Jeffords is not likely an idiot. The things he points out in his article, regardless of his political agenda for saying them now, are all somewhat true. You couldn't contradict them, so you attacked Jeffords and past Dems and the Dem party, throwing blame around for the past 40 years' wrongs in this Country. Surely you don't expect me to believe you are niave enough to think the issues are so simple you can pin all that wrongdoing on one party.
true enough, I attacked him by calling him an idiot and pointed out his hipocracy and his weasely methods but I also pointed out that his whole assumption was false and that all he was doing is twisting the issue to try and help his "latest" party's election campaign chances.
The truth is that these are problems, and they need to be addressed.
As well, even if Jeffords is playing them now as a political ploy, it's a pretty smart one, again undercutting your belief in his idiocy.
That deserved a wave? I would say that there is every bit as much evidence that jeffords is an idiot as there is that Bush is one [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just don't believe you read the article and thought the issues through before you replied - as evidenced by the number of replies you typed up - a new one added following each new post you read. You had your stance and then tried to make your argument fit it. B- work at best.

Actually I did read the article. I read it before too when he switched parties touting them as his platform of concern way back then. What I said is true. This country spends enough money to educate half the known universe annually, there is no need to confiscate ever increasing amounts of capital to fund the fraud, waste and abuse. Jeffords knows this, every one of those blathering widbags on capitol hill knows it, they just refuse to do anything about it because it doesnt play into their plans for implementing the "victim" mentality on the general populace.
By the way, I will note that you didn't manage to discredit anything I said...just criticized me for having said it. [img]smile.gif[/img] cheers!
