Ok .. so my spelling is atrocious .. what do you want to make of it.
No, I merely checked the thesaurus for promote, and there it was ... support. Thus one could conclude they may be interchangable.
You continue to lead on this holy crusade of being 100% right 100% of the time and in this case you are absolutely wrong and you are the only one who fails to understand that.
The surveys supported my statement, they did not promote my statement, but had they promoted my statement, I could have stated they supported it. Unless their statements were a lie, and since I have no way to disprove it, the primafacia evidence is in my favor, you lose again.
This has become a discussion of semantics over what this particular word means, who said what who meant what and what you choose to believe. I personally don't care, you have changed your argument from one thing to the other .. when you can't get very far on one item you change top another, all the while claiming you never changed .. that everyone else must be wrong. You have IMHO, put the likes of some of the best politicians to shame with your incessant maneuvering around the issue.
I will cease to become a part of this discussion as it has absolutely no bearing on the original discussion of this thread.
