But doing what you did tears up your credibility. The burden of proof was on him until you jumped in head first. It's a little late to step back and make that call.

Thats very true. If your going to dispute something, even when the other person is the one who made the claim and has the burden of proof, you should probably be ready to disprove his claims.

Kuat: Stop trying to move the goalposts. Throwing up universally known Democratic scandals is not the unique answer you'll need.

What the hell, I'll give you the right answer. There is no way you could prove that "the Democrats are just as corrupt as the Republicans" because the statement is meaningless without strictly defining terms. Thanks for playing. Come back when you want to discuss the relative benefits for voting for one party over the other instead of waxing angsted and reciting platitudes.


Oh ho ho ho, you are a funny one. What I said was far from meaningless, and has been expressed by others as well. Both parties have become bloated and inept, and neither party in general, I feel, would lead the country in a "good" direction. What the hell is "meaningless" about that. Screw "strictly defining terms". I can do a LIFE of research on that, I'm not gonna post every nuance of policy here. Nice job about running away, but sorry, you lose.

Edit: I brought up well known scandals BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION. And you got it! And there is more! You asked to show that democrats had a similar amount of "corruption" (you yourself using what can be said to be a vauge term) to the republicans. Moving goal posts nothing. However, when one has a baseless argument, they tend to use word games "Oh no, you haven't defined all the possible subsets in this dimension and the next; therefore your argument is null". Screw continuing this, you are trying to make me work on a level you never even touched.

I was reading this until about page 3. Then decided to skip to the end. I then found it it was on page 10. Now I don't want to go back and read or post, especially considering half of it may very well be flame. But I decided to post this anyway.

Haha,
Good Day

There really shouldn't be a debate over whether democrats are more corrupt or vice versa. It's more an issue of polliticians being corrupt. Some are and there aren't strict ideological boundaries even though it appears that it is more often democrats that are mired in the scandal. Republicans do have theirs as well, even though many are figments of democrats imaginations, ala The House Majority Leader.
