Ya think? What does dissatisfied individuals mean? Does it mean we were not invited to sip the Kool Aid with Obama and his sheeples?

You are awesome Cabo, as usual.

Did you ever ever question why it seems that way ? I mean, for once, sit down and analyze the "shots" you always take !!!

Oh forgot the new posting scenario.....we who post here have no life....I think CABO's post speaks volumes.

Of course we could all leave this forum and post on a thread talking about dogs peeing on their lawn, or some other "life fullfilling" thread !.....NOW, that is having a life, right ? And I will add to this that discussing a dog peeing on your lawn does not mean you have no life ! That is not a judgement that I am equipped to be able to make as you are able to judge others !

I suppose from what I am hearing from you and others that those who support Obama have a full and complete life and those who do not support him have got to get a life in some fashion !!! Sounds like his campaign rhetoric !

Oh, probably based on your track record of just "popping" in and making sarcastic comments.....basically I had one simple question...you made your normal sarcastic statement....

"Sometimes this forum resembles a Rush Limbaugh echo-chamber."


And I wanted you to answer as to why YOU think it like that ?


The rest of my "hissy fit" was simply to try and keep you from using the standard one liners that are so often used to criticize folks who post on here !

Will await your word on WHY this resembles as you so eloquently said..." a Rush Limbaugh echo chamber" !!!

Most folks who post on here have said they do not even listen to him, but of course that means nothing to you...

So we await your analysis of why what you called this forum is that ?

Gee, a literary allusion went over your head.

Its just a waste of time to read the opinions which are poorly researched and just too far fetched to be even believable. And as other have said, some of us have a real life.

EXCUUUUSEMEEEEEEEE?

I'm highly satisfied that we, the minority, were right about Obama!

There is a an old movie called "12 angry Men." Basically the synopsis is---a jury who thought it was going to be an easy guilty verdict. One guy was a "holdout" and that made the other jurors angry as they wanted to go home because they thought the accused was guilty. The lone juror received the scorn of the others until they dissected the evidence more closely and one by one the jurors finally went to the other side and joined the lone juror who thought the defendant might be innocent.

I would love to see some people with "guts" defend their candidate instead of hiding behind ridicule.

RIGHT ON BROTHER

I guess that I won't complain that the LARGE number of people group that you belong to DON'T participate in political. Save us the mundane barbs.

Well, I miss "Girl Talk." It looks like to me that it stopped in its tracks. (Sigh)

Oh well.

Thank you Boomer!! I miss it too!!!!!

Let's get going girls and get back to "Girl Talk:

As they say Boomer...."you go girl!!"

How about last year when a same small group railede day in and day out about ANYTHING Repuiblican or even more broadly...ANYTHING/anybody not for Obama. Taj44....do you mean like that group?
How would you grade their research?

The big difference....last year we did not pick up our toys and go hide. We discussed/battled/argued/what ever.
This year now that their man is in the WH the same verbose/bombastic group is no where to be found. We can't get them to express why they believe any issues Obama performs are good? Why?

Must be the party expects blind obedience...that is not the way America works...thank GOD for the first amendment.

Did you ever hear the expression no struggle no progress....apparently not.
There has yet to be one....ONE of the select group of grinders from last year EVER defend or explain what the think about an issue....ANY issue.

It is a cop out to pretend y'all are on some high ground. To belittle those who have a difference of opinion....just like therailers of 2008!!!

As I have said in other posts this is not particular to this forum, it is rampant in most any forums, gatherings. Talk about a waste.

I guess we will have to wait for the next election or next round of sarcasm on Palin....she seems to have the ability to drag the 2008 railers out of their holes.

Put your asbestos shorts on and come on into the kitchen...the heat ain't all that back.
If you can dish it out one should be able to take it....but obviously not....at least to date.

It is your loss.

btk

Ahhhh, btk, we meet again.

And to think I swore off ever posting again in political. But I just won't count this one because this one is merely a citation to prove a point.

I know how you loathe liberals. But I learned that even we moderates were not welcome in here. I came to political, not so very long ago, in an attempt to discuss how I saw what was happening to the party that I had always been a part of. The party that I no longer recognize. Fiscally conservative me. Socially progressive me. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. And I wanted to talk about healthcare, too.

And, btw, do you remember when you had a doctor in here, who would post about things he saw on the front lines in his job. And he tried to discuss. He had interesting things to say. But I have not seen him for a while. No wondering why.

Now, I know full well, going in, that you, btk, will dismiss this as you always do and you will continue on, marching, marching, marching to that drummer.

But that's OK. I will say it anyway. Maybe somebody else will want to see it. Maybe not.

Here is a link to an old thread. If you go to page 5 and scroll down to post #48, it was you and me, btk. You and me. I had tried to discuss in this forum. I attempted communication. But this post I cite is where I finally left it. And it explains why. Please see #48. I have others in there but it is #48 where I said my goodbye. And why.

This is just for the record.

15 Reasons to Oppose Climate Bill

And another, btw, btk, the political forum looks a lot like a leaflet drop. You just fly over. There is more to winning the hearts and minds than just flying over.
