Petty, petty, petty....
slow news day today ladies?
How petty can you get?
I think we can chalk this up to hope for the best, expect the worst and be prepared for either. While we are on the subject, it seems McC is not too sure if he should be inside of outside of his own victory celebration....the lawn may be the best place from which to launch a quick getaway. Who knows? McC has been throwing up everything he can think of against the wall and so far, nothing sticks. This cocky mantra is only the latest and perhaps one of the lamest yet. Obama himself has warned repeatedly in the past few days about the dangers of complacency. Just because we are excited at the idea that he has a clear shot at winning does not in any way mean that the job is done or that his supporters have stopped their most diligent efforts to cover all the bases, dot all their Is and cross all their Ts. McC has also said "when I am president" and O has said "if elected." For pete's sake, grow up already.
No, I'm just going with petty.
Obama isn't the one griping about Blair house, I am. First off, he needed to move early so his kids could go ahead and start school. He wasn't trying to move into the white house. He was making a decision based on the needs of his kids. Yeah, that was just terrible of him.
Secondly, Blair house is what, 70,000 sq feet, comprised of townhouses, with 110 rooms and 35 bathrooms.
Third, the only guest there is the former prime minister of Australia, John Howard, who incidentally was kicked out of office for aligning with Bush.
Let me guess, there just wasn't enough room?
This is simply Bush being a butt head. Very childish, if you ask me, for someone who is supposed to be president.
Petty...huh?
And continually talking about Sarah Palin's daughter getting pregnant isn't petty? That has nothing to do with Palin's ability to run her state. Yet people continually bring that up and consider it a reason for Palin to fail politically.
The whole point of this is the fact that Obama is spending more money wastefully during this crisis. I'm sure he didn't foot the bill for that party. If our country had money, fine.....but everyone has to cut back during this time and that includes politicians. If they want to spend their own money....more power to them, but a majority of them are using taxpayer money. Just like Pelosi using military planes. Everyone is cutting back and they went after bank CEOs and auto CEOs and gave them crap for having private jets and here you have Pelosi using military planes costing taxpayers money. Another example of do as I say and not as I do, huh?
Petty tit for tat...(sm)
As much as I do dislike the last admin, this isn't about getting revenge. It's about standing up for what our nation is supposed to stand for.
If you want to go with just everyone who "knew" about it, then that would definitely wipe out a ton of people in the senate (probably both sides). However, who gave the orders to carry out torture? Who tried to rewrite the laws regarding torture? I would simply go after the directly guilty...and that does not include, btw, military personell who were following orders.
If you want to fry a dem on something, then go for Clinton for rendition, but that guilty by association thing that you guys seem to love to use isn't going to float.
Your jealous and petty
is my . . that's the law of the land, quite your botchin'. Change it or live with it. Good greasy gravy, grow up.
and even more pettiness....where's Tom Petty when
this whole board is petty
just doing my part to contribute.
How is it being petty and ridiculous because
There are so many of us out here struggling to make ends meet, put food on the table for our families and they are going out on a date at our expense? I did not vote for O, I am neither a republican or a democrat, but I have encouraged every one I know to support him and give him a chance. However, it seems that the more that I now try to encourage myself to support him, the more stupid things that he does. Let's forget about the date and talk about the trip to Los Angeles to raise money for Harry Reid. He took Air Force One, which by itself costs an unbelievable amount of money to just get ready to fly, hundreds of thousands of dollars, then you add in what it costs to get in the air. I completely understand that this is something that has been done by both parties in the past but when you stand before the cameras and ask every last person in America to sacrifice and then you go out and do things that are costing these same people even more money, I believe that it is completely appropriate to be angry as heck. Then I saw on CNN where the question was posed "is the $400,000 salary of the President of the United States adequate, should it be more." Well let's see, he travels at our expense, he has a roof over his head with no expenses whatsoever, food is on the table at no expense to him, he has a beautiful place to escape to for long weekends, again at no expense to him, so do I think that $400,000 is appropriate? You are dang right I think that it is appropriate.
This is an administration who preached about transparency during the election and, in my opinion, so far, they have been far from transparent. Even though I did not vote for him I truly hoped (and still hope) that he would make things better for all of us and so far I personally do not see that happening.
Petty? Why not to a movie, but
Double-standards, Obama's way.
Great try at a comeback. You are just as petty as
nm
I doubt they have time for that petty stuff. NM
Sounds like a petty, cruel god's rules
Actually this sounds like a human's idea of what a god would want. So obsessed with rules and regulations......
I like what I see in the mirror. Petty squabbles do not rile me,
I have not been trying to rile anyone all day. I have posted infrequent, well researched, rationale, logical discussions and comparisons of issues, plans, policies, platforms and positions, trying to egg pubs into some sort of similar response. So far, in response, they run from issues and reply with dodges, slams, bashes and digs.
I do not back down from these either, because some of the inflammatory ignorant poop they post seeks to undermine my candidate in destructive ways. I will be answering every single time in the same spirit that is used in the posts I am replying to. I have no sympathy for what pubs have "suffered" from SS today because dems are forced to deal with our own sally in the form of Sam 12 hours a day 5 days a week and have been doing so for months and months now. It's like Obama. He has been relentlessly raked through the coals for the past 18 months and has not complained one single time. SP and McCain have had this same treatment now for around 5 days and they are wimping out, whining like a couple of 5 year olds and declaring war on the so-called "liberal" press....not a terribly intelligent thing to do in the middle of a campaign.
Your double standard claim means less than nothing to me, but I do agree with you that my time and energy is better spent compliling fact to fight fiction and promoting my candidate to the best of my ability, in a thoughtful, intelligent and credible manner. See ya back at the board, Get Smart. Would look forward to engaging you in a real political debate on issues, etc, should you feel so inclined.
But why is this stuff seemingly petty to Americans?
nm
Petty bickering about stuff from 16 years ago
Pardon the pun here, but we have bigger fish to fry....much bigger fish. Rahm has all the qualities that a chief of staff needs and if you don't like his personality, oh well. What is obvious here is that you are making judgments WAY too prematurely. One person does not a trend make. The undertones of your post are juvenile and you sound like a smart alek. If you rarely read or post on this board, then why don't you just drive on by and keep on going? We could probably get along just fine without your input.
That's a pretty petty thing to be bugging you.

Ann is a biterr and jealous petty little witch.
x
like the left doesn't know anything about petty snipes
if the woman can't count, she can't count. so what
Petty or not, going on a date with taxpayer money
nm
Yeah, but they all count, no matter how petty the reason....
and that goes for both sides...sigh.
That kind of attitude makes you sound jealous and petty..
I'm sorry if you are offended by my opinion that I don't want to pay more in taxes. You wouldn't either if the tables were turned.
Pathetic, isn't it?
They want TOTAL control over when we're born, who we love, which God we worship, when we die, and now they want to control what we're allowed to think is funny. Soon, they'll want a mandatory chip to be implanted in every American who doesn't agree with them in order to whip us into submission.
How pathetic....sm
That's laughable.
Next you're going to spin it that republicana framed the son of the democrat congressman that hacked into her email.
Good grief!!!
Pathetic.

joy is pathetic

There is nothing pathetic about
the human instinct of survival. They've been sold up the river 9 ways to Sunday over the past 6 decades in those so-called peace initiatives, lied to continuously by Israel and western peace brokers, occupied, controlled, invaded, their country shrunken and cut to shreds, starved, held hostage, demonized and dehumanized by their hostile, blood-thirsty captors. THAT is pathetic. Expecting an occupied population that has been subjected to this kind of cruelty to fall in line and behave intelligently, rationally or logically is also pathetic, and pretty STUPID, if you ask me.
You know how the saying goes. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you torture an entire population of people over this extended period of time, don't you think it is a bit, shall we say, PATHOLOGIC to expect anything less than violence, contempt, determination and resolve to destroy the perpetrators in return?
It's not your genocidal military whose notice they seek. The whole world is watching your barbaric nation do what it does best...Goliath bullies David into submission, leaving their killing fields soaked with rivers of fresh blood and scattered with human remains, buried under the rubble of countless bombed-out, shell-shocked buildings and whole neighborhoods laid flat in their dust. Lebanon is still pretty fresh in their memories.
The Palestinians know full well the sacrifices they have to make. God knows, they have been making them now for generations. But whether you are big enough to admit it or not, it is Israel who pays the ultimate price in this tragedy. Just like Bush squandered the whole world's sympathy in the wake of 9/11 by using it as an excuse to butcher and maim in the name of democracy as a cover for imperial conquest, Israel has spent all its compassion capital in the aftermath of the Holocaust to become one of the most reviled nations on the face of the earth. There is no effective way of dealing with that, my dear, at least not in your lifetime.
Despite Israel's best efforts, they have not been able to break Palestinian spirit of unity and/or national identity.
To Beyond pathetic
How fitting. You really didn't read the message. Looks like your one of the Obama cult worshippers. I didn't say happyness, joy, and hope creeps me out (in fact I didn't even use the word hope). I said the cult worshipping of Obama creeps me out. Think you really need to lay off the Kool-Aid and come back to earth.
Pathetic....(sm)
This is actually an old e-mail. It first came out not long after the election. So, here's my question. Does this refer to the millions of jobs lost during the previous administration or just those within the last 60+ days? Less than that if you count when the e-mail actually came out.
If you're going to go back and point fingers, at least point them in the right direction -- that would be towards the guy who not only lost jobs (and did nothing about it) but lives as well in a war that was completely unnecessary that did absolutely nothing but cost lives and run up the deficit. (Interesting that Bush didn't bother to put the cost of the wars on the balance sheet, by the way.)
This board has turned into an absolute repuke joke.
Pathetic!
I feel sorry for our country because of all the traitors residing here now...disguised as reporters.
LOL. So right... they are pathetic.
nm
Right back at you....it is just as pathetic that you...
as a group with that group bully mentality trying to bully the one opposition voice into submission, all the while preaching about individual rights. Please. You don't give a darn about individual rights. What a joke. Par for the course for left-wing do-as-we-say, not-as-we-do. Our way or the highway.
That was kind of pathetic.
I'm reminded daily on this board, how most democrats refuse to allow any opinion other than their own, without some form of negative name calling or put down.
Most of you dems are downright mean and nasty.
I thought you were the party of hope, change, love, and social equality for everyone.
Seems if one is republican or in the middle, leaning to the right, you have no rights at all, in you dems' minds.
Unbelievable.
Keep up the pathetic arguments. It does not help
nm
That's pathetic. (where's my hammer?)
Are you really THAT ignorant? I'm sorry for you. Pathetic.
That is just plain prejudiced.
Do you not understnd just how pathetic
Grasping at straws 10 days out will get you where?
The only one pathetic are people like yourself!
xx
Pathetic parrot. Get over yourself.
Your 'new government' is nothing more than Clinton 2.0
Obama sold you all a bill of goods. Change. Hooray. Only took a matter of weeks for him to admit that the only 'change' was ... well ... him. Well, duh, Sherlock. By his standards, even electing Daffy Duck would have been a 'change.' I kind of think the people were expecting a bit more.
But, yes, Dems, let's let Big Government 'fix' all our problems. Let's start by taking away the credit cards and zero-down home loans that all the lazy slackers were given to 'stimulate minority homeownership.'
Gee. That sure worked out well.
Can't wait to see what's next.
Maybe Michelle will put out a cook book - 1001 recipes for government cheese.
Embarrassing and Pathetic
This is only the second time that I have posted, and it is only out of dismay that I do so now. I am absolutely dumbfounded, shocked, amazed, and disgusted by the utter and complete
cluelessness, simplemindedness, closet racism, backwardness, and close-mindedness displayed in numerous messages on this board over the past few days. It is people like you who are truly the scary ones!! It is truly sad that at a time of crisis like this that we cannot come together. After eight years of Republicans having their way and making blunder after blunder, which has lead to this, why can't our new president be given the support, the respect, and the chance to move the country out of this mess?
It is amazing to me that as long as we were being lead by a president of utter incompetence, out of touch and completely wrong, that you were perfectly content. You were perfectly
content with our economy sinking, content with innocent men and women losing their lives fighting a war that should never have been fought, content with our educational system languishing, with millions of your fellow citizens losing their homes and losing their jobs, and content with the country being the joke of the world and the target of intense loathing and hatred.
Now that we have a president who actually has the intelligence to make informed decisions and is surrounding himself with people of equal intelligence, a person who is inclusive and
realizes that all of us need to succeed so that our country can succeed, a man who wants to restore our standing in the world, who cares about our children in the inner cities as well as our children in rural America, who understands that diplomacy matters much more than "tough" cowboy bluster, who embodies those "family values" that those very superior
conservative folks so love to talk about, a person who understands that a good education for ALL of our children makes our country better and more secure, a person who understands that our environment matters to our national security, NOW you have the nerve to be frightened. What
utter drivel!!
Some have had the nerve and the gall to compare him to Hitler. What ridiculous nonsense!! He is a positive, inspiring person who has allowed millions of children to dream and hope and imagine their future in a way that they did not before. Hitler he is not, and those statements are truly the dumbest, most asinine statements that I have ever read on this board. What stupidity and hate you are spewing!! He is black, big deal!! Get over it.
He is intelligent, compassionate, has great ideas, and is open to hearing others' viewpoints. He loves our country just as you say you do.
You should at least have the nerve to speak your truth, which is that you are afraid because he is black. In case you didn't know, there are millions of black people who are intelligent and bright, creative, hardworking, law abiding, family oriented, well spoken and articulate, and they too love our country just like you and just like our president.
I do wholeheartedly agree that God will protect us,. He will continue to protect our country from people outside our borders who wish to do us harm, as well as protect us from those within who let ignorance, hate, and bigotry cloud common sense and good judgment.
It is pretty sad and pathetic
that people are suffering daily and are losing hope and all our congress can do is pass bills full of pork for ignorant things like why pigs smell. It is pretty obvious to me why many people are participating in the tea parties. Obviously a lot of people have a problem with this. This isn't extremist behavior. This is telling our government to stop the crazy spending. This is just WAY out of hand. For people who don't get this....I just feel sorry for you. Obviously you would rather bankrupt the country and continue to praise Obama than to hold our government accountable for all the out of control spending that they are doing. You have no problem bringing up the amount of money Bush spent in 8 years but when it comes to facing reality about Obama and the amount he has spent in a few months and how it exceeds any spending Bush did....you turn a deaf ear and a blind eye. Double standards. I don't care who is doing the spending whether it be dems or pubs. We don't have any more.....both sides need to stop spending....PERIOD!
Not as pathetic as your interpretation of
Or do you think there are not extremists among the pro-life movement? (And before you start your usual rebuttal, I am not an Obama supporter, and no, I don't think all pro-lifers are extremists.)
I would call that a pathetic try....sm
The funny thing is that you are obviously soooo out of touch with the black community that you don't even have a clue how much of an insult your message is. I love it when people try to pretend to be black on a post, especially when done badly, because that's when you see true ignorance. And before you start proclaiming your "black-ness" and trying to be all indignant, you should realize that after that post, its quite obvious who and what you are, regardless of what you say. 
This poor little Sam person is really pathetic. (s/m)
It seems this person's whole identity & self-esteem revolves around monopolizing this little medical transcriptionists' politics forum. Seems like a waste of your time & energy. If you REALLY care so much about your views & your party, instead of wasting your words on an obscure little politics forum, why aren't you out volunteering for your candidates? Your 24/7 comebacks to nearly EVERY post on this board that disagrees with YOUR beliefs suggests that:
a) You have no job.
b) You do not sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom.
c) You absolutely CANNOT let a person with different ideas have the last word.
Therefore, it seems that you would be the ideal choice for ANY political party to be out canvassing your neighborhood, organizing fundraisers, distributing propaganda (um, I mean literature), etc. to support your candidate.
So the question is, if you are such a 'talented' and 'knowlegeable' political afficionado, why do you waste your time & energy here?
You should know. Obama sheep are pathetic.
nm
Pathetic, self-absorbed little housewife.
+
You people are really pathetic. You always attack
nm
You are wasting your breath on these pathetic
people. They have no life, or such miserable lives that they have all the time in the world to scour the Internet for more garbage to spout, so now this is what consumes their lives. How sad -- NOT! The people have spoken. If you're not happy with the outcome, then MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Maybe you can start a revolution somewhere else.
Pathetic is not wanting to know the truth
FOS back at you - whatever it means. I'm sure it's not nice.
I meant pathologic, not pathetic.

Pathetic witch hunts!
