Harry sputtered indignantly:
I've never been on the Democratic Party payroll. I have from time to
time done some volunteer work for the party itself. I have been directly
involved for compensation in the campaigns of several congressional
candidates over the years and have been paid directly by them for
services, but none of my checks came from the Democratic Party. This
past election, I was involved in the creative end of a series of
television and radio commercials on behalf of organizations with common
political interests, but none was the DNC or any of its affiliates.

Notice he never directly answered the question. Typical Demo tactic.
I marched for peace, right along with the rest of the Division.

Notice he never directly answered the question? The question was
"Harry - Now that Kerry has conceded and the election is over are you
off the Democratic payroll?

His answer was "I've never been on the Democratic Party payroll"

Just exactly what "Typical Demo tactic" is it that confuses you?

Sure he did, you just snipped the question he answered: "Now that Kerry
has conceded and the election is over are you off the Democratic payroll?"

You can't get any more direct of an answer than "I've never been on the
Democratic Party payroll."

Hee hee...a lot of Harry's antagonizes don't appear to be very bright.

"would you please give up your
attempts and let's turn this back into a boating newsgroup? Sure would
be a nice change."

I see a second question mark. And I'm not even as "bright" as a democrat:-)

After addressing the first in depth, he chose not to answer the second,
which was a rather insulting question. I don't see any problem with that.

What I *do* see a problem with is Mark trimming Tom's original post to
make it appear that Harry hadn't addressed Tom's questions at all, and
that's just dishonest.

And I'm not even as "bright" as a democrat:-)

Clearly.

I don't see where the question was insulting. This newsgroup is
supposed to be about boating and Harry (along with a few others) has
been on a mission to convert it to his own little political newsgroup
which has done nothing but generate hostility. I, for one, would
prefer to see more boating related topics and move the political
comments to an appropriate venue. Harry may be a likeable fellow,
knowledgeable about boats and helpful to those with questions or
problems but it would be hard to tell from his posts and even if he
posts something worthwhile he will only get blasted by his
protagonists. The election is over - we don't have to face it again
for four more years so why not drop the political BS and talk about
boats and fishing and cruising and sailing and whatever else might be
related to boating? Who knows - we might find out we even like each
other. :-)

He said he didn't answer the "question". He did not say which one. Funny,
you chose to comment on the question he(harry) DID answer and not the one he
didn't? And how is asking to return a ng to normal an "insulting
question"???

Me thinks this guy might have you dems pegged pretty good....clearly:-)

No, I commented on that one too, as you noted below.

Read it again: "Since you obviously failed to convert enough voters to
sway the election would you please give up your attempts and let's turn
this back into a boating newsgroup?"

As phrased, it was both insinuatory and misleading, therefore insulting;
an obvious troll - not what this newsgroup needs to return to "normal."

Nope, he's off by a nautical mile.

Bright enough to relect President Bush.
Bright enough to get Daschle voted out of office and increase the number of
Republican seats in the Senate.
Bright enough to increae the number of seats in the house.

I also read that Canada doesn't want the loosers, Kerry supporters, thinking
that they can just walk over the border and set up shop in Canada. It seems
your health care system and social support system are at their breaking
points. When y'all need a loan come and see us we always help those in need.
