Not to be judged by the color of my party, but the content of my character....?

Star for you. I am sick of people thinking that I promote violence and embrace racism because I am a conservative. I realize that I have fundamental political beliefs that differ from liberals, but my beliefs are methods on how we achieve an end goal. These goals, if we break them down are the same goals that liberals have. We all want the same thing, we just think we should achieve them in a different way. This does not make one side or the other unintelligent. The only thing that could reflect on someone's intellect, is when they argue in favor of previously failed policy hoping for a different outcome. There are members of both parties that are guilty of this.
