Nonsense.
When close to half of FreeRepublic has not decided where they stand on the issue, you cannot say there is a fracture. Talk to me when the largest percent of the vote doesn't fall under the category of "undecided".
First, I'll note that it's disingenuous to suggest that 35% undecided is "close to half", but that seems to be SOP for you on this thread. However, at least we finally have a working definition of "fractured" - you assert it's when the a plurality of voters have decided one way or the other. Presumably, you'd state that the second-largest bloc would vote the opposite way.
That's a fair definition. Personally, I disagree. Even if all the undecideds break in one direction, you're still talking about 1/3 of this site in disagreement with the rest. A pretty large contingent given the relative uniformity of thought usually found here.
Yeah, when I went back to retrieve my response for AndyJackson, I noticed you've been here all along. I overestimated your powers of comprehension and retention. See my response to AndyJackson for the answer to your question.
Now I remember reading it. The fact that I forgot about it should tell you more about how memorable your comment was than whether I have the abilities of comprehension and retention. I notice that your "definition" in fact states that it can't be defined, yet you continue to use that term in later posts.
Personally, I prefer not to use ambiguous terms in support of my comments. It would hurt my credibility. But hey, to each his own...
You're right. Logic should only work when you want it to.
"First, I'll note that it's disingenuous to suggest that 35% undecided is "close to half", "
I am only refering to the data from FreeRepublic Members. The non-member contribution tends to get "Freeped" by people from DU. 40.7% of Freepers remain undecided.
"However, at least we finally have a working definition of "fractured" - you assert it's when the a plurality of voters have decided one way or the other."
No. I assert it cannot be determined until a plurality of voters have decided one way or another.
"I prefer not to use ambiguous terms in support of my comments."
lol. Interesting then that you are the one declaring "the conservative party" is "fractured".
