More importantly, I find zk to have a significant streak of hypocrisy.

Bullshit. I shall explain why that’s bullshit below. And I defy you find a single instance of my being hypocritical in the decade plus that I’ve been on this forum.

I especially take issue with the hypothetical from the perspective of some unidentified (probably zk – like) smart guy trying to prevent the rube from Iowa being duped in NY. This post DRIPs with prejudice and bias, which I thought was what everyone was accusing the Trumpers of.

You say I’m hypocritical and your only justification is I suggested a guy from Iowa might be a rube? It was a device. I thought that was pretty obvious. I guess I have to spell everything out for you. . . . . [/quote] Etc.

Love the hypothetical – shill’s, NY, perfume, condoms, etc. Here you go – I will admit that some people are gullible and some people use denial to deal with their problems. And I can think of a very famous example that loosely follows your hypothetical: Hillary Clinton – if you make the condom receipt the blue dress. I think by your analysis you would decide she was gullible, but I’m not sure because, frankly, it was sort of rambling and weird.

Do I believe that gullibility and/or denial are used more often by members of one political party versus another? No. Do I think you are hypocritical? Yes – but you don’t want to believe it (I think that makes you like the wife that doesn’t believe her husband is cheating – but again, rambling and weird). Do I have the time or inclination to address each of your (many) points? No. So I guess we will just have to agree to “disagree”.
