I decline the proxy. I left this fight a couple weeks ago. If Club really doesn't understand that sometimes senators vote against a bill, not because they're opposed to the primary subject of the legislation, but because some other senator has attached an unpalatable amendment, then he's not knowledgeable enough to debate with. If Club is merely being disingenous, he's not worth wasting my time on. If he's merely being obtuse and intellectually dishonest, then let him just play with himself and we can move on to other things.

Translation: Club got the better of Wonk in the debate and now Wonk has resorted to ad hominem attacks.*

*Ty invented that.

Dissent. I loathe and detest Wanker with every fiber of my being, but I don't think club got the better of him in the debate in question. club is being disingenuous, or parroting the party line without thinking about it.

What you might want to consider, instead of spewing this blather, is why your sort insisted we give rights to the killers at Gitmo, and let them go back. Do you know we have had to recapture or kill several of these guys? do you feel better about the bill of rights, or worse about your inability to understand what this war means?

Because people who truly believe what you have written above are the real enemy,, and a far greater threat to our democracy. As it so happens, Hank, I don't think you really believe this. I think you're just trolling, which makes you more pathetic than dangerous.

It wasn't really a debate. It was club mouthing sound bites and wanker sort of trying to tell him that he while what he said was factually true, it was not the whole story and therefore was a misrepresentation.

Kind of like when if I said, "Hank once whacked his wife in the head with his elbow, and has thrown her on the ground a bunch of times!" See, that makes you seem like a wifebeater. Now, if I also said "In the course of disarming a mugger attacking his wife, Hank's elbow hit her in the head, and did you know, isn't it eccentric, at holidays their families play tackle football" then it shows that while you have injured your wife a lot, it wasn't in the wifebeating way.

God. Now I'm sucked into this morass of crap.

I'm out.

1.) is this, like, stalking?
2.) A Don Martens in that same transcript? That's weird.

Hello

For those who wouldn't know this, the second or third largest IP firm in California is Knobbe Martens sumthin sumthin, and the Martens is a very well known guy named Don Martens. They are OC based.

He(if I had to do it all over again, I'd have gone to UCI)llo

would you quote the parts that make me dangerous. some of it was simply factual, so I need some focus before I can reply.

Apparently I am not knowledgable enought to debate with, wasting your time, obtuse and intellectually dishonest, and playing with myself, all at the same time.

So many of the Dem's responses circle around this "you're below contempt, and I won't respond" model, because their answers are lacking. Take it as a compliment.

That's stupid. The two of you are so much alike, it's not funny.

Wonk, I truly believe you would have been sitting in the south of france, insisting that the allied forces question each kraut, and, if they gave the right answers, release them back over the lines.

At some point, nuance is just fucking stoopid. (Look, I used the special FB spelling!)
