Instead, they push emotion based propaganda hoping it will garner support based on the irrational emotional feelings for this woman.Of course the media will not call Obama out for this, they never do.

Not the first time and wont be the last. Its all too easy to shut down any line of argument, reasoning or even questioning with an emotional response such as "think of those who have died" Yep, if all else fails goes for the heart strings. Its nothing new.

I know it is nothing new but more people call it out, perhaps over time, it won't be such an effective tactic. Appealing to emotions to influence important decisions, especially the second amendment RIGHTS guaranteed by the constitution, instead of a legitimate debate on the second amendment(even though it is pretty clear) is appealing to the lowest of the low. People should be offended, because it's manipulative, cynical, and WRONG.

This is one reason I despise the left, they never try to argue facts or the a logical, rational basis, they go on emotion, mob rule etc This is beneath me as a human and beneath everyone else.Unfortunately, some people are just stupid and do not realize this.

Calling it out is one thing. Becoming overly emotional yourself and making yourself look more a fool than they do is another thing entirely.

You're about to get laughed at some more, for the simple reason that you've just described yourself again. Can you show a single time when you have argued facts on a logical, rational basis in these forums. You say it's beneath you, yet you use emotional tactics and name-calling practically every time you post. I've tried time and again to show you the error of your ways, but you still don't get it.

hmm, Im pretty satistfied that its an indervidual thing rather than a partisan thing, Ive seen people from both sides do what you describe in similar quantities.

United States Senate voting record for today.

It update's about every 20 to 30 mins.

EDIT:
Since I'm bumping this thread (instead of creating a new one), i may as well toss this in here too.

Gun debate won’t end until there is respect on both sides

[Bubblehead1980]

The attempt to infringe upon our Second Amendment RIGHTS was voted down today in the US Senate.This is a clear victory in the ongoing battle to preserve what is left of our Republic.The war will remain "hot" as long as Dear Leader is President but this was a great day for liberty as it triumphed over reactionary emotional politics.Sadly, only ten or so individuals were the deciding factor.I will admit, it was great watching obama look like a petulant child at his post vote conference and sad watching grieving families be exploited for political purposes for I fear that in their grief, they realize not what they do.Stay informed, Stay involved, Stay vigilant.

This thread promises to be full of lively discussion and totally free of bluster.
