I was trying to say that I just don't even recognize the party that's operating right now under the "Republican" banner. And I think it's great, KSigkid, that you see it as a responsibility to take the burden on as a "Republican", but I just didn't want to see you taking people's comments about the booing, etc., so personally. I don't think anyone on this board thinks of you guys and your beliefs with the same distaste they may have for the more the extreme voices that have taken over for the Republicans, especially during the last legs of this campaign.
Sorry if I didn't articulate that well (before or now). I've been through enough wins and enough losses to understand how elated or depressed both sides feel right now. And it does seriously suck to be on the losing end. |
I respect your viewpoint - but I honestly think there are people, on this board and beyond, who have imputed the beliefs of Bush, McCain and Palin, across the party. I honestly think that some members of this board have taken the beliefs of the party and imputed them to every individual member. And, I think it's evident from the comments by some members of the board.
There are some people, like you, who have been extremely accepting of the opposite viewpoint. But, that's not universal, unfrortuntately.
