Re: Find Dem Party posturing, squirming very offensive

What exactly are the democrats doing? It seems not only most Americans but in fact most human beings are against the US surge of troops. What a great argument. Call anyone that disagrees with you unintelligent.

I have voted for Democrats in the past. However, I do not feel I can no longer do that after the past three or four years. Based on what I have witnessed, I do not see how I will ever be able to vote for another Democrat.
No mention of what was witnessed. Just a vague statement.

It is no wonder (to me) Lieberman is seriously hinting at switching to the Republican party. He has always been a conservative at heart solely for the reason that he does not engage in or condone the self-serving (to only themselves) politics of of the far-left kook faction of the Dem Party. I do not take these people seriously (or respect their views) because they do not take themselves seriously beyond there personal collective "wants" that have nothing at all to do with real problem solving.
Problem solving? Lets talk about REAL problem solving. REAL problem solving is what this President didn't do before he invaded Iraq. Yet the lack of problem solving by dems is driving you to the GOP? Problem solving requires a realistic view of all possible outcomes.
1. there is no guarantee that the surge will stop the violence.
2. There is no guarantee that the surge will increase the violence
3. There is no guarantee that removing US troops will stop the violence
4. There is no guarantee that removing US troops will increase the violence.
On what critical thinking criteria does this idiot suggest that one solution is problem solving and the other one isn't?
Quote:They do not understand the concept (and the fact of the matter) that America has problems, but that America is not the problem. To watch them bash every aspect of the American social fabric solely for desperately longed for political power disgusts me to no end.
America has problems. That does not equate to America is not responsible in some way for any of those problems anymore than it equates to America is the cause of all the problems. A complete lack of critical thinking or problem solving is shown in making a statement that seems to absolve the US from any cause in the problems we now face.
Let's look at the outcome of this thinking....
1. America has a problem with troops in Iraq.
2. America is not responsible for having the troops in Iraq.
Do you agree or disagree that America has no responsibility for the troops in Iraq?

I have lost all respect for the Democratic Party -- that is the little bit of respect that I still was able to hang onto -- because they themselves have insisted I do so. Too bad that their far-left kook wing is now ruining the Democratic Party, and I doubt that they (the Dem party at large) will be ever be able to recover from where they have let themselves be led to and from what the party as a whole become.
An ad hominem with nothing to support it.
I agree the ad hominem is sad
Quote: And as it stands now, I doubt that I will ever again be able to vote for even one single Democrat politician. In other words, I think Lieberman SHOULD consider switching parties, because this sincere and trustworty man needs to do this in order to retain personal and political legitimacy.

A conclusion not based on much critical thinking at all when it is examined. It hardly leads to this person being sincere and trustworthy. It leads to the conclusion he doesn't have any critical thinking skills at all.
How about you criticalthinking? Do you find value in his statement? Tell us where you think he exhibited any critical thinking skills.
