"Bipartisanship is absolutely essential.... It's too easy to demagogue this for one side or the other," added Kolbe.

Why don't y'all plutarchi just give up and find another message board? I can send you a list. It'd be really cool if you actually made good on your threat to leave. You wouldn't be missed.

[pun intended] just following up on Faldage's thought:
Chiefly U.S.
[f. prec.]
1. intr. To play the demagogue. 1656 HARRINGTON Oceana 143 When that same ranting fellow Alcibiades fell a demagoging for the Sicilian War. 1850 Congress. Globe 24 July App. 940 In Ohio, the master-spirits of the party, while demagoging upon the stump, have promised the people [etc.]. 1867 Ibid. 16 Mar. 146/1 There was a great temptation presented to members of the Republican party now to demagogue. 1876 Congress. Rec. 1 July 4338/1, I have not been one of those..trying to cut down a few dollars for the purpose of demagoguing before the county.
2. trans. To deal with (a matter) after the fashion of a demagogue. 1890 Cincinnati Commercial Gaz. 31 July, The President never thought of demagoging the matter by..spurning the goodly gift. 1897 Congress. Rec. 20 Feb. 2041/2 Here is a plain, common-sense question, not to be demogogued in any way.

Well boys, not to fight Plutarch's battles, I'm sure he can cope much better than I, but I wonder, if you question Plutarch's interpretation of TEd's opening peeve don't you think it proper to simply ask TEd what he meant? And Annastrophic, was there something that I missed that caused your incongruous and outrageous attack on poor Plutarch? Come on gang, life is too short!

Dear ASp, it seems that I took Faldage's remark too literally. That is regretable.

I don't find it *incongruous at all, especially with that big smile at the end ...and "outrageous", well, I have to say... ...no, I don't *have to say... You're correct! Life is too short! peace ... Meanwhile, back in the pen...
