The operative word in your post

It comes as no surprise that when a person frequents the same blog sites over and over and over, focuses on and seeks out only those sources which support a given viewpoint, that the view would "seem pretty large."
Mainstream media LOVES a good scandal. One only has to review the recent coverage of cabinet appointees to verify the truth of that statement. They place inordinate amounts of emphasis on negativity and "problems" that might be encountered with a nominee and somehow fail to give equal time to the more positive aspects, strategies behind the selection process or analysis of possible scenarios of opinions, advice and policy initiatives (the real meat behind the circumstance) that would emerge from such an administration. Having said that, at the same time they DO have to uphold certain principles of ethics in their reporting. IF the BC issue had any semblence of legitimacy, they would be all over it. We would be getting wall-to-wall, night and day "breaking news" coverage for weeks on end. It is curious that you do not say exactly who is "telling" them not to cover it. Guess that means you cannot back it up with any sort of fact.
Hawaiian authorities are simply following their own legal framework and abiding by the release of information policies of their state. No deep dark hidden agenda in that since there is no boat to rock. The fact that Californian electorates are parties to suits against Obama only goes to show us all that there is no end to the ridicule the plaintiffs are willing to bring down upon themselves in their attempt to overthrow a legitimate election result.
Judges in the lower courts have been unanimous and consistent in the decisions they have rendered and, again, it is curious that you have provided no specifics on just who has "bought them out" and what they are afraid of....perhaps for the same reason...no available proof to the allegations.
Please spare me any concern you may feign over "civil unrest." That is precisely the goal of these legal proceedings...the same tired failing tactics used in the McC camp that failed during the election process. Unless and until the pub party understands their own pressing mandate to CLEAN HOUSE, find some new leadership and perform a platform transplant, they are doomed to lose future elections, especially if they continue to try to rely on Rovian campaign stategies.
Like I said, this is much more miniscule than you are able to imagine despite the mountains of paranoid delusions you have examined on fringe blog sites. Give up this folly and move on...the sooner, the better.

FORMER being the operative word here,
I think that is where the system WORKED. Welfare shouldn't be a lifestyle. It should be temporary. He is a WORKING American now. End of story.

MAJORITY is the operative word, friend.
They could have passed this bailout bill on their own if they wanted to. The President can't vote.
You saw the word "Christian" in that post?
WHERE???????????
So you just cling to one word in my post "scared" sm
and suddenly I am cowering? I said I was not happy with either candidate and trying to decide who scares me less. Thanks for your promise to drag me out of the mire, but I think I'll just vote republican this year so hopefully I can walk out of it on my own. Trying to instill your own scare tactics? Not working.
I picked up the quack word from the original post.
No double standard here...unless only Obama detractors are allow to use the quack word. Since you have a hard time talking about more than one thing at a time, let's not divert our attention to include the third subject of homosexual marriage, OK...just keep it simple so you can keep up.
Out of control being the operative words....
said control denied JOhn McCain and republicans by democrats.
The operative phrase "due to no fault of their own"
and then there's the millions of others that are just LAZY
I have no problem helping the disabled or even someone that lost their job and has some hard times...
My problem is those that choose not to better themselves BECAUSE of these handouts.
Dont tell me I deserve to work my ASS OFF to pay for these people to live.
I have a huge heart, and I don't make much money even after working hard, and I choose to give it to the charities of my choice, which is the way it should be, not TAKEN from me to give to people that DONT want to better themselves.

I remember the debate. And of course this is not word for word, I NEVER said...sm
*because I'm not.* This is a LIE that I got tired of arguing with them about then. Unless you are confusing me with an old poster that went under the moniker Demo.

Not one word. One defitinion of a word.
Cult: 1. A system of religious worship or ritual.
Or how about this:
Cult: A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
Or my personal favorite:
Cult: A self-identified group of people who share a narrowly defined interest or perspective.
At least he's using the O word
He's at least a little closer to the actual truth this time. How come no one important seems to care about all these changes in reasoning? Does anyone notice??? (Except us?)
There's that word again.

With or without the *word*
I agree with the post. Thanks for posting it. I'm sorry this entire thread has been invaded by those who are only here to attack. They are showing their true colores, though. They want to control what eveyone reads, sees, speaks, thinks and which God they believe in. These boards are only a microcosm of the country, and they are quite representative of their party. The more they reveal their controlling selves here and places like this, hopefully, the more people will see it for what it is and finally feel they've had ENOUGH! For that reason, I personally hope they keep it up. 
When is the key word.
And when will it be? Bush has already admitted that solving this quagmire will be the responsibility of a future President. If we *stay the course,* any terrorist or insurgent would then be given a free pass to kill our American soldiers (brutally, like they did this morning) while these soldiers are trying to fight for the Iraqis. They scream and yell against amnesty for illegals who want to come here to work, but they're in favor of it if it involves our troops being killed.
HOW TWISTED IS THAT?!!
I'm grateful the majority of these Senators showed support for our troops and respect for their lives.
I have one word. sm
Bull.
N-Word
Regarding the definition you posted: “deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense,” I submit the following:
I think there is much ado about nothing here. Does anyone say the "C-word" when blacks refer to whites as "crackers?" I don't even bother finding that offensive. Again, political correctness. Such as one time I received an email saying "black" was ALWAYS capitalized but "white" was never capitalized. Fine with me. So if "black" is capitalized why is "white" never capitalized??? Black and white are colors, why should either be capitalized? Which, by the way is what the next QA person informed me of, as if I didn't already know that.
I have used the infamous "N-word" but never in connection with the color of a person's skin. I used the term exactly as described by Mr. Webster. Most usually I have used it to describe what we Caucasians would call "white trash" or people who have 50 cars up on jacks in their front yards. I grew up in a community where there were no blacks so I certainly grew up with no predjudice and I still have no predjudice. Black or white we are all God's children and one is no better, or worse, than the other. Not meant to be off topic, just to say that in my opinion, Obama should not be viewed as being "black" or "white." He should be judged based on his own merits, or lack thereof, as a human being. While I don't support him, I am probably less critical of him than I am of McCain.
but not without the last word, right? YOU...
are the one keeping the thread alive...can't resist that one more little twist of the knife. Grownup? I don't think so. Mob mentality? You bet. That has been well demonstrated here. Only thing missing is the pitchforks, torches and castle bridge. LOL. Sheesh.
Word up
Twelve more people dispatched by McCain to Alaska to further vet Palin (AFTER she was announced). Things not looking good. Speculation is that her name will be withdrawn. No communists are involved in the vetting.
In a word...Always. That is if you believe

key word here is
SOME people are worth defending . . . (not all) Katrina deja vu. The true conservative mind unmasked. Thanks for the insight.
Well...but it is the last word.

So, does anyone believe a word of
banks & the stock market? Instead of giving $700B to them, maybe some of it should go to helping Galveston & New Orleans.
The average Joe is gonna take a hit in this, either way. And, that being the case, I'd feel a lot better about all of us kissing our retirement goodbye, and most likely spending our old age on the government dole, if all those greedy fat-cats went down the toilet with us.
to last word sam - where did I say
I simply answered as to where they were when the vote was being taken.
You'd make a good politician with your constant need to always have the last word and manipulating every post you read.
In a word, yes.
It is apparent that the sanctions have not had the desired result as was their original intent. In fact, typically economic sanctions DO only end up hurting the populations of countries with dictatorial leadership...people who have little or no power affect change.
Another side to this coin would be the need for an attitude adjustment on the part of the US. I am referring to the notion that the US should be "toppling" the Castro brothers or any other regime not to our liking. Preserving our national security is a legitimate concern. Fomenting violent overthrow, bankrolling coupe d'tats, installing puppet governments that that carry out the shots we call....NOT. We are not in charge of the world and need to evolve into relationships based on peaceful coexistence, period.
How can anyone believe a word the man says....
why, how silly of me. Because they have walked the yellow brick road to the great and powerful "O." He counts on it.
I know the word has been used a lot but...that's SAD.

No. The middle class seems to be shrinking every day, and it does not appear to be migrating north into the rich class either. Like you, I am concerned for our future and whether I will even have a home this time next year.
Please don't take this as a Christian "rant" but last night during my prayers, I literally cried because I fear for the world that my sons will be going out into very soon. Their generation is going to have a very rocky start, much more so than we did and certainly much more than our parents did. I am also very concerned for my mother and all elderly people like her. Will she be able to continue buying her medication, even with Medicare and supplement insurance? This month, she fell in the donut hole and had to pay for part of her medications from her own pocket to the tune of some $400. Her monthly income is only just over $900.
I'm currently paying 11.75% on my home mortgage because it was taken out when interest rates were quite high and my credit is less than stellar. I have asked numerous times, in light of reduced interest rates, for it to be dropped, but the company is not willing to do that. I've been paying on it for 12 years now and I think I might own the back door.
I still hope and pray that our nation can turn around and get back on the road to prosperity for all, but I think about the Great Depression and what it took for this nation to right itself and experience prosperity once again. I don't think I am ready for another World War to happen in order for that to take place.
Everyone is in a tight place now. Even the rich are beginning to "suffer," although I have little to no pity for them as their suffering, while it does impair their lifestyles, is nothing compared to what is going on with the rest of the nation.
Sorry to be a downer this morning, but it's time we "prepare for the worst and hope for the best." It's going to be a long, hard haul back to the top.....if we ever make it.
In a word, no.
Republicans who constantly try to impede the President-Elect and his administration in their attempts to tackle the the wasteland that W is leaving in his dust will only end up digging their own graves. These lame transparent baseless smears are as transparent as Saran Wrap and only end up revealing the ignorance of those who propagate them. Keep up the good work. It is about as effective as the failed campaign that has left this party in shambles.
It's so much more than just one word..(sm)

I think the word you are looking for is.....sm
presumptuous.
I find it rather self-serving of Obama to expect to move into the Blair House before it is available. Events at this house are scheduled months in advance and Mr. Bush was well within his rights as PRESIDENT to turn down Obama's request.
Why does Obama think the earth spins around him?
I think maybe the word you were looking for...(sm)
was "confusing," not "deceiving." Obama was very clear in laying this out time and time again. Youtube is full of videos of his speeches and debates. You might want to browse through them. What is deceiving though are posts like the one you just did.
In a word.................. sm
Yes. On both counts. If the rapist has a true salvation in Christ and the Jew does not .
Friend, you are more than pragmatic. You are hedging a bet that you are bound to lose if you don't accept Christ. It is as simple as that.
And the MSM never said a word about...
The 2 soldiers killed by a
"recent convert" to Islam in a drive-by shooting, but trumpeted how George Tiller was such a fine man cut down in the prime of life.
OMG, you used the word Christian! SM
Run!!!!! By the way, I totally agree. But they have to give it little names like fetus and things to keep from admitting it is a human being that God has helped create. Whatever floats their boat.
I don't think threatened is the word. SM
I think disturbed covers it better. You and Libby with your screaming posts. What's up with that?
the word should be *brought*
my fingers have a mind of their own...
take Mrs. Tillmans word?
She is his MOTHER. Why would she make that up? His friends in the army have also said the same. This is just another example of Bush propaganda. The Tillman family cant even get a true report on how and why he died. Take Mrs. Tillmans word for it? Ill take hers over the administration when it comes to her son. :)
I believe I used the word *present*. nm

Do we have a different definition for the word lie?nm

I don't doubt one word you say.
Especially considering Bush's fondness of scare tactics. I don't know if she drinks or not (I've often thought she looked, sounded and acted drunk), which makes me wonder if she might have one too many someday and spill the beans. Either way, she doesn't seem like a very stable person.
I'm sorry about your career. You weren't one of those CIA whistle blowers, were you? We've all seen, through this administration at leas, that honesty in government is a big no-no, and if anyone tries to divulge their dirty tricks, they're lives are destroyed.
A word on history.
Whatever it is that is being discussed concering global conflicts, when using history to clarify, define, explain, prove, whatever...I always try to remember that history has always been written and interpreted by the victor.
A word about choice
I think we have probably said all that we can say on that matter, and we won't agree, but I enjoyed speaking with you.
I just want to add a word about women who support choice. It seems that many people are quick to judge a woman that supports choice, stating that she must have had an abortion or would be willing to have one. I can only speak for myself, a few friends, and family members, but I can tell you that in our case, this it entirely not true. My sister always states that she is, Personally conservative, but politically liberal. I do have a few friends who had had abortions, but I do not believe that I could ever have one myself, and though I would stand by my daughter if that was a choice she made, I would be devastated inside. So, while this is not a choice I would make, I will still support the right to choose for other women. In an ideal world, there would be no unwanted pregnancies, but until there is, I will always stand for choice.
Peace.
A word about choice...
And I enjoy talking with you. It is good to discuss opposing viewpoints without anger and condescencion. We will have to agree to disagree. There is so much more to this than just abortion. As I have said, and as I will continue to say, when we as a nation begin to devalue life at any stage, we are on a slippery slope headed downward. And to start that devaluation with the most innocent and helpless among us...is horrifying to me. The idea of murdering captive child in utero is absolutely horrifying to me. As I said, I will follow the law of the land, and just because some wingnuts have blown up clinics and shot doctors does not mean that all people of faith believe that. I believe it is wrong to do that and I would have no part of that. However, I will continue to call it what I believe it is, and that is murder. And in the end, the women who choose abortion and the doctors who perform them will have to answer for that one day, not to you or me, but to God.
God bless!
My word, have you gone nuts?
holy cow. Repeat yourself much? Go crazy much? You would be amusing in a freak show sort of way if it weren't so pathetic. Geez. Time for your meds?
You can't sleep without the last word eh?
Read through your posts on this forum - you gotta have the last word, and it's usually not a nice one. Troublemaker! 
Sad you must use a misspelled word
