Here is a novel thought for you. Try to imagine someone (not you, of course) who looks at both sides of an issue and then decides which side of the issue he agrees with, instead of following the heard watching Fox news (or whatever source you get your opinions from) and buying into the
straight-ticket, party line.

Your response to my post:

What exactly does this have to do with what you responded to?

My reply to your question:

HINT: "inconsistent beliefs".

Your response after I gave you the hint about inconsistant beliefs:

quote:
One can have consistent beliefs and it not be a result of only following what Fox news says.

The Hint I gave you AND the whole exchange between me and the other poster was about INCONSISTENT beliefs -- and you respond about CONSISTENT beliefs.

I was right. You couldn't figure it out even with a hint.

I didn't say it wasn't. I'm saying it wasn't a matter of life and death like it apparently was to you and yours.

Those either must have been Rasmussen polls or polls taken in the 1990's.

Those were 3 times actually voting, as in state question on state ballots, including making changes to the state constitution.

All 3 voting actions were overruled by the courts and thrown out. After passing through the rigamarole to even get on the ballot, getting the vote taken, winning the vote...court: nopenopenope.

Well, you must be no one -- because you called me stupid and a dumb arse - when it was obvious that I had mistaken votes for polls.

And I guess since you did call me names, that makes you a liar.

(Hint: No it doesn't.)

You got me there. I remember hearing Prop 8 a lot, but I don't think I ever realized that it went through all those gyrations.

Maybe it was something I was not that interest in. Don't know.
