with all due respect. You view "independent" differently than I do. I was just explaining. I am not a Republican.

your post was just as one-sided and attacking as
What a shame. When I first read it, I was expecting it to be unbiased, but all I read in your post was negativity against Obama and defense of McCain. You probably would be better off on the gab board.
I am not attacking you, therefore I can post here. In other words, make me. :) nm
This post is not attacking Palin with vitriol?
as well as being inaccurate?
Thank you for the elitist, condescending, loyal-to-the-party post...but the juvenile playground name
should be left on the playground.
Bottom line...Joe Biden is a liar. Whether he lied about being John McCain's friend or he lied when he attacked him...he lied. He is a liar. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnall's. If being devoid of character is what floats your boat, great. If loyalty to the party means checking your integrity at the door, so be it. If people want to associate with people of that "ilk" (your word, not mine), so be it. You might try looking up honesty and integrity while you are at it.
You criticize Bush for saying you are with us or you are against us, but isn't that exactly what you are saying here? If you aren't willing to do whatever it takes to put forward the party, then we don't want you...you're against us. Hey kettle..you are as black as the pot.
Your two posts are much more acidic than mine ever thought about being. Exactly what principles are you loyal to? I always thought honesty and integrity were principles. Hmmm. Well I guess not part of your party principles.
No, au contraire, I am sure you are a proud democrat. I am sure liberals are proud to be liberals. That is not in question. Whatever the cost, no matter what lies have to be told, what friends cast under the bus...
And in case you had not noticed, there are a lot of Americans out here who are not tied to the "party" like you are. This is probably the same kind of talk that was abounding in the National Social German worker's party. Look THAT up in your Funk and wagnall's while you are at it.
And before your head spins around and you spit fire...I don't think for a minute, thank GOD, that all Democrats share your hard line loyalty to the party at all costs.
Lady, you're scary.
You get an A for condescending...
but an F for cognition. My issue with Clinton, which I stated over and over ad nauseam, was with the fact that he committed felony perjury. It is you folks who keep bringing up the sex life. One would think you all have Monica envy.
The fact that you condone perjury and have no problem with that makes me wonder about your own "values."
Now that is condescending. nm

Condescending.

not condescending sm
I have no attitude problem here. I and many people I know do not want to vote for any of the 4 candidates. We are voting because it is our duty and not for any of them so far. Ms. Palin is intelligent, gifted, etc., but would you want her in the White House in charge of the country and the future of our country? Terrorists are not going to worry about Palin or any of the rest of them. Our children are going to have to get out there and have their throats slit if we make the wrong decision. The jury is still out and we have to weigh every issue, every candidate and listen carefully. Anyone who has their mind already made up as to our future and our children's future is free to post here. As for me, I am no elitist, I just want the best candidate. Nancy Pelosi is Speaker - what is the automatic assumption of position for her should someone die? Think, think, pay attention to "every word" from this bunch. I am "worried" and you should be as well! It's too early to tell, we are in the worst mess since the depression, so be informed and alert! No bread lines and no body bags for my family if I can help it. This is not a beauty contest or a popularity contest, it's the life of our loved ones at stake here. No news there, common sense!
I think it was condescending
I doubt there were many Americans who haven't at least heard of Fannie and Freddie. That's what the politicians are hoping...that we the people are so DUMB we don't know what is going on.
Why are you always so condescending?
nm
You are the one doing the attacking
you are rude vile and insufferable. You can't see over your hatred of conservatives to even have a civil conversation. No wonder you and your candidates LOST last November. You all are so hateful it oozes from your pores.
Attacking? Please, I was not attacking.

Why are you attacking me?
I gave an opinion of the majority of Christians as a response to the poster asking why Muslim was viewed as bad. They view Muslim as a false religion because they don't follow the Bible, rather the Quran. That's why everybody was in an uproar when they thought Obama was sworn in by the Quran. This was not my personal opinion, so don't attack me. In reality, this is the belief of the majority of Christians. They try to convert Muslims. Don't attack me as this being my personal opinion, gourdpainter. I never said it was.
No, they are attacking
I'll stick by my kool-aid comment, however, that was not in this post and I'm sick of people calling me ignorant because I believed both countries were in the middle east, especially when my friend talks of her husband in Iraq and son in Afghanistan and she refers to both countries as being in the middle east. These wars have been going on for so long I'm sick of it all.
Secondly - I admitted in a couple posts I was wrong about Obama stating in the campaign that he would not be bringing troops home and sending more over.
As for reality I have a pretty good grip on it. You know for a fact there are people who voted for Obama just because he's black! That's reality sista. I know because my brother and his friends and their freinds, and our friends in church boasted on how they didn't know his policies and they didn't care. He's black, we're black so therefore we have to vote for him because he's black. Sorry you don't like to face reality. How about the people interviewed that said that if Obama was president they wouldn't mind Sarah Palin as VP. Oh yeah, those people really understand Obama's policies. How about the people who were told McCains plan and they said yeah, that's why I'm voting for Obama, those plans there you just said. How about the thousands and thousands of people who kept boasting about if Obama gets in office that our troops will be coming home from the middle east.
I'm in touch with reality here, you are not!
And for your information. I did not attack anyone who replied to my post here but plenty attacked me for my beliefs and questions.
And if you write any more rude comments to me I am not even going to read them, so don't bother.
They ain't living unless they are being condescending
and down right vulgar (hence the expletives tonight). You're right.. the only time they have anything going here is when we come over. They have nothing constructive to talk about when they aren't looking down their noses at conservatives who question their statements or bashing Bush. It's a big yawnfest
That's why I'm using the moniker leftist/lib basher. The best way to rile them up is to call them by what they call themselves. Oh, wait a minute. They're progressives now. They'll be progressives until we call them that then they'll say we're calling them names and change it again. Yes, they have tender widdle feelings.
Condescending? nawww....
you guys have the corner on that market. When you use it, you should not complain when it is used on you. However, you are much better at it, and I willingly bow to the master.
"Liberalism and conservatism are born out of political ideologies." Well, that certainly explains how compassion became a word and not a thread of your life. And I repeat...a desolate life it must be. Do you see ANY positives in life (well other than the crusade for utter destruction of those eevvvillllll conservatives...lol)?
"And your job here is to discount the liberal posts by condescencion?" Uh...no. Just as you asserted in your post, it is my right to disagree and it is my right to post what I believe or criticize what I do not believe. But oh...good grief...what am I thinking?? Only liberals have that right....right? lol!
"Is this a self-appointed job? Or nominated?" Does it matter? Why do you only preach to the choir? If you want to spread your message, that doesn't really make much sense, does it? Well of course it does, if you want people to support and validate you and need that to confirm and shore up your "political ideology. This post does actually answer my initial question...your life is controlled and motivated by "political ideology." What about your moral standard? Is that also formed by "political ideology?" Is your moral standard not influenced by "Liberal Thinking?"
But, bottom line, to use your own words...we all have the right to our opinion, and we all have the right to express it. No matter how much you would like it differently, it is still a free country...for ALL of us.
Must you be so snitty and condescending?...
....there seem to be quite a handful of democrats that post on this board all day long ad nauseum. Why don't you single them out?
They can't help it...snotty and condescending...
part of the DNA.
you are right. Condescending attitudes only
nm
It's not condescending attitude that
turns you away from Obama, it is your refusal to think for yourself and to vote for your own best interests.
condescending attitudes
Palin - Hilliary is a whiner (before picked for VP). After picked -- I honor her for her trail making.
mcCain's rich financial advisor - America is now a nation of whiners. They are having a mental recession.
What a condescending attitude.
.
Elitist and condescending much?? nm
nm
Condescending? You really have no idea
the fringe element that promotes this nonsense is, do you? Nothing condescending in expressing the views shared by WAY more than the majority of my fellow citizens...not to mention election officials nationwide who put candidates' names on the ballot, mainstream media, including even Fox, who is not making much of this story, Hawaiian authorities, their republican governor and, of course, the judges who threw the law suits out of court, just to name a few.
Another one attacking Lurker...and on and on
Unacceptable answer for word verbiage. Do people actually let you get away with that?

You must run in really tolerant debate circles. Best stay in them. This kind of behavior is not tolerated in most political circles I know of. But it is a good example of how far we have slipped into the he said/she said atmosphere of debate in this country. Just say anything and never have to prove it. It works well for the MSM, of which you seem so fond. Well, should have known better. I am off for greener pastures and debate fields where people actually have to prove what they say. Imagine that!
Obviously, this person was not attacking. sm
The underlined part just goes to prove that they are NOT attacking liberals. I am unsure of your rationalization on this one.
I'm not attacking you, but it's funny
Isn't he half white and half black? I thought that was the case for Obama. I am voting for Obama, but I know there are people saying that he will most likely need a lot of security. The white suppremists (spelling??) are still around. I just think he is much more suited and in better health to make decisions and not always "go with the good ole boys."
Oh yeah back to the multicolored... I remember being taught when there were references made like "I don't care if he's white, purple, orange, or black." Well people don't come in orange or purple???? Know what I mean? So what is multicolored (rainbow???)... I'm not attacking, I just thought it was funny to hear someone say they don't care if he's "multi-colored."
As far as McCain - he's out of his league. The things we face and our children face need to be addressed by someone more in our age group. As far as Palin, well she should be taking care of her family first. She's a mother. I am a mother first, a wife, then an MT. .... get my drift? I love my country, but I love my children more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are all my opinions and thoughts...
I know you weren't attacking me....
I was just telling you why I thought what I thought. sorry if I sounded defensive, didn't mean to be. :)
No one is attacking you, they are correcting you.
Oh, I see. It's okay for you to post snide remarks about others, but when you post something that is blatantly wrong and are called out the carpet for it, you accuse everyone of attacking you.
Here is a direct quote from one of your previous posts: "So, time to put down the kool-aid and get a cup of coffee and come back to reality here with the rest of us."
Apparently, your reality is based on incorrect information. Therefore, those of us who listen carefully to what President Obama says and who do not make gross generalizations that have no basis in fact have no interest in joining in with your concept of reality.
Your comment about people only voting for President Obama because he is black is a perfect example of just how out of touch with reality (or maybe just bigoted) you truly are.
Maybe you have wasted yours attacking others...
nm
Could you BE any more condescending? He is called Mr. President. sm
Like the poster below said, this is 6th grade stuff with the name calling and cutie pie nicknames. Time to grow up now. Time to stop being members of the sore loser club.
You started the condescending, Teddy...
read your post again. It was very condescending. You talked down to me, and I thought it might be fun to respond from down there where you put me. You talked down to me and you were rude. You know it and I know it. I was just giving it back to you. Now that we are past the kid stuff, could you please answer my question, and enlighten me as to what the *big picture* was that I missed and leave the condescending attitude out of it. As to being a dumb condescending Polack...your words, and not mine...it is so hilarious to me the parallels. My guy is of Polack/German ancestry and he is standing behind me as I type, and we are enjoying a good laugh, so thank you from this Choctaw/Cherokee/Irish gal and her dumb Polack guy. LOL. We are looking forward to the *big picture* point, though.
Why do you say Obama has a condescending attitude? I think he is ...sm
much more understanding of the problems of the average American than McCain is.
Well there is a condescending elitist statement....lol.
nm
Yes, and condescending, biased, partisan.
nm
Why are you so rudely attacking this poster?
The poster didn't make one reference to you personally in his/her post. All they did was express their opinion about the current administration without any personal references to you whatsoever.
Why are you so angry and hateful?
IMHO, You owe that poster an apology.
Some of these weirdos are attacking people
and blowing up things. Eco-terrorists are a reality. PETA disciples routinely attack people, pull the fur off their backs and spray paint people... Hey, if it happened to me I take care of the situation myself, but there are some loonies in those organizations.
How is a news story such as this attacking
the other candidate?
You never get tired of attacking Christians, do you?
"And before you start quoting scriptures, please realize that the bible is not a reputable source for historical facts. It is a collection of STORIES. Nothing more, nothing less."
You're so foul and offensive it's beyond measure. You have no respect for anyone but yourself, and you continue to try to shove your twisted beliefs down everyone's throat, all the while crying "victim" whenever it suits your cause.
You know what else has been around "forever?"
Rape.
Child abuse.
Murder.
Animal cruelty.
Robbery.
War.
Insanity.
and Evil.
So apparently, because they've existed for a long time, they're okie-dokie with you.
Here's your handbasket.
It wasn't condescending, and the man in front of him was nodding...
I had heard of them but certainly not to the extent I know about them now. I am sure there are lots of people in the US who had no clue who Fannie/Freddie were.
So you didn't let her apology stop you from attacking her.
I know it's hard for you, but try to pay attention. Sheesh!
It would be so nice if you weren't here. SM

Perhaps you enjoy stories with no kind of facts to them. I am sure you probably do. The fact remains, nanananana comes on here and tells us to stay off YOUR board which we have already done and here you are. Tell me again, WHO is it who will NEVER stop? You are looking like a fool. Since the high road seems to have disappeared for you, try the low road. Any road. Just go.
In all fairness, your posts were attacking and unkind. sm
And may have even been unfounded. I believe both of you were off base with the posts. I have once again posted a reminder at the top of the board.
Attacking a family over personal issues...
reprehensible.
If it's so great there, why don't you STAY there instead of attacking posters on this board
all the time? I don't need to grow any skin, thank you. If people are just simply NICE and treat me with respect, they receive the same in turn. It's called the golden rule. Liberals on this board follow the golden rule. It's the conservatives who must constantly attack, and frankly, it's tiresome. You add nothing of value to this board. NOTHING.
Intellect? Attacking an innnocent 16-year-old girl?
If that is intellect, you can have it!!
Stop attacking me!!!!! - and JTBB answered my question
All I asked is where will the troops be coming from that he is going to send to Afghanistan. I didn't state anything else about the troops except that a lot of us thought they'd be coming home. I know the military are committing suicide at an alarming rate. What does that have to do with the question "Where are the troops coming from that Obama is going to send to Afghanistan". The only thing transparent here is how eager you are to attack me for my thoughts and beliefs. Can't anyone ask a question anymore without being attacked for it.
I asked a question and JTBB answered it and I thanked her for it.
And for your information. I don't hate Obama. I VOTED FOR HIM IN THE PRIMARIES!!!!!!! (and don't even call me a pub cos I didn't vote for McCain either). Personally, I like Obama. Good looking guy, in great shape, beautiful family, very pleasant speaking voice. Nothing to hate there and these decisions he is telling us about are not his decisions. He is doing what he is told to do by his bosses. I guess I probably feel the same way lots of people feel about Bush lying to us on certain issues (like Obama's promise for change which he is not keeping it), except I don't have the hatred towards Obama that most do towards Bush.
Please people stop attacking me for me asking questions. If you also read any of my posts you also read that I say over and over - "If I'm wrong I'll admit it" Unlike some of the other posters.
P.S. - Thank you JTBB for being civil to me in your posts. People can disagree and be civil about it and you have shown that so thank you. The rest just please leave me alone!
Can you stick to the subject EVER? Oh wait, i'm unfairly attacking you by asking what you read,
nm
Evidently, my conservative friend, there is no opportunity to be missed in attacking Bush.
And threads are being hijacked on the conservative board as well. It's amazing.
P.S. Please scroll down after reading above post. Washington Post article included.

Oops, meant to post this under the loose trolls post...
I'm going to keep ignoring these troll posts. It's kind of fun, actually, just pretend you don't see them.
