You demanded that he re-post the question.  
He re-posted the question.  
Now you are pretending that he did not ask the question again, while being inappropriately rude.

You are now claiming that a poster who has simply sought your (odd) opinion in straightforward language is “acting like a Republican” when the most brief survey of his opinions would indicate that he is not–and you are again doing it rudely.

These CT threads do have their amusing moments, but eventually, we always seem to get to the point where the CT adherent begins to stop even pretending to have a point and begins to make wild accusations about other posters, generally in an inappropriate fashion.

You have now entered that (predictable, because so often repeated) stage. If you continue in this fashion, you will probably be banned.

For now, simply answer the question from post #153 or declare that you will not answer it and stop playing games. In the meantime, dial back your hostility and pay enough attention to the other posters to be able to refrain from trying to insult them by making wildly inaccurate guesses about their political affiliation.
