Disagree with someone on the right and he is likely to think you obtuse, wrong, foolish, a dope. Disagree with someone on the left and he is more likely to think you selfish, a sell-out, insensitive, possibly evil.
My parents are Republicans, and I'm not.
On some issues, Republicans and Democrats disagree so sharply that compromise is nearly impossible. Republicans are not going to support a cap-and-trade program to limit greenhouse gases, and Democrats won't support a 1,000-mile wall on the border with Mexico.
I do not respect Trump supporters, but I believe in being fair to them.
I don't want to bash Bill and Hillary, because they're friends of mine, but I do have a difference of opinion about how to take back the House and the Senate.
I don't feel burdened, but I do feel a little frustrated. Because I see the problem, and I can see the solution - but there are two strongly different points of view on this - like the Republicans and Democrats.
Informed opponents of Obama's healthcare initiative have expressed dismay at the low level of discourse.
When Congress and the general public disagree simply along party lines, the Russians are winning.
I think we need to address greenhouse gas emissions. But I try to get involved in issues where I see a legislative result... So I just leave the issue alone because I don't see a way through it, and there are certain fundamentals, for example nuke power, that people on the left will never agree with me on. So why should I waste my time when I know the people on the left are going to reject nuclear power?
Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime. I certainly can't vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions.
It would be very difficult for me to stay in a marriage with a Republican at this point. Not that there's anything wrong with Republicans, but I happen to be a Democrat.
If Democrats oppose a border wall, they're just saying they want continued, unendingly illegal immigration.
When you have... bipartisan support, it shouldn't devolve into a bipartisan fight.
Anyone who doesn't agree with the Left's approach to immigration oftentimes gets stigmatized as anti-immigrant or anti-Hispanic.
The Republicans were not always insane. They might've had politics I didn't agree with, but they weren't always actually certifiable.
I am all in favor of pay equity for women, but this kind of legislation, as is typical of what's being proposed by my friends on the other side of the aisle, opens us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems.
Net neutrality isn't a government takeover of the Internet, as many of my Republican colleagues have alleged.
As long as Republicans won't - won't raise taxes and as long as Democrats won't in any way make entitlements based on need, rather than just across the board, I really think that we're doomed to this deadlock.
Unfortunately, Democrats don't want to wage a war on poverty or improve program integrity; they prefer talking points.
When I supported the stimulus package, I knew that it would not be popular with the Republican Party.
