I see nothing relevant with the Aaron Burr story, and it's not about politics being a blood sport or not.
It's about people like you and Joe, who seethe world as black and white and become obsessed, foregoing all rationality and reason, and judging everything based on caricatures and a letter in parentheses. That's why you function like you do.
All that you look for is that party affiliation. And you operate under this algorithm: "Is it (R)? We're good and here's a patriot to cheer for!!! Is it (D)? Boo, get out you fucking commie!!!"
Not true. I called out Rubio, W, Jeb, Boehner, McCain, W, Romney etc all the time
And why should I not utterly detest Obama? The man started his political career in the living of a domestic left wing terrorist who bombed the Pentagon, then proceeded to spend 20 years in a racist church a radical black liberation theologian and lied about it, pushes an agenda I find beyond revolting on all levels, and spends day and night attacking the things I support. Sorry - when that ghetto scumbag waste of life appointed Holder to be AG and tried moving KSW trial to GZ and then got behind the mosque - that was it for me. Obama has not so much as lifted a finger to try to assist the American people in any way or form.
I did not like George W either, and I resigned from the GOP in 2005.
Its not about party for me at all - I call out tons of repubs ALL THE TIME.
