This is my evening for short notes

If McCain has really selected Romney as running mate, he deserves anything that could happen to him. He has the opportunity of winning against the odds, and he has thrown it away.

Whom would you have McCain choose? I admit to not being terribly well-versed in politics, so am interested in your opinion.

I dealt with this issue before, here: http://fpb.livejournal.com/314527.html and here: http://fpb.livejournal.com/327659.html. I think if you read these two articles, I think you will have a clear understanding of my view.

So, is this opinion because you dislike Romney's politics or his religion?

McCain wants Michigan very badly, and it's not impossible that Romney could help him get it. Plus, Romney has shown he has no pesky political convictions that might clash with McCain's.

Now don't you regret you said this?

[jamesenge.livejournal.com]

Um. No. Why would you think I might?

Because you made the stupid assumption that McCain had no principles, that he would go for someone similarly unprincipled, and that only Democrats (when they aren't selling their principles down the river to score a few cheap points against Mark Foley) have any principles. But then, being plainly wrong in point of fact does not bother you. The Constitution According to jamesenge reads as follows:

Art.1) Republicans are wrong.

Art.2) Republicans are always wrong.

Art.3) In the highly unlikely event of there being anything to be said in favour of anyone or anything Republican, Articles one and two will be invoked.

As always, you resort to putting words in my mouth that I never said and never would. (Unlike you, I have been in a position to vote for Republicans and have done so).

It's a dishonest and cowardly way to argue.

So what is your justification for getting it completely and aggressively wrong?

P.S.: You do not seem aware of the difference between argument and mockery. I am not arguing with you; I am mocking you. Someone who gets it so completely and arrogantly wrong, wrong in detail and for the wrong reasons, deserves to be mocked. If you don't like being mocked, don't invite it.

"You do not seem aware of the difference between argument and mockery."

With you there never is any difference.
