Then you are depriving us of your wisdom, Cboldt. Senate rules are just that -- rules. They can be changed. And if the Senate rules undermine clear constitutional requirements, then they should be changed.

I agree that the intent of the Constitution is not being followed, and that the Senate is dysfunctional.

As for my wisdom, well, after being told this and similar a few times ...

If not, go away and stop bothering the adults.


Have a good wallow in your own superiority to every thinking person out there.


[You are] someone [who] cannot win through a reasoned argument


You are still JUST thrashing around rather then admit your emotional based position is just so much nonsense.


When the absurdity of your position was pointed out to you, you immediately started whining "you are all just attacking me". No what we are doing is pointing out repeatedly the intellectual vacuity of your arguments. Unfortunately you seem complete unwilling to considering anyone else position but your own. Simply putting your hands over you ears and screaming your opinions over and over and over will NOT help you make the case. You have to actually address the points made to you NOT just keep screaming your opinion over and over and over. Too bad for you that YOU do NOT get to dictate to everyone else what to think. Sorry you find it so difficult to accept reality that your argument is irrelevant.


Thanks for showing your true colors, DUmmy.

... well, I'm just a human too.

Wow. You are one of the most thoughtful, rational, patient and self-controlled people on this forum.

You certainly did not deserve such attacks.

[You are] someone [who] cannot win through a reasoned argument....

People who say these kinds of things are usually the very people who then turn around and prosecute their own arguments (if they even bother to -- assertion is usually as far as such folks ever get) -- on the basis of attribution of nefarious motives to the person with whom they disagree, and other species of ad hominum attack; all conducted with great heat and virtually zero light, in blind devotion to some "orthodoxy" or other.... But such tactics do not represent "reasoned argument."

So don't sweat the small stuff, Cboldt. Thanks for sharing your thoughts....

Cboldt, I thought it was very funny when you started sarcastically using pro-Miers invectives. You have enough moral authority to get away with it. Then others emulated you, and it ceased to be funny.

Some of the language thrown at you was terrible, however. Until yesterday, I was in the wait-and-see camp, but you were the only "Anti" who didn't make me feel like an "enemy". You da man in my book. Unless, of course, you're a woman ;)
