*gigglesnort* love rattling people's heads around with that kind of stuff.
Oh, I was vicious.
Me: So, Casey got 0 bills passed. Which means his record is perfect. Statistically, if Smith put forth a bill, and it got passed, he probably can't beat Casey's record. Even if 99% of his bills passed are awesome, that 1% would give him a worse record than Casey, right?
Smith Supporter: Wait, NO!
Me: Explain to me how I have my statistics wrong. Casey has a perfect record, with 0% bad laws.
Smith Supporter: YEA! WITH ZERO LAWS.
Me: Not my fault he played smart.
Smith Supporter: *foaming at the mouth*
Me: Look, if you could prove to me that Smith could beat Casey's record, but sworn statements that he will throw his entire career behind repealing bad laws, I'd be willing to gamble.
Smith Supporter: Uh, well, he wants to repeal Obamacare!
Me: And Medicare Part D?
Smith Supporter: Huh?
Me: The hipster Obamacare, for old people.
Smith Supporter: What?
Me: Obamacare, before it was cool. Well, technically, that'd be Romneycare, MA's version of Obamacare.
Smith Supporter: *furious sputtering*
Me: So you can't prove to me that Smith will have a better track record of NOT passing any bills, you can't prove to me he will improve ANYTHING, you're claiming he had lukewarm commitment towards repealing ONE bad law but no others and you want me to gamble on a complete unknown? This doesn't sound like a good idea, statistically.
Smith Supporter: Well, he's a loyal Republican!
Me: Which is kinda like saying he's committed to larger deficits, more debt, and anti-American laws. Kinda like Democrats.
Smith Supporter: *quickly walks away, cursing very loudly*
Old guy nearby: BWAHAHAHAHAHA
