So, basically, if my guy does not win in the primaries, I should not vote in the general election at all?

Why is it that if you take advantage of a corporate tax break, you're a smart businessman but if you take advantage of something so you don't go hungry, you're a parasite/leech/moocher?

because businessmen contribute to their society.

They do? Solely because of their position as a businessman? You sure you want to stand by that statement?

I disagree with Scotty & John on this one. A parasite/leech/moocher is someone who receives benefits with no intention of bettering their situation with the assistance given to them. Just because someone fell on hard times and needs a little support to get them through it, does not make them a parasite.

I agree with all that, I just did not include the defensive statement following. Probably because I have already said the same thing you said 38 times before....

In fact, you said exactly what I already said here, it's just that trolls like to cut statements in half. Here is my full statement from page 4

This does not include people who really need the help or fall on hard times or have emergencies, it only includes people who don't feel like working and happily brag about not having to work.

for example...

Many, many other posters here, even the most intelligent ones, fall for this trick as well. Be careful is all

Works for me.

Only someone who is thoroughly ignorant of the situation could make such a statement. The scary thing is that we KNOW you're not ignorant of the situation, as the other possibilities have been discussed with you in these fora.

If that's true, then did Woodruff create a straw man argument? That would be embarrassing for Mr. Logical.

What drives Woodruff to make the same observations over and over and over about Phatscotty?

We all know what a Woodruff response will look like, and PS even responds accordingly, yet Woodruff keeps spinning his wheel. What's the point?

+10 on this.

No, you can't, unless you intend to join the clergy, are Amish, or are a federal employee hired before 1986. Or just not have a job.

Trust me, I've tried.
