your second and fourth paragraphs are pretty interesting imo. you accuse me in the second of going along stark party lines, which is laughable since i lump them all pretty much into one broad category-useless.
I can only go by what you say. You were the one that said your "biggest issue with me was that I believe in the democratic party."

Well, I don't happen to, "believe in the democratic party".

Now you say you don't like any party. Good for you. So I must assume you have an issue with anybody who supports anybody in one of the political parties? You've ignored all I said about crossing party lines. You keep bringing it back to separate parties. Better to have an issue with the "issues", and not with the "people".

Yes, I do blame the current GOP for obstructing this country attempting to move forward out of this recession. I've watched politics for decades, I've supported the GOP for decades, I've given lots of money to the GOP over time, and this is a pretty disgusting stand the GOP in it's current incarnation has taken. As far as I am concerned, the GOP is up against a policy wall, embracing the extremist right wings of the party, that is killing the party. This wing has always been there, but it's never run the party (even though it's tried before in the 60's and 70's). I want nothing to do with the GOP in this incarnation. Quite happy to support a non-GOP politician and hope they do better.

I have no apologies at all for my political views. I have no apologies for supporting a candidate of my choice from any party.

If you don't believe in supporting any politician of any party, fine. In contrast, I do. We have a political system and I think it can work. I find some political individuals quite worth supporting.
