Yeah, it's obvious you seem to ascribe honesty to anyone who appears to be middle of the road. Without saying, many of us believe one side is far more honest in all respects than the other. It IS possible for a side to be right and a side to be utterly and completely wrong.
If you really believe that's what I think then I've done a poor job in explaining my position. In no way shape or form do I believe being middle of the road is more honest than any other position.
What I believe is admitting your parties mistakes, or your candidates mistakes. Aren't we all working for the same goal?
For instance, I'm a fan of McCain's yet I was disappointed to learn that he voted to give illegal aliens social security benefits. In my opinion it's a mistake and I'm not happy he voted for it. Since I'm not tied to Republcan dogma I can openly question him without feeling like I'm betraying my party.
Why can't Liberals admit when the Democrats make mistakes and why can't Conservatives admit when the Republicans make mistakes. As a nation we are so divided by party that in my opinion it obscures us from seeing the whole point of all this.
At least in my opinion having two parties that have such an ingrained dislike for one another has hurt the greater good. There are great minds and great thinkers in both parties. In my opinion they should be working together rather than battling against the opposing party.
