I have not spent much time in the social media arena. I spend a bit of time reading articles and commenting but I stay away from the political blogs.

Maybe the social media is drawing more of the unemployed or the employed that are playing on the bosses time... Democrats.

Here's part of a comment I just posted in a Jeremiah Owyang thread: "[W]e probably need to take a step back and wonder if our data is skewed. I spend very little time on the "Everyone" tab of FriendFeed, or the everyone stream in Twitter; for much of the social media community, U.S.-centric political definitions are irrelevant."

You aren't alone in this "observation." I'm a fan of debate, even when it gets a little heated.

I agree with Rick Warren when he said at the end of the Saddleback Civil Forum: " I just want to remind you that one of the greatest freedoms we have here in America is the freedom of speech, even the freedom to protest this... that's a good thing, but we have to learn how to have civility in our civilization. How to stop being rude, how to stop demonizing each other, how to have a discussion and a debate because we all want America to be greater place."
