If we locked the bullshitters out, there wouldn't be much discussion around here you know. lol

04-20-2009, 11:54 PM

All this time and no one told me!

Do I get a retroactive bullshit allowance?

Aliantha · 04-20-2009, 11:55 PM

You can bullshit as much as you like. Everyone else does.

Urbane Guerrilla · 04-20-2009, 11:56 PM

And it makes the roses grow. Given time.

I can aspire to wrench the crown from Merc the King?

Now there's a goal!

Aliantha · 04-21-2009, 12:00 AM

Oh I don't know if Merc is the king of BS around here. That title is highly contentious. lol

Shutting down ACORN will be a big improvement.

I don't recall hearing about all the problems with the elections before 2000. They were probably there, but not on the scale they were in 2000.

Obama won by such a HUGE margin, it probably wouldn't have mattered. but yes, there were still problems with that election.

The problems need to be fixed. No matter who they favor. We cannot say we have free elections as long as we continue having these problems.

I have no problem sticking to primary source information when the discussion calls for facts and not opinions.

Let me know if you wanna play by those rules...but it will limit your bullshit

I just refuse to see the world through your Obama colored glasses and call bullshit on your partisan pandering. It must bother you when people don't agree with your world views.

So I guess that means "No Deal"

Thats cool.

I will still try to cite acts of Congress, reports from non-partisan sources like the GAO or CBO or other source materials as often as I can ( I admit to falling back on biased sources on a few occasions)...

And you will cite your editorials and blogs like Malkin that support your pre-conceived opinions and imply or infer some degree of credibility.

Whatever dude. Your "facts" are nothing more than smoke in mirrors as you try to deflect what is really happening on the ground. You need to take off your partisan glasses and see what is going on around you. But that is cool. Have fun in your world.

Redux is partisan, and spiritedly. He feels obliged to defend his Jackass Party from those mean ole Republicans any time somebody takes a shot at his team. It's not that we're anti-Democrat so much as we're anti-stupid and anti-feckless, and the Dems do so much of both. We're not exactly sympathetic to inflation either, having lived through quite a cycle of it and seen the rot.

Yep...I am partisan.....never denied it.

Is that your best defense of the failed neo-con policies or are you running away from that discussion now?

sugarpop · 04-23-2009, 04:34 PM

Actually, Redux seems to the voice of reason, not partisan at all. UG on the other hand, is very partisan.

04-23-2009, 05:05 PM

thanks, sugar...but my partisan leanings do have a way of showing through.
