I was getting badgered at work about Tom Delay, who has done nothing wrong. When I pointed out this trial and its implications for the Clintons, I was told it was another attack on the Clintons by the evil right. In fact only one of the twits even knew about it, the rest just parrot the NYT and the gag inducing Saint Louis Post Dispatch. Its a shame, too. These people are all good freinds of mine, some of whom attended my wedding, and it drives me nuts that we can be worlds apart on something that is as plain on the fly on your nose to me; the complete lack of morals and honesty that Clintons embrace..
Over the years, I have found that expousing a conservative viewpoint can/will be harmful to your career aspirations. There is a personal hatred that these people hold for anyone without a 'socialist' attitude.
My advice to you is to not look for deep, political discourse with these types... their depths are way too shallow for navigation. Indeed, sharp rocks lie close to the surface!
