Right, because it's not an issue. No one's talking about asylum because there's no need to talk about it.


YOU BROUGHT IT UP! Now, pointing out that *your* lack of a point somehow proves me wrong? It doesn't work that way...

I didn't throw it in

Yes you did. Because we weren't talking religious persecution -- we were talking about Double Standards of the GOP. Fleeing South so you can legally marry 2 or more women = GOOD. Fleeing North so you dont die in gang violence, starve to death, or go to jail for NOT paying a bribe = BAD.

Stop with the strawman argument. Even when your attempt to insert a non-issue backfires, you STILL try to act like the *absence* of your point means there is nothing to the conversation.

No - there was nothing to YOUR side of the conversation.

One more time so you'll get it: This is about Double Standards. If you were REALLY concerned about persecution it would have been brought up much sooner than now. But you haven't. In FACT, your fellow Republicans have argued **against** asylum for people fleeing persecution.


Face it. You're on the wrong side of the argument and your GOP buddies are inconsistent in their responses. Glad to clear that up for you...

(Who wants to bet he'll bring up "religious persecution" again even though it's NOT what we're talking about?)
