So, you have a dictionary that tells you that "mostly" means "a small minority of the total", or that 13 out of 66 would be "for the most part"?

You should probably load up a better dictionary.

When the federal government starts prosecuting Border Patrol agents for taking actions consistent with their job description,

You assume facts not in evidence. If the smuggler was armed and pointed a gun at them, their actions were consistent with their job description. If the smuggler was unarmed, then their actions were illegal, and trying to give them a pass because you like the idea of shooting illegal immigrants makes you the one who is "stretching the law".

And it is a simple fact that suspects are often criminals, and therefore most of the time when police overstep their bounds, the testimony that puts them away will be the testimony of criminals.

But conservatives respect the rule of law, and want police to act within the bounds of the law, not to take the law into their own hands.

BTW, my comment that the 13 Romney threads were "the most I did on any specific topic" was a correction of your statement that I had 14 threads on a specific topic OTHER than Romney. You still haven't told me what specific topic you thought I created 14 threads about.

Their also big issues, or subjects of concern in the minds of most Republicans.

You should get a better dictionary. "big issues" does not equal "subjects of concern". Issue

You will note that none of the 35 definitons is "subjects of concern".

More to the point, you can't discuss "winning the election". You could discuss "how to win the election". We can discuss how to govern in a conservative manner. There is no debate that we should govern in a conservative manner.

You definitely watch too much TV. Its rotted your brain so bad you're throwing American LEO`s under the bus. The word "often" doesn't mean, always, bucko. Ramos and Compean may have deserved to lose their jobs for not reporting the incident. However, being treated like common criminals by the Feds, along with excessive sentencing should scare the crap out of any rational person. Obviously, it doesn't bother you.

Conservatives do respect the rule of law. Conservatives also believe in defending American citizens, who just happen to be US Border Patrol agents doing their job. I'll stand with Ramos and Compean. You can keep defending drug smugglers like Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila and ambitious US Attorney's like that thug Johnny Sutton and his comrade, Deborah Kanoff. You're under an illusion that Sutton didn't engage in wrongful behavior and abused his powers. You're wrong.

Sadly, the case is closed, but it looks like your good buddy, Aldrete-Davila, will be going to jail for 40 years on a 2007 drug related conviction.

>>>>>So, you have a dictionary that tells you that "mostly" means "a small minority of the total", or that 13 out of 66 would be "for the most part"?

Right. The Encarta dictionary says, mostly = "for the most part". Link.

>>>>>BTW, my comment that the 13 Romney threads were "the most I did on any specific topic" was a correction of your statement that I had 14 threads on a specific topic OTHER than Romney. You still haven't told me what specific topic you thought I created 14 threads about.

Wrong. I never posted that you created 14 other threads on a single issue. Those are your words, not mine. I sarcastically posted: "Okay. So, you had 14 other posted threads of your grand total of 66 threads posted in the 50 months you've been a member of this forum, attributed to one other single issue. What is that issue? " That was a redundant remark and a rhetorical question. Which you never answered and for good reason.

You're getting more confused with each post you make. LOL

>>>>>You should get a better dictionary. "big issues" does not equal "subjects of concern".

Wrong again.

Issues = "subjects of concern". Link

I guess the next thing you'll be demanding are definitions for "big" and "specific", as in big issues and specific issues. Fuhgettaboutit!

You having fun yet?

Btw, I'm still waiting for you to tell me why you think "24", "Hobbit hole" and "South Park" are such important issues for this conservative political forum.
