Search Results: girlfriend present

I am a conservative. I don't think liberals are evil or stupid. I do think that they have made some judgments and some assumptions with which I disagree. When I consider the merits of a particular candidate, I try to be objective but I must admit that my conservative values cause me to be biased. I don't see the flaws in a conservative candidate as readily as I see the flaws in a liberal candidate.

That doesn't mean that I think all liberals are bad, mistaken, flawed individuals. My girlfriend for the past 17 months is a strong liberal and I think she is a wonderful person. There are some liberal political figures who I hold in very high esteem, even though I disagree with their politics. Jimmy Carter and Joe Lieberman are two examples.

The present election certainly has all of us extremely polarized and in constant attack mode. (What will we talk about on G@G after the election?) Can you take a moment, step back, and ask yourself, "Does my allegiance to the Democrat or Republican party cause me to be biased in my opinions about candidates?"
