The only real difference is YOU don't like Pelosi, Ellison and Obama. And why should I base my likes and dislikes on your purely subjective judgements, based on your political opinions, which are by definition also purely subjective judgements? Why should anyone? A lot of people voted for Pelosi and Obama--more than once. They have some legitimacy, even if it turns out later to be misplaced or in error. Your biases and opinions are just that. They do not rate a citation. They don't mean shit to a tree.
You seem to think your opinions about people and ideas carry some additional weight that others cannot bring to theirs. And you seem to get very sensitive when others don't seem to share those opinions. You're not just saying people are mistaken, you're telling them they are not even entitled to be mistaken. That is arrogance, moral and intellectual hubris of the highest order. Its not exactly an attitude that tends to generate a sympathetic hearing.
That's why in the areas of politics and economics, your opinions have no value. They are worthless, not because they are necessarily wrong, but solely because they are yours. It's not so much that your beliefs are mistaken, its that you cannot even visualize anyone thinking differently than you do, unless, of course, they are either scoundrels or fools. That's an attitude not likely to get you a sympatheic ear either.
