Reply #119: It's too bad that [View All]

this is the one comment you had to pick up on. You've apparently missed many of my others, here and on other boards.

Bottom line is that some of us WANT to believe but find it difficult in light of different things that happen, and others just BELIEVE no matter what happens, while yet others never believe no matter what.

I ask how waiting until Blackwell et al push this to the 11th hour is "strategy".

Being mum, playing coy, riding the fence between filing the minimum paperwork while declaring you're not contesting, etc., even "never let 'em know what you're thinking" are all valid strategies that I and many others have acknowledged and supported.

It's more difficult to see the strategy in keeping quiet to the point of missing crucial deadlines and forcing this to become a constitutional challenge by the CBC (and hopefully at least ONE senator) that the repukes can then ignore (all they have to do is endure 2 hours of debate and then vote against the CBC challenge), and all but ensuring that the fight will be of the opposition party against newly "elected" sitting president.

Eventually playing possum has to give way to a real live response. Hopefully that will come soon and in time to make a difference in one way or another.

I won't bother directing you to my other posts which would make it clear to you exactly where I stand on this. Suffice it to say that your assumptions about how I see or understand things, or even how I feel about any of this, are simplistic and incorrect.
