Debates Don't Always Reveal Character.

But interested parties would post here!

But he needed to post the sentence out of context so more people would agree with him.

He seems intent on having the last word, and the word after that and the word after that, until he forces his personal interpretation onto my words. Sounds a bit like what Palin wants to do, eh?

It's very annoying, I must admit.

Just vote for Ralph Nader and it won't matter! Run Ralph Run!!! A Connecticut native needs your vote.

Voting for Ralph Nader truly doesn't matter!

It matters to Ralph!

Then let's give Ralph one of these... he can get his jollies that way:

Here are the lines I was referring to, which read as excuses:

"My father, a bona fide war hero, was trying to adapt to a format of discourse utterly foreign to him."

"The debate hall was noisy, hot and nasty."

"My mom took a bad fall just before coming out to sit down."

"My dad arrived with his family and one coach at the last minute."

"We were put in an RV just off the stage."

"Dad entered the race reluctantly..."

Taylor is indeed Admiral Stockdale's son.

From "He was a fighter-pilot ace..." until "...to live in solitary confinement", surely. The first half was a bunch of excuses about Admiral Stockdale's performance, and the final quarter included excuses-in-advance for Palin.

Bicker, Dude, you have a wierd nack for finding things that just aren't there.

 

[bicker]

If they weren't there, I wouldn't have been able to find them. I do have a knack for raising issues that people who disagree with me find uncomfortable.

but I think you're very lonely in your discovery....

 

[bicker]

No, not at all. Roughly 50% of the country see things the way I do, when they think about it. Is this really the right thread to discuss what you've brought up though? I ask because it seems to be a very common tactic, these days, for folks unable or unwilling to discuss an issue on its merits to try to turn the discussion away from the issue and instead try to make it about the people discussing the issue.

I remember the debate Stockdale participated in. I supported Perot instead of one of the mainstream candidates. Even after the disasterous debate I still voted for Perot. Unfortunately, many of those voting for Perot would have voted for Bush instead - taking votes away from him and unwittingly assisting in the beginning of the debacle of the Clinton administration. Yikes that's where the actions that started the mess we're in today started!

8 pages later and guess what? Palin is still no Stockdale.
