Well I'm not sure. See, you said that this movement, as illustrated in the OP had no voice in the process, but it was authored by the majority whip for the Arizona House. Then you're saying that the Arizona House whip does have a voice in the legislative process, which I agree with-- I mean she's majority whip, not only did she get elected meaning she has supporters, but she's in a position that has significance, but there's a disconnect going on here, see?
You said there was no real voice in the process but there is. Then you said "but it doesn't mean much", which would be a different assertion than there is no voice in the process. And THEN you said that you didn't "move the goalposts", which last time I checked, means dismissing your previous assertion and backing a different assertion as if you meant that all along.
By definition, that's exactly what you did-- move the goalposts, but now you're saying you didn't. How can that be? You said there was no voice in the process, it's right up there: http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1381463.html?thread=110042967#t110042967
And now you are saying they do have a real voice in the process but it doesn't matter, which would be, by definition moving the goalposts. So I don't understand you saying you did not, it seems to conflict the evidence that is right there.
