re: #404 Buck

You miss the fact that many conservatives can differ with other conservatives on different issues. Only a blind ideologue would support everything and anything just because Mitt says so.

You seem to want me to be a cartoon character. People are more complicated than that.

Look, if you admitted that you disagree with virtually all right-wing politicians on the issue of marriage equality, that would be OK. I mean, I’d still think you were wrong to support them and their bigoted opposition, but as you point out, people are complicated and have multiple opinions.

However, what I can’t stand is the lies. The claims that the Conservatives supported marriage equality in Canada when they did everything they could to oppose it and only stopped opposing it overtly when it became clear that there was broad political support for it. The bogus facts in support of your opinion. The denial that politicians can affect policy when the politicians you support happen to disagree with you.

That is what I mean when I say your head is messed up.

Accept that the politicians you support are opposed to gay people getting married and are trying to prevent it from happening. I’ll still think your support is misguided but I won’t accuse you of being messed up (or at least, not on those grounds).
