Well, you've set me off. The difference between Repubs and Dems is that Republicans will openly bash you instead of being nice then stabbing you in the back in order to get what they want, like the Dems.
I'd much rather have a guy look me in the eye and tell me I'm an idiot than someone who lies to my face.
