Repugs only know attack when they are wrong & back the wrong horse!
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 01:10 PM by merh
Last night I sent an email to all I knew that had the Concerned Citizens for a Safer America ad of the weed sitting having my pet goat read to him while our nation was under attack.

Below is the email from a repug lawyer friend in response to the link and my responses to the email. As you can see, no substance to his position, only personal attacks. They know they are in trouble and they can't stand it!!!

My original email:
***
Before you vote -- view the link
http://141.150.158.125/
Keep this in mind!
***

Repug’s response:
***
You’ve convinced me. Voting for Bush is more important than ever. I hope you’ve convinced everyone else as well. The hatred and vitriolic spewing from the Democratic side has tipped the scales for me and I am now solidly in the Republican ranks.
Good Job!
***

Me:
***
You know as well as I that you always vote for that grand pyramid scheme party - the GOP. Nothing I send you could ever change your mind. You blind yourself to the destruction caused by Bush, not only to our economy but to our nation and to our nation's reputation throughout the world. In the years to come, when all of the truth about the lying Bush administration comes out -- just remember, I told you so!
He and his administration are war criminals.
=======================
Message from the people of Fallujah
This letter was sent by representatives of the people of Fallujah to the UN secretary general Kofi Annan " IT IS more than evident that US forces are committing daily acts of genocide in Iraq. .... (full letter was sent, you can find it here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2572664 )
***

Repug’s reply:
***
Your self-indulgence in hyperbole and lack of analytical objectivity means discussion is pointless. You’d rather rant.
***

Me:
***
What type of discussion would you like to have? Would you like to discuss the economy and the deficit?
How about the "war on terror"?
How about the illegal & immoral war that is Iraq?
How about the military?
Tort reform?
Health care?
I know my facts, but you don't know the facts, for if you did, you could never vote for Bush!

Repug’s reply:
***
None with you on this subject, as you are not rational – you are rabid.
***

Me:
***
I am not rabid, I am very rational - nothing in any of my emails portrays either emotion. Actually, I removed the really damning language I had included in one, just because I knew you would accuse me of being irrational.
It is sad to know that you are an educated man, yet, you have failed to discover for yourself the facts and the truth about the war and this administration.
***

Repug’s reply:
***
Not true. You are the sole repository of truth, justice and what you perceive as the American Godly Way. No man or woman cometh to the Truth but by you. There is no room for discussion – merely castigation and name calling, and people being idiots if they don’t agree with your perception of the Truth. No room for honest difference of opinion – only yours.
Now I am doing what I said I wouldn’t, and discussing this.
I will stop doing that now.
I’m not interested in any more of this but to go and vote.
***

Me:
***
You have not discussed anything. It is you that has ranted and it is you that perceives yourself the "holder of the truth"! I simply sent you a link of a video and you, being the all knowing and wise man that you are, decided to taunt me with your flippant email.
I do know the facts, do you? I have offered civil discussion and you turn to personal attacks, which is a sign that you have no way to defend Bush's record. The more personal your attacks, the more obvious your weaknesses and the weaknesses of your party and candidate.
****

Repug's final reply:
***
Bye.
***

ALAS, he gave up!
HeeHee!

(edited to include the final response.)

1. Stop making sense!
Or else you'll force your friend to actually THINK about what he's doing supporting Bunnypants.

Neocons aren't SUPPOSED to think! Just ACT!

9. Merh...hilarious!
You're just having too much fun aerobicizing this Republican tool.

Yes, I noticed the usual fall back play. When they know they are losing, they reach for the *religious* playbook and begin quoting scripture, likening their words to scripture. Ho-Hum...hee!

Better Luck... next time, FOOL!
