That doesn't mean that they "basically carry the country" as you so outrageously and naively claimed.

Prove your point.

What you are saying is BS.

Under your rules of engagement I couldnt critize the Bears for trading for Jay Cutler now because I kept quiet when the trade first happened.

You can talk about people blaming Bush, even call them on it, but you don’t get to say “STOP BLAMING BUSH” when someone is talking about a topic on which they are NOT BLAMING BUSH and expect people to take it seriously and then get all frustrated when people call you on that $hit.

That’s about the 11th time I’ve said that in the last two days. Not. Computing.



LOL. no.

You said I CANT say something. Did you not?

When you refer to debates or lack thereof using the last 8 years as the premise exactly how isnt Bush involved? Without actually saying the words, you are implying that Bush did somethig wrong. If not there would be no need for debate.

Anyway congrats to effectively deflecting the attention off of the Disaster in Chief

Ok Chuck, if you're going to take me that way, then all bets are off.

"You can't tell me Rumor Has It is going to win the Sycamore," obviously means that I disagree with your premise, not that you are NOT ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO SAY IT.

I would say such a reading is, in fact, disingenuous, but then you will say I'm blaming Bush for your overly literal interpretation of what I'm saying.

Useless. I give up. Uncle. You win. Drained me of my energy with disingenuous interpretations and straw man arguments. You would actually make a really good conservative commentator, since you've mastered their tactics.

It's like arguing with a less intellectually honest version of Sean Hannity....if that's even humanly possible.

Small businesses make up more than 99.7% of all employers

Small businesses create more than 50 percent of the nonfarm private gross domestic product (GDP)

Small businesses employ about 50 percent of all private sector workers

Small businesses make up 97 percent of exporters and produce 29 percent of all export value.

The latest figures show that small businesses create 75 percent of the net new jobs in our economy.


Uh yeah they do.

So you are basing your attack/defense on yourdefinition of "basically carrying the country" and how it differs from mine? That's mighty rich of ya! Of course your definition is correct as you have distinctly and clearly pointed out where you are right and I am wrong.

Oh you just chose to assume your view is right and mine wrong. Why not. Brian has studied my posts and political opinions for the last 8 1/2 years and has determine that doth protest too little and you are just picking up the slack. Good job.

Give me a break with your roundabout bullshi t.

You want to call me intellectually dishonest? Fine.

I will be the bigger man and say that is your view and you are entitled to it however distorted and simpleminded it may be.

You arent really aware of the meaning of intellectually honest or dishonest are you? In order to be intellectually dishonest I would have to knowingly advance an argument that I knew was based on untrue information. Or I would have to knowingly withhold information that was relevant to my argument.

When exactly have I done this?

Just one example. And me saying that Democrats still "blame bush" is simply an opinion based on valid information. No honesty involved.

Keep up the the fight. Your party will need you the next few elections.
