The great thing about Dugger is the contrast between the way he sees himself and his behavior. That combination of aw-shucks plain folks condescencion and flat dishonesty is sure to win someone over eventually!

What on earth are you doing, then?

“I’m here to tell you, you’re not doing it very well.”

Well, now you’ve gone and hurt my feelings. And would I try to “satirise” you? Please. You would think that of me???

What does the Summa Theologiae have to do with the Midterm Elections? Are you trying to satirise my invitation that you – gasp – read something that’s critical of Your Side? Because I’m here to tell you, you’re not doing it very well.

Nimmer

Why don’t you read the Summa Theologica and then lets talk.

Shorter Duggster:

You can’t prove what the phone machines were thinking when they called, so you can’t state with certainty that they were actually calling for the Republicans. Therefore, you haven’t proven anything about anyone, because nothing can ever be documented.

I’ve never been particularly fond of Thomas Aquinas. Sure, he invented the Seven Deadly Sins but he also put women between men and insects in the aminal rankings. Are you making a point here, or just flailing?

BTW, Nimmer, While you waiting for my analysis, give me your in depth analysis of this: http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/aquinas.q1.1.html.

Keep staring at that monitor Nimmer. I’m just about to be devastated via your Talking Points referral.

Uh, Nimrod. O.K. JM is right. Those recorded auto calls I’ve been getting from the parties suck. And I’m looking forward to Wednesday when the campaign ads stop.

(There. I defended it. Is that what you were looking for? I do like how Dems have been pushing the “theft” theme just in case they don’t get the numbers they are hoping for though. As Oliver mentions here- if you are a believer in polls- the momentum seems to favor the GOP, though it may be too little too late.)

Shorter Dugger: they haven’t given me my talking points on this subject yet…please wait.

Will get right to it Nimmer. Just stare at your monitor and my response to your undoubtedly devastastating and not at all intellectually lazy reference to some biased, obscure Talking Points BS will appear any second now. Just keep staring.

The Dems WILL take the House and probably the Senate because of the Independents. I just don’t see someone who CLAIMS to be “independent minded” voting for such and incompetent and corrupt administration.

The “swing” voters will go Dem big-time. Repubs will “hold their nose” and vote Repub. Remember, they HATE Dems and will vote for Republicans just for spite.

“Cut of their noses to spite their faces.”

While I don’t disagree with your overall premise, you can’t complain when the Democrats DO NOT EVEN SHOW UP. If Dems show up and the media doesn’t cover it, that’s a problem. But they need to show up first.

“the Democratic establishment just doesn’t seem to see the value in having a presence on the three cable news channels”

Democrats don’t control the media; business does, and business is hand-in-glove with the administration. I don’t think we should criticize Democrats for what the media chooses to cover, or how they cover it.
