but you're criticizing it as if it is, then one can only assume that you're stupid, or you're part of the problem.
I was once a Democrat but switched to Independent. However, since I believe in Conservative values, the most logicalcandidate to vote for 99/100 times will be the GOP. However, if any Democrat were to exhibit Conservative behavior, and their GOP opposition didn't, I could vote for the Democrat. It's substance over party.
When it comes to compromise, fine, but you don't compromise you principles.
Not sure where you get this "racist" crap from. That's usually the signal that the person you're talking to has no rebuttal so just resorts to insults like racism. Gets pretty damned old.
Yay! You believe in gay marriage. Most don't. Just because you want something that others don't doesn't give you the right to call it "progressive". Change is not always progress. Hell, just look at who we have in the White House now for proof of that.
