You're making overtly contradictory statements now, so I think we're done Isaac Send a noteboard - 31/07/2011 01:57:37 AM
I don't hate or think them, or anyone, "evil".


Then you're on a tangent, seeing as the qualification for this not being one, which you say is exactly what you meant, specified modern political divisiveness as being caused by the right being "inherently evil".

I think a lot of them are dangerous radicals catering to an unstable fringe. I further think John Boehner agrees with me; it's just so vicious now he's afraid to say so publicly. I'll keep to the fiscal policy side of that since that's what we're discussing, but it's DEFINITELY applicable in OTHER areas. Rejecting radicals who share much of your ideology isn't rejecting your principles. Disgust with their rhetoric and disagreement with their ideology doesn't mean I disagree with Palin and Bachmann on 2 and 2 being 4 (though atm I'm not sure we even do math the same way... ). Keep the ideology and we'll debate policy, but dump the radicals before they bankrupt the country.


You've got a pretty low bar for radical, and vicious one considering how you've been talking about radicals of late. At this point I'm going to recommend to you what several others have, take a break from posting on politics. Find a new hobby for a while.

Boehner was onboard with Obamas initial deal but cited his caucus as the reason he backed out of it. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:39:06 AM 721 Views
I'm sorry, did I mention Boehner in my message somewhere? Or the deal? Isaac - 26/07/2011 03:11:40 AM 542 Views

Is there some lack of understanding about 'tangent' maybe? Isaac - 30/07/2011 04:57:15 AM 582 Views
Not at all; you stated exactly why I wasn't being tangential. Joel - 30/07/2011 12:47:08 PM 485 Views

yeah, he pretty much lost my vote for a second term. *NM* Aisha - 25/07/2011 11:31:16 PM 221 Views
The real question is where do we go from here. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:52:31 AM 466 Views
Reid didn't cave as much as you might think random thoughts - 25/07/2011 11:58:08 PM 516 Views
I agree with that. nossy - 25/07/2011 11:59:41 PM 540 Views
to bad we have a media more interested in hyping the drama than they are in cutting through BS random thoughts - 26/07/2011 01:42:39 AM 527 Views
Absolutely. Macharius - 26/07/2011 01:37:08 PM 464 Views

I agree completely. nossy - 26/07/2011 05:07:37 PM 509 Views
Yeah, but any tax hikes, and any Dem leverage, is gone now. Joel - 26/07/2011 01:51:04 AM 686 Views
the tax cuts are set to expire on their own, they don't need to vote to cancel them. random thoughts - 26/07/2011 02:04:58 PM 463 Views
Yes, but they voted to extend them last winter, which you insist was the Dems fault. Joel - 27/07/2011 03:30:33 AM 548 Views
