Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    I explained my interpretation. you lampooned me using quotes. it’s just a matter of intellectually honest engagement.

      Wouldn’t the intellectually honest thing be to ask me what I meant rather than decide your interpretation was correct?

        if it’s not, then you could correct it. what you did was argue with a strawman.

          If I tell you why your interpretation was wrong, will you agree to believe me?

            it doesn’t much matter. I’m not arguing about it. I’m just sharing my feelings.

              I see, so it doesn’t matter what I meant to say, it only matters what you feel I said. And that is intellectual honesty.

                I’m not arguing about it. I’m telling you how I feel. you lampooned me then argued against a position I didn’t take.

                  Yes. You already said that how you feel about what I said is more important than what I actually meant. Which, apparently, is an intellectually honest position.
