The difference for me, and most of the liberal people I know, is that we would be right there with you if you found some liberal behaving in a equally stupid manner.
Conservatives seem to have some kind of unspoken rule to never, ever criticize one another in public unless forced to.
It's a "team mentality". Loyalty above everything else, or something like that.
I don't know about all of that. When Clinton was taking fire for his sex scandal, first it was deny, deny, deny, "
Bill would never do such a thing." Then once he was caught beyond any reasonable doubt the tactic changed to minimizing what actually happened.
"Whatever, America is so lame. In Europe sex is no big deal." Rrrrrrright, I'm sure those were Hilary's sentiments too. Its "just" sex.
Even though I mainatin a more Conservative view, I think both parties are a bit ridiculous, only because its caused such a deep rift in the fiber of the country. Its more about, as you said, being loyal to the party than it is about doing the right thing no matter what. Its the reason why I'm a registered Independent. Screw political parties. All I care about is voting for the Cabinet that will benefit the United States and by extension, the World, by making sound decisions. Unfortunately, the way the voting system is set up, you can't just vote for man, you have to vote with their political affiliations and all its baggage.
