How Political Should You Get on Facebook?

Maybe you're a die-hard Democrat, and you think Barack Obama wiped the floor with Mitt Romney in the presidential debate Tuesday.

Or maybe you're a staunch Republican, and you believe Mitt Romney was on top of his game.

Do you share these opinions with your Facebook friends?    

Maybe you shouldn't, suggests a recent article on Boston.com. People of all political leanings said they're learning too much about their friends' and relatives' attitudes.

The article is informed by data from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.

The study found that 18 percent of Facebook users have blocked, unfriended, or hidden a friend because of political differences or a distaste for the sheer volume of the friend's political posts.
