Its not a mantra....its laws enacted or attempted to be enacted by Democrats.

And you can ignore the facts of those legislative initiatives.

Who said I wonder any such thing? You?

I dont know Griff....but I understand where he is coming from here.

I'll take a different approach....you keep trolling and I'll keep posting facts (with cites) and questioning bullshit when I see it.

I thought Merc was crazy until I read Urbane Guerilla.

Now I realize that Merc isn't the fringe, Merc is where the fringe is stitched onto the jacket.

Ever since the Republican party imploded, Merc has lost a few stitches. When the last few pop loose, it will be interesting to see where he lands.

I guess if I was a Republican it would make a difference for me, but since I haven't voted a straight party ticket for over 10 years you can't count me in that club. I haven't lost any stitches, in fact I've gained stitches much closer to the middle.

More than once you've shown you just can't get your head around how a sane man might not go along with just what richlevy thinks is good. Are you sure you have enough imagination? I'm not. The world is full of functional adults, rich, who actually think like adults and not enlarged children. I happily number myself in this good company, thanks.

To avoid for the remainder of your life an understanding that UG might be more righteous, more compassionate, more liberating, more just plain correct than you've ever been -- owing to values that are some improvement on yours -- you appear to pretend you're dealing with some kind of madman. It's a pretense, rich, and it's thinking like a kid.

I'll be right behind you doing the same thing.

It would be more fun if it wasnt so easy...debunking your "facts" is like taking candy from a baby.

Wait..I dont think I have ever seen you post a fact with a cite.

LOL. Ok. Whatever you want to believe.

OK, in the three years since this story "broke", have there been any further investigations, new information, any arrests or convictions?

Nope. But like I said it is about his integrity and refusal to discuss the issue. Personally I am waiting for his first stab at telling jokes in front of the Senate and having them in the Congressional Record. It should be good.
