These two are so much fun to have around

David Duke doesn't worry me as much as the more 'mainstream' r's and d's.

Me neither; nor does the good Chief.

Bill has a propensity for finding the most absurd example and casting it as the standard. My example was to demonstrate how ridiculous those aspersions are.

I suppose by Rep Foley's actions, we can deduce that Republican politicians are all gay pedophiles, too.

the Dems and Reps both got to claim this charmer

Get back to me when the Losertarians kick The Chief out of their party.

I suppose by Rep Foley's actions....

And the action of interest is;
Rep. Foley Quits In Page Scandal

Now, where were we... Oh yeah, Waterboy was getting his butt kicked in the wonderful game of "Proof by Example".

Whoosh! Right over your head. Shall I get you a ladder, sonny?

Let me spell it out for you:

Bill (implied): Chief Wannadubie is a nut. Chief Wannadubie was a Libertarian candidate. Therefore, all Libertarian candidates are nuts.

WaterBoy: If that is true (it isn't; you are making an association fallacy), then the same holds true for Republican candidates because David Duke is a nut and was a Republican candidate. Regardless of how others in the party felt.

To say nothing about Foley (F is a gay pedophile; F was a R candidate; therefore all R candidates are gay pedophiles). Regardless of the fact that he resigned.

But you keep believing what you want about libertarians; if logic hasn't slowed you down, nothing will.

Wow, look at Waterboy move those goal posts so his straw man can try again!

What I meant was that the Losertarian Party is the natural home for all sorts of nuts. And there's overwhelming evidence of this. Heck, I could list several dozen Losertarian candidates that are WAY, WAY Out There.

Given that nearly half of America is in the Repubican party, it's easy to find the odd nutcase mixed in with their run-of-the-mill folks. The important thing is that when someone is discovered to be smoking dope or fondling children, they either leave (one step ahead of the boot) or are thrown out. Not so with the Libertarian party - these "differences" are not only celebrated, they're the casus belli.
