[quote]ALBANY — Democrats took control of the State Senate last month after more than four decades of Republican rule, then set out to determine how the Senate’s own budget of nearly $100 million and its attendant perks were being distributed.

They are still trying to figure it out.

They recently realized there are some 75 employees working at the Senate’s own printing plant, a plain brick building on the outskirts of Albany. On Long Island, they found a small television studio, which had been set up — all with public money, with two press aides on hand to help operate it — for the exclusive use of Republican senators to record cable TV shows.

Democrats also came across what they are calling the “Brunomobile,â€

Because only the GOP does things like this, yessiree!

Yeah, Nitram, this is normal politics for New York. Cronyism and corruption is so rampant in that state as to become a byword. Shall we talk about Fiorello LaGuardia? Or Tammany Hall?

Both parties do this in New York. It's as bad as Maryland or Illinois.

Ah, gotta love the 'Because ONLY GOPers do it!' response. 'Cause I totally said that Democrats don't. Totally. The lack of words to that effect is merely proof I'm dealing with SUPRA GENIUSES who can invent the meaning of posts with no fear of, you know, being called out for rank dishonesty.

Jesus Christ, the calibur of debate is dropping like a stone.

You posted this behavior as an example of "Why I Distrust that Party". You weren't talking about the Democratic party, Nitram. And this is approximately the twentieth news article in a row you've posted to bash any element of the Republican party you can for any reason you can think of.

But we're being dishonest for mentioning that this is common practice in New York, and has been since the days of Tammany Hall?

You admitted already tonight that you don't debate. You just insult people for your own amusement (your own goddamn words). So go shove your protestations of dishonesty straight up your ass.

Your argument would be what here? I don't post enough anti-Dem posts? I have to include disclaimers in every post in case you're too stupid to not invent additional parts?

No, you're dishonest for claiming for a second I absolved the Dems of this. Please stop hallucinating.

So 'Mocking you amuses me' == 'I only come here to insult' in your secret decoder ring? Where'd you get that? Cereal box?

As I said in the other thread Nitram, by your own admission you're not here to debate, and I doubt you're here for the weather. You tell me.

But all I have to say otherwise Nitram is that if you were "just innocently" posting this article, why is it that the mere suggestion of the fact that both parties engage in these activities is sufficient to send you into an insulted fervor? Why is it that you are honest and pure in intention for posting that the Republicans are acting in this evil way, and yet when I or Cleric point out that Democrats do it too, we are dishonest liars?

Of course I'm sure it's just my imagination. You wouldn't actually be trying to make the claim yet again that all evil and darkness in the universe is the provenance of the Republican party... would you?

Surely not...

So you promote a cariacturre of my commentary, and if I get insulted, it's not because you're an insulting little ferret whose outright dishonest, it's because I'm partisan. Riiiiight. And let's not forget to feed the farcical 'fervor' nonsense! We can't have an anti-Nitram post that doesn't include the hallucinated image of a monkey flinging poo.

'By my own admission'.. By your outright lies, you mean. What a sad thing when someone is reduced to such bullshit.

I love this guy. I'm a dishonest, insulting little ferret, because I pointed out that both parties engage in the behavior he spoke of. This is like watching Jack Thompson address the Florida Bar. I half expect his next post to claim that I accused him of murdering Kennedy. And the best part is that he claims I'm lying like every other post, about things that everyone can read as plain as daylight. This is like the Karl Rove school of debate. 'Just bash your opponent regardless of what he says or does.'

This guy tells everyone outright that he doesn't read what I say, that he does this just to mock me, and and then calls me a liar whenever I bring those facts up, as though nobody else can see what he said in black and white. And he invariably does the exact things he is accusing me of in the same post. I can frequently tell what misrepresentations he's going to engage in just by reading what he accuses me of this time.

I swear, this is like a goddamn sitcom. It's like I don't want to read, but I really do, you know?

Thank you Frigid.
