Again: The list of all persons on the ballot, from the same party,
running for all offices from POTUS on down to township clerk, whether
you can or do vote for them simultaneously or not, is known as that
party's "ticket". Hence phrases such as "straight-ticket voting", or
"splitting the ticket".

That's the convention, but it doesn't mean that persons on the ticket have
the same politics or that they like each other.

re #107: Didn't you say just the opposite in #101?

No, you and others have adopted the convention with which I disagree, but
I stick to my original opinion. Read #107 as "that's *your* opinion.

I never said Carter and Maddox liked or agreed with each other ('cuz
they didn't). I said Carter tried to make nice with Maddox in public to
avoid dragging down the entire Democratic ticket (aka "slate" or "ballot").
(I'm starting to think that Rane and klg are the same person--purposeful
obtuseness, head-in-the-sand arguments, love of dictionary definitions
to make a point*. Has anyone ever seen them together?)

I don't think it's a Jekyll/Hyde thing brought on by Rane's basement
chemistry experiments--I think klg is Rane's intentionally created
caricature of a conservative. This would explain why klg's
pronouncements lack any real originality or depth; Rane, being a
lifelong liberal, is unable to formulate any semblance of a thoughtful
conservative argument, so he cut-and-pastes snippets he finds at righty
web sights.

(You'd have thought a guy with 2 names would have gotten at least one
brain.)

There we go--a tacit admission. "klg" wants the reader to assume that
he is insulting me, but a closer reading shows that all he's really
saying is that one guy with two names ("rcurl" and "klg") only needs one
brain (Rane's).
Note also #111, where "klg" says, "(Dag nab it! Einstein there figured
it out!)"; he wants the reader to assume he's insulting via sarcasm, but
in reality he's simply stating a fact.

I thought I knew who klg was, and I happened to mention this to his
parents. Well, I *thought* they were his parents. They denied any
connection to him.
