Yes, it's all one big hypocritical ride, isn't it? The conservatives love the liberals that they damn, and the liberals are accepting of everyone as long as they're not conservatives damning liberals.
So basically, everyone ends up on their own side, until the walls are torn down by bombs, and then no one is left to etch sweet nothings on anyone's tombstone. Well if it's going to be like that, there's nothing left to do but to buy a ticket, get in the cart, keep your safety harness fastened and your hands to yourself. Let's have fun out there ... before we all die. [This message has been brought to you by the optimistic pessimist.]

Did you forget to take your Prozac, Ñólendil?
I was amused by the "mandate" for goals like restructuring the tax code and privatizing SS. How about just finishing the mess in Iraq. That would be impressive. Or is the war just a cover for the real agenda? *reaches for Prozac* In the name of reaching out and bipartisanship shouldn't this thread be closed? lol

As for the war in iraq - I don't think that is as much of a mess as the media wanted to portray before the election. I have a feeling that the constant negative reporting will now disappear. Most of the media was set on an agenda - to prevent the reelection of Bush - they failed.

It actually had to define what "open-minded" to someone who described themselves as that...right before saying "But it's my opinion, and NOTHING will be able to change that. I can't stand it when people try to change it." No one was trying to change her particular opinion. They were explaining their own side. ::headdesk::

I think we should come up with a new faction (neither conservative nor liberal) that can get along--they'll just be really confused.

I don't really give a rats rump what people are labelled as anyway. I'm quite socially liberal, but probably conservative in other areas... (maybe finance?)etc etc. So it doesn't really matter what we call ourselves. We just should express our feelings with respect for the views of others.

Tell that to those "open-minded" (snigger) conservatives. There is a reason why "liberals" are called such. They have a liberal attitude, i.e, they have an OPEN MIND. Sorry, it appears that the caps lock slipped on at a very appropriate moment..... But anyway, I think your trying to convince the wrong people. .. I'll be here till Tuesday, try the Veal!

I'm amazed that someone who is open minded would swear at me, call me names, and label me as "ignorant" or "retarded" simply because I'm a moderate. True story, and what's worse, it happened DURING class.

A fellow student.
And it was in my math class, so politics had no place there anyway. edit: ANd I really don't appreciate your sarcasm, since I take harassment seriously.
