    Conservatives learned the difference, donkeys, like always, base thinks on hoiw they feel.

    At least moderates respect the office of the president. Democrats have know clue what loyalty is. The last time they were this disloyal to the office of the president was when they were hippies in the 70s. It was more understandable back then because they were stoned and confused.

    It's no surprise you always vote for what the right wing tells you to. You obviously can't think for yourself so others have to do it for you.

    Sad.

    You just proved my point. You think someone voting the same way each time means they didn't take into account all sides.

    If you vote one way one time and another way the next, it's wishy washy. As for the definition, it means lacking in character. Someone you can't count on because you don't know which way the wind is blowing for them on an issue is someone that lacks character. Unlike the fence riders, people can count on me because they know where I stand. If you're one of those that may go this way OR that way, you can't be counted on for anything but knowing you can't be counted on.

    I don't tow the party line. I vote based on my convictions. You confuse that with your incorrect statement. I wouldn't expect a wishy washy person to understand what it meant to have convictions since you live by flying by the seat of your pants.

    I vote based on my convictions too. However, my convictions are not always neatly put into a partisan box. It's not wishy washy to agree with one party on some things and another party on others.

    I thought you said you supported the issues not the party? Guess that was a lie to and just another example of what make you wishy washy.

    Mine are in a partisan box. They would be if I didn't look at where each side stood but that isn't the case.

    I do support the issues rather than the party. That's my whole point. Sometimes I happen to line up with Republicans, sometimes I happen to line up with Democrats, sometimes I happen to line up with Libertarians. Sometimes I disagree with all of them. My stance on the issues, although largely unchanging, are completely independent of any party platform.

    Mine are in a partisan box.
    Yea, believe me I know.

    Keep waving the flag and pretend you have convictions, rather than just team spirit.

    In other words, you don't have any fundamental beliefs just go with the wind.

    Keep pretending you're anything but wishy washy. What you do is like mixing oil and water.

    Exactly. There is no one size fits all party. Only sheeple march in lock step with a single party.

    CFM is just trying to justify his blind allegiance to his party by calling others wishy washy. It's obvious by his comment "It's called not being able to be counted on when you're needed". He wants to be "needed". The right has convinced him that they "need" him to "save America". He doesn't vote on the issues. he votes on the big letter in parentheses after a candidate's name.
    Hopefully, one day he'll realize how irrational this thought process is.

    You obviously don't understand the meaning of "wishy washy" as it applies to this argument. You really think that someone who doesn't always vote for the same party is wishy washy? That's just stupid.

    Let me ask you this. Would you vote for a liberal republican over a conservative democrat? Let's see if you have the b@!!$ to answer that. I'm betting you don't.
