THe tea party shows their "intelligence"

[Populist_Prole]

25. That's a perfect summation

I see that all the time with certain people and it drives me up a wall: Switching to another topic after being proved wrong. Often this will happen multiple times as they pull one topic after another out of their bag of talking points. I've found they'll either do this either to distract/deflect or in hopes of finding one I'll agree on. The latter will occur with people who have over time moved right ( as I moved left ) and are desperate to find some of any residual conservatism in me.

Example, a true one: Him in italics. Me in standard.

Friggin Obama, did you hear he wants to ban regular ( incandescent ) light bulbs and make us use CFLs?...and they're made in China!

No, that's some shit Rush Limbaugh said. In any case, I want to know, aren't the incandescents made in China too?

Well....uh...I don't know but....

Well don't you think maybe you might find out before making a claim like that? Not only that, I thought you were some big supporter of free trade and whatnot; Now you're getting all patriotic over light bulbs?

Yeah well....you'll see what happens when he takes away your social security before you get old enough to use it

( annoyed/surprised tone ) What the fuck are you talking about? It was the GD REPUBLICANS that wanted it on the table with all their budget deficit hysteria bullshit! Don't you even pay attention?

( angry gruff tone ) He's gonna take away your guns...you just watch! you just watch!
