It seems to me also that deciding whether their inconsistency is significant or not is also in alignment with an individual poster's partisan leanings. With hypocrisy seemingly existing only in the eye of the beholder, it is unsurprising that politics has grown so divisive.

As for your analogy: you're correct, I did not address it. I view analogy to be a weak form of argument, at least in most cases. If you have a point, you can usually just make it directly to greater effect. I only respond to points of discussion that interest me, which I realize is an indulgence. If I don't respond to a post or a point, I won't tell people that their point is disinteresting, I will simply move past it. I know from your posts on here that you don't fall into the regular emotional traps that are more the rule than the exception in threads like this, so I felt a quick explanation was warranted.
