That just proves Wiphan has preconceived prejudices that run deep. Wiphan doesn't have frigging clue what supporting the Democrats "means about me and my beliefs". Sadly. What it means is only that I support the Democratic action, for the reason I gave. Nothing more or less.

One is talking about the other poster. One is talking about the subject.

Then you go on with the following, which has nothing at all to do with the above, really, and thus is confusing to me why you said it:

riot, you have unabashedly and unashamedly admitted your love for the democratic party; that you think they're the cure for what ails us as a country...you back their play on any and every issue that comes down the pike --and then you post that.

At least you could be accurate. No, I have not posted my "love" of the Democratic party, I have posted my complete and utter disappointment with the failures of the Republican party. Not the same thing. There is alot I am not comfortable with within the most progressive wing of the Democratic part (and I've said as much here, which appears to be completely ignored) - why I never voted for a Democrat on a national level before Obama.

it tells me he knows you have a bias. and if you're uncomfortable with some of their actions, yours posts don't show it. if anyone wishes to know the stance of the dems on a subject, they need look no further than your posts. you aren't objective at all. and you may be a recent 'convert' to the cause, but it's still your cause.

Yes: I am speaking in favor of the Democratic side, and Wiphan is speaking in favor of the Republican side.

Neither of which has anything to do with explaining why Wiphan feels the need to interject the personal perjorative, "This to me says a lot about you and your beliefs"

It's nice that you are trying to argue in support of Wiphans' assumptive prejudices, but what I said was that going there is uncalled for.

Why do people here always have to interject and make it personal about the other posters, when the discussion is about the pluses or minuses and actions of the politicans?

i didn't say it was uncalled for. i found your remark ironic, and posted as such. it was nothing personal, the only thing personal is that you posted it, and i asked if you really meant it. had wiphan typed it to you, i'd have asked him instead.
i don't recall backing up anyone's assertions in this thread. i have said the whole thing is a mess and a shame, and i meant that. that state isn't being helped by the actions of both the exec and ledge. the govt is no dictator, he has no business acting like one. the unions have, imo, blown this out of proportion. there are things that need cutting; wisconsin would be best served if it's 'leaders' all sat down and hashed all this out.
meanwhile, it seems to be all about who is winning the media war.
