    His stance on this issues is all-encompassing. It can be summarized thus:

    Ah, Dicky, you rascal, you'd clearly fit right in amongst the pamphleteers and puppeteers of the French Revolution.

    You'd have lost that bet. Knowing how much you guys :hail: blogs, this is precisely in character.

    Make sure Ward sees it; he can add it to his collection. :yes:

    You may have missed it, but that's a blog from your side of the fence. DD&B -- it's what's for breakfast.

    I didn't miss the point. I watched it fly right past you. You may now link to any post in which I have stated anything even remotely resembling what's on that site. :bailey:

    The goalposts are fine right where they're at, Fail-Un-Khamen. Someone barked like a toy poodle about how Obama's the subject of conspiracy theories from the right, Skin pointed out that Bush was just as liable to be the target of conspiracy theories from the left, that was challenged for evidence, Skin provided evidence. Game over. The guy on top of the pile is the easiest target for egg throwing. It's Obama's turn to wear a mess of yolk. Skin never said you were in on it.

    Unlike the rumors and snickering at your gynecologist's office, this particular conversation doesn't revolve around you.

    Yes, that's fine. It was what you tried to do afterwards that failed.

    What Skin did afterward was point out that you would assume Skin meant that you had engaged in those conspiracy theories.

    Which you did, not 3 posts ago.

    So no, there was no failure involved.

    That's not at all surprising. In fact, it could almost be applied globally.

    In all probability, this is true; nobody has any idea what you're talking about, including you.

    It's all Skin's left with. No doubt you've already reserved 'has-been' as a contingency.

    Well, IIRC, when ever he has talked about his position recently, the right has accused him of campaigning on the taxpayer's dime. :shrug:

    OK, let me get this straight.

    We're in a primary season. Therefore, there are debates. Because the only primary is on the Republican side, all of the debates are between Republicans. Because debates tend to involve questions, there are -- get this -- questions.

    And the Republican Whining Squad turns this into "The media isn't asking Obama enough questions!"

    If the positions were reversed, the same Republican Whining Squad would be complaining about all the free air time given over to Democrats bashing the Republican incumbent, and wailing about the Republican incumbent not getting any time in the spotlight.

    But since Obama's in office, the Whining Squad -- confronted with their candidates getting oodles of free media devoted to advocating Republican positions and bashing the Democratic president -- has to find a way to feed their obsession with victimhood.

    And so here we are.

    We know why he's not in the White House. He's too busy playing golf or trotting his dog up and down store aisles in Hawaii to do that.

    Silly woman!

    And there's never a new issue to come along?

    And, heaven knows, Obama never changes his position on anything.

    Give it up, Anc, even you can't believe that line. Not to mention the tremendous double standard that I've already documented for you.

    If the left could figure out the difference between a campaign appearance and an actual policy statement then maybe we wouldn't. I'd be glad to give him credit for discussing something of substance that didn't involve a photo op lubricated by beer.
