And what took you so long to figure that one out???? No matter what your political persuasion, it is painful. (hope Mrs. Handi is better!)

Handie, shouldn't this post be in the political forum? ;D

You and Mrs. Handie have a safe trip Saturday!

Hey Handie I am sure they are going to move this post but anyway while it is here; why do you torture yourself reading all those well intended opinions. You will never be able to sway or make a point when folks have their respective minds made up. If anything, a debate club would be more enlightening instead of insults and innuendos being tossed around like a salad making class. BTW hope Mrs. Handie is feeling much better and keep her away from the Political Forum!!!!!

Join the club Handie. Haven't posted in political (unless something was moved there) and never will.

Didn't realize there even was a political forum. Who needs that :edit: ?

Ditto. I have never once even opened the political forum. I know that the world is filled with people who cannot view, say, a beautiful sunset and not think of it in political terms. There isn't a category of life, for lack of a better way to put it, that can be more filled with the position of "Don't confuse me with the facts; my mind is already made up." Personally I have no interest in being part of a mind-set like that....

I admit to being a political creature. I like arguing politics so long as they don't get into the namecalling. I've enjoyed some of the threads in the political forum here. Others have truly saddened me because they were nothing but the 4th grade tit-for-tat posts. So, thanks to those who have contributed, made comments that were reasoned, thought out and taught me something along the way. For those who chose to resort to namecalling and other childish acts :-P~~~~~~~~~~ (gotta love a Bronx cheer, eh?).

Like reasoned political posts. Even enjoy some times the nastier personal posts as long as they stay within the boundaries of the non-libelous and non-obscene. Got a ton of those when I posted on Findlaw's message boards-- I mean very nasty personal attacks from someone I would not know if I walked past him or her on the street.

The only thing I learned from the political forum is where the term VILLAGE IDIOTS came from .......If this is name calling , so be it.
Never read so many ill informed comments with absolutely no substance....
Most people just want to hear themselves talk and contribute nothing.....

I can be more self righteous than you can!!!!

Since I'm obviously more offended by "these people" then I'm equally obviously superior. God I'm wonderful!
