No, Bill, you excerpted misleadingly, and so transparently I am actually a bit shocked. THIS is what I said:
...if it looks like there will be a
Democratic Congress, I may vote for Bush. I like to stick a
spoke in their wheels. Of course, if it looks like there may be a
Republican one, I might be forced to vote for Gore. Gore is not
sufficiently protective of the Second Amendment in my eyes.
To have said, "I can live with [a candidate]," would have implied, would it not, a feeling of reconciliation toward that vote, and candidate?
And did I not actually say the following?
if it looks like there will be a Democratic Congress, I may vote for Bush. I like to stick a spoke in their wheels. Of course, if it looks like there may be a Republican one, I might be forced to vote for Gore.
Bill, would you care to take this opportunity to admit what JLA will not, that I didn't say I "could live with Gore"? Would you further admit that you excerpted misleadingly?
(Again, had I said it, it would have implied, would it not, that I couldn't live with Bush, but could with Gore? Right?)
Please acknowledge.
P.S. There is one way you could say in honesty that I communicated something even along the lines of "I could live with Gore"!-- That would be if you concluded that because I hadn't said I would actually commit suicide, it was implied. However, that argument is mooted by the fact that... I did comment here that I planned to kill myself rather than vote for either of them!
EDIT: In my 15 minute window, I note your "please do us a favor and admit you lied about it."
I add to my request that you apologize for that mischaracterization unless you can substantiate it. Lies have been told on this matter, but not by me. |
