He didn’t say that. If he had SAID it, it wouldn’t be a “suggestion”, it would be a “statement”. I wonder after today whether anybody actually understands english, much less the art of sarcasm, parody, and hyperbole.
Gingrich, according to the article, said “”What a crowd. I’m really impressed. There must be no one left at Wal-Mart this afternoon.”
Taken literally, which apparently everybody here is doing way too much, he said that the only people who shop at Wal-Mart are republicans who would come to one of his campaign events.
See, if democrats shopped at WalMart, the store wouldn’t be empty because of people being at his rally. And if republicans shopped elsewhere, there’d be more stores than just Walmart empty.
Anyway, this is a “Gingrich” thread. I don’t normally end up in a Gingrich thread, but when the person who POSTS the “pro-Gingrich” thread can’t think of anything but negative Santorum stuff to say in the first comment, and posts rediculous arguments against Santorum, I decided to respond.
I’ve re-iterated that response, and I don’t care about the Walmart comment, and won’t discuss it any more.
Your argument is flawed and inept- or in your new invention “rediculous” (4 times in 4 posts— try ridiculous) - Since you have no basis of knowing the political affiliation of the people who attended-you have no foundation for your hallucination.
Secondly, in my original post, I quoted Santorum directly- and based on the content of the quote- I called him classless. I had never said anything negative about the guy- but in reading this quote- there was only one conclusion to be drawn.
You then claimed that my interpretation of the quote was bizarre and disgusting— but you refuse to tell him how else Santorum’s quote can/should be interpreted.
You constantly operate in this way— you distort posts in order to provoke a confrontation- attack posters personally- and then run from the confrontation..
Frankly, that’s not very “classy”.
Oh charles, you and I have had many meaningful exchanges on Gingrich threads.
