The basis on which I operate? You've picked up some pleasant allies, I see. K, the master of "substantive debate", as well as JLA. I see you haven't chosen to engage V on the subject of party affiliation, as in
Political party affiliation has little or nothing to do with values.
Compared to your earnest statement
Isn't it obvious to you that the decision to belong to a political party, or a religious group, should be based on your personal values, and not on how favorable it will be to your career?
As to Ruth's earnest little piece, I'd say it's quite one sided. The Democrats are all partisan, and the Republicans are engaged in an impartial search for truth and justice. If you wish. As I said, you have picked up some substantial allies on that point of view. If you think they represent "the thread", that's your choice. Personally, I think it's all politics, and I've said so all along. |
