US Politcs. Can we stop HATING the oposition?

I appreciate your point. I don't "hate" the opposition; I really don't. And I certainly do not put party before country. I simply believe that my party of choice holds better, more beneficial ideals for my country. I try not to make it or take it personally. If the "opposition" chooses to, however (Moooooom! She's looking at me!), there's not a whole lot I can do about that.
