Oh so nothing before the obamaphillic thin skiinned insect posts? I thought I'd done something before that perhaps. What I was trying to get across was the fact that you seem to argue the idea that emotion is not a good way to choose a candidate (please correct me if I'm wrong- but that is what I took away from your posts)- and so calling people "Obamaphillic" appears to be denigrating people whose choice you do not appreciate by calling them basically "emotional lovers" of their candidate- for I'm sure we agree that love is emotional. Thus when you, yourself, said it would not bother you to be called Bushophillic, that appeared to conflict with your already stated idea that your appreciation for Bush was logical. If you were insincere there would be no point in mentioning the contradiction- since people who are insincere could believe anything. I'm not clear on how that is patronizing or questioning of your sincerity. It was rather because I believed you were sincere that I mentioned it- because I thought it would get the point across- in that since you prefer to be logical about your candidate you would be able to imagine other people would feel the same way. I can't imagine how it was patronizing. Maybe you can explain that?
