    I am sorry, Ken, but you are incorrect. The topic of this thread is not the closed thread that you reference.

    The topic of this thread is a statement that you made in that other closed thread.

    Pastor Larry provided us with the statement in question - which you originally made. And I will reproduce it here for you.

    "It is about why many in the GOP are opposed to saving the domestic auto industry."

    If you re-read the opening post to this thread you will find that Pastor Larry is looking for either support to demonstrate that your above statement is true or a retraction of it.

    The only reason they agreed is because they know Obama will overturn the deal .

    The UAW owns Obama.

    That's almost kind of you to say ... I think ...

    I don't think that helps, even if it is true. The GOP was willing to save the the domestic auto industry and the UAW was not willing to commit to do their part. The GOP was unwilling to save the auto industry through a particular means. It was not a blanket refusal.

    Whatever your smoking, please pass it around. That has to be good stuff ...

    I am more than willing to debate the issue with you, though I have had more important things to do today.

    I am not sure what there is to debate though. This is cut and dried. You make a statement that you appear not to be able to back up. The GOP is willing to use government money to save the auto industry. They simply were not willing to do it without certain guidelines being met by all parties involved.

    I did no such thing. If you look back, you will see that I simply made a statement of fact about what you said, and asked for either evidence to back it up, or a retraction. So far, you have given neither. You have simply tried to avoid it.

    I am absolutely correct. Are you denying that PL is personally attacking me by trying to make my statement out to mean something other than what it was about - GOP elected officials opposing the government short-term loans to the domestic automakers?

    Anyone who continues to misconstrue my statement either has extremely poor reading comprehension or is simply being dishonest.

    1. I will not retract my statement as it is accurate if one reads the closed thread.

    2. I have no need to demonstrate support as PL is not conveying accurately what I said in the closed thread.

    1) That is not true. The UAW was quite willing to play ball.

    2) Yes, you did.

    3) Yes, I have. You continue to not speak the truth about me.

    4) Yet again you have not spoken truthfully about me.

    That's better than being owned by Wall Street like right-wingers are.

    Actually, it was the right-wingers who didn't want Wall St. bailed out. More dishonest stereotyping.

    Enough bickering. This is not debating. Debating presents a side of an issue with proof and credible links. It would seem some here would rather throw up smoke screens than have an honest debate. Closed.
