LOL, but she can't do much worse than those who are "professional thugs" in Washington. Look where THEY got us. I gotta SNT, your little pic in your sig line cracks me up every time I see it!

Here is what I think NEEDS to happen -- and it was thought of for us over 200 years ago: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is in the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

Don't worry, I hear she only shoots moose. :rolleyes2:

Eh, it's all starting to run together anyway. :rolleyes2:

YAAAY Dennis Miller! Comedian Dennis Miller was on Jay Leno's show on Oct. 3rd, and he was really funny. He was asked by Jay who he favors in the election, and here are excerpts from his response... 'I'm voting for McCain. People need to understand that all of Hollywood is not for Obama, and anyone who served their country in a Vietnam prison as a prisoner for 5 years deserves my vote. (Huge applause) Hey, he gave us 5 years, I'm willing to give him 4 back. I don't like the fact that Obama has played his color card all by himself. He said, 'People might not vote for me because my name sounds funny.' McCain and his people have never gone there. Obama playing that card turns me off. I'm not worried about the color of his skin. I'm worried about the thickness. Quite frankly, he get a little too whiney. (Huge applause) And his wife... She is a bad night. If she were barking in my ear while I was driving, I'd take a sharp left and go off the cliff. Barack missed the boat when he didn't pick Hillary, and I'm no Hillary fan. But quite frankly, she earned to be picked, and I believe the American women can relate to her. She has been cheated on more often than a blind woman playing scrabble with a bunch of gypsies. Sarah Pallin isn't perfect, but I don't want her to be perfect. We've had smart people as vice presidents before. Nixon was smart, and he turned out to be a nightmare. Gore was smart, but I never got him. I want someone normal as VP who is like me. People say McCain may die after being elected. Hey, everyone knows Barack smokes, and look at what the actuarial tables say about a 47 year old smoker. He dies, we get Biden, and he's as old as McCain. He dies, and we get Nancy Pelosi, and then I'm leaving the galaxy.' Amen, Dennis!

Actually, I'm all for nuking the entire place to the ground so that we can start over. Like that's ever gonna happen... :rolleyes2: Not saying that voting McCain would guarantee these types of cuts, but it doesn't mean they are any less necessary.

If this is meant for me, I never said that either candidate is inciting hatred. It's the followers, especially the left-wing fringe, who are as intolerant and hate-filled as islamofascist terrorists. I really see no difference. Just to clarify, I have purposely said left-wing fringe. If one is an average or moderate liberal, it does not apply. However, I still don't understand wanting MORE government and MORE taxes. That just boggles the mind.

See? We agree again. I too say we need to keep the money here. Giving our money to other countries is no smarter than taking from my family to "spread the wealth" even in my country. And I disagree with Obama's scalpel theory. We are hemhorraging money right now. The time for scalpel cutting passed us by many years ago. MANY years ago. It's time to chop out the unnecessaries and try to keep the body alive. And it needs to be done much more aggressively than any scalpel job will ever do, I believe. :rolleyes2:

LOL, yeah, I know. :rolleyes2:

Ohhh.. *thunk* totally missed it! :rolleyes2: I took the motorcycle out today cuz it was so dang pretty out... to clear the mind. Cleared it a bit too much (okay, y'all, don't take the bait!). LOL

I didn't mean anything by the VB thing... it's the first thing I noticed when I see a 1" by 1" photo. Sorry if it's a bad thing...

I thought you'd like that. :laugh: :hurray:

"SNT"? Sorry, I don't get all the lingo yet. And I know I'm late, but I'm new. It's just that Vicky scares the bejezus outta me. :rolleyes2:

For me, other than message boards, I don't talk politics with anybody. They could be any form or fashion and I wouldn't really know or care. My boss, I know, is liberal, and I only know this because she came bounding in and singing about how she just voted for Obama. :rolleyes2: She has tried to pull me into conversations about who I will vote for, and I just won't go there.

You are right, there IS bad on both sides. Never inferred that there wasn't. I am as much against the talk your mom has heard as I am against the stuff I hear spewed from the left. But what I've seen over the years is an increasing vileness and hatred coming from more and more from the left fringe that, to be honest, I can't separate them from the islamofascist terrorists out there. Both are dead set in bringing down and destroying those they disagree with.

If it helps you feel any better, Lucy, I wish I was 189. Heck, I wish I was 195!! :rolleyes2:

Yeah, I dunno. Lulu makes me think of Victoria Beckham. :rolleyes2: I have liberal friends. I think. Wait, I'm sure of it. One... I think. :hurray:

Actually it was the Star Spangled Banner. However, some sites stated it as the Pledge, hence the confusion. Here it is in video, from ABC: ABC News I know you wish that was true -- and in fact NEED that to be true. However, I don't like him because he is a flaming socialst and absolutely THE most left-wing liberal to ever walk the earth. That's why I don't like him. But it doesn't sound like that's completely true. If memory serves (and I tried to do a search and find my post), I thought you were the one who said that you have to do some digging to find out where he stood on issues, and I replied that they shouldn't be like Rubik's Cubes. If that wasn't you, I apologize, but these threads and posters are starting to run together. But if that was you, then what you say now contradicts what you said earlier. Kinda like how I feel in saying that the liberal candidates wouldn't win if they didn't always try to promise their voting base some form of reparations or other form of monetary perks while fostering class envy. If the libs said tomorrow, "With very few exceptions, you are on your own and responsible for yourself, the gravy train has dried up and there will be no more perks," many who vote liberal would be in a real conundrum. Very true, but I have to believe we are expending calories while debating. :rolleyes2: My Majik 8 Ball said so, so it must be true. :hurray: No, really, it's true.

Awww, fair 'nuff. Wouldn't really know what to do with a male stripper anyway. Just never seen one. It's like Bigfoot -- I HEAR they exist, but I have yet to experience it myself. :hurray: I can do the low-fat/diet root beer float! Sounds wonderful! Ever had a Skinny Cow? They're FANTASTIC!

Who's Lulu? If she's fun, that's all that matters. And it wouldn't be anything to anything... no politics involved. Just straight thinking and slashing stupid spending. That pretty much spans any side. :rolleyes2:

Dubya's a 1980's liberal. That's why he's spending so damn much. :rolleyes2:

Hmmm. I am tempted to change one very pertinent letter and make it CAIR. More fitting.

Oh, he's all for charity to others -- so long as WE are footing the bill. But then again, that's a typical leftist tactic. Look at Hollywood! They keep talking about how much we average people need to give up to do our fair share, yet they have billions amongst themselves. Even that hag Martha Stewart was heard to tell average America (through snickers and chortles) that we need to buck up and take it. I say we begin by boycotting everything Martha Stewart. :cursing: HOLD THE PRESSES!! You mean he would take illegal donations -- from a family member who could ill afford it, no less??? Perish the thought!! I just can't believe his campaign would be so hypocritical! I mean, isn't he the (insert echo voice here) AGENT OF CHANGE??? I'm crushed. :wink:

I feel like I keep repeating myself: This is not MY administration. It's just THE administration in place. I am a conservative, but the guys who call themselves conservatives today are nothing more than liberals. That said, those LIBERALS have done this to us. Socialism like Obama wants is a thousand times worse than what we have right now.

Well, again, it was part of an entire quote by someone else. However, ONE man can't enhance our economy any more than ONE man can destroy it. It takes the Congress and Senate to participate and, in most instances, create the issues that the president accepts or rejects. In my opinion, it took the entirity of the government to create what we have today. ALL of them. That is why I say nobody represents me.
