"Have you ever disagreed with the administration here on DU?"

...what difference does it make? I mean, I have voiced disagreement on an issue or a choice, and then I continue supporting the President.

There are others who express nothing but disagreement, and they still went out and voted for him.

So what's the point of the litmus test? I'm here because I enjoy debating the issues with others who support Democrats, and the opinions vary. Why does it matter who holds what opinion or why? Make your case.

What if there is someone here whose sole purpose is to counter Democrats, would you know? I don't care, and I would simply debate any argument that runs counter to my opinion. It doesn't matter, make your case.

Trying to dismiss an opinion as the in line with the administration is not an argument. If you disagree with any argument, you should be able to refute it, and there will be time when you have to agree to disagree.

You think supporting the President is the only reason to reject hypocrisy and idiocy? ProSense Sep 2013 #5

I think that's YOUR motivation for virtually everything you post here cali Sep 2013 #8

Again, does supporting the President mean one can't reject hypocrisy and idiocy? n/t ProSense Sep 2013 #11

Do you support the President implicitly? R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2013 #20

As a progressive I have no problem with agreeing with the Pauls that a Syrian intervention is a bad totodeinhere Sep 2013 #37

What you're doing here is drawing a binary. I'm opposed to intervention in Syria and IDGAF about Erose999 Sep 2013 #50

And what you're doing is ProSense Sep 2013 #52

I was opposed to striking Libya too. And yeah, NeoLib Obama was all too happy to bomb Libya too. Erose999 Sep 2013 #58
