Fox's Megyn Kelly Rips Whiny GOP Candidates

This thread has turned into nothing more than a troll thread where the left leaning members make dishonest claims against right leaning members, although some on the right are doing pretty well holding their own. But, even given that, I'm done here since the one that made accusations against me has refused to respond to me and either prove his/her claim or apologize even though he/she was online and in this thread for a while - not surprising though.

You're the one who attempted to draw a comparison somehow between unions and the Republican debates. I didn't. Actually, I wouldn't attempt to draw any kind of comparison between them. That would result in a really stupid post, and I wouldn't make a fool of myself that way.

Carry on.

Unions have a tendency to make demands to ensure better work conditions.
GOP candidates made a list of demands over their "work conditions."

That was my comparison. I can't believe this is even controversial. :shrug:

I lamented wasting my time on your first post because it was off on a tangent. I don't have time to go way off track; I have a life, which I gather you don't? I get it, you equate unions to every group that bands together, no matter how irrelevant, meaningless or stupid. I agree. Unions are irrelevant, meaningless and stupid. Hey, this turned out to be a pretty decent off topic discussion after all. You feel as I do that unions are as useless as the Republican debates. Cool.

Sigh, always with the spin... I never said Unions are as worthless as the GOP debates- you're projecting- a common right wing, can't debate tactic.

YOU seem to equate unions with clubs or tweens. I gave a list of qualifiers... :doh

I always get a good laugh from someone who keeps on posting all the while attempting to convince us (themselves) they have a life... :lol:

(next time if you want even a slightly believable 'I have a life' schtick try shutting up and walking away) :peace

Your idiotic post, which I noticed was liked by posters who also post idiotic posts, was off the rails. You babble about the Tea Party and air conditioning and conservatives. It was a stupid, off topic, irrelevant post. Damn, this board would be better if posters understood what they read. You don't.

Back to what I was posting about. The Republican debates and the unions have NO correlation. It isn't my fault you don't get that and instead make yourself look very foolish with these dopey posts.

I read it because I assumed at some point he would relate his rambling idiocy to what I was actually posting about. I was disappointed that he didn't. Apparently you need a lesson in post reading as well, pete.

I didn't show an interest in the Tea Party and conservatives, which is what he stupidly posted about. They have absolutely nothing to do with what I posted about, which was the Republican debates and unions. Damn, the stupid posts are flowing freely today. Thanks for your contribution to the collective cluelessness.

You don't see the irony of rambling about someone else supposedly rambling ?

Can't editorialize honestly?

The candidates plainly used collective bargaining to negotiate. That's 'unionization' even if that's a dirty word for you to ascribe to your 'heroes.'

Then, republicans got all upset at the comparison, and attacked virtually everything except the merits of the argument itself.

It will be dancing in the streets for every Democrat and Progressive in the land should Trump get the nomination. It would be 1964 and Goldwater all over again. And that sort of enema is just what the Republican party needs to purge it of all the right libertarian influence that is clogging it up and polluting it.

No merit to back up the argument that the candidates did not participate in collective bargaining ?

How is your inability to articulate any actual argument evidence of me being some sort of troll as you seem to imply ?

You fail to see that maybe liberals are less likely to buy into propaganda.

That's only because you don't believe the liberal MSM puts out any propaganda.

Yes, but you asked a question about something I said. And I answered it, at which time you changed the subject BACK to Megyn Kelly. That was not what I was answering about initially.

Okay. MSNBC is a left wing political news channel. While Fox claims to be a fair and balanced source of news which they are not. They bash Obama every chance they get. Why would he ever want to go there?

I love how Conservatives don't use facts just deflection and petty insults when they get called on their silly dodges... :roll:

You want us to just take your 'x-spurt' opinion on this. :shock:

It is obvious to anyone who isn't knee deep in Con crap that what the dozen or so candidates have banded together- just like a Union. They have pooled their demands and worked out a compromise on what they want- just like a Union. They even use the much attacked union oldie but goodie of a threatened STRIKE if they don't get their way- just like, and you should know what's coming- a Union.

Dear, I was born at night but it wasn't LAST night... :peace

You forgot the most important [and mandated] element. One side must begin by proposing way more than they want while the other must offer much less than they are willing to concede. Really, you'd think you'd never been to a collective bargaining session.

This has no analogy in union or collective bargaining. This is an ultimatum.

An ultimatum is a tactic frequently used in bargaining.

This is bargaining by definition.

Bargain : an agreement between two or more parties as to what each party will do for the other

Collective : done by people acting as a group

I can see this label-auto-bad fallacy abused by the right has now backed you into the corner- you either use common sense and denounce the label-auto-bad fallacy, or you double down that the label doesn't apply here without any reason to conclude as such.
