In Reply to: Maybe gourdpainter did not, but you and JTBB slam - people all the time. -dont be hypocritical at leas
I am much too blunt and impulsive to be hypocritical, my answers come fast.
Do you even know what 'hypocritical' means, or are you just repeating and throwing words around you hear?
If you do not have anything intelligent to contribute to a post, just 'skip' it and move on, best to the Comedy board.

that is so hypocritical!
Do you not think that everyone who voted for McCain got sick and tired of hearing negative posts? I mean come on already, get over it! The thing that gets me is that anytime someone says ANYTHING they get slammed by O supporters. O supporters cannot handle controversy at all. I mean, look above for example. I said I did not like O stating that he would REQUIRE community service. Now all of a sudden people feel sorry for me and my kids because we hate community service. HAHAHAHAHHA. Talk about stretching what someone posted. You guys totally took one issue and turned it into another, one that I wasnt even talking about. Crack me up! No one wants to address the fact that his website said it would be REQUIRED, they just want to talk about how I hate community service. Talk about deflecting the issue.
Actually, I don't see it as hypocritical
The majority of those in favor of gay marriage are more likely the children of the free-love era (mid 30s and under). Although, surprisingly, the over 60s with a college education are also among the highest proponents of gay marriage, who may actually be the hippies on college campuses of yesteryear.
Taking it at face value, I don't really see that it is hypocritical. The 'hippies' wanted the right to determine their own relationship and felt that marriage was unnecessary. If you were to poll them, I wager their feelings have not changed on that...to them, to marry or not to marry was and is a matter of choice, which is a choice they feel should also be extended to gay couples.
It's all so much hypocritical whining.
Gee, how much did we wish that people would just lay off a little and let Clinton's private matters stay private for the sake of his family and the nation as a whole.
But NOOOOO, that wouldn't do, would it? The avid glee in exposing his most painful and regrettable bad judgment was the talk of Bushtown, they just HAD to smear it in all our faces and stuff it down our throats ad nauseum - no mercy there, no letting up, no quarter. Vultures.
Now look how they act when people speculate about a former alcoholic and coke blower possibly returning to the habit/s during a time of extreme stress - which is not even a ridculous thing to contemplate, God knows we all know someone who has been caught in this trap. If this is the case it's unfortunate for him, but the point is, it really DOES vitally affect our nation if it's true.
I'm afraid the right handed away its right to credibility on calling for compassion for the personal dignity of the chief executive. You had a chance to show some when the matter DIDN'T affect our nation's security, and you simply blew it big time.
In any case I think it's safe to say that should Bush be tipping a few, he's going to get far better treatment from sympathetic Americans both Republican AND Democrat than his predecessor did for his particular indulgences.
Doesn't seem hypocritical to me. s/m
I SAID I believe abortion equals murder. I believe murder in any form is wrong but I would say that many people don't agree with me or there wouldn't be so many murders. There was a murder on a college campus in Conway, AR yesterday. Obviously if the perps thought it was "wrong" they wouldn't have done it. I also believe that if a person lies, they will also steal and if they will steal they would commit murder. I try not to be judgmental of others. Abortion is, I believe, something that is between the woman and God and I would not presume to speak for God. I figure I've done enough wrong in my own life that I don't need to be passing judgment on ANYONE for ANYTHING. Sort of like taking the log out of my own eye so I can see clearly to remove the speck of dust from my brother's/sister's eye.
As Kendra and I both admitted, we like to argue so hop on in here and argue with us. LOL Sometimes arguing causes people to actually think, something all of us need to be do. It just gets so old with all of the old Obama trash being repeated over and over and over. Something new or proof of all the old stuff I would like to see.
You have a good day too, Sam.
Pretty hypocritical
that you can't thank one without smearing the other.
Okay, fine. That is hypocritical
nm
Hypocritical, aren't you? Because you would

HYPOCRITICAL is what I meant.

What a hypocritical tyrade....
On one hand you yammer on abuot how no one has to "associate" with homosexuals if they don't want to but on other posts about schools wanting to push the homosexual agenda down the throats of students in school, you didn't seem to have a problem with that.
Like many of us know, you just want you cake and eat it too and this has nothing to do with "rights" but just getting your way.
Why aren't you as concerned about the rights of a child and leaving it up to their parents to teach them what they believe to be right? What a hypocrit!!
Your post was well written but hypocritical.
You admonish us to come together while in the same paragraph stating Republicans are to blame for everything gone wrong in the last 8 years. You speak of cluelessness, simplemindedness, backwardness, etc. etc. etc., insulting the past administration and anyone supportive of it while proclaiming the virtues of a man whose potential and abilities have not yet been proven. Your post is insulting, opinionated and presumptious, yet you are bewildered and dismayed by those not joining you on the Obama-idolizing bandwagon.
How dare you reduce this to an accusation of racial prejudice? How is such an assumption not hateful in itself?
It is precisely this kind of holier-than-thou attitude that creates and perpetuates devisivenss in the world!
What about the life of the raped woman,,,you are hypocritical freaks!...nm
nm
I find it far more hypocritical that Islam preaches as the religion of peace. sm
But then, that's just me.
Stop you evil propaganda, you're just lowering yourself to all those hypocritical evangelicals!
It's obvious your mind is already made up, so please do not force yours on us who do not agree with you one bit. If you're trying to make the rest of us swing in your direction by writing this litany of pettyness and sillyness, you're wrong. John McCain is passé...gone, okay? If I hear him talk about his military service and his tortures one more time, I'm going to puke! This is 2008, the war in Vietnam is long over and the U.S. had to get out. The Russians were in Aghanistan for ten years and had to get out with millions of their soldiers dead. This is an unwinnable war, why smarty pants can't you understand that? And Palin....oh please! She's a controller freak, she'll be running McCain if he's elected! We don't want neither one of them and you will see why come November 4th. We will not put up with four more years of aq Bush.......he's screwed up the country so bad in every way possible! Now everyone hates americans thanks to your current president. He's a Clint Eastwood in disguise. The axis of evil is America, and not the countries Bush loves to denigrade. So stop your propaganda against Barack, he's a breath of fresh air which we all long for. Biden did a lot more than McCain did in Congress. We don't need a novice from Alaska that's for sure. I'm Canadian and up here, it's democrat all the way. I suppose Palin can see the Yukon from her bedroom now? Bush will go down as the worst President the U.S. has ever had. No wonder you're all so scared and nervous about terrorists....he dared them and challendged and now they hate his guts. Let's get Barack in there and start negotiating, communicating and get the world on you side once again, like it used to be. So don't give me your crap about Barack or Joe. Bet you don't even know where Khandahar is! So stop your propaganda and keep your hateful thoughts to yourself!

ABC: Obama Is Hypocritical For Limiting Wall Street Pay While Having A ‘Lavish Lifest
Yesterday, President Obama instituted a pay cap on bailed out businesses after it was revealed that Wall Street doled out an estimated $18.4 billion in bonuses last year. “If the taxpayers are helping you, then you’ve got certain responsibilities to not be living high on the hog,” he explained.
In what appears to be an attempt to call Obama a hypocrite, ABC’s Scott Mayerowitz “reports” today that the President also has a “lavish lifestyle.” Under the title: “Obama’s Perks: Private Jet, Chef Tax-Free,” ABC notes that Obama earns $400,000 dollars a year and even has a private jet:
The president makes $400,000 a year, but hasn’t received a raise from Congress since 2001. He also gets a $50,000 annual entertainment expense account (any unused money at the end of the year must go back to the Treasury.)
Then there is the use of two private jets, Boeing 747s better known as Air Force One. And of course the constant security details, drivers, a private chef, a country vacation estate and the rent-free use of a well-known, 132-room mansion called the White House. The president also used to have a yacht, until Jimmy Carter sold it.
As its evidence that “corporate America” is upset, ABC said that “some Wall Street bloggers” are angry with the compensation cap. But the article cited only one blogger, Dealbreaker.com, who — apparently poking fun at Sen. Claire McCaskill’s statement — remarked, “Some accountability needs to be put in place. We won’t have them kicking sand in the face of taxpayers any longer.” Dealbreaker.com also suggests charging rent for White House tenants.
Comparing the President to Wall Street CEOs is absurd. The “private jet” that Obama uses is Air Force One, which is used as a security precaution and necessary for the dozens of staff and press that accompany the President on every trip. Each use of the jet by the President is regarded as a “classified military operation” in order to ensure the President’s safety.
Furthermore, Obama’s salary is set by Congress (whose members are elected by the public). CEO compensation is decided internally within the company, usually by its board of directors. The problem with recent excessive CEO compensation was that executives receiving federal funds were still rewarded for failure with tens of millions of dollars from their companies.
The President, on the other hand, does not get a bonus for his performance, good or bad. Indeed, Presidents Bush and Obama earn the same salary. County Fair at Media Matters has more.
Good don't guess. It's my guess though.nm

My guess would be
THREE!
guess what
Now you know how it feels, don't you?
That's anybody's guess. sm
But I think it is an educated guess to think most democratic voters in this election were against the war and most republican voters were for the war. Just my guess.
I guess your'e in the 39%
Bush approval rating dips to 39 percent - poll
Wed Oct 12, 9:47 PM ET
President George W. Bush's job approval rating has fallen to a new low of 39 percent in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday.
Bush's approval rating dipped in the poll below a mid-September ranking of 40 percent. The survey also found only 28 percent of respondents believed the country was headed in the right direction, NBC reported.
Bush's political challenges have been piling up in recent weeks, from criticism over his handling of Hurricane Katrina, to growing unease over rising gas prices to conservative discord over the nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Many conservatives are outraged that Bush picked the White House insider with no judicial experience instead of a judge with clear-cut conservative credentials who could be counted on to move the high court firmly to the right.
Twenty-nine percent of people surveyed said Miers was qualified to serve on the highest court in the United States, while 24 percent thought she was not qualified and 46 percent said they did not know enough about her, NBC said.
The poll also found that strong majorities did not believe that recent charges against former House Republican leader Tom DeLay of Texas or a federal investigation of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican, were politically motivated, NBC said.
DeLay has been indicted in Texas on money-laundering and conspiracy charges linked to campaign financing. Frist is being investigated over a stock sale.
With the 2006 congressional elections a year away, 48 percent of respondents said they preferred a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with 39 percent who said they preferred Republican leadership, NBC said.
The 9-point difference was the largest margin between the parties in the 11 years the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had been tracking the question, NBC said.
The poll of 807 adults was conducted from Saturday to Monday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points
where are you? I guess some way
from Houston, too close to it myself! you are right about the crime wave, up just about everywhere. have your kids told you what Sugarland and Ft. Bend County are like now?
Anyway, nobody is going to hire a medical Transcriptionist with 143 days experience on her resume and I don't feel inclined to hire a president with that, either.
Immigration is not the problem; invasion is, lawbreakers are a problem. We just had a pastor on TV in Houston who has had 5 wrecks, all caused by uninsured motorists and that is the least of it. I personally have seen what is happening to our ER's, unfortunately, the media says little about it. I understand 87 hospitals in southern California have folded. No private hospital can withstand the onslaught of all this clinic business. But, of course, the actual clinics designed for this are only open during regular business hours. Well, just a few thoughts of mine.
To Guess Who?
Sam,
Here, here! Couldn't have said it better myself! We ALL have our own personal experiences with illegals. Where is the mention of all the illegals that come here with drugs, and murder and rape our people?! Did I mention the pedophiles?! Just watch the news and it's all over the place! Just yesterday, they were talking about an illegal from Mexico in SanFrancisco that killed a father and his 2 boys, over a traffic incident!!!??? He was part of a gang! He previously was in trouble with the law before, and nothing was done! Now 3 people are dead, and a wife and 2 other children are forever torn apart by this low-life piece of sh*T that couldn't care LESS about life, liberty, and the pursuit!!!! Same story just a few months ago in LA. Another gang member (illegal) shot a young teen and he is now dead! These are just 2 of the MANY stories out there! Even the people that are coming here "for a better life", I can understand that. What I don't understand is them coming here and getting FREE medical, FREE housing, etc. etc. etc.... Why the hell are THEY entitled, but we, as natural-born citizens are not, because we may "make too much money?!" My dad is 62 years old, and probably will work till the day he dies, because he isn't "entitled" to any of this, he doesn't have savings or 401K to fall back on. My husband busts his butt, and pays a LOT of $ every month so that we all have medical, why? so they can come here and drop a kid for free, at the expense of OUR tax dollars?! BS!!! You wanna come here, fine! Then WORK for your OWN medical, housing, food, etc. etc.! I agree with the above, as for the lawbreakers, molesters, murderers, gang-bangers, let them all rot on an island together! And don't come here and wave your Mexican flag, or any other flag for that matter! If you went to other countries with your American flag, you would most likely be shot!
So please, Guess Who, get a grip and a life!
To everyone else, have a lovely day!
Guess what?! At 17, you should not
be having sex! Duh! My mother started working outside the home when I was 12. She gave me VALUES of responsibility, of self-respect, and the consequences of my actions. I never had to be told not to have premarital sex. Unreal! If this stuff was coming out about Chelsey Clinton, you all would be all over it! What a meltdown!
You must be, I guess....nm

THough I guess they won't be able to use them...
if we have two women running next time...lol. Guess I can put a big red X through "him" and write on "her." lol.
Well, then I guess I have a very
simple view of politics. I would think that if a bad bill is being put on the table, that enough politicians will see that it is bad and will vote against it, i.e. the bailout bill.
I guess that's just too simple. Agree to disagree.
I guess we will have to.............. sm
learn to say "Do you want fries with that?"
I'd say LOL if it weren't such a scary prospect.
Nothing to guess about. s/m
They'll be crying about their bottom line profit which they will pass down to consumers and they'll lay everyone off so they can send the jobs overseas. No guess about it. Then they'll cry some more when no one has any money to buy their overpriced stuff.
Well, guess I can guess! what it says.
We had several Cubans come over here back in the late 60's, all close friends, one a doctor who warned all of us then where medicine was going and he was right on the money. They fled Cuba for their lives at the time. I am watching my country unravel and there is not a dang thing I can do about it outside of this one vote.
My guess is...and only a guess....
because SS is in such pitiful shape now, this will take the place of it for those of us still working...while we continue to pay for those who are on social security NOW (with our payroll taxes) because in a congress in times past Democrats decided to "borrow" from social security and never paid it back. Liberal socialist ideas NEVER work. And people keep voting them in anyway and blaming it on Republicans. LOL. Like mice on a treadmill. Sigh.
Well, then, I guess we should
keep the 10 Commandments in church too. Then we could just go around raping, killing, stealing, lying, whatever we felt like doing. I believe 76 some odd percent of the U.S. describes their religion as Christianity. We let Madeline O'Hair or whatever her name is take away prayer in schools, etc. etc. I am sick to death of this p.c. stuff. If someone wants to be an atheist or muslim or what the heckfire ever, let 'em be. If they don't want to participate with the MAJORITY then I don't know of any law that makes them.
Guess who said this
"we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."
The New Yorker Magazine
This is not an opinion, simply a quote.
My guess would be..............sm
just like the rest of the sheeple, they have been duped into believing this man will turn the economy around with his smoke-and-mirrors approach to healing the financial condition of this country, which in turn benefits them as the money is redistributed back up to the top. Who do you think will ultimately benefit from Obmama's plan. That's right..the rich...as the lower and middle class have more disposable income, the money will trickle right back up to the top.
my guess is a lot of them
x
I guess a lot of them
Question: I would like to know who "them" are?
Well, I guess you don't but
at least if you see it alive you know if it is sick. I posted earlier about chickens. I promise you if you ever saw the LIVE chickens loaded in the crates on the truck headed for the slaughter house you would NEVER EVER eat another chicken And that's a pretty site compared to the inside of a 500 foot chicken house where hundreds of chickens are raised never seeing the sunlight and standing toe to toe in their own excrement. Well.....get the picture? But by the time they get to the grocery store all neatly packaged...........want me to tell you where they get the cut up chickens, breasts, thighs, legs, wings? No? I didn't think so.
I guess it's okay then............sm
especially in light of the fact they were serving coffee! LOL
guess not................sm
ms, but I guess we will all get a bowl of that ice cream now.
I think she did just guess also (sm)
I know she had been reading some articles in political magazines about him, not Muslim magazines. So that part probably should not have even been mentioned in my post, as I think it had nothing to do with it. She is not Muslim. She is not religious at all I don't think. She was a coworker I enjoyed talking with but since I went back home to work I haven't talked to her much so have not discussed it with her recently. She and her husband consider themselves African-American although she is a mixed race. So she may have been following his progress because of that, not sure.
Then I guess you can....... sm
take it up with God when you see Him. This kind of reasoning is so in line with the "me, me, me" greedy society that we have now. And as far as adopted children....I know quite a few who view their adoptive parents, the ones who loved them and provided for them, as their "real" parents rather than the biologic parent and have no desire whatsoever to meet the biologic parent. And I am sure they are thankful that the biologic parent didn't take the easy way out for herself and deny them the right to life.
My guess is that they don't like him because he is ...
BLACK!
Let me guess....(sm)
Since you call yourself FeFiFo, your last name must be Fum? Or is it Pfffffft? I know you use that as a sign off a lot. Doesn't sound Jewish at all to me. LOL. First of all, *sm* is not a moniker; it simply means *see message.* And so what if he/she doesn't use a moniker?
Using a moniker isn't cowardly, it's protecting one's identity....that is unless you want to be considered cowardly as well since you do the same thing.
Try sticking to the subject for a while. *SM* (assuming it's the same person throughout this thread) has brought up some very interesting ideas concerning the situation, and yet the only response you have to these ideas (the other side) as well as mine (basically just backing up *SM*) is to call us ignorant. I thought this was a board for discussion, not a board for the 4-year-old *it's mine -- no it's mine* tantrum you seem to want to throw.
I guess that's no better than
Those first exects that got the bailouts and went to the resorts and spent $$$$$$$ at the spas.
I loved the replies to the ad. I say no more bailouts for anyone. NONE, NADA, ZIP. After seeing what these "people" do with the bailout money makes me sick. And the fact that nobody in congress questions it or takes the money back makes me even sicker. Congress should find out what they spent on that ad and demand they return that money or else find themselves in a nice little 8x8 room (metal bars not optional).
You got it - I guess
I'm with you. I don't understand it. This is a guy, a man, a human being. He doesn't have any supernatural powers, unless you call hyptnotizing people into trances.
But it is all the celebrity status. Most people believe that if a celebrity movie start says he's great then they must be right. People worship celebrity stars so why wouldn't they worship obama.
It's just beyond me their reasoning, but at least I know I've got some sense because I don't follow their reasoning and think for myself.
It's just very hard to educate people now adays. Especially after they've been brainwashed so much.
Well....I guess it is our job to
research and find out who voted for what and wanted what speciality added to the stimulus and when we get the chance......VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE! If we start holding them accountable and voting them out for their bad decisions, maybe these politicians will think twice before they screw their constituents up the rear.
This whole thing disgusts me. Here we are talking about our economy and the need to stimulate it and all some in government care about is getting free stuff for them. We want new furniture. Hey...let's all set a good example for the environment and charge new hybrid vehicles for the government to the tax payers. Correct me if I'm wrong.....don't they make enough money to buy their own hybrid cars if that is what they want?
I'm seriously considering the whole trip to DC with my torch and pitchfork. I'm getting VERY irritated with our government. If this so called stimulus package passes, I will be taking a trip. That is all I've got to say.
My guess is that...(sm)
she couldn't answer O'Reilly's questions because he wouldn't shut up long enough for her to get it out. That's how it always works on his show. I really don't see the point of anyone going on his show. He doesn't interview people, he just screams out his right wing crazy crap. It's like watching Jerry Springer.
The no spin zone ---- Good for right wing books, screaming matches, and, of course, door mats.
Let me guess...(sm)
You're going with the back-peddling New York Post excuse that that's supposed to be Pelosi? Give me a break!
If they, and you, are going to be racist, you should at least have the balls to admit it. --- Pitiful.
this is not a guess
Which thing is a fact?
a. That Iran has, at this moment, long-range missiles aimed at our heartland?
b. That Iran has some uranium that could be used, years and years from now, for nuclear weapons, if nobody ever bothered negotiating with them and everybody treated them like dangerous lunatics?
The facts point to one option (and in fact the NYT article covered some of this), but the slant and the propanda lead, as always, to the other one.
I don't have any rose-colored glasses. What I have is the knowledge that our government has lied over and over to get us into war, that newspapers and TV have accepted and regurgitated those lies, and that those lies have repercussions far beyond what the news is willing to report. At some point we've got to stop listening to people we know are dishonest, saying exactly the things we JUST HEARD A FEW YEARS AGO to send us to war with Iraq.
Of course, the next step will be a humanitarian crisis, as we discover the Iranian government is killing some people we never cared about before, but that now provide a convenient excuse for us to get even madder! (Kurds, could you move over a bit?)
Let me guess...(sm)
You also can't "grasp the idea" that there are people in this country who are starving, or people who are losing their homes because of medical bills, or younger people who are simply struggling for everything, or people who are paying through the nose to get their kids through college, and yes, actually have to put off for a few days buying some things. You really need to open your eyes. There are people in this country who cannot afford the finer things in life. We have 2 jobs and work overtime but we can't afford vacations most the time, certainly cannot save 600 a month, etc. Let me define "snooty" for you: The act of looking down one's nose and condemning those who are not as fortunate (or lucky) as oneself. I personally would have chosen a different word.
I wouldn't stay in that glass house too long if I were you. Someone might come by with a rock.
That's my guess too..nm
nm
So I guess
you would rather have the crack skanks giving birth? Wow, how nice! You're a loser, go away.
My guess is they were sm
screaming for someone to do something, talking about patriotism, etc. Problem is how soon they forget. Now this country is less protected, I think, than it has ever been. Wait til the next attack and see what the "left" screams about then! Obama doesn't have a clue how to protect this country
