But Tom, I'm the awful, two-bit liar whose IQ hardly exceeds 10, if
you listen to the way these folks talk. 

Could I remotely take it that you aren't?

That's the problem: when it comes down to refuting arguments line by
line, I refute them word by word, and I search hard for the strongest
arguments of them all. When all's said and done, I've done well and
my opponent gets well done. 

_That's_ the real reason why Susan Garvin & Co. won't come near VOICE.
As long as they've got me submitting, they know their abortion
arguments, apart from their snide jokes and total avoidance of the
facts I post, won't hold water. 

In a word, they're _CHICKEN_.

Eeeeegads! Susan got smoked by her own logic!

Can anyone explain why the so-called "Airplane Boy" has more
intellegence on how to handle this issue, than "older" and "smarter"
people like Susan Garvin, who would probably, as you said, stay home
for fear that they might cast a vote in the same booth a Bush
supporter had once been in...
