I'm fairly partisan and I think I'm getting more liberal with age and experience, but I did vote for McCain in the primary in 2000 and would have seriously considered voting for him for President because he's pretty moderate. I am tolerant of other people's opinions and understand that your point of view and belief systems are largely a product of your own life experiences. After working in health care for 16 years, most of it on psychiatric units, with kids, you see a lot of things wrong with society that you want to see improved. As your parents become old enough to be severely affected by "senior issues" such as Medicare/prescription coverage and Social Security, your views on that change. As your kids are affected by cuts to the schools, your views on that change. If you own a small business or work for a Fortune 500 company, your issues and views are going to be different, because you're living in a different world than someone who works in health care.
If partisan means that you have strong opinions and ideas about how things should be run, then I'm very partisan.
If partisan means that you think everybody who disagrees with you is an idiot and deserves to be insulted, then I am not partisan at all, but am very turned off by people who are like that (and have stopped responding to their posts here).
