This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No intention to mislabel the party. by Jfs86
Just think of it as Republicans and Democrats. That was what auto complete offered.
My point is to counter the view of Sprack and others. Are not morally obligated to vote for Democrats. We do not have to refuse to vote for all Republicans.
Fifty years ago there were pro abortion Democrats and Republicans. There were pro Life people from both parties. The Church has been consistently anti abortion. I support that position. The government has used SWAT teams to arrest some supporters.
That is not a strong endorsement of compromise.
