Don't Agree? Flee!

1) Yes.

2) I'm sorry, but collective bargaining rights for unions in Wisconsin most certainly does not affect the whole country.

3) The only "ridiculous claim" that I am "pushing" is that our politics has become so partisan it hardly functions properly. Never once have I blamed a particular party for this problem...in fact, I've gone out of my way to say that both parties are equally culpable.

I'm not entirely sure what the meaning was behind the last line of this quote...feel free to elaborate if you think it will contribute to the discussion.



I suppose this sentence explains your behavior up to this point. So far in this thread, it would seem the only overly dogmatic one is you. Besides, it's been 3 years now, the Bush Punching Bag is no longer appropriate to use...particularly in dealing with issues that have nothing whatsoever to do with what most people dislike him for.

I'm just glad to see that you have such a fine grasp of the mentality of the average Republican voter. Thank you for that insight.



Is it? I believe that state issues eventually swell in significance to become national issues in some cases, but the core of our federal system of government is a demarcation between state and national government.



Which puts you in the minority?



Have you been to a standard university before? In general, most universities tend to have a more liberal makeup. Obviously, there are always some conservatives at any college, with a few colleges even being majorly conservative (I went to such a school). These colleges are certainly in the minority, though...you generally won't find a majority of "Republucan" students and/or faculty members.

I'm particularly curious about what you mean by "adolescent intrigue" also.



I'll be sure to type a source later on and look into these statistics. Perhaps you could provide a few of your own to justify your claims?



Except you were.



There isn't any proof to justify your claims in this regard. Again, I think you're making a hasty generalization about the populations of metropolitan areas to get this statistic.



You don't need literal perfection, but your arguments need to follow some appropriate logical flow. I'd just like to point out that for all of your complaining about being "harrased", you are the only one who has used an ad hominem argument up to this point. Again, we have a case of the pot calling the kettle black...except this time the kettle is blue and the pot is looking in a mirror.

Demographics was never an aim in my post. I don't even know how you felt it necessary to bring that up.
Logical flow?

Second, what happens with the unions in Wisconsin eventually have an economical impact on the country. It also steps up Conservatism, which also impacts the country.

I have never served ad hominem arguments ever on this thread or any other. It's just a sneaky accusation to get the upper hand in a debate.
Irony?

And what statistics are needed to be posted? Demographics are not relevant. I just figured people should know that the only reason universities have liberal presence is because of the African persuation that actually votes within them.
VA is a Commonwealth. I don't see how it could be liberal without some kind of extremity.

It's amazing. I say the word 'areas' and all of a sudden my whole point gets flipped into something else.

Furthermore, I didn't know Republicans stop competing after a bad president leaves the office. In fact, they fight harder. Look at Glenn Beck..
It's somewhat personal, yes. Because I do not have a silver spoon up my ass, and naturally do not have an optimistic view on conservatism. But what I've stated is also accurate and well-known. The fact this is even being argued in this fashion disturbs me.


So I would suggest taking a look at your intellect before insulting others.
