Keep politics to politics board.

Ahh, that's why I don't visit political board.

Does this post not belong on the political board?
NM
TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
Take it to the Politics board please.
Too many complaints of political discussions taking up the Gab board, so please take this discussion to the Politics board.
Thanks all
And you are right about the politics board sm
you can't say anything without someone jumping all over you on that board and some of the responses are silly and childish. Every time someone posts verifiable information, people on there respond with silly inuendos and comments.
im sure it's someone from the politics board
following me around, stalking me.
i told them it was creepy on the other board.
I just dont get it. I come here to be happy and converse with other MTs about fun/normal/curious stuff...
Reading this post was ridiculously stupid and made me roll my eyes and remind me that no matter how we argue in politics... im way above responding to something with such low class.
so sorry guys for bringing the crap over here. i try to leave it over there...
To the Politics board, where it belongs.
i dont go on the politics board
for exactly the reason i get too angry
it's weird when you are mistaken OVER THE COMPUTER to be someone else...
but whoever that was i probably agreed.
so you are okay with the grape research but expect me to shell out money for everyone in need, whether they really are or not. SHOCKING!
an opinion is not a soapbox.
and i can use CAPITALS for a point. i know in the computer world that means "yelling" but mine is making a specific point.
silly to get your panties in a bunch over that
Shouldn't this really be on the Politics board? sm
you are labeling global warming science as rotten, and basically making remarks about Obama that pretty much should be noted on the politics board, not GAB.
adminstrator...can we have a religious political radical board until the election?...sm
so as not to disturb the rest of the flotsam and jetsam of the gab board? So far everyone has been reasonable... Cat
Thought I saw a post like yours on the political board regarding grape research
America cannot take care of all the needy in the world, even if they gave the "grape research" money to them. Keep off your soapbox because you are yelling. I know several who use the welfare system. I give to no one on the streets. I don't care what kind of sign they are holding up, will work for ..... I rescue animals and help our 4 legged friends. That is about as charitable as I get.
Me too....talk about it regularly, esp. the politics board...lol nm

At least keep your venom to the Politics board, would ya? sheesh nm

Liberal & Conservative merged to one Politics board.
........
You need to read sticky warning at the top of Politics board.
"let people express his or her opinion and move on"
Use the Golden Rule, don't go over there if you get headache, stay on MT boards.
All prayer requests/topics belong on Prayer board only. NM

Heads up! The Gab board is for general discussion not to include MT, Religion, or Politics.
This was put into place when we very first set up the Gab board. We have a Christianity, Conservatives, and Liberals forum that you can post on. But, let me be clear. I do not condone trashing of anyone's religious preference and neither should you. I expect posts on any of these forums to be respectful (that does NOT mean we are censoring, there IS a difference). This is NOT open for debate. These are the rules. If you can't respect them, you don't need to post here.
Some like, some don't - let's all be for not passing on misinformation about ANY candidate?
No one is trying to change your mind. Only to encourage ALL of us to not pass on misinformation - especially "dumb emails." That's all.
I had to post that most of the world at this point DOES know that email is pure misinformation, but I'm leaving quick, the Negative Vibes are heading my way, I can feel it.
Again, Peace to ALL.
Manchurian candidate - coincidence
Well I'm not posting on the political board because this is more of an opinion about a movie and likeness (just so happens to be a likeness to a political candidate). Tonigh DH and I watched the Manchurian Candidate with Meryl Streep. We had not seen this movie in about 3 years and about 10 minutes into the movie DH and I looked at each other and said the same thing at the same time. We said "Hillary Clinton". Whatever you may think of Clinton (good or bad) if you watch this movie you have got to see the similarities. DH said even her hairstyle is the same. Streep plays a Senator who will do anything to get her son elected to President (only in real life its Hillary doing anything to get herself elected). Anyway...don't want to make this political, just wanted to bring up that it is a very creepy and scary coincidence. Actually its not a coincidence - its like watching the real thing. Regardless of whether you like her or now, watch the movie with an open mind and you will see what I mean.
Presidential candidate Huckabee (spelling?) said that
Christmas is taken from "Christ mass" and therefore it is Christmas and he was going to continue to say "Merry CHristmas" - jest of his commentary on the radio the other day when questioned about it.
Pets are one of the best topics.
That and gardening and great vacation spots. Most people are very good about labeling their posts so you know what it's about before you bother clicking on something that won't interest you.
Know what else I like? Old cars. Like from 1900 thru 1969, the earlier and weirder or prettier the better. If I were going to collect anything, it would probably be models of little cars like that. Isn't that weird?
topics evolve and change, Daddy nm

You definitely need to do some research on her political views! nm

Although I don't know what's worse, the political banter or having to
;
I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
Political correctness taken to the extreme.
The movie "Airplane" is on. Political correctness has gone way too far. The scene is the one where the pilot asked the little boy, Do you like gladiator movies? After that line the rest of the scene has been deleted. I dont need movie censors to restrict a comedy in the name of PC.
I disagree with you, but...this IS a political post.
How could it be anything but?
it was about her shoes - not a political topic
I would just ignore it. Started off about fashion. You can't control what people are going to write about a certain topic. Sometimes the two can blend together. Since we're not talking bout the O I would just ignore it and write another post about something else.
I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
Volunteering. Church. Political parties.

NEVER do I watch shows where I know celebrities will try to further their political views
But then again, I do look at the pictures in the morning of their pretty dresses :)
It's all about politics (nm)
politics of
There is some evidence that Americans started taking the bible literally when we stranded here as pioneers. That is when the line by line scripture as truth came about. Unfortunately, I think that our American literalism has been taken advantage of by unscrupulous politicians of all sorts, including unscrupulous clergymen and women for their own personal monetary or sexual gains, etc.
I do not think every word of the Bible was supposed to be taken literally, even though I am a Christian.
oh you are SO wrong - it's ALL about politics....sm.
YOU might not see it as being *politics* - rather something religious (?) - but it's ALL based upon politics today.....Saying or not saying different religious greetings during holidays..........being allowed to or not - freedom of thought/speech/action
most definitely *politics* - get your head out of the sand please......
No MT, no politics, no religion. Anything else is ok.

No SS Increase! Not just politics sm
This is for everyone who has a parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/etc. who has worked their USA hands and/or kiesta off all their lives. We paid off the big loans and we punish those older citizens who gave it their all, put their kids through college on their own dime and/or moreso to build this country! Booh, hiss!!!! I thought we made a good choice, but now I am rethinking me thoughts! This is personal, not politics!! Thmbs down, where do we write, anyone know or care to know???
I agree about the office politics...
and that is a definite plus about being at home. I like the fact that I don't HAVE to talk to anyone if I don't feel like it (unlike being in an office), but my schedule gives me the freedom to socialize with my friends and family when we want to get together and also be active in my church during the week.
No MT, politics or religious posts here. NM

Have any of you been reading the Politics forum?
I wonder if anyone has been getting any work done.
So you protest about politics being brought
proceed to participate in the very behavior you are objecting so stridently to. You are entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to share your opinion. I am not saying that you aren't. I just find it rather interesting that you choose to actively participate in the very behavior you're protesting so loudly against.
I really don't care to argue with you, just as I don't really care for the politics board. As far as tomorrow, for my kids it is historic event. Only one of them was old enough to remember Bush being sworn in the second time, and he was still to young for it to hold a great deal of significance. I would like to foster in my children a respect for the process of our government and why our founding fathers designed it the way they did. This is part of that process. It is not about race for my younger children, although my 8-yo still doesn't understand why a black person, or anyone else not Caucasian for that matter, had never been president. My 6-yo thought nothing of the fact that a white woman or a black woman or a black man or a Hispanic man could run for president. In fact, she was a Hillary supporter and then a McKinney supporter because, "boys are yucky."
For some people, tomorrow is a catharsis on many levels, for the past 8 years to the past 200+. If you can't see and appreciate the significance of the event, then I feel very sorry for you.
I hate office politics! sm
That is why I enjoy doing MT so much. It is just me, the doctor's voice and my computer. Of course, the occasional emails from supervisor. But the way this industry is going, I see myself doing something else. What that is I don't know yet, but I am beginning the search. I thought computers would be a good field to get in.
Could someone tell me if there is a Christianity board as well as a prayer board (sm)
or are they one in the same? I have some faith related questions, but don't want to post on the prayer board again if it is specifically for prayer requests. I do not see a Christianity board listed. Thanks so much.
Main board, gab board, company, etc, just like here,

Global warming - faction, fiction, political, mountain or mole hill
Trying to get a handle on whether people have bought into the global warming thing.
Do you believe it whole-heartedly 100% Gore-ly, or do you believe the scientist who have been studying global warming/cooling.
Also, do you believe a lot of it is politically-oriented.
Very likable and nice, as long as one stays away form politics
especially if one belongs to the other party, lol.....
naw - that was the old board that did that, aka the 'other' board!
why was it here and not on the Politics board anyway?
Religious posts and political posts go to appropriate boards. NM

Am not talking politics here at all, talking
about how she views the southern culture which apparently she knows very little. I do not care about her politics- what I care about is by making a statement like that only shows a persons ignorance. My maid is working today, has lived in the gettos all her life in a big city and when I asked her about it she said something she has not seen in maybe 30 years. In her neighborhood there is all sort of crime that goes on (well, that is about everywhere) but if anyone would see it she would be 1. Like I say, could care less about Whoopie's political views other than the fact she got that wrong. Neil Boortz also was saying the same,;he said she was probably still holding the south in such a light because of her inability to go into a upper class restaurant here in town dressing in blue jeans. Being as she was born in NYC, we southerns still say da.n yankees! So true here.
Is that board still available?
Thought I had it in favorites, but takes me to the main board . . . I do not have board options to the left though. Anyway, the Gab board is to gab about anything not MT, so I'm sure she's fine here, but I had been trying to check out the WAHM board yesterday and couldn't get there, so just thought it funny you brought it up today.
