Thread Name: BS: *Strengthening* Social Security...
Subject: RE: BS: *Strengthening* Social Security...
From my perspective, when I discuss something here, I believe that I am discussing it with brucie, or Don, or Bobert, or Ebbie, or Nicole, or...

But what anyone from the right gets here is that you all perceive any of us who might dare to discuss an issue from that perspective, is that we are merely a "Bushite" -- a proxy for someone with whom you'd like to have the discussion (or take out your fight and frustration), and not an individual.

There are, indeed, exceptions. MofH rarely, if ever, resorts to arguementation by association.

But I would imagine that teribus, as Strick, as others, just got worn down. They would not be treated as a Bush that you could buffet in effigy -- especially when...

1. They are not, for the most part, represented by Bush, and
2. They are definitely NOT represented by the cartoon you have drawn of Bush.

G'day mates!
