I try to stay away from political discussions, because I think most issues are too complicated to really resolve without a lot "but in this case" exceptions to whatever rule you want to make. That being said, I think a lot of polictical debate would be better served if this happened. This is copied from Jimmy Stewart's imdb trivia page.
His best friend was probably Henry Fonda, whom he meet while at acting camp. Early on, they got into a fist-fight over politics (Stewart was a staunch Republican, Fonda a very liberal Democrat) that was won by Fonda, but they apparently never discussed politics again. When Fonda moved to Hollywood, he lived with Stewart and the two gained a reputation as some of the playboys in Hollywood. Once married, both men's children noted that their favorite activity when not working seemed to be silently painting model airplanes together.
I think a lot of the utter hate and bile spewed by the politicos would subside if they just had themsleves a good fist fight and got over it.
