I didn’t shake the truther doll, sorry.

But I did compare some of the arguments here with DU, Kos and HP, because, doggone it, it fits.

The very fact that this is virtually the only place where it is discussed, outside of a few other lesser blogs, is testimony to that.

If it had any credible legs at all, it would be picked up in other places, including people, sites, or commentators who have some standing with many, if not a majority of conservatives.

The empirical evidence, Kevmo, is that no one, not one, outside of some posters on FR and a few minor bloggers has picked up on this story.

What is “provable” is that a majority of credible conservatives have avoided this issue like the plague.

And I go back to my original point...there is a reason.

Like it or not, that’s how it is.

As to Alan Keyes suit, California Electors have been served, so we’ll see how that turns out.

So your argument is that the big names haven't yet told you what to think yet, so you cannot think it?

Are you seriously saying that if those in positions of influence don't argue in favour of something you will refuse to give it a second thought?

The Supreme Court is also discussing it. That should count for something.

So???

Rathergate.

The borders & illegals.

Swift Boat Vets.

To name a few similar "topics" where a few turned out to be right and were lamblasted until the table turned. So what if this doesn't get MSM or FR poster support. So what!! A million threads later... so what. It isn't going to be dropped, it is that pesky constitution and our Republic, FRupid.

***Well, aren’t you the lucky one? I see your argumentation has tightened up, a little bit. You should be grateful to me... At any rate, you are correct about provability, majority and credible conservatives... but that’s only one thing you happen to be right about. Downthread are some examples where the majority of credible conservatives didn’t lend weight to something that turned out to be true, so I don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Except I note that Paula Jones isn’t on the list, and it’s because of her that Clintoon was impeached. So you might want to just start using that newfound critical thinking skillset you’re developing and look into this high-leverage constitutional crisis, using your God-given brain instead of letting some paid tongue waggers do your thinking for you.

Oh, and you blew it by returning to the vomit of your original argument from silence. Like it or not, that’s how it is: It’s still a classic logical fallacy, so learn to stop using it.
