New All I did...
...if you would have bothered to follow along...is challenge the statement that all candidates used millions of their own money...something that you already know to be true (and so do I)...

And for that, I get launched into about corporate interest in politics...an item which we already discussed...and I already pointed out that I agree with you that it needs to be changed.

In other words...we've had the discussion...no need to bring it up again. If you'ld follow along instead of just reading my posts (keeping with the thread is goot (tm))..then you'd save yourself some typing and me the problem of telling you again that I agree with you already re: campaign financing.

We don't agree in the corporation as the supreme evil...but on that we will probably never even get close.

oops...that would be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything...

Don't know if that covers Supreme (or even demi-) evil...I'll have to ask the mice.

New Challenging a red-herring...how quaint.
And here I thought you passed high-school English.
...if you would have bothered to follow along...is challenge the statement that all candidates used millions of their own money...something that you already know to be true (and so do I)... [emphasis added]

Of course not all candidates use their own money. That is self-obvious.....and had that been my original premise, we could have dispensed with this a long time ago. Now let's try debating the actual issue, and not create straw men.

Reading is a skill.

New Nah...
...because I'll post to you and then have to deal with Ashton flying in from left field again.

Besides, we're not horribly far apart on this point...and probably agree almost across the board...

So its not really worth a debate.

New OK, but as far as a Left Fielder goes...
...Ash is one of the more entertaining (Certainly better than anything the Cubs have come up with in the last...oh, say 2 decades...)

And he's even occasionally enlightening (at least, he makes you think, don't he...)
