I used to think LoT was awesome because we could have political discussions without people trolling or name calling. But it seems that it was all an illusion.

I'm taking my own advice. When an actual political discussion can be had without the same people beating the same dead horse I'll come back and play.

Please quote where I have called anyone names in this discussion.

Some of us are simply tired of our right leaning friends here defending the Republican party at all costs - especially with what is going on right now. It seems to me that most Republicans (include most of my family) seem incapable of criticizing their party and fellow Republicans, or even recognizing that there is something to criticize. This attitude of "party first, before country" is something I am just unable to fathom. It boggles my mind.

And yes, I know that there are some Democrats with that attitude, and I have just as much disdain for them. But it is far less prevalent on that side of the fence. Blind obedience to party seems to be a much more right-wing thing.
