Pretty effective line, though, true or not.

It was obviously hyperbole - the funny part is that it's really not that big of a stretch. How absurd.

Not that big a stretch? His record prior to election and primary season began was over 95% attendance http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Sa...=1031770817111

To see whether his current absenteeism is egregious or not, I'd like to see Dole's attendance record during 1996, then some comparisons can be made...

Isn't politics fun? Don't worry if what you say is true, as long as it sounds good!

Hm interesting that the point was not made with regard to absenteeism, but rather to meeting with the man in charge of the body at large - in this case, three meetings is very close to one.

Whether or not the connotation exceeds the denotation is up to you, although the next statement encompasses it quite nicely:

What are you talking about? Please try and stay relevant? Want to reveal who your other greekchat identities are? Should we bring up your record of lies?

One of the frustrations of our political system to me is that during election periods, those who we would hopefully consider the cream of the crop among our leaders are out campaigning instead of doing the jobs we elect them for.

By the way, that includes the President and Vice President in this particular case.

Hm, the president f-s up with the phrase "the enemy" and he's eviscerated, while Edwards specifically jacks up the names "Hussein" and "bin Laden" but not a peep . . . isn't that veeeeerd?

That's right. Insult people. Again, I have caught you in several lies. Now let's see, someone with multiple identities on Greekchat is trying to achieve something by spreading lies except now he/she/it can't so they insult me.

By the way, given your confused sexuality, please don't talk about my penis or masculinity.

I thought it was hilarious to watch Edwards go into mini seizure's after he said "Kerry" and was called out on it - he was a spaz.

Face it, Edwards and Kerry are douches.

So John Kerry walks into a bar, and the bartender says "John, why such a long face?"

You may want to look up "irony" in the dictionary. Or "hypocrisy" You'll find your face next to both, I am sure...

Stop making accusations. Keep on lying though. Let's talk about your job in investment banking now. Are you read to do some talking? What lie should we tackle next?
