DanG 1 #27 August 13, 2015 QuoteInteresting. However, can you see the difference between "may be upgraded" and "were"? Also, how much do you know about ex post facto? Of course, that's why I said "may" and "after the fact". I know that the upgrade would be ex post facto. You said you hadn't seen any reference to top secret classification, so I provided one. Is it possible for you not to try and start an argument with every post? - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine someone who: -thought that abortion was abhorrent and was personally opposed to it, but thought that the government shouldn't be making that decision -understood the science behind climate change, but didn't think we had to do any more than we are already doing to stop it -thought the government was far too large, and had a list of cuts to the military, social security and unemployment insurance they wanted to make -disliked many parts of Obamacare, and had a well thought out plan to fix it -thought that illegal immigration was a big problem, and had a plan to make much of it legal while slowing down the rest -thought that we should leave other countries alone as much as possible Especially in this election cycle I can't imagine them NOT drawing a tremendous number of centrists and even left and right leaning voters. I can't believe it, but I agree with everything you have said! Talk about a thread killer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
