Really? Do you have an example?

"I didn't really think the war in Iraq would go very well, and I don't really support it; I just wanted to see what would happen."



Probably referring to giving money to candidates who have no chance of winning. Your bad faith example is ridiculous.


I couldn't think of a non-ridiculous example, so thanks for providing one. However, your bad faith assumption that I was commenting in bad faith is a dick move.



Supporting both parties is just support for the status quo, really, it doesn't really require opposing anything. Supporting individual candidates from both parties is even less suspicious.
