Eh? Missed that...Joe wrote:Ah, a nominalist fallacy. It was a good hit if a dishonest one, but I'd expect that bit to show up in the factcheck.org review of the debate.

I'm not sure
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Oh, scare-monger..."liberals create government-sponsored health care"
If it would ruin the quality of health care, why does most of Europe have better health care than most of America?
