Dems should look to Repubs for our strategy, platform, and leaders...

Ok, then, post one link to one of your other 5990 threads that actually contains a factual statement, or arguement based on fact. Something more significant than “what the meaning of is, is.”

Can you?

Sorry, to borrow from Jon Stewart: “I’m not your monkey”

Hmm, didn’t think you could.

I try to do at least one good deed per day, Milroy.

What you’re continually unwilling to address is that your recklessness and sloppiness in arguing your causes are actually detrimental to them. And screaming wildly that your opponents are selfish and evil does not encourage converts. This is why right-wingers lick their chops when they see you open another thread.

By the way - if, strictly speaking, your “politics” are so mainstream, do you think it would be beneficial for the Democratic Party to adopt your positions that pornography is harmless or even beneficial, or that prostitution should be legalized?

That’d win over the “red states”, fer sure.

Confusing, ain’t it?

If I did that, you might have a point. (Unless of course, you are George Bush? john Ashcroft? Karl Rove slumming at the Dope?)

Ooops on the send.

Not true. Been “addressed” a number of times in the past, not really iinterested in “addressing” it again. If you are so interested, you are also welcome to relive the magic of the last 6 years. I’m a little too busy with today.

Now here you have come up with an issue where I will freely admit, my politics are pretty far left. Vice crime. Drugs and prostitution. Legalize all of it, tax and regulate. I’m happy to say that the world is inching closer all the time, including lots of Dopers, starting with two of our most prominent right wingers who posted right after I did in that thread. Fancy that! I’m such a radical lefty I’ve traveled all the way around to meet up with the right!

It’s a wacky world, I tell ya.

Leftist, hell, you’re a Libertarian!

And just from the sidelines, could we maybe cut the Stoid-bashing? Let’s all give each other a do-over so that we can approach the next 4 years freed from the luggage of every political opinion we’ve ever posted? I’m sure that Stoid will post reasoned, fact-based comments from whatever side of the spectrum she pleases.

And enough with the labels of “extreme” and radical. They are just value judgmeents that are devoid of any factual content. How do we doefine “extreme”? What are the criteria? I reckon that they change with the political stance of the speaker.

Well, gobear, I fear you overlook the obvious, which is that those of us, like Stoid and myself, afflicted with overpowering sexual magnetism and pungent wit are commonly…ah, well, need not explain this to you, now do I?

Yeah, I know. Actually, I really am in theory. But the facts of corporate America prevent me from embracing it wholeheartedly. It’s a shame. People tend to suckage where money is involved, can’t be trusted.

And I have my father as the scariest possible example of a Libertarian. He’s so pro-freedom it borders on anarchy. “So Dad…should regular folks be permitted to own nuclear weapons, too?” “Sure! Why not?”

Gah.

I love him, but I’m glad he’s powerless.

And…thanks.

Still no facts, though. Color me surprised. You were a radical six years ago, and you’re a radical, and a liar, now.

I realize there was a (long?) period in between where you didn’t post much, but those of us who were around after the 2000 election and 9/11 remember all your craziness from that time. To come back now and claim that your politics are anywhere less than radical, is absurd, and a lie.

Poor Milroy. I tried, but it takes two.

I’m really sorry about your little obsession. Good luck with that.

Says the discredited liar.

Haven’t learned a fucking thing, have you?

She’s not discredited. The only thing that would discredit a poster like Stoid is for her to pull a Horowitz and become conservative. As long as she’s supporting the liberal cause, contradictions, outright lies, and refusals to acknowledge proofs of the same are merely more credentials for the rest of the liberals similarly inclined around here.

I’m so glad we’ve stopped the demonization of the opposition around here.

Haven’t you heard? The some liberals were mean to Bricker. This, like 9/11, changes everything.

Except the fact that I really should be better at previewing, of course.

It’s the Pit. Being mean is allowed.
[QUOET=spooje] I’m so glad we’ve stopped the demonization of the opposition around here.

I thought only libs demonized people. Wasn’t that the gist of so many “respect us or else” posts?
