are US voters and it is offensive to call something like this "typical." How many others have you seen do such things?

I call them rabid Republicans s/m
I'm sure some of the Republican posters are nice people and sincere in their beliefs. The "I'm keeping tally" person seems to have a real problem. She sees every poster that doesn't agree with her as "nasty." Well, calling people O lover, ignorant, stupid and the list goes on is pretty nasty but the only thing she/he sees as nasty is if someone happens to not support her beloved John McCain/Sarah Palin. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican but I can reason for myself. I respect the right of everyone to have a different opinion than mine. I do hope the election is not decided by such narrow-minded people as post on this board!
Yeah...I thought his "they will call me if they need me"
comment really brought that point home. LOL.
Call me what you want, just don't call me late for dinner. LOL....
GP, I like your sense of humor.
You call it hysteria, some call it concern for the
nm
I just thought it might be nice to hear an original thought. sm
I guess I was reaching.
LOL, how silly
I know, he he he he, LOL. My gosh, blame the liberals for everything in this world that does not go the right wingers way, OMG, LOL.
Oh, you silly. nm
That's just silly.
Where do you get such ideas? Afraid of him...hardly!
Now that's just silly. nm
That's just silly.
God's salvation is really not that hard to gain. He is not a cruel God, but one who expects those on earth to treat each other with kindness and compassion. Your equation is all wrong, but I will pray that you will see the light before it is too late. God would welcome you into heaven.
That is just silly!
Anyone who makes less than $50K--and who says that we do?--must be racist if they don't support Obama? Thank you for the laugh!
It isn't silly at all.

This is silly
Why would I post anything here only to be attacked. And you guys call us rabid? I have my reasons for what my vote will be that I have tried to explain, only to be called numerous names. I believe that we have saved many more innocent lives in Iraq than we have taken, but we are not going to agree and I have finished defending my stances. Liberals talk of how intolerant conservatives are, but have not even noticed their own intolerance.
Silly? I think not.
It started below with Kaydie saying NO ONE gave their reasons for voting for change, etc. etc. How about your REAL reasons for voting for McCain. Abortion is a legitimate issue for some and not for others. I meant how about giving some real reasons for voting for McCain? Do you think her will raise taxes? lower taxes, end the war? What? Don't ridicule those of us who would like to see WHY you are really voting for McCain. We've been ridiculed enough for voting for Obama. If wanting to know your personal reasons is silly then so be it. Who knows, if you posted enough REAL reasons you might change some of the undecided voters but constantly hammering Obama is not going to do it. Well....maybe it will for some but not for people capable of thinking for themselves.
Silly! That is because
if O can apologize for us and smooch enough butt to make everybody really LIKE us, we won't need national security. One world, world peace, whirled peas, whatever. We'll all sit together and sing kumbya with the world court to keep everything fair. Who could object to that?
How silly. Who cares what
she goes to the bathroom. Why don't you focus on something that matters?
Just trying to show how silly all of this is.
Why not think of ways to make the world better on your own instead of cooking up stuff. That's all I am saying.
Lol. That's silly but funny! nm

You silly woman
Where on earth do you get your so-called news? Moveon, Kos, or DemocraticUnderground?
If you care to ignore the teachings of Saul Alinsky, what do you think about his "church" associations?
Bill O'Reilly will be doing "The Obama Chronicles" on his show this week (or however long it runs), starting with Wm Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn.
If you're looking for documented accuracy, Rush Limbaugh is certified 98%-ish right. I hear it so often that the way it's said escapes me, but the libs know it, too. That's only one reason they hate him so much. Of course, the first is that he's got over 20 million listeners. Nobody can touch those numbers. Incidentally, I'm one of them.
Silly fact
McCain blinked over 3000 times during the debate. Somebody actually sat there and counted.
Ya know what, Silly Goose.........sm
You're not such a silly goose after all.
I agree that, as a public forum, we should be allowed to post what we want (within the realms of human decency) without meeting with ridicule and namecalling.
It may be that, come tonight or tomorrow or whenever the results of the SC decision are posted, I will be wiping egg off my face in order to eat a huge plate of crow (smothered with onion gravy, if you please), but I think the matter does need to be investigated and every person posting here has a right...yes, a constitutional right...to post his or her opinion.
Thank you for putting into a cohesive and coherent manner exactly what I had been trying to say earlier but seemed to have failed so miserably.....that this is still America and that we still have a right to our own opinions.
it's silly with a capital "S"

I know - how silly that we should know whether he is qualified.

You silly girl
I'm getting my claws sharpened. HA HA HA
I know your posting to try to get a "rile" out of people (is rile the right word?)
So all I'm going to do say is this.
Thank you for the advise. I turned off my TV yesterday (well actually I did watch some DVDs). So thank you for the advise.
Silly me, I forgot...
... Oklahoma City in 1995 too. The good news just kept on coming during Clinton's presidency.
My adivce to you: Let go, you are silly....nm

Why you silly thing you....
it doesn't apply to HIM...just like the transparency thing...yeah, Bush should have disclosed all the people HE met with in the white house, but NOT Obama...Okay when the big "O" does it though. Just amazing, isn't it? So many bought the larger-than-life superhero who was going to fix all the country's ills...but, come to find out...not even a year into it...he is just Barry from Chicago, uberliberal politician, no better and in fact worse than what left, the fox is in the henhouse and we are stuck. Pitiful, ain't it?? Gotta laugh.
Oh, that's just silly. So you are a mind reader? I don't think so.
It's obvious what happened. Give some of us the benefit of having a brain.
No not silly. History is repeating itself. sm
He is very similar to El Duce the fat moose Mussolini. He disassembled the existing democratic government system in Italy. Bush and Co are doing it here through the USA Patriot Act. Yes, the times are different, but the ideology is the same.
People so silly in this country.
I undertand beter than U what this is!
Nothing silly about population control.
BTW....we ARE animals.
I think it is pretty silly to think she didn't know...
about birth control. We do 1.2 million abortions a year and I don't think any great number of those girls/women didn't know about birth control. C'mon.
That's a silly question, of course we have...most people do
but it should be up to us who we help, not the gov't.
This is just plain silly. You are wrong. nm
.
Sure will be relieved when these silly analogies
Nobody's listening to that crud anymore.
I'm sure by now you realize how silly your post was.
By the end of the day, probably a million or more.
Say this to yourself three times a day, and you will avoid these little faux pas: "I will not post prematurely. I will not post prematurely. I will not post prematurely."
If the condition has not cleared up within a week to ten days, repeat the treatment, but drop the word "prematurely".
Then call it what it is...or call for conservation...
but don't make up a myth to try to gain control. That is what Gore is after...what all the global warming hoohah is after. They have an agenda...pure and simple. And the base fact is that a very low percentage of the greenhouse gas effect is from cars. Every time you breathe out, you contribute. Are we all going to stop breathing? Are cows going to stop belching? I have no problem with ethanol...I have used it. My husband is from Iowa...I would love it if we started using ethanol more extensively. But in previous years, Democrats (Hillary being a primary one) opposed the use of ethanol. I guess if I believed any of those people out there hawking global warming actually believed what they were saying it would be different...but I don't. The science is not there. As I said...if the real interest is conservation with the side benefit of less CO2...fine. Just say so. But as the article pointed out...if it is as bad as they say it is, you can't stop it anyway. It just does not make good sense to me.
Fine. Call if whatever you want to call it....
I will call it as I see it. I look at a totality of things. He has embraced black liberation theology which is racist and has Marxist tones for 20 years. There is no way the man went to that church for 20 years and did not know their doctrine. But, if you choose to believe that, again, fine. I do not. I believe he knows that theology backward and forward and believes it to his core. You don't have to. That is the wonderful thing about America. We can agree or disagree. On this we disagree.
Yes, I am feeling a pinch. But I don't think the government should take money from you and give it to me. I don't think they should take money from any private business and give it to me. If you think that is fair, fine. I don't. That is how socialism/Marxism takes hold. Historically it ends the same way. I don't want that for America. Perhaps you do...you want the pinch eased for you and if that means taking money from someone else that they earned, and giving it to you, who did not earn it, to you it is all good. To me it isn't.
He never has said who the $1000 checks are going to. I am thinking not every person in the whole US of A...so not only does he get to choose who he takes the money from, he gets to choose who to give it to. That would be another interesting piece of the puzzle. If he confirms to the Marxist view, it would be issuing checks to the "poor." And he gets to define who that is. You may be okay with that...me, not so much.
And by the way...have you ever researched an oil company profit margin? It is not as huge as Obama would like you to believe. But, again, he is counting on no one researching what he says. They hear free money and that's all they want to hear. Also, do you think oil companies don't employ people? You think it is one CEO at a desk in an office raking in billions? You don't think there are rank and file regular folks who work for oil companies? Whose jobs might be impacted by you and others wanting to take money away from their employers and doling it out to people who have not earned it? You think there is a chance they might have a problem with that?
I call, fax, and call again and I do campaign....

That is a pretty silly statement. Does that make...
everyone in the south a racist? Everyone who is white a racist? Everyone who is Christian a Baptist? Please do not pigeon-hole me. And what does that mean, anyway...support Bush? I support many of his policies, including going in Iraq. I have never even been to the website you posted and did not even know that existed until you posted it. To include me in any agenda there is irresponsible and wrong. You don't like to be lumped together as all liberals.... yet does not bother you to say anyone who supports Bush is a Neocon. Gimme a break.
Nothing silly about the fear McBush inspires
There is one thing that all of these frustrated, angry posters have in common. All have lived their lives under 8 years of the Bush regime; some in denial, others in bondage.
well of course...how silly of me...don't bring up the timber in our eyes...
concentrate on the splinter in my own. Got it. LOL.
I know.....kind of a silly statement on its face...
and I imagine you were not the only woman in America who wanted to or did throw a pillow at the TV.
I figured out Silly Sally! See inside!

It's a dance-off, and meant to be just silly.... cute! nm

This silly diversion only shows just how hard
Do you not care anything about death threats and assassination plans against the president-elect of your country? Does it mean anything to you at all that there is a visible, palpable cause to this effect? Would you be this dismissive were the shoe on the other foot and it was McCain we were talking about? Grow up, for God's sake. This is serious business this threat to life thing.
Do you know how silly the libs sound by blaming everything
that happened in the last eight years on Bush?
I predict, that Obama will not take responsibility for anything that happens in next two years at least, maybe four....it will all be Bush's fault in some way.
And those won't be my words. They will be Obama's words.
Wait and see.
How much confidence can you have in president who takes no personal responsibility, or a Congress that takes no personal responsibility in their own legislation, blaming Bush for their own bailout legislation that they wrote?
Dems always change the rules.
It's happening again, slowly and surely.
Nothing silly about stating obvious facts.
Voters recognized that and acted accordingly. It takes some longer than others to catch on.
Stop being silly, please. It's the job of every thinking adult

Thought this was good so I thought I'd share
Down the drain? Beware of Obama's plan to 'spread the wealth around'
By Betsy Newmark
High School History and Government Teacher/Blogger
If the McCain campaign can’t use this Obama quote to raise doubts about his attitude towards wealth and success, then they deserve the shellacking they seem headed for.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
Plumbers of the country, unite! Forget about the work and effort you put into building up a business or the scummy work that you do that many of us don’t know or don’t want to do. If you have succeeded, you should be willing to give up more of what you earn to help those who haven’t had the great good luck that you have had to be a successful plumber. Remember how Obama is going to give 95% of all of us a tax cut even though over 30% of the population doesn’t pay taxes?
He might call it a tax credit, but what he’s really doing is his vision of “spreading the wealth around.” It sounds a lot like Huey Long’s 1935 plan to “Share the Wealth.” And when he finds that he can’t tax the top 5% of the population to gain enough wealth to spread to the 95% of the rest of us, do you really think that he’ll stop with that 5%?
Remember…This is the guy who said in the ABC debate during the primary season that his approach to raising tax on capital gains is not based on whether it would provide more revenue but on his idea of what is fair:
GIBSON: All right. You have, however, said you would favor an increase in the capital gains tax. As a matter of fact, you said on CNBC, and I quote, “I certainly would not go above what existed under Bill Clinton,” which was 28 percent. It’s now 15 percent. That’s almost a doubling, if you went to 28 percent.
But actually, Bill Clinton, in 1997, signed legislation that dropped the capital gains tax to 20 percent.
OBAMA: Right.
GIBSON: And George Bush has taken it down to 15 percent.
OBAMA: Right.
GIBSON: And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down.
So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?
OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.
Just what we need in these fragile economic times — a guy who wants to raise taxes because he thinks it’s a matter of “fairness” and time to “spread the wealth around.”
That will be some incentive for other plumbers who want to work hard and build up a successful business.
But don’t worry - according to Joe Biden, it’s the patriotic thing to do.
Haha! I thought I was the only one who thought he looked
