then I’m skeptical that the study of logic was something you’ve practiced.

Try to follow – this diary is trying to show that Pace is some kind of hypocrite because he criticizes Tipton’s position on the payroll tax, while apparently supporting prop 103, which is sales tax. I’m addressing the fact that the differences between the two kinds of tax make this conclusion false, because it rests on the false equivalence of the two kinds of tax.

BTW, who is Matt Arnold? I’ve never heard of him.

And, good luck with your “piss boy” thing. I really don’t see how something he did as a dumb kid is going to haunt him now. Heck, did Bill Ritter’s accident in Africa stop him from winning in 2006?

being the operative phrase. Although I’m sure you got an ‘A’ in your community college Logic class (don’t worry Bam Bam’s got the tab!), you seem to disregard the obvious false equivalence: federal and state taxes. Or maybe is it Congress and the State House? Sorry I can’t seem to figure it out, my degrees are in a worthwhile field.

In any event, Sally “Piss Boy” Pace, has some serious flaws you should’ve addressed. Colorado families can afford state taxes, just not federal taxes? He needs to take positions on federal issues, because he’s a state rep? (and avoid state issues, of course?)

Again, sorry if I misunderstood “false equivalence,” but please understand I didn’t graduate with a liberal arts degree; so as you can understand I don’t get the luxury of sitting home collecting welfare checks contemplating these vital questions all day. Nor have I come up with a quote to end my comments, as you and Matt Arnold have been fortunate enough to do. Feel free to cut and paste as you see fit, as midterms approach.

Conflating the two is known as a “false equivalence.”

All the GOP has to do is point out the many Sal Paces that his campaign is selling.

Based on this post, it looks like Pace will struggle to get away with it.
