In reply to the discussion: WaPo: On the 2008 bailout, Biden is right and Sanders is wrong [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)54. Thanks for proving my point.
You accused me of editing a post specifically to be surreptitiously malicious!
Did you or did you not edit for your own benefit? Case closed. I think it's a positive sign that you had second-thoughts about accusing me of "talking out of my ass" and decided to edit it. But, you cant simply pretend as though simply "editing" means you never wrote the things you did, or that it's completely erased it from reality... or that it erases it from my memory.
I can give you the "I'm sorry if you were offended" thing,
That's pretty much what I would have expected anyway. If that's the best you can do, then don't bother. it would only diminish my opinion of you if you did. (Or reinforce the one I already have.) As the old saying goes, at this late hour, it's probably best to say nothing.
This is the level of political correctness we need here?
The fact that you're asking reveals much. (And that type of deflection or reassigning blame is not at all flattering, let me assure you of that.)
If I were to vote in a presidential

Brady bill. (And I'm sure there's a "reasonable excuse" for that as well, eh?)

I guess you typed that before I edited to include a gimme for the gun votes.

Yes... because my response of "HIPAA" may have been referring to something other than HIPAA.
