It refreshing to know that at least ONE person in all of government is actually trying to do what he said he would do!!!

Gaffer, when you see that many posts taking you to task, it’s time to admit that you may have misspoken. The onus isn’t on the post-reader to understand it for the poster. The poster must be clear in what he wants to present or suffer the slings and arrows of righteous indignation.

I recommend clarifying your comments and not taking the criticism too personally.

>> bla bla bla it’s time to admit that you may have misspoken yadda yadda

Oh horse puckey. I understood him upon first reading to mean Boner and McChinless and the rest of the bozos in Congress — not Cruz.

But then, like most freepers, I am blessed with enough intelligence to read for meaning and actually, like, follow a thread.

Maybe you should practice that and see what happens.

Gentlemen, check your blood pressure. You two are wound up so tightly, you’re a stroke risk. We’re supposedly all FRiends here. With friends like you, though, who needs enemas?

Lighten up. My post was meant as a gesture of FRiendship. Yours... not.

Put me down as one more that thinks your wording was poor.

“Manly lore suggests that in order for one to have ‘courage’ he must first have testicles. All fine and dandy, but he still needs a spine from which to hang all that.”

Your statement that “he still needs a spine” was most likely referring to your hypothetical man “in order for one” in the first half of the quote... but when you use a vague pronoun “He”, it is quite easy to interpret that as directed towards the person named in the title of the thread.

I don’t think that was your intent, but your wording... could have been a lot better.

I’ll try being nicer, if you’ll try being smarter.

Deal?

Jesus......show me the word “Cruz” in my post. Go read my reply to Cyberant.

This thread is about Ted Cruz. You posted the following without clarification:

All fine and dandy, but he still needs a spine from which to hang all that.

The implication is that you were saying that Ted Cruz needed a spine to hang his balls from.

So next time be a little more clear before you hit the POST button.

And don't call me Jesus.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.....

Maybe I was mistaken. But only mistaken in the fact I thought people here could think of anything beyond their own penchants for nit picking.

As far as “directed towards the person named in the title of the thread”, how about reading the post to which I responded?

NOTHING I have ever posted has been critical of Ted Cruz. Why in this case would anyone assume I actually thought what you mistakenly inferred?

I'm done bantering with you. I'm on this forum to discuss the issues of the day, not your issues. Good bye.

I didn’t realize you were the be-all and end-all of thread interpreters.

Had I intended to convey my distaste for Cruz, I probably would have reply to the thread first-post instead of the general context of “Congress” in post #2. I gave my explanation - deal with it.

The vast majority of Freepers pulled the lever for Romney and McCain, and will do the same for whichever RINO is nominated in 2016.

Wow! Just ten short minutes ago you were on the forum to rag on Gaffer about “your” issues. See? You’re getting smarter already!

>> I’m done bantering with you.

Praise the LORD!

Bye now.

“The vast majority of Freepers pulled the lever for Romney and McCain, and will do the same for whichever RINO is nominated in 2016.”

Not this FReeper! Not again; not State, local, or federal. Any vote for a GOP candidate, outside of the likes of Cruz, directly or indirectly supports the eGOP. I won’t be doing that anymore.

Pretty clear neither one of them is the type to do that. They're just going to keep flinging feces like feral monkeys in a cage. See you on a less-polluted thread.
