Please explain how McCain's presence fits this defintion or feel free to provide your definition of dominate so we can better understand your point.

I wasn't making a point, I was asking a question. If you can't tell the difference between a declarative and an interrogative, well, look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls.

I hear Mr. McCain's suggestion for fiscal responsibility was to question the copters once they all get back together in the late afternoon, and then Ms. Collins said they should look at the IT contracts to save money.............

I love watching our government in action!

True enough. But it's obvious you were trying.


Unfortunately, you misread TMOS' post title as "Special Interests Only Present at Obama Fiscal Responsibility Summit".

Then I guess webster's definition sufficiently answers your interrogative.

No, you are mistaken.

I see, well let me attempt to spell it out more clearly then. Mr. McCain does not represent a special interest, unless you consider republicans or bipartisanship to be a special interest.

However, Mr. McCain's presence does not alter the fact that the meeting was dominated (see definition provided earlier) by special interests.

If this doesn't answer your interrogative, please provide a more detailed interrogative.

I guess it satisfactorily answered his interrogative.

That was quite declarative of you.

May I make an interrogative of you as to why that was declarative of me?

I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

I am perturbed at your disinclination and subsequent non-acquiescense.

I have been known to exhibit insolent non-compliance at times.
