Clintons Didn't Contest Iowa in 1992, Haven't Earned Iowans' Support
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 03:20 PM by CorpGovActivist
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bill+clinton+iowa+caucus+compete+1992">Since the Clintons dissed Iowa in 1992, they should be disregarded there in 2008, right?

Some logical fallacies are http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2546540&mesg_id=2546540">double-edged.

5. The Clintons didn't run in 1992
Bill Clinton did.

And he didn't COMPETE in Iowa. There was nothing to contest. You're trying to conflate "contest" with "compete".

16. Do You Have Any Charitable Views or Facts to Share...
... regarding the Edwards/Ohio thread?

Or are your powers of contextualization confined only to moral relativisms for the Clintons?

17. I wasn't involved in this thread
I'm involved in this one.

Do you understand the difference between "contest" and "compete" in the context under discussion?

18. Yes, "to Contest" an Election Fraud Claim, vs. "to Compete" in a Caucus...
... do you understand that a single standard of fact-based contextualization can be applied to both issues?

20. what is
fact-based contextualization?

You're not making much sense.

Clinton did not compete in Iowa. Kerry did not contest the Ohio election. What's your point, and try to use full sentences and plain English.

22. Again
I'm not involved in that other thread. Haven't even read it.

If you're saying this is a copycat thread, then you should know that copycats aren't allowed in GD and GDP.

12. I know you are no where near
a supporter of HRC or any Democratic candidate that has corporate influences, and i really understand your enthusiasm in finding "inconsistencies or dirt" on the Clinton s, BUT some of this is a stretch and it seems to make you seem a little, well crazy. sorry if that is strong. Please support your candidate and do it with gusto, but please try to use only facts, it may sway more people that way, and yes even an undecided like me although i do lean towards HRC. I base that on only the fact she seems in my opinion to have the best shot at winning. If i can get a president that supports 30% of my values it is 30% more than i have had the last 8 years.

19. The "Facts" Stated in the Spoofed Thread about Edwards Not Contesting Ohio Election...
... are sound, in your view?

That's the point I'm trying to make, by spoofing that thread's "logic" - or "logical fallacy," depending on your viewpoint.
