[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hey, I know. Every day I wonder if I am becoming a Republican.

I do think I understand the Republican (not Tea Party) thinking on this though and that's not a bad thing. They have some very good arguments. We can find common ground and we have to find common ground or none of this will work.

I am the product of a Republican father and a Democratic mother. They always cancelled each others votes. I don't really care if my allies are "the likes of Bobby Jindal and Ted Cruz". This is not about joining a club. I like to think of issues independently. It may work out better if more people did that. That's why I hate your "Obamacore" excuse and now "the likes of Bobby Jindal and Ted Cruz" statement is turning me off as well. People like you are not helping us get to a solution. Your partisanship and passions are getting in the way.

It's not an excuse. It's a description of reality. That is the reality. I agree that it's not how the world should be, but it is how the world is.

Also, if it doesn't bother you that your allies are Bobby Jindal and Ted Cruz, then it certainly doesn't bother me.[/quote]

Shouldn't we be trying to go in the direction of how the world should be?  Or have you given up?  I'm a teacher.  We don't give up.  "Never, never, never give up" (Winston Churchill).   You've been with the data too long.   [/quote]
