25,000 votes discarded in Republican counties in Florida?? I haven't seen or heard that before. Where does that information come from? Can you cite me to a reliable source? Calling me a moron may satisfy your need to attack people with whom you disagree, but it is nothing more than name-calling. On the other hand, when I say that Bush is being dishonest for opposing manual counting in Florida when he signed a bill into law in Texas approving just that method in closely disputed elections, those facts support the claim of dishonesty. That's different than gratuitous name calling. Likewise, it is a fact that Republicans generally support governmental intrusion into citizen's personal lives and support laws which support the Christian religion, but do not support laws which regulate economic activity. The claim by Republican that they want "government off our backs" is, therefore, not entirely true, i.e., it is somewhat dishonest and two-faced. The accusation of "dishonesty" which rests on those facts is, therefore, not arbitrary name-calling whether you disagree with the accusation. Nothing that I have said can fairly be characterized as "moronic." My points are reasoned even though you disagree with them. But if you disagree with me than you ought to be able to state that disagreement in a reasoned manner. Name calling is usually the province of those who cannot make reasoned argument.
