[quote=Aecetia]Very thoughtful eaves and the quote: “They are still missing the boat on what really is pissing off Americans” applies to both parties. I think there is a very anti-incumbent sentiment now, not just anti Democrat or Republican. Both parties have seriously misread the tea leaves and are going to pay a price for their arrogance and for appearing to not care about what is worrying the average American- it is still the economy for most people.[/quote]
Aecetia: A remark you made about boycotting Brian really hit home, and made me think of a similar remark from Hippias to Socrates, when Hippias refused to debate him, saying, “You mock at others, questioning and examining everybody, and never willing to render an account yourself or to state an opinion about anything” (from Xenophon’s “Memorabilia”).
I’m reading this excellent dialogue involving eavesdropper, DJShakes, Jim Jones and yourself and I’m realizing what a horrific waste of time it is to debate an empty suit like Brian.
I also realized that I ignored my own admonition about not teaching pigs to sing (not to be confused with the Gadarene Swine Fallacy, which I think typifies Brian to a T).
So, I’m locking arms with you on this, Aecetia, and boycotting Brian in the name of vanquishing insipidity, vacuity and mendacity the world over. Cheers!
