		<description>I&#039;ve been very consistent and clear in the points I&#039;ve made about the RNC.  I have no reason, nor need, to drag democrats or anybody else into this to make points about the failures of the RNC. The democrats didn&#039;t make them do what they did.

I don&#039;t believe 75 did comprehend my post as you say. That&#039;s precisely why, when I brought up the point, he reposted his quote again: 

â€œI mean honestly, what kind of idiot brings Barney Frank into a &lt;b&gt;discussion of deviant malfeasance&lt;/b&gt; to make HIS argument?â€

Now he wants to pretend he didn&#039;t actually mean that the way it sounds, that he somehow actually understood my post was NOT about deviant malfeasance, that my reference to B Frank was not concerning deviant malfeasance. Then, he asks me to explain it to him because he doesn&#039;t understand and is still waiting for an answer. ROTFL.

So, no, Whippet1, 75 did not comprehend the post and the point I was trying to make as you say you did. B. Frank has been in more than one election. I assumed most people would know that, but I&#039;ll clarify &quot;that&quot; too since its apparently needed.  The &quot;point&quot;  was not about any malfeasance. It was about what happens when politicians say one thing, make it part of their platform, commit, mandate and trust with votersâ€” then betray &quot;that&quot; very thing. How that makes it even worse for them, and a worse betrayal for voters. I believe I mentioned Spitzer in that as well...since he too was introduced into this by way of comparison earlier.   

B Frank was brought up earlier in another context...one that I did NOT make, but was accused of making.  And while 75 was not the one who named B Frank in that context,  he DID name Murtha (another democrat) in the same context.  I assume now he wants to blame me for that too.  Or somehow doesn&#039;t see the irony of it. LOL. 

It was you 2 who kept trying to drag &quot;democrats&quot; into this as if somehow  it was remotely pertinent to what failings republicans have. 
When I dare mention that fact, you  got upset, suggested that you never said such a thing. And yet post after post you continually bring up what the democrats do, how I&#039;m being unfair because I don&#039;t focus my attention on democrats, why don&#039;t I post a long list of democrats...etc., etc., and acting like children. 

It would be sad, if it were not so amusing.   I&#039;m pointing out, that RNC has failed BY THEIR OWN principals and standards.  B Frank has nothing to do with why they failed. Nor does any other democrat who lives and votes by principals that perhaps you and I might find unlike our own.  I could have used anybody to show that. I used him because his name had already been brought up in another context. I felt that reintroducing him, in a different context, would make the point I was &quot;trying&quot; to make...stronger.  Whippet tries yet again to make a comparison point with DNC corruption vs RNC corruption and 75 misses the point entirely, then  blames me for his own lack of comprehension. sigh.

Finally, principals are not arguments by comparison. You either live by them or you don&#039;t.  You aren&#039;t going to define your own principals and live by them by getting in the gutter and kicking others out. Think about that for a while.</description>

		<description>Oh, he/she will be just fine. Gutter snipes assume those who aren&#039;t won&#039;t get their hands dirty. I rather enjoy stepping into the gutter occaisionally and kicking them around...keeps them on their toes.</description>

		<description>75,
Did you get that DC wasn&#039;t using Barney Frank to describe typical dispicable behavior?  I did... I commented on it...even sent a link clarifying that his use of Barney Frank as being elected while openly a gay man was not  entirely true, only after he caught caught in his own little  scandal.  But we wouldn&#039;t want DC to worry his/her little head over the details now would we?

This all kind of let&#039;s us see what the world looks like to people who are always spinning so fast...what a jumbled mess...</description>

		<description>75,
I wouldn&#039;t waste anymore time on DC.  It&#039;s all a game to him.  He picks and chooses from specific discussions and twists and turns what is said to fit what he&#039;s wanting to say, never taking responsibility for anything he has said.  As a matter of fact he uses his own twists and turns to twist and turn others statements!  Way too much spinning for me and it&#039;s making me nauseous...</description>

		<description>Ah...and you are correct. It was VinceP1974 who introduced B Frank into the discussion based on dispicable behavior.  Right after you suggested Murtha (for the same thing).  Sorry for the mix up.  
My apologies to you for suggesting you&#039;d ever do such a thing.  LOL.</description>

		<description>Dc, ...by the way... Vince made the comment below regarding Barney. I feel it necessary he receive credit for such a wonderful retort that you&#039;ve found  necessary to butcher for him.


Dc: Barney Frank isnâ€™t from Illinois 

Left by VinceP1974 on March 9th, 2008</description>

		<description>Oh your point was clear. I don&#039;t have the english composition problems you  do. We all get it. You are the holier than thou arbiter of all decent in the world and yet you feel the need to save only republicans. Too bad too because thanks to the self-annointed like yourself, we will have fewer republicans in office for you to save. 

Well done.</description>

		<description>Ok, lufte75,
 Lets just let you explain it then

I posted about RNC corruption and dispicable behaviors and why they are loosing elections (like in IL).

Your reponse to my post, directed at me... was....Barney Frank does not live in IL.  I took that to mean, you were associating Barney Frank with the behaviors I cited. That this was the point of your post. 
If it was not, then you can explain otherwise and we&#039;ll just let others decide for themselves.

Since you have such great comprehension skills, then perhaps you&#039;ll realize that when I brought up Barney Franks, I was not using him as an example of dispicable behavior.   I&#039;ve been focused on RNC and their corruption and violation of trust. That&#039;s what the post was about. Perhaps you should read it again? 

Your great comprehensive skills seemed to have missed that as the central point.  The person who brought up Barney as an example of dispicable behavior...was you....oh great one.</description>

Oh, that&#039;s priceless!</description>

		<description>Oh..Mr Genius, 

I realize you don&#039;t want to discuss who introduced Barney Frank into this discussion because if we did, you&#039;d be the idiot you have self declared.  And I also, for obvious reasons, realize that this is the question you meant to ask.  Sorry for not playing along.</description>
