Gullibility is not an asset in politics, my FRiend. Thank you for walking into my trap - I knew you'd come back with some flapdoodle like that. So let me help you out "FRiend."
To have a healthy cynicism is healthy - I and almost everybody on FR has a healthy cynicism. But to be totally cynical about everything all the time is a cancerous obsession and something that only embitters those who hold to it. Seek treatment. Not only that, it takes only a small IQ to always knee jerk react. It takes a larger IQ to put things in proper perspective. Do the math dude.
Now to your other point, the notion that there are two ways and two ways only to go here - your total all out cynicism about everything, or "gullability" - is a straw argument false choice - the way liberals have to argue everything.
I am far from gullible - I have a healthy cynicism. You have an unhealthy obsession. Game, set, match.

Reread my original post to you.
I am all-in for Tea-Party conservatives.
For those who are truly my 80% Friend/20% Enemy on the issues (with the exception of Amnesty, Abortion, and the Gay Agenda) I will praise them when they are right and take them to task when they are wrong.
For everyone else, who truly cannot be trusted, I will take them to task every chance I get and work for their political defeat.
Sadly, I don't think you are in the same camp.
