Libs won't tolerate dissent. They not only tolerate, but actively encourage, descent into various places, most notably, hell.

Better Pope than Dope. Only a dope would call algae a "plant-like substance". Only a dope would pronounce "corpsman" as "corpse-man".

Him and Andy also spend alot of time...
I guess the difference here is that too many words between the subject and predicate caused a computational stack overflow. I won't even get into "alot".

However, if Q is the proposition "Brian Williams does not know what begging the question means", then
asserting Q⇒P is not begging the question.

I am struck that the (Rep,Dem)-by-(tea party support,oppose) matrix
0.87 0.11
0.12 0.86
is almost perfectly symmetric. Each of the (Rep,Dem) answer and the (support, oppose) answer predicts the other with almost exactly the same precision.
