31. Then, I repeat, you aren't paying attention
In fact same bet I've offered before. If I can't give you 5 times the issues on which the "DLC candidate" of your choice differs from Bushists than you can give me where they agree, I'll send you $500. If I can you send me $100.

So I have to give 5 times the evidence and risk five times the money.

And I can predict quite confidently you won't even take that deal - and yet you will still have the chutzpah to say they are the same.

It would be GREAT if at least one wacko anti-Democratic lefty tried to back up that screed for a change.
