Well, Rintense started with the name calling, and has yet to refute a single, solitary thing in post 120, so the natural thing to do is go crying to Jim, when intellectual discourse is an epic fail. Of course, Jim Rob despises McCain as much, if not more so than I do.

You stated facts. The facts were not refuted and cannot be refuted. That translates into a fatal logic error for those who are incapable of debating beyond a list of talking points.

Everyone despises McCain, including myself. Problem is, you and others will condemn a good conservative for supporting him.

You have no intellectual discourse. What you do have is a floating, evolving standard for those who endorse RINOs. Because you hate McCain the most, you change your standards for him and anyone who supports him.

That isn't intellectual. It's making an excuses. Now, if you simply applied the same litmus test to everyone who endorsed, supported a RINO, you'd have no argument from me. I may disagree with you, but at least you'd be consistent in thought and common sense.

But when you go from 'supporting any RINO means you're a RINO' to 'McCain is a more evil RINO than ROmney' to 'it only counts if the person has power', it becomes nothing more than the condition/excuse-laden reasoning we've become accustomed to in DC, and something more along the lines of liberal thinking than anything else.
