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.

BubbleButt can have it. I'd rather let her ignorance be the last word to ring out anyway.

Yeah, I forgot that beers and other carbonated drinks will probably be a big no-no for me very soon anyway. As I think it is for bandsters in general. Chocolate is fantastic! Or if you want to stay away from the whole calorie thing, bring the male stripper. :cursing:

Why is it you lie? You say you're bored, you don't like the information I post about your messiah, yet you seek out my posts -- NOW just to :::wink5:::. Very mature. And what was that you said about me and my big girl panties? Be careful, otherwise you could be considered trolling at this point. But then again, I guess there's nothing you can argue about WAAAAHbama any longer. This is all you have left. Guess that bubble moved further north. :cursing:

No, what you're doing is coloring him with your own speculation and guesswork. And frankly, I want a representative where I don't have to work him like a Rubiks Cube, one where his or her stance is VERY obvious and VERY up front. Maybe that's why y'all hate Palin so much. She's an open book and there's no having to "dig deeper" to figure out what she's about.

That sounds like a lot of guessing and speculating -- answering his non-action the way you WANT to believe he thinks. However, he has proven he can't even make a decision, yes or no. What about when we're attacked again? What will he do? Sit there and say "no vote"? Heck, he won't even pledge allegiance to the flag because he doesn't want to "pick sides." Hell, if he's not on OUR side, whose side is he on? Why can't the guy make a decision? Was the teleprompter broken or something, so he didn't know what to say??

And yet you still keep coming back! lol

Probably blacklist MSNBC like they have any other station that has dared to upset WAAAAAHbama.

Uh-huh... :cursing: You seem hardly bored since you keep coming back and working yourself up in a lather. As for the big girl panites, the only one I've seen getting upset is you. You're nearly shrill. Take a deep breath and, oh I dunno, get over yourself already.

As you keep proving mine. lol Yes, I know, I posed hard questions. The Obama playbook says to slaughter the messenger and then storm off in a huff. Way to go. By the way, I went to the "WHY are people voting for McCain" thread and in 30 pages, not once did you come down against anybody attacking those on the right. Why is that? Unless you are more biased and one-sided than you give yourself credit for, that is. But then again, I could see that without even having to go look. :cursing:

What's to get over?? I'm simply posting my viewpoint as you and others have. Why is it that the left always wants to silence the opposition? Y'all are lilke little commies running around, trying to bully those who disagree with you. Why is that? Who ever said I was? ROTFLMAO! Uh, Kettle? Yeah, Pot here. You're black. LOL Couldn't care less. No, what I see is anybody clinging onto that socialist like he's the second coming of Christ really has a screw loose. If the shoe fits, I'm sorry, but I didn't put you there. As for McCain, he's simply what the democrats were about 20 years ago. He's not my representative. Good for you. I always have. That's why I don't like either of them. Please show me where I have "whined" about you calling him McDummy. Frankly I don't care. But what I DID say in one post this morning is that the left is constantly calling those they disagree with derogatory names. Why is that? Why are SO MANY on the oh-so-tolerant left such a hateful, name-calling bunch? They can't simply disagree with the person or the issues, they have to call them names. It's like children on a playground. You really do hate opposition, don't you? Why is that? Anybody who doesn't sing Hail Obama, Messiah of Mine is labled and derided by the likes of you. I guess that's what happens when one drinks too much of the kool-aid. Just can't handle an opposing view. Very sad. By the way, have you come against anybody in the anti-McCain threads who have been hurling insults at the right? Even once? I betcha you haven't.

I didn't write this, and I don't have the name of the person to give credit to: America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. --Abraham Lincoln Friends and Associates do mean something… VIRGINS do not hang around with prostitutes; PATRIOTS do not hang around with terrorists. It IS that simple!!! William Ayers - American Terrorist Frank Davis – mentor and radical Communist/sexual pervert Raila Odinga - Cousin, Radical Islamist Raul Reyes - Columbian Terrorist Antonio Rezko - Felon/Slum Lord Professor Khalidi - Muslim Terrorist Supporter and got Obama into Harvard…. Reverend Wright - Racist Supporter/Preacher, Anti-American Reverend James Meeks - Racist Reverend Louis Farrakhan - Racist Nation of Islam / Faux Preacher Nadhmi Auchi - Muslim Billionaire Sohaib Abassi - Muslim Millionaire America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. --Abraham Lincoln

I just realized I didn't put in my disclaimer: I didn't write it. I can only speak for myself, but for me, it may be similar to how I feel the conservatives have abandoned my party. So too have the churches abandoned many Christians. Apathy and apostasy is rampant in the church, and people like myself see it. We are disillusioned with MAN and how he has bastardized Christianity. Yes, I've noticed. Instead, they want an even more extreme socialist to run the show. I consider many who are so gung ho for him as being the type with their hands out hoping that the messiah will bless them with some of my money. I have heard the left call those of us who want to pay less taxes as being selfish. Instead, what I see are the voters who are voting for him with one hand while they hold the other hand out for their stipend as being the selfish ones. They would rather steal from the hard-working individuals than go out and do it themselves. That is the ultimate in selfishness. I agree: I hear you, but I wholly disagree with your take on issues. Obama scares the bejezus out of me because he knows nothing, has done nothing, and his only answer to everything is to make us a socialist nation, taking away people's right to capitalism. And the name-calling you level at these people is VERY indicative of the left. Y'all can't just seem to disagree -- you have to attack. More from the oh-so-tolerant left, I see.

Oh good Lord! The problem today is ANYbody thinking that ANY candidate is going to be the savior or messiah! They act as if the president really has all this power, which they don't. People today are all too worried about "getting theirs" or what the government is gonna give them or do for them. Too many people sitting around with their hand out, asking what Big Daddy Gubment has for them. People have turned into sheep -- waiting to be told what to do, when, and how fast. That's the "personal responsibility" part of my issue with people. When we have a country that has to wait on everything, then you take thinking out of the mix. I am a transplant from Houston, and I watched in amazement as Ike headed for the gulf and people literally complained that they weren't TOLD to evacuate and then blamed the government for that! I'm sorry, but if I saw a hurricane the size of Texas barreling toward me, NOBODY would have to tell me to get the hell outta Dodge!

That's MY short-term goal too!! 'Cept I don't have double D's -- single D's here (but they were once nice, perky C's :wink5:). As for "Big Medicine" -- great way to lose 12 pounds instantaneously -- NOT! :wink: Hey, so long as when I get down to my ideal goal I don't have to lift my belly flap like a skirt to sit down, I'll be happy. :cursing:

LOL, yeah, looks like she approved me even though... lol And what's so funny is at least in a general sense, it sounds like you and I agree more than we disagree. I don't adhere completely to ALL the conservative stances -- but my primary issues are less government (and government intrusion), less taxes (and fiscal responsibility by our government), gun ownership, secure borders, and personal responsibility. Though I have my own view on abortion, I don't believe the government should get involved. That's about it. Pretty simple, no? That's why I say nobody represents me since the conservatives have pretty much abandoned their base. I WILL check out those threads in here. It is a large site, so it can be hard to find exactly what I need -- or even know what it is I should be thinking about. I am already familiar with many things pre- and post-op (the doctor's office gave me a link to a website that goes through many of the details about the procedure), but hearing from others is always better in my book. They are the ones experiencing it, so they can shed a whole nuther light on the matter. Thanks for directing me to those areas!
