       Harrythenut does not want to admit he lost the election,
       and
       it
       is
       everyone
       else in the country that is wrong.
     
      Does your comment somehow negate the fact that there are
      millions
      of
      loonies
      walking around who actually believe this rapture nonsense,
      and
   are
      willing
      to manipulate politics here and overseas to fit their
    hallucinations?
     
     
     
      Does your comment somehow negate the fact that there are
  millions
   of
      loonies walking around who actually believe the President
 Bush
  is
      not
     the
      President, as they did not vote for him?  That there are
  millions
   of
      loonies
      walking around who actually believe the Sen. Kerry would be
    competant?
     
     
    
     That has nothing to do with the original subject of this
 thread.
    
    
    
     Makes as much sense as you stating there are 65 mm loonies
     waiting
   the
     rapture.
    
    
   
    Simple, for you:
   
    The
    Number
    Doesn't
    Matter
   
   
   
    Oh, now it does not matter?
   
   
  
   1) Nobody can accurately determine the number.
   2) If there were just eleven, but they had the president's ear,
 they'd
  be
   dangerous.
   3) You know there are millions. The proof? Nobody buys television
 time
  to
   address a tiny audience. Turn on your TV on Sunday morning.
  
  
  
   Now it is probably millions?  Get your facts somewhat straight
   before
   posting, and people may pay attention to you.
  
  
 
  Is this really the best you can do? Fixate on a number which nobody
  can
  accurately determine?
 
 
 
  Is this really the best you can do?  Throw out a huge number and then
 say
  well, the real number does not count?
 
 
 Read slowly: I did not pick the number, nor did I claim it was accurate.
 I
 can only come to the same conclusion which you will agree with
 (internally),
 but deny (publicly) because it's convenient.
 No, you stated the number as fact.  You can not back up your facts, so
 your
 argument is a fallacy.
No. The OP posted a story which claimed the number to be fact. The author
certainly estimated, and probably on the high side. But, that doesn't
matter. Let's try this again, and for the last time.
Since you believe religious zealots should not influence politics in the
Middle East, do you also believe they should NOT do the same here?
Yes.
You are now asking a simple question. Earlier you were trying to imply that some
ridiculous story you heard was true. There is a big difference.
