He has only the opinions of others to back up his opinion, not facts. Rather than just admit as much, we get nonsense posts.
Originally Posted By jonvn Yes, that's simply dishonesty at work. Post the numbers: "I have" Where: "I have already posted them." And of course, they are never there. Or: Post the numbers: "I have no reason to, they are ignored." What it comes down to is that he almost never backs up a thing he has to say. It's very unfortunate.

Weasel words. Either be prepared to prove it, or don't post it. <<Moreover, you still haven't admitted you can't provide backup for your claim that Bush had a better GPA than Gore.>> <That's because I can provide backup for my claim. I just haven't.> What's the emoticon for belly laugh? Amazing. You post this claim that Bush scored higher on both SATs and GPA than both Gore and Kerry. This was quickly debunked with Gore's SAT score. You then responded that you "stood by" the rest, so you were challenged to provide proof, specifically on Gore's GPA. Now you say "I could, I just won't," and "if you can disprove me, do so." But that isn't how it works. If you post the initial claim and are challenged, it's up to you to show it, or watch your reputation here go further down the tubes than it is already. It's quite obvious you can't provide it. As 2oony put it, "Rather than just admit as much, we get nonsense posts." Exactly.

If Hillary or Obama or Edwards received a lower grade in Pottery Making I wouldn't care. This is one of the sillier debates we've had.
Originally Posted By jonvn Well, that would be honorable. I was rather horrified at how Bill Clinton was constantly pilloried for basically nothing. I hope you were just as supportive of him as you are of Bush in this regard.

Originally Posted By DAR <<Well, that would be honorable. I was rather horrified at how Bill Clinton was constantly pilloried for basically nothing.>> Well it wasn't really nothing that he did during Monicagate. However, that should have been a private family issue.
