I am a political science major in college and I would like to be more informed of all the politics that is going on. Obviously I can watch the news but I was wondering from what other sources I can gain more knowledge. For example, maybe a book, an online website, radio station or anything. I want to keep up with current politics such as the war in iraq, the war on drugs, how the government works and runs, myths, secrets, and scandals pertaining to the government. Thanks.

Is anyone on here serious when they debate politics, or is it more or less a game we play?

I’ll be honest, I like playing devil’s advocate and the debating part of politics is entertaining. But I get the feeling that some people on here seem to almost consider themselves prophets by the way they speak with unyielding certainty.

So my question is this: are you on here for the sake of debate or do you have an agenda, something you are trying to prove? I’m not judging, I was just curious. Thanks!

Republicans act only to benefit the wealthy.

Democrats act only to benefit the criminals.

Madoff is a Democrat. He’s wealthy, but he’s also a criminal. So he chose the Democrats.

So if politics is a contest between the wealthy and the criminals, do the wealthy criminals always win no matter what the outcome is?
