Not too political. Just too black and white. Sounds like your hypothetical Republican.

(was Re: Consider Plan C: Go Gangster ) OK, I sent an email directly to Chris as I wasn't willing to be so blatant about the differences between Democrats and Republicans. But I agree with Jim that Democrats tend to not view the world in black and white as much as Republicans tend to--i.e., they are not as rigid in their thinking, with exceptions of course. I also feel that Democrats, on the NATIONAL level (I live in Chicago so need to make that point) are far more ethical relative to their concern for our country and our people--white or black, rich or poor. Sadly, the Republicans seem to rejoice in the ability of money and corporate lobbying groups to control the way our government works. We so-called liberals are quite lazy and so allow such to go on. That's the real advantage that the right wing has--that they are far more vocal and active in expressing their thoughts while we liberals simply "tsk, tsk," to each other while taking little action. Whatever your party or belief system, we should write letters to our government leaders and media about our beliefs. I realize this email will be perceived as way too political and I apologize for such. Just felt strongly about this.
