Why don't we ban BS Bob so he can post full time on Stormfront? I think we will be doing him a favor.
I really don't know why he still bothers to post here; he's surely not trying to make any friends.
Well, Miles, I post here because I care about the fate of my country. Was it Harry Truman who said about Washington, "If you want a friend in this town get a dog!"
In general, I am appalled by the folks I see in politics. The only moral standards they seem to have is winning elections and raising more money than their opponents. It is so bad that often they consider their attempts to deceive the folks back home as "pandering," and consider themselves the victims of their perceived need to "pander."
Here's a little story feature you, Miles. Back in the North Carolina redistricting thread you posted some map you declared to be some sort of natural redistricting scheme. I pointed out that you had separated Winston-Salem from it suburbs, and Greensboro from its suburbs to create an urban district that a Democrat would win. I pointed out your partisanship. You indigently replied that had started out from the West and swept East letting the chips fall were they may. Apparently having forgotten what you had posted, later in the same thread you told another poster about the exact same map that you had intentionally combined Winston-Salem with Greensboro!
Well, I'd venture to say that most of the posters here care about their country; sure, I care about my country and my state. However, that doesn't give me the license to act like I have some sort of moral high ground over everyone else. I also don't see my patriotism as a barrier to building positive and constructive relationships with my fellow posters. You, on the other hand, seem to think of your fellow posters as punching bags that should be vilified if the have a red avatar. By the way, where's your avatar?
For all the complaining that you've done about redistricting, how come I've never seen you post a map you've drawn in DRA? 'Kinda funny.
As I've done more precinct-level mapping of and travelling around NC, I've become more aware of its geopolitical and partisan situation. Thus, I think my mapping/DRA skills have strengthened accordingly over the years. If you still want to cling to that point you made about the Triad, we can go back to the redistricting threads and stop hijacking this one.
