GOP Pulls Fast One... Tells Dems: Pull Troops Now? Okay, then let's vote!!!!! Tonight. 7 p.m. in House... Ultimate showdown...
Think woman! It was a parody resolution. No sane person would have voted for such a transparent spoof.
PERPETUAL WAR"? Let me see if I get your logic....
I doubt you could. But I'll spell it out for you. You oppose the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. You must want them to stay indefinitely. Thus, perpetual war. That's your policy by default.
We've been in Germany and Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50.
And the analogy is.....?
LOL, understood.
G'night, have a pleasant evening.
Many thanks! :-)
Ya think? LOL
You oppose the rules of logic.
I want it dead and out of here. I ALWAYS go directly for the jugular. hehehehehehehehe
"No sane person would have voted for such a transparent spoof. "
Cynthia McKinney did, as did Wexler and Serrano.
And the whole thing WAS Murthas idea.
He did definitely say to bring the troops home immediately.
But you know that already.
And have conveniently ignored it.
"You oppose the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. You must want them to stay indefinitely."
Never argue from a false premise son.
Also, never make assumptions.
Also, your analogy is false.
The statement is not a tautology.
Sure...go get some popcorn. :-)
i understand. i had a dog for 17 years and it was very, very hard... my husband and i said, no more dogs!
well, it took about 5 weeks for us to get another dog....who's been with us, now, for 9 years. they become like family.
Someone bring me up to speed. Had a show, couldn't listen.
I agree, Txsleuth, 110%. My favorites tonight were the two you picked and Steve Buyer.
"You oppose the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. You must want them to stay indefinitely."
That's like saying that because someone won't own an electric car they hate the environment.
Hyperbole and rhetoric mein freund.

Has Charles left the forum under his own power?
I'm thinking a nice bowl of Friskies.

Nope, he thinks he can argue from a false premise, make a false analogy, and get away with it.
By what strange magic did these words become a "spoof" by being repeated back to the speaker?
If they were a spoof or stunt when repeated, there were a spoof or stunt when first uttered.
I'm curious to know what you mean by "entertain". ;-)
No, that was Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) who drafted the Republican bill. Murtha is Vice Chair of the Armed Services Committee.
