Thanks Slatten. Great article. I was actually telling a friend what hypocrites both sides are last night. The right condemned Clinton morally for having a multitude of affairs and gives Trump a pass. Likewise the left gave Clinton a pass and condemns Trump. condem

Thanks, 'J.' I found it well worth posting. However, the length of the article prevented my posting its full context. I only hope our fellow OPPers will take the time to read the author's complete message. Partisan hypocrisy is once again dominating my thoughts.

You are on a roll today!! Second thread I’ve read the articles and find agreement...

You are spreading the “ love” and doing a great job in your messages today.. If only we could be smart enough or perhaps strong enough to look at the plight of party intent to devide and conquer and simply say no, not anymore will you seek to create divisions of us..

However that one aspect of emotion over rides and as is evident in here we see an absolute need to be right. Or “win” the debate... I’ve read posts from some in here that are so stubborn in mindset they will use words like, I win your wrong or you are so wrong you know nothing or you will never convince me blah, blah, blah.. The scoring points, as you say, is their entire premise..In that approach we learn nothing of the topic in debate but plenty about our own “stubborn attitude”.. At least some do, the majority do not.. Sad....

True~~ how easy it is to argue he/she did the same as so and so and that is to somehow change the facts.. Two wrongs never make a right yet we use the excuse of the other party did it as a means to dismiss it all...

Aren’t we caddy!!! And I would be lying not to say I have done the very same..

“Partisan hypocrisy is once again dominating my thoughts...”~~ If we could all consider this one fact when debating we may well get past the partisan BS and get on to the real issues..

Something the government needs to do so desperately!!! Tired of all of them fighting to try and prove who is right or better I wish they would all shut up and get to handling the affairs of the country!!!

I actually wrote Trump and every Congressman that I have emails for telling them the same thing and demanding they allow formation of a true Independant alliance on the ticket as a recognized alternative with all the same rights of the two party system that is fractured!! I know it won’t go anywhere but did it anyway..
