Sorry, but I do not owe you or anyone else a “justification” for my opinion.
My point to you was that you are begging all of us to do “more of the same”, expecting a different outcome. My experience tells me that the same input will equal the same output in the vast majority of cases. Certainly, that is the exact formula I have witnessed within the R party over the last several years.
Finally, I did not criticize you, FRiend. I stated that I specifically disagreed with your opinion on this matter.
So, to help you understand why the tone of your inquiry is so wrong, let me rephrase your two little questions:
1) There is no point in an abusive marriage where the abused has the right to sever ties with the abuser. Wouldn’t you agree?
2) Have you, personally, done enough to satisfy the arbitrary rules proposed by person X, who specifically reserves the right to disallow any points they might disagree with?
Answer those two questions first before you mischaracterize disagreement in opinion as personal criticism - or can you?
Thank you MortMan! Just stay in to change the Party is all I am saying! I see you are a Gulf War vet - my question to you is - in the middle of the Gulf war - would you have just pulled up your weapons and walked out because you did not like what you saw? I know military - and they do not accept defeat - they may change course and strategies - but they stay in to win!
