"A day is as a thousand years" is about perspective. Two hours on the highway, to a five year old, seems like an eternity! To a 50 year old trucker, it's just the start of a good morning

See, you just proved your ignorance again. At least your intellectual capacity is up to IHOP standards.
Good thing you don't have a job where it's important to believe 100% in something that can actually save lives. For God's sake "Doc", never become a surgeon.
You go too far. I have followed the thread and it seems to me a difference of opinion, not ignorance. You might also consider not taking God’s name in vain.

Don't lecture me K, I did not take God's name in vain.
There is NO difference of opinion available. Something is either true or it isn't. You don't murder someone else because someone did evil to you.

Some people simply aren't interested in making friends, even if it's for a mutual cause.

"What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme, and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason." - Voltaire

What good would it do to villify someone who agrees with you for the most part but has certain exceptions? You don't browbeat people into 100% agreement.

Maybe not, but you certainly can't stand with them in the "cause". You must oppose them.

If you've read this thread in its entirety, you would know the answer to that.
And I'm not running for office either.
OK, I have now read every word that you have said in this thread, but it is not apparent to me what you said that addresses my question. Perhaps you could give me a post number, that you feel answers it.
The truth is I don't believe ARTL has been as nasty as all that. The truth needs to be pointed out, and you have to find a way to make people see it.

Nobody expects 100% agreement on every issue, that would be silly.
However, there are issues that are deal breakers even if that issue is the only issue you disagree with. At this point I think it's healthy to be exploring all angles of every issue. 2012 is a long way off.

I certainly agree that it would be good if one to be elected is 100% on the conviction, yet suppose you have a conservative who is not 100% and a liberal who is 100% in the other direction? Do you not vote for the conservative? If you do vote for the conservative you knock out one liberal vote, but if you abstain, you allow the liberal to his or her vote.
Now is you insist that our candidate is 100% this is a different issue, as you can insist on a 100% conviction, you can make it clear that you will not vote for one who is not 100%. I agree with that.
On the other hand, if you have only two choices and neither is ideal, but one far better than the other, then it makes sense to, in essence, to vote against the liberal.
Further, you can abstain and it does have merit; frankly I might do this, but in the past, I saw it more logical to choose the lesser of two evils, or is that weasels?
