First, the gawker link is merely a 'blurb' and the link to The Hill results in a page not found. Even the link in the blurb on Gawker results in a 404. http://screencast.com/t/5Tj7ekETctIN That is what I see when I try to get details of the poll. Regardless, should my perception change simply because some people (not even a majority of people) disagree with me? > > > > Regardless of how people feel about Democrats, it does not change how I > > feel about the republican party, as a whole, handle the 'nut jobs' - the > > same can be said of democrats - someone from the Democratic party should > > have publicly slammed the guy who thought Guam would top over, for > > instance. > > > > > You are taking a stance that republicans don't handle nut jobs but I'm > showing you most people think the Dems do a worse job than the GOP.

That little detail aside, can't view any of the information the poll supposedly presents due to a 404 error. Given the fact that the link you posted does not work, I'd be willing to bet you did not even read the poll. If you did, can you please post a working link to it? > > > > When members of one party refuse to call out members of their own party > > when they say stupid stuff, it gives the perception of approval > > > > But the Republican Party did attack Todd Akin.

I can;t believe I feel the need to say this, but, no, I do not let my children talk like that, but if by chance they did, and I said nothing about it, people would perceive that as their approving of his behavior. I explained how the republican party's reactions to some of the things their members has said and done (and the democratic party as well) is perceived by me. I was not arguing...you were. > > > > The silence only exists because you get your news from extreme left-wing > > sources. > > > > Making sweeping assumptions again. please stop, it makes you look foolish. > > > > > Are you really going to try and convince me that you read balanced news > when you have such a strong bias against anything republican? > What do you consider 'balanced' news? I am so sick of having to read any news through a liberal (MSNBC, CNN, etc) filter or a conservative (FoxNews, etc) filter. I get most of my news from the BBC, they seem to be less sensationalized (though I bet you will say they are 'left leaning'). Typically, I will read the same story on Fox and CNN and try to figure out where in between both stories the truth lies. It is hard sometimes. Must be nice to just devour anything on FoxNews, or whatever 'balanced' news outlet you get your news from, and assume it is gospel. > > > > > Starting to seem anyone who does not agree with you 100% of the time is > > 'extreme left wing'. > > > > I never asked you to agree with me, just saying you always attack anything > that's not extreme left. It's pretty blatant. > You attack everything that is not extreme right, hell you attack anything that is not even mildly leaning right. Your political scale must be all sorts of messed up if you think I am 'extreme left'. I tend to disagree with the extreme left and the extreme right..tells me I may be on the right track. > > > > > > It happens.

Sometimes, it is really hard for me to understand if the problem is that I poorly explain my position or you are just dense. -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
