More double standars or less of the real story?

I often wonder how people would think and answer on their own on this forum just using logical thinking and an attempt to hear what the other person is saying. There is so much anger, and so much posturing and so much bullying that a lot of people who are interested in how this country is run just stay away.

But...that's politics.

Gracie, are we to reach these logical conclusions without reading?

If that's not what you meant, do you have a list of the media outlets that are "approved" for research?

You have to know that one person's Bill O'Reilly is another person's Lawrence O'Donnell

If someone has an opinion and has reached a conclusion, and then you disagree with that conclusion and the person doesn't yield and still emphatically defends his position, is that bullying?

Gracie, you are the sweetest person in the world, but politics is not always an easy issue to discuss in sweet decorum. All you have to do is watch any of the political "talking head" programs on TV and we begin to look rather tame in here.

More double standars or less of the real story?
