One thing that does piss me off about partisanship is someone so blinded by their affiliation that they can see no room for criticism. I will never understand party affiliation. Why such devotion to a party that you can admit no wrong or worse, admit that the other can do no right? I know that that is a blanket statement and that not everyone is like that, but you know what I speak of.
Myself, for example, used to support the Liberal party here in Canada. At that time I liked what they stood for more than any other party and what they seemed to be working towards. When all of that ended up in lies and scandal, I changed the party I supported. And if that party goes in a direction I do not like, then I will re-evaluate again.
I know that that is a lot harder for Americans in a two party system and you have to pick the lesser of two evils, but to wholly support every single thing anyone in your does and laud nothing the other does defies common sense to me.
