17. Again you fail to do research before

making your argument. GQP has been widely used by Democratic officials including Pelosi. There have been discussions over the years among them over the years about whether the use of it is counterproductive and perhaps alienates less radical conservatives and what few moderate Republicans still exist. That information is easily found doing a moment or two of search.

If I had "invented" or dreamed up some acronym to use in a post I would define it on first use but that is not the case here on this site especially where the acronym has been used for years. Remember that you came to the site and the article. Nobody sent you a message to your inbox. If you are unfamiliar with acronyms or references used here then look them up rather than giving some rap to the poster who is simply making a post for a community that has used the references and terms with each other for years.

The failing to understand is yours and I have no idea how you conducted yourself in your academic years but as a teacher or professor I would have failed you in a history, literature, public policy etc. class if every time you came across something you didn't know you were demanding that I explain it to you rather than you making easy use of readily available reference sources.

As I said before since it is burdensome for you to do reference search while reading an article and you don't like the way an author of a post presents his writing then don't read the posts.
