Why NC-9 Should Frighten the Democrats

[Charles]

That's typically not how the argument goes. Usually it's "Why do you care about it now when you didn't care about it then?"

But that is your questions to others. We also need to make our own decisions on how we will act as individuals. And in those cases, no one of us can justify our actions only by pointing to the fact that others did the same. So even if those who would blame me in a given situation would be hypocrites for doing so, it does not follow that my action was justifiable.

If you're attempting to morally justify something by saying "they did it too", you've already lost.

I don't believe I have ever seen anybody who can be so consistently ironic.

Talking to yourself in the mirror again, eh CP.

You'd like to think so anyway. Unfortunately you are obviously naive and easily led.

FAR more dead people vote for Democrats than for Republicans.

I never said that. Maybe you should try not making up something in order to make it easier to refute. The point is that democrats are more than willing to subvert democratic processes, in order to win. A thing you seem to believe to be something only republicans do.

The courts are part of our democracy so I have no idea what you are going on about. I never suggested that republicans subverted democracy by going through the courts. You brought the courts into it probably to divert attention from the things that republicans are actually doing like the many facets of their voter suppression tactics, or tactics like calling votes in secret with only republicans in attendance in order to overide a democrat governors veto. No, you don't see democrats pulling these undemocratic stunts, that's how republicans operate.

First off I didn't claim there was anything wrong with going through the courts, that's what courts are for. But you made the challenge that only liberals win through the courts, so it's up to you to prove it.

Trick question. Both of them have.

Though I would say the Democratic Party does do it more often.

Actually it's your claim, so you tell me.
