Since when is calling some one a genius an insult.
Maybe a genius like you can figure that one out.

While I may be insulted at being called a liberal (probably more amused) I doubt that those who consider themselves liberals would take it as such. And saying that someone has a ridiculous take on something is not really an insult.
Yeah, too bad you didn't do that. You didn't call the opinion ridiculous, you called the poster ridiculous. A genius like you can figure out the difference, right?

It isnt my fault they have misrepresented the truth or simply said something ....ridiculous. Like your assertion that you are indeed a Republican despite your having posted about 1000 times in a row backing Democratic points of view or knocking the GOP, its members or Fox or anything else that may be considered remotely conservative
And he ends with a personal insult

He was being ridiculous. And you have continued to misrepresent yourself. You being insulted about your liberal bent is telling. You are embarrassed to be a called a liberal yet almost universally adopt thier policys as correct.

I'm not "embarassed" to be called a liberal by those ignorant of the breadth of my political views. That would only happen to someone like you, who views the word as a slur

Yup. I'm a lifelong Republican. The party is floundering horribly right now, and that ticks me off and I'm embarassed and angry for what my GOP has become. I voted for Obama because I think him tons better for the country than McCain/Palin ever could be, and yeah, I do want aggressive healthcare reform.

That some of my opinions don't coincide with your narrow-viewed little corner of the conservative world doesn't disqualify me from the GOP in the least.

BTW - there are alot of Republicans who view folks like you as the outliers.

I thought I wasnt a Republican? The party's floundering has nothing to do with the core issues of which you have a decidely liberal take. You fail to understand many of the issues that you debate which is why you dont even realize when you simply repeat liberal talking points. Hey balance is good. There is nothing wrong with you wanting to be a Democrat. Specter jumped ship. Why not you?

LOL - you don't have a clue what my opinions are about the vast majority of Republican core issues. You fail to understand that your personal opinions are not the only ones common within the party. You think anybody who doesn't think as you do is "a liberal"

You have posted enough to make a pretty accurate determination that you have a decidely liberal bent. I never say that my opinions are the same as the GOP. As a matter of fact I rarely mention the GOP. I have many times expressed that I dont care much about many social issues though I would probably lean right on most. But I absolutely oppose the vast majority of what this administration has proposed economically and the cost of the vast social program has cost. If you havent figured that out yet then I guess i am just not trying hard enough.
