re: #296 palomino

That just depends on your viewpoint. My conservative friends in TX see things in starkly opposite terms. This country’s now too big, diverse and fractured for any consensus.

the parties are interchangable with regard to the original post….my point all along is that regardless of right or wrong, or principle, or conceding for the common good, the first order of business these days is to draw up lines and begin with the typical accusations…it’s both left and right, as if parties are some sort of divine club….the line must be towed, the members protected at all cost….it’s no way to govern, and not only is govt guilty but so is the electorate….it doesn’t matter to me where Thomas is ideologically to me, the question is did he break the law?…why should politics matter?
