"they are wrong" is hilarious.
ive found that with my friends, the republicans in the group tend to think they are flat-out right while the democrats tend to just "disagree" with how people feel.
there is a fine line between accepting that other people may feel differently and just calling them objectivly "wrong"

Funny thing is he couldn't be more wrong. I always pay whenever I go out with my conservative friends, I've heard the same thing from all my liberal friends too!
Cheapasses are cheapasses plain and simple. To correlate a liberal or conservative label to being a cheapass is absolutely ridiculous.
ahh grasshopper, but remember you are but one, I have lived my entire life (well most of it) in the wonderful world of liberalchusetts and believe me some of the cheapest bastages live here out of anywhere...and most of them are loony libs.

I agree. However if I were to make a statement like this based on my experience - it would be the same as bozack's. But then again I almost always volunteer to pay especially if it was my idea to grab a bite.

I don't listen to Hannity on the radio cause it sounds like he's got his testicles in a vise, but I like him on Fox with Combs. I really like the fact that there are two voices there who don't agree and points aren't pounded in like nails without any challenge. I think for the sake of our country the public airwaves should all have this kind of give and take. It's clear from reading these forums that most people have never even learned to think critically and don't even know what it is.
i agree in theory. i just find that hannity is the only voice that gets much play during that show. not that its his fault, he is a very outspoken individual. and alan just doesnt have the personality to push his out of the way. sometimes, he will when he feels strongly enough.
but i, too, wish there was more open discussion on tv and the radio. (radio especially)
They should put James Carville on opposite Hannity. Hannity would be in tears by the end of each show!
Conjur:
Bwuahahahaha! I was thinking the exact same thing. Or, Al Franken if they were serious. Combs may be the worst journalist on t.v. Weak, weak, weak. Does he still wash Hannity's underwear?

You really consider these people your "friends"? The whole statement is wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin. It's unbelievable someone would say such a thing.
a lot of the times, one group or the other is wrong. it has nothing to do with how one feels. example: i feel murder is ok. well, we all know murder is wrong. period.
how about another: welfare. you're letting people leech on the system for free, no cost to them. you're redistrubuting societies wealth while a lot of society objects to it. that would be wrong. affirmitive action? yup, thats wrong too. infringing upon our Constitutional rights. dead wrong.
in my experience conservatives are realists, they call the shots as they are not worrying if it offends. liberals however are wistful. they say they dont want to cause trouble or controversy [yeah right] so they just say something to the effect of "you have your opinion and i have mine"
20 Million people vote for American Idol, only 18 Million voted in the last National election. Given that, we should take away everyone's right to vote and just allow Shaq to be king. Shaq would be a good king.
shaq!? man, he made that stupid KaZaam movie AND he tried to make a rap album. he needs to be subdued, not deified!
<sigh>
Everything's black or white with you, isn't it?
Ok, I'll give you that one. Murder is wrong. Pretty cut-n-dried.
Have you ever needed welfare? I have. And I'm damn thankful it was there when I did need it. I also see many young families struggling to get by. If they had assistance to be able to get an education yet keep working w/o losing benefits, they can get a handup. If they had assistance with child care in order to work to better their position and save money, that would be a handup. They don't want a handout. Sure, there are some who will abuse the system but they'll find a way to abuse about anything to feed their selfishness. Should the needs of many be ignored because of the greed of a few?
Not a big fan of affirmative action, myself.
True conservatives may be pragmatic but those in the administration now are FAR from being conservative. They are neoconservatives. They are former liberals with authoritarian leanings.
Liberals seek to find a medium, a common ground. They don't presume to know what is right 100% of the time. They will engage in debate to find that common ground.

Geez, talk about rose-colored glasses. Politically inclined liberals are just as bad as the conservative variety. The only difference is the bag-o-tricks they want to force down the throats of the hapless, easily duped majority. Liberals want common ground? Tell that to the millions of gun-owners in the US who want nothing more than to have a defensible bottom line, as guaranteed by the constitution.
yes, everything is pretty much black and white. its either right or its wrong. you cant play a relativist game with important issues like those our government faces every day.
no, i've never been on welfare because my parents have done everything they possibly could to make sure we never needed welfare. we have come close, but never needed welfare. as for myself, i will never find myself on welfare. i will continue to starve untill i find myself another job. and what do you mean by "some will abuse the system"!? go live where i lived and then try and make that statement again! everyone i knew on welfare abused the system! i even had single welfare moms [yes, thats plural] asking me [as an 8 year old child!] for money so she could buy ciggarettes! i see mexicans here in texass who abuse the system! they use their food stamps to buy their food and their WIC coupons to buy their children food, then they whip out a wad of $100 bills and ask to buy one pack of marlboro reds! then they go and load their family into a brand new ford f-350 with the name of their landscaping company on the side of it! i think if they can afford payments on that damn truck, plus afford all the landscaping equipment they own, then surely they can afford to pay for a family and not leech off the system. welfare is long overdue for reform, it cannot stay in its current form for much longer! and its not greed that makes me say what i say. i hear a lot of liberals preach about whats fair, and its definately not fair to those of who have jobs and pay taxes to be supporting our families and snother family in southern california or hicksville, arkansas!
liberals dont seek any common ground [theres that wistful thinking again] they want to enact their "i know whats good for you" attitude on the whole of society. need examples? lets use the previous redistribution of wealth example, plus throw in wanting to outlaw guns, and wanting to eradicate religion from public society, just for good measure. there is no common ground that is able to be achieved on those issues, and if there is, id like you to show me.
