But what I say still stands. If it'll make you liberals feel any better, let me rephrase it and say that just those liberals in power and the ones who follow them blindly, they are the ones that are hateful

Mmmmmmmmgggggggggggggg, can't do it. There is still too much partisan issue on the left for me to consider it. Why do you VOTE for these people?

Even if I were totally neutral in all aspects on the political forum, I would still see more hate-filled rhetoric on the left.
I've given examples, and people have responded with quotes from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, et al.
The only legislative piece they were able to produce was from a failed GOP led vote on not allowing recognition of gay marriage.
I am getting tired of this same argument that people fail to rcognize. As much as people have accused me of being blind to partisan issues, I am dealing with people just as visually impaired.
I jst get so tired of hypocracy. Be it left or right, it just gets sickening. Only the left dress it up as "helping" and the right dresses it up as anti-left.
You just can't have a rational argument with irrational people, I guess.

I'm just being honest. Of course I see things as a construct, partisan slant.
I am human. Unfortunately, our species has this sneaky inability of seeing things totally neutral because we are raised by humans, are around humans, have our judgement sometimes clouded by pretty humans (a nod to my bride), and as humans, our judgement will always be clouded by the influence of other humans.
The best we can to is just our best. Perfection is an allowance only applied to Buddah, Jesus, and my mother-in-law.
I can only try to do the best I can, be the best I can, see the best I can.
If you want to add honesty to my ever growing list of faults, then so be it. would be proud to wear that t-shirt.

Agreed. I find it hunerous that the more partisan a person is, the more "un-biased" they claim to be.
It's like refusing to acknowlege that there even is another side to a coin.

mikerussellus, wondering if there are times to take a position based on your political party base belief system. Perhaps these days it's far more important to take a position based on what's right.
