This is not a huff- or whining. This is me not wanting to discuss things with you.
You sure you don't have a headache? You aren't emotionally exhausted?

I am not deliberately twisting anything. I honestly read your justification for Bush's actions as advocating "party before country" patisan politics. If you have a different view, I'd love to hear it. That's what "?" <--- these little things mean.

But no. Your response any time someone questions what you mean is to complain about twisting your words. Until you decide to just try clarifying your position when someone misundersands you instead of instantly accusing people of purposefully going after you, which I guarantee you is not the case, this is the type of covnersation you're going to have. Over and over. Sorry if that's not what you came here for, but dealing with someone who can't have a rational debate without giving up every time they're misunderstood isn't why I come here for, so I guess we're even.

ETA: You want an example of how to handle such things? Go find where you, correctly, caught me saying things in a way I didn't mean them regarding poll workers. Did I throw my hands up, roll my eyes, and accuse you of twisting my words? No, I restated my position in a way that more accurately communicated what I meant. It's a debate technique I like to call "communication".
