You were the one who had the whatever attitude.sm
-It happens all the time...move on.-
I beg to differ.
What an attitude!
I can see by reading along that you are simply not able to have a logical conversation with ANYONE despite my being respectful. And for your information, the reason I made the statement that we cannot agree is that we are speaking from different basic ethical and moral stands and neither of us is willing to budge. I will choose life and you will choose to end life. You really should not fall back on your religious convictions to explain your belief system, though. I am sure there are pro-choice Christians and I am careful to separate my personal feelings from all of Christianity. This is something you seem unable or unwilling to do. I am not quite sure why anyone would attempt to debate someone such as yourself, but I am sure I will not make that mistake again. It seems you have effectively silenced anyone who does not agree with you often in your lifetime. How nice for you.
Well, you said you had a busy day
not had time to turn on the TV yet. This is all over the networks.
what an attitude....
That's your only criterium for voting for the President of the United States?
And you are rich.
This is pathetic.
Well, it's just another one of our busy
conversations! She seriously needs to find something to do with her life besides run down good people. She is hilarious!
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.
Sam too busy hanging out at tit-for-tat
su
No reason for that attitude.
She was just posting those as examples of things that have been said that are false and that what the OP posted about was yet another one of those rumors that just aren't true.
And this is exactly the kind of attitude
that I feel will ruin us if Obama is elected. Oh...if you don't want to pay your fair share.....just don't make as much. Why should people feel like they have to lower their income. It will make hard working people not want to work hard because the government just takes what they earn. Then you have the people who don't make anything and are living off of the government and that number will grow. The more government assistance given, the more they want and the more they will take. It will make spending for these programs outrageous. Why should we enable people to mooch off of the government?
I understand there are people who legitimately need help. People who are truly disabled and can't work. However, there are many others who are literally just mooching so they don't have to work.
I have to think of MY future. I have two kids who will go through college. One boy is a freshman now so college really isn't too fair away. I have a house I'm paying for. I have a special needs child that requires more of my money. I want to put my hard earned money back for my kids and myself for a rainy day. I don't want it taken from me and given to people who I don't know and who I don't know whether they truly need it or are just lying and mooching off of the government.
The bottom line is this, making more money is an incentive to work hard. You take their money away and give to people who don't work hard and what does that show.....it shows that you don't have to work hard because the government will pick of the tab and it shows the hard workers....why bother. I don't want that for my country. I don't want my kids raised in that kind of life thinking that hard work doesn't pay off.
what a sourpus attitude.
What a condescending attitude.
.
She's too busy rolling them!
Seriously though, I think it all depends on your views (no pun intended) who you like or don't like on that show or elsewhere for that matter. I happen to like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, democrats hate them.
You have the typical dem attitude of it's everyone
nm
I was too busy griping about.........sm
the auto industry.....you really should be more patient, you know. 
Well, with an attitude like that, you're probably right.
Ever heard of innovation? Trying new things? Evolution? Going with the flow? Growth? Change? Hope? Faith?
Perhaps you should take a bit of time out of your oh so busy...
day and read up on Charles Krauthammer. He is well-respected in Washington and has served in a couple of administrations. Expand your mind darling...

No doubt..........you were probably too busy
watching Pelosi jumping up and down like an idjit who escaped from the looney bin....
Even Biden and the others looked like they were sick and tired of that charade.

yer too busy puking to debate.
Did it every occur to you that we are busy doing instead of talking?
While I am sure that it has never occurred to you, you are the person who some time back said that you never make generalizations. That, obviously, was not true.
Yes, YOUR attitude is one our forefathers envisioned, huh?! lol
geez.
It we adopt that attitude, we will be plunged into war
for the foreseeable future. I certainly do not want that, and I wouldn't think you would either. I have worked very closely with people from the middle east, mostly from Jordan and Pakistan, and I can most assuredly say that it is not US, the American people that they hate, it is our governmental policies that they hate. Those same policies of interference when it is not warranted that have created this chasm. It is not about cultural differences or about religion, the resistance is coming from that sector of radicalism. We have used and manipulated the peoples and governments of the middle east for our own ends for generations.
Your words are not acceptable to me because they tell me that there is no hope and to just give up and give in to the fact that we are going to be embroiled in war forever. I don't want that for my children or for my children's children.
Too busy for blather and babble...
Which places me at distinct disadvantage when it comes to being on a level playing field. Rather than give you the satisfaction of taking that ball and running with it, being that rt-wingers love to have that last, best word and, when all else fails, to deploy their kick-em’when their down weaponry (one of their more notorious modus operandi), I have come to a decision.
GT/GW/BK is going to grant your wish and trot on off into the sunset where the first order of business will be to wash off all the mud and slime of slur and slander. My absence will remove your forum for all these trite tantrums and tirades. Besides, I have more that adequately illustrated the points I was trying to make. Your ignorant bigotry exposed itself, so I didn’t have to bother much with that. But as long as you insist on preaching sermons that polarize us from one another and couch them in contexts every bit as distasteful and hateful as you find Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s creed, there will always be enough “vitriol” coming from all sides, if that is the way you prefer to play your cards and tone you chose to set in your posts. Your bully tactics will never succeed in scaring off those who are willing to step forward to advocate for minority interests, human rights and diginity, inclusion and equality. Pull as many punches and take as many jabs as you like. There are plenty where those come from on both sides of an argument.
So from behind the cloak of chat room pen name anonymity, GT/GW/BW will be settling into retirement, composing brand new posts and looking for worthy opposition and viable solutions, not fringe fanatics and bar room brawls.
PS: FPJ, one in the same. The plagiary ball is back in your court, where it belongs. Interesting, though, just in case FPJ was an entirely different indivudual, you were already spinning "channeling" theories which you then tried to use to insult a hologram, discounting any possibility that FJP could conceivably be speaking on her own behalf. Ciao for now. It's been fun.
Replying to all your posts...keeps me busy....
and you all accuse me of keeping the thread alive. Hellloooo. 95% of my posts are in response to your attacks. Stop attacking, I stop replying. see how simple that is???
Sam busy w/damage control this a,m.

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.
No, Francie has the attitude. SHE turns me away
nm
no, YOUR attitude is what scares sensible people.
x
You have a really bad attitude and I will never answer any more of your posts because
You just don't get it at all. Go back to Fox News and rest assured, my time will not be wasted on your ignorance anymore.
Well please don't apply one person's attitude to everyone - sm
I for one am very sad that his Grandmother passed away, particularly at this time in his life.
See? It's just that kind of mean-spirited attitude
the republican party. Look at the difference in the crowds at the post-election speeches: One that was all-inclusive, and one that was obviously quite exclusive. One in which the candidate and the people who voted for him were willing to reach their hands out to the defeated party and say, "C'mon we're all in this thing together", and one in which the candidate's party booed the winner.
It's not 'just words', as you put it... it's the beginning of a dialogue, something that's been missing not only within the US, but also between the US and the rest of the world.
McCain is not mean-spirited. He was a good candidate, ran a good race, and would most likely have been a good president. But the party he represents has been consumed in recent years by greed and short-sightedness. And that seems to have gone a long way towards cultivating the mean-spiritedness that's been the hallmark of that party for the last couple of decades.
I think the best thing the Republican Party can do for itself and for future elections is to learn from the mistakes of the last 20 years, and start making changes, and conducting themselves like this is the 21st century, not the 16th century. This country was long overdue for a change for the better, and to embrace the 21st century, not fear it.
That attitude is why racism still exists.....

with that "better than thou" attitude
i have nothing to say
Im not surprised you voted Obama. i bet your nose is turned up right now
If you can't figure out what i mean, surely you are the kind of person I could trust to know how the economy got this way and what to do to save it...
Your holier than thou attitude....(sm)
is quite amazing. Exactly how do you know that Obama was not sent by God, or as you would say, that the will of mankind by choosing Obama is not in line with the will of God? Has, per chance, your god bestowed upon you the gift of seeing into the future? If this is not the case, exactly what do you base your assumptions about the job Obama will do on? Maybe its because you have bought into the fear doctrine of Bush so much that you can't see beyond it.
You said, *If you believe for one minute that Obama is going to change the way that Iran or any other country in the middle east view America you are very, very naive. The only thing Obama will accomplish will be to weaken this country in an effort to make us more "likeable" to the world and in the end the only thing we will be is weak*
I would love to hear your definition of *weak.* From what I can gather from your posts, weak in your eyes is the unwillingness to use force first. So, what is so wrong with diplomacy? Is your only response to a situation the *shoot first and ask questions later* mentality? Believe it or not, there is strength in the ability to negotiate and compromise with others. Since you base everything on religion, what does your Bible say about that? Does it not teach compassion and understanding? Of have you just interpreted it in a manner that suits you personally?
Do I believe Obama will put an end to offshoring American jobs? I believe that is his goal, unlike Bush and McCain who both supported tax breaks for companies overseas who do that exact thing. Look up their voting records.
*How can he make America liked and respected by other countries, and take away a source of income for so many in third world countries?* It's called FAIR TRADE. Look it up. Maybe you didn't pay attention to what Obama was saying during his campaign. Did you even listen to him, or did you just get the Fox rendition? I would be willing to bet that those *third world countries* know more about his policies than you do, and yet they overwhelmingly support him.
And then there's the middle east. Everyone says they don't want Iran to have nukes. I agree, but I also don't want anyone else to have nukes either. You would argue that Iran is too radical to be trusted with them. I would say the same thing about Israel and the US. Under Bush's reign we have started 2 major wars and are presently funding Israel in its war to the tune of about over 2 billion a year in direct military support. Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a while. If you lived in Iran (a democratic state), you saw this behavior, and you know you are labeled as *next* on the Bush hit list, wouldn't you be trying to arm up?
Now I know you're going to say that each and every one of those wars was justified, but you are sooo wrong it's ridiculous. Israel -- They have been bullying everyone over there for years in the name of the holy land and are currently killing civilians at an alarming rate. Iraq -- An unjust war, to say the least. And then there's Afghanistan, which was supposed to be retaliation for 9/11. Why do you think 9/11 happened? Do you think before 9/11 that everyone in the world just loved the US? News flash -- No, they didn't. The US has been meddling in the middle east for years on end (which included putting people like Saddam in power). So, you think that the Bush administration had no way of seeing it coming. Maybe you missed this interview. It's very enlightening.

And yet, you would say that Bush has *kept us safe.* What a joke!
Amazingly, you call me naive when I am the one looking at the facts, and all you have are innuendos, rumors and guesses about what may happen. Unfounded fears about the future do nothing for the progression of society. The sooner you learn that, the sooner you will be able to see the truth.
You have a good attitude Penny sm
I'm glad you welcomed me back but I see an Obama supporter believe it or not has called me a moron. I wonder what's up with that?
It's glaringly obvious who has the attitude here...(sm)
Instead of actually contributing the conversation, you came along and just decided to pick out someone for a fight. I really am happy that you have such a wonderful life and that this crisis is seemingly not affecting you. However, I don't believe that gives you the right to criticize those who are being affected. But then again, I would assume that was your point -- to just stir up a fight. Maybe you should spend some of that $600 a month on a hobby.
BTW, if I were trying to be nasty, I would have actually told you that you are mindless wonder instead of just saying I would have called you something else. LOL.
While you're busy running around...
...monitoring and reading everyone's minds, it appears you've lost your own in the process.
It doesn't matter what a poster writes. If you perceive anyone even trying to support the President of the United States, you automatically go into full combat alert and slam that person, regardless. This is why intelligent, productive discussions can't be held on this board: too much bitterness, hatred and playground bully behavior.
Obama won. Your guy lost. How about showing some dignity and grace (if you're capable).

No..,.actually he is very busy RUNNING our country
He is the president of ALL the people and the MAJORITY of ALL people approve and support him. AND, much to your dismay I am quite sure, he is doing a GREAT job of it!
JBB won't read anything.....too busy pushing
--
Al Gore and his "green" attitude
is the biggest bunch of BS I've ever seen. That fat man preaches to everyone about global warming and then jumps on his private jets and flies off. The kicker is that he is getting rich off of this scam too.
No, you're too busy defending an incompetent
Nice attitude there, lifelong Democrat....
and I was not whining. There were a couple complaining that they did not want conservatives here. The board monitor has said many times cross posting was fine. The liberals on this board were the ones whining....and I was going to respect the whining...and I was trying to be nice about it. Unlike YOU I might add. THAT is the liberal attitude I am talking about. If someone disagrees with you, they are making trouble. You absolutely cannot handle someone not endorsing your every idea. You want to make me public enemy #1 and all I did was disagree with a point of view. Are you really that insecure? Obviously the answer to that is yes. I was trying to extend an olive branch and you say I'm whining. What a condescending, elitist attitude....but then, why should that surprise me, lifelong Democrat??
'Well, 'scuse me, GP. I was pretty busy
working today and didn't have much time to do anything else. I spotted that post and just wanted to see where it came from. FYI, I usually I DO my own research.
You're too busy trying to insult the posters
that I even copy your own words and you argue against that. One poster said he has never run for President or Vice President and you replied to that post and said "Yes he has". Brother I keep saying its like talking to a brick wall.
This kind of attitude will ensure another GOP defeat
x
I hope he appreciates your servile attitude
Enough already.
Busy working. Didn't pay attention
when that was going on. It was only after I started reading the posts on this board that I really started to nose around. If I would have known, I would've been protesting loudly. So, it's my fault in that respect.
I still don't have a lot of time to spend on this board, but someday I will. Some days I can't get on here at all. Other days, only 1/2 hour.
Bush is busy writing his legacy.

Everybody else is too busy getting ready for the coronation of the Obamanation!
