For what it is worth:
Aslong as you are willing not to be bothered by certain individuals, you will find that you can talk about anything (as long as Neal plays along, that is). Unfortunately, there are those who seem to be so unsecure about themselves and their political views, that instead of staying out of a discussion, they will try to derail it just to make themself or their view of politic appear to be superior.

As a foreigner living in this country, I am certainly very interested in the fundamentals of both sides. Preferably untainted by the media and bloger sphere.

Having political parties is pretty stupid, why should we have to align ourselves to some arbitrary group. Rebublicans = Idiots, Democrats = Morons in my eyes and no party except maybe the Pirate Party deserves my vote.
