Briana Dawson Hm, some people view their mental illnesses as something to overcome, not hide behind.

It's not your fault, it's just your politics.
Wait. People choose their politics. Oh, well, scratch that.
(Actually, people often don't, it's an indoctrination thing so maybe I'm wrong.)

Well with somepeople it is a matter of indoctrination. With other people its about history, domestic and/or foreign policy, college, and other things that ultimately guide a person toward one party/candidate or the other. Briana Dawson |

I base my political decisions on strong moral values. That is why I am a liberal.

SOME people believe that erecting elaborate straw men to be knocked down by overwhelming common sense is a political tactic that should be used by the clever and powerful public speakers in this country.
I, however, strongly disagree. I think we can all agree that such people are underhanded, deceptive and ... uh, um... oh nevermind.
