"so that the issues can be discussed based on facts, substance, logic and principle."

Sounds good. Do you have any plans on starting this, or is it just talk?

"Then you get frustrated and blame me for your personal embarrassment. "

No. People get frustrated with you because you wave your hands, twist words, put up straw men and in general try to obfuscate the issues.

Sorry but I see you as nitpicking."

What you call nitpicking, I call a fly in the ointment. This is central to most of your arguments with reasonable conservatives. In the midst of what could be a well argued liberal view point, you extremist lefties inevitably bolster it with some spurious claim, usually minor but significant enough to belittle or suggest dishonor on some undeserving representative, group, or one of the poster's here, or even an idea.


A whole lot of words posted in the above paragraph........very little said. Criticizing the word CJ used to describe the intentions of the Rs when it comes to an Obama nominee is symptomatic of a weak/non existent defense. That's not the heart of the issue....its not even periphery to it. No matter what word CJ used doesn't change the fact that the Rs plan to fight an Obama nominee.

So what a couple of us try to do is to get you to agree to remove the fly so that the issues can be discussed based on facts, substance, logic and principle.

You put in the 'fly'.....you need to remove it.

When you wont it exposes a character flaw in the poster, or at a minimum it suggests a hidden agenda.

Well if the words fit.........
