I too enjoyed the irony of watching you assume something, then tsk Demit Jan 2015 #127

On the one hand you make an assumtion (which, incidentally is false!) and then you proceed..... George II Jan 2015 #129

It's pretty easy for a poster to say that if an elderly man fell, it's his fault CreekDog Jan 2015 #61

And the reverse is true also. former9thward Jan 2015 #62

but only in the former case is anyone being accused of lying CreekDog Jan 2015 #69

Clever. Kingofalldems Jan 2015 #63

Would you have jumped in with insinuations if Kingofalldems Jan 2015 #72

Of course. former9thward Jan 2015 #112

the statement was in the story CreekDog Jan 2015 #171

He DID fall, after the equipment broke. Says it right in the statement from his office. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #41

OK. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #71

I replied to that in post #25. former9thward Jan 2015 #76

I have yet to see a post from 9ward that is not annoying, irritating, or disagreeable NBachers Jan 2015 #142

Thank you! former9thward Jan 2015 #185

Had you read the piece linked, the entire statement is highlighted there & below hlthe2b Jan 2015 #53

I already posted about that. former9thward Jan 2015 #60

And you, have what evidence to call out Reid as a liar in his OFFICIAL statement? None, obviously hlthe2b Jan 2015 #64

Republicans put out OFFICIAL statements all the time. former9thward Jan 2015 #67

So Reid is now a "REPUBLICAN"--really? You want to say THAT instead of acknowledging your mistake? hlthe2b Jan 2015 #70

Please do a cut and paste where I said Reid is a Republican. former9thward Jan 2015 #74

I already did so... Your statement is included in my post. I guess you don't read ANYTHING, do you? hlthe2b Jan 2015 #75

So you accept all statements from Ds without thinking? former9thward Jan 2015 #77

I think you are clearly in the wrong place if you intend to call out Dems as Liars with NO PROOF hlthe2b Jan 2015 #78

Please do a cut and paste to where I called anyone a Liar. former9thward Jan 2015 #85

You have already proven yourself unwilling to take responsibility for your mistakes and lacking hlthe2b Jan 2015 #91

Yup DeadLetterOffice Jan 2015 #143

Even though the poster was attacking me former9thward Jan 2015 #114

No, SOME "older people" blame the equipment, so you're assuming that just because he's "older"... George II Jan 2015 #117

Please do a cut and paste to where I called anyone a Liar. former9thward Jan 2015 #119

When you imply that someone isn't telling the truth about something.... George II Jan 2015 #124

And I think "ageist" is code for "don't criticize Hillary". earthside Jan 2015 #161

It could also be code for "Don't criticize Bernie" or "Don't criticize Elizabeth" in actual fact. MADem Jan 2015 #162

People running for President should not be SS eligible when they run. former9thward Jan 2015 #88
