22. I completely understand those who feel that they can't be friends
with a Republican. But it's also true that someone's professed party affiliation doesn't necessarily mean that they vote that way. Example: I have a friend who's a Republican, but he voted for Nader! Inexplicable, but true. No doubt he had his reasons. The important thing is that I can talk politics with him; he knows a lot of history and we can discuss things and maintain our respect for each other.
But I feel the same way about dittoheads and others of that ilk: they're not going to change their minds based on anything I say to them, and they're getting off on their little rocket ride of hate, so I just can't be bothered giving them the time of day.
