No, you were using what you *imagine* is Democratic thought processes,
but as you are unfamaliar with actual Democrats or actual thought, you
are way off base.

You know, if you were a little smarter, it wouldn't come as so much of a
surprise that people think you are an idiot.

Are you from Wisconsin dairy country? 'Cause they're the only people
I've ever encountered who can milk something so thoroughly.

I know a lot about hate. I know the argument you're making on Kerry's
bashing Bush with a statement that in no way looks like it could
possibley be is based on the hate that we should assume Dems feel for
Republicans.

A Dem called me an idiot because evidently he couldn't come up with
anything better. Really though, I don't mind too much, I mean if the
United States Military is full of uneducated people, I'm in damn good
company

Man, that's positively post-modern. Jaques Derrida would be proud.

I mean, I could't diagram that sentence even if you threatened me with
Vegamite.

the Bush admin to do the difficult task of trying to spread democracy.
Sometimes you fail when trying to do the right thing, however, that is
better than the Dem tactic of doing nothing or doing the wrong thing.


Spreading democracy by invading a country that didn't have anything to
do with 9/11, but claiming that that country was involved, then
screwing up the occupation to the point of making the situation even
worse is not a good model. The Dem's "failed" policy had Saddam
contained, with no real threat to our country. The Dem's "failed"
policy in N. Korea, was something Colin Powell and Rice _endorced_ at
the beginning of the Bush Admin., which was then rejected by Bushco
because they believed that *anything* Clinton did was bad. Stupid is
as stupid does.

Your study of grammar stopped too early. Remove Walt's extraneous "is" in
his penultimate line, and try again. It's a complex sentence, but at least
grammatically correct with that change.


Fair enough. But if you're going to allow Dak to remove extraneous
state-of-being verbs, maybe one ought to allow Kerry to ex-post facto
insert the missing pronoun? i.e. "...you wind up getting US stuck in Iraq."

Or allow the substitution of "Dak" for "Walt" in your post, which is
obviously what you meant.

Which is to say that we all mis-speak from time to time; the fact that a
simple misstatement brings down the full fury of the wing-nut-o-sphere
indicates something about them, and it ain't charitable.

This little kurfuffle acts quite well as a screen to see if someone is
reasonable and thoughtful, or whether they just knee-jerk react to the
noise machine. Congratulations for passing, Dave. Respect is earned.

Dave would never insult the troops. He should apologize anyway, however, in
case someone out there thinks he did.

I agree. Of course, if he does appologize, someone should come along
and give him a hard time for it. Especially if he doesn't actually
admit to insulting the troops, which he probably won't.

And if he *does* admit to insulting the troops, well, look out Nelly!
