What have you got to hold against me, anyway?
What reason to you have to assume such a thing? What good purpose does it serve to pretend that honest criticism of someone's post is motivated by having something "against you" personally? Honestly, Ken... that makes no sense to me at all?
It reminds me of the time that someone around here got upset because I used the waving smilie
Do you think nobody in this party agrees with me about that?
I think it's safe to say that simply because two or more people share the same opinion, that alone does not make the opinion valid. Nor does it make it correct or good. It simply means that two or more people have the SAME BAD IDEA or the SAME MISCONCEPTION.
When you defend your arguments with "well, others feel the same way" ... that tells me you're coming-in from a position of weakness (if that's the BEST defense you can come up with to explain, justify or validate your ideas.)
I haven't done any harm and it's not my fault that we got the head of state that we've got.
You know as well as I do that nobody has blamed you for that. NOBODY! Why put up that type of strawman to knock over? (Guilt?)
It reminds me of Homer's reply to Marge when she says:
Marge: "Welcome Home, Homie! How was work?"
Homer: "And just WHAT do you mean by that? I wasn't at Moe's if that's what you're thinking!"
Oh, Homer! I love that show! He cracks me up every time!

It came from the bush years when all the republican mouthpieces would go on the Sunday talk

Also, your newly frequent peppering of posts with references to the Goddess is a bit shark-jumpy.

I wasn't referring to that kind of "talking point"(thanks for the background on that, though)

I'm talking about the way it gets used on DU to try against people calling for change in the party.

Sorry, that's complete bullshit. You're smearing the Democratic party and...

Is it me, or are we being treated to right wing taking points? Things that make you go "hmmmmm..."

Youre always posting negative things about Dems- always- and often attributing them to others....
