This is an interesting article and it explains so much.

Apparently refusing to accept facts has a lot to do without self-esteem. Interesting......

The work of pollsters = a psychological study of self esteem. Interesting all right, if you like fiction.

Whatever....

I'm not sure how I posted that link - this is the direct link to the information.

For what it's worth. I think it fits precisely with what I see in the political arena.

That's nice. As psychological studies go, this isn't one. Anyway, I remember blaming Bush for gas prices just as much as I blame Obama for gas prices. Looks like I agree: whatever.

Well then - if you felt Bush was responsible for high gas prices - then it must be that all Republicans felt that way. Sheesh!

How insightful. So much for "debate".

:::::shaking head::::: amazing....

Is this article hitting a little too close to home for you Compost?

You debate? Snide, demeaning comments are not what comprises debate.

Compost 05/14/2012

Uh huh. Like you say, "sheesh". Good bye.
