That's not a fear card, that's the truth.

If Clinton had dealt with the terrorists a little sooner, 9/11 may not have even happened. I know this is a shoulda/coulda kind of statement, but everyone's always going on about Bush and the war - I may not agree with why he went into Iraq, but I know with him in the Oval Office, we're a lot safer in this country, as well as several other countries. The truth is that there are many people that hate us and our country not because of who our President is, it's because we choose to be free, have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and freedom from tyranny. Can you imagine someone just walking into the White House and declaring himself President? That happens in the kind of countries that hate us. There are problems in this country, yes, but at least be glad that you live in a country where you won't get sent to jail or killed because you have different beliefs than the government. And as far as being afraid of these people? We should be!!! They have nuclear weapons (or will soon) - you don't think they're crazy enough to use them? That's why I want someone leading my country who's not afraid to stand up and say NO! You can't mess with my country and her people!!! Now, whichever candidate you think will do that is the one that deserves your vote.

Here's the fear card, people.
Lap it up.
Fear Mongerer? Obama? McCain and Cheney were fear mongerer
and they STILL ARE !
A *fear tactic* . . .What is to fear in a
bother you!
The truth sounds rude when put bluntly but still is the truth. nm
!!!! hahaha
Ah the race card!
always played when a leftist is against the wall when it comes to facts. France has changed diametrically in the 200+ years since the revolutionary war, but you probably have your own leftist rewritten history book on that too, so why bother...
Is it any different than the race card?

Don't need a library card but thanks
Well, I never said homosexuals were making up these feelings. I truly believe that one doesn't just choose to be attracted to another of the same gender, that they biologically are for whatever reason. I don't believe one would want to purposefully put themselves through the ridicule and scrutiny they have been through. I have a friend who is gay. Everybody in the neighborhood knew it as young children. Four decades later he finally actually says his partner's name, as though we didn't already know it. I certainly don't think less of him as a human being. He has made great accomplishments in his life and is well known in the interior design business and has done great for himself. Some who read the high end design magazines would probably even know him if I mentioned his name, but I won't; it's not my place. He's even been on A&E from time to time when describing old mansions/homes in the US.

The question was asked do I believe two of the same sex should be allowed to "marry" and I said no. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman but if two of the same gender want to live together, no one has the right to stop them.

I don't need a biology lesson to know common sense......and I will say again, body parts weren't made to fit same sex to same sex for a reason.

This guy I speak of was raised in the church, he knows God's plan for him, he will have to choose his life, no one can do it for him. That doesn't mean I don't love him as a friend.
pity card. nm

Worried about $2,000 debit card? Oh please!
I was reading some posts on MTStars main board last night and OMG some people are wondering what will happen to the $2,000.00 debit card money the victims will get.  One posted she did not want her tax money going to alcohol or drugs!!  Would she be saying that if it had been a middle class white neighborhood or just because most of the victims are black, so she thinks they spend all their money on alcohol and drugs.  These people had jobs, they had lives, they had homes, they had animals..they now have NOTHING, due to not fault of their own, due to our governments inaction and criminal neglect.  So, until they can get their lives back on track (dont know if I ever could, sure hope they can..God help them all), our government is their employer and whatever money they get through the government, they can do with what they want.  My God, they have nothing, nothing.  I cannot imagine.  It blows my mind and each day I get sadder and more angry over the horror.  I gotta tell ya, if I went through what they did, when I got that $2,000.00, I probably would buy a bottle of wine along with finding a home to rent, clothing, food, getting my kids back in school and paying for transportation so I could find another job and then I would relax the first night in my new home with my kids and drink that darn bottle of wine..and thank the powers that be that I am still alive.. I am glad my tax dollars will help these unfortunate people.  
The $2000 debit card sm

has provisions that state the card cannot be used for alcohol or cigarettes.  They will get no cash back on any purchase. 


The government has already thought of all these things.  The card can only be used for food, personal items, etc. 


Like I'm really SURE any card-carrying feminist,
would support someone who is:
100% anti-abortion (in all cases, even rape); homophobic; pro-guns; so non-environmental as to not be 'green' but totally 'black' and one of those who believes that somehow the more children you produce, the more rights you have to step on those who choose not to overpopulate the planet.

Yeah, she's definitely got the feminists' vote, alright.... NOT!!!
but when his card gets to the polling office...
it will be knocked out and not counted. ACORN has to turn it in, it's up to the registrars in each town to verify it and count it.
Plays the religious card?
When it suits him? How about trying to set the record straight when others spew baloney about him? If you were running for office, you would do the same thing if people were saying incorrect things about you, what you believe in, have voted or not voted for, etc.

If he didn't people would then say, "See, he didn't dispute it, so it must be true." Either way, the bashers find reason to bash ... cause that's what they do.
There is also all that untraceable credit card...
money. I imagine a few campaign law restrictions were shattered with that. and yes, he took money from lobbyists in the form of bundlers. Mccain did too. They ALL do.
here we go, let's play the "racism" card again....
nm
It's always the race card with any black....

More might have forgiven her had she not played the race card.

Which she is constantly doing.  She tried to make this all about race.  Shameful and I am sure a lot of blacks would agree. I heard Larry Elder talking about it and he agreed.  I wonder what Bill Cosby would say.  She needs to stop doing that.


This does not cost anything. Just pick a card and a message...sm
Or even type your own message and Xerox handles the mailing. This is neat.
So playing the gender card to get votes
nm
Totally agree. Now with card check, bye bye

Wal-Mart.  Yeah, the unions will get what they have wanted for a long time, the total destruction of a company where many of us shop because we can afford it on our meager MT paychecks. 


Your post paints a very good picture of the destructiveness of unionization, now which will be made worse by coercion and intimidation.


I agree - paid last card off today
The same thing here - my rates got raised on all my cards as of April, for no reason at all.  I'm a good customer too, never late, never over limit.  I'm going to try to live within my means, and let the banks live without my interest payments.  As more people do that, maybe the banks will see that we are tired of being punished for playing by the rules so that the incompetent and unscrupulous can profit!
Ummm, don't play the race card here

People like you like to pull a race card all the

When all else fails, play the race card, right?
"You have a problem with someone speaking against THIS president, cause he is black and you can't stand it!"

This is what happens when you let Janine Garafalo tell you what to think.

Puh-THETIC.
Sigh...you go right back and play the religion card....

despite how many times I tell you it has nothing to do with what my Christian beliefs are, other than my belief in Christ strengthens my moral resolve.  Abortion is morally wrong and it is on that level that I most strenuously oppose it.  I have no reason to believe that if I parted ways with God as you have that my moral convictions would go with Him.  I had moral convictions before I knew Christ.  All knowing Him has done is strengthen them.


You have morals, right?  Has nothing to do with religion, as you don't have a belief in God, right?  You and He parted ways a long time ago didn't you say?  Did your morals go with Him?  Of COURSE they didn't.  You think war is morally wrong.  That does not come from any religion in you does it?  NO.  It comes from your morality.  The same place my exception to abortion comes from. There are many people against abortion on moral grounds who aren't Christians. 


You ignored my question again.  Do you think war is ever justified?  Was the Revolutionary War?  Was the Civil War?  ANY war? 


Just as you think it is a shame war casualties do you light a fire in my heart like millions of aborted children, I think it is a shame that aborted children don't light a fire in yours.


Geeezzzz piglet.  Is there a GOOD way to murder a baby?  I don't think so!!   I don't care how they do it...it still kills them.  Murder is rarely done in a "humane" manner.  It would not be more palatable to me no matter how it was done.  I mention how it is done because you continue to talk about maimed and mangled and bloody war casualties.  That is why I bring the point that that is exactly what abortion does...maim, mangle, torture, and kill.  Neither is pretty.  Both are ugly, and both end with death.  Would you want pictures of aborted babies on the 6:00 news?  Would you like live video footage of a late term partial birth abortion with your evening meal?  Perhaps we could have a half hour of war victims and a half hour of abortions?


I think you are wrong about abortion going underground.  Women would start going to Mexico or to whatever state abortions were available.   But at least the woman still has a choice of an illegal abortion or carrying the child.  The child NEVER gets a choice.  In your world that is fair.  In mine, it is not.  That being said, I realistically do not believe that we will ever live in a country again where abortion is illegal nationwide.  I do not believe it will happen.  That does not mean I will not continue to speak out against it or work with organizations to give women a choice other than abortion.  And if called upon to vote for or against...it will be against.  Just like I would not vote to legalize murder.  Or theft.  It is just amazing to me how outside the womb it is a crime to kill a child, inside the womb it is open season. Freaking amazing.  That is why in a partial birth abortion they have to force a breech delivery, then pull back skin of neck, insert needle and suck the brain out, to collapse the skull, while the head is still inside the mother.  So that the baby is dead when it is "delivered."  If the head was out before that procedure, by law the child has been "born" and to kill it then would be murder.  So, to be "legal," have to suck the brain out while the head still inside. Sick.


Going to war is not a unilateral decision.  It requires a majority of Congress.  Abortion requires a majority of one.  Giving one human being total control and choice to take the life of another is morally wrong.  Any other time that happens we call it murder without blinking an eye.


So, whether we "agree" with disagreeing or not....we disagree. 


Have a wonderful Christmas, Piglet.  :)


 


Love that race card. Pure class. sm

This is coming from someone who trained at the gym for 2 years with a black guy.  Yeah, I'm racist, all right.


Like Bill Clinton said, "they played the race card from the bottom of the deck!"

and then blaming it on the pubs....typical.


No race card here...just a simple rhetorical question
See how they run....far, far away from the inbred racism of their own faction....the same racism that mobilized hoaxters and assassins.
On a lighter note, a bipartisan funny card (sm)

Keep a close eye on your credit card bills this election season lest you end up paying for a contribution you didn’t approve to a political candidate you don’t support



A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam


Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month ? a $2300 donation to Barack Obama?s presidential campaign. The Larman?s say they don?t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they?re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook


They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud


?(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this,? said Steve Larman. ?It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.?
The Larman?s don?t want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds insult to injury for the registered Republicans


?They (Chase) kept on asking me ?are you sure you wouldnt have gone to a site in support of Obama?,? said Rachel Larman. ?And I repeatedly said ?Im voting for McCain - I would not be going to an Obama site?.?


Chase dropped the charge from the Larman?s card. The couple is thankful thay they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see that type of fraud on their own credit cards before it?s too late.


This wasn’t just some random prankster.  $2,300 is the exact amount of the maximum any individual can give to a federal candidate for office

NORTH Kansas CITY, MO. -- A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.

Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month -- a $2300 donation to Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The Larman's say they don't want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they're not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.

They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.

"(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this," said Steve Larman. "It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations."

The Larman's don't want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds insult to injury for the registered Republicans.

"They (Chase) kept on asking me 'are you sure you wouldnt have gone to a site in support of Obama'," said Rachel Larman. "And I repeatedly said 'Im voting for McCain - I would not be going to an Obama site'."

Chase dropped the charge from the Larman's card. The couple is thankful thay they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see that type of fraud on their own credit cards before it's too late.

"You always get emails saying be on the lookout," said Rachel. "So I just wanted to get the word out, that there's someone out there perpetrating this against people, and to pay attention."

The Obama campaign said they were aware of the Larman's story, but did not have any comment.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but...It's probably the biggest...sm
reason why I am voting democrat...they seem more honest than the the republicans and it looks like people are starting to get smart and *bailin' Palin*... We don't need to keep hearing her *greatest hits" version of her acceptance speech over and over and McSame's POW story...that was then, this is now...we need REAL change and we need it NOW. I don't need someone to push the red button, I need someone to fix the economy!

Fear
Fear is a rational response when based on facts. It has enabled humans to survive throughout history, giving us the sense to run from something that is dangerous and encouraging us to use our wits to make good decisions to ensure our future survival. It was your fellow committed dems below who said their reasoning for not liking Palin is because "she creeped them out" and they don't like her voice. Is that the type of voters we want?
Nothing to fear
abide by the law. Why does that scare you?
I fear you are right.
They will be back under this administration. That, however, doesn't mean they are any good. it just means they will be there. Then we shall see whether they help or harm.
More fear??
I absolutely agree with you.  It seems that the harder Obama works to clean up the mess left by Bush the more ridiculous over-the-top the accusations get from the Repubs and Conservatives.  Really, it is okay to not agree with Obama but come on-if you need to b***h, at least make it real.  Trying to increase unemployment to wipe out capitalizism?? Puleez!!
Politics of fear?
Intrigued by what is scaring you and why. A few questions. Politics of fear. Which party embodies and promotes this concept? Why? Whose agenda does it serve? Who benefits? More importantly, who doesn't? Visions of terrorists licking their chops with itchy trigger fingers? Where is this coming from? Media? Party rhetoric? Bush/Cheney/McCain? If you think they will attack "no matter who the president will be" then the politics of fear and its manipulation is working well on you and we are all doomed to repeat that anguish. So you fight fear with more fear and leave that weapon in the hands of a hot head? Does that scare you more or make you feel more safe? Do you want to base your vote on a surrender to fear?

Now, how about that other conference table vision? You fear the Obama cult? What is it that they are following? Hope? Vision? A different approach? What does the alternative have to offer? An alliance of diplomacy?

While doing your research, it might help you to go to the following link and read it in it's entirety, including all the links embedded under At a Glance. Would be very interested if you are still having those visions and feeling as frightened after your research.

My fear is that if we bail them out

what have they learned.  They obviously won't have any consequences to their actions.  We will be the ones to suffer for their greed and crimes.  However, what is to become of us if we don't bail them out?  I really don't know the answer to this.  I am just thoroughly ticked off that our government has allowed things to get like this.  Now they are sitting around crying and whining, pointing fingers, wanting special interests included in the bill, etc.  I'm just so disgusted. 


The fear of Obama --

Why do some people think that 1 person can change everything?  I've read comments on various sites, injecting fear that Obama is the one they speak of in Revelations, that he is a muslim trying to infiltrate this country from the inside out. 


I hope that if anything can be learned by this recent economic situation, it is that 1 person, even the "top dog", can't bring about a change unless everyone else is on board.  Pres Bush himself couldn't even get this bill passed.  If he's top dog and he can't make that kind of change, why the fear that Obama could? 


Excuse me, but we should fear someone who has a

Fear mongering. Do you ever have anything...sm
positive to say? You are the one who is marching in lock step with the republican party. There are good, average and bad in each party. No one is all bad or all good. Get it?

Obama knows the fear everyone has
He knows everyone is so worried about the economy that many will ignore his associations, his true feelings and where they lie.  Unfortunately, many are doing just that.  
I fear for his life.

I truly do worry about Barrack Obama for the simple fact that there are nut jobs out there who would rather he be killed than take the presidency.  We've already had one plot to take his life.  I hate to say that I believe there will be more.  I will not be voting for Barrack Obama and I do believe he is a liar and will drag this country down into the dumps, but I do not wish him any harm. 


If, God forbid, something horrible should happen to Barrack Obama....I believe it will tear our country apart.  It will segregate us and racism will become even worse than it is now.  We could potentially have our own civil war started with all of this.
