Petty, petty, petty....
slow news day today ladies?
How petty can you get?
I think we can chalk this up to hope for the best, expect the worst and be prepared for either. While we are on the subject, it seems McC is not too sure if he should be inside of outside of his own victory celebration....the lawn may be the best place from which to launch a quick getaway. Who knows? McC has been throwing up everything he can think of against the wall and so far, nothing sticks. This cocky mantra is only the latest and perhaps one of the lamest yet. Obama himself has warned repeatedly in the past few days about the dangers of complacency. Just because we are excited at the idea that he has a clear shot at winning does not in any way mean that the job is done or that his supporters have stopped their most diligent efforts to cover all the bases, dot all their Is and cross all their Ts. McC has also said "when I am president" and O has said "if elected." For pete's sake, grow up already.
No, I'm just going with petty.
Obama isn't the one griping about Blair house, I am. First off, he needed to move early so his kids could go ahead and start school. He wasn't trying to move into the white house. He was making a decision based on the needs of his kids. Yeah, that was just terrible of him.
Secondly, Blair house is what, 70,000 sq feet, comprised of townhouses, with 110 rooms and 35 bathrooms.
Third, the only guest there is the former prime minister of Australia, John Howard, who incidentally was kicked out of office for aligning with Bush.
Let me guess, there just wasn't enough room?
This is simply Bush being a butt head. Very childish, if you ask me, for someone who is supposed to be president.
Petty...huh?
And continually talking about Sarah Palin's daughter getting pregnant isn't petty? That has nothing to do with Palin's ability to run her state. Yet people continually bring that up and consider it a reason for Palin to fail politically.
The whole point of this is the fact that Obama is spending more money wastefully during this crisis. I'm sure he didn't foot the bill for that party. If our country had money, fine.....but everyone has to cut back during this time and that includes politicians. If they want to spend their own money....more power to them, but a majority of them are using taxpayer money. Just like Pelosi using military planes. Everyone is cutting back and they went after bank CEOs and auto CEOs and gave them crap for having private jets and here you have Pelosi using military planes costing taxpayers money. Another example of do as I say and not as I do, huh?
Petty tit for tat...(sm)
As much as I do dislike the last admin, this isn't about getting revenge. It's about standing up for what our nation is supposed to stand for.
If you want to go with just everyone who "knew" about it, then that would definitely wipe out a ton of people in the senate (probably both sides). However, who gave the orders to carry out torture? Who tried to rewrite the laws regarding torture? I would simply go after the directly guilty...and that does not include, btw, military personell who were following orders.
If you want to fry a dem on something, then go for Clinton for rendition, but that guilty by association thing that you guys seem to love to use isn't going to float.
New movie...
out on Edward R. Murrow and his taking McCarthy on. I have seen a couple of clips where he says, journalists are supposed to maintain impartiality, but Senator McCarthy, enough is enough. The movie is unapologetically one-sided (ours) but even so, wouldn't it be wonderful to have some real journalists working for real editors whose companies are not owned by 1 conservative conglomerate and who have real freedom of speech.
I did see this movie!
It was a long time ago, I think I probably saw it after it came out on video. She was a huffer too, right? I just may have to get it again. I do remember it being rather funny and witty. I like her (Laura Dern), she chooses interesting roles doesn't she?
have you even seen that movie??
x
That is ONE movie
ONE, ONLY ONE... What happened to all the "oh so many movies" made about the killings of homosexuals. AND Matthew Shepherd was killed because he was trying to rob his killers. They were punished and well they should have been.
Consider that according to the latest FBI statistics, out of 1.4 million violent crimes in 2007; there were a mere 247 cases of aggravated assault (including five deaths) reportedly motivated by the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. There is zero evidence to suggest that, where appropriate, perpetrators were not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in every instance.
petty and pathetic.

Your jealous and petty
is my . . that's the law of the land, quite your botchin'. Change it or live with it. Good greasy gravy, grow up.
and even more pettiness....where's Tom Petty when
this whole board is petty
just doing my part to contribute.
How is it being petty and ridiculous because
There are so many of us out here struggling to make ends meet, put food on the table for our families and they are going out on a date at our expense? I did not vote for O, I am neither a republican or a democrat, but I have encouraged every one I know to support him and give him a chance. However, it seems that the more that I now try to encourage myself to support him, the more stupid things that he does. Let's forget about the date and talk about the trip to Los Angeles to raise money for Harry Reid. He took Air Force One, which by itself costs an unbelievable amount of money to just get ready to fly, hundreds of thousands of dollars, then you add in what it costs to get in the air. I completely understand that this is something that has been done by both parties in the past but when you stand before the cameras and ask every last person in America to sacrifice and then you go out and do things that are costing these same people even more money, I believe that it is completely appropriate to be angry as heck. Then I saw on CNN where the question was posed "is the $400,000 salary of the President of the United States adequate, should it be more." Well let's see, he travels at our expense, he has a roof over his head with no expenses whatsoever, food is on the table at no expense to him, he has a beautiful place to escape to for long weekends, again at no expense to him, so do I think that $400,000 is appropriate? You are dang right I think that it is appropriate.
This is an administration who preached about transparency during the election and, in my opinion, so far, they have been far from transparent. Even though I did not vote for him I truly hoped (and still hope) that he would make things better for all of us and so far I personally do not see that happening.
The movie No End In Sight...Thank you Kam!! s/m
Netflix has a two week completely free trial period, which I signed up for the other day. One of the movies I looked for was No End In Sight. It can be sent via mail or instant access on your PC which is also included in the free trial. I decided tonight to view it on my pc. All I can say about the film is that I was completely rivited by it from beginning to end. It is truly an exceptional film. I had seen Fahrenheit 911 a few years ago, and was not really that impressed with it. I cannot say that about this film. It was exceptional! Many thanks Kam for the recommendation about No End In Sight!!
Allow me to recommend a movie s/m
Citizen Ruth (1996) Starring Laura Dern In this satirical look at the abortion issue, Ruth Stoops (Laura Dern), an unfit mother of four, discovers while in jail that she's pregnant again. The judge charges her with endangering the fetus, but tells her in confidence that he'll reduce the charges if she has an abortion. When word of this gets out, Ruth gets caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between Pro-Lifers and Pro-Choicers who want to use Ruth to get their messages across.
If you have a good sense of humor you will definitely enjoy this movie.!
"We have seen this movie before...
it's called Hugo Chavez and Venezuela." PERFECT comeback. And I got blasted for suggesting there were liberals in Congress who wanted to nationalize oil. So I will say it again...far left liberals like Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy to name a few...ARE socialists, just more sneaky about it...until she just got ticked and blurted it out. We better ALL hope they don't go there. That is the danger of voting in socialists. Good-bye America, hello Venezuela.
horror movie
Just because Farrakhan calls Obama the 'messiah' does not mean that anyone who may consider voting for him calls him that as well. Actually I find the term blasphemous (no matter WHO it comes from), and I know that with the intelligent people who post their opinions here could not be that narrow minded. As far as a 'horror movie' - the last eight years of our lives has indeed been that; unfortunately it is all too real and many have suffered because of it. Greedy politicians and their ilk have been robbing us blind even before anyone knew who Obama was, and for Lord knows for how long we will CONTINUE to suffer because we have been so complacent and passive. Pitiful.
You have to see the movie Dave!
It's about a guy that looks like the President and when the real President has a heart attack while with his mistress, he gets hired to pretend to be the President. He then starts making all these changes - including a terrific budget-cutting scene you'll just love! Great, great movie.
I dunno. Ever see that movie...something about....
soylent green? LOL.
There's a movie on TV right now, called....sm
"Mortal Storm."
The movie begins on the night that Hitler was appointed as chancellor in 1933.
There are a lot of parallels between then....and now.
That's all I'll say.
Waterboarding! Have you seen the movie, TAKEN?
Obama's little girls were taken or any other government offical's kids were taken, there would be no hesitation and would definitely use waterboarding.
Oh wait! Obama would rather reason? Ha, ha.
Great try at a comeback. You are just as petty as

They may not get a distributor, but this movie will have no fluff in it...sm

 Alex Jones at the White House: Come out with your hands up.
Great movie! I saw it last year...
I highly recommend those who haven't seen it to do so. It is a real eye opener. For those that have always thought there was something fishy going on the in the car/fuel story it is great affirmation, and for those who never realized it, it will make a believer out of you!
No End in Sight (movie about Iraq war)
I haven't seen the movie yet, but it comes out on DVD on October 30th, and I will definitely be renting it. Here is the trailer.
http://noendinsightmovie.com/
If you only watch 1 movie this year...
it should be No End In Sight. I started a thread below about the movie, but that was before it had come out on DVD, and I had not seen it yet. I watched it tonight, and it was beyond informative. It features interviews with "high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003) as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and prominent analysts."
I learned so much that I have never seen featured on any news program, and the information is coming directly from the "horse's mouth." I don't believe that even the most die-hard Bush supporter will find much in the way of inaccurate facts, as much of the information is coming directly from people who were actually a part of the Bush Administration. If you are at all interested, I urge you to click on the link below, which is the site for the movie. Then click on "MEDIA" to the right of your screen to see some very eye-opening clips from the movie.
Scene from the movie Network. sm
This is old, but whoever made this movie knows what is up. This is one of the best scenes I have seen in a movie.

This is what you want? It's like watching a horror movie
This is enough the scare the you know what out of me. If Obama wins you can expect more rallies like this. BTW - Farrakhan calls Obama the messiah. Warning - very creepy (almost like someting I'd see in a horror movie)

Memorable movie quote
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is here (points to head) and here (points to heart) and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.
Ever see Erin Brockovich movie?
involved in the $333 million judgement (the largest settlement ever paid in a US direct action lawsuit) she and her attorney boss (I forget his name) gained on behalf of the residents of Hinkley CA when they found it in that community's drinking water.
Yes, I did see the movie- and you are absolutely correct!!
I doubt they have time for that petty stuff. NM
Sounds like a petty, cruel god's rules
Actually this sounds like a human's idea of what a god would want. So obsessed with rules and regulations......
I like what I see in the mirror. Petty squabbles do not rile me,
I have not been trying to rile anyone all day. I have posted infrequent, well researched, rationale, logical discussions and comparisons of issues, plans, policies, platforms and positions, trying to egg pubs into some sort of similar response. So far, in response, they run from issues and reply with dodges, slams, bashes and digs.
I do not back down from these either, because some of the inflammatory ignorant poop they post seeks to undermine my candidate in destructive ways. I will be answering every single time in the same spirit that is used in the posts I am replying to. I have no sympathy for what pubs have "suffered" from SS today because dems are forced to deal with our own sally in the form of Sam 12 hours a day 5 days a week and have been doing so for months and months now. It's like Obama. He has been relentlessly raked through the coals for the past 18 months and has not complained one single time. SP and McCain have had this same treatment now for around 5 days and they are wimping out, whining like a couple of 5 year olds and declaring war on the so-called "liberal" press....not a terribly intelligent thing to do in the middle of a campaign.
Your double standard claim means less than nothing to me, but I do agree with you that my time and energy is better spent compliling fact to fight fiction and promoting my candidate to the best of my ability, in a thoughtful, intelligent and credible manner. See ya back at the board, Get Smart. Would look forward to engaging you in a real political debate on issues, etc, should you feel so inclined.
But why is this stuff seemingly petty to Americans?

Petty bickering about stuff from 16 years ago
Pardon the pun here, but we have bigger fish to fry....much bigger fish. Rahm has all the qualities that a chief of staff needs and if you don't like his personality, oh well. What is obvious here is that you are making judgments WAY too prematurely. One person does not a trend make. The undertones of your post are juvenile and you sound like a smart alek. If you rarely read or post on this board, then why don't you just drive on by and keep on going? We could probably get along just fine without your input.
That's a pretty petty thing to be bugging you.

Ann is a biterr and jealous petty little witch.

like the left doesn't know anything about petty snipes
if the woman can't count, she can't count. so what
Petty or not, going on a date with taxpayer money

Big Box Mart - JibJab movie - funny

It gets worse.. -Money for Hollywood movie

Yeah, but they all count, no matter how petty the reason....
and that goes for both sides...sigh.
That kind of attitude makes you sound jealous and petty..
I'm sorry if you are offended by my opinion that I don't want to pay more in taxes. You wouldn't either if the tables were turned.
