158. oh

. . . so you choose to stick to the line that I'm some sort of game-player, instead of recognizing how hard I've argued over the years for the exact same issues, using the exact same reasoning.

You choose to describe our disagreement casting yourself as a inviolable defender of some principle you've contrived - and me as an insincere, dissembling villain.

It may well end up that I've mis-characterized what the President has said, but you didn't come close, in my view to what I believe he said. We're reading the same words.

That's just a disagreement with your view, Nance, which doesn't deserve all of the rest of the nonsense you've accused me of. Apparently it's not okay to 'bore' you with a lengthy explanation, but just fine for you to spend the bulk of your explanation of his statement casting all sorts of aspersions on me and my own character with your own lengthy diatribe. Cute.

Btw, this isn't my article, nor is it the only view out there which agrees with my characterization of the President's words. You'll need more than the brittle matches you've used here to light a fire to all of those 'strawmen' like the one you're thinking you see in my view.

I didn't have to respond to you, now I'm a little sorry I spent the time. It's not easy for me these days, but I though you were worth the effort. I'll move on and let you have your say without offering any more of my opinion of it. I don't need this shit.
