Sort of like Cheney reading into CIA reports and ignoring items in it to start the Iraq war...

We read more into questions than you'd like - you idiots ask questions like "should be have tax cuts or should we reduce the deficit" and we point out that tax REVENUE has SKYROCKETED since the tax cuts were put into effect, despite the fact that all other policy is neutral or restrictive.

There has been actual research on that question and they discover that as a group they:
* Make many incorrect inferences from evidence.
* Hold contradictory ideas leading them to ‘speak out of both sides of their mouths.’
* Uncritically accept that many problems are ‘our most serious problem.’
* Uncritically accept insufficient evidence that supports their beliefs.
* Uncritically trust people who tell them what they want to hear.
* Use many double standards in their thinking and judgements
* Be dogmatic.
* Be zealots.
* Be hypocrites.
* Be absolutists
* Be bullies when they have power over others.
* Help cause and inflame intergroup conflict.
* Seek dominance over others by being competitive and destructive in situations requiring cooperation.
* Believe they have no personal failings.
* Avoid learning about their personal failings.
* Be highly self-righteous.
* Use religion to erase guilt over their acts and to maintain their self-righteousness.

Oh yes, us NEOS are the only one guilty of that! What a hypocrite you are. Libs are just as guilty if not worse. With you it's like listening to a bad sportscast. 'but', 'if', 'what if'... no good news can come out without one of these words being used to describe the 'possibilities' that are always right around the corner. No logical question can be asked without it becoming a bash because you CAN'T answer the question.

I think that most repubs read the Headlines, and make up the rest of the story. Like the 9/11 deal. We could see it happen before our eyes, the Bush admin made up the rest of the story ie, it was Saddam.

Listen to 5 minutes of Rush Limbaugh (if you can stomach it) and you'll understand why die-hard conservatives are screwed up.

I always read entire questions. You libs are the ones that seem to not read the question and reply with absurd answers.

No, we read what is written, it's the libs that misconstrue some of the easiest statements, reports, etc.

Seems like they're very prickly, don't they?
