Family, friends, colleagues, people I meet socially - virtually all Dems.

Recently I've been wondering - if I believe partisanship is one of our biggest issues, would it be "righteous" to switch sides to play devil's advocate?”

Mikesez wrote a really self-aware article there. He just didn't admit that he's been playing DA for several years already.

I don't see liberal opinions as the devil.  I sometimes agree with them, but often don't agree.  You're the ones who see them as devilish.  The term "devil's advocate" can imply that a person is being insincere.  I'm usually sincere.  

I'm just trying to talk you off the ledge so you simply say, "that liberal's opinion is incorrect and will hurt our economy," instead of, "that liberal's opinion will take your job, rape your wife, and teach your children to hate you."  

I just want a world with less hyperbole and less hate.
