Is there any end to the "purity" that so many liberals demand?  

Vince Vaughn is openly Libertarian and friends with Ron and Rand Paul.  Vince has spoken at Libertarian events.

I couldn't have cared less who shook Obama's hand as I only cared if they adopted some of his stupid policies like Ocare.

Like when Matt Gaetz and others questioned Trump for the first time over Iran and were vilified by the right.
You're a hypocrite, GaGa.

William F Buckley observed that long ago “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

Bernie Goldberg tells the story in his book "Bias" what a CBS news correspondent said to him just after the 1984 presidential election:

Not to mention Matt Gaetz is a POLITICIAN, who put out an opinion and got pushback for it.  

Just how does the fact that Gaetz is a politician make the comparison wrong? You give an example of the left going after someone who "steps out of line" and I give an example from the right. Only an idiot like YOU would make your argument. And it happens ALL THE TIME with the right, whether it's politicians or not.
So that makes you an IDIOT AND a Hypocrite.

Matt Gaetz took on the POTUS and got pushback from other Republicans. Vince Vaughn had a 30 second conversation that could have been simply about the game for all we know, and Lefties are calling for boycotts against him?

And you FAIL to see you didn't even make your own case. But you think simply asserting you DO is the same as actually making your case. It ain't.  Also, I don't rest my case just on Gaetz because there are others as well, such as Tucker Carlson, who was also vilified. And he's not a politician.
Now tell me why anyone should care if you have "ZERO desire to debate this further?" But go ahead and flounce off like Lady GaGa would.
No one else is buying what you're selling either. Hypocrite.

Interestingly both Vince and Ellen could do this ...

candiates you could POSSIBLY vote for in Nov?......Bloomberg perhaps???, he's no liberal, but a moderate....You could vote for him right?

Yes, of course he's a liberal, but the goal posts have moved so far that he is the only candidate on your side that I think this country could survive. He is only a moderate because everyone else in your party is left of Castro or Maduro. Even WillyfuckingWonka has seen them for what they are.

People like Susan Collins and Mitt Romney are called "moderates" when in fact they are pretty far right....Susan Collins votes for practically ALL of the current president's judicial and executive nominees....

Supposedly that's attributed to Pauline Kael, film critic for The New Yorker, about Nixon.  The only record of something from her like that quote was this:  “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.”  The fake quote is probably a pretty good summary of her longer version, though.

"Moderate" is a smuggle word.  If you hear someone talking about moderates, they are trying to smuggle in some bogus reference point.

Good catch souls!

posts.  Civility is not even close to a priority of yours.  Nice troll though.  You are quite skilled at getting some to chase the bait.

I'm wondering if that's the case because of the number of stupid ass posts from the user "Laffy" and "iNicky".  I have both on ignore, and I kid you note, 90% of the threads on P and R show "Ignore" on the listing page. Its quite startling to see how much crap there is on here.  

how all posts from the right are; honest, bipartisan, inclusive, and altruistic.  How do you think we can get the left to see things from our point of view?

True, very true. And the obvious fact is both sides keep pointing at each other for doing the same thing.

hot seat right now.  The side that is in the hot seat is failing miserably in so many ways, yet deflecting attention elsewhere as to avoid confronting the difficult decisions they are paid to deal with.

The House of Representatives is most definitely in the hot seat this election cycle, they will have to answer to the voters this fall and explain why they squandered the majority they won in 2018 trying to undo the election of 2016.  I predict the voters will realize the mistake they made in 2018 and fix things in 2020.

Please stop trying to confuse him with the facts.  He has already made up his mind.  Remember, this is the same guy who supports just about every democratic party ideal; women's right to choose, gay marriage, etc, etc, etc.  He even mentions Trump is a blowhard and he hates Trump's lack of a spine.  

but please tell me what you think I am lying about.  I am on record with dozens if not hundreds of posts where I support a woman's right to choose, gay marriage etc etc etc, What I did NOT say was that Trump has a "lack of a spine" that is something I NEVER said and I defy you to find a single post where I said that. As for Trump being a blowhard, all politicians are blowhards and I while I really don't remember saying the words "Trump is a blowhard" that is something I very well might have said.

Doubt "the only thing they care about is more money in their pockets."  If that were true, they are even more misguided than you thought.  Trump being president does NOT equal more money in anyone's pocket unless they are very, very, affluent.  Am betting not one TER user is up there with Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet no matter what they profess as they hide behind their online persona.  Could those making this claim, not be making more money because of Trump, but lack the intellect to know any better?
