Republican, Democrat, Who gives a rip?

Has anyone else noticed that even the smallest thing can be turned into a pointless argument between Democrats and Republicans? I call the arguments pointless because 9 times out of 10 they usually are. For instance, I was reading a news story about a homeless man who saved a woman's life only to be stabbed in return and then as he lie dying on the sidewalk people just walk around him and basically ignore him without so much as a call to 911. That in itself is horrendous to even think about. But it doesn't stop there. Apparently some people thought it upon themselves to make it a political agenda. Some were saying it was the Republicans fault and others saying it was the Democrats fault. Some how I think that it has nothing to do with politics. I may be wrong but unless a Republican is the one who stabbed the man, how in the hell is it the Republican's fault? People in this country have become heartless and it is comments such as the ones that I read accompanying that story that prove it.
I feel like I must also remind people that there are other political parties other than republicans and democrats. Just because someone is pro-life does not automatically make them a conservative republican and in turn just because someone supports President Obama and the job he is doing does not make them a democrat. With that said, why make things that are not even remotely about politics into a political agenda? It makes absolutely no sense to me. I do know one thing though. All of you idiots out there that make everything into a political agenda are just that, idiots. I could care less what political party you are affiliated with, if I don't like the politics of a particular candidate, I will not vote for them. If I do not like a particular bill, I will not vote for it. Do I really have to be republican or democrat? I think not. I have gone 7 years without affiliating myself with a political party, and I have no regrets in the way I have voted. No not all of my votes turned out like I would have liked them too, but as a US citizen at least I spoke up for what I thought was best for this country. The sooner all you political idiots out there start realizing that is what you should be doing, the sooner we can hopefully get this country back on track.
On a side note: Instead of complaining that you don't like any of the candidates, exercise your right to write in a candidate. I did so in the last presidential election, because I did not like any of the candidates (and it has nothing to do with race or gender or any of that nonsense) so I chose to write in a candidate. Granted I knew he could not be president, but I showed that I was not happy with the choices given. If you must know, I wrote in Arnold Schwartzenegger. Because he was not born in the US he can not be president, but I did not care. I mean come on how cool would it be to have a president that could push the big red button and say "Hasta La Vista, Baby." Ha ha ha. My point is that you do not have to settle if you are not happy with something. And just because you are one person, does not mean that you can't still make a difference. So don't just sit there and complain. Get off your lazy ass and do something about it!
