Maybe you're just such a Democratic shill that you think any criticism of Obama and the Democrats means that the critic is a Republican. It's called GOP Derangement Syndrome, and you've got it bad. You parrot DNC talking points to the letter and back them up with...well, usually nothing. Sometimes when confronted instead of admitting your error you just change the subject. A couple weeks ago Helenwheels challenged me on something that I could very well be wrong about. I haven't followed up on it yet, but I will, and if I'm wrong I will gladly say so. I'm more interested in the truth than just asserting that I'm right.

It's also funny that the two people who most often point out your faulty assertions are NOT Republicans. I don't know about SoCalGangs, but I've never belonged to any party and have voted for people on both sides of the aisle, as well as third party. I was even considering volunteering for Democrat Loretta Sanchez, and I may still do so. The thing is for me, I'm not beholden to any party.


That's right. Truth is more important than some political party. Peoples identities get wrapped up into these political parties and then it blinds them from the truth as they're unable to challenge their biases and assumptions. We all have bias but it's important we expose ourselves to new ideas and counter arguments. And not just dumb counter arguments but the best counter arguments out there.

I've never belonged to a political party either. philosophically I'm more libertarian than anything and even that's subject to change in the face of new evidence and reason.
I don't even belong to the libertarian party. I don't believe party politics are the answer anyway. Speaking truth no matter what, or seeking truth no matter what is what is important. Politics and elections are about popularity. Speaking truth doesn't usually make you liked and popular.
