Reply #9: My thoughts

[grendel2000]

I have a family member who is staunchly supportive of the left while I am a lifelong conservative. I've read a number of posts here and many seem to be aligned closely with her way of thinking. While very passionate in her beliefs, she is not comfortable with debate(which I don't hold against her). I'm looking for the truth and some insight into the arguments made by the left, and was wondering if that sort of conversation would be tolerated here.

I am a Bush supporter, and am not looking to change necessarily, but I believe that if you cannot defend your argument, you must look at the alternative. In that spirit, I'd like to know what you all have to say. I'm certainly not saying I'll agree with you, but I would love to at least have the conversation.
