re: #220 Great White Snark

Well yes, but I might filter that a little by way of what his ballot even offers, so I might look at what he or she would advocate or vote for given the chance. I think the part that bugged me worst was the connection to domestic violence. Just seems a cheap shot to a person that might fit the title more sincerely than the people the author winds up really meaning. Such as you describe there.

Yeah that’s a fair point. And being in California, your brand of conservatives are definitely different from ours here in Virginia. I agree with you that she could have phrased it differently because it does come off as a cheap shot but as I said, I do have a problem with those who proclaim themselves pro-choice, pro LGBT rights, pro-science, pro-secularism, etc but then consider or give the GOP candidate a vote because “I’m a fiscal conservative.” The thing that bugs me is the assumption that “fiscal liberals” like me like taxes. No one actually likes taxes but as a member of the so called fiscal left, I see them as a necessary evil in a modern society.
