It all started when you cited a poll because it was more verifiable which still remains unproven.

The entire point of my OP was to bring a POSITIVE solution to a secure group to deal with a GD negative which was festering and unresolved. My statement " ALWAYS result in positive motivation" still stands because the festering is not positive motivation.

Negatives and weaknesses produce negative motivations, that's the whole point of negative ads which is to reduce voter turnout, not increase it.

For you to cite a poll to further the festering negative in a safe haven, without a positive solution, is a drowning effort at best.

My claims were quotes, but sometimes the TRUTH hurts.

The problem here is you have no argument, just Purity Ponies
