| As an Australian who is new to American politics, I find it very difficult to debate an issue with someone who has already made their mind up that I'm a republican/democrat or whatever because of my opinion on one issue.
I'm not going to apologies because I believe in Universal health care or a tough stance on illegal immigrants or pulling out of Iraq, my views are mine because I've weighed up the information I had and made up my own mind. I don't need a politician or political party to tell me how I should think.
If someone has a view on a particular issue that differs from mine, I want to hear it, maybe they are right. |
