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.

It sounds like the post hit a nerve with you
Well you evidently didn't read my post. I already said I look forward to hearing the O's plans and him putting into place everything he promised he would. Our country is in "the dog house" for lack of better words and we need solutions to make our country great. That is what we are looking to the O for. So why do you think that is hitting a nerve? Some of us do get over things and look towards the future on how our country can become a great nation again. Not focusing on the past and unimportant issues like whether or not there is a wedding in the family of Sarah and Todd Palin.
You just don't like that you are called out on the malicious digs that keep spreading about Palin's daughter.
As for rebutting O's lies. My oh my, never do have any time to talk about what really matters. Just want to trash one side while praising and ignoring what's going on in the other side.
I see you also did not read my message because I specifically stated in there they still plan to get married next summer. How do you possibly even equate this with being "convenient". Whether she married someone earlier or later has no effect on how people voted. You surely can't believe that! People who were interested in what McCain/Palin's issues/plans and Obama/Biden's issues/plans certainly could care less with whether her daughter was going to get married. If you are so concerned with what she said about her daughter getting married then what about Obama telling everyone during the campaign that his daughters will go to to a public school and now they are not.
You'll sure bash one side and refuse to discuss issues on the other side.
As for destroying Palin's life...you surely must have been asleep during the entire campaign. Let's see...there is MSNBC, Olberman, Maddow, Matthews, Katie Curic (sp?), CBS, Gibson, Lorne Michaels, CNN, etc, etc, etc. I would not spew the "unqualified" issue around until you take a good look at the O. Everyone knows it? Maybe in your mind. The last time I looked 59,934,814 people believe she is qualified. Those same people believe the O is not.
Yeah you have a nice day there too!
hey republicans, did it hit a nerve?
For the post of failure=bush to have gotten such a response, IMHAO makes me think we have hit a nerve, LMFAO. If it meant nothing because they thought their leader was so righteous, so smart, so dang right in his policies, they would have dismissed the post about failure=bush..When you protest so loudly, you prove we are right and it irks you..sigh..too bad..
This teacher has her nerve.
1. Graduate from high school.
Good, I agree.
2. Get a job - keep it, no matter how much money.
So she would have her students stay at McDonalds the rest of their lives, no matter how much money they make. Don't strive for anything more (ya know, some older people have this mindset).
3. Never have a baby out of wedlock.
This makes me a bad person.
4. Get married and stay married.
I hope she explained to them not to stay in an abusive relationship just for the sake of staying married.
Aside from #1, these are definitely not things that you want to have drilled into a 7th graders mind.
Definitely don't stop at the principal, they back up the teachers in most cases. BTDT.
Must have hit a nerve. Good on you. nm
The nerve? GT you are so full of it. sm
Take a good long look at page one of the Conservative board. Tell me you see no postings of an inflammatory nature by liberals. If you did, you would be lying.
It seems I touched a nerve ~
Healthcare reform is a much debated subject. We, the great people of the United States, should adopt the attitude that we can set higher benchmarks in the area of healthcare. Wouldn't that be something to be proud of? The great difference between the liberal and conservative stance on healthcare is that we liberals view it as a human issue whereas the conservatives view it as a business. Who is right and who is wrong? Depends on your personal point of view. I am certainly not trying to change anyone's fundamental way of thinking, I only want to people to start talking about, researching it, talking to your friends, your neighbors, your family, your doctor, your representatives, and make up your own mind about to make a reality. I am not endorsing any particular or single proposal that is currently on the table and I am certainly not attacking anyone in particular.
What's a matter, did I hit a nerve?
Maybe you should put a disclaimer on your posts to make it clear that you are just playing and dreaming.
LOL, STRUCK A NERVE!!!
I KNEW that was you!!! You may have changed your posting style a bit but, yep, you're that 'I'm NOT INDIAN, I'M EUROPEAN!' person. I won't even say MT, cuz I'm still not convinced you are in fact at MT with your horrid grammar.
Hehehehehehe, flame me all you want, chica...I KNOW this is you now!!!
ROFL! Strike a nerve, did I??????
I'm one of the happiest people you'd ever want to meet.
I just have zero tolerance and respect for people who exploit God and Jesus to further their own angry, hateful, lying platforms.
I was brought up to believe that God and Jesus represent love and peace and truth. There is nothing about you or any of your posts that reflects those concepts.
I pray that you get help for the obvious anger, rage and hate and your total and absolute lack of ability to be straightforward and honest. Instead, you seem to get much pleasure from stomping people into the ground and degrading them. Poor you.
Maybe you're someone who used to have a life, but now you can't even afford to put gas in your car any more. Maybe you're someone who used to be middle class but woke up one morning to find that your class is sinking (socioeconomic class, not your other obvious class deficiencies in how you treat people). Maybe you can no longer afford to see your psychiatrist and/or take your antipsychotic medication due to the terrible state of America's healthcare system today. Maybe you used to get out of the house on weekends, but instead now you're forced to stay home because you can't afford to put gas in your car any more, and you're angry and need to take it out on someone, so you come here and flame liberals, instead of blaming the president that is running this country into the ground. But then you'd have to admit you were wrong for supporting him, and just like him, you can't admit you were wrong, right?
Either way, please try to get some help before your anger and rage consumes you any further and you wind up hurting yourself or someone else. Perhaps I'm making it worse by confusing and angering you with the truth. Perhaps it's best for us all if I don't respond to your attention-seeking any longer.
I certainly will pray for you, dear. Please get help, and have a nice evening.
You have a lot of nerve assuming these women
xoxoxo
You got a lotta nerve being so self-righteous

You people really have nerve - see message
A very nasty post by a liberal who is intent on having the country socialized. You people really have your nerve saying its always the conservatives that post the negative posts and how hateful we are. You know what...I've read every single post on this board. The two worst are this one and the one that says all pubs should be "rounded up and shipped off". You are the most hate-filled people it just oozes out of your revulsing posts.
You are such a biggot with you're "if you don't vote for Obama your a racist". attitute. That in itself is racist. Do you think Obama is out there saying vote for me cos I'm black. NO, he has been trying to get this off of race but you and other posters continue to try and make it about race when it isn't. Why? Do you think spreading fear is the answer? What's next, are you going to threaten that if a black man doesn't get in you'll what, you'll riot???
I am plenty happy with the debate last night. Whether you believe Obama or McCain won is simply your belief. If you think sitting and staring at the camera while lying through your teeth to us is a "winner". If you think not answering the questions posed about your immoral affiliations is a "winner". If you think snearing and snickering at everything your oponent has to say is a "winner". If you think talking in circles while not saying anything is a "winner". Then I'd say you've got an odd perception of winning.
To post a blatently hate-filled post calling people who don't agree with you "dippy" and in the same breath say we are haters and racists with the "my man won" statement just shows us what ignor@nce is.
I don't believe either "won". The last debate I believe Obama won, but this debate I do not believe anyone won. They went to tell people what their plans and policies are and what they can do for the country. If you choose to vote for someone who is a slick lawyer and will tell you they "feel your pain", while they are turning the knife in your back. Someone who knows nothing about foreign policies. Someone who associates and accepts money from terrorists, someone who believes in lying and cheating at all costs to win. Someone with the associations that Obama does then you don't live in the same country I believe in and you really need to move to Cuba, North Korea or other socialist run countries and I believe you will be perfectly happy there.
So for all the Obama lovers you will never see reason. You already had in your minds before the debate even began that Obama had won. Last night my husband and I were extremely happy with the debate. McCain came out and showed him what he's got. Yes, he got mad. It's not called "grouchy", it's called being mad that a slimy little lawyer worm will look at the american people and lie to their faces, except of course when he actually has a one-on-one conversation with someone and tells them he's going to take more money from them and give it to those who have nothing and will do nothing. Your okay with redistributing the wealth? Guess your one of the ones who will benefit from that and that's why you like that socialist plan. But then the coward laywer doesn't even have the decency to tell hundreds of people in a group he's going to redistribute all their wealth, because they need make too much money and they need to give it to Jose, Bob, Maria or Mary - the ones who won't go out and get a job and have some phony illness so they can sit on their you know what's watching Jerry Springer and soaps and keep receiving money for doing nothing. I know a lot of people like that who cheat the system to get something for nothing, then laugh and brag about it to their freinds in the pizza joint I go to. I wonder if that system was to go into effect how many people would quit their jobs so they too could get paid for not doing anything too.
McCain finally brought up Obama's shady affiliations. I believe he could have pounded him more, especially after Obama blantatly lied again about his affiliations. All I say is I believe John McCain did a fine job last night, and I wouldn't count your chickens before they are hatched. The election has not been held yet, and as hard as your party is trying to cheat and steal votes, I hope that the courts will do the right thing and investigate the fraud and abuse going on by the democratic party.
Mustard and Sarin Nerve Gas...
Hundreds of WMDs Found in Iraq
Thursday, June 22, 2006
WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.
"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.
Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."
US used mustard and nerve gas in Fallujah.

If you like, I can document a history of US use of these agents, starting with Viet Nam and moving forward. We supplied this junk to Iraq in the 1980s when we supported Saddam before we didn't.
I think I hit a nerve because you get caught in errors often
...if you want to succeed in this business
The very nerve!!! The utter gall!!!
Imagine McC hosting a dinner honoring Obama. NOT!
Man's IRS rant hits a nerve. sm
An article on a letter to the Editor of a newspaper making its rounds on the Internet.
http://www.suntimes.com/business/1467702,w-dear-irs-texas-barnett-taxes030909.article
Here is Mr. Barnett's letter:
Taxed to excess
Dear IRS,
I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t recall but I have run out of space and money.
When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

JTBB. you have the nerve to say OTHERS label?
There, I labeled you. You deserve it.
You just called me a bigot, and you have the nerve to complain
Chris was so tasteless and had the nerve to say he was trying to have dialouge...nm
I think the NYT has the right to publish any information that they can verify. If it is classified information that should not have been known to the public, the question is who leaked it?
I've heard the jist of the story but I need to read the NYT article.
whooo hooooo guess I touched a nerve there...
listen, friend. If someone posted something like that about one of Obama's children, I would be on here ragging them the same way! Candidates' children should not be fodder for the public. It is wrong and mean spirited to involve them...be it Obama, McCain, Biden, or any of the rest.
Obviously no one here did make it up, but several have tried to defend it and one did post it.
I try to avoid the KOS at all costs.
I have a life. I also have people I love. I feel terrible for Bristol Palin. What did she do to what daily kos printed? Like Bristol, admit the child is yours.
Again...if someone printed some rude innuendo about one of Obama's children I would be screaming about that just as loud.
Republicans have a lot of nerve calling Obama an elitist! (nm)
:O
You have the nerve to talk label Islam. Look at the so-called Christian
Robertson suggests God smote Sharon
Evangelist links Israeli leader's stroke to 'dividing God's land'
(CNN) -- Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed.
He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,' Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, The 700 Club.
God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,' he said.
Robertson's show airs on the ABC Family cable network and claims about 1 million viewers daily.
Sharon, 77, clung to life in a Jerusalem hospital Thursday after surgery to treat a severe stroke, his doctors said.
The prime minister, who withdrew Israeli settlers and troops from Gaza and parts of the West Bank last summer over heated objections from his own Likud Party, was breathing with the aid of a ventilator after doctors operated to stop the bleeding in his brain.
In Washington, President Bush offered praise for Sharon in a speech on Thursday.
We pray for his recovery, Bush said. He's a good man, a strong man. A man who cared deeply about the security of the Israeli people, and a man who had a vision for peace. May God bless him.
Daniel Ayalon, Israel's ambassador to the United States, compared Robertson's remarks to the overheated rhetoric of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. (Full story)
He called the comments outrageous and said they were not something to expect from any of our friends.
He is a great friend of Israel and a great friend of Prime Minister Sharon himself, so I am very surprised, Ayalon told CNN.
Robertson, 75, founded the Christian Coalition and in 1988 failed in a bid for the Republican presidential nomination. He last stirred controversy in August, when he called for the assassination of Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez. (Full story)
Robertson later apologized, but still compared Chavez to Hitler and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in the process.
The same month, the Anti-Defamation League criticized Robertson for warning that God would bring judgment against Israel for its withdrawal from Gaza, which it had occupied since the 1967 Mideast war.
Robertson said Thursday that Sharon was a very likable person, and I am sad to see him in this condition.
He linked Sharon's health problems to the 1995 assassination of Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin, who signed the Oslo peace accords that granted limited self-rule to Palestinians.
It was a terrible thing that happened, but nevertheless, now he's dead, Robertson said.
Rabin was gunned down by a religious student opposed to the Oslo accords. The killer, Yigal Amir, admitted to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison.
Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, criticized Robertson's comments Thursday, saying the televangelist has a political agenda for the entire world.
He seems to think God is ready to take out any world leader who stands in the way of that agenda, Lynn said in a written statement.
A religious leader should not be making callous political points while a man is struggling for his life, he said. I'm appalled.
Ralph Neas, president of liberal advocacy group People for the American Way, said it is astonishing that Pat Robertson still wields substantial influence in the Republican Party.
Once again, Pat Robertson leaves us speechless with his insensitivity and arrogance, Neas said in a written statement.
According to The Associated Press, Robertson spokeswoman Angell Watts said of people who criticized the comments: What they're basically saying is, 'How dare Pat Robertson quote the Bible?'
This is what the word of God says, Watts told the AP. This is nothing new to the Christian community.
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

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**
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 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.
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.
