Once again the painting or condeming of an entire group for the sake of a very few who did wrong.... is not right....it never is...but is unfortunately all to common a practice. If one must target, then in fairness to the majority, it should be specific i.e. the few in the audience that......etc....

Here is what bothered me the most. Not one of the candidates or for that matter anyone from the audience had the courage to tell the boo birds to shut up and have some respect for the guy. To me that would have shown true leadership not the cowtowing to the ignorant fools who booed."

"They never do."


And what short memories. Old Newtie was hit by a busload of ethic violations and Bob Dole had to help him pay for it. Remember his African hunting analogy? Or how about opening all those orphanages, but give each kid a computer? Been married how many times? Not sure what in this post made me think of Newtie (gag).

And before you start harping on Clinton....yes, he is a sleazeball, but he was a good president. Reformed welfare. Left office with the US in the black. Now what happened under the next president? Let me think here a second...oh yeah...put us way in the red. That's it.

Explain the crowd cheered. You make it sound like the whole crowd cheered when only it was only very few.

So...some are racially bigoted,not the majority though....some are sexually bigoted, not the majority though....Anyone see a pattern here? Just though I'd clear that up and all of the folks on the stage are approved by the tea party...Oops

And all this was at the debate last night????????????

Village Golfer - You should be proud that you were drafted and went to Vietnam as you were ordered. Hats off to you for that.

However, you say in your post that you fought to protect the right for people to boo? How was your service in Vietnam connected to the Bill of Rights? The USA was not in danger of attack from Vietnam. Any fighting you did was to help stabalize the South Vietnam government. It had nothing to do with the Bill of Rights.

But, thanks for serving your country when asked to do so.

Jay Leno had a good joke regarding the Republican debate. He said it was irony that the debate was being sponsored by Google when the candidates are all a bunch of Yahoos.

By the way, the audience went wild with laughter on that joke.

if just one of the candidates had the courage to tell the boobirds to shut up I think I would feel much better with their candidacy but they didn't. Why? Votes? Showing that much lack of conviction and backbone tells me alot. And to VG I do remember getting booed and it hurts to this day.

cologal: Based on the posts that followed the original post by you and me, do you see why I didn't address the issue about the solider......

These instances are side shows and meant to distract from the main issue (s)
The debates are about determinimg who is the best to run, that is who you will back in the presidential election.

Issues such abortion, homosexuality, illegal immigration, etc are issues that need to be addressed but subordinated to the issues of our economy, continued defense, etc. Personally I feel quite strongly about the subordinated issues but first I want to see which candidate can reverse our current economic situation . We are in deep dodo and we need a good leader
and not one that pushes populist ideas about social issues.

Its all about the economy, resuming our leadership role in the world and frankly gaining back the respect we have lost in world affairs.

Didn't you watch the video link I posted? It only last a couple of seconds.

Thank you.....

Keep spinning....

Spinning the truth, you mean?:ohdear:

Does the size of the cheer matter? A number of people in the crowd cheered and as last night the candidates did nothing.....Santourim said "He didn't hear the boos".

So what do you think of the this.....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS

The other night the 2 hockey teams were playing Detroit and Philly twice during the game a fan threw a banana at the only African American player. This was clearly a racist act.

The fact that perhaps a single indivdual did this doesn't change the nature of the act.

The Soldier should NOT have been booed.

Amazing how the uber-conservatives just want to say things like "it was only a few people and it lasted only a few seconds."

And yet their "leadership" did absolutely nothing to express their disgust with the booing. Well, maybe the "candidates (Yahoos)" were not disgusted with booing and agreed with it.
