[quote=pri_dk]Allan, nobody is claiming that anybody should be banned from running from office. You know this, and your response was pure strawman.
Krugman’s point is well articulated and I’m sure you understand it, even if you refuse to accept it.
Eaves certainly gets it, and she is absolutely correct in her assesment of how serious the problem is.[/quote]
Pri: Pure strawman? Do you understand what a strawman is? That’s where I construct a false argument, attribute it to you, and ask you to defend it. I didn’t do that. I took what you wrote and, more importantly the implications therein, and responded.
Sorry, but those were your words, not mine. And, I note that you didn’t respond at all, but fell back on the “strawman” retort in order not to do so.
You have been ducking solid responses and have instead come back time and again with either memetic arguments or a false equivalence (If One Doesn’t Believe A, One MUST Believe B, i.e. if I don’t agree with the president with “the funny sounding name”, I must be a Tea-vangelical nutbag).
