[quote]No, AJ; I have to firmly disagree here. You don't find the same kind of unreasoning hatred of liberals by conservatives, as you do in the reverse. You folks just assume us, and it, to be the same way, simply because your views are so deeply entrenched that you can't envision it being any other way. You're so used to being hateful of us that you think we're the same way.[/quote] That's entirely your opinion, and so be it. Though I have to say that it smacks of vic

[quote]LOL - and Obama's one redeeming factor is Biden! AT least Cheney was not a total idiot - cant say that for the last 2 democrat VPs[/quote] See, I don't think Biden is an idiot; i think his major issue is he doesn't know when to shut up, his tendency for loquaciousness goes beyond absurd at times. Then again, he was re-elected consistently in his state - so I guess the people there were confident in him. ~AJ</

[quote]You did pose a question, but you followed it with a statement that screamed "you liar". You were not acting on ignorance, you were acting on the belief that the Democrats had not said it but you got busted by AD and now you're acting like "I didn't know" when all you had to do was do some research or at least pay more attention to the news. You're comment did not come off as ignorant, it came off as confindent you were right and the article writer was wrong but you failed to take into

[quote]The republicans don't have majority control, and they are not the ones ramming this BS bill through with back door deals and closed door meetings.[/quote] So what? Accountability and ethics have nothing to do with whether you are the majority or not. I don't have to wait until the short, broad shouldered, husky built people are the majority to stop and ask myself - Am I accountable for my actions and inactions? Am I being ethical? The republicans are just

[quote]To be partisan[/quote] To be partisan, to me, is to completely and blindly accept your party (or ideaology's) beliefs and not: 1) Think outside the box you live in. 2) Be willing to work together (Not: I want it this way (90% their way) before I accept it - which would lead to the other party's support to bail...etc. Ex: I want a health care reform bill that has reform taken out of it...). The opposite of that, what I believe in - means essentially, that your loyalty

[quote]To be partisan, as you believe, I suppose I would have to support all republican initiatives, which is hardly the case. Of course minor stupidity in government will always take a backseat when major stupidity is in action. If they Democrats can come up with an idea that doesn't socialize something, nationalize industries, or waste taxpayer money I'd be happy to listen. Would I vote for a Democrat? If his/her actions were consistently conservative enough, sure just as quick as

RE: On the matter of MF's "open-mindedness." MF, like anyone else, has his/her share of bias, partisanry, and so on - he's human. (Welcome to the club man! \s) I did not intend to imply that MF is the be all and end all of open mindedness; no one can be, because bias is a fact of life. Unfortunately, both due to my lack of detail on my original comment, and, I would venture to say, some folk's bias and "openmindedness," my comments were taken/understood contrary to w
