Your litmus test for "typical party politics thinking" is whether or not the argument in question is factual. You just said as much.
No, I didn't say as much. I suppose English wasn't your best subject in school as you don't seem to understand it very well.
The thing that started this whole exchange is when you called me out for being partisan because of this quote:
the Republicans did have a Republican oil man in the White House when they had a majority -- sort of the equivalent of the Dems having Al Gore as prez and both houses. I'd say that was quite a little advantage they did nothing with. They also had SIX years with that advantage, invaded and occupied freaking Oil Land, and STILL came up with zip.
You seem to lack an ability to look back a few posts in a thread too.
I called you out on partisanship because of the following moronic statement:
By any reasonable measure, that's proof that Republicans are stunningly incompetent at governing, legislating, and probably tying their shoes.
To which I replied:
Typical party politics thinking and why things are so fucked up. Anyone who blindly adheres to a party is a moron and is part of the reason this country is heading into the crapper.
And I stand by that. This sort of stupid partisanship does nothing but harm the country. I never responded to the part you quote above because it is basically true and I have no problem with it. The moronic statement you followed it with is what I took issue with, but you don't seem to be smart enough to understand that.
It's interesting how many Republicans, like yourself, feel the need to claim to be independent. In your case, it's clearly pretension (you're sooo much smarter than the rest of the nation that's "dominated by morons"), but I wonder if it isn't a little bit of shame, too. I'd be ashamed if I was associated with a party that had that record.
Sorry for you there, Skippy. I am not associated with either party and never will be. I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past depending upon whom I thought was the better candidate. You can continue to believe I am a Republican if it makes you feel better, I really don't care. It's pretty typical for those who are so enamoured of a party that they can't imagine that anyone who disagrees with them could be anything other than a member of the opposing party. Frankly, all who blindly follow either party without question are no better than sheep being led to the slaughter.
