It's good cover....Ely loves playing games with people....Plus he got Mike hooked on some on-line battleship addiction....It's how Ely entertains himself.

I don't understand you, Randall. You were able to ascertain that C16's "skill set and acumen" could not be matched by SRU...but you can't figure out that Ely's overall knowledge far exceeds that of the moronic C16.

No. True conservatives believe in a free market and as minimal a government as possible. Trump and his supporters, while claiming to be conservatives, advocate a government that protects American companies against foreign competition at the cost to American consumers. How are tariffs that increase the cost of lumber and steel and aluminum and solar panels beneficial to American consumers?
Lest we forget, citizens are the core of this country, not corporations. The welfare of citizens should be the primary focus of the government. Please show me anything in the Constitution about protecting corporations that cannot compete in a free market.

When you got the nuts when playing no-limit, how are you perceived? Do you sometime give a false tell to induce someone to call?....It's the same thing.
BTW, I'm going to start charging you for these sessions...

When the word "conservative" is used in PA-Land...it has NOTHING to do with the definition that you have provided above. A PA-Land conservative couldn't care less about "free trade", "free market", "consumer rights", "small government", "escalating budget deficits", etc...unless a DEMOCRAT is in the White House. When the REPUBLICAN candidate is in the White House...the PA-Land conservative is happy regardless of circumstances...simply because the liberals have been denied the country's highest office.

So now he gets bored and wants to have a little fun, and instead of calling you Tom again, he wants to call YOU a "commie" and assorted other names under the stealth of "C16"....It's Ely's way of a little payback for getting banned by you in the first place....The guy is a whack-job, but can bring traffic to your site with his style of posting which pushes buttons with other posters.
That's how I see it, and it looks on TARGET to me and anyone else.....Next.

Personally....I 'm finding you more and more similiar to "Buckeye"....
I have background, I have info, I know what's going to happen and you don't, I'll constantly leave you hanging, I'm so cryptic that I think I'm smarter than everyone else....sounds STRIKINGLY familiar...the SAME style...

I like you, so I'm not going to get into some protracted argument with you...except to say I believe you are dead wrong on this one.
Except for the battleship addiction part...although that may be wearing off...

However...I do like you...even though I have -40 rep power points. (Something I consider a badge of honor by the way.)

And they've never been seen in the same room together. Like Clark Kent and Superman.

Good analysis. Sad but true.
Rather than "conservative" or "Republican", perhaps the term "Anti-Dem" might be more accurate. And The Donald certainly meets that criteria.

Ok that's one view, let me give you mine. I assume you've worked in an office environment. Also assume you've worked for a bad boss, but that boss was the best option at the time. The boss isn't a permanent fixture, people move in and out (as do presidents). Mature adults figure this out. The boss is not a permanent fixture in life
so, every few years you come across a co worker that moans and gripes about everything that happens in the office.... The boss isn't fair. The boss isn't smart. The boss doesn't do what I'd like him / her to do. The boss shouldn't be in the position he's in. On and on
And on.
After awhile, that employee gets shit canned because no one wants to hear that shit except other whiners (who also eventually find the door). He's become a cancer people walk away from when you see him coming. It's not because he's "right" , because oftentimes he's not. It's because he's a bore. Tiresome, immature. A cancer.
That's Ely, to me.
