Interesting, xeno.
The user-name isn’t a “political sentiment.” It’s a willful statement of erroneous fact.
I can’t do that, because it isn’t how I feel. Your mind-reading skills rather suck, dude.
No, I don’t believe voter intent is entirely irrelevant. I just don’t think in most cases it can be helpful for determining the outcome of an election.
For example, your comment about BuchananwonPalmBeach … you’re right. Something fishy definitely happened there. But quantifying who meant to do what from individual, anonymous ballots is impossible.
How the poster feels about the outcome in Florida is irrelevant. Who won is the question. Read Point 2 in my OP as to my response to that question. Not to mention it’s Bush’s signature going on all those laws and executive orders that you dislike. Pretty strong evidence that he won Florida.
Oh? So if I continually assert that the Detroit Tigers won the World Series last year, anyone who spews a “shallow, close-minded, blindered attitude” toward that and disputes it is running counter to the spirit of this board?
(Now here’s the part of your post that I really liked!)
I outline logical reasons for my thread title. I use no profanity or insulting terms.
Uncle Beer, on the other hand, accuses you of not reading my OP thoroughly, which apparently means he feels it has some information to be gleaned that you missed.
Think about what that means if his post exhibited “careful thought,” xeno
Uncle Beer then refers to those who refuse to recognize the outcome of the Florida elections in the face of overwhelming evidence as “dumbasses,” and his comment about the acronym of gorewonfla.
And his post is the one that exhibits “civility” (with your direct implication that it was mine that did not)?
To sum up, what in the fuck are you talking about? And quit kissing moderator ass. It’s unbecoming.
[sub](Don’t get me wrong, Unc. I enjoyed your post and agree with everything you said. That you supported my OP was just a happy coincidence.)[/sub]
