But that is not what generally happens, or what happened with the exchange between me, and EV.
What he did, and almost always does, is to launch directly into a personal attack.
A person can take that is one of two ways. You can respond in kind, or you can blow it off with a bit of sarcasm and humor.
It is usually the case that sarcasm and humor are taken as personal by anyone who is so wrapped up in their own personae that everything to them is personal and rational discussion is unwanted and rejected in favor of a spitting contest. This is the case with EV and most blind activists on both the liberal and conservative side. In fact, you cannot tell the difference between them if you did not know something about the individual.
This is the disease that is damaging the coalition, and I have come to the conclusion that it will not be cured without some pain to the party.
Either it stops, or the GOP with collapse from within without any assistance from the Dems.
You know it, I know it, we all suspected it and now it is happening.
Either this party gets along with it's own membership, or we will have to dismantle the base. It is obvious to anyone who cares, and has been repeated many times over the past three years and in previous election cycles.
The warning was issued, the dire predictions were made, and now the reality of it will occur. I don't think anyone on the conservative side has ever had any inclination to stop it, so the blame is easy to place.
Of course it is, for you, as I've predicted it would be all along.
The blame could never be with leaders who ignore conservative principles and treat the conservative base with arrogant disdain. /s
You are so full of yourself that you can't even see when someone isn't arguing with you.
Far from disagreeing with at least part of your analysis, I was seeking to confirm that my suspicions were right that the mushy middle of the Republican Party wants to shed the conservatives because the middle only cares about retaining power and cares not about principle. And you confirmed it.
However, that is where our agreement ends. The truth is that if we don't shed you and your ilk (by becoming a party of principle and only taking one side of an issue) we will be doomed to socialism sooner rather than later. You will give up everything in principle to remain in power in fact.
How does that distinquish you from the Dems?
