McCain/Palin ???

You people from other countries want to know why some people say to "fear" this woman? If the U.S. is how people define freedom, I'm moving to Cuba. The U.S. is the land where hate crimes are seen as a normal part of daily living and your side winning in each issue can mean the difference between whether or not you can sleep safely at night. Fear is a big part of why some people vote. Sometimes I feel like the religious wars in the middle east are more sedate and peaceful than the political wars in the U.S.

P.S., Note how I don't call the United States by the term "America". This is not America, America covers everything from Canada down to Argentina. Somewhere along the years the people of the U.S. lost their brain power and came to think of our country exclusively as "America". Everytime I hear somebody talk about doing something bad about illegals from Mexico and then in the same breath they say the phrase "God bless America" it makes me sick to think how idiotic they sound. Using the term America to denote the U.S. makes us sound like a bunch of uneducated morons.

Just wondered if you'd packed your bags yet b/c with all the people that are swamping/swarming into this country illegally, I bet someone would LOVE to have YOUR spot.

Shai,

OF course you got something out of this thread.

It makes you want to find out more about the election.

I had to laugh about the ideas where people won't vote for XXXXX because they DO/DON'T --------

When we pick friend, GF or BF we are more than likely to forgive the fact that they snore, don't dance, don't pull down the toilet seat, hog the remote, gossip, drive too fast or ????????

We are so much more tolerant about someone we live/associate with, but we get to be so intolerant about some sap that will never ever come to your house and ask you, "What's the matter, friend?"


I like the fact that people say, "I'll vote for the lesser of two evils" -Ever try to look at what makes a person shine? I like the fact that BO is a trailblazer for the Dems. It takes a concerted effort to run for President. After that, when I scratch his surface? Nope, He doesn't show me anything. His pomposity and slickness make me wonder about who he really is. His wife gives me the heebee jeebies-talk about hard looking woman/eyes. She's a career hardarse. THat is a soul-less vessel right there. BO does have the gift of gab.

But I don't read no goobledy-gook, Boyee!!!!

I am sorry, but I can't support anyone that I can't believe in.


JM? He's like the old uncle that lives down the street. You know he's related to you and he fought in a war and then?????? You kinda know about what he is about because he's been there so long you can ignore him.

The lesser of two evils? Probably, but he's an evil you know and know where he lives!

Keep thinking and don't believe anything you see.

Feel it and know what it does.

LOL! Richard you take this thread in many directions and I just had to tell you that this comment hit very close to home. My hubby does all of the above except gossip. Do you have wires hidden in my house?

Staci, I am glad you joined in the discussion. You make many good points as most of the people in this thread have. Just ignore the ones that are rude. I think that is why this thread has remained so civil and interesting. It's going to be a wild ride folks. 60+ days and counting!

OH, you are ratting out you hubby for his foibles and WHICH anniversary is coming up?


BTW, it's a camera and I won't tell you what he does when you are out of the room.

For me it's 'good dicussion' time. When I'd get stuck in a problem or friendly arguement I always tried to put it into a simple frame of reference.

It softens the passion in the idea and makes you realize that it's the same situation, without the harsh points.


------------

Two men walked into the bathroom. As the first one approached the urinal he noticed a five dollar bill at the bottom, he stopped and reached for his wallet.

The second man asked him what he was doing. The first one pointed and said, "Look! There's a fiver in the urinal!" with that,he reached into the wallet, pulled out a 20 and threw it down next to the other bill.

He squatted down and pulled both from the water at the bottom of the fixture.

The second man recoiled in horror and said, "Why did you do THAT?"

The first man, holding the wet bills by the corner answered, "Do you think I'd stick my hand down there for just a five dollar bill?"

You can put money into the toilet, just don't pull the handle?

Biden is a very modest man.

I don't think that he'll mention his time in the service. Patriots never brag.
