I'm not talking about Cuomo.

I was.  Anything not related to Andrew Cuomo is irrelevant to the point I was making about him.

Some masterpiece, business as usual.  "Your boy" is going to be the reason the GOP's going to get waxed again in 2016.  10 years ago, the party chairman would've gotten booted out faster than you can say "bodybags for fags" for being responsible for such a loss like November's.  But no, not Today's GOP.  So much for rebranding.  Letting ethnicky guys like Rubio take the lead on issues isn't exactly fooling anybody.
:whoosh:

Stand down.  I was being sarcastic.
It must be tough, being pretty much the only person of consequence around here who is willing to defend the Republican Party as it stands right now.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My mistake. (And I thought they were Democrats, but figured I had it wrong.)

You should have figured you were wrong when you figured you were wrong.

Definitely have to pick my battles.  Note that I'm not on record as defending Reince Priebus.

Especially when she emphatically said the dude's name :D

So the part where I said that I was wrong is... irrelevent? I realize it's a new concept for you - to admit that you're wrong about something - but I have no problem doing so.

I mean, if you want to keep harping on him, feel free. I was talking about how the GOP continues to lose the center-right due to their inability to understand them. That you haven't acknowledged those points, instead harping on something that I've already said I was wrong on, really makes me think that I'm right about that anyway.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If you're saying the GOP loses the center-right due to the center-right's inability to understand the GOP, I'm with you :P

Yeah, so I'm right. Basically, so long as the Republican Party believes that they are the Law rather than that the people are, there will be no Republican in the White House.

So keep on "funnin'", nancy.

I can't speak for the entire GOP.  I can only speak for myself  :)

The people are the law?

God, why did we ever see fit to give women the vote?

I know. They can't be trusted with anything.
