Anecdata a la Markadelphia

If I used the same logic as a conservative, I would say that MN Sure is doing just fine. Every person I know who has signed up for it has had no problems whatsoever with the site or the registration process. Yet that is not the actual case in reality. There have been some improvements of late but the web site has encountered significant problems during its tenure. This would be a great example of why anecdata is complete bullshit.

Any time you hear "Everyone I know..." at the beginning of a sentence, don't listen.

It sure is painful for you to admit how fucked up liberalism can be, isn't it?

I was also quite heartened to hear that many of my younger relatives signed up for the ACA and, interestingly, had no problems doing it.

Missouri...Minnesota...yes, quite confusing...

Ahhh, I see. Anecdata in Minnesota is bullshit. Anecdate in Missouri is totally not bullshit.

You can't even be relied upon to have read your own post? Or are you just being childish again?

But, GD, I wasn't trying to make any other point in that post than to say that my relatives in MO have had no problems signing up. You seem to really have trouble understanding that what I generally argue is that the ACA is not an all consuming disaster and the president is not the "Barack X" you make him out to be. That isn't the same as saying that everything is perfect.

You ask me to look at your argument as not all black and white - while you place our argument in all black and white.

What BS.

If standards are good, Markadelphia thinks that double-standards must be double-plus-good.
