The Bloggers With The Most To Say

Politics on Blogs? Yes or No?

Do you ever get political on your blog? Why or why not? Do you like reading political commentary from your general not-normally-political blogger?

I ask because I recently wrote a "political" post, but it is not truly political. It is more a future-parent's perspective on the morality one hopes their child will have. http://timalohoney.blogspot.com/2012/11/non-partisan-political-thou...

Is that too close to being political for a non-political blog?

Just curious!

Yes - I am political on my blog, but it's a part of who I am. I don't write unintelligent opinions, I write opinions and back it up with fact. I could care less who I alienate, because I write for me. With that said, I think it's silly to stop reading a blog because of political affiliation. One of my favorite blogs is McCainBlogette, Meghan McCain's blog (I am very liberal).

I intend to be a bit more political on my blog as needed. The main focus of my blog is contemporary culture; as a married working mom, that includes things like equal pay, work life balance, access to affordable health care, education...The list goes on. When something politically related to those things occurs, I do intend to talk about it. So far, my only political posts were pretty neutral, but some of them in the future may not be. I hope to reign it in enough to not go off half-cocked with a poorly researched post. That will probably help me handle any debates in the comments, too.
