In Reply to: MT on welfare. - Maybe you can relate. sm
issue that so many people turn a blind eye to. In my experience, the people I saw living the "good" life on welfare were mainly single mothers, people who were mentally ill and couldn't hold down a job or were disabled. I didn't see any fancy cars, fancy clothes or even a shred of self-esteem. Judging welfare recipients hasn't changed in the last 30 years - they are all lazy and life is so good they don't want to work. Dead wrong. When something happens to you that forces you to ask for help, I hope you remember the nasty things you said. Karma has a way of coming back around.

You are not addressing my point. sm
We have known for decades that genocide was occurring in Iraq. I know perfectly well this war was not about genocide. What I am saying is, Clinton chose not to get involved in Rwanda, but did get involved in other incursions where genocide, namely Bosnia, was occurring. How does one choose?
The ad isn't addressing whether or not he was guilty
but rather his poor judgment.
Of course. Were I addressing the comment
for starters, we wouldn't be buried under the slimey mud discussing "anal" We'd be informed and legitimate discourse on pertinent issues.
he said there was already a law in Illinios addressing this -nm

I was addressing that to the people
who have contributed to all of this viciousness (and they know who they are). I didn't vote in the last election because I felt the same way. I'm understand that the abortion issue is that important to you. I myself believe women have a right to decide what to do with their bodies and nobody else. Would I have an abortion? Probably not, but I do believe it should be my decision only.
Them? They? Who are you addressing this post to

I was only addressing the question I asked below. SM
Which was never answered. I do not believe I have addressed Hillary at all.
I have no interest in addressing your name calling, but
I will just say here that, once again, Peggy Noonan is spot-on. If you read the Conservative board with any regularity at all, it should come as no surprise that conservatives often disagree with GWB's spending; this is one of the two principal areas of disagreement that have been discussed over the past couple of years on the board. The other is border control.
At present, as Ms. Noonan says, he is better than the last alternative. He's also the only game in town as of right now, but he does need to be cautious about being too laissez-faire about alienating the conservative base.
IMHO, unless the Republicans come up with a candidate who is truly a fiscal conservative and is willing to prioritize and cut spending, he is setting Republicans up for another 1992 - a third party candidate siphoning off conservative votes and handing the election to the Democrats. Also IMHO (this will come as no surprise), that would not be a good thing.
Back to the Conservative board....sorry to intrude here, but I can't resist Peggy Noonan.
The post was addressing someone else's son, not Cindy's, I believe.

I thought you said Obama was addressing his
just trying to clarify it for you. You seem to be easily led..... oops, misled.
Still slamming instead of addressing post content.

Whatever. How about addressing the actual issues I raised in my post for a change? (NT)

Uh-oh. Obama is directy addressing rescue plan for the economy. .
In the absence of a direct response from the bankrupt McCain campaign, dems better take cover and ride out the next avalanche of hate speech that looms on the horizon.
I am addressing racism in general & some of the racial words that were used on this board earlier (s
I am not an Obama supporter specifically because of his pastor's racial biases against white people and because I disagree with Obama's stance on partial birth abortion. I am against racism in all forms. I am against Obama's terrorist friends, I am very unhappy about the church Obama attended for 20 years. I am voting for McCain ONLY to vote against Obama because I do not want him to be our president. Both candidates have a lot of bad history & I wish there was another option. However, I love people of all races. You are making this into a racial election. I want to leave racial terms like "towelhead" and "oreo" and "halfbreed" off of this board. Do you find those words necessary to make your points? If so, your vocabulary and mind are obviously very limited.
