Maybe we do want someone who thinks with an open mind and has the ability to change their opinion in the face of facts. I'll admit the truth of your statement if you admit that "Stubborness and Blind Faith in Tradition and Accepted Wisdom are qualities every Conservative wants in a candidate."

The notion that someone felt one way, then found out they had been lied to and cheated and that their son was killed for a bunch of lies, then that person's feelings changing, well, that is all a little too nuanced for his limited imagination. For Alan S., if you feel one way about something, you must never, ever, under any circumstances, change that feeling. Otherwise you might appear to have a brain in your hollow noggin. He wouldn't want people to think he had a brain. He might lose his place in the chickenhawk marching band.DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182965443810437028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9648510.post-1123674405258300842005-08-10T07:46:00.000-04:002005-08-10T07:46:00.000-04:00Alan, Even if she did commit the conservatives' ca...Alan, Even if she did commit the conservatives' cardinal sin of "flip-flopping" on the war because of the overwhelming evidence that the evidence was cooked <I>(and I think the evidence shows that she didn't, but if she did)</I>, does this make her feelings any less real. Does the ability to think and feel and change your mind make your thoughts and opinions less valid than those of someone who never changes his stupid stubborn ideas and accepted wisdom even in the face of overwhelming evidence about, say, evolution? or the lack of flower tossing and kiss throwing among conquered Iraqis?True Blue Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304569696691885677noreply@blogger.com
