I gave you a chance to show us the groundwork for your "team evil" conspiracy theory but apparently you don't have the time.
Actually I thought I laid this out pretty well. It was his demand for primary sources on each piece which I thought would take an excessive amount of time to dig up, and felt was an effort to get me to concede rather than do the work, which I probably would, since I don't have that kind of time. Basically, if someone is attempting to disprove a theory, the onus lies on them to provide the burden of proof. I'm not trying to prove anything here.
If it's a conspiracy theory, so be it. "Osama bin Laden led Al Qaeda to fly planes into the World Trade Center" is a conspiracy theory. I guess the crux of my "team evil" conspiracy theory is Bush is Clinton, Clinton is Bush, and that this sort of cooperation has been increasing.
Point of fact: Yesterday, it was Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who I've long touted here as "The New Bush," who raised the spectre of a resolution condemning Iran, and forcing them to comply or "face consequences." I don't know if it's just me, but this sounds strangely familiar. Anyway, it all goes to the, "After we get this election, we get Hillary to invade Eye-ran, see. Heh heh heh. That's what in Texas we call bait in switch, or was it toggle in switch? A great American once said an eye for an eye, Eye-rack for Eye-Ran. Heh heh heh."
At least we won't have to listen to Bush anymore once we get Hillary. I guess the real danger is a war with Iran will kill a much larger number of people.
Anyway, my other point is that Bush and Clinton are a fake opposition, like vote for my left hand or my right hand. The real opposition to Clinton is Russ Feingold, Barbara Boxer, et al., and the real opposition to Bush is Chuck Hagel, Larry Craig, et al.
I'm sorry for chasing Fletch off, that was never my intention, I don't think anything I said was ever intended to be targeted at him. I rant sometimes against ideas I think are unworkable like global revolution, and against this idea that somehow one half of the political spectrum is right and the other is wrong. I know that there are demons on the right, it's very hard to forget when they are in charge of the govt. and the party. I also know that it's not going to be perfect if we get rid of them. But it'll be better.
