Every party has it's rotten apples.
Parties exist to elect people.
Philosophies describe ideas.
If you disagree with someone's ideas, debate the ideas.
If you would like to ask a question about a philosophy, fire away. But try to avoid personal attacks, it didn't work too well for the other poster. I assume you are an honest poster so you can take that as a general comment not aimed at you specifically.

Yes. But "rotten apple" is not a universal standard. What makes Schwarz a "rotten apple"? What's the difference between a "rotten apple", and someone who espouses views that are at odds with the philosophical underpinnings of a party platform? I'm just trying to make sure I understand your point.
