More than Obama.
Regards my tagline;
I don’t keep track of the mean spirited Cruz posters who congregate on the Walker threads, so I have no idea if you are one or not. I simply call them ‘The Cruz Contingent’.
The mere fact that you commented on the tagline as you did would indicates that you are probably NOT one of those who I pointed at.
If you were, your response would be more along the lines of what I got a long time ago. I am paraphrasing, but I’m not far off from the actual words used. It went something like this, ‘We don’t have time to convince you about Cruz, get the hell out of our way’.
Compare nearly any Cruz thread with nearly any Walker thread. You’ll see a very large number of Cruz ‘re-educators’ on the Walker threads, something that doesn’t happen in reverse.
By ‘re-educators’ I’m talking about mean spirited attacks, rather than discussions and questions about political positions. The attacks are worded in such a way that they appear to be designed ‘educate’ the reader not to question the posters knowledge.
To the question I ask in my tagline; from what I’ve seen of Cruz, he isn’t as mean spirited. He appears to be just the opposite.
Which is why I ask the question.
Thank you for your reasoned response.
I’m not always a big fan of some of the comments others make on Walker threads.
I may agree with them, but the wording and tactics wouldn’t be my choice.
That doesn’t mean I don’t think there’s fertile ground there. I just want some real reasons provided. If they are, I have much less of a problem with them.
I put a lot of thought into that line, born out of frustration.
It’s darn near impossible for me to find a thread about my guy Walker without seeing it turned into a shit-slinging contest by the Cruz Contingent.
If Walker is open to criticism on merit, I’m not against it if it is topical on the thread.
For instance I don’t go posting his immigration problem on non-immigration threads.
When the thread heralds his great stance on immigration, I jump in.
I know this is a real pain. It’s the season for it I guess. I don’t want to see this later in the year. Hopefully we won’t have twenty guys heading into the primaries.
You’re in denial. That isn’t what happens.
Even the most cursor glance at the threads can tell you that it turns into a Cruz-Contingent sponsored shit storm.
Have a good evening.
I wasn’t saying what you described doesn’t take place.
I’m not sure why you objected to my response.
Your words sounded like denial to me.
Sorry, I jumped to a wrong conclusion.
I explained in another post that I don’t always agree with other folk’s methods.
Here I more or less explained what guideline I try to go by.
