If Kerry had won, the Dems, according to my farcical scenario, should have to pay for him, (to answer from the land of "What if...the Romans had had machine guns, and the Huns had had nukes".) Intent, plus some sort of spending BY the person in question would be the logical solution set. I don't think we can say that you have to pay for what you intend but which does not happen- since that is not analogous to the situation the republicans are in- you supported the man, and he is spending every dollar he can. I DO think (at least in the context of my statement) that you should pay up for what you support that DOES actually happen (even if you feel your support did not help tip the outcome- because how are you to know?), if it were a "perfect" world- which it's not nor ever will be. I'm amazed the logic of that escapes you, but there we are. I can't believe we're still posting about what was essentially an off the cuff joke (as if anyone is ever going to get out of a tax because they don't agree with it). Conversation on SI tends to be so meaningless between people of different beliefs that it verges on the absurd. So why don't you decide what the democrats should pay, for their intention to elect someone who did NOT in fact get elected nor get the chance to run up a deficit (even though he might not have done so) and just post that, and this will be "resolved".
