You do realize that Iowa is a predominantly Republican State right?

More people voted for the person who finished in 5th in the Republican Causas than the entire Democratic Caucas


Also...you cannot vote for a Democrat if you are a Republican and vice versa in a Caucas

How can you debate politics when you write this poorly? How do you expect anyone to take you the least bit seriously? Would I be accurate when I assume you are far too young to vote? From your sloppy posting style, I would guess you are in junior high, and your opinion on politics is therefore entirely pedantic. And even if you are old enough to vote (in which case your shame should be doubled), why would anyone believe your opinions are worth anything when your writing displays this much ignorance?

Well said IMax. Although I would not discount the persons political standing based on their age. Their grammer is whole different matter.

Sorry IMAX, but your post is far worse than LordCharos'. One of the first rules of listening is to pay attention to content, not presentation. There's not much of substance in LC's content, but there is also no element of his content that displays ignorance. Your attack on him is therefore off-topic.

Worse yet, you make the fatal error of exhibiting in your own post what you chastise LC for. It is your focus on his writing caliber that is pedantic, not his opinion on politics. By misusing the word "pedantic," you exhibit a worse sloppiness than his, since he's not trying to write correctly and you are.

Finally, if age has any bearing on the worth of a political opinion, then my dad's political views must be superior to mine, a possibility that makes me shudder.

You know, you're right. I did misuse pedantic. And furthermore, my post is, in fact, more pedantic than the one I quoted. Excellent observation.

I'll try again.

LordCharos, your opinion would carry far more weight if you took the time to communicate legibly. If you don't wish to be dismissed for your age, try not to talk like an ignorant child.

It takes a village people to raise you arms into a big letter Y...(or something like that)

Much better.

Gee, Jack, I can't believe how delighted I am that you approve. As long as I have your seal of approval, I know I can go on living a better and happier life. Now if I can just get a sign-off on my Miss Marple manners, I can be a complete person again.

I was going to say more, but frankly, I can't stand you, so I don't think I'll talk to you any more.

It always surprises me when people say they have a problem with me. I'm a really nice guy and at least moderately funny.

So I'm sorry if I've done anything to offend you, InfinityMax. But at the same time, I wasn't the one picking on a kid.
