calm down.
You appear to be losing it.
Pure hysteria, much of what you say.
I might also add, that as a casual observor, your hatred of conservatives, or as you so sweetly call them *CONS* is very evident. It's ludicrous to deny it. Anyone who does not agree with you, even when they are not of the political persuasian you accuse them of being, they are labeled and you send up a cry to the moderator and THEN you insult the moderator! LOL. You duplicity is quite obvious. Except, perhaps, to you. Let the flames begin!
Can we say mass hysteria?..(sm)
Wow.. It's unbelievable the conceit that Americans have. One world government? -- that would be based on speculation. What makes you think other countries would even agree to being under the same rule as the US when (especially since the reign of Bush) other countries look at us like we're idiots and war mongers? Let's take Canada for example. They don't have the same problems as the US. In my view they are a much more progressive country with not nearly the problems with special interest groups as the US. Did you know that in order to become a Canadian citizen you have to first prove that you have a viable income? There are many other countries with successful governments. What makes you think they want a bunch of Americans messing that up?
No need to say "mass hysteria" yet
wait awhile, it'll come and I'd bet you'll end up in the mass hysteria too.
All the useless hysteria here lately.
Its hard to calm down
You know when Kerry ran against Bush I did not feel this way. When Gore ran it was a little different because he was still associated with the clintons and I didn't not want a Clinton 3rd term. I just can't understand how someone can say something so shameful and hurtful. I can't even imagine what Obama's wife is thinking. Probably one of her biggest fears, and then along comes her husband's oponent and says something like this? Just really gets the blood pressure going. Some of the media is trying to make excuses for her but there is just no excuse. I wouldn't think so harshly if she had come out right away and said in no way did she mean what came out of her mouth, but she waits til the end of the day and then tries to cover it up and doesn't even apologize. Despicable and sleezy!!!!!!
Calm - thanks - an excellent
addtion.
calm down and we need to get the facts...
Being that I do not trust McCain based on his erratic behavior, I am going to wait this out to see what happens. I would not simply just believe anything thrown out there right now by these 2 candidates, Mc and Palin, as they are too desperate to provoke violence and hate.

Judy, calm down already
The election is over. Get over it.
Yeah, like he wants everyone to know he is calm

o.k., calm down, antidepressants are
not really addressing the problem, they 'mask' it only.
Believe me if you have a grief, it is better to work through your problem, so that you can get closure.
If you take antidpressants your problem stays in your subconscience, unandressed and suppressed, but during the night, when you dream then it brakes loose and causes nightmares and maybe insomnia, because you just have to confront your problem to solve it.
This is what my doctor told me who is very careful with prescription. He gave me multivitamins instead.
Sure but outright hysteria and overdramatization
of known facts is another. the media controls the day, and the media has self-appointed themselves to be our checks and balances which is SCARY!!!
All the hysteria about Obama on this forum
that it's ignorant and very dangerous.) Look at where all the hysteria has been leading some of McCain's supporters. Suddenly there's a tangible threat of violence from these people, and it started sounding like a lynch mob. That mentality seems to be far to pervasive on MT Stars.
I understand your point, but calm down!
I have not had a chance to read the latest news. If she is saying what you claim, then I agree that is bad. Still, I think you should relax a bit.
I would be calm sweet and caring too
if I had her money. Her outfit the other night was said to be worth over $300K. Minus the 3-carat diamond earrings, the outfit was only valued at around $30K. Laura Bush's outfit was estimated to be valued at less than $5K. Michelle Obama's was probably in that ballpark too.
Even if this stuff was donated by the designers, etc., I can't relate to any of these people. You will find me cruising the aisles of my local thrift shop looking for a bargain
Nothing eery about the calm O supporters.
for the moment, especially for those of us whose jobs bit the dust since the primary season. It's not drill baby drill...it's jobs, baby jobs. I have no doubt Obama will do exactly what he said he would when the time is right.
The tentative compromise deal being reported as we speak will ultimately throw a much needed cold damper on all that fun you seem to be having over your mantra of the hour (phone calls jam Capitol Hill). Do you intend to continue to cackle this much while your fellow citizens are lining up to apply for unemployment and food stamps to stay afloat long enough until the pubs come to their senses and pass the compromise they are reporting on as we speak?
You need to take a pill and calm down, Auntie.
And.... Rush Limbaugh? Who listens to that windbag anymore? Pardon me, but your ignorance is showing.
Oh, but you meant control as in calm?

Obama's whole campaign has been hype and hysteria...
lol. Good grief.
This is not hysteria - it is people expressing their concerns
The moment somebody brings up something that is questionable (and with good reason) about Obama the liberals are quick to say it's hysteria. Watching all the news stations its the same way. It was even brought up on one of the stations tonight about the vicious attacks on Palin. Now their coming out with a porn movie intentionally starring someone that looks like her (I'll be a lot of the liberals and liberal media are happy about that). But once again I heard the liberals say that the poor democrats have been "picked on" for so long that this is okay behavior. The disgusting way they turn it around and will say conservatives are "picking on Obama", but with their dirty campaign tactics and commercials they are only "bringing to light" the truths about McCain. It's all very one sided and I see that on this board too.
Conservatives have a very real and very valid concern about Obama and his shady past (to include where he was born and if he is actually legitimate to become president). The people who are his mentors, spiritual advisors, who gave him his start in politics, and the people who are advising him, along with the dirty bashing from liberal media, makes it very hard for one to have any "faith" in this person. He is so busy covering up his past, his voting record, the people he associates with, etc, etc. Sure he's a stellar speaker. After all - he is a lawyer. He knows how to capture his audience with stories. But lynch mob....I'm hearing it on Obama's side too.
It's hard not to laugh at unfounded hysteria.

Still, nobody puts a gun to their heads
and makes them sign on the dotted line. You can always change your phone number and address.
Personaly, I don't believe much of that crap you're posting is true. I know recruiters can be persistent, but all this conspiracy theory is just that, conspiracy.
Heads up on PA taxes
Everyone has to know about this. I posted this on the tax board and main board, too. If PA gets away with this, all states are liable to start doing it.
How desperate are the governors getting? PA sent out tax forms to everyone that bought cigarettes from a Native American reservation and they want their tax money. One woman in PA was hit up for over $4,800 and last week, they slapped a Sheriff's Sale sign on her property.
Now, my DH received a letter today. They want anyone in business who bought anything from out-of-state companies (office supplies, equipment, tools, etc.) that don't reciprocate taxes to PA, to pay up. This doesn't just apply to last year. This goes all the way back to 1981!!! Since when, since records do not have to be kept after a certain amount of years, how can they do this? DH doesn't have to worry about it that much. He usually always buys in PA.
I certainly do not have any receipts back to 1981 when I was an IC!
It's bad enough the governor is "threatening" to raise property taxes if he can't pass the higher income tax, but now this. I think our state government should stop the spending like he's always done. We're broke, yet he keeps handing out money.
What kind of government do you call this? More like communism than socialism. They can kiss my butt. I paid sales tax every year I was an IC since we had to charge clients 6% and had a client I didn't know was tax exampt. So they received almost $4000 extra from me, which my great financial advisor at the time did not deduct the extra off our income taxes.
Mob mentality and mass hysteria of Biblical proportions.
for a change. Tell us what we need to hear. McCain's economic plan and "shared party philosophy" is different from Bush how?
Their accusations as empty as their heads.
That was how they managed to cow the opposition on the other board, Reader - by initiating shocking personal attacks, maybe you recall that if you were there.
But I totally agree with you, you can't fend off a pack of snarling wolves with toy gun - predictable that that is what they WISH we would do . You can't be courteous to them because they see that as a sign of weakness and take it as the signal to go in for the kill. Then they call you hateful if you point out what a lawless and opportunistic group they really are.
We should hang our heads in shame that
xoxoxo
It's a meltdown, and heads are starting
to explode!
Heads up Governor Schwarzenegger!!!!
If you want to resolve most of the problems in California, how about trying to boot all all the illegals and their anchor babies with all the freebies they are not entitled to, all the jobs they are taking away from legal citizens, and stop giving them free healthcare, free money, free shelter, free subsidies, all NOT FREE TO ME!!!
Obey the law and kick them out and that would take care of most of your financial woes!
Exactly!.. Obama="cut off our heads, but sorry

Conservative talking heads at it again...(sm)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uaK4ZXvClE
Anyone see a theme here? 
Well, then. That explains why calling them towel heads
do a pretty good "blend" themselves and many among us find them every bit as scary as Jihadist terrorists...does not justify calling all Christians Bible-thumping idiots, hate-mongering racists, bigoted boobs and the like, now does it?
We do not purposely kill, cut off heads, torture.
nm
Heads up Bush and Cheney lovers...(sm)
from what I understand, the govt will be releasing more of the redacted portions of the torture memos on Friday. Soon to be followed by more info. Hold onto your hats.
Yes, the chips exist honey. I was speaking directly to the hysteria evoked
It shows a distinct lack of knowledge about the world and the peoples who inhabit it.
As to those that perpetuate this mythos...well, if you allow anyone to prey on your fears, you give them power over you. People need to investigate all sides of an issue, not just the perspective they agree with or the one spoonfed to them.
Me thinks some people's brains do not reside in their heads. nm

I have never in my life seen a group of people in such denial over EVERYTHING!! Get your heads out
You people deny that the dems are responsible for the housing crisis. Do some objective research!! They most certainly DID cause the crisis! You deny that the voter fraud from ACORN is a big deal, and that they are not trying to sway the election to any particular side!!! There were over 200,000 fraudulent votes in Ohio alone!! I was watching on CNN about this (the station that NEVER says anything negative towards liberals), and they were even talking about what a huge problem this is. They showed a ballot with the name of Jimmie Johns. They found the address, and it was Jimmie Johns restaurant - and there are 10s of thousands of ballots like this. And who worked for ACORN? Yup - the people's Messiah Obama. And somehow you all will find a way to minimize this and twist the facts, and probably blame me for telling this to you...
You must spend more time listening to talking heads
Fall guy
Yup it looks like those courts you hold up as infallible founts of truth - they are highly fallible and can be prejudiced. Looks like they went after the wrong guy in Scooter. You ever wonder why?
Ummm...wonder how I blindly didn't see all that, Katie Couric was calm and her questions were str
I realize everyone has a blindspot, I certainly do, but when a woman wiggles and waggles on questions that Katie put to her and they were not spiteful, "tearing into her," and she can't answer them, I certainly would not be trying to get into the White House where I might become president and do more harm than good. I am sorry to say, but it is Americans like yourself who do not read the good with the bad who put Bush in the White House that sent me into a depression for weeks. If he could have appointed himself King or despot he would have. I guess you agree with jobs going overseas, not just ours but everyones? We may just not recover from this. Vote for McCain/Palin, it is your right, I just hope you are ready for the consequences. Do you just pass over everything that is said about this woman? She is sneaky. Bush is sneaky. You will never know what she is up to if she is put in the White House.
Anyone who watched the Katie Couric interview and can say it was vicious or slanted just did not watch it. Beat your gums all you want to but try to get informed.
Heads dems win, tails pubs lose. I'm just sayin'........

Oh, how the mighty fall.nm
That's what they WANT you to believe...don't fall for it...do more research...nm

Let CitiGroup fall
They have a terrible record of how they treat customers. According to a friend of mine who is a bankruptcy attorney, he said that over 75% of his clients file for bankruptcy because Citigroup raises interest rates astronomically, increases minimum payments, etc. They usually flat out refuse to work with people, so they file BR to make them go away.
Our mortgage is with Citi, and while we haven't had any problems with payments, they are terrible about posting payments late (I watch my account like a hawk), miscalculating interest, etc.
They brought this on themselves.
You really fall for all that garbage don't ya?
The levy failed because their precious Mayor Negan blew the 60 million dollars he was given years earlier to do just that.......FIX THE LEVY! Did ya see any of those welfare recipients yelling at the mayor to fix the levy? Pleeeeze! Most couldn't even tell you anything about their local government or any government for that matter. At what point does their mayor hold any responsibility for the lives lost? What I'm seeing here is any black person in power who is a crook, i.e., in this case, Negan, who took all those millions and no questions asked, then no one blames him because he's black, but if that had been a white mayor, all he!! would have broke lose on him and all the questions as to where all those 60 millions bucks were to fix the levy!!
Do your homework and stop playing that blame game. Those poor souls as they love to be referred to, couldn't give a rat's butt about contributing to their society in a positive fashion. What family planning strategy would you recommend? Keep your legs closed? How much money does one need to do that?
Sorry you have such a bad feeling for republicans, Dr. Martin Luther King WAS A REPUBLICAN!!!
Just so ya know!!
It will fall as manna from the sky.
You obviously do not understand Obamanomics, silly wabbit. (I am being sarcastic again folks, and also using a simile. I will try to use irony in another post and 'splain that to you then.)
Isnt the fall just great?
Isnt this time of the year great? My favorite holiday is Halloween. Cant wait! It has been in the 40's overnight this past week, so nice. Now if we just could have some rain.
I fall in to the you lefties are evil
I fall in this category and this is NOT TRUE.
Hassert needs to get his facts straight.
It is SO nice to see you people here who don't fall
nm
You people are like those girls who fall for the bad
nm
Well, I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears
but without God in EVERYTHING, you're up crap creek without a paddle deary....
My question to you is why not bring God into it? What gives you the right to say God shouldn't be brought into every aspect of our lives.....just because you have no relationship with God doesn't mean we all feel the way you do.
By pushing God aside, it generally gives those who want to justify their causes the lack of conscience in order to push their agendas.
