I don’t think everyone here would agree with me on 20% of the issues, but I’m not the opposite of anyone here. If I acted like John, I think I would have to be extremely vocal on my biggest differences and push them as though they’re ‘our plan’.
I feel that I’m on this forum to discuss issues of commonality. I might have a differing method in my views, but I’m not going to over play my differences. I think John looses me there, because he lacks the diplomacy of his own party.
If he wants to make ‘our views’ seem more acceptable to both parties,...fine, I’m willing to see that sort of compromise, but if he starts left and move to the center, then he has no reason to be called a conservative.
But thanks for your reply and I agree.
Thanks for your response. If John wants to push leftist policy, I could at least respect one aspect of it, and that would be him doing it from the Democrat party.
Trying to hide behind Conservative’s skirts to push what he does is extremely dishonest. It is destructive to the party he has the gaul to claim he represents. That really bothers me.
Go hawk that leftist policy as a declared leftist, if that’s what you want to do. Don’t destroy my party to hawk that crap.
This isn’t meant to reflect on you at all, so don’t take it personally. It’s just a declaration of my thoughts on John.
Take care.
