And I actually *was* Hell on Wheels - or at least in the division:) Patton's old stomping grounds. I couldn't agree with you more, it's time for a little good old-fashioned comeuppance in the time-honored American style.

Sounds good to me
I have lost all credibility with you? Yippee!! Yehhaaww!! Right on!! I cant think of another hateful annoying prehistoric thinking person I would rather lose credibility with than you! **BIG HUG**
Sounds good to me
I have been ignoring Observer for a few days and it feels great. No need to respond to Observer, I post for my fellow Democrats/liberals and read posts from them. If I wanted to be questioned and **educated** in conservative ways, I would frequent the conservative board.
And it sounds good when he says he
...once again, get him to show us how he is going to do this. He will not and cannot.
You dad sounds like a good man...
No parent likes to see thier child in turmoil. His advice for you was loving and kind, aimed, I believe, at bringing you some peace of mind. It is very likely you will find just that if you are able to follow his lead, or at least try to summon up as much positive energy as negative so as to achieve a balance between the two, then try leaning toward the positive. Life is really short to spend it worrying about things you have very little control over.
Sounds good to me. nm
Sounds good to me.
But take away all the corporate give-aways too.
That all sounds really good.
I don't mean to be "glass half empty," but I'm trying to think of the last politician that kept his campaign promises, pub or dem, congress or president. I'll start a list here:
1.
It sounds good on the face....
but I don't see American physicians taking a 3x cut in their income. It boggles the mind to think what the initial cost of that billing system they are talking about would be. And the big thing that concerns me is the "broad taxes on earned and unearned income." Like I have said over and over...if they can find the money without taking more than 35% off the top of my wages, I am all for it. However, I am not willing to go to 50-55%. I don't know many who are.
Your second idea sounds good....... sm
but it may be a moot point. The legislation is struggling in the Senate and W himself is lobbying for Senate to pass a bailout. Looks like the automakers may go home empty handed.
I'm not in favor of the bailout, but neither am I in favor of more people losing their jobs if it could be prevented, so I don't know what the best solution is. Over the past couple of days, Sony, Office Depot, and a mining company (name escapes me at the moment) have all laid off thousands of workers. I'm just wondering where it all will end.
sounds like a good idea to me!
I can remember when insurance companies did that before and they were not going out of business. So you think because my child is born with a medical problem, she should not get health insurance?
sounds good in theory
& it's great you can manage to love your neighbors because you are forced to, but it would be great if you could work on the idea that homosexuality should be talked about in the same context as addiction, adultery, or other harmful or evil behaviors.
Homosexuality...is very much about loving another human being, despite everyone's (I daresay prurient) focus on sex. It's a mistake to equate being exactly what the godhead created you to be with evil, & to say that you can love your neighbor "in spite of" this shows such a profound lack of understanding & tacit attitude of superiority that I don't even know where to start.
If you knew the nature of real love and acceptance, you wouldn't have to force yourself to do anything.
Let's start with Valerie...sounds like a good person to me...

This is great and long overdue! (nm)
Glad they're taking a stand. It's well overdue.
In the first half of the year 1 million illegal aliens were found trying to cross the border; this doesn't mention the ones who make it across w/o being caught.
Disagree. We have a fascist corpocracy, long overdue
The democracy will emerge once we clean house and get a real American elected to office. Excuse me for looking forward, not backards.
Oh gee...that sounds like too much
thinking to have to do...... To think for yourself and not follow like lost sheep.... gee whiz.
sounds like we now have
scientific proof of putting lipstick on a pig!! Great experiement.
It sounds like
you are not endorsing Barack Obama.
It just sounds like to me that she
lives in the neighborhood that she prefers, so that she can be her might self-righteous self.
Sounds like us and more soon when (NM)
x
sounds like
sedition to me.
Sounds like someone needs to look
a little deeper into history. FDR actually prolonged the duration of the great depression with his government programs. Get a clue! Stimulus package is a BAD idea and will not work!!!!!
It sounds as though you do not want our
Congresspeople not to listen to the people's voices, I cannot believe that! I am a Democrat. I thought that is why we held elections. Look at the national polls, the numbers are dropping every day, but the last I heard it was like 37% of Americans in favor of passing this stimulus bill. And you are proud these calls are being ignored? This is a perfect example of downright IGNORANCE!
Sounds like someone
needs to go put their nose in the corner or sit in the time out chair. Wow.
Sounds sensible enough, but I wonder...
...would you have the same discussion with them about sniffing glue? Snorting coke? Smoking "Smarties" (the newest thing)? Drinking Drano?
If you're going to disappoint me, break the law and do something harmful to your body, I'd rather you do it at home.
Sorry - I can't get a handle on that one. It's a "helpless parent" position that amounts to parental malfeasance, IMHO. I'm sorry to put it in such stark terms and I realize that I'm going to be in the minority on this one.
Sounds like they are trying........... sm
to do damage control in order to keep their Fortune "Most Admired" status.
It sounds to me as if you need to go to
your personal prayer closet and find your peace. You cannot say how you would react if one of your children came and told you he/she was homosexual.
Just to stay on topic, I am of a firm conviction and do agree with you that this is not a subject to be taught in public schools.
Now you are the one who sounds drunk

Lol, welcome back. Sounds like you had fun.nm

Sounds like they are on the ball...sm
This is something that conservatives preach about, citizens have the ability to change the country not government, so you would think Ann would embrace this movement. There is no doubt in my mind that if these widows raised these issues while a Democrat was sitting as president Coulter would be praising them.
The idea here is to get OUR house in order before we go clean out someone elses.
Sounds like you have compassion for everyone!
xx
Sounds like she is just reaching ...
nm
Sounds like you are referring to a
certain group of people. Correct me if I have misunderstood. Who are you talking about? The vast majority of conservatives who believe the Bible is divinely inspired support the Constitution and don't want it meddled with. Your observation truly has me confused. 
Sounds like that's exactly what you're trying to do
Grow up. Obama has nothing to brag on in that regard, either.
sounds like jealousy
you may say otherwise but reading your post you can see it. Jealousy plain and simple!
Sounds like he is just showing how
much of a pig he really is.
Sounds a bit selfish to me.....nm
nm
sounds rather redundant to me.. ...sm
I must not have a sense of humor this morning.
Do you have another e-mail regarding how everything he touched all day long was stamped "made in China" or Taiwan, or Korea, etc.? Now that's scary, and not a good joke at all.....don't say it's the republicans that made that happen, either...I blame them both parties on that one....more's the pity.
Sounds to me as if you or your family
would never vote for him anyway. I am from a small town in PA, born, bred and live in a small town, and I and my DH have no qualms with any of the so-called elitist statement, and as I said before, as I see it and hear it, he is right! Some people are just too stupid or too bigoted to vote for their best interests, period, and that is the truth. It is incredible to come through 8 years of the worst government this nation has ever seen, in the middle of a financial crisis that is being compared to the Great Depression, to vote for and give those people at least 4 more years that have brought this country to its knees, in one war that was unnecessary, that cast aside the constitution, torture, and all the other horrendous wrongdoings of the Bush administration, to allow race or a few misspoken words stop from electing a good man, an intelligent man, well, that is just stupidity or bigotry any way you slice it. BTW, I am a 54-year-old white woman.... And I know there are more out there just like me who will vote for this man.. Be he elitist or be he a black radical or whatever slur you would throw at him, I will bet that he will be our next president, and Good Lord I hope so!! As I read through your writings here, seems to me you have not even stopped to think about how much this man has gone through to get where he is...as a black man, it could not have been easy for him, but he did, and he is, and I say more power to him. All you can do is slur and impune him, give him no benefit of the doubt, or even think through what another 4 years of Republican rule will do to our country or your own quality of life. You like to repeat the things they say on rightwing radio/TV, which are hateful and downright mean, and you have to be of a certain mindset to even listen to it. I listen to Limbaugh, I watch Faux News, but I can't do so for very long because to me they are nothing but evil. If you want to get religious, they are not very Christian-like, not if Christian means followers of Christ. All I hear from them is a lot of liese, hate and hypocrisy.
It sounds like YOU are the JEALOUS one!
See green much? Enough said.
yes, exactly the same. It all sounds ridiculous to me
but people better start paying attention to the issues and stop with the emotions already. break it down, what is each candidate offering ME and my children. We are left to figure out the honesty from the lies but we should all step back and pay close attention to what is happening here.
I as an independent have been questioning motives - and I do not like being used.
Sounds like a housemate I used to have....
LOL...Dang...sounds like
we got a bunch of ole hillbillies on this board and I'm lovin it. So don't no one get their overhauls in a bunch! LOL.
sounds like I hit a nerve with you...
So if Obama is elected, which it certainly is going his way, will you move to another country? Oh and funny how you didn't state what you were doing about the baby pile-up situation. Guess your hands are "clean" and someone else will have to do that.
Sounds like you got it all figured out . . .
tell me where you got your crystal ball, 'cause I want one!
No it's not. Sounds a little too much like 'kill
*
Sounds like socialism. nm
nm
It sounds lovely...buh-bye now!
:)
Sounds like you ARE voting - nm
That sounds a little paranoid to me.
Racism exists in all cultures and races and creeds, and should not be tolerated by ANYONE EVER!!
sounds wonderful
thank you so much. I just might make that in my regular oven first!
