I have been here longer than you have JOG baby ...
And yes you do say that in the last 5 years when Bushies get implicated in something ...
But seeing as we once showed this forum is 91% republican I dont see many who would disagree with you ...
Being popular doens't always mean you're telling the truth ... you should know that.
I'll Bet, webby, Dane, Pine, etc etc etc wil lall fall tightly in line behind you. That would make you happy and you can contiue your "put your legs in a fire" mantra for another 5 years.
Cool.
Srinath.
Fine Sri,.. stick me with Jog.. you get to be in the Starlifter fan club..
"the I can't win an argument so I can post anything" was dumb the first time you did it.. it still is. I simply disregard them... as the fodder they are ( you even admit as much)... since I seldom post statements such as " well I think they both did it" you generally are not coming back AT me. So little matter. As far as I am concerned the forum is for posting ones position on current political events. Generally there cant be a "wrong" position.. but there can be bad information or bad logic for taking a position. Sri... correctly, has pointed out that some positions use logic that is on shakey ground (from a pure logic standpoint) Sri's decision to make blatantly stupid posts (the illogical ones) is his attempt to show that anyone can start from an incorrect position and work their way to where-ever they want. However, MY problem with that is, he is not adding to the thread... just polluting it. I can't assume that someone does not know position is based incorrectly, but Sri does. The thread becomes unproductive.
Now to Sri's position that EVERY time some says "both parties are guilty" he throws a tantrum with an illogical post. Basically a filibuster.
I am completely at ease condemning either or both parties. I have that right.. I have voted in every presidential election since I was 18. ( I am 50 now) The last president that I voted for that won was Regan. The last president that I voted for that took first or second place was Regan. So when JOG CORRECTLY points out that both parties are wrong... for Sri to filibuster by making goofy posts is him NOT adding to the thread... just polluting it. For Sri to ASSUME that anothers post is based only on Bush/Obama is WRONG. He is falling into the same thing which he says others do and shouldn't and which gives him the high road to filibuster. Which is too bad, but hey free country.
And yes... Sri... I am sure I could keep up with the 'tit-for-tat" lets each make "filibuster" posts... but again.. that's not adding to the thread... just polluting it. If you "win" because everyone gives up and quits reading the forum.. did you really win? At that point how do you put forth your viewpoint?... theres no one to read it. I don't participate to "win", only to add to my own knowledge and to put forth my own.
