Well, I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears

In Reply to: Why do you people always have to bring "God" into - everything?
but without God in EVERYTHING, you're up crap creek without a paddle deary....
My question to you is why not bring God into it? What gives you the right to say God shouldn't be brought into every aspect of our lives.....just because you have no relationship with God doesn't mean we all feel the way you do.
By pushing God aside, it generally gives those who want to justify their causes the lack of conscience in order to push their agendas.

I can't hear you, deaf ears, remember. nm.

Only on deaf ears if from misinformed mouth nm

Are you deaf?
try to come up with something besides the laughable obamacrimes.com.
Are you deaf? I said not to worry, we will be ..sm
living in a democratic country when Obama is president.
Then you're blind, deaf, and
pretty dumb seeing as there's a page full of whining about it further down.
The only school for the deaf in our state
is being closed. That's how much the governor cares. He also wants to turn 500 school districts in 100. Don't know how that would be possible. Yet, he will hand out money to professional sports arenas and others that does not benefit the citizens of the state.
So glad this is his last term and cannot be re-elected. Hopefully, there will be more qualified candidates (but doubt) running for governor next election.
P.S. Know his name is Barney Frank. I just like Barney Fife better.
I must be deaf, can't hear my computer - see message
I guess you didn't "hear" my question. I said what will it be like living in a socialist country if Obama is elected.
No matter what you want to believe, we will be living in a socialist country if Obama becomes president. What part of that statement don't you understand?
Well, let's have it then! I'm all ears!
How far back does this disagreement go?
Screaming was to give you the benefit of the doubt because you acted like you were deaf.
Instead it's obvious you're just dumb.
Go to your own board. You're not wanted here.
From your lips to God's ears.

From Barack Obama's mouth to your ears...
"We are better than this."
Well, we SHOULD be better than this. Can't we leave the name calling and mean spirited personal comments about individuals by the wayside that has nothing to do with the discussion? Especially people impaired by illness? This sounds like a junior high school lunch room.
Palin makes my ears hurt with her
screechy shrill voice....can't listen to her. Don't mind uhs and ers, doesn't hurt my ears.
A phrase rings in my ears too...Can't see the forest...
for the trees. And they can't.
Looks like foreign ears are picking up on the right wing...sm
chatter about Obama's birth certificate. People spreading ilk about Obama are not doing our country any favors.
Heck, it'll be music to my ears just to not have to

Obama makes me think of "Webster." It's the ears. :-) nm

the scorn of a fool is music to the ears of a wise man.
vive la Israel!
Exactly. Some people prefer sticking their fingers in their ears to

You're right. They cover their ears, close their eyes,
what they're taught in Bible School, I suppose.
They must figure that if they bore their opponents with their nonstop jabbering, that when that person finally gets fed up and walks away, they have somehow 'won'. WHAT they think they've 'won' is beyond me.
The booby-prize, perhaps?
Fall guy
Yup it looks like those courts you hold up as infallible founts of truth - they are highly fallible and can be prejudiced. Looks like they went after the wrong guy in Scooter. You ever wonder why?
Oh, how the mighty fall.nm
That's what they WANT you to believe...don't fall for it...do more research...nm

Let CitiGroup fall
They have a terrible record of how they treat customers. According to a friend of mine who is a bankruptcy attorney, he said that over 75% of his clients file for bankruptcy because Citigroup raises interest rates astronomically, increases minimum payments, etc. They usually flat out refuse to work with people, so they file BR to make them go away.
Our mortgage is with Citi, and while we haven't had any problems with payments, they are terrible about posting payments late (I watch my account like a hawk), miscalculating interest, etc.
They brought this on themselves.
You really fall for all that garbage don't ya?
The levy failed because their precious Mayor Negan blew the 60 million dollars he was given years earlier to do just that.......FIX THE LEVY! Did ya see any of those welfare recipients yelling at the mayor to fix the levy? Pleeeeze! Most couldn't even tell you anything about their local government or any government for that matter. At what point does their mayor hold any responsibility for the lives lost? What I'm seeing here is any black person in power who is a crook, i.e., in this case, Negan, who took all those millions and no questions asked, then no one blames him because he's black, but if that had been a white mayor, all he!! would have broke lose on him and all the questions as to where all those 60 millions bucks were to fix the levy!!
Do your homework and stop playing that blame game. Those poor souls as they love to be referred to, couldn't give a rat's butt about contributing to their society in a positive fashion. What family planning strategy would you recommend? Keep your legs closed? How much money does one need to do that?
Sorry you have such a bad feeling for republicans, Dr. Martin Luther King WAS A REPUBLICAN!!!
Just so ya know!!
It will fall as manna from the sky.
You obviously do not understand Obamanomics, silly wabbit. (I am being sarcastic again folks, and also using a simile. I will try to use irony in another post and 'splain that to you then.)
Isnt the fall just great?
Isnt this time of the year great? My favorite holiday is Halloween. Cant wait! It has been in the 40's overnight this past week, so nice. Now if we just could have some rain.
I fall in to the you lefties are evil
I fall in this category and this is NOT TRUE.
Hassert needs to get his facts straight.
It is SO nice to see you people here who don't fall
nm
You people are like those girls who fall for the bad
nm
I don't know if we'll fall in that category
Our mortgage is at 6.5% interest, I think MSN said it had to be over 7%?
I didn't get to see his speech, I've been trying to read up with some articles and read what's written here (with a grain of salt of course)
We are okay for now, but like you said, one bad month and we could be in trouble. We are fortunate enough to have family members that could help us for a month or two if things got really bad, but of course not indefinitely.
We are trying to sell our house now and move back to my husband's hometown, that way we'll cut our gas bill (he drives about 90 miles a day for work out there) and we are planning to buy a mobile home and put it on family land until things get better. If we can sell our home for what we are asking then we can pay our credit card bills (about $5,000 between the both of us) and actually put some money in savings, because it scares me that we don't have any money in savings. I just don't feel right saving money when I owe people!
I just get scared. We have tried to do right. We took out a straight fixed mortgage, we didn't buy much of a house at all, his truck is a 96 and mine's a 98, we don't have big screen tv's or fancy furniture, and our mortgage is as much as it is to rent a house around here. But we are young, and we don't have things like savings and health insurance, and we know if just one thing goes wrong we could be in a lot of trouble. My poor DH has been graduated with a bachelor's degree for almost a year now, has applied all over, and can't catch a break. He has a good GPA, experience in working with youth and troubled teens, and a likeable personality (I know I'm biased lol) but things just never seem to come together!
Oh well. Everything happens for a reason. All we can do is pray and keep our noses clean! (and put every extra dime towards paying off debt!)
I don’t fall into the sky is falling category

Bush Approval Continues to Fall
Could the rest of America be getting a clue?
August 17, 2005
President Bush’s job approval has dropped to 41% nationwide, according to the results of 50 separate but concurrent, statewide public opinion polls conducted by SurveyUSA. Bush’s aproval rating ranges from a high of 59% in Idaho to a low of 29% in Rhode Island.
- Bush is above 50% in 7 states.
- Bush is at 50% in 2 states.
- Bush is below 50% in 41 states.
Compared to last month's poll, Bush's approval numbers dropped 5 or more points in 10 states. The single largest drop was in Minnesota, where it fell 10 points. Bush also fell 9 points in New Mexico.
Do not fall for this hysteria... we all need calm heads
or we will all be in trouble, republican and democrats. This is becoming the perfect storm for socialism if we do not stop being led around by those trying to play on our emotions.
And again, they fall silent.....stuck her foot in
xx
I'm standing outside with my basket. Will it fall soon, I hope? sm
...and please, if you wish to be understood by the widest viewership, confine yourself to smaller words. I believe "irony" has three of them syllerbubble thingies, which is two over the limit.
Barney Frank.....what planet did he fall off
Barney Frank wants less govt and state rights when it comes to drugs.... but he wants "regulation" and "more enforcement" when it comes to everything else that takes away MY rights...... what a joke!
divided we fall, people; no matter who the leader will be,

Right....like the news media didn't fall all over themselves trying to get first in line...you ne
you 'right-wings' just hope, wish and wait to see O fail and fall.
God bless Obama and give him strength and wisdom!
Young Voters Fall for Obama’s Promises Without Any Historical Perspective..sm
Election 2008: Young Voters Fall for Obama’s Promises Without Any Historical Perspective
By Liz Peek
Financial Columnist
Today we will almost surely elect Barack Obama President of the United States. A new generation will vote for Mr. Obama –- a generation that has grown up with the Internet. This new crop of voters has access to more information than any that came before, and yet has swallowed Obama’s impossible campaign promises and contradictory policies just as trustingly as those who in earlier times looked for a chicken in every pot.
Welcome to the disillusionment of another generation. I don’t anticipate this inevitable consequence of today’s election with any glee, believe me. To see young people turning out in droves to vote for this eloquent, attractive young man is inspiring. To hear them buy into his promises, though, is sobering.
For instance, we are told that the image of the United States has suffered mightily under George Bush, and that Obama is going to usher in a veritable global love-fest. Would those falling over themselves to herald our new president include the peoples of South Korea and Colombia –- allies both — whose much-needed free trade agreements with the U.S. Obama has opposed?
How about our neighbors in Canada or Mexico; will Obama’s promised re-write of NAFTA endear them to the U.S.? Is it possible that Obama’s opposition to free trade demonstrates his gratitude to labor unions –- groups that aroused his ire by donating to the Clinton and Edwards campaigns but suddenly were much more warmly welcomed when they began shifting funds his way?
Over a year ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek column defending the status quo against the pressing demand for “Change” writ large. While politicians of all stripes were heralding new directions, they were ignoring, for example, that the U.S. has been blessed for many years with low inflation. Voters in their 30s and 40s could not be expected to remember the devastating inflation of the 1970s. They couldn’t be expected to understand how double-digit price hikes threw the fear of God into retirees on fixed incomes and created the same kind of paralysis in lending that we are witnessing today.
They might not connect the dots between Obama’s enthusiasm for the Employee Free Choice Act, a resurgence of unionization, and wage-driven inflation. They might not realize that restricting trade with China, re-writing NAFTA and barring adoption of free trade agreements with Colombia and South Korea will indeed drive prices higher.
The United States has also enjoyed a period of stable employment. The new generation has never seen serious unemployment. True, they have witnessed shifts in employment as manufacturing jobs have been lost to lower-priced locales. But they have never seen unemployment rates go much above 6%, where it is now. In 1982, when unemployment reached 9.7%, Obama was 21 years old. I doubt he was much focused on the dismal state of the economy. Voters, however, were focused, and gave Ronald Reagan a mandate to set the country on a new course –- one which encouraged growth through lower taxes, expanded trade and deregulation.
That program was adopted by both Democrats and Republicans because it worked. People in their thirties and forties cannot imagine that raising taxes on successful people might harm the economy. That’s because they weren’t around to witness the exodus of talent from England –- a country wherein punitive marginal tax rates squashed incentives and drove out anyone who could locate elsewhere. Margaret Thatcher didn’t just join the Reagan Revolution –- she clung to it for dear life.
What young voters have seen, and have responded to, is the collapse of Wall Street. Because bankers, politicians and speculators conspired to create the worst investment bubble in modern times, we are about to abandon the policies that brought millions of people around the world into the middle class. Policies that gave people real hope –- not just its rhetorical facsimile. This is a tragedy.
