I'm politically open-minded. I'll listen to good ideas from anyone, regardless of their political affiliation. I've done work for National Wildlife Federation and Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign, but I've also done volunteer work for Prison Fellowship Ministries. My views on most issues are pointedly left-of-center, but those I worked with at Prison Fellowship Ministries had no cause to take issue with my expression, and my duties included (among other things) the archiving of Chuck Colson's personal/private files. Political affiliation does not make right or wrong, by itself.
The rabid partisanship in Washington D.C. has been disheartening to me, though. Bill Clinton could have been welcomed as someone who would build concensus, but Republican partisanship went to unprecedented heights, during his presidency. President Clinton was only the second President to have been impeached EVER. I think it's fair to say that Republican partisanship has been unprecedented.
