In Reply to: imposing to assume that I am not informed - Isn't it rather
...but do so after being informed. Your remarks make it totally obvious that you are not informed. For NOW it is still America and we do still have the right to speech and opinions.

thanks for sharing, gt
We can't let the truth get covered up by the conservatives.
Thanks for sharing this.
Good article. I particularly liked what he said about the nature of terrorism. It always struck me that this administration seemed to view terrorism as some bad guys that we could kill and then it would be all over and done with!!! Kind of the cowboy mentality.
Thanks for sharing.
It is nice to get the perspective of someone who wasn't sure and what you looked at to come to your final decision. I think this election will be very close because of what you just described.....there are people who are still on the fence and not sure. I personally feel that neither candidate will be able to pull us out of this financial issue fast. It will take some time....maybe even years.

I want to thank everyone for sharing these links on this board. I don't have the time to surf the net with my busy life and children, but when I want information, this is the first place I come. I know I can find links and just click on them and get informed. So thank you all for the links!!
Vote McCain! (had to throw that in there)
THANK YOU for sharing this. I have
already emailed it to everyone I know. It should go out to every politician.
thanks for sharing this, Lurker
Kudos to those brave ladies.
Very interesting..thanks for sharing..nm

very nice.. thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing. All of this has been mentioned
before. When one actually looks at the facts, it is hard to believe that there are still people who believe in Barry's false hope and empty promises. So much for that change he keeps preaching about when him and his advisors are a big part of the current problems we have now.
Good one! Thanks for sharing. nm

That was great! Thanks for sharing! nm

Beautiful !! .. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that! I sure couldn't have

Your opinion of torture is your opinion. Tough

Guess not. We're already sharing
the wealth thanks to Bush and his cronies and it won't be any better if McCain is elected. Probably won't be any better with Obama but I'll take my chance AGAINST McCain.
Good article...thanks for sharing.

Good for you! Then you won't mind sharing your wealth (NM)

This sharing the wealth...the pub mantra that escapes no one.
"collective ownership of resources" in Alaska (straight out of the moose's mouth)....that VERY different, too?
BTW, tax cuts, tax credits, progressive tax system is VERY American and not the least bit socialist. Letting tax cuts expire and tax rates return to their previous levels is hardly a radical policy. Rich folks have ALWAYS paid higher tax rates under the progressive tax order. Until that system is replaced, there is nothing unusual at all about the proposal to adjust the rate, or the candidate who is proposing to do it.
Run and hide if you like, but don't expect to pull the wool over anybody's eyes except the choir members whose votes are already in McC's pocket. This hypocrisy will not be escaping the undecided independents whose votes can make or break the pubs bid for the White House.
History is history and opinion is opinion. You need to learn the difference.

WHOSE OPINION?
That's your opinion
I don't think the liberal justices have been able to put their own views aside to make constitutionally sound decisions in the last few years, but again, that's my opinion as much as you are basing your judgements on your opinion. I think Bush is a brillant man, and I won't castigate you for thinking he's not, but it is your opinion and you have a right to it. Do I think Harriet Miers is best choice? No, but given her credentials I don't think she's a disaster either. The whole Roe vs. Wade issue has been controversial from it's inception, and yes I do think abortion is wrong, because it's killing innocent human life. I think it should be revisited. Roe has had a change of heart over the years about it, and to me that speaks volumes. However, I doubt you will agree and I don't expect you to.
Okay, if a justice should be excluded because of their abortion views then all the justices would have to be excluded, because they all have taken sides one way or the other.
I second your opinion except
I do believe, based on all information available, that Plame was truly outed. There is no "opinion" involved here. It is either true or false, and in this case, it is true she was outed. Throw as much distraction and verbiage at it as you want, but the fact remains.
What is your opinion...???
You mention abortions in this country that occur. How do you feel about Iraqi women having abortions? Does it bother you as much as abortions in the US? Would you go to Iraq at the present time and implore upon the women there not to have an abortion? "Life, what a terrible thing to waste."
Your opinion, and
Get a grip.
that's your opinion
I think that's a "desperate" attempt by dems because you must be scared of his pick!
I am a woman and a proud woman but i don't vote for one just because of that fact! (take Hillary for example!!)
you can have your opinion - and so can I
You just don't like to hear the truth. Hurts doesn't it!
I think I said in my post I commend you both for being able to stay at home and raise your kids. Good for you.
Your the one cutting down Sarah Palin for no good reason and just spewing lies. So I am giving my opinion.
Goes both ways.
As Austin Powers would say - Yeah, baby!
It is just my opinion ...
once again, just because I don't like his personna does not mean that I am not voting for him.
I truly have not decided.
Just my opinion...sm
This is all pretty much a matter of opinion, why does one have to be stupid to vote for who they FEEL is the best candidate. None of them truly are qualified. We can gave education and we can gain experience, but when given the task at hand, how many actually succeed. I feel that the Bush administration has been the worst ever since I have become involved in politics over the years, but that is my personal opinion. Not only was he given one term and failed, but a second term and things got worse.
I am not pushing any buttons or trying to step on anyones toes. To me it does not matter what race, religion, or gender, have always been a democrat and nothing and no one can ever make me vote republican, but the replican administration that had the task of leading our country for the last 8 years has definitely turned some die hard republicans to say they will vote republican.
This is my thing, I'm poor in a sense that I do not have millions of dollars in the bank, the rising gas prices and food prices affect me tremendously, and I live below my means. The economy has changed, it is not good. I want to survive. I want to know that my job is safe, if I need financial assistance to save my home or feed my kids that it is available. There are more issues that hit home for me, just a few named above. I do not care that the gentleman who started AIG lost 3 billion dollars, so what how many millions do he have left. If I lose $100 that's a sore spot for me. They are saving financial insitutions with buyouts, spending billions on a war, and nothing to help the working Americans who lost their job and lost their homes and they were working hard just to survive.
I'm torn in a sense, but I do feel sorry for our country. How much more will we working Americans have to suffer.
Just my thought, part of the money that is been sent to fund this war, can we have it here in America to give to our people who are suffering from natural disasters (hurricanes, raging fires, jobs moved overseas, and all the other major crises surrounding us). What are we really striving for?
This is my opinion.....
From reading her thesis....she just made it sound like ivy league colleges are directed towards the "Whites" and wondered if it was really beneficial for "Blacks" to attend these colleges in a predominant white setting. Stating that "Blacks" who attended Princeton found themselves grouped together but at the end of their education came to finding their way in the "White" world and forsaking the "Black Community." How some "Blacks" felt guilt because they felt they should help the low-income black community and hadn't and others felt no guilt and strived for a position in the white world like Princeton was to blame for these "Blacks" building a life for themself and their family instead of putting everything back into the black community.
It sounds to me like Michelle Obama is a bitter and arrogant black woman and her involvement and membership at Rev. Wright's church for 20 years is just more proof of that. As many times as Rev. Wright showed up in interviews and spatted hate and the empowerment of blacks against their white oppressors....you cannot tell me honestly that Barrack and Michelle NEVER heard any message like that when it seems like that is all that comes out of Rev. Wright's mouth.
That is your opinion...
Obama doesn't know how many states are in the country he is actually running for President of. Joe Biden can't keep his foot out of his mouth.
Real Clear Politics has McCain ahead in electoral votes, and that is where the election is decided, not the popular vote. They are virtually neck and neck or within margin of error in Pennsylvania and Michigan...which nearly always are double digits for the Democrat at this time in elections. Just a little perspective on polls. That being said, polls are what they are. We will not know until election night.
deRothschild's remark doesn't mean as much to me as the "clinging bitterly to their guns and religion" comment of Obama's about Pennsylvanians...that is why he lost his lead in Pennsylvania and why it may very likely go Republican for the first time in how many years.....?
And that comment tells me all I need to know about the character of Barack Obama and how he feels about the common person out here in the flyover states.
My opinion
I voted for the first time in 1960. The issue then was "Catholic." People were "scared" of a Catholic president.........much like Obama being "Muslim." Not much new since then except for the extensive media and internet. Of course the "Catholic" won. Some still say that election was bought by the Senior Kennedy. I happen to believe that now and I voted for him. At that time I was a young voter, JFK was young, good-looking and talked a good talk.
You say the media picked their "darling." I've watched TV consistently since the beginning of all this mess, starting with the primaries and I have seen no bias on CNN where I usually get my news and watch debates, etc. I did notice that Tom Tancredo (whom I supported) and Ron Paul were NOT given equal time in the debates. Anything I hear that does not come directly from the horse's mouth, I research and make up my own mind, thus I consider myself about as well-informed as anyone can be who doesn't personally know any of the candidates. I continue to be dismayed by posters on this board such as the above poster who says "Obama caught in the act." If this is the kind of ill-informed voters who actually vote and elect our leader, God save us all.
The ACORN thing. If I understand it correctly, the actual voter registration office that "discovered" the fradulent registrations is run by Republicans. So there you have it again...Dem vs. Pubs. They say they "don't have time to sort out the legitimate registrations"...Isn't that their job? Do you REALLY think ACORN is the only one guilty of voter fraud? I most certainly do not. Why do you think both parties steer far away from illegal immigration? Not a word have I heard from either candidate about illegal immigration. Why? Both are in favor of giving the free-loading, criminal invaders of our country "a path to citizenship," because both parties want the Latino vote, legal or otherwise.
To answer your question....I think our next leader will be decided by rabid voters who support the ticket, whichever group has the most rabid voters that actually turn out, and it looks to me like it may be the Republican ticket so it will not surprise me if John McCain is the next president. I personally know many people who say they are not going to vote because they, like myself, cannot support either candidate. I think there will probably be a huge voter turn-out and much of the turn-out will be newly registered voters and those who have bought into the Obama is a scary fellow campaign. Fear is the scary thing, it brings out the fight or flight instinct just as it is designed to do in this election. Seems many people can't see the forrest for the trees. 
VOTING WITH A WRITE-IN VOTE FOR LOU DOBBS!!!!
So, did you have an opinion on
nm
Well if it is just your opinion then you need to say that
If it is not a fact that she uses her religion to gain money and power then you are slandering her without saying "in my opinion".
So you can post something hateful about aggressive women starting trouble and then needing their male counterparts to back them up, but when someone questions you, they are being over aggressive?
Everybody has their own opinion.
.
My opinion is..........sm
that it is hateful in its message that basically ridicules Christianity and I believe it is hateful in the manner in which it was displayed right next to a Nativity scene. If the sign had not ridiculed the Christian faith and had been displayed in another area away from the Nativity, then perhaps it may have remained intact. For example, why not just say something like "Happy Winter Soltics" with the name of the organization at the bottom if they were truly just promoting the winter soltice and giving people information on atheist service organizations? The Nativity scene displays no hate language. It is a statement of the love of our God that Christians celebrate at this time of the year. Like GP, I think the atheists protest way too much over something they don't believe in. I don't believe in the boogie monster, but I don't go around posting signs about it.
That may be, but it is just that..HIS opinion....
and he is pretty much spot on. I listen to him whenever I get a chance...which is not often working during the day. LOL.
Well.......that's YOUR opinion.
*I* am not impressed by anyone who can only badmouth someone else. If McCain has something better to offer, where is it???????? 
Yes, that is my opinion
and we are all entitled to our own opinion. I don't trust someone who is so evasive about his past, and will not answer questions thoroughly
That is your opinion
I don't agree with it. If killing any life is murder, than don't we all need to be vegetarians?
oh....so if an opinion comes from something other than...sm
some left-wing controlled media who is privileged to ride in Obama's private jet it is automatically discounted? Rense may talk about UFO sitings, but he also covers a variety of other things as evidenced by his home page. A journalist is not required to reveal his/her sources.....so says the LA Times. LOL
in your opinion...
What is the normal outcome of a pregnancy? Generally speaking, a child. Those two merged cells, if left alone, even by your way of thinking, will become a child unless someone screws with them. Perhaps, instead of teaching your daughter that if she becomes pregnant, that it is okay to stop this life from becoming the child that it should become, you should teach her to not become pregnant. There are other ways to avoid pregnancy than the pill.
just my opinion
I think American car makers will be forced to produce green cars by the government, and will not be allowed to fail, but forced to comply, and I will be the first in line to buy one.
my opinion on that -
My opinion is if they were taking naps and playing cards, then they were not needed. It looks to me like that kind of waste is what the problem is.
If they were only needed sometimes, then there should have be some kind of on call system or something so that they are not wasting their money paying them to take naps and play cards.
for m: opinion......s/m
You should broaden your mindset and not make generalized statements and then try unsuccessfully to retract them.
If I have sex and the consequence is a baby, then I and my partner created this child.
But, that is just your opinion, you have
can either give us a reliable source or just suck it up and accept the fact that he is still alive and well.
that is your opinion
based on your dark interpretation of facts. I look at the same data - Obama's record, his choice of high-level officials and see a hopeful future. What you believe and forecast is an OPINION based on a skewed filter, surely not accurately predictive.

yup, it is and yours is your opinion
Facts are facts. You actually believe by picking all the same Clintonites that made Clinton's presidency a disaster, you actually believe it's now a hopeful future. Oh please, you certainly must have been asleep during the Clinton administration. Even some die hard democrats are coming out saying what in the world is he thinking. They follow that with "he's not thinking". What I see is that he owes everyone big time for everything he promised them and they've come collecting. I see the country is in for some very hard times. A lot of it is due to the idiocracy of the current administration, so Obama is going to be inheriting a lot of problems, but he has to be smarter than what he is and pick people who actually have knowlege of how to help rebuild our country. Not just give all of his little buddies jobs because they did favors for him and now he owes them. Facts are facts about Os connections/tie's, and past records. Those certainly will not lift this country out of the depression we are facing. All his promises he made while on the campaign trail? You can kiss them all goodbye, unless of course the people who lead him on their leash tell him that something will be done. And where is all that "bipartisan" he talked about during his campaign. His speeches of "I'm the only one who can bring republicans and democrats together" and "I will have people from both sides in my cabinet". Well at least he is keeping consistent with the lies he told. He's going to be so busy running around covering up everything he's done it's just going to be a disaster. All I say is I can't wait for 4 years to pass so that Arnold Schwartenzegger can run.
