Well, not exactly what I was trying to say, but part of what I believe. A lot of arguing is for the sake of just that, to argue and oppose. Most of what these crooks are doing in DC should be criminal but there's not the right type of oversight and not everything is so cut and dry to prove intentions.

Many politicians care more about their party, corporate sponsors, favored lobbyists, etc than the greater population. Many voters care too much about the party that only cares about their vote and money and much less about their actual issues. It's a wonder anything ever gets passed through Congress.

Republicans said that Obama would be a pushover for the terrorists; he takes a few months to make a decision on Afghanistan and he's accused of neglecting them and causing further losses by not sending additional troops off of the bat. Then we he announces plans for a surge he's criticized again for that. This goes both ways with each party, but it's a glaring example at the time. I usually don't even mention that I'm personally conservative because I don't want to get grouped in with these neo-con wackjobs that've ruined the Republican Party.
