You make jokes, but one day you will awaken to realize that that is how most democrats see you. Oh they may not be as visceral about it as Deshtard is, but trust me they see you as an enemy worse than ISIS and Al Queda. They just don't see you personally as a threat because you don't give them any indication that you are willing to fight so they want you to think they like you.
I know that this will seem personal, but it is not. It is a tough thing to reconcile that large swaths of your fellow citizens do not just disagree with you but see you as a mortal enemy that they will do anything to defeat.
Are the democrats who are pro development or the democrats who are anti market rate development liars Desh?
Who the fuck are you?
They are scared that they will lose their next election.
I'm under no disillusion of who how democrats view me. Living in California for so long I've been called racist, sexist etc to my face by people I don't know how many times because I'm a republican.
My personality is one that likes to bring people together even in an area as hopeless as politics. But I am well aware there are many who believe like BAC and Desh do that what you do in life doesn't matter you're entire being is essentially defined by how you vote. And to them I'm the enemy
top priority was NOT the people
the top priority was to RUIN the ability of the PEOPLES CHOICE to get anything done that the people hired him to do

the irony is especially rich ...Dem's have taken obstructionism to full fledged war on legitimacythis is who the republicans are they hate the people
Why give in to bullshit .. from fucking racist?
I see you as an enemy??? That's bullshit and you know it. I've never called you anything but 'brother.'
You're confused .. and you're flailing around like a fish out of water trying to understand your own confusion.
How you vote IS PART OF WHAT YOU DO. It's an essential part of what you do. How you vote cuts to the chase about essentially who you are.
You vote for an essentially all-white political party that demonstrates absolutely no compassion for the poor or disenfranchised. How in the Hell do you consider yourself 'compassionate' when you also aren't working within the community to help those people? How?
Where are your posts attacking the republican budget that demonstrates zero compassion for anyone but themselves? Where?
I like you brother .. would love to talk politics with you and a beer/doobie .. but your confusion in how you may be viewed is internal, not the product of everybody else.
How about this .. just be you. Stop caring about what others think .. stop listening to fucking racists.
This is true, I was called a democrat many times on this board because I didn't support/vote for Trump. Now I don't know if I'm compassionate or not.
Is there a board arbitrator I need to present my case to for a final determination?

classic "passive-aggressive" disorder......Why give in to bullshit .. from fucking racist?

As stated before I would have a drink and watch a game with you in a heartbeat. It's not a personal thing. But for many people politics isn't the driver in their life. They don't spend hundreds of hours on a political chat board with the same people. And when I see people such as my mom who voted for Obama in '08 and Romney in '12 I don't think she became evil all of a sudden or a different person. I'm a Republican because they are closest to my beliefs. I didn't vote for Trump because he does not support what I do. My beliefs aren't based on what the party does.
So no, I don't believe people are defined in life by their political affiliation and I know a lot of assholes in life from all political stripes so I try to judge people individually and not by their group. (I don't always do that of course. In fact often I don't. But especially in one on one situations I try.)
I agree with just about everything you've said here my friend .. and I don't see your mother as evil either. Frankly, there isn't a whole lot of difference between Obama and Romney. Obamacare IS Romneycare, both with the exact same Heritage Foundation origin.
My argument is not that you're a republican. My argument is that you demonstrate the same lack of compassion for poor and disenfranchised people that is indicative of the majority of republicans.
I'll ask again, where are your posts attacking the republican budget for its gross lack of compassion for anybody but themselves? Does voting republican demand that you stay mute about what you don't agree with .. or, do you agree with that budget/lack of compassion?
You vote for an all white party .. yet, I've never remotely considered you a racist in 10 years of conversations between us. Thus, I do not define you just by the party you vote for, although I will indeed question the specifics of your politics.
I define you by your words and the character that I see in you .. and I assume you do the same thing .. which of course is why you like me. :0)
