In my mind it's funny because I was looking at it from the standpoint of the motto itself.

If this thread was about Democrats, I would have posted "It's like that old Democratic motto; if at first you don't succeed...try the exact same thing."
Because I think
the motto in itself is ridiculous. Nothing to do with anything other than the motto. Not a single thing. Why do I find it funny? I don't know - because it's so dumb. Do I associate it with Republicans? No. I don't associate it with anything specific. I said it, because it fit. Not because the word "Republican" reminded me of it.

I'm not sure why you're so adamant about this. You obviously lean to the left. Its not like you're letting the cat out of the bag by admitting it.

Because I specifically hate when people assume one thing about me/my intentions when it's entirely false. Especially when people try to tell me [as you did]
why I thought what I thought, when what they're saying I'm thinking isn't the case
at all.
And you're absolutely right, it's not a big deal. I just excessively dislike when people try to tell me what my reasons were when they're not correct, or when people assume my reasoning for saying something when that, too - isn't correct. Ask Dylflon.
