the last word on stereotyping partisans

Having endured thirty years of suffering from political stereotyping first by Democrats who pegged me as the worst kind of Republican then for twenty years (post Reagan) as a fake Republican I don’t entirely disagree with Vic. I’ve caucused with the DFL for the last three election cycles. That entitles me to a new stereotyping regime.

I’ll give Vic the last word on this post:

Harry:

Your response reminds me of one of my friends who admits to liking to use hyperbole. I said to him that an undesirable quality to hyperbole is that motivation for its use is often to represent reality as thus exaggerated, which constitutes misrepresentation and dishonesty. I think that there is too much misrepresentation and dishonesty by us humans — especially in politics, which presumably involves subjects of substantial importance to the people in the society in which the politics occur. Bullshit might make the grass grow green, but I don’t think it is as beneficial to humans as it is to grass.
