I just don't like the name calling and angry comments some people make instead of responding with civility. Some time ago you called yourself a member of the "loyal opposition" in a post about the current administration. I responded the same way I am now: It's fine to be an opponent, but would you just stick to responding to the comments posed or questions asked without an angry tone and without name calling or personal attacks.

You can read my original post and how I asked if folks could stop ridiculing the President for using a teleprompter because he did a pretty good job of explaining his health insurance proposal off-the-cuff last night.
I must confess, my last comment was rather a tease, because I suspected none of those who have been ridiculing the President for such a frivolous reason as using a teleprompter would back down and respond to my post directly with something like: "Yeh, I guess he showed he could speak coherently without the teleprompter." cabo's first sentence above was a start but I heard things differently than he did after that.

Again, I respect and admire the intelligence and passion of many of the posters in the political forum, the majority of whom seem to disagree with me. I've learned some things from them. And I'd spend more time reading and writing here if it weren't for the way some posters express themselves.
1, I never....EVER...NOT ONCE...ever said I was a member of the "loyal opposition", nor have I ever used that phrase. Now, a contributing member of this forum uses that. It appears that perhaps you throw anyone who does not support what President Obama is doing into on basket !

2. How did I determine you thought all who opposed Obama were bad. Your sarcasm to start which I took at sarcasm since the only thing you spoke about was the teleprompter....not the subect of much meaty discussion on this forum. I cannot think...if you can bring us a post copy or something of anyone starting a thread about the teleprompter.....now, is it thrown out there in humor...YEP.....much the same way that Bush was called an IDIOT....a COWBOY....a DRUNK...recall those times. That does not count the times his wife and daughters were attacked !

3. Fact is, most on here give the President high marks as an orator !!!

NOW.....tell us about the health plan and why you support it !!!
