Syncro, all you do is make unwarranted attacks, accuse others of what you yourself are guilty of and act indignant when you’re called out and corrected on the facts. I’d also like to know why my posts were removed in this thread for daring to defend myself against YOU and your derangement. How come YOUR posts aren’t removed for personal attacks and falsehoods alleged against others ? Very curious.
Perhaps your post was removed because it was an over the top personal attack on me which the mods decided was not wanted here at FR.

BTW, I have NEVER hit abuse on anyone for any personal reasons ever.

So I guess maybe someone else saw your sick personal attack on me and reported it.

The second one removed, when I got back to the thread it was already removed, but I imagine it was another attack.

Defend your self against my "derangement" LOL! Nice strawman.

Sorry my posts are so hard to respond to in a decent manner so that you have to make this issue about me instead of it's intended purpost.

Heck, if you really think I am attacking you PERSONALLY on this thread, push abuse on the attack posts.

I can't really find any, but go for it.

It does seem that the first sentence (a quote of yours) applies to you and a couple of other posters rather than me.

1) Not all of them, but their take is the same of many of them

2) Blatently untrue, of course they have

3)LOL of course they do. Bear in mind the tea party is made of of individuals, not like a union where when a “leader” endorses someone everyone must fall in line.

4) Group leaders should not endorese unless all of their members would make the same endorsement. Every tea party member is a leader of the TPM.

Geeze, now we are pimps! Nice comment sideshow guy.

Yeah, I’m from California

Funny, you have no problem with posters from other states posting about WI. If they agree with you it’s alright? Double standard.

Sorry, personal attacks have been leveled against me on this thread. Some were removed, some stayed.

Oh great, another group of posters that send private mail messages to gang up on me. Weak.

LOL, and you beleive what they say? heh

So where are my attacks calling you guys pimps and flacks?

Seems like it is you guys that are calling me disgusting names.

Like I said before, I have nothing to do with the mod actions on this thread. I have not hit the abuse button.

Apparantly someone complained or the mods looked at the thread and saw the childish attacks and removed them.

Press releases are fine, but I like talking to the WI folks. They are a good group of people, and I have seen literally hundreds of them this week that support Neumann.

Absolutely, there are individual Wisconsin conservatives who support Neumann.

Wow, thanks for seeing that!

I think those individuals are being misled by the national TEA Party Express and are making a poor electoral choice.

You don't seem to know what tea party people are like. They are not tools like you seem to think, that they can be led around by the nose as to who to support.

Tea Party people are strong Conservative thinkers that will not be fooled. So many of them support Neumann.

OH and BTW, I have never seen FR modded in the way you suggest.

What a dig to FR and the owner.

Glad you pinged him to that nonsense.

I have been close to being kicked off of FR in the past. Personally got a reply on a thread to KIO by Jim. So I did, and was able to stay around.

Speaking of fear, why are you afraid of my posts that you have to be so angry???

Interesting you don't respond to any of the positive proof that many in WI support Neumann such as in This and several other posts. But you deny any of that happened, so I understand.

First of all, your say-so "proves" nothing.
Second, I've denied nothing.

Third, you understand nothing.

Please see post #48 of this thread where I acknowledged that Neumann has conservative followers. I still say these individuals are a minority within both the GOP and Wisconsin-based TEA Party groups.

This is evident in polling which shows either Thompson or Hovde with pluralities in a 4-man race. Neumann's share of the electorate is smaller than theirs, therefore he has minority support among GOP voters. Crosstabs of those polls indicate similar minority support among those who self-identify as TEA Partiers.

...That was a post to Loud, not you as in the "we" in your response. Unfortunately my post was misunderstood...I'll clear up that little exchange: (from LouD? to Syncro)...'So you think you know better than the grass roots activists of Wisconsin who know all of these guys, who’ve spoken to them many times, who watched them closely in previous positions and know their records? Wow - Presumptuous much? What irony.

(from Syncro to LouD?) Those are the people I have been talking to for several days....You should get out and talk to some of these folks. They like Neumann.

So you see, I have been talking to "the grass roots activists of Wisconsin who know all of these guys, who’ve spoken to them many times, who watched them closely in previous positions and know their records."

I don't know better than they do, I just know that a good many of them support Neumann.

The people you spoke to are NOT grass roots activists. They are just ordinary folks who showed up because they were either:

1) Neumann supporters to begin with, and/or
2) Passive TEA party supporters who were deceived by the national TEA Party Express' shameless attempts to create the false impression that Wisconsin TEA Party groups support Neumann as THE conservative in the Senate race.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, Neumann has ZERO support from high-profile Wisconsin GOP, conservative and/or TEA Party leaders:

- Not a single member of Wisconsin's Congressional delegation (current of former).
- Not a single appointed member of Gov. Walker's administration.
- Not a single member of the State Assembly (current or former).
- Not a single member of the State Senate (current or former).
- Not a single member of the state GOP leadership (current or former).
- Not a single leader from ANY of the local TEA Party groups ANYWHERE in Wisconsin.

Do you want to know who supports Neumann?
- DC Politicians
- DC Lobbyists
- Grover Norquist (who is bought and paid for by Big Business interests)
- and the California-based TEA Party Express

Go back to California, you TROLL! Go talk to people "on the ground" (I still have no clue what you mean by that term) in California.

We don't want or need your "help" in Wisconsin.

I posted:
1) the TEA Party Express DOES NOT speak for TEA Party groups in Wisconsin,

Syncro replied:
1) Not all of them, but their take is the same of many of them.

Not in Wisconsin and not on the TEA Party Express' decision to endorse Mark Neumann. LouD posted multiple press releases above that document that they are NOT on the same page. In fact, as TEA Party Express has continued to ratchet up their unwelcome intrusion into Wisconsin politics, Wisconsin conservative talk radio hosts are reporting that local TEA Party groups are extremely disappointed and even angry at the TEA Party Express. It's quite possible that TEA Party Express' clumsy and ham-handed intrusion will create a backlash against Mark Neumann among local conservatives.

I posted:
2) the national TEA Party Express group has made NO contacts to confer with local Wisconsin Tea Party Groups to determine whom Wisconsin conservatives would prefer to support,

Syncro replied:
2) Blatently untrue, of course they have

Not according to some of the local TEA Party press releases posted by LouD OR reports by local conservative radio talk show hosts.

I posted:
3) no Wisconsin TEA Party groups support Neumann,

Syncro replied:
3)LOL of course they do. Bear in mind the tea party is made of of individuals, not like a union where when a “leader” endorses someone everyone must fall in line.

What part of the press releases from the local TEA groups that explicitly say "our organizations DO NOT endorse any candidate in the primary" did you not understand?

I posted:
4) no Wisconsin TEA Party group leaders have endorsed Neumann individually.

Syncro replied:
4) Group leaders should not endorese unless all of their members would make the same endorsement. Every tea party member is a leader of the TPM.

Then why did California-based TEA Party Express make an endorsement in the Wisconsin primary? Your stated response in #4 is exactly why Wisconsin FReepers are so angry at you and your group's actions!!!!!

Geeze, now we are pimps!

Well, yes. When you repeadtely post TPX press releases that include fundraising solicitations you are "pimping" for TPX.

Funny, you have no problem with posters from other states posting about WI. If they agree with you it’s alright? Double standard.

Nope. As stated above, my issue with your actions are based on YOUR hyoocrisy. If every tea party member is a leader of the TPM and the group or group leaders should not endorese unless all of their members would make the same endorsement, why did TPX choose Neumann when 2 candidates (Hovde & Fitzgerald) with more and better conservative bona fides are in the race?

So where are my attacks calling you guys pimps and flacks? Seems like it is you guys that are calling me disgusting names.>/i>

Not true. I've already addressed your "pimping" for TPX above. And I didn't call you a flack, I asked if you were a paid or volunteer flack for TPX. It's OK to be a flack. It's not OK to be a flack and not admit it.

What YOU have repeatedly done throughout this thread is to call anyone who disagrees with you a "liar." I don't know how things are in California, but those of us from Wisconsin consider being called a liar to be just about the worst thing you can say about a person.

Oh great, another group of posters that send private mail messages to gang up on me. Weak.

My God, you are paranoid. No one is out to get you!

All anyone has asked from you is to show a little respect or deference to Wisconsin FReepers AND/OR to make the argument as to why you choose to support Neumann ahead of 3 other reasonably conservative and qualified candidates.

Saying that you've talked to one person or a hundred people who like Neumann is not a reasoned argument. I feel like I'm asking Sir Ignatius Gumby why he thinks the Battle of Tralfalgar was fought on dry land.

Press releases are fine, but I like talking to the WI folks. They are a good group of people, and I have seen literally hundreds of them this week that support Neumann.

And in my discussions with hundreds of Wisconsin voters, I have tried to disuade the handful who have said they intend to vote for Neumann. When I remind them of all the crap Neumann has pulled in the last few years, remind them of Neumann's 4 defeats for public office, remind them of Neumann's refusal to run for Senate in the last 4 election cycles, and remind them of the superior backgrounds and in-state endorsements of the other 3 candidates, I have almost always changed their intended vote.

"Perhaps your post was removed because it was an over the top personal attack on me which the mods decided was not wanted here at FR."

There was nothing in the post that was over the top. It was responding to YOUR numerous personal attacks, which amazingly have been left up (gee whiz, I wonder why ?). You can dish it, but heaven forbid someone call you out with a little something called "facts", and you completely lose it. I answered you from Jump Street that you were backing a bum candidate and so did other Wisconsin FReepers, and we provided proof to make the claim, and that was it for you. You went bonkers.

This was the second serious mistake you made in backing a Senate candidate. You were rather terse over the Nebraska race and I think some of that personal hostility you have over that mistake continues to poison your sense of perspective. Correcting you once was one thing, but correct you twice ? Oh, no, you weren't gonna take that, and decided to launch into your one-sided flame war.

"BTW, I have NEVER hit abuse on anyone for any personal reasons ever."

Yet both posts were unjustifiably deleted in record time, and the only other posters participating in the thread (whom you also attacked) clearly did not request them removed. Curious. Why is it your posts attacking me and others are allowed to remain ? Again, very curious. You're allowed carte blanche to attack because you lost the argument and I'm not allowed to defend myself ? Nice setup you have there. How fast will this post be removed ?

"So I guess maybe someone else saw your sick personal attack on me and reported it."

"Someone else", huh ? Looks like the shoe fit.

"The second one removed, when I got back to the thread it was already removed, but I imagine it was another attack."

It was a response to your nasty Colonel Klink impersonation. But you know that already.

"Defend your self against my "derangement" LOL! Nice strawman."

You can't handle losing an argument, what can I say ? This is the second bum steer you've given folks.

"Sorry my posts are so hard to respond to in a decent manner so that you have to make this issue about me instead of it's intended purpost."

You made it personal after you lost the argument on Neumann's record and credibility as a candidate and went on a rampage accusing others of being guilty of your classless behavior.

"Heck, if you really think I am attacking you PERSONALLY on this thread, push abuse on the attack posts."

I think your behavior and posts should serve as an example of a Neumann supporter. That's why he has almost zero support on FR as a primary candidate. Congrats on your bang-up job.

"I can't really find any, but go for it. It does seem that the first sentence (a quote of yours) applies to you and a couple of other posters rather than me."

Not in the least. But you are a shining example of projection, why you'd come to such a misguided conclusion.

That is the problem with voters that don’t often have the time to research the history of a given candidate. Neumann may talk a good game, but once they learn of his 20 years as an active office-seeker and his losing record, it’ll give most serious voters pause. He’s closer to the disastrous Sharron Angle in Nevada, who lost two prior winnable races and badly divided the state GOP with her antics.

Folks need to remember that even though Tammy Baldwin is a certifiable moonbat, she’s been in office continuously for almost 27 years and has NEVER lost a race in her rise up from parochial office (and she has faced some strong and credible opponents). Neumann remains the one candidate who could keep Baldwin’s winning record intact.

Man are you paranoid!

You continue to make stuff up to substantiate your baseless attacks on Neumann and me.

Making it personal doesn't further the discussions.

Your constant whining is getting irritating.

Oh, and BTW nothing you say on this thread counts as you are not in Wisconsin.

Isn't that the rule?

Here, call this an attack:

You are a big baby.

See the abuse button?

Click on it and tell the mods that I am being mean to you.

Finally a bonefide attack by me to you!

I see you couldn't find any other ones, as you didn't show me where they are.

Maybe you guys are helping Neumann, he is surging in populatity in WI!

In pimping Neumann, you’re pushing the only candidate that is the most likely to lose to Baldwin. Perhaps you should’ve thought about that before you left California to tell Wisconsin residents whom they should vote for, Zippy. Unless you did and you’re doing this on purpose, like you did in Nebraska.

Listen, Zippy, I may not be in Wisconsin, but a good chunk of my family is or has been. My father was born in Wisconsin, my grandfather, and my great grandfather. My great-great-great grandfather was an early settler of Waukesha County in the 1840s and generations of my family are buried there. I think I’ve more than earned the right to make some comments on Wisconsin. You ? Not so much.

You seem obsessed with using the word “pimp” and “pimping” out of context.

It means selling people for sex.

Is that a part of your life, or do you just like to use derogatory terms to get attention?

There was nothing in the post that was over the top. It was responding to YOUR numerous personal attacks

That is a lie, it was a vicious personal attack, I remember well the jist of it.

Why is it your posts attacking me and others are allowed to remain ?
Probably even though you have been asked to show/link attacks by me, you haven't done so.

If you can't produce my horrible personal attacks on you and your posse it must be because they don't exist.

Prove your statements or back off the lies.

You notice how nobody is coming to your defense ? You could start by apologizing to everyone for #1, acknowledging you’re backing the weakest and most damaged challenger to Baldwin and #2, for viciously attacking others for pointing that out to you. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others for your behavior.

You cannot provide any evidence of my “viciously attacking” anyone.

Your vitriolic posts with lies about my posts are quite revealing.

And caught big time.

Couldn't find any posts to verify your lies could you?

And yes, it is predictable that I will continue to call you out on your lies.

I find your inane posts boring, but you are quite entertaining. That's about it for your contributions.
