The problem is group think. This is liberalism in general. If you stray outside of the group think, you're attacked viciously. The problem is, people don't want to listen to reason. And then you have those that are putting on a front so they don't have to deal with someone verbally (or even physically attacking them).
I've had to deal with this in my own family. I almost got assaulted (by family) because I said Obama is bringing out the worst in everyone.
"The problem is group think." Couldn't agree more. If Romney had a "D" behind his name, (which he should), you'd hate him. He espouses the same policies but because he has an "R" behind his name he's on our team. Right?
