25. Would seem it's that way for people on both sides
Edited on Thu Mar-18-10 09:46 AM by laughingliberal
Bill supporters seemed to be trying to one up each other in how insulting they could be last week with many resorting to 12 year old tactics of talking about his looks, his wife, and his height. Now he's their hero.

I, frankly, do not hang my loyalty or support for policies on one politician or another. I can make up my own mind about bills and policies while taking the opinion of those I respect into account. My support or lack thereof for a politician depends on how often they support and vote for bills/policies with which I agree and how often they oppose legislation with which I agree. There are those, like Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, and Kucinich who, for the most part, stand with working class and poor Americans. And I do take their opinions into account. But I have never decided that one person or another supporting or opposing a bill was enough information upon which to form my opinion.

edited to add: last week in 1st line
