Rockingham wrote (Post #226):

Power for the sake of conservative governance. Reagan did it, and it can be done again.

EternalVigilance responded (Post #236):

You're gathering power up in the name of some non-existent "Reagan,"

Another straw man argument, EV. Rockingham did not say that we need to gather power in Reagan's name, but that just as Reagan did it once, we can do it again.

Rockingham wrote (Post #258):

The House has 31 GOP members with 100 per cent American Conservative Union ratings for 2008, and the Senate has 1 GOP member with a 100 rating and two more with 96 per cent ratings. Most of these GOP Congressmen are notorious for being the no compromises type,

EternalVigilance responded (Post #259):

ACU ratings are a joke. Sucker bait. Coordinated political cover for incumbent Republicans. But, in any case, you just pulled a bait and switch. You said Senator, not House members.

No bait-and-switch, EV. Rockingham clearly mentions House members first.

You're right. I stand corrected. That's what I get for posting on the fly while I'm traveling. :-)

“Another straw man argument, EV. Rockingham did not say that we need to gather power in Reagan’s name, but that just as Reagan did it once, we can do it again.”

EV’s modus op is always the straw man and the shift-o-rama.
