    Nope. I paint a majority of an entire party as idiots because they have demonstrated that they hold idiotic beliefs. It's that simple.

    My tone is not the problem. The problem is that a majority of a major party believe really stupid, hateful ****.

    Of course it is. Take it from this agnostic.

    Yes, it is. Care to show how it isn't? I've already stated how/why.

    What law school do you go to, btw? Just curious, my application decisions are coming back soon and I'm a nervous pervous. :(

    I'm not going to harp on the "not sure" bull**** anymore because, frankly, engaging in such discourse necessitates appearing 50% as silly and ignorant as those making the argument to begin with.

    I'm not sure where human dignity fits within this story, but I would imagine that any remaining iota of it fell screaming to its death when 24% of self identified republicans thought Obama "wants the terrorists to win" and 33% were not sure. Human dignity? I don't need to be respectful to the ignorant -that's malarky. If you're wrong, you're wrong. End of story. The facts do not have bias.

    Yes it excludes you. Duh. That's damn near the point of the bloody poll! You (a self-identified conservative) cannot identify as a republican, even though they (as a poltical party) are supposed to represent you!

    You really have no reason to be offended, just seriously concerned.

    *shrugs*
    Maybe (or is that "not sure"?)

    Yeah, it's a shame. You're usually so reasonable and intelligent. :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't be if it were basso, giddyup, or any of the other "purposefully obtuse" posters.

    But twhy77 is an ok guy and I enjoy jabbing back and forth with him.

    I'm defending the content the poll (and to a lesser extent, you), in case you haven't noticed. :)

    Fair enough - but it's still an outrageous argument by any standard. And I agree that twhy is an allright fellow.

    I went back and checked the threads you've started in the past, and I was shocked at how many were one-liners (or in some cases, no liners)... its a pet peeve of mine, no matter who is doing it. Even if they copy/paste some article or video that is awesome and substantial, but that is so rarely the case in here :(

    I really shouldn't have gotten into the argument.

    Batman, just don't be a jackass. You're better than that.

    It's good to see that your highly inflated ego made it through your accident without a scratch. I was pretty worried.

    Rally sons of Notre Dame:
    Sing her glory and sound her fame,
    Raise her Gold and Blue
    And cheer with voices true:
    Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
    We will fight in ev-ry game,
    Strong of heart and true to her name
    We will ne'er forget her
    And will cheer her ever
    Loyal to Notre Dame

    Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
    Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
    Send a volley cheer on high,
    Shake down the thunder from the sky.
    What though the odds be great or small
    Old Notre Dame will win over all,
    While her loyal sons are marching
    Onward to victory.

    No, but you're welcome to lump me in with the maybes. Which is exactly what I did.
