Liberal (Thumbs Up) or Conservative (Thumbs Down)?
Isn't that what every question in this topic is really about? Nobody is going to change their viewpoint, we're just looking for somebody to agree with us.

Pretty much. When I come to this section its almost like watching fans of rival teams. Most question are trivial, useless, and lack substance. Most revolve around "The other team sucks! Who agrees with me?"

Time will show one side or the other to be accurate.
Such as history will show had the liberal press not demonized Bush so badly, that people would not have such a negative opinion of him.
Granted Bush was far from being the best President we ever had, nor was he the worst. Had the press been unbiased and more candid, he would not be blamed for all the woes of the liberals.
The presses job is to report the news and not interject their own biased views, bigotry and intolerance into their reporting.
There were so many facts and conjectures about Obama before the election however the liberal press did not want these facts known, people have begun to either hear them for the 1st time or realize they were true, and they are amazed.
In time I do believe some people will change their minds, others on both sides will never change their minds, simply because they do not want to.
My views are more middle of the road, women should have the right to choose what happens with their own bodies. The 2nd amendment is something I believe in as well. America and freedom are core beliefs of mine, I am Patriotic, and believe in a Free Constitutional Republic. Although I do believe in God, contrary to popular belief not all conservatives do believe in God.

I honestly don't care if someone agrees with me or not. I joined YA to give my opinions and see what others have to say. I've given best answers to people who I normally don't agree with on anything because they bring up good points when responding to questions I ask. If I need validation for anything, I sure as hell wouldn't come here to get it. LOL.
I also don't click thumbs up or thumbs down on any responses to other people's questions. The only time I do it is when I select a best answer to one of my questions.

So... if I thumbs up/down somebody, does that make me a Republican/Conservative? If I submit an clever reaction, does that make me a Democrat/Liberal? If I do the two, because of the fact I easily tend to persist with what i think is logical and common experience, mutually as vote casting for those I consider and vote casting down those I ensue to think of are inane and unfounded, what does that make me? individually, I easily tend to think of of myself as a liberal Conservative, particularly with out each and every of the conspiracy bent and senseless hero worship. it could be advantageous if shall all of us play advantageous mutually and not carry each and every others own, religious or political ideals against one yet another... yeah, appropriate. Plus a splash bit trolling is exciting each and every now and then.

I have been called both, by people on both sides. One some issues I am very liberal and others I'm as conservative as they come. I get so sick of the us v. them mentality here.
Too much black and white where there needs to be shades of gray.

If I agree or disagree does not dictate thumbs up or down. If I think you are being an @ss be you left or right you get thumbs down. I don't want everyone to agree with me, but when I say I don't want to pay for someone else's health care, I don't expect to be called names.

Not true...I am willing to be open minded...but I will thumb down the following catch words...
1. Bush's Fault
2. Pulling of race card
3. Any attack on FOX
4. Any attack on GOD
5. Any attack on Conservatives...name calling
I am sure liberals do the same thing...just being honest.

I think I'll go shoot myself now. I just read one of Jared's answers that I actually agree with!
Good job Jared, that answer was actually 100% on the mark!

It's fun to point out again and again how idiotic Liberals are.
I always wonder if the truth will ever sink in, or are they lost to reality for good.
