I'm only going to say this once. To post on this forum you must be

respectful.  I don't care what your political affiliation is.  This board has gotten quite foul and I will start banning people from posting if the tone doesn't change.  There is nothing wrong with posting in a respectful and kind manner.  If you don't like the President, fine, but do not post slurs on this forum about the President and do not post hate America posts.  If these simple requests are too much to bear then go post somewhere else.

more like a place for a few reasonable posters from each side and one poster who does not give opinions but responds to nearly every post with a wordy, judgmental, and oftentimes incomprehensible mish-mash of distortions, innuendo, and self-congratulatory statements. Give her a break folks.  She always uses the same moniker (except when she is defending her own statement with a different moniker) so she is easy to open/close or skip over.

Remember - every village has one.  Maybe she is the one missing from Texas.

I just realized that participating in a forum is the most frustrating thing one can do.  One can never win, only lose.

Look, how GP is now treated by many of you.  I think she is a very nice, eloquent lady, whose comments I really enjoy to read, no matter how long they are.  And I do not like long posts, in general.

I agree with GP - let the new president catch his breath and breathe a little, without being stalked.

You tell 'em GP!!

And then saying they can only talk about pets they don't have any more, not their current ones!  Or a car enthusiasts forum where people can only speak of vehicles they used to own, not what they currently drive. 

What's the point in this forum, then, to only talk about the future or the past, not the present?  How ridiculous!

and what I saw was that when asked the question when is someone rich?  He was unprepared to answer.  He was off his talking points and tried to answer it.  To him, one has to make 5 mil a year to be considered rich.  He realized quickly what a boner he had made, smiled and said that would become a joke.  The joke is how many people still consider repubs to be concerned with anyone but the wealthy.  They are it rich; you should be too. If you are not, you are on your own.

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.

objective views. This is a one-sided publication that asks for donations to keep it going. Nothing I read in there posts anything against any democrats, just republicans. It is not a fair-minded reporting.

I like to read both sides of the aisle but this publication spews hatred for anything not democratic in order to sell books.  To those who can't see both sides, this blog, or publication as they like to state, is just up their aisle. I shake my head at one-sided news. Taken from their web site:

"Indeed, a founding idea of the Consortium for Independent Journalism was that a major investment was needed in journalistic endeavors committed to honestly informing the American people about important events, no matter what the political and economic pressures.

Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. His new book, Secrecy & Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq, can be ordered at secrecyandprivilege.com. It's also available at Amazon.com, as is his 1999 book, Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth.' "

article.

And thanks for pointing out all the other "results" of his administration that, as you say, benefit nobody but the rich and/or the corporations or, as he himself once publicly bragged, "his base."

I know for a fact that when he ran for President in 2000, I told every single person I knew that if he becomes President, we're going to go to war with Iraq.  (Nobody's gonna treat his daddy like Saddam did and get away with it.)

I didn't have a crystal ball.  I had common sense and a good memory from the Gulf War when his father was President and how he didn't "finish the job." Seems a lot of other Americans forgot about that.

I really enjoyed reading your post and all the facts you raised that I failed to raise in mine.  Thanks for the mention of the LA Times article.  I'm going to try to look that up on the web.
