I always treat people’s decisions on who they support in the primaries with respect. I may disagree with them strongly, but that is very far from saying they haven’t given their decision any thought.
Saying, for example, I think Rick Perry is a weak candidate is not the same as saying those who support Perry are stupid robots who “don’t understand” and “haven’t thought through” their support of him. We all have gone through a thoughtful process, we just reached different conclusions. So what? That doesn’t mean that one of us is stupid or should be insulted.
If you’ll review the post to which I was replying, you’ll see an example of what I mean. A person who expresses support for a candidate and, instead of simply disagreeing with others who don’t support that candidate, can’t resist adding on that anyone who doesn’t agree with him is stupid, lacks understanding, is duped or manipulated, or hasn’t done their homework.
If you could point out an example of where I have not conducted myself with that way, I will be happy to address it.
I was simply trying to encourage civility and your response to me really wasn’t. I don’t get that.
I complimented you and then asked a question. There was no incivility on my part. In any event, from your posts, I got the impression that you were taking backhanded swipes at Perry, which seemed to run counter to your advice. Maybe I'm wrong, it won't be the first time.
Perry, Cain, Bachmann, I'll be satisfied if any one of those three get the nomination. Romney and Obama are our enemies, IMO, and that's where our focus should be. Perry understands that better than the others, IMO, so he is my preference.
Enjoy your day!
