Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Let them bash Bush if they want to. If they're really "attacking" you, then they're not very good friends, are they? If they're just giving there political opinion, then you're not being a very good friend when trying to silence them.
After Feedback:Why must you debate over this if you feel overwhelmed? If you can't take it when everyone disagrees with you, then stop voicing your opinion. I don't see a problem here at all.
One more thing, take the music off before I suspend you.
Also, stop harrassing other columnists. You are damn lucky I don't suspend you right now.

Just because they bash Bush doesn't mean they are bashing you. You might be taking it a little too sensatively. Politics are an extremely sensative subject when you get two opposing views together. I am for Kerry, but both of my roommates are for Bush. We don't talk about politics because of the very problem that you have. As much as we try to discuss it, it's not going to change anyone's views about the election, it's only going to turn into a "I'm right, your wrong" game. It doesn't mean that we dont' like each other, it just means that we have different views of this one subject.
Just last week we had a little get-together and my male roommate and another friend started talking about who they wanted for president. One wanted Kerry, the other wanted Bush. If a person had walked in on the middle of them talking, they would have thought that it was a big argument, but to the people who were there the whole time, who new that these two were friends... it was perfectly normal that they would be arguing back and forth about this subject. Sorry this is so long, I write a lot when I drink. But my point is... Don't think they're attacking you... just tell them your own reasons for likeing Bush. Don't let them push you around.
*Edit: Look, little girl, if they were making fun of you for liking Bush, then THEY ARE BASHING YOU FOR LIKING BUSH! Also-I did not even say they were bashing you, I said that you might be taking it too sensatively- Get your facts straight. And don't call someone a Bitch when they are trying to help you out.
I think you really need to get your facts straight before you rating a question. Don't rate someone bad, who gave you useful advice, just because one little word was something that you wouldn't have said.
I aggree with storage-Stop harrasing columnists and take that stupid music off of your column.

ohm dont worry... im in the same situation, (except i like kerry) like every1 i know is 4 bush, but its not a bad thing. express your opinion. sometimes its even fun to debate stuff.

*Just tell them it bothers, you. They might carry it on because they think you really don't care.*

this is a serously touchy subject.
I will be honest I am for Bush but I don't want that to effect my advice. I do agree with storageanddisposal but I also think that you need to tell your friends in a calm voice that you feel overwhelmed and like they are attacking you. Let them know that you are for bush but they have their own opinion thats fine. tell them that it may be best to stay of the subject of politics for a while. If the subject does come again tell them how you feel and if you start to feel overwhelmed again than leave. There nothing stoping you from walking out that door.
I don't care if people vote for Kerry or Bush because I know who I beleive in and know who is right. Think of it that way. Good luck and please give them the bennifit of the doubt.

sorry hun but im an anti-bush too. YOu really need to listen to the news more and get into those politics before you can say hes was a good leader, which i dont think he was-he LIED! not just once either- anyways sorry i got off topic there but if you dont like talking to them about politics -bad speller! sorry- then tell them that you dont want to talk about that stuff when yall hang out cause you dont want your diffrnt opinions to get in the way of your friendship or something along that line, hopefully they will listen and try not to talk about it around you.
hope it helps

eh politics is always a touchy subject for most people i guess, since irt really bothers you calmly let them know that it bothers u. B like "guys i know that ur against bush but please stop bashing him and makking comments that aren't tru about him." or if u just wanna avoid the subject with them all together u coud say "guys id reather not talk about this cuz it always ends up in an argment" and then change the subject. Hope i helped

u cant do anything realli everyone has their own beliefs and basically their not liking bush is just an opionion an opinion that alot of people have but just the same its ur opinion that u like bush and its not a fact that bush is better cuz he has done a lot of wrong things however he has done a lot off good things too so if it realli starts to bother u change the subject or tell them u dont wanna talk about this or leave the room or whatever i dont believe theyre trying to attack u and if they are well theyre not being very good friends but if i were u i would just try to not let that subject be brought up and if it does just be like wellu guys can like who u want and ill like who i want but theres no reason to argue about it cuz neither of us are going to change our minds

First off... no offence or anything but that's a really stupid reason to get all pissed off. It's not like you can vote or anything you're still young, I agree with your friend though because Bush does suck along with the government, but thats besides the point. You have your own opinion about Bush and they have theirs. You really shouldn't care about that. See, if this was like a "I love the Yankees and they love the Red Sox," then that's something to worry about, but for God's sake, it's BUSH!!! ANARCHY 2004!!! sorry about that... but hey, the government sucks.
EDIT: sorry darlin... i was expressing my opinion... i didn't know you were 18. Do w/e you want!!! It shouldn't matter to you what they think about Bush. If you like him then you like him! Just ignore them!!!

well, both canidates are easy targets, so attack kerry.
if not, try to avoid the topic if at all possible.
