There's something happening to the Democratic Party...

128. Whatever.

You aren't offering any solutions. If you feel like I should be tossed out of here because I'm not hysterical enough; then by all means toss away.

You were the one 'mischaracterizing', so that isn't something that I'm asking to be pardoned for.

As far as changing the subject; if you want to talk about how the big bad government is sneaking around spying on us. I'm not in a position to stop you, feel free to point out all of the 'evil government plots'. I'll tell you again; I don't think it's the most important issue of our time. That doesn't mean that it isn't important to you or anyone else; it just isn't my 'banner' issue.

I support trade agreements; my party leaders support trade agreements. I'm a democrat and plan on voting D across the board. if you're opposed to them; why don't you come up with some kind of plan to stop them. If you have a good plan; I might even support you on it (unless that plan involves voting for republicans). Complaning about it on a message board isn't, what I would consider, a good plan.

As far as 'ironic accusations'; you mischaracterized my position on two points in the previous post. I pointed them out. There isn't anything ironic about that (no misdirection or faux indignation). It's a matter of you being deceptive. Why don't you just own up to it?

The deception is what is not deserving of a pardon.
