I actually had to come back and respond again b/c your whole post made me laugh. So you can't label someone or thing based on one aspect of something?

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU CONSTANTLY DO??????

Atleast I got a good laugh today. Thanks for the joke.

"ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU CONSTANTLY DO?????? "

Ummm, no, that isn't remotely what I do. I judge people on what they say and do. If a Democrat wants to cut taxes, I call him conservative. If a Republican supports abortion, I call that a liberal idea.

Your posts might make me laugh, if they weren't so breathtakingly wrong all the time.

To clarify...I make conclusions when they are valid. For example, if a sitting President explicitly says that entrepeneurs didn't create their businesses, I would say that President (1) has no affection/understanding for free market capitalism, and (2) has a screw loose.

However...if a politician is a Democrat, I would not therefore conclude that he is liberal. YOU are the one who implied that CT is not a liberal place because we have had governors who were Republicans. You are therefore necessarily assuming that 'Republican' and 'liberal' cannot occur together. Nonsense.

I connect dots when the connection makes a great deal of sense. You do it out of blind desperation either to prove your points, or to refute mine. And it shows.
