If You Believe In It, Why Not Say It?
I've met and debated or discussed politics with three types of liberals in my life. The first two I understand. One isn't very forward with their opinions, if you want to discuss it, fine, if not, also fine. The other is very forthright about what they think, to the point of always bringing it up whenever the opening presents itself. As I said, I understand both personalities, it is simply a matter of how fervent one is, or perhaps how evangelical one is.
The third type, I don't get at all. This is the time that gets mad when you dare publicize what they think.
I recently made an entry here, remarking how much fun it would be to help the 73 Democrats in the House who want us out of Iraq to get their message out. Well, LifeLike Pundits has attracted a brand-new troll, who immediately launched into (false) ad hominem attacks in the comment section of that post, and seemed to want to split hairs about whether or not these 73 individuals wanted to defund the war, or simply get out (which they could only accomplish by defunding it - hey, it was his difference, not mine).
What didn't he do? He didn't deny that these 73 people wanted OUT. But he got angry that I dared mention it.
What spawned this? What made him produce his bile? I don't know, but he is not the first liberal I have noticed that has done this. They believe they are right, but get furious when you mention what they actually stand for.
Sounds like insecurity to me.

You said 70-odd Democrats promised to defund the war.
That wasn't, and isn't, true.
You lied.

Paul,
Rangle has no intention of funding this war, UNLESS, the republicans vote for several trillion dollar welfare packages amended to the war spending bill.

So say that, and not the other thing.

paul,
The get-out-of-Iraq coalition can only accomplish that goal by defunding the process. I thought I explained this before, but I will do so again. The strongest power that the Legislative branch ahs is the spending power. Therefore they can stop anything by defunding it, and sometimes that is the only way they can do so - like here. If they promise to stop it, they are promising to defund it.
But again, I'm getting sidetracked over semantics. Why won't the Democrats honestly run on running? You want to say I lied by linking directly to an article (my, what a foolish liar I am), fine. I'm not getting bogged down in that.
Why can't the Democrats honestly run on what they want to do?
Why can't the Demcorats say what they plan to do if they gain power in the House?
Why can't the Demcorats be honest about their legislative agenda?
