      I’m not gay.

      I’m not buying wedding cakes.

      I’m not adopting.

      CIS WASPs already own politics.

      Yet here I am, liberal.

      It is possible to care about other people and their problems without those problems being yours as well.

            I’m trying to get you to see that the nature of the reasons are not what the selfishness was in reference to but rather their scope of caring. A hard right republican woman can think that she deserves to have an abortion herself but if she doesn’t care if that extends to others then she is selfish. If the percentage that mellow was talking about are only liberal because the issues listed impact them then that does kinda seem selfish. It is not a commentary at all about the rightness or wrongness of those issues.

              Trying to get me to see…?

              Then you should she stated your case and avoided trying to be clever by asking the same question twice in some bizarre effort at a philosophical take, to what…make yourself appear smarter? To a question you’ve already answered for yourself? Ridiculous.
