avoid political discussions . . .
with people who get angry if you question their beliefs or have no respect for your beliefs. My mother is a staunch conservative who will go on and on about how stupid liberals are and how she hates them. Well guess what, I am a liberal. But she is so involved in her own view, she has never even noticed I am a liberal because I don't talk about it with her and either walk away or change the subject. Can't stand the venom that comes from her mouth when she rants about people with different beliefs than her. Started her tirade at my daughter's high school graduation dinner, and I had to tell her it was inappropriate. She didn't understand where I was coming from and got all offended. She is nuts anyway and has no clue about other people's feelings.
I agree that some of the discussions.........sm
have leaned a little toward the religious side like the one below, but there was a post further down the board discussing the SC nominee. As far as Obama and anything O, the discussion is pretty much futile. Battle lines have been drawn and most discussions just end up in a shouting match. LOL
These types of discussions should be on the faith board, not here!
If you want to talk about God, take it to the faith board. Personally, I am sick and tired of hearing about it!
Kaydie...don't leave us. Between you, sam, and gourdpainter, I have had some great discussions. s
If you do leave for a while, at least come back and say hi every little bit.
Yes, better stick with
your characature of Obama because it always makes sense to take something and run with it.
Have to stick up for him already...nm

Stick around
I got a million of 'em. I'M HERE ALL WEEK, FOLKS! Be sure to tip your waitress!
Just stick it to grandma,
that there medication..she's a fakin'..we'll slash her Medicare benefits! 'Sides we can always borrow more money from China..uh,what's his name? Oh and we'll let the grandkids pay....Huh? What deficit? Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and the war? Bake sales! Doin' a heckuva job! Just keep dem hands off doze tax cuts! 'Scuse me, gotta do more speechifyin' 'bout what a good job I'm doin'. {{{smirk}}}}
Ah, the Bush way...good plan. It would be funny if it wasn't so freakin' pathetic. Heaven help us.
please stick to the issues

Take this website and stick it
you know where. We all know PUBS are the ones who cheat. Please, what is wrong with you, really???
I will stick up for Sam, too. -not a bully.

So I should stick myself in a room
and never go anywhere because it's everyone's right to display sex drugs and violence everywhere? Where is my right to live in a society that doesn't bombard us day and night with those lifestyles?
The least you could do is stick to the subject...(sm)
As far as how I could vote for Obama after 911. Well, probably because he won't go running all over the middle east starting illegal wars in the name of fighting his "the axis of evil." My guess is once he straightens out Bush's mess, which is a job all by itself, he'll do what this country needs him to do -- restore credibility.
Did you stick your tongue out at me too?

I will stick with my moniker...
Liberal, Pro-Choice, Agnostic.
Nah....I think I'll stick to the ones...(sm)
who would encourage violence. Maybe Hannity -- which violent revolution would you pick was the question on his website. How about Glenn Beck? How many people have been killed because of him now? Loved the gas can circus show, BTW. And then there's Limpbog -- the defacto leader of the pub party. 
because conservatives stick to the old,
boring stuff and it is the independents and liberals that breathe fresh air into life.
Can we please stick to issues
And not come here to start a fight. I see a lot of issues being talked about below, and then we have the messages put out evidently to begin a fight with the "you republicans".
I want to hear about health care issues, TARP, job loss, Iran, and other issues affecting my life. Not the rantings of lunatics who want to instigate something.
For all those who are "you republicans" there are equal who are "you democrats".
Issues people, issues.
I think he should stick to his speech writers.
I can't hardly believe something as potentially volatile was discussed amongst that staff before he let that one go! Personally, I think its nothing more than a diversion to get people thinking and talking about something other than the war in Iraq.
...except for all those straight-laced, stick-up-their
@rses republican biddies. They think anyone who isn't just like them is a witch. Sometimes it feels like Salem all over again.
OK. You stick with equating O with satan and
Like I said before. Gloom and doom does not seem to be working for the camp.
Sorry, Tech - but why don't you stick up for yourself with these no-nothing harpies? nm

Where's my dead horse beating stick???
The US went to war with Iraq for a number of reasons, including concern over Saddam's failure to account for WMDs, which put him in violation of the treaty that ended Gulf War I, and violation of several UN resolutions - I can never remember if it was 14 or 17.
If you really want an answer to this question, a search for the resolution permitting use of force in Iraq should be relatively easy. I'm not sure it's worthwhile, though, since the matter is essentially moot, since we are there now.
My question to you: There is a lot of discussion lately about possibly increasing troop levels in Iraq to try to bring the security situation under control. What are your thoughts on that? Do you support it? Would you support it if you could be persuaded that there was a reasonable possibility of success?
Personally, I'm a bit ambivalent. I don't have a problem supporting more troops, but I think it's as much a PC problem as a troop number problem in Iraq. In other words, I don't think US forces can do much to bring security to Iraq if they are forced to always act in the most P.C. manner possible so as not to risk offending any single faction or, heaven forbid, creating negative spin in the press.
I certainly think we could be effective there in securing the country, but only if we realize that we might have to leave a heavy footprint in Iraq in order to accomplish that goal. For example, I think we should have taken out al Sadr, even if it meant leveling significant portions of Sadr City, when he first became a major underming influence to the new Iraqi government. Some may think that makes me a flag-waving member of the Death Squad, but I have to wonder how many lives could have been spared in the long run had we stamped al Sadr out then, when we had a good tactical opportunity and could have done so fairly easily.
If we're going to send our troops over there in harm's way to fight for the security of Iraq, the dream of democracy, and the creation of a competing vision for the future of the Middle East, then we must let them fight to win.
Oh please, spare the drama and stick to facts.

Nice post. Stick to the facts and away from...
the "opinion" pieces for your information. Watch the pundits and commentators for entertainment. lol.
RW should stick to comedy and leave politics out
I saw him interviewed on the Graham Norton show. He was about drooling at the mere mention of the name Obama. His eyes glazed over and you could almost see him enter a trance. I like RW as a comedian very much. Funny as anything and I will LMAO at his comedy routines, but when he starts interjecting his opinion of politics, well lets just say he should stick to comedy and funny voices. That's what he does best. I do agree with the poster who said "another ignorant celebrity". Many of them are ignorant about the issues. 98% of the Hollyweird people live in their own little world and don't know what it's like to live in the real world like we do. But they think because they have millions, live in mansions, and that their fans worship the ground they walk on they are more knowledgeable about politics. Unfortunately because RW spouts off at the mouth with his little knowledge of politics, it really ruins it if he acts in a movie. Very similar to Tom Cruise and his Scientology taking over his life. Doesn't make me want to watch any of his movies.
Your stick-up-your-butt rigidity and intolerance -
What goes around, comes around, and people who think with their retentive anuses instead of their minds, usually get what's coming to them in the end. So if that's the thinking and the politics you align with, then I'm just so very happy for you.
You've been spouting off for weeks with reams and reams of copied and linked material that you think was written by God himself. You criticise every post that suggests that the poster is of another party, or even that they are open to ideas other than YOURS.
And the REALLY sad thing is, you actually think that what you write actually MATTERS, and that people listen to what you say and think, and that they actually care. Well know what? Most people on here don't give a flying F_ _ K what you think.
I agree. It's like a sharp stick in the eye, but it's important to

Cant' you stick to issues and not personally attack
Bwaaaahaaaaahaaaaa.
Then maybe you should stick to facts, substance and issues
The liberals attack those who do not agree with them. And it's not attacks on issues or facts it's personal name calling attacks.
I stick by my statement - doesn't make it right
And the lady who set fire to him is just as bad as he is.
You just stick with the Communist News Ninnies. That's more
O'Reilly sometimes uses three-syllable words, so you wouldn't be interested.
I understand the night stick guy was made to leave. sm
And, while I do question the other guy's right to wear whatever he wants if that "whatever" includes an political activist statement such as Black Panther regalia, my MAIN question is where this pole is being held. Are residential buildings considered appropriate places for voting polls for national elections?
Stomp and whine then stick your hand out.........figures.........nm

Is Newt your president? Lets stick with the present
There is about to be an explosion of spending and for those that really do work and think they won't be paying taxes, think again! You could only use half your brain or whatever is lucid and understand the ONLY way to pay for that kind of spending is by EVERYONE who works to pay taxes.
You really need to get off your one-party tunnel vision way of thinking, and I would say think like an individual, but I can see you are a follower of Obama, and as we all know, most of them have never thought for themselves.
I'm an independent......sure as heck didn't want a totalitarian government in power and if I had to choose between Newt and that backside kisser we have in office now, I'd choose Newt....
Too bad we're stuck with Obama and his crooked cronies!!
I feel it safe to say you have never had an independent thought in your life.....
Abuse of Power charges stick to Palin like glue.
So, what goes around comes around. After a hard week out on that campaign trail attacking Obama right, left and center, seems Sarah has a character issue of her own now to deal with. Oops!
Can you stick to the subject EVER? Oh wait, i'm unfairly attacking you by asking what you read,

Sure, my little Hitler mustache, or landing strip or fish stick...whatever
you wish to call it. Sorry you can't afford your own razors.
hahahah!! You are so insecure that you do not even dare to post a username and STICK to it..nm

Translation: I watch a lot of Fox News and stick strictly to party rhetoric.nm

I'm waiting for racist wife Michelle to stick her foot in her mouth....
Yeah...almost asridiculous as yours, I admit...so shall we cease and desist and stick to real issues

political ads
First of all, I have to say I am so sick of the ads; I think they should limit TV so they can't start months and months before the election and then can't take up every single commercial break. But my question is, has anyone else noticed the ads change according to what the public is saying. The public sentiment runs one way, the ad reinforces that sentiment. The public says something else and the ad changes to what the public wants to hear. I want to tell them "get a platform and stick to it. Let us know what you really think and what your real plans are so we can make an informed decision." All this back and forth is making me dizzy and just more proof that you just can't trust them.
I never said what political persuasian I was. sm
You presume an awful lot and have attacked here more than once without provocation. As far as Chelsea, I don't see her mentioned here. However, making no presumptions, a Christian person does not post as you do. So am I to assume you post as more than one? It isn't nice to have presumptions made about oneself, is it?
The Christian right isn't political at all. sm
There are many Democrats who belong to the Christian right. I am not sure why you feel politicizing religion is so important, but I realize how important labels are to you. It's unfortunate. Jimmy Carter just recently came out and spoke against the Democratic party for abandoning God. If Christians feel they have to place to turn but the *right*, whose fault is that? Pat Robertson doesn't speak for me. However, he is a good man and a Christian man. As far as calling for an assassination that's bogus and was taken out of context and anyone who cared to do their research would know that. But it's just way more convenient and fits into the left's philosophy to damn him to hell. THERE' s the left for you.
Political civil war that really does sum it up....sm
And it really is a sad state of affairs.
You raise a good point about bin Laden, I never thought of that. He could have died of natural causes and be buried somewhere. It's not like he was the most vigorous being (healthwise). Who knows?
Catching him two years ago would have meant more politically and *antiterror* wise than it would mean today.
Next we will be checking the political....
affiliation of serial killers. Sigh. What do you think Osama bin Laden would register as if he could register to vote....ummmm....don't think it would be with the Christian right.....? Are we going to try to list the perverts and see whose list is the longest? Why even post this, when you have cigar-wielding Bill Clinton on your list? Do you honestly think this man in the bathroom did what he did because he is a Republican? If so, that means Billy must have wielded the cigar because he is a Democrat....?
I repeat...why even post this?
political comedy
You are right. It is so ABSURD that it is funny.
BS from a political watchdog?
Do you even know what that means?
But it would be political hay if it were an Obama
@
Making political hay.
These dadgone Republicans will make hay out of anything even if it makes them look like idgits.
