Remember how canceling the gas plant was such a big deal? I bet the apologists will be out in force explaining how the fact that we are on the hook for this abjectly corrupt effort to transfer billions of dollars of unearned benefit to Ford’s wealthy developer friends/donors is, “ToTaLlY dIfFeReNt.”

    There goes the the ad hominem waterworks again. If you have some actual reason for us to think that there was a big deal, let it be known, but clearly nobody opposed it. A dog and pony show about how the government failed by doing what was considered an excellent idea immediately beforehand does not make for an actual big deal, merely entertainment.

      ad ho·mi·nem

      adjective

      (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

      So my comment, directed at the positions you always maintain, was an ad hominem?

      Interesting…
