Fine. I really didn't doubt this. I've argued about these issues for months now. And there are a lot of people who don't agree with my arguments but I respect. I'm not obligated in some way to rehash it all just because Bobby Byrd has weighed in.

The facts remain. So what's your statement got to do with anything here? As I would say with SDW " Check "

Well I guess that's mate. You couldn't provide any substance to counter any of the arguments pertaining to the topic. Debate like chess is based on logic and has certain rules you have to adhere to. The first time you posted you were " playing the game ". This is a forum not just a fantasy where people only listen to you. Sorry old bean.
dang, you go away for one day to take care of kids out on the reservation, and you have to come back to this shit...
thanks for the discussion folks
g'rat...can you lock this now please.....after driving 300 miles in wind and snow, i am in a foul mood and the rant i am about to go into would not be pretty......
ps...thank you to GW Bush today for starting to outline what you want and what you will do....it is a good start...now maybe a speech to the american people, not a think tank, and maybe even a talk to the press where questions can be asked.....still, i appreciate that he is now discussing this possible war and what it means and what it will entail, not just saying we will go it alone and that old europe is out of touch and such...W, good first step....
i also want to thank the people and countries that said no to war....both here and abroad...it made a difference and is still making a difference...the US may have been hastily at war a month ago with out all of you....
keep talking to the people Mr President...it is a good thing.....

Hussein has killed less than Sharon? Dear God, man, I?ve got to hear this!!
You should have said find a rightous president that wasn't doing a lot of damage to the country. Then you might have had a point. Everything he said is pretty much true. But, all you have to do is read Byrd's statement to understand that.
I know your being obtuse on purpose. It's not working.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You're right your clouding of the issue isn't working. He's pointing out something. The fact that you did after a fashion call somebody a racist. That was Byrd ( and the implication for anyone who listens to him ) . In order to cloud the issue to boot because you really didn't have a good counter for what Byrd said. You know mud slinging.

See, a very weak argument. So quit blowing smoke already.

You don't believe me so that makes my argument weak? But you don't even care whether what I've written is true or not!

So far I haven't read much of anything from you pertaining to this. Still in check.

Yep, they do. As desperately as you might want me to care about what Bobby Byrd thinks. I don't.

You keep this up and it'll be mate. I've got to go to dinner now. You go ahead and post something irrelevant and I'll get back to you later.

That was the fifth reply to this thread. Does this mean a Klan member isn't a racist? Or that Byrd wasn't a Klan member?
