I, for one, am on the edge of my seat waiting for the Obama attack ads to fill the airwaves. I don't even care if they are outright lies.....time for the dems to get a taste of their own medicine.

Bring it on.
40% of the American people are too stupid to know what is going on anyways.

If you go back and search, amazingly, you have taken up for MO Obama and got on another poster as attacking her as tasteless and crass....
More then once you have told us all how intellectually smart Obama is....
You jumped in a thread, taking up for a liberal poster here (the first time you and I have tango'd) and INcorrectly took a position about what he had posted, regarding BUSH and Cheney falsifying documnets...then you had to retract.....
You took an opportunity (without stating that you had done so) of editing a fellow members here's post to reflect another jab at republicans...which was very tasteless not notifying of the editing that is...
The more one looks at your post, it's quite obvious where your political opinions lay....And, that's just fine! Just don't come here with this "I am not registered either way .....You may not be registered but your opinions surely do reflect something different......
P.S you do know that admission is the first step to recovery.....
Being a liberal is bad, being a closet liberal is ever worse.....!!! lol
If you are amazed by the search feature or if you think that's even "modern technology", I fear nuance is completely lost on you.

I do think that Obama is a smart guy. Maybe not as smart as Nixon or Clinton (who are/were both very intelligent men), but he's is intelligent.

I missed a post in that thread and apologized for having done so. In my world, when I guy steps up and admits fault, it should be forgiven and forgotten. Maybe it's different where you are from. All I was trying to do there was point out that something might have been missed in the discussion. That said, you attacked my reading comprehension when the reality was I simply hadn't read that page. Had I, I never would have stuck my two cents in. That said, I wasn't incorrect in my statement, just in its application.

Maybe because I was raised in the south, I have a different take on the way folks should interact. I think it is tasteless and crass to attack a man's wife in the way it was presented. You should never talk about anyone, especially a woman in the way that poster was addressing Michelle Obama. You and I are likely different in this regard.

Finally, my attempt at humor to show how off the rails some of the posts are around here by changing two words in a guy's quote was obviously too subtle for you. I did point out that I was trying to be funny in that change, and later explained it, but I wasn't aware of the protocol. It was later explained, so you won't see that again from me; however, you don't address the larger point I was making. I guess that nuance is lost on you.

The problem I see around here is if you are slightly to the left of Attila the Hun, you are a commie pinko liberal. That is simply crazy. If you think that the current POTUS is a socialist or communist, you are beyond nuts. I've said before that he governs slightly to the right of Richard Nixon, and from a policy perspective that's accurate. In this climate, how is a moderate who isn't attached at the hip to the far right supposed to operate?

OK. Let's play this game out for a moment just so you will see how truly crazy it is.
I don't recall your post condemning the Rwandan Genocide, therefore you must support the mass murder.

I don't recall your post condemning the Cincinnati Reds, therefore you must support communism.

I don't recall your post condemning the use of money from foreign nationals in super PACs, therefore you support selling out our elections to China.
I could keep going, but I think you get the point. Just because I didn't call out every possible grievance or every single malfeasance possible under the Citizens United decision doesn't meant that I think it's right -- on either side.

Also, I should point out that you added emphasis to my quote without proper attribution that you'd done so, therefore you must be a complete hypocrite.

lol, YOU still don't get it do you??
None of the above things matter. I really could care less what affiliation you are. YOU are the one who apparently needed to clarify it by stating that you are "neither this nor that........
So, all I have done is go back and show that nearly all of your post are ONE sided (to the left of attilla the hun lmao) and you take humbrage to it.
I really could care less......but as in previous post, you make claims and when the rubber meets the road, you have to make retractions.
Remember how I ended that post........?????
Admission is the first step to recovery,......lol
Its ok to be liberal, but in this day and age, there is no reason to be a closet liberal......

Show me the thread on Rwanda.......
Show me the thread on the reds.......
Show me the thread on foriegn nationals and super pacs.......(by the way I have stated many times I am all for campaign reform).
See, again , you're are lost cause none of those topics were available (or brought up) to comment on.
Nice try though....now run along like a little closet pinkie and find your next talking point.

As rasta said, I would rather support free speech I don't agree with than control speech. Like many liberal ideas, yours sounds good at first airing, and makes people who support it feel good, but the result is more power and control to those already in power, and less liberty for we, the people.
When Socialist Utopia arrives, there won't be a need for an opposing party.

Fellow Republicans: First let me say that it is not important to agree with one another 100 percent. The party establishment try's to put together a platform and then try to get us into single file. This is old school and ineffective when dealing with communistic filthy do nothing dead weights who we oppose in the next election. Many fail big time on both party sides in leaving this great nation intact and all that it was and should be for coming generations. What is required from all who do not consider themselves communistic is to look real hard at this administration as it is in today's light. Come together and put the trash out in November, no if's and's or but's! I implore you to do the correct thing for these United States of America.

So Sheldon Adelson is being compared to George Soros? Adelson is trying to support and preserve nations, Soros goal has always been to weaken and wreck them. That pretty much says it all, and makes further comparison redundant.

I get the biggest kick out the Ricketts "stop the spending" super pac. They aren't saying that to the city of Chicago though because they want to the city to pony 300 million to redo Wrigley Field. Their local senate candidate here has gotten a bit of scandal attached to her. It turns out her husband has been renting government owned and subsidised ranch land for years. Ranchers who able to rent from the government land pay about 5 cent on the dollar compared to what it cost to rent privately owned land. Strange how when talking about cutting SS and Medicare during the primary, she never got around to mentioning that massive give away of government funds.

Trump says, 25% tax on everything made in China and we will not owe them anything.

This week he told investors to guard their investments because massive inflation is on the way inside 2012.
