It is sad that people don't learn from history, and they don't care if we have another dictator or that the country goes to shreds. Just as long as a republican was not voted in. Unfortunately people are too ig to even care what happens to the country. It's like watching children cheat at a game and they don't care how it affects other people, as long as they win.

Great post!! I, too, feel the need...
...to take a shower after reading all the slime on this board.
These people cannot understand the simple concept of HAPPINESS and HOPE for the future. I think they were all counting on Bush to bring in the "Rapture," and it looks like he maybe won't do that. He does still have a few days left, though, to do more damage.
I'll check back in a month or so and see if it's still worth coming here. At the moment, with this board so overwhelmed with hatred, rage and jealousy, the slime is just too ugly and brings me down too much.
There are many more happy places to be. 
I must say when I saw all those people in support of Obama/Biden today, I was the proudest American I've ever been in my life. I just fear that someone who believes just like the anti-Americans on this board will actually penetrate one of those lines and kill him, "for the good of the country."
Maybe Bush is counting (planning?) for that to happen.
Great post, Tired MT. feel the same way -nm.

Whatever you feel, this post is really

I don't usually post here but feel strongly about this one sm
I'm a progressive Dem but I think Hillary is the only way Democrats can lose this election. I don't know a single Dem who likes her, at least in my area (WA state). She is such a divisive character (due to the Bill haters) that "central America" doesn't want her in any way, shape or form. At least that's what I see.
Very wise post - you are right on with how I feel
And so many of us out there. His calming demeanor...yes most definitely. He has a soothing and reassuring voice. If I was in an accident or something like that his voice would be very reassuring and calming, but everything else I agree with you.
I loved your post. Thanks.
I feel the need to answer on this board regarding this post. SM
You could not possibly have done an in depth research of the Protest Warriors. They are no more pro war than God is. They do believe in the right to bear arms, part of our Constitution, by the way. I know how deeply offended you must be by seeing pictures of those who own guns defying your agenda to take them away from them, despite what the Constitution says. They are pro-Israel and believe, as I do, in the Israeli state. They are Jewish. I am not. While doing your selective in-depth review of their web site, did you happen to view any of the videos. Two? Even one? I am thinking you probably didn't. Protest Warriors expose the left for what they have become. Shrill, violent apologists for terrorists. Anti-American shills for the very people who want us dead. If you viewed the videos, you would know that. But you don't want to know that I am sure. Please stop speaking about something you obviously know nothing about. I am the member you spoke about. I don't know anyone else who posts on the boards who has admitted to being a member.
Kaydie, your post is awesome and 100% the way that I feel s/m
about the whole thing as well. We are all entitled to our opinions, but let's remember that behind these screen names sits a real person with people who love them. Every one of us has value and something to add to this world. EVEN McCain and Palin are valuable citizens and have something to contribute, even if not from the White House. Obama, although I personally do not agree with his policies in general, will probably be good for our country in many ways. I am giving him a chance in my heart because I know that we all have to stick together. I wish him well and hope that we are a better country because of him, eventually...
Have a good day, MTs!!
great post
Im amazed at how much debate I have caused on both boards, LOL! I have become *the* poster to be talked about, attacked, compared to. Thank you for your refreshing post replying to IMHO a mean spirited obviously very troubled conservative poster. This person has been on my case since day one, along with her two cohorts. Frankly, from what I can see, they are just about the only ones who consistently post on the conservative board. I guess others after a while get tired of the attack mode or just give up trying to debate logically and intelligently. They say Im a lunatic and certifiable. By reading their nasty posts, If anyone is certifiable, they are. They say they are Christian. Not like any Christian I have ever know. The Christians I grew up with were nice, caring, accepting people. Not judgmental hateful closed minded individuals. I perused the conservative board this morning, just to see which republican they are admiring this morning or which democrat they are dogging and OMG, Im being posted about all over the board. A few posted yesterday and right away they started asking were the posters gt!! I cracked up laughing this morning. No, I wasnt on their board posting. I was in Mexico for the weekend and got back this morning..Gee, I generated this much attention and publicity by just posting on one little board in the vast expanse of the World Wide Web. Amazing! After reading their troubling posts, with all their attacks (one says she never attacks, yet one of her favorite words from what I have read is troll), I have decided not to read the conservative board any more. I frankly dont need their negative energy..I feel sorry for all three of them. They sound like they are angry bitter fools, clinging to a way and thought of life, so afraid frankly of anyone else with different and/or better ideas for this country. Some people will never change and expand their consciousness as these three have proven to me. This board I will continue to read and post from time to time, as it is a good open minded and accepting board and if the conservatives post an attack to me pertaining to this post, I will not read it nor respond.
Great post
Thank you for this post..It was a good one. :o)
Great post gt!
Clinton always did know how to speak in clear terms about the basics of a matter - and speak to all people in plain language. Mystifying how Dubya's supporters claim he's the plain-talking one when every time he opens his mouth he's twisting the topic completely out of recognition or else just babbling incoherently.
LOL! Great post!!
Great post.
Couldn't agree with you more. 
Great post, PK; thanks.
great post!!! thanks :)
Great post
Excellent points regarding health care, insurance, taxes. This is a conservative viewpoint. Less taxes brings in more revenue, but congress rarely gets it.
I agree that whoever is elected will not accomplish all stated promises/goals. That's always the case. So many believe that the president has power to do whatever he wants, but that is not the case and never has been.
Great Post...Thank You!
That makes it crystal clear!
You bet, ms! Great post. nm

Great post! You just know that if
the tables were turned they wouldn't want their money taken either. I have found that the people who moan and complain the most about not having any money are the ones who are in debt to the hilt, have never been taught to save a cent, blame the CC companies for making them charge so much and then expect the gov't to help them out in some way. How about this novel scenario: Work hard, save some money, don't try to outdo the neighbors with material things and take some responsibility. Don't expect a mere man who spouts pretty words and promises and only wants your vote to take care of you. Quit blaming the republicans, Bush, outsourcing, Wall Street fat cats, etc, and look in the mirror. The gov't cannot solve all your problems, be self-sufficient for once.
Great post!
My favorite part is:
IF I am wrong one day when I meet my Creator I will find out and I'll take my Creator's answer any day over anyone who is reading something from a book I don't believe in.
IMHO, that's how freedom of religion is supposed to work. Ironically, sometimes the only way to guarantee alleged freedom of religion is to have freedom FROM it.
It is a very personal issue that is ultimately between you and your Creator, not someone who demands to push their religious views on you.
I recently heard a pastor give a prayer before a McCain rally, where he actually "warned" GOD that God's "reputation" is on the line here, and that God had better make sure that McCain becomes President or else those who believe in different "Gods" will "win."
This guy was essentially telling God to get his act together! 
Great post!
This is an intelligent, straightforward, unbiased post. The MTs on this board should take note of it and learn from it.
Great post. nm

What a great post!
I agree 100% with you, geek.
I also compare him to JFK:
Obama is elegant, a great, charismatic speaker, he has a wonderful voice, he is magnetic, honest, diplomatic, seldom aggressive and much more....
His speach during his last campaign in Orlando/Florida was the best ever, it was just overwhelming.
Great post, GP.
And I couldn't agree more about pardons for the two border patrol agents. Instead, Bush's pardons have largely consisted of crooks who were involved in the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s. Given today's current banking crooks and the shambles of the global economy, that says a lot about Bush's "morals" that he would prefer to pardon banking crooks instead of two brave men who were merely doing their jobs.
I think one of the biggest -- if not THE biggest -- injustice in my memory is those two men even spending one minute in jail.
Great post - thanks.

Great post!
You summed it up beautifully. Thanks.
Wow! Right on - great post
I agree so much and could not have said it any better. They are knighting him calling him the savior and he hasn't even taken office yet. Time will tell whether he is a good president or not.
Thank you for your post.
Great post! (sm)
I couldn't agree more. For starters, though I'm certainly no fan of Iran, after seeing what the USA did to its neighbor, Iraq, why WOULDN'T I want to have a nuclear weapon if I were Iran?
And why IS Israel allowed to have a nuclear weapon (probably paid for by US)?
After decades of "Israel is the chosen one and can do no wrong," I truly hope we become more even handed when dealing with the Middle East. There are two sides to every story. In my opinion, Israel's disproportionate response to the Palestinians a few weeks ago showed the world a LOT.
Some objectivity and accountability, I think, is needed and long overdue when we deal with Israel and her actions.
As far as being "brave," your post was a lot more brave (and well written) than mine, and I agree with everything you wrote.

The more he fails, the worse it will be for us all. I hope he succeeds.

The fact that the forgotten people you describe live in what is claimed to be the richest country on earth is appalling.
I thought your post was excellent. Thank you.

Thank you. Great post. (sm)
I didn't agree with it when Bush did it (with Obama's support via his Senate vote), and I don't agree with it now.
I believe NO company in this country should ever be "too big to fail," and I believe all of these banks should have been allowed to survive or die on their own merits.
Furthermore, the "transparency" that was promised, so far has been nonexistent, and I'm against this, as well.
Anyway, I thought you wrote an awesome post. Thank you.
:-) - Great post
I've been following your messages for some time and you always put great thought into what you say. You don't let your emotions take you away (like I do), and you always just tell it like it is. I like your "Dave Mann the Caveman" statement. Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth. Sometimes people would rather just sit in their homes and continue to be dumbed down and think everything is hunky-dory. I have a BIL who refuses to listen to any bad news because "I can't handle it". But there are us out there who want to know the truth. We will listen to everything no matter how "weird" it may sound. Because that "weird theory" may just be the truth. So thanks for posts. Always insightful and fun to read.
Very well said - thank you for a great post
There's more I could say, but won't. Your post is very insightful and true.
Thanks for posting.
Great post!! And I will put out my flag, too.
We are so divided in this country that sometimes I think we're headed for another civil war.
But we are still all Americans, and we've got to find a way to come together.
I remember how it seemed the entire country came together after 9/11. I hope that can happen again without such a tragedy preceding it.
I hope you and your family have a blessed 4th!!!
Great post, Starcat!
My rule of thumb is to compare the credibility of Bush and Sergeant Major Haney. Bush lies to me on practically a daily basis, so my inclination and common sense tells me to believe the Sergeant Major.
I often wonder if we will have another *terror* attack (maybe a small nuclear one) in order to (a) justify a nuclear war with Iran and/or (b) to frighten people into believing (before the November elections, with an instantaneous government *response*) that Republicans are the only ones who can keep us safe (if it looks like they will lose control of the House and Senate).
I guess time will tell, and I pray that no more Americans will have to die. 
To Starcat....GREAT POST...sm
Yours was a GREAT post. I believe the entire thing was a scam and I am an evacuee of an airport *newark NJ* on 9/11 a.m.
Everything you said, about the warnings during the elections and then after the elections, all the warnings stopped...hit the nail on the head!!
The poster under us says that they think we are in the minority.......NOT SO....just today we have to shut our mouths.......because BIG BROTHER is watching.
This president is just plain stupid....do you see all the things that come out of his mouth? David Letterman shows them, Jay Leno shows them, Conon O'Brien shows them....et al, ad nauseum. Bush is an EMBARRASSMENT to ALL OF US, and for the ones who cannot *see* this? Something is wrong with them too.
GREAT POST, Starcat!!!
GMTA = great minds think alike 
GREAT post, Piglet....you said it 4 me..sm
this sentence you said....you summed it up for me, what I feel and my thoughts
*Pro-life to me means anti-war, anti-starvation, anti-subjugation, etcetera, for all living things.*

yea sista - you tell them - great post
This is about the most unintilligable thing I have ever heard. They'll rant and rave at someone who says I won't vote for a man because he's not white, but they turn around and spew I won't vote for her because she was in a beauty pagent. Oh please....its so rediculous I have to laugh.
Truth is...they have not researched anything about her. We have been watching MSNBC for years and really like that station, but yesterday my DH said that without them saying anything about her as governer and what she has done for Alaska or anything they were cutting her down and making fun of her. Really showed me I need to start listening to another station.
People - if you are going to make such ignoramus remarks like I won't vote for someone cos their black or they are pretty or whatever reason then I don't want the next president to be picked by people of your unknowledgebable base.
Do the research and put your hatred aside until you know everything about a person.
