Harshaw, its called evidence. If people were pissed off, they would act pissed off.

:shrug: They did.

Because they weren't pissed off at the ruling

than that gives evidence towards how people may have voted. If there were a stronger negative reaction, it would mean more people voted nay as opposed to fewer people voting nay but being louder.

Look, this might have some validity if the actual vote weren't right there in the video. But judging the result by who "acted pissed off" is . . . unscientific, to say the least.


Because the vote was unknowable and all we have is "it sounds like this ..." which is a terrible thing to ascribe evidence to, but which you are doing, look to other activities to support your statement is all.

So one sound -- the actual vote -- is "unknowable," but another sound -- who "acted pissed off" -- is knowable, and properly the basis to judge this on?

The AYEs certainly were not overwhelming, as they would be if they had two-thirds.

Because the cheering vs booing is emotional rather than procedural, so its people's gut reaction, which is a better way of viewing their feelings on the matter.

But I agree, its about as unscientific as your initial assessment. Its a wash.
 
Stay classy, guys. Stay classy.

Freakin' hypocrites. They claim they're the "tolerant" party, but oooooh doggy! they sure don't tolerate religion (well...except Islam).

Do you notice how they delude themselves instead of others?

Look at how many posts they have made trying to persuade people they didn't hear what they heard. It's unbelievable.

Dude . . . the actual vote . . . is right there. Three times, actually.

But, whatever. See whatever you want.

The arrogance in this post is amazing.

I offered my view of the situation. If you disagree, than fine, but lets not get silly.

I agree the actual vote was right there and because it is inconclusive (despite you wanting to believe it wasn't), we look at what evidence we can find...

You call the actual vote inconclusive but the "pissed off" count conclusive. That's silly. Very, very silly.
 
This convention is falling apart. They are moving the stadium Obama was to give his speech, why because they didn't think "Forward" to think they needed a place with a lid. Now they take words out of their platform that they have to put back because they did not look "Forward" to the outcry. Then they call for a vote which is supposed to be approved by 2/3 vote, and you guessed it, they did not look "Forward" again, and on national TV it's a draw at best. So the Dem's elite force the change. And last no one knows why the words were deleted. Once again not looking "Forward". These people are idiots.

You are not acting like a rational human being in this thread

That vote was not won by a 2/3rds majority. Period. I don't care how many times you whine and claim otherwise, you can't lie to our faces over and over and convince us we didn't hear something everyone heard. Now stop posting in this thread before you embarrass yourself further IMO
 
Angst & confusion seems to follow the Left wherever it goes.

Please show evidence that you can back up on a factual basis (and "it sounds like ..." is not a factual basis)

However, you are likely convinced of your own rightness in the face of the lack of this evidence, so therefore the arrogance charge is an adequate description of your behavior in this thread thus far.

If you would care to dispute this, I will await evidence.

But "acting pissed off" apparently is, right?
 
Maybe it's really the Occutards running the DNC. Perhaps that explains the confusion.

Why don't you just embrace your Atheism and Materialism. Where was your outrage when God and the Capital of Israel was omitted? You can't even see the method to your madness. You're just lurching from one feeble defense of Obama and the Democrats after another. They are spinning you like a top.

Your posts are utterly embarrassing and not even remotely grounded in reality. If you can't watch and listen to that video and see the "evidence" yourself than you're blind, deaf, or both.
 
Re: Does it sound like the Ayes had it to you?

I listened to the original vote and then 2 "reruns" on the news.

IMO, I thought the nays had it the 1st time I listened. But then listening to the news video, at best it was even, but no way 2/3rds.
 
Well, at least they had a good night when Michelle spoke. I especially liked that line about Barack not careing whether you're a Democrat or Republican. The only people who could swallow that one are the mainstream media and the mentally challenged. But I repeat myself.

Maybe you have factual evidence a 2/3 vote was actually 2/3 in approval

Our own rightness is what we hear, and at best it was a split. Now you move a split to a 2/3 vote is not even close. He takes a vote 3 times and in all three it failed. And what it failed the Dem elite stepped in and called it over. The vote was for show, which backfired, showing once again their incompetence.

If you would look to my claims, I never made this claim... At best my claim was lukewarm and I indicated my preference for strong procedures.

My claim is that evidence shows (again this evidence is outrage after the ruling) that Henrin's judgement is suspect and that the view that it was absolutely not 2/3 is not set in stone.

While I won't try to defend them ( it's a really big tent party) I would like to remind you of a couple debates where the conservative behavior was appalling, like cheering for an uninsured man who gets hit by a truck to die or how about when they were booing a member of the military because he is gay. This was shameful behavior but I guess Neither party is perfect.

Billy you can bet your ass that some liberal news outlet will edit the tape, cutting the sound on the nays to almost silent.
