    AKA

    The motive is irrelevant. The end result is the same.

    NYDem08 is actively working to prevent Obama from being elected. I don't care if he/she is a Republican, a PUMA, a Naderite, or a Klingon. The end result is the same, a third Bush term. That is UNACCEPTABLE. I repeat:

    That

    is

    NOT

    ACCEPTABLE.

    And I have no problem countering NYDem08's ham-handed and deceptive sophistry with hyperbole and ridicule. This person's argument is not anchored in any form of rational thought whatsoever. You may choose to coddle the idioticaly insane, but I refuse to.
