Reply #50: You are being intellectually lazy in my opinion.

So you are of the opnion that EVERY person who has the 'R' next to their registration is a terrorist Nazi Klansmen? Well they aren't. I'll give you an example, since it only takes one to show you are mistaken.

I have a friend from school that I could not disagree with more politically. He is a Republican through and through, top to bottom. He's also a very smart, good man. (and that's what infuriates me!) He loves his wife and works hard at his job, and recently became a foster parent for a young man he knew from the Big Brothers program. He opened his home because he believed it would help this kid. This kid was almost certainly headed for trouble, but now will have a fighting chance because someone gave a damn. Now is all of that irrelevant because my friend voted for Dole in '96?


And don't pretend that you're "fighting to win" anything. Rhetoric like yours just polarizes the country further and makes real, positive change very unlikely. Fighting to win means changing peoples minds about policy issues, not demonization.
