I might be wrong, but my best guess is that it's because someone is attacking him with attacks of racism.

He's being attacked for being a racist without providing any hard evidence that he's a racist...

Try to keep up, man.

I was making fun of how your sentence didn't actually describe the thought you were trying to convey.

Then you should have read what I was quoting for context.

Again, do try to keep up!

Attacks of racism.

Accusations of racism.



'More accurate,' isn't quite accurate. As you can see, interchanging the two words creates polar statements.

I'm glad you caught up.

So you want to disqualify my point with semantics....?

Yes, I chose the more polarizing vocabulary because accusing someone of racism is a lot more powerful//polarizing than it should be.

No I wanted to make, and have successfully made, a light-hearted mockery of your grasp of the English language. Nothing more. Nothing less.


I couldn't give a shit about Ron Paul.

Explain, in concise, simple sentences that accurately describe your logic so that my overtly literal mind might understand.

I thought your last statement contained a double negative; but I was wrong.

I see.


As to your point:
I'm not really a part of this conversation so your point is moot in the context of this subtext of an off-topic entanglement spurred by the rumbling boredom of a hyper Genius.

But did he have 30 years of belief consistency and voting records to back it up?

Nope.

This whole idea of 'futility' is such a cop out, I'd love to hear who people citing this as a reason to discredit Ron Paul are voting for.

Well, there's no doubt in my mind, this has all resurfaced because he's doing well in the polls.

I said "hard evidence". Personally, I do have my suspicions about the guy.

PS

I believe in evolution.
I like my politicians to possess the ability to think critically. Choosing a 2000 year old fairy tale over real science doesn't exactly scream logic and reason.

If they are going top base their beliefs off of fiction, at least make it something cool, like Star Wars.
