I can't wait for the debates. Romney is one of the best debaters I've seen. Obama not so much. And I'm not just saying that because I like Romney better. Obama is a good speaker but let's not confuse that with a good debater.
To be fare though Romney already has the upper hand because he's got 4 years of a presidency to pick at. That's something Barrak doesn't have.
I wrote a research paper in one of my Psychology classes about change in political opinion and the way people view their own changes on certain stances. The result was basically that people don't like to just up and change their political opinions. They like to act as if they've always had their opinions.. Not to toot my own horn but that's what makes me unique.
I think psychology sort of helped me to become more open minded thus allowing me to change opinion.
Now this is something that I would have completely disagreed with when I joined this site that I now agree with completely. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 even when I was a kid I remembered being confused about "why Iraq" but then I quickly formed my opinion when I heard people talking crap about Bush cause that was a no no.. So me being for Iraq was really just a defense mechanism because I hated liberals. ..well I still do. (:
Although there is some pretty sketchy stuff about that day..like building 7.. heaven forbid I mention the C word. ..no not that one get your mind out of the gutter! (;
Edit: one thing I forgot to mention- you said something about a declaration of war.. -never happened.
"Sure, generally... if libertarian isn't a partisan position."
K so you might have a point there but it's not so much bipartisan as it is open minded. We all know that both parties are not perfect. I'm not saying you said that democrats are perfect but I'm also not at all saying that you were bipartisan like you said you were.
"For this particular comment though, description without context in order to enhance the negatives one holds of one party, even should that person at the same time be pointing out the negatives of the other party, is not bipartisan, it is partisan, only partisan from the "lesser evil" perspective."
What's wrong with that?
Well it wasn't me that did it but perhaps it was due to lack of sources or uncontrolled partisan bias. It just sounds like a kid sort of thing to act like one party is golden and the other one sucks. You sound like a kid talking about how superman could kill batman.
Democrats are much more easily defined and predictable than republicans these days. It's big gov. pro abortion you can't do it, let us do it discouragement campaigning hoopla.
But there are all sorts of republicans out there.
Republicans like to act really conservative when running for office and then not act conservative while in office. This makes things confusing because some actually are conservative and get ignored by the media. (Ron Paul)
I've never really felt comfortable calling myself "republican" I usually say conservative ish/ almost libertarian. No matter what side you are on it would be childish to say that there aren't serious issues on both sides..
First of all what does the ten year old believe? Why do the parent's beliefs play such a big role here??
The parents should tell the "truth" which is the fact that they DO NOT KNOW what is going to happen. Which brings us to an interesting point. Atheists claim that they don't know until cold hard evidence is in place yet they say there is no heaven as if it's a "cold hard truth". So it's not at all fare to call that truth. (:
