3. I voted "no".
Because Republicracy doesn't exist, and therefore can't be a scam.

4. The biggest scam the Republicrats ever pulled
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 11:56 AM by Walt Starr
was convincing the electorate there are actually two parties.

6. The biggest scam the evolutionists pulled, was planting dinosaur bones.
I don't really believe that, it just reminded me of what you just posted.

7. Seems most DUers agree with me on this one
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 12:20 PM by Walt Starr
so far, anyway.

edited to add: The single most obvious Republicrat of all would be Joe Lieberman.

9. Who you supported.
I remember at one time you were one of the most vigorous supporters of Joe Lieberman, and changed your avatar to his picture.

Also, I wouldn't lean on whether or not most DUers agree with you if I were you...

11. Oh, you mean you say things you don't mean for effect sometimes?
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 12:58 PM by LoZoccolo
Ah, ok. I'm not so worried now.

You can alert me if you want, but I was pointing out an irony about public opinion.

15. Your holding up of Joe Lieberman as an example...
...demonstrates that some examples are better than others, and therefore that not every Democrat is as good as example of Republicrats as some, and therefore they are not all equal, and therefore they are not all equal to the Republicans, and therefore there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats, and therefore there is no such thing as the Republicrats except maybe one.
