Reply #24: Why it's a straw man [View All]

Because no one brought up anyone's claim about Dean's position on the Iraq invasion and it's effect on his electability.

Furthermore, even if people had said that, it doesn't mean that this issue won't sink him. Just because one issue didn't hurt him, that doesn't mean another issue won't.

I'm just pointing out that the opinions of the masses change with time, and his position now could become more popular in the future.

That's not what you said. Basically, you argued that because people were wrong to say that Iraq would hurt Dean, they are also wrong when they say taxes will hurt Dean.

Maybe if you were a little less hostile, you'd have gotten where I was going with that comment.

Even if we were friends, freindship doesn't come with the ability to read minds. I don't read minds so I went by what you said. You said nothing about people changing their minds.

But if your going to argue that people will be changing their minds on taxes, all I'll say is "Good luck with that" Prior experience gives little reason to think that's going to happen.
