What are your strengths and weaknesses talking politics on the DU? I'm

[applegrove]

perceptive but not one for analysis. I should stick with sussing realities out and leave it to people wiser than me to write & think up actions.

1. Swear words fill my head

I also lean toward paranoid thinking when it comes to the repugs, they pull dirty tricks.

2. I like to point out hypocrisy.

People against abortion, undermining planned parenthood and family planning. Thus creating more abortions.

People that are against big government and want to regulate what goes on in our bedrooms.

It goes on and on....

3. I'm at my best with novel information. I don't have a big background in American

history or politics but am slowly, methodically building up my knowledge into a model of how it all works. But it takes me a while to do this analysis (like weeks). So I should either wait to post something or post just my simple insight.

4. Sex.

Well, I also have strengths in mathematics, philosophy, computer science, political science, vegetarianism and cooking in general, science, gardening, and a few other areas. But mostly sex.

6. I'm an authority on all things, political and otherwise. If you provide the liquor, I'll provide the

proof.

7. I have bipolar so...guess what my problem is.

One side says, "I don't like confrontation!"
The other side wants to rule with an iron fist. I either get horrible tremors, or my blood pressure goes up. My reaction to things could be deemed irratic, except it all balances out in one way or another.
