Partisan politics trumps political ideology everytime.

That does seem to be the prevailing climate of the neo-cons. I always cringe when I see FReepers resorting to childish name-calling of the opposition (DimoRATS, liberdopians) in lieu of actually arguing against the ideology. Too many people around here think Pubs vs. Dems is a football game, and spend more time hurling insults at the other side than helping their own team.

There are a thousand reasons to dislike the ideology of liberalism. But to simply say "Democrats are a thousand times worse than Republicans" as a security blanket when "your team" is doing something reprehensible just seems like a head-in-the-sand partisan game.

true....

I boil it down to this...Conservatism is not always right and socialism is not always wrong. To hew to the party line, regardless of party, is wrong headed.
