I don't like those ten for the things they have done, or
absences of doing when they could have done. Take you pick of
what things.
You are not worth the trouble to list what I have Mr.steve.
You saying I am partisan doesn't make it so. Producing some
evidence might do it. When are you going to back up your
statement I disagree with? So we can discuss it? This is a
discussion forum, after all.

So, where would you rank Sandra Korn on this list?

Don't read the Harvard Crimson, and never heard of her until
your posting. Not terribly impress about what she is being
credited for saying.
Biggest problem with both parties is they are not really doing
anything terribly bad, but are in bed with each other keeping
the political status quo and keeping each other in power.
Congress is at all time low approval ratings. The leadership in
Congress should have been replaced long ago, but the parties
determine who those people are and when they get those
positions. Reid, Pelosi, McConnell and Boehner all should be
replaced.
Parties don't want that to happen. I dislike the parties
controlling our government.

EC/Atouk is a liberal partisan.
He has more then proven that through his posts.
His saying he is not...... does not make it so.

No, I'm not.
You can't prove it.

What possible rational reason do you have for not believing that
I am what I say I am when you have no possible way to prove me
wrong?

Could it be that you worked for the UW and some how amassed
enough money to by Arkansas real estate? Does the UW hire
conservatives? Furthermore, is there any position you advocate
that isn't liberal? I think answering those three questions
would shed some light on the debate.

Would someone please, other than Atouk, define "liberal".
Would someone, other than Atouk, define "conservative".
Would someone, anyone, please explain how a person can be
"pro-life" and also be ok with engaging in war, or military
conflicts...whatever the label for such death and destruction.

Looking at the last part of your post I find myself asking, how
can somebody be "pro life" yet seem to want to use drones in
foreign countries without impunity?
How can somebody be "pro life" yet not think twice when it comes
to shooting a burglar that threatens themselves and their
family. It just doesn't make sense. ;)

Have you complained about overpaid state workers in the past,
and if so, how can you seriously ask this one?

I don't know, you would have to follow Shelia's request and
define things first. I have posted in the past the only active
party participation I have had in the past, a very distant past,
is with the Libertarian Party. If you label someone supporting
Libertarian ideals, like Rand Paul, you would be incorrect
calling them a liberal. I have only voted for the Libertarian
candidate for president, except in one election, and then I
voted for the Republican. I don't know how you label someone
like that a liberal.
I take it you have no rational reason for believing I am not
partisan.

Again, you would have to define what positions can only be
considered liberal. "Conservatives" believe in individual
liberty and freedom. They believe nothing should stand in the
way of a patient and the doctor treating the patient. There was
mild outrage when an MSNBC host said something to the effect
that a child belongs to the community.
HTML http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/04/09/critics-slam-msnbc-hosts-claim-that-kids-belong-to-community-not-parents/
“The notion that children belong to a state government rather
than their own flesh and blood is the most disturbing statement
made in recent political times. Melissa Harris-Perry is dead
wrong. It’s unfathomable that any true American could make such
a pretentious and naively ill statement,” media communications
expert, and parent, Angie Olszewski told FOX411’s Pop Tarts
column. “The government can’t properly run their own budgets
schools and public systems. Why would anybody think they could
rear children?”
The Media Research Center’s Director of Media Analysis, Tim
Graham, called the MSNBC spot "frightening.”
Until "conservatives" want the government to decide for an
individual about abortion.
So what is the "liberal"/"conservative" positions I have taken a
stand on that you are concerned about?
The religious employer/contraception in the health insurance
issue? Rational gun regulation? Could you post what you think
my position is on something, with examples of my postings that
support your thinking, and then I could possible confirm or
refute your belief.

My guess is this was not too satisfying to you. But your
questions need more detail. I don't start any reasoning I do on
things with what is the liberal/conservative position is on
anything, because I don't know that there is any common
agreement in society about what those two labels mean anymore.
Mostly, to the public, they mean Democrat/Republican. Call Sean
Hannity a Republican and he will tell you his is a Conservative.
But in New York, where he lives, there is an official
Conservative Party, and he is a registered member of it. I like
to think about issues from the standpoint of how it affects me
personally and the country and the world as a whole. I don't
know what the real agenda of either of the two major parties, so
I don't care to support either of them.
Labeling any policy that is the best thing for America as either
liberal or conservative is simply a distraction.
