Do you support or oppose Obama's nominee for surgeon general?

40. Firstly, self-appointed political officers do not deserve, (and will not get) any respect...

...from me. That description includes both you and the poster I replied to.

Secondly, support for gun control is hardly a marker for progressivism- see William Bennett,
Richard Nixon, Michael Bloomberg, Rudy Giulani.

Thirdly, your second-to-last paragraph is factually inaccurate:

it's bad enough you post the way you do about guns, but that you feel like the victim of severe repression must mean that you want the freedom to post without getting criticized. yet you criticize the rest of us --for posting the Democratic position on MOST issues!

Criticize away, it neither steals my purse nor breaks my leg. And if you'd bothered to
examine my posts over the last eight years, you would have noticed that I support
*marriage equality, *the ACLU, *the Electronic Frontier Foundation, *ADAPT:

*Unions (I'm an SEIU member), and *Senator Elizabeth Warren (MY Senator, I'm proud to
say) and her fight against banksters.

But due to my positions on gun ownership, I am deemed 'right wing'. Feh!

I only criticize those who demand automatic approval of a lightweight apparently
because the NRA dislikes him, along with those who are upset that some
have the temerity to question Murthy's appontment.

Look at the Gungeon version of this poll:

Note the number of posters unable (or unwilling) to cogently state their reasons for
their approval of Murthy...
