Hey !! It's your post.
You tell us.
It has been asserted here that the only possible reason to oppose the current aid proposal to Ukraine is that you are an obstuctionist.
I suspect that that is not the case, but I have come with an open mind.
If the thread had been something like "GOP opposed aid package to Ukraine - I disagree with their assessment", then the topic would be very different and the only conversation would be whether or not this aid package was a good idea or not. But since it has been brought up as obstructionism, that substantially changes the conversation.
It is my experience that intelligent people have differing opinions on almost any subject of sufficient complexity. For this current issue, I could find myself think something like "I think this aid package is a good idea, but I can see how someone might disagree". In general, I don't automatically presume that anyone who disagrees with me is doing so in bad faith.
So to me, that seems to be the point of this thread, that disagreements to the aid package cannot be done it good faith. Based on other comments directed at me so far, it seems I have correctly divined the point of this thread. The debate about the package itself can hardly be even started without discussing this first important point. As for me, I am not in congress and hence I have no vote, so it hardly matters what I think about the specific content of the aid package. But at this point, I am strongly of the opinion that it is something of which honest men can disagree.
You say it is my post, this is what I want to do with my post. I want to request that those who can't imagine any possible reason to oppose the current aid package to Ukraine to explain to me why they think that no one could do so in good faith.
