on all this. The acts committed by gay couples are 'abnormal'. If those aame acts are committed by a heterosexual couple, do they become 'normal'? I mean, they don't led directly to procreation, so what's permissible? Really need to know how to plan my evening.

At least it will be with the intended gender......

I have to agree with you. It is sad. I am sure that is not how it was intended to be nm

She announced that she intended to release it on...
inauguration day. Now you tell me why she would do that, if she was not invested in it being Barack Obama being inaugurated?

Come on! lol.

It really wasn't intended to be rude........ sm
I just thought it kind of ironic...that's all.

It's a fake photoshopped hit job picture (no pun intended)...nm

High expectations for leaders...nah, Clinton pretty much blew that. No pun intended. nm

Hey MT why are you using a different handle?
Wished you dead? By your posts, I realize now who you really are, MT. You read into things that arent there and the one other person who has done that consistently is MT. So, welcome back MT. Wish you dead? Oh please, I couldnt care less about you and I most certainly would not put negative energy on myself wishing anyone dead, MT. Now hurry up run back to your conservative board, MT, as it is time to bash liberals once again.

can't handle it?
Wow... I mean I haven't been here that long, but from what I've seen she only responds to what is talked about, i have seen no "attacks" by Sam, I can only assume you are referring to her disagreements with you, and can only look at this post as a desperate call for help cause you can't debate her points. That is what this board is for right? I mean, that is what a debate is, back and forth right? To call Sam out is interesting considering I've never seen personal attacks from her (i haven't read all her posts though) but I have seen plenty of crap come out of the liberals' mouths (keyboard) on this board... why dont you email her yourself and have it out rather than seriously asking the moderate to give her her own space. Last time I checked, we live in America and there is free speech. If you dont like what she has to say, IGNORE IT! (i do it all the time with some of the nonsense put out!)

You can't handle someone
opposing your opinion with facts? Yeah....I could see where that would annoy you. Sheesh. This whining about sam is ridiculous. Sam writes very well and more often than not has facts to back up her opinion. That is a heck of a lot more than I can say for some other people on this board. So grow up, stop whining to the moderator, and either ignore her posts or show some facts to back up your opinion like she does.

How to handle it
Hi,

I tend to vote conservative, but most of my friends are diehard Democrats. You just have to learn to agree to disagree. We all love each other, we just have different views.

I would like to say one thing, though, because not a lot of people know this. Back when Kerry was running, he was vocal about not sending our jobs overseas; however, behind the scenes, his biggest contributor, George Soros, actually bought two MT companies, which I won't name here, and those companies shipped half of their jobs to India. So don't let the Dems tell you that the Repubs are sending all the jobs offshore, because it is absolutely NOT SO.

Back to the point, though..you just have to learn to separate politics from friendship. You can have friendly debates, and if your friends get ugly, just explain to them we can debate this, but we need to agree to disagree for the sake of our friendship. If they are your true friends, they will agree.

i bet she will handle it
have ;)

Maybe she can't handle it when someone
points out her mistakes.

Will somebody else handle this one?
I'm just too tired to take it on, and it needs to be.

LOL. I'm sure they can't handle the video anyway.sm
The link works only for those who have the ability to think on their own.

I only post under one handle....
unlike others, that was put to rest last night. Let's just let that die, shall we? Apparently the moderator agrees.

She will handle herself just fine....
better than O, at the very least as well. And she is the #2 person...not the #1. We elect him, we get him day 1, and all the experience (limited though it is) is #2 on your ticket.

Ok, how do you think the administration will handle this

I knew it was a mistake to pick Clinton for SOS. The person who said she had no problems obliterating Iran if they didn't do what she wants (or something like that). How do you think the current administration to include Hillary will handle this one.

I will be happy to handle this...
The original poster makes a lot of valid points and should be commended for an intelligent, thoughtful post. What a breath of fresh air it would be if more people on this forum were as perceptive as the original poster.

I think he would handle it just fine...(sm)
However, I don't believe a man should be measured solely based on his ability to fight. I'll take brains over brawn any day.

Wow, I guess repubs really can't handle a little
You would prefer the rovian style of of GWB & DC dishonest fearmongering to fact? O is not offering up some mushroom cloud ultimatum of do it his way or face doom. He is simply proffering that things are probably going to get worse before they get better, which is also what any reputable economist is saying. There is no quick fix for what we have allowed to happen to our country.

I agree, all are entitled to handle grief in their own way.
It does seem that the grieving parent who chooses not to let his loss become a big public issue deserves just as much tolerance and respect as one who does. I don't think smearing or degrading any parent who's had such a loss is appropriate. We've heard for years now from families who have had losses and still support Bush and support the current war, and to my knowledge no one on the left has made a huge effort to discredit their motives or drag them through the mud or call their behavior "politically motivated." That just wouldn't be respectful and I know I would be against any such effort.

Gee that's funny READER, cuz I never saw your handle on here until the last few days. sm
So who are you Really? Why, I think you are a liar!

Guess we all handle things differently
If I were you I'd just let it go. Not worth the frustration.

Anyway...it's a beautiful weekend here (well if you call 50 degs and rainy beautiful), but it's the weekend and I'm going to enjoy it. Going to make myself a cup of hot cocoa and get warmed up. Hope you have a good weekend.

Yeah, and you cant handle hearing the truth.

For those whose brains can only handle sound byte mentality
For the rest of us, we need a little substance and certainly cannot take wild accusations with no verifiable or credible source in sight and pointless juvenile name calling too seriously on any level whatsoever.

And yes, Lynn is my name, not a handle; geesh I guess another conspiracy in the making. nm

Who would be silly enough to consult with him on how to handle a disaster? Nevermind, forget I asked

Facts are facts. No bash intended.
It will be this stellar record from which voters will be assessing her and her running mate.

They knew very well it would be leaked and intended for it to be leaked.
Someone in the White House (Obama's advisors are truly incompetent) thought this would suppress attendance at the tea parties. And who knows, maybe it did deter some people from coming out. Even so, attendance is simply amazing...and, as someone said, without any ACORN buses either.
