Some Comparisons

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I have said all along that I'm in favor of legalizing non narcotic drugs, I don't embrace everything libertarians do. I don't really like drug testing, but I recognize certain realities. And again, like I said to hoosier, I'm discussing the current situation where people get handouts, and as such situation exists drug testing them isn't that outta line.

And if you lump me in with tex and take potshots at me....well, I really don't want to get into that. I guess I'm guilty of posting while conservative huh?

If you act like McCain in 2000 and call out the religious right then you are one thing...if you cozy up to them, you are another.

Ask yourself who your bedfellow is.

You don't see me cozying up to Tank.

So, lumping certain groups of people together is ok? I'm not sure what you mean by "cozying up". I have made probably 20 posts refuting tex's ideas. I have made 2 telling him he doesn't need the rhetoric to make the point when he is right. How many have you made to #1packfan? How many times have you told hoosier he doesn't need to encite class warfare? I don't call you out on trying to pretend you are black either, does that mean I should be lumped in with you?

So much white on white crime. So little time to enjoy it all!

Did you paleface-devils know that Mexicans are some of the most prejudice people in the world?

Only people who hate blacks more than the clan are the Mexicans.

I made the analogy...if you can't see it..then you can't see it. If you wanna be an admired Maverick then you know what to do. If you wanna turn off the base that found you independent..keep doing what you are doing.

Packfan...harldy compares...he doesn't call people sick, america hating, testicular challenged...you can try all you want, but it isn't even close. Not to mention that you dont' find me posting anything to him. By addressing him, i would be acknowledging the lunatic fringe.

Hoosier: Sorry, but i and others dont' see it as class warfare. Again, that is a common conserv tactic..whether it is true or not. That would be like me labeling you as non-compassionate...as the basis for refusing to engage. At no point has anyone other than tex been so uncivil. There is a reason that many werent' happy when he showed up here, reason people don't want to post to him, avoid his posts...and I have emails from people saying they are fed up with him.

Black: Of course not...i don't make any arguments based on race. Anytime i even talk about Tyrone..it is as a crack addict. Race isn't the issue. I don't start arguing a point about healthcare based on a "black" perspective..whatever that might be.

Well, it's been said that most prejudice is based on ignorance.

Woulda been McCain till flip flopped.

The hispanic vote is going to be critical...and the repubs on this one have shot themselves in the foot.

Yes, actually, for some reason I was aware of that...

Rack him

[bobblehead]

Ok, tyrone, I'm gonna make one last post on all this and hope you understand it.

I have disagreed with tex on his theory that the multiplier extends to handout type spending, we went back and forth with no name calling. Even if he had called me a name, but tried to make a point, I would have continued. I don't chastisize him because I don't need to in order for him to actually debate other than take a potshot.

Our very first interaction was you dropping in, saying my posts were laced with hypocrysie and something or the other and stated that I wasn't worth responding to. I managed to drag you into a debate, but it never involved anything to do with politics, it was a bunch of he said she said crap as this has been. You said this so you are that, no I didn't mean that blah blah blah. I could care less for this stuff.

I try to drag you into a debate and we got close on healthcare, but not really into it. Anytime you start into an issue it becomes about the poster instead of the issue. I try to drag you into the issue's debate so we can have an honest discussion about what we think on policy and why its right or wrong, but it ends up as this.

I don't need to drag tex into the discussion, when he agrees with me, no need, when he doesn't, we debate it out.

Same goes for Harlen, he debates his issue, with no problem, we go back and forth, and it stays about the issue. Hoosier, once in a short while he gets off track with class warfare, but for the most part he does defend his position, sometimes in a way that even convinces me.

I guess, I chastize for dropping in with a "circle jerk" comment and adding zero to the discussion. If you didn't like this thread, leave it alone, if we are wrong, point it out, but stay away from dragging me into a stupid petty arguement like this one.

Now that I have been around a bit longer and I have gotten to know the personalities of everyone I will probably completely avoid this kind of back and forth and save it for when you actually make a point, which has been occasionally. I like it when you do, it is helpful. When you don't, its nominally more civil than tex is. I'm quite sure you don't see it my way on this, but hopefully over say the next year you will begin to understand what I mean. I have figure out who wants to talk issues and who wants to bicker, I'll leave it at that.

Well said, Bobblehead (hey, that rhymes).

About the only time I depart from civility is as a "counter puncher". Your chastising of Tyrone would be only marginally less true for several other forum leftists too, who, as I pointed out a while back in my "POLITICAL ISSUES" thread, are pathetically incapable, not to mention thoroughly unwilling to discuss actual issues.

Do we sound like Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering patting each other on the back, or what?
