Obama reelection 2012

[nots]

Well, let's get this straight before we go on. I never mentioned, and don't give a damn, whether Romney got a bonus for the SLC Olympics. My post addressed how chance, who usually has a healthy skepticism about such things, somehow decided to declare there to be "no doubt" that Romney didn't work for Bain after 1999. This is all part of the new chance, the one who slants way farther right than the old chance.

You apparently decided to be clever at my expense, and in the process came unacceptably close to comparing me with Bill Ayers. Two problems...I have absolutely nothing in common with Bill Ayers...and I was sure you had no idea who you were talking about until you were "educated" by Fox News. One clue was your calling him "William".

Accusing someone of acting like Bill Ayers, when you don't have a clue what you're talking about, is weak. Now you've worsened things by dragging the Palins and Jeremiah Wright into the fray. This type of misdirection argument is just silly.

You want to talk me off a ledge? You need more game than these vague accusations and straw man arguments. The only decent point in your posts on this issue (otherwise a waste of band width), was the suggestion that anything having to do with the Palins or Jeremiah Wright is a non-issue. The rest was a waste of your time, my time, and the time of those who have read what we have directed at each other.

I don't recall where your political views lie, but whenever those on the right try to peg the left by ascribing to them the views of people who just don't play any role in the creation of the liberal ideology, it is sadly humorous. You usually see it in terms of "Liberals believe this", or "Liberals think that", but sometimes it comes in the form of guilt by association...regardless of whether there was actually any association.

I'd just as soon call this a draw, and not waste our time scrapping with each other. Or we can say you won. Whatever it takes to move us along.

I think you are looking for a scrap where one doesn't exist. My point was to refute your whining about the likelihood of a Romney presidency and to take exception with some of the superfluous points you made about why he is unelectable. To me it read like the right's nonsense with ayers and wright and the lefts nonsense with Palin baby gate. Somehow you'be turned that into something much more than that. Bottom line as we sit today, Romney is much more likely to lose than win--all the rest is just background noise.

His position may not have changed, but it does seem that he adds his considerable talents, from time to time, to helping the right articulate positions which are difficult to articulate.

Are you still talking about the nonsense concerning Romney still running Bain after 1999? Havent even the left wing news outlets with some credibility said this is untrue?

[cardboardbox]

I'm going to disagree with the choir. If the next four months of economic reports do not improve over the 2nd qtr, Romney should win.

nots, one of our friends here, for whom I have a great deal of respect, tells me that I read your initial post wrong, or at least read more into it than was there. As I said, I respect this guy's judgement and reason, so I'm going with him on this. That being the case, I'll say to you that I'm sorry and that I shouldn't have blown something small and probably unintentional into a big deal. I hope you'll accept the apology.

I'll still put my money on Romney to win and Obama to place, but we can debate that later.

No worries. I probably could have written my original post with more clarity.

His position may not have changed, but it does seem that he adds his considerable talents, from time to time, to helping the right articulate positions which are difficult to articulate. He reminds me of one attorney who has cases in my court all the time. I don't always agree with him, but he alwaysfinds a way to make an interesting case, even turning an occasional sow's ear into a purse.

Thanks. I'm honored.

Are you both conceding to Romney already?:wtf: I would expect you to hope for a real victory and posts from the White House.

You'd make a terrible interpreter.

"If you have things to hide, then maybe you're doing things wrong. I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people."

-- Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R), quoted by the AP, calling on Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.

This was very funny.

Doig knows how to deliver a line.

I wont speculate if it is the party line.
