Should this "politics" section be renamed "Partisianship"?

Seriously, the questions seem to be attack statements, not information seeking. Anybody else want to see this change and to have a forum for political discussions?

    i'm an independent and try to see all sides of a discussion. while there are attack answers and questions from both sides it does seem to me, anyway, more come from the left. is there really anybody out there that expected this kind of change? i know this isn't what i was hoping for. i didn't expect to own banks, mortgage companies, auto companies, insurance companies and who knows what's next. i didn't expect that my children and grandchildren would be facing this much debt. i watch a variety of news and commentary shows and it's very obvious that the media has a huge stake in this president succeeding. the daily press briefings are more like a laugh-in rerun than being informative and certainly few tough questions are asked. gibbs may have been good at the job he had during the campaign but, as a press secretary bad doesn't begin to cover it.

    one good thing about this admin. is due to all the hype, i think more people are paying attention to what's going on inside our govt. and are finding out how appalling and corrupt it is. we, the people have long been forgotten. it's a good campaign talking point but, once elected it is quickly cast aside. hopefully, people are waking up to this sad but true fact and will begin to clean house. surely, everyone must realize that our govt. will never clean up their own house.

    Not at all. Political correctness, what you are advocating, has brought us to this point. The days of having frank and honest discussions have gone the way of dinosaurs. The right has thicker skin and is more capable of dealing with adversity and those who do not agree with us. The left deals in "feelings" and just can't take criticism so they cry and whine about "being hurt" out of one side of their mouths and call conservatives murderers and other vile names out of the other side of their mouths But, in fact, the left is the most hateful, racist, bigotted, anti-American group ever and they prove it every day through their actions and their media. Just look at how they answer on this dias. At least they get it back some here...

    Partisanship, propaganda, and rants merely disguised as questions.

    No.

    "You get suspended if you hurt my feelings" would be a better name.
