I will make the financial sacrifice for the good of the country.  

I'm a Republican more than a Democrat.  But to me, the biggest issue in this campaign is that we have the most dishonest and ignorant President in the history of this country, a man who also has a severe personality disorder, and we have to get him out of there.

That's my position.  I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole with you guys into a 50 page argument.  It does no good, anyway, because none of you guys are going to change your mind.

It's about way more than just taxes. Surely you know that. 

But go ahead, stick your fingers in your ears and start singing.

I'll keep reading and occasionally posting, but I'm not going to waste my energy on a 50 page argument that accomplishes nothing.  

Surely you will admit, no one on this message board ever changes their mind about anything as a result of these arguments.  These arguments only serve one purpose- practicing refuting the arguments posed by the other side.  It's a little game.  A thread ends, hit reset, start another game.  No one ever wins.  

I learned something a long time ago.  The best way to change anyone's mind is to state your position and then let it go.  An argument is the worst way to change anyone's mind.  But I don't think that's what you guys are really after.  I think you're just in it for the sport.
