I resent ECF's campaign regarding the New Mexico State Rep. Liz Thompson

[zapped]

So, zapped, that explains your behavior.

Do you continue to act out like this when your parents come home?

I forgot to add personal attacks and character assassination to the list of tools used by progressives when fighting a losing battle.

Go ahead, attack away.

You dont have a leg to stand on and posts like this prove it.

I enjoy a good donnybrook now and again.

Proceed.

At this point it's like watching a game of pong. Side to side to side to... I swear I can't figure out anymore who's cheering for which side.

Agreeded, its all nonsense really.

On this forum, all I care about is vaping and the friends I've made because of it. If political pressure is suggested for the right to vape, then I feel it's fair to make that suggestion. I don't think it's an attack on your ideology. Why?

ALL politicians are ALL on exactly the SAME page and in the same party. Which party? That would be the "Us" party, in their attempt to get back to the "good ol' days" pre magna carta, pre constitution.

Their only goal is to divide and conquer "Them" (we the people), whether it be via race, money, this right vs that right, so we never solidify enough to tackle them.

Meanwhile they'll sit at the same exclusive table in the same exclusive club smacking each other on the back.

...

I fought that battle yesterday. I lost, remember? Then I moved on when you and yours couldn't stay anywhere near on point. Now I'm just jousting with ya for fun, bud.

 

[Hulamoon]

Absolutely correct Papaw. And your point is?

Mine ! MINE ! MINE ! MINE ! My Side is ALWAYS the side to be on ! Because it's MINE !

Honestly you don't either. Your "righteous" indignation does not make you "right". No matter how many times you may repeat it.

 

[zapped]

First, you fixed it to say the exact opposite of what I've been saying, so clearly you're not comprehending.

Second, why in the hell would you think my politics lean left?? Can you find one instance of where I've stated this? ?

It's the exact opposite.

But, again, you've at least demonstrated that your reading comprehension is lacking, so I'll give you points for consistency.

I assure you theres nothing at all wrong with my reading comprehension and my grades can attest to that fact.

Maybe I just havent been paying much attention to what youve had to say? Im sure Im not the only one.

With comments like the one above, as well as your preceding ones, can you honestly blame anyone for that?

As far as my assumptions about which way you lean politically, your comments are ample proof of that.

It is not ECF's responsibility to do your homework for you or even to present the issues in an unbiased manner.

Of course its biased, its a forum about vaping and somehow, incredibly, that fact seems to be escaping many of you.

As well as the futility of this argument. Youve already lost it just hasnt pentrated that far into your brain yet.

ECF has chosen to endorse this candidate and theres not a damn thing you can do about it.

Even your arguments against our chosen candidate have had the opposite effect you intended......(much like most "progressive" attempts at "progress") so you might as well quit while you have a modicum (it means miniscule or tiny) amount of dignity and credibility left to you here.

@ VapingTurtle As far as the jousting goes, Its not chivalrous to attempt to engage in a mental or verbal joust with such an obviously unarmed opponent, so I wish you a good night.

Thank you once again for putting this issue in the spotlight and bringing more attention to it than it would have gotten from a simple banner.

Youve unwittingly done more to advance this forums cause, with the all attention and your comments,no matter how delusional and misguided, than I think you're capable of realizing.

ummm.... give me a minute, having a 'grey moment' here.....

LOL, grades?

Yes, I can certainly blame you for not understanding what I write. I've been crystal clear in my thoughts on this topic, none of which involve Democrats or Republicans or Left or Right or Either Candidate in this situation. The fact that you can't seem to grasp it (and yes, probably only you), is not my issue.

So, I'll ask again, which of my comments state that I lean left?

Go ahead, I'll wait. Either point them out or don't, but I'd rather you not go on another diatribe stating unfactual information about what I post. Either understand what's written and comment on it, or if you don't understand it, don't bother replying (regardless of your "grades")

 

[PapawBrett]

If you aren't paying attention to what someone is saying, you have no right to comment.

Excuse me, but the First Amendment guarantees us the right to make as big an as we want without fear of legal reprimand.
I always have a right to comment. I just do not have a right to be heard. Same for anyone else.

But... aren't THEY "the people" too?
And THEY that "sit at the same exclusive table in the same exclusive club smacking each other on the back", yeah them, the rich white guys... aren't you dividing "via race, money, this right vs that right"?

Your heart is in the right place, Moon.

The first amendment only protects you from GOVERNMENT actions.

However the rules of etiquette have nothing to do with government.

Actually, I believe Hula was referring to Congress.... as she also mentioned 'Magna Charta' and 'The Constitution', which are supposed to limit the powers of Elected Officials. Like, for instance, N.M. State Rep. Liz Thompson !

 

[PapawBrett]

Etiquette has nothing to do with demeaning another whose opinion may or may not be the same as yours.

 

[Rotowoman]

And this thread is a perfect example of "Divide and Conquer!"

 

[wshanncap]

I understand the idea that a foreign company shouldn't be lobbying in American politics. But is that any more out of line than tobacco companies lobbying against the vaping community because of profit margins? She, like most anti-vape Americans are just buying the load that the tobacco industry is selling. And it shows how well she supports the people who elected her, She doesn't. She supports the money. That's what is wrong with American politics now. And besides that, I am a right wing conservative. And I know that we are not a democracy. We The People are a Constitutional Republic. There is a big difference. And too many people have forgotten that. And that is why America is being ruined.

I see you edited your post after I replied, so I'll address this edit as well:

Even your arguments against our chosen candidate have had the opposite effect you intended......(much like most "progressive" attempts at "progress") so you might as well quit while you have a modicum (it means miniscule or tiny) amount of dignity and credibility left to you here.

I haven't made a single argument against any candidate, let alone "your chosen candidate". Seriously dude, do you read anything before responding?? You have no idea what my thoughts are on either candidate. Are you sure your grades are good? Talk about credibility.
