I have not asked nor done anything to cultivate your respect waterjet2 as a matter of fact in order for me to gain your respect I would have to betray everything I believe to be right. I don’t want your respect. I’d rather you just didn’t like me or my opinions at all. I’m sure you’ll be willing to oblige me.

Fine. Go rant at things you don’t understand. Go ahead and hate conservatives based on ideas you only believe they hold due to your own willful ignorance. Feel perfectly justified in doing so. You are oviously too entrenched in your ideas to be capable of reason. Thank you for making your idiocy perfectly clear, so that I don’t waste my breath trying to get you to be a rational person.
Although, I have to admit that I’m curious as to why my respect means so little to you. I tend to believe that intelligent people should strive to earn the respect of each other, even if they do disagree. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to exclude themself from that.
I do, thanks.
That’d be right here:
You anticipate that someone might not want to do it, and so you provide preemptive spin to the effect that they’d be “avoiding the scenario…because [they] can’t logically refute it.” In effect calling them a chicken-shit before the fact. Nice.
And it seems as if that was aimed at xenophon, which makes your posturing even more ludicrous.
But hey, I’m going to list every scandal associated with every Republican president in the last century. If you can’t show me in this thread that each of them were really fabrications of the pinko media, I’ll consider you unable to refute Stoid’s thesis that Republicans are evil. Sound fair?
I don’t think GWB is evil. I don’t think Republicans as a group are evil (Some might be evil, as might some Democrats.) I don’t hate GWB, although I voted for the other guy, and think that Bush’s victory was a little dodgy. Hating isn’t good politics, because it makes compromise impossible. The way I figure it, I’m going to disagree with most of the stuff the President is going to do/advocate, and will do my humble best to try to stop the stuff from occuring. However, there will probably be some things he does/advocates which I agree with. And, 4 years from now, I’ll probably back the other guy.

what was said in that horrific OP:
“No counterargument would be entertained?” Counterarguments were invited in the first phrase of the post!
As for the media’s premature call of Florida - this post was made at 2:44 a.m. election night.
As more was learned later about what happened and why, I would say it had more to do with Voter News Service’s terrible job at statistical sampling that all of the national media accepted as gospel in lock-step than anything else.
As to whether the major television media is liberal: Get a transcript of CBS News’ Special Report the night Katherine Harris certified the vote count. Listen to Dan Rather’s impartial imparting of the news event. It’s a hoot.
As to the second part, about Missouri? Stand by every word.
As to the last part, wasn’t aware at the time of how contentious this would end up being. Wasn’t aware exuberance for the candidate I supported would end up being such a bad thing.
Ah, Captain Amazing…it’s guys like you who are gonna be up against the wall when the revolution comes. How DARE you try to inject reason and civility into a partisan political slagheap?
Yup, the major television media sure is liberal. Would that be General Electric, Westinghouse, Disney, or Rupert Murdoch particularly? :rolleyes:
Really? You mean, where you invited us whiny and supercilious liberals to offer our attempts to defend the “blatant attempts at fraud”?
Yup. Nothing absolute or inarguable about that. :rolleyes: (Sorry about the rolling eye smilie; really. You’re probably getting tired of seeing those.
But if you continue to post weak arguments you might want to get used to it.)
