I'm astounded at the level of partisanship in politics today. When I was growing up, people would generally support one party over the other, but rarely did people agree 100% with what their party of affiliation said.
These days, it seems that there is an almost religious devotion to political parties. If a proposal comes from the opposing party, it must ipso facto be wrong, worthy of scorn and anathema to everything that is good and right in the world.
At the same time, we know that it's impossible for one side to ALWAYS be right and the other side to ALWAYS be wrong. So...my survey:
1. Do you believe your political party is ALWAYS right?
2. a) If so, why? b) If not, where do you think your political party is/has been wrong?
3. Do you think that partisan politics have become too contentious?

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
