    "I'm sorry, but your just not keeping up here,a nd throwing out red herrings, and straw men.. I was the one who brought up FISA (among other issues) to illustrate the fact that republicans have stated for years that a right to privacy does not exist. How Obamas vote on FISA mitigates that point is non existent. It has NOTHING to do with my point."

    You say that you were the one who brought up FISA and then when I respond to the ISSUE of FISA you say that I'm the one throwing out red herrings by bringing up FISA?

    No wonder I'm baffled.

    Okay, I understand why I'm baffled. I appreciate that you actually cleared it up for me.

    "Now your just being a moron"

    "Obamas vote...."

    "Let me help you....maybe it'll clear up your whiney snark.."

    "man made gases"

    "'us'.....well"

    "Obamas vote on FISA"

    "The one thing in all your responses you keep AVOIDING."

    "your just clueless"

    Do I understand "context"? Smiling.... Thank you for your response. It helps to understand that the problems one is having here is as simple as what you amply betray in your message there.

    Do I understand "context"? Lord help us. I'm assuming you probably don't know why I highlighted those quotes from your message. That's okay. I do. And trust me, coupled with your question regarding "context," well, priceless.

    Going now to leave you with your "context," your "argument" and other grammatical atrocities.

    I was going to say thank you for an enjoyably goofy "argument," but on the other hand it's demonstrably sad.

    The lack of complexity here is astonishing...

    "You have pretended that the only feminist issue in this election is abortion, and thrown out the typical PUMA line about how you're tired of that being held over your head..."

    No, I haven't pretended that the only feminist issue in this election is abortion. I haven't even suggested that. What I have said is that I'm tired of both parties holding women hostage for votes over that issue. If you don't agree with that assessment, well fine. That's your prerogative. I'm not saying you have to. It's what I see happening every election and I'm sick to death of it. It's pretty simple really.

    What do I stand for? Should we start demanding everybody here print up a list of everything they stand for before we engage? Fine. Let's start.

    You first.

    But before you do that, I find it interesting that this place has turned into a place where a few folks find it perfectly comfortable to say things like, "we think" whatever. Since when do "we" think anything? The last time I looked, *I* think for myself.

    I'd invite you all to start there.
