Pdittie P is for Plagerize. dittie is because he dittied out my response.

Poor Ian Thomsen. He’s an NBA writer for Sports Illustrated. Clearly he’s a fan of blogs - because he borrowed some material from one recently, and for reasons that remain unknown, he didn’t mention where he got it. And the first rule about stealing is to be careful what you’re taking - Ian found out the hard way.

WHO PLAGERIZED MY WORK PRODUCT DITTIE you should have at least credited it. Then again everyone already knows it was my work product and you are trying to act like you actually trumped any response. Let us continue or are you a coward?


Let's take your response point by point...

Say you guys determine who it is, if in fact there is a member....

There's not really any way that I know of that this can be determined, without knowing a person's DU handle being definititevly connected to their real name.

who works for Watts.

It would be a reasonable, appropriate conflict-of-interest disclosure for the person who meets this description.

If you attack him or her

I wouldn't, nor do I believe anyone else who has been on DU for a reasonable length of time would do so. That's not what we're about here.

WATT good will it accomplish

Exactly.

Noriega cannot beat Cornyn

Oh, you're completely wrong about that.

for him to win the Democratic Nomination will mean, we will have Cornyn for 6 more years.

It's a little early to be giving up, isn't it?

WATTS might not represent your every value on every issue; but, he is much more in line with us than Cornyn is.

I don't think so. I believe there is nearly nothing about his beliefs that is in agreement with the typical Democratic Party primary voter, and thus not only don't I think Watts is electable against either Noriega or Cornyn, I'm convinced he's barely a Democrat -- and then only out of convenience. In any event he's not the kind of Democrat I will vote for; he's cut out of the Joe Lieberman mold. I wouldn't vote for the man if he were running for dogcatcher of Corpus Christi.

When one builds a race car, he builds it to beat the competition in the final race; not just to make it to the final race.

Well, yes. One builds a race car to win every race. But Watts isn't a race car, and he won't win a Democratic primary no matter how much he spends, because -- again -- Democratic Party primary voters aren't pro-life, don't hold high admiration for candidates who can throw millions of their own money into their campaign, and don't usually support political novices who hide their history of donating to Republicans like Greg Abbott, David Dewhurst, and several Craddick Dems in the Lege behind a PAC whose headquarters matches that of their Corpus Christi law firm.

I believe he is a smart enough to see this handwriting on the wall without throwing more of his good money after bad, but it's quite possible his ego is so swollen that's it's cutting off his eyesight.

If you know anyone who knows Watts well enough to show him this post, on or off DU, being paid by him or not, you might pass this information along to them, in the hopes that they're brave enough to tell the candidate the truth about his bid for public office.

I would just hate to see anyone be embarrassed so publicly, even Mr. Watts.

Pd: "There's not really any way that I know of that this can be determined, without knowing a person's DU handle being definititevly connected to their real name."

Haley: A little homework goes a long ways. Also, this is not a secret, those of us who are "in the know" have known for quite a while. So yes, I would say there are at least 2 or 3 members of the DU who are employed by the Watts Law Firm. Also, just because one works for Mikal does not mean they have the same ideology. Mikal employs Republicans, Progressives, Democrats and apolitical ideologies. To accomplish, one needs to accumulate support from not only ones of his own ideology but to acquire support from competing ideologies varying from issue to issue.

"Pd: It's a little early to be giving up, isn't it?"


Haley: Apparently, you dont know too much about "this indian" from South Texas. We never give up and we never lose. Once in a while we run out of time. Define "Progressive".

Haley: That dogcatcher phrase, where have I heard that before?

Does compañero Raul Cano ring a bell?

I will forward your post to Mr Watts. I am sure he will find it amusing.

I don't believe Rick approves of the divisive approach.

Truly, we are looking to defeat Cornyn.

We are on the same side.

So, if it is Watts v Cornyn who will you vote for?
