[quote=Jim Jones][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Jim: I hate to tell you this, but he won’t be answering you. Brian doesn’t like facts. For that matter, his other Leftist confederates, like IForget and Daniel, don’t either. Facts are incredibly bothersome and tend to wreck the rhetoric and polemic that Brian & Company put forth.
He doesn’t answer direct questions, nor, when confronted, does he provide counterarguments or meaningful ripostes.[/quote]
Allan,
I appreciate your response but I really only confront Brian with facts for two purposes.
1) Kill a thread that he has destroyed with non-arguments
2) Hope to get the topic back on discussion.
If I may ask. It was brought up earlier in the thread about Obama’s political strategy to the spill. In light of today’s news conference and the Sestak scandal what do you think is in store for the next couple of weeks?[/quote]
Jim: I frankly don’t know. In light of the Bush/FEMA/Katrina fiasco (and I say that from a PR standpoint, in that I hold the New Orleans first responders and the State of Louisiana primarily responsible for the God-awful handling of that crisis), I would have thought the Obama Machine would have been way out in front of this thing. They’re not, and with every day that passes, the perception of dithering, ineptitude, and incompetence increases.
I’ve caught the Sestak imbroglio only in passing, so I cannot comment there, but was frankly taken aback during the Obama presser by how scattered he appeared. The Left has gone to great lengths to paint Obama as cerebral, but disciplined and capable, and I’m not seeing that.
Shit, things have to be bad when freakin’ Tom Friedman turns on you!
