How is this considered effective and balanced political debate?

You two are....peas in a pod....twins joined at the brain....










actually more like a ventriloquist and his buddy. Just not sure which one's hand is up which one's back. "I second that." "Oh I just got goose bumps." lol. Gotta love you two. So entertaining.

Not exactly my favorite....lol (sm)

But he does actually look at issues.  I think he often takes on the role of the bad guy to try to prove a point, and he's taken out of context often because of that. 


Speaking of transparency, they are starting a new website called recovery.org.  I've already been there, and there isn't anything on there yet, but the purpose of it is to show where all the money goes once Obama passes the stimulus package.  That should be interesting.  I already have my calculator ready....lol.


That's their favorite tactic! sm
All "neocons" are liars.  It has to be true because they say so.  They don't know what neocon means.  It's a catch phrase they hear in the liberal media and they think they are being cool using it.
They were just using one of your favorite words
or do you own the copyright of the word liar?
Perhaps one of my most favorite quotes...from

a plain-spoken man who I admire...Will Rogers.


"I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons."


 


Yep, and don't forget...your favorite....
the Terminator....lol...
That was my favorite part
of the dog and pony show...boy wonder being flustered when asked the Biden question. He clearly doesn't like Biden; but was too wimpy to pick Hillary.

My favorite is SR's "We don't know what plan is"

Forced into that positin by your favorite...
political party, the DEMOCRATS. McCain told them this was coming in 2005. Sponsored legislation to look closer at Fannie/Freddie. The Democrats (big money buddies with Freddie/Fannie) blocked it. And here we are...Freddie/Fannie started the freefall. And let's not forget Barney Frank...another Democrat...pushing Fannie/Freddie to make those subprime loans to minorities and low income folks who did not have a hope in heck of paying it back. Most with no credit or bad credit. And THOSE are the people we are bailing out. Wonder how many of THEM are Democrats??

Yes, it is form of socialism, but at least we do not have SOCIALISTS in charge of it. If we elect Obama, we WILL have a hard core socialist in control.

Be careful what you ask for.
Have I shown you my favorite pic of our elitist?
//
There you go...hit on another favorite. Pinto beans...
fried potatoes and cornbread. Yum. Growing up that was a staple for us. And boy did I (and still do) love it!!
My other favorite Ripley line

When she is told of the significant dollar value of the company factory she wants to destroy, she says, 'Well they can BILL me.'   And somehow, that's a pretty pithy saying for the times, too. 


By the way, I think fava beans taste nasty.  Can't imagine what you see in them.


FOX news is my favorite. And, I am not jealous of
nm
my favorite place to stay current

on the issues in politics is Media Matters America.  As the name explains, they monitor all forms of media and report on the distortions and misinformation. They give factual rebuttals. They make it a lot easier to sort fact from fiction.


 


The favorite tactic of the left....you have nothing substantial...
attack and belittle. Don't even realize how it reflects on them...or don't care.
Yea but he didn't have to pre-empt my favorite programs
Judge Joe and Judge Alex. They were gonna be pretty good today. Guess I'll have to wait for re-runs. LOL
garlic and parmesan cheese is my favorite....sm
I wish I really had some....lol
For fun and relaxation...don't watch a lot of TV...do do some work in the yard, but my favorite r
with my horses and my Corgis. That is something the whole family enjoys. No deep thinking, just pure enjoyment.

Totally off the subject also...I get creeped out seeing Bill and Hillary and Chelsea together...they look more like business partners than family. Very weird dynamic going on there. At least Fred married the younger woman and they have two beautiful kids together, and actually look like they care about each other. Hard to find fault with that, at least for me.

And totally off the subject again...John Kerry creeped me out from day one, even before the botox. Yikes. lol. And Richard Nixon...even pictures of him creep me out.

Enough of this...Corgis need attention.

God bless, and have a good evening!


I believe the youngest was named after her favorite band...Van Halen....nm
lol
Same here. I am adding DeFazio and Kaptur to my favorite list. sm
They work for the people. Obama, McCain, and the others who voted for that bailout knowing full well what the consequences were have their lips firmly planted on the behinds of the establishment.
Don't take it so personal...sm
This is a debate. We will not always agree. It is perfectly normal for you to agree on one thing and be opposed on something else, especially talking with people on the opposite of your political spectrum.

Ward Churchill - see below

Would I care of someone judged me for posting an F-word, no because I apologized and it truly was a mistake, believe it or not. I'm sure no such apology will come from Ann to these widows.

What question is it that I didn't answer?

You are right, it is personal. sm
And it has consequences and I am not talking about physical ones.
cant we do without the personal

attacks?  Hippocrite.  (A hippo crossed with a hypocrite). 


 


SOY was the one who made it personal anyway.
**This fits many on THIS board...To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.**

Maybe you missed that because you've stereotyped, judged and sentenced the liberals already.


POLITICS NOT PERSONAL
I believe you are mistaken. It is almost impossible to carry on a political discussion without getting personal. Political alignments are based on personal beliefs. And as for you trials and tribulations, she said nothing about what you've gone through in your life with the exception of, you know nothing of persecution.
stooping to personal

insults, are we now?  Did you read Wally Lamb's book "She's Come Unhinged?""  A good read.


 


Right back at you...without the personal hit of course..
it is obvious whose value system is skewed. You resort to name calling and personal attacks...judging one's mental health...and sorry, when you let Clinton slide on perjury you lose all credibility of if Clinton had done this you would be disgusted...while that might be personally true, you would not be on this board crucifying him. And please, don't even try to say you would not.
I have never said anything personal about Obama.
I have nothing against him. He has a beautiful family. I am sure he is sincere...the point is, I don't agree with him. I think he is the wrong man for the job. I feel strongly about that. That is why I reply.

I have never attacked him personally, made jokes nasty jokes about him, and certainly not his family. Yet i see that constantly from the other side. The extent of the hatred and nastiness on this site might not bother anyone else...but as an Independent, it puts me off the Dem party...big time, and any positives are pretty much buried in tons of mud. That seems to be the way they do politics...see it in the mainstream media, on the dailykos (referred to one poster as a place where liberals go to post opinion...have you ever read anything there??)...if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

If there are any positives, please point them out to me. I would like to see them.

I suspect what the answer would be if they answered honestly. Of course they would support him. Because he is Obama. Because he is a Democrat. The rules are different for him.

There are indeed two Americas, and that is the way they want it. THeir way or the highway. Choice for them but not for anyone else. Freedom of religion as long as you never mention it. Does that sound like America to you?
we don;t need personal attacks.

No need for personal potshots....
that actually reflect worse on you than the people you ridicule.
you have a personal vendetta against her and...
You continue to post time and time again saying sam this or sam that. We all enjoy hearing sams opinions and viewpoints. She is not the bully on this site (it seems you are). She has done nothing wrong to deserve being kicked off. Maybe the moderator ought to kick you off. How would you like it.

Moderate please do NOT kick sam off this board because others don't like what she has to say. I've never found her to be insulting towards others and from my understanding this is a board where we can all share things we have heard and our opinions. We all (well most of us) love sam and the due diligence she uses to research articles and she has never been rude to others and has done nothing to deserve being denied access. I have learned a lot from her posts.

Thank you moderator if you are reading this.
personal attacks are

not allowed on this board. Stop immediately.


 


personal attacks are

not allowed on this board.  Stop attacking me personally with your imagining what I have or don't have in my work area.  Stick to the issues.


 


Why the personal attacks?

This has nothing to do with this conversation.  What this person makes and why they make that is none of our business.  The point was that she didn't live beyond her means and doesn't want a handout and that right there makes her a heck of a lot better than a lot of people. 


it is a personal choice
If you make it a religious choice, it is a toss up. Most Jews believe life begins at first breath, just like when God breathed into Adam's nostril. Protestants are divided on the issue. Many mainline/reform churches take the choice stance, including PC-USA and others.

I believe it is a tough decision, but I sure as heck don't see it as murder. Since you do, you probably should not have an abortion. Since my DH had a vasectomy, I probably won't need one. But if am raped, or the vas were to fail, you can be darn sure I want to be able to make that choice.
nothing personal - it's just politics!!! nm

Does personal responsibility mean
get off your lazy a$$, find a job, don't expect a handout, free healthcare, free college, maybe work for a living instead of expecting those of us who have been responsible to foot your bill??
What I have is personal bitterness...(sm)

for an organization operating under the pretense of religion molesting children.  Not only did they do it, they obviously condoned it by hiding the fact.  I must be nice to be a religious -- it's such a blinding experience.  You don't have to see the world as it really is.  You can just make assumptions based on your religion. 


I actually commend you on adopting children.  I do, however, wish more people would adopt children in this country.  I think it's a little bit of a double standard when one would go overseas to find a child to suit their desires and at the same time condemn this country over social issues.


And since you're waiting.....


http://www.adoptuskids.org/Child/ChildSearch.aspx


When you go to this page, don't change the criteria under *child profile* to look for the perfect child, just go to the bottom of the page and hit *search.*  I came up with 3466 children waiting for a home -- and that's just out of one agency.


how was that a personal attack?
telling you you aren't better than everyone? At least I'm not callng people mentally challenged. yes i know that wasn't you, you are the friend that just laughs along with the bully...

and if you wanna point fingers about me not responding the way you think I should have, i dont see you responding to the person giving their opinion on what trickle up means...

give it a rest it's freaking Christmas time
you obviously HAVE to have the last word so i'll let you have it. pretty pathetic that you spend your time trying to cut other people down... is that also a personal attack?
Right on! Why take personal responsibility for
nm
If you are answering to me, my personal
beliefs are strongly Christian, but I am a Christian who also believes wholeheartedly in the separation between church and state, FYI.  I was answering the person who is scared.  Christians should not be afraid of anything, if they truly believe that God is in control.  Just my opinion.
My personal feelings aside,,,
the three branches of government were meant to be equal. It was never intended for the judicial branch to be able to "overrule" the legislative branch or the voters whenever they felt that it was appropriate. It is abuse of what was meant to be a check and balance, but who checks the courts. It would appear that they have worked themselves into the final say and that is really unfortunate.
My personal opinion
FWIW, by definition civil is: "of or relating to or befitting citizens as individuals" and "of or occurring within the state or between or among citizens of the state" (per wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn), which to me is the one the government should sanction, be it gay or straight, and thereby entitle one to the legal and financial 'benefits'. Marriage, on the other hand, in my opinion could/should then be viewed as more a religious construct.
and the personal attacks continue

I too think it was a PERSONAL matter. It's unfortunate that the
republicans would stop at NOTHING to drag Bill Clinton through any kind of mud at any cost to the country down to whos blowing him.
You must not have read the personal comment at the end then.

Sounds like you have a personal problem....
And no, I don't have to deal with it. I don't take orders from folks with psychological problems on a forum. Do you?

I don't even know what I'd be lying about anyway. My guess is that you don't know either and that you are obviously just trolling.
and let's NOT forget personal slander
You all have directly slandered MT, and it shouldn't be tolerated in any form.

I'll hand your bog back to you and step aside.


Politics of personal destruction

If a conservative talked about an African-American woman like this we would be called racists and even worse.


If all you have to criticize is her shopping habit then you really have nothing to criticize.


What I said was hardly a personal attack, Fern. sm
It was an observation.  I think I know who you are, hiding there behind all those forest nicknames. 
How in the world could I have known what was going on in your personal life? sm
I have had quite a few nasty comments said to me on these boards and I have never taken them personally.  I am truly very sorry about your mother and, of course, would have never made the comment knowing your circumstances. It's a little disingenuous to present this this way.  It isn't any use speaking to you, Teddy. You have a grudge and you're going to keep it.  I am not going to bring out a long laundry list of wrongs done to me on these boards.  Feel free not to respond to me and I'll make an effort to stay off your board.
