Why in the world are you running to JimRob for a pat on the head because of my comment?

Good grief, first off, I did not say anything about supporting Romney.

Secondly, my entire post was a comment on the ridiculous analytical framework of the article and the condescension involved in claiming that people with whom one disagrees are not thinking for themselves.

You, obviously, think otherwise. And you seem perfectly comfortable with the delusion that the only reason someone might disagree with you on who is the best candidate is that they are mind-numbed robots.

Sorry. I recognize and accept that most people are able to think for themselves and do. I don't need a bunch of psychobabble hooey to help me deal with the fact that people disagree with me sometimes. I don't condescend to people who reach different conclusions from me. I accept that they have their reasons and, if I am so inclined, I engage those reasons and set out countervailing arguments.

But to write an article about how a whole state is full of people unwilling to think for themselves — as “evidenced” by the fact that people are not supporting “your” candidate — is, in my view, a wagonload of lamentable tripe.

But suit yourself.

"a wagonload of lamentable tripe" is your arrogant reply to me. Oh, did I mention "condescending"? You are the one who called folks "mind-numbed robots, you obviously are ignorant of the FR custom of pinging a FReeper when he is mentioned in a post which is why JR was mentioned....{DARN, now I have to ping him again!)

"Why in the world are you running to JimRob for a pat on the head because of my comment?"

For some reason you seem to believe I wrote the article heading the thread, which I did not.

And you seem perfectly comfortable with the delusion that the only reason someone might disagree with you on ..anything....is that they are mind-numbed robots.

Quoting you again.."if I am so inclined, I engage those reasons and set out countervailing arguments."...full of hostility and "condescension".

But suit yourself.
