Toxic Political Discourse

At term to describe the sad state of politics America in the 21st century.

With the increasing influence of talk radio and so-called new commentators, there is more vitriolic argumenting and shouting than ever. People like Sarah Palin,Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and Mike Savage are ranting and raving like complete idiots. These people tear down and make up lies about people they disagree with rather than offer any solutions to the problems we face.

This toxic political atmosphere is making political campaigns longer, meaner, dirtier and more expensive every year.
Toxic political discourse is creating a lot of tension, flustration and violence, but few solutions. We need to tone down the hostility in Washington, on the radio and on cable TV, before we destroy ourselves.

Politically transmitted disease

A highly objectionable political or social view or affiliation held by a previously compassionate and socially conscious person after a prolonged, sexual relationship with an ultra-conservative individual. Abbr: PTD.
Shamona was pretty cool until she started sleeping with that neo-con Nigel and picked up that politically transmitted disease... now she's uncomfortable unless she's surrounded by people of pallor.

When he said he was D & D free, I thought that included PTDs. Now I find out he's been a greedy pig ever since he got married to Lauren.

Wtf, you belong to the NRA? Politically transmitted diseases are worse than chlamydia, dude!
