Wha...Ben, do we really need to go over this again? What part of "stunt" do you not understand. Had Udall shown up for the vote, Blunt would have held back another member so they could still have their #dontgo party the following week. In the end, Udall voted against adjournment, which as far as 99% of the public is concerned is exactly the same thing as voting against the adjournment resolution and had the exact same end result.<BR/><BR/>What's amazing to me is that this is the best line of attack the Schaffer campaign can rustle up. Looks like its going to be a rough fall for the GOP.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228621519387719816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114733480292395190.post-54436344806282080692008-08-12T09:42:00.000-06:002008-08-12T09:42:00.000-06:00Wow ...

If you wish to point out where the actual error is in this post, please proceed. <BR/><BR/>This issue really hits a raw nerve with you guys, doesn't it? Sometimes the facts are painful.<BR/><BR/>And to think, you went through all that trouble and missed the main point of the post.

Sunday's editorial was created in a parallel universe, strikingly like our own except that Udall wasn't present for the vote to adjourn Congress on August 1 like he was in our universe, or,<BR/><BR/>2. A battery of phone calls from Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams to the Sentinel persuaded them to ignore their own reporter--not to mention the Congressional record--and print a demonstrably false hit piece.<BR/><BR/>Actually, there's only one possible answer.</I><BR/><BR/>Good of them to at least mention a possible alternate universe, though, because that's probably what I would stick with if I were you. Facts being facts and all--of course, you've never been one to let some pesky <I>fact</I> get in the way of your deceitful prattle, Ben. Like Bob Ewegen of the Denver Post said about this nonsense recently:<BR/><BR/><I>"When the facts disagree with the myth, go with the myth."</I><BR/><BR/>Got you pegged pretty well, doesn't he? When this is all over, after Schaffer concedes defeat and retreats in shame in the wake of this singularly arrogant and disingenuous campaign you guys are running, I hope you find the total debasement of whatever credibility you came into 2008 with was worth it. <BR/><BR/>Point taken, there wasn't much to begin with.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386237347480446823noreply@blogger.com
