re: #452 Sharmuta

tedzilla- can you not see the folly in your thinking? “It’s not a problem even though I’m not paying attention to it.” That’s illogical. Pay attention, and maybe you’d see exactly how much of a problem it is.

I didn’t say anything of the sort. I said that I don’t care about the issue = I don’t consider to be as big an issue as you and others do because there are bigger things to worry about. I also said that the dems are happily making this issue bigger than it is in order to get people to consider the GOP to be a bunch of religious nuts, and you are going along with it, which is your prerogative.

I also didn’t say the dems are pushing it and the GOP is not - what I said was the dems in the media are happily promoting the GOP’s efforts on this issue because it fits their demonizing agenda. Just like they are extremely interested in demonizing gay GOP politicians but preach tolerance for everyone else.

I on numerous occasions said that it is overstated which means that I know what it is, I am aware of it, I just think it’s overblown. You find it to be extremely important, and that’s fine, but just because we don’t agree on its importance doesn’t mean any of the things you said about me.
