Perhaps it is my being careful around what I perceive to be a hot-button topic that is perceived as being disingenuous, and makes people so mad?

Perhaps. I find it unlikely, personally, but I'm hardly an expert.

I find this idea interesting.

Do you? Why?

I can't believe that a topic called "why republicans generally profess more incorrect viewpoints than democrats" would actually be well received at all, no matter how truthful or well-written.

I agree that a topic titled that would be poorly received, and would have to be exceptionally well constructed to be considered valuable. I think there are people who could write such a post, were they motivated to... Yvain comes to mind... but I don't think I could, and I don't think you could.
