And I still disagree. We shall agree to disagree. But....
welome to the board! A new voice is welcome, whichever side the voice decides to fall. :)
so just why is it that you are on this forum?

I think this forum is a

more like a place for a few reasonable posters from each side and one poster who does not give opinions but responds to nearly every post with a wordy, judgmental, and oftentimes incomprehensible mish-mash of distortions, innuendo, and self-congratulatory statements. Give her a break folks.  She always uses the same moniker (except when she is defending her own statement with a different moniker) so she is easy to open/close or skip over.


Remember - every village has one.  Maybe she is the one missing from Texas.


 


forum

I just realized that participating in a forum is the most frustrating thing one can do.  One can never win, only lose.


Look, how GP is now treated by many of you.  I think she is a very nice, eloquent lady, whose comments I really enjoy to read, no matter how long they are.  And I do not like long posts, in general.


 


I agree with GP - let the new president catch his breath and breathe a little, without being stalked.


Being this is a forum for MTs, you would
think any response you would get to a post would at least be from an adult. Sorry, the 2 responses to your post were so childish I hate to think they are MTs! I swear, I believe some of these folks are forgetting that we are all fellow AMERICANS.
I'm only going to say this once. To post on this forum you must be

respectful.  I don't care what your political affiliation is.  This board has gotten quite foul and I will start banning people from posting if the tone doesn't change.  There is nothing wrong with posting in a respectful and kind manner.  If you don't like the President, fine, but do not post slurs on this forum about the President and do not post hate America posts.  If these simple requests are too much to bear then go post somewhere else.

Isn't there a law against panhandling on this forum?

You tell 'em GP!!


There is an echo in this forum.
This goth mentality of yours is a bridge to nowhere.
Been around long enough to know that this forum
the real world of politics...more like the children's hour, complete with worn out trite catch phrases like the ones that punctuate yours posts.
That's like starting a forum for pet lovers

And then saying they can only talk about pets they don't have any more, not their current ones!  Or a car enthusiasts forum where people can only speak of vehicles they used to own, not what they currently drive. 


What's the point in this forum, then, to only talk about the future or the past, not the present?  How ridiculous!


I watched mccain forum

and what I saw was that when asked the question when is someone rich?  He was unprepared to answer.  He was off his talking points and tried to answer it.  To him, one has to make 5 mil a year to be considered rich.  He realized quickly what a boner he had made, smiled and said that would become a joke.  The joke is how many people still consider repubs to be concerned with anyone but the wealthy.  They are it rich; you should be too. If you are not, you are on your own.


 


 


The most self-centered poster on this forum
So is that all you know in life? Telling others your beliefs are the ONLY beliefs, and if they can't back it up with your oh-so-precious NUMBERS, then you win that round? So what else can you do? Seriously. I mean can you even hold down a job? Are you even an MT? If so, what specialty? I haven't noticed ANYthing you've said that would believe me to believe you even belong on a forum for medical transcriptionists. Your only purpose for being here appears to be to inflate what must be a very low self-esteem. Do you even have any hobbies? What about sports? Do you run? Ski? Surf? Swim? ANYthing? Or is trying to bully people on an obscure little MT bulletin board the only exercise you get? Or is it too late, and you're one of those house-bound fatties that can only be extricated with a forklift?
Is there an echo in his forum. I would swear
Still full of poop.
All the hysteria about Obama on this forum

that it's ignorant and very dangerous.)  Look at where all the hysteria has been leading some of McCain's supporters.  Suddenly there's a tangible threat of violence from these people, and it started sounding like a lynch mob.  That mentality seems to be far to pervasive on MT Stars.



On this forum? Nope. All you missed was

To inform others is definitely part of the forum. nm

How many pubs on this forum and in this nation
being a qualified candidate for VP and ready to step into the highest office in the land? This is not just about Palin. This is about a party who expects to be taken seriously in the Congresss, Senate, 2010 and again in 2012. So far, all we have seen these past 2 days is a GOP collective who cannot abandon the witch hunt and mob stalking of Obama long enough to address their own shortcomings.

The presumption on the part of these folks that they should be taken seriously by anyone except themselves in view of the fact that they can turn a blind eye to this kind of basic deficit in their party and the judgment of their leaders is LUDICROUS.

Palin may not be a front burner issue for much longer, but the shambles that is the republican party will be there for a long time....a very long time, if their own members cannot get off their high horses long enough to take a long, hard look at themselves.

after the Obama election there are on this forum
and maybe in the whole US, only 2 sides:

pro-Obama versus anti-Obama.

And this applies to ALL fields, even to: Is Michelle pretty or fugly?

I reckon if you took the IQ of all you haters on this forum,

so if obama is assassinated, it will be because of the posters on this forum?
i really hope you're wrong about all that - i don't think the posters on this forum are bigots and haters - i don't think it's about that at all.
I am posting in a forum, not employing a strategy.

I am telling you the action is on the Faith Forum
The election is over and Christmas is probably not coming. They are all getting ready for the end and it is very interesting.  I myself hoard spam just in case, and water, and cat liter, but not much else.  Good Luck!
My post is in accordance with forum rules.
Apparently, you have not read the moderator's post at the top of the Politics forum, which instructs you to keep religious posts where they belong on the Faith forum. The moderator has indicated that religious posts will be removed from the Politics forum and placed on the Faith forum, as they should be. If you have a problem with this, maybe you should discuss it with the moderator.
Oh...forum domination. Someone holding your hands behind your back....
and preventing you from posting? Or don't you have a cause you care enough about TO post?
Calling someone a stalker on a public forum is ridiculous!
The term last-worditis describes your actions perfectly. Calling someone a stalker has absolutely no relevance on a public forum where everyone is anonymous. No one knows who you are, no one is calling your home, no one is sitting outside of your house watching every move you make, and no one is following you wherever you go. That is what a stalker does. People who are truly being stalked do everything possible not to draw attention to themselves. You do everything in your power to draw attention to yourself, as exhibited by the sheer number of the messages you post and even your ridiculous "sigh" posts we see all the time. If you are going to use a snappy come back for the last-worditis posts, at least find something that makes sense.

I thought hateful people were banned from this forum

Disagree..sm
It takes a heartless person to say that the 9-11 widows are doing this for money. WHAT MONEY??? The insurance policy? Stop kidding yourself. Losing a love one and gaining an insurance policy is not everyones object of affection. This is the same effect of a mother losing her child to a drowning and then pushing for swiming safety, or victim of a sex predator pushing for tougher sex laws.

As far as Hillary, I think she is just as outraged as anyone else should be at Ann's comments, and the fact that Ann gets media coverage to tout this stuff is just as mind numbing.

All you said about Ann I agree, plus add hatred, evil, and prejudice and you have her pegged.


disagree here also

Colter is a hatemonger, thats all.  I heard every hour of AL Franken's program and he never said anything outrageous like she/it.  Al Franken was quite witty and entertaining and merely give his listeners the facts that were suppressed elsewhere.  He was on the story about Asian factory workers forced to have abortions by their American bosses way before other outlets were discussing it. Really!! Stop trying to pull the wool ....


 


 


I would have to disagree with you.

No surprise there right?


I would like to note that all social reform to take place in the United States has been at the heels of a liberal movement.  From our breaking off with Britain in the mid 1700s, to civil war in the mid 1800s, and the liberal movement of the mid 1960s.  Liberalism as a belief has moved from Republican to Democrat and back again more than once.  Taking your stance on pro-life and moving it to the time of mid 1800s would put you for all intents and purposes under the Democratic wing.


As the saying goes, complacency breeds contempt, and I believe that we are now in the beginnings of another liberal movement.  A little quicker than our 100 year mark, but with the speed that the world is changing, so must we. 


We as a people and government have to embrace change, that is the true nature of liberalism. 


Realistically, your views/postings justify the label.  You may not wish it, but by just expressing them promotes it.  The fact that you have never mentioned the remote possibility of voting Democrat, which at this point in our history leans toward the liberal, and only looking at the Republican party is labeling.  If you did not want to be labeled or wish not to be, you wouldn't be so quick to make your conservative opinions heard.


As I frequently tell my husband, if you get too caught up in the details, you will lose the bigger picture, which usually leads me to telling him that he gets in his own way more often than not.


I disagree
First these are pics of him NOT in his uniform. True, there are some pics of him in his uniform in some of the ads, but others he is in civilian clothes. It gives me the same feeling as when I went to the health food store and spent $50 for a large can of protein powder and got got home and the can was half empty. I call it "deception". I also think by reminding us of his time in the service he is reminding us that he was a POW and he's got a grudge against people in other countries and he's going to use his position for revenge. That's what I see when I'm reminded of his uniform.

Second - his mind. No it's not a cheap shot, its the truth. Everytime he speaks he misstates himself. When talking about the countries at work he gets the different countries mixed up and has got to constantly be correct by Lieberman or others standing around him. When asked about his voting record on important issues he can't remember how he voted and he even stated so. One time he said "I can't remember how I voted on that issue". It was an important issue and I looked at my DH and said what does he mean he can't remember, how would you forget something like that. So I think the state of his mind is an important factor in whether I will vote for him.

As for Obama...I was not talking about Obama in my post. I was talking about McCain, but since you brougnt it up, sure there are things I may not like about him but his speaking ability and remembering important issues are not one of them. Saying he can't make speeches without a teleprompter or planned statement is just not true. He has spoken at several events without a teleprompter or prepared speeches and he can think on his feet just fine. I didn't hear him stumble over questions given by audience members or media. I'm sure you probably heard that from some conservative programs like Fox or Rush Limbaugh.
i must disagree
I have read many of his columns.  He is a right wing extremist.
Disagree....
...and really, just have to laugh out loud.

Sarah Palin has more experience than Barack Obama. Just wait and watch.

Every time, every person, be in on Obama's own team, Obama himself, Biden, or you for that matter....say that she has no experience....

Well guess what? She has more leadership experience than Obama.

She has been in charge and running a government.

She has been the governor of Alaska since 2006.

She was the mayor of a city, Wasilla, Alaska.

So I ask you. How can you, or anyone out there, sit there and say she has no experience to be VP....when you have a candidate running for President who has even less experience for her.

Explain that one to me.

And while you're doing that, think about how bad Obama will look every single time anyone, anywhere, brings up her lack of experience....as that will only highlight and reinforce his own, sadly lacking leadership background and experience.


Disagree. sm

I feel the reason New Orleans went under was because the National Guard, tanks, etc. were all in Iraq.


Doesn't it bother you that Palin actually said, her son was going to Iraq to fight the people that attacked us?  Clueless.


I agree that McCain is a war hero, so is my dad, but he certainly is not qualified to be President.


I have to disagree with you on that.
Nm
and I disagree with you so

maybe we both will be kicked off too for disagreeing.


Sam does research before posting an answer to some of the statements told here, then posts the links so we can all see what is the truth, not just a few. Anyone who cares anything about this country would do the same.  It's not rocket science. The problem is some people on this board don't care to listen. They're right and everybody else is wrong.They think sam is attacking them personally, when he/she is not, just stating FACTS, not untruths.


Sorry, OT, but I must disagree

The liberal media would be analyzing his choice till the cows came home. 


 


Well, I disagree. s/m

Did you miss the part where he said, "I'm the decider."?  His old buddy Richard (message says *ick is a bad word.........well, on that we can agree) is guilty right along with him. I do  not think history will be kind to him.  But then it WAS kind to FDR until the republicans came out with their "study" to excuse the fact that Hoover was, before Bush, acknowledged to be the worst president in history.


I say while you're putting Palin on her dogsled back to Alaska, hitch up a couple of longhorns and point Bush and Cheney back to Texas.  Trouble is I don't think Texas wants them.


Again, you and I disagree.
While I do not agree with you, I do respect your right to your opinion.
disagree, because
McCain has plenty of energy to get the job and more done; and Palin has more experience than even Obama... Yes, our govn't has lots of checks and balances, but if you put a democratic pres in, with a democ house and democ senate, you have a steamroller effect and dem's have not been very good about 'reaching across the aisle'. Besides, some of the "changes" that may occur in an obama reign may take decades to un-do (appointments of judges for example) and if it makes our country more unsafe and we suffer an enemy attack, that's irreparable damage to lives, and longterm for economy, etc. What about all the jobs lost with his economic (so-called:) plan, and taxation which will hurt small business and cost jobs? (100% of job growth has been in small business) How many more will lose homes, etc under Obama after losing their jobs? How screwed up will our healthcare system become? No, i want a safe USA, i want a stable growing economy, etc and will vote McCain.
I disagree

McCain is not throwing people off his bus because they don't report him in a good light.


McCain is not banning newspaper interviews because they ask him serious questions.


McCain is not banning networks because they ask him serious questions.


The O is doing all of this.


Just because I disagree with you...
does not make me any more closed minded than you apparently are. It is painfully obvious that neither one of is interested in what the other has to say. If you are not interested in debating with me, you could have just ignored my post. I would not, however, count on those greener pastures.
I disagree
What the president elect does in the days prior to his inauguration is important in terms of choosing his staff, etc, but we're not all as enamored of him as some of you, to want to sit googly-eyed in front of the TV and watch his every photo op.

The important points of his pre-inauguration decisions can be covered in the news or newspaper. I think a lot of us still watch the news and read the newspaper.
