May as well start by correcting your own punctuation skills first.
FancyFeast just used a typical ploy used by the left. When they don't have a strong argument or when they know they are wrong they resort to attacking the person who is in opposition to them. That is why they always pull out the race card. They just lost the argument and can not defend their beliefs so they attempt to silence their opposition through name calling. It is simply an attempt to put the person in opposition to their opinion on the defense.

I read the preceding post. But it is incorrect to put quotation marks within quotation marks - for starters.

If you want to put a quote inside another quote, you can do this:

"Then I told him 'Go on!' and he did just that!"

But that's enough grammar for now.

Oh, yes. I definitely noticed that and concur with your assessment of the situation.

Sad, really. All obvious tactics have an air of pathos to them, don't you think?

At least we see and understand them but the Obama's team use tactics on the poor and the middle class to get their vote too but they don't realize it. Some are so simply obvious that I have to wonder how the left can not see they are being played.

The tactics are getting more brazen - and more people are seeing through them. There's trouble brewing for sure. More and more people are getting completely fed up with the whole gridlocked political system in this country. I don't think either "side" is more honorable than the other. They all just pander to their special interest groups and huge corporations. Only the names differentiate them - and sometimes that's not even the case (the lists of political donors is always interesting to me, even on a local level).

I was pulled out the excerpt and I was quoting what HE/SHE said. The way I posted it is correct. I do understand the "quotes inside a quote" thing. That was not appropriate for what I did.
