May 2012

You know the reality, if you live here, and are honest.

The campaign had very little to do with MM. MM money didn't come until May. She was already going to win.

You know it, I know it, everyone in Oregon knows it.

No one who has discussed the pros and cons of these candidates at many, many functions worried about this as a reason to go for one or the other.

This obsession is just dishonest to the core.

Nice logical fallacy of a response. HuckleB May 2012 #30

well, it's the Drug Policy Alliance making the claim RainDog May 2012 #5

Which makes the claim much less viable. HuckleB May 2012 #12

And what is it that makes your claim viable? Bluenorthwest May 2012 #16

And another logical fallacy (actually two in one sentence, it appears) is offered up. HuckleB May 2012 #33

Right. Sort of like that crazy group who called Marijuana the "defining issue" of the campaign. Warren DeMontague May 2012 #46

So, the Horton campaign ITSELF said medical marijuana was the defining issue of the campaign? RainDog May 2012 #47

No, no, no no, since he lost it was a total non-issue. As the Oregonian put it, a "distraction". Warren DeMontague May 2012 #52

Ah, so personal attacks and logical fallacy is your thing? HuckleB May 2012 #37

I dont know, I could just rack up a whole bunch of sort of vacuous posts in a thread on the topic. Warren DeMontague May 2012 #38

Nice personal attack, and logical fallacy in one swift swipe. HuckleB May 2012 #36

So if you write several posts about "logical fallacies", does that count as one? Warren DeMontague May 2012 #40

Here it was THE issue. What it boiled down to was Holton flipping the bird to the Bluenorthwest May 2012 #15
