the presidential debates

[mugsy]

No problem....I aim to please!!

Don't let PT ruin your day. I did it for too long....trust me....there are bigger things to worry about!! lol

I agree people shouldn't vote just because Kerry isn't Bush. That was a pretty rude comment said to Christa. I am trying my hardest not to get rude and so far i have done a good job i think. Don't feel bad Christa! it happens to all of us Republicans.

[Mkitty]

I even get it at school. well, we do. my sister did and the teacher didn't do anything.

Mugsy: You're right . . . I'm going to take what Jonza says with a grain of salt . . . after all, he dissed RICHARD, and that's COMPLETELY "narrow minded and arrogant" . . . LOL.

Jonza: You took what I said and completely screwed it around. And then you basically went back and proved what I was saying? You'd vote for anyone else, so long as it's not Bush? Is that not what that statement means???

I mentioned in an earlier post that, for the first time in my life (if I could vote in this election), I would be prepared to accept the devil I don't know over the one that I do.

So you think that i'm a narrow minded, arrogant, unintelligent, dogmatic Republican? Oh no, you've gone and hurt my feelings! LOL . . . Please!!! Give me a break here! You are as arrogant and left leaning as they get!!!

I don't really care about your views of me. I am voting based on my morals and beliefs. I'm OK with that and I'm not looking for your approval.

I don't really care about your opinions of our administration, especially since you won't be voting.

I'm not scared of you.

I'm not intimidated by you.

And just for future reference, LEAVE RICHARD ALONE!

Thanks Mkitty! I know, I usually try to stay out of these political boards, but I've been drawn to them lately. I'm also trying to not be rude, although I've already been accused of doing so . . . trying to keep it light though. LOL . . . gotta laugh at these people though, so defensive!

[Mkitty]

No problem, Christa! ya i know! i have tried to stay out of the dog house all together! but i couldn't because of these political stuf. im only 13 but i do know a couple of stuf tanx to my sis! she knows WAY more than i do! lol. i still can't believe my teacher didnt do anything. they started booing her when she said politics shouldn't be brought to school, and she said she would be neutral. Then this girl said to her "your a republican aren't you?" and she said back, in deffense, "your a liberal, aren't you?" and the teacher sat there, kinda qverwhelmed. he's going for Kerry, so what can i say. The kids in class before that were all booing my sis, and this girl said Bush was a big you no what! and the teacher smiled and didn't do anything until my sis stood up! unbelievable in my oppinion

[Mkitty]

GO CHRISTA!!!!! in your face jonza!

Mugsy once again thank you and thanks for coming back to PT! You expressed how I feel much better than I could. I agree with everything that you said. Should Howard Dean have been the Democratic nominee then I think a lot more Dems would have been voting FOR Dean instead of against Bush. Kerry is a wooden puppet. Good description and someone is pulling his strings. Hmm.... I don't like the war. Don't get me wrong. There are issues other than the war at stake in this country, though, and a lot of my concerns lie there as well. I wish we weren't involved in a war. I wish there weren't people in this world who hated us. Believe it or not, I am a registered Democrat. I was one of the few votes for George McGovern way back when. How's that for radical?? Remember Viet Nam? Come home Amerca! My husband was in the Air Force during Viet Nam. I just pray for peace and for God's will in this election. I can do no more.

[Mkitty]

i agree with Pam, again, and i wish people didnt hate us and that there were peace, but there will never be complete world peace. I wish there could be, but it is impossible with alot of stuf hapening throughout the world.

I know Kerry is like a wooden puppet!!! actully he kinda looks like a dog to me

[dukedogsmom]

Now see, looking like a dog, to me, would be a compliment!

[mugsy]

I believe the "in your face Jonza" was a bit strong (actually A LOT too strong), Jonza is entitled to his opinion and entitled to post just as you are and he did so eloquently. You and I may not agree with everything that he said, but, that does not mean that he should be attacked.

Pam, My BIL was in the Air Force in 'Nam also. He was stationed in Thailand the last year of the war. He's very proud of what he did there. He later left the AF and joined the Marines as an officer and that's where he was when he was in Desert Storm. Funny thing....he and Mike figure that they probably talked to each other in DS because they were both in intelligence and Mike was on the front lines and Tony was in Riyhad (spelling...I'm tired and don't want to think) and one of Mike's jobs was to call Central Command and brief them of what was happening.

MKitty, just because someone is a "Wooden Puppet" does not mean that he can't do a good job as president. I am referring to the way he carries himself. I don't mean to be rude and presumptuous, but, are your opinions your own, or are they the opinions of your parents? If they are your own, why do you take the side that you do?

Christa, I don't think you should feel attacked. Jonza was only expressing how he felt. That's what I meant when I posted what I did. Sorry, I didn't express that very well.

[Mkitty]

lol i didnt exactly mean it as an insult to people who want Kerry, i just think he does look like a dog.

[Mkitty]

well, i didnt try to attack him at all, but i thought it was rude what he said. and yes, some of these are my oppinions, and some of these are my parents, but i agree with them. and christa was offended and insulted. please dont hate me though, mugsy.

[mugsy]

I don't hate you MKitty....and I don't want to offend you, but, I don't hate you because I realize that you are VERY young. My students are older than you are!! lol I appeciate the fact that you are so young, but, yet, interested in politics.

I'm confused . . . I understand that Jonza is expressing how he felt, but he was attacking me personally in the process. I let him off easy, I am in no mood to get worked up over Jonza today.
