I disagree, but I don't know how to argue this without naming names, so I won't.

Of course, your version of a liberal may be different than my version of a liberal.

That is probably very true.

Reminds me of an old George Carlin bit. I'm paraphrasing, but it was essentially:

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot and anybody driving faster than you is an a**hole?

Maybe anybody to the left of me is a liberal, regardless of my or their actual stance. While I hold many conservative viewpoints, I also fiercly defend many liberal positions as well (abortion, gay marriage, etc.)

Really, really good try, though. I nearly fell for it, mainly because I was too lazy to check.

"Smarmy" GD's word for NM is my new favorite word... for today.

Ah I see what you are saying. You are not referring to Democrats in general, but rather specific Democrats.

Well I think neither party is doing a good job of representing their traditional values. Bush is a terrible republican...Clinton wasn't much of a Democrat. Many of the Democrats that just won were more centrists.

Maybe its time for the two party system to finally fail! Viva la revoltio! Third parties...pounce!

Agreed. Third, Fourth, or even a "Cafeteria-style" party affiliation would work better than the current system. But, then, how would people effectivly - even if wrongly - pigeonhole others?

If you're referring to me, I still fail to see how you could possibly read through this entire thread, in ernest, and not see a pattern of political persuasions. I mean...you really really have to be looking the other way to not see it.

Hmmmm. I have over 7000 posts here and you have under 300. I wonder who has a better overall understanding of the leanings of this board.

Often, when you are too close to something, you can't see that which is obvious. Can you honestly read this thread, and think that the views are basically evenly balanced?
