Reply #48: Yeah, but I'm working to get past it

I don't want to let anyone off the hook for their poor choice, but I think that the whole animosity aspect isn't a way to resolve anything. I want a real solution, not just someone to blame and honestly I've never had to search so hard for the truth or wade through as much bullshit to get to it ever before.

I think Republicans have the right to believe the way they do as long as they let me have the same courtesy. I think if most of my Republican friends knew the truth about torture in Guantanamo Bay, they would be appalled. Being a Republican doesn't make someone an asshole all by itself, but it sure makes them difficult to deal with sometimes.

If we can get to honest discussions with the other side and help them see how they have been lied to, they won't like it any more than we do. I think there is a great potential to turn this country from the Republican platform if we can show them we are not petty in this regard, but seriously worried about all of America moving forward with leadership that cares about something more than paying back the people who bought him the office and wrecking everything that works in this country just because they can.
