9. I hate people who can't justify their actions
Edited on Sat Dec-24-05 06:53 PM by flaminbats
I used to spell out for Republicans why I vote Democratic..and why they should be Democrats. After talking plenty of neocons to death, I eventually understood how ineffective my monologues can be. Now I start by asking a Republican why he or she voted for Bush. Usually I get the same answers.."I support the troops, we need to support the President during a war, or because Bush had more experience than Kerry."

I'll respond by asking "how does a vote for Bush support the troops, how did Bush's taxcut support the war, or what makes Bush more experienced than Kerry?"

neocon response.."By supporting the commander-in-chief, I don't support this war, or he's just less liberal than Kerry.."

me.."how does the commander-in-chief's taxcut support the troops, then why did you support Bush, or what's wrong liberty?"

neocon.."by raising revenue, because he's conservative, or nothing at all."


Talking is usually a waste of time, especially when the person you're talking to isn't listening or just doesn't care! :shrug:
