Did I say the president's identity was 100% irrelevant? Nope.

Well, what percentage did you imply when you wrote:

Does "only on the issues" mean 99 and 44/100%? 75%? 50%? |
Try to read (and quote) things in context.
Also, yes, *I* try to follow the issues and eschew the person simply because I know how vulnerable I am to a slick sales pitch etc (as admitted before). That's very different from the claim that identity is irrelevant in politics. It should be, it isn't do you understand the difference?
EPIC READING FAIL on your part yet again Heddle. Will you never tire of your straw?

In other words: oops, I did write that, but let's pretend I didn't, by claiming it was out of context, though it wasn't. Toss in a another insult, and nobody will notice.

Mysticism is a rational enterprise. Religion is not. The mystic has recognized something about the nature of consciousness prior to thought, and this recognition is susceptible to rational discussion. The mystic has reason for what he believes, and these reasons are empirical. --Sam Harris
