With all the juvenile name calling and finger pointing
exactly who introduced the use of the word "idiots" into the post. BTW, for you first, second and third responder(s), posting the same thing 2 or 3 times makes for a pathetic majoriy of one. Read my lips. PA-THE-TIC.
name calling and finger pointing, again with no real facts but your opinion. sm
I expect no less from Palin haters
There you go again JTBB..always resorting
nm
I commend your post for not resorting to name calling..
it's nice to see an adult conversation on this board for a change. We all have our own opinions and can express them; that's the beauty of America. You make several good points in your post. It's too bad we have to be restricted to these 2 candidates who really aren't the best qualified on either side. I still don't know who I am voting for yet; neither one has talked about anything that is of value to me and a write in may just be the way I go this election.
Maybe you could get a 3rd grader to explain it to you.
Then you could laugh along with the rest of us.
SO WHAT?? That's what my sixth grader says when he can't reason something out.

SP scores F on third grader's question
Answer: "They're in charge of the US Senate and get to make a lot of good policies that make our lives letter!" Flash pearly whites, wink, wink! Looks like she hasn't done her homework from August. Constitutionally challenged VP pick: "Thankful that the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president also, if that vice president so chose to exert it." Another time: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what it is exactly that the VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the US, before I can even start addressing that question. OMG.
5th grader suspended over Obama shirt
Well, DUH!!!!! The boy may not have known better, but I bet his dad did.
AURORA, Colo. -- A Colorado fifth-grader said he has been suspended from school for wearing a homemade T-shirt that said "Obama is a terrorist's best friend."
Daxx Dalton and his father, Dann Dalton, said his First Amendment rights were violated.
School officials in Aurora -- a Denver suburb -- said they respect students' free speech rights but also watch for things that might interrupt the learning environment. They said they can't discuss the specifics of the case.
The boy said he was given a choice of changing his shirt, turning it inside-out or being suspended, and he chose suspension.
His father told a Denver television station he's considering a lawsuit.
This is just ridiculous and pathetic, doming out of the brain of a 4th grader, not the teacher's!

You put your finger on it, chele.
They worry far more about their party affiliation than they do the taxpayers. We see where they have placed their loyalties, what they have, that is.
I think that's a bit one-sided. Can't put my finger on it right
now 'cause it's late (for me), but I will read it again in the morning and do a little research myself..
May we pick which finger??

No effort required. Just one finger.
(And that would be the middle one, of course.)
You must be using the finger-counting method,
try using both hands and all your toes. Your figures need to be multiplied by a factor of 2, one way or the other.
Really? I don't recall seeing his pinky finger.
He's only showed us his middle one.
Otherwise known as the 'fickle finger of fate'...
Then the first finger goes to Bill Clinton
If you want to start the pointing that is.
Thank you for pointing that out.
However, I still don't understand how the OP can attribute every post that she finds offensive to the same two people. There are a lot of people posting on this forum. Unless someone uses the same moniker all the time, there is no way to know for certain who is posting any particular message.
Thanks for pointing that out...

Bush has more character in his pinky finger than

Finger sandwiches? Gee, I dunno...whose fingers were they? :) sm
The other day a German company came out with "Obama Fingers" - frozen strips of fried chicken. You know, snacky type dealie-bobs.
Unfortunately for this company, they didn't realize that associating fried chicken with a black person isn't considered "PC" and they had to withdraw them from the market. I guess we prolly won't be seeing Obama Watermeloncicles any time soon either. Darn! I was looking forward to that.
Hoo-boy, it's a weird, weird world, ain't it? What would we do without the Stereotype Police?
Not bent, just pointing out..
Rush just seems to have a problem keeping all his pills straight. What does that tell you. He's was buying stuff in parking lots. He was visiting multiple doctors. He has other people's medications on him and yet, he slams someone about pill use ...hypocritical I say.
We hate Bush, we hate Rush, we hate Rove...that is the right's mantra. Everytime we point out something that the right cannot defend or they just simple disagree with...out comes the ***the left's hatred is so palpable we can feel it. They are so negative and hateful about everything and everyone, *** That is just not true. I personally have not hated anyone in politics since Nixon and I was young then and did not realize that hating him would accomplish nothing other than making me angrier and angrier. So that ***the left hates*** falls on deaf ears here.
I don't think she's arrogant but pointing out the

I believe it is a website pointing out that there are...
people out there who do believe he is the "messiah." Not necessarily sent from God, but has become a deity to them. Did you read all the quotes on the site? Those are real quotes from real people...Obama DID use that "presidential seal" depicted there until people got outraged and he stopped using it. It is very, very concerning. And I think the answer is yes...there are a lot of people out there mesmerized by him. NO matter WHAT comes out of his mouth, they believe it. Did you see the star-gazed way they look at him? The kids "singing for their leader?" Wayyyy too freaky for me. Of course, I was not going to vote for him anyway because he is a flaming socialist, but this site would have given me serious pause if I had even thought about voting for him. Just my opinion.
Unfortunately, ours is pointing at boxes and...sm
and checking off things, but the nurses type in the history and other information themselves. I was told that basically the only thing I would be transcribing would be a letter here and there, but they have never had very many of them anyway.
Anyone purposely pointing out Hussein
Is just a stupid loser. You are a racist. Obama is not Muslim but what if he was???? Timothy McVeigh was a Christian and he blew up government buildings. There are many good muslims and good Christians AND good atheists. Can you wrap your hands around that? Anyone drawing attention to the middle name HUSSEIN is trying to cause trouble or fear that it sounds like a terrorist name. How small minded you are. Did you even graduate high school? I won't be looking for your reply. I'm busy planning a victory party for Obama.
And if his moral compass was pointing sm
to true north, he would have declined representing those clients.
You can argue the difference between ethics and legal ethics till the chickens come to roost, but if this man would represent these kinds of clients and make thse kinds of oppositions, I don't think he is fit to be the second in command of the DOJ.
EXCELLENT! Thank you for pointing that fact out. nm

Pointing to reality is "fearmongering"
February 8, 2009
IT AIN'T FEARMONGERING IF IT'S TRUE.... Just today, the LA Times has a good report on the unprecedented pressure on state budgets right now -- pressure that will not be alleviated by the federal recovery plan because Sens. Collins & Co. believe state aid isn't stimulative enough. While state shortfalls will lead to painful cuts in practically every state, Nevada is poised to get hit much harder than most.
The Times report noted, for example, that Nevada is "facing the most serious shortfall," and lawmakers will have to cut a striking 38% from its state budget. The impact across the state will be both drastic and unavoidable, most notably in the state's public schools, which will soon face a 15% cut.
It wasn't surprising, then, that Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) criticized Senate "centrists" for cutting $40 billion in state aid from the stimulus package, noting that the aid, which appeared in the House version, was intended to stop states from "laying off cops and firefighters, money to help keep teachers going." Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada rejected Frank's comments, labeling the remarks "fearmongering." Indeed, Ensign seemed encouraged by the fact that state budgets, including his own, would have to be slashed, calling the budgets "bloated." He said, "What we should be doing is cutting back."
Got that? As the recession worsens, and government spending is needed to prevent more Americans from losing their jobs, a leading Republican senator whose own state is about to get pummeled, believes it's a good idea to "cut back."
I can think of a variety of ways to respond to this nonsense, but I think Matt Yglesias summed things up nicely:
The idea that it would be good for states to cut back in the midst of the recession is stupid. The idea that the recession won't, absent federal aid, lead to layoffs of state employees such as teachers and firefighters is also stupid. But the idea that it's simultaneously true that the reason we should eschew aid is that states need to cut back and also true that it's fearmongering to warn of layoffs is doubleplus stupid. What does Ensign think cutbacks consist of? States will be reducing vital services. The cutbacks will have the immediate impact of reducing the incomes of laid-off families and beneficiaries of state programs. That will have an additional impact on businesses where the newly laid-off teachers and cops used to work.
And the reduced level of service will have its own bad economic impacts. Cutting back public safety budgets will mean fewer cops on the beat. That means more crime which will further reduce economic activity. State cutbacks to child care subsidies will make it harder for people who lose jobs to find and accept new ones. The cutbacks to mass transit services that are happening across the country will introduce additional rigidity into the labor market and reduce patronage of businesses that people are accustomed to reaching via transit. And in the most severe cases, cutbacks in assistant to the severely impoverished will have a decades-long impact on the well-being of their children.
Sen. John Ensign is entirely comfortable with all of these developments -- those dreaded state budgets are "bloated," after all -- but doesn't want anyone to acknowledge this publicly. Pointing to reality is "fearmongering."
It's not enough for congressional Republicans to stand in the way of sound economic policy during a crisis; they also want to discourage everyone from talking about it
No scare tactics. Just pointing out that we don't live
If we don't start talking with some of these countries, and trying to find a way to get them thinking of other things to do with their artillery than aim it at us, then sooner or later, our little plastic bubble could get blown to bits. We're not invincible.
Pointing out that middle name is hateful and racist sm
You know that is designed to stir trouble. Muslims are not all evil and Barack isn't even a muslim. Yeah that is his middle name SO WHAT RACIST?
A racial post shooting the finger. Must be a conservative thing. Point this out.
I just read the thread and don't know what the heck you guys are talking about.
Sounds like you are all just trying to be disagreeable, no wait that's why you continue to post on the LIBERAL board. I see, that's the point. Excuse me.
We're not defending Bush we're pointing out the obvious
All you see in your view is Bush, Bush, Bush. Nobody else exists. You have yet to answer any of the questions I posed yesterday. We're not the one obsessing about Bush. I'm sure you'll counter that with I don't owe you any answers! It's really telling that for five or six days this board was mute about the Israel/Lebanon situation. You were too busy posting trash news about Bush like nothing was even happening, but I know that the left has wait for its talking points. You all cannot formulate opinions on your own. You have boilerplates ready to go though. *This is Bush's fault because _____________ but you have to wait on Howard Dean, Bill Clinton, etc. etc. to fill in the blanks for you. It's not just a phenomenon here but with all the left. You can count on at least two days of silence when something unforseen breaks out in the world, because they have to retreat to their bunkers to get their talking points straight, but it will always start with *This is Bush's fault because....
