One was about Obamascare which didn’t make a lick of sense and the other one by Rusty Wallace, who is in support of 12 U.S. senators who are pandering to the base of their party.<br /><br />Looking forward to LTTE number two.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-91648847999340404152013-08-23T09:54:00.639-05:002013-08-23T09:54:00.639-05:00Rusty Wallace, another LTTE guy, has apparently be...Rusty Wallace, another LTTE guy, has apparently been following another Congress.

People’s perception doesn’t necessarily coincide with what’s written in a dictionary. For example, in a heavily conservative town like Victoria it’s “neither you are a conservative or a liberal” because there’s no in between. You can say you don’t play that game but it’s like racial profiling, those people being profiling don’t want to play that game either. <br /> <br />With a person like Rosalie Sykora: I would accept her liberal definition of me because that’s all she knows.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-14187746573145046372013-08-23T00:09:02.209-05:002013-08-23T00:09:02.209-05:00Mike.

They will exaggerate our positions and blame it on what they believe to be our ideology. For example, some may think I would want to make a company build 100 miles east, rather than disturb a lone nest of Yellow-Billed Loons because they don’t factor in how far I will go…Other examples, are our difference on farm subsidies, public assistance or the EIC and we will debate those issues (in a civil way) because we are not bound by what some think a liberal position should be. …I admit, I may have called you a conservative once or twice because you didn’t toe the liberal line…:-)<br /><br />I can only speak for myself and that’s more than enough for me to handle. <br /><br />There's another train of thought: Those who always let everyone know that they are conservative.<br /><br />1..It could be code for those who say "I want my country back" or "he/she is not one of us.<br />2. They don’t want anyone to mistake them for a liberal.<br />3. Their dad was a conservative and they inherited that ideology.<br />4. They think it's some kind of nobility <br />5.
