Good Lord, you'd think so wouldn't you!

But have you taken a good look at John McCain's entire campaign? It has been a matter of him making accusations against the Democrats and then having it discovered a while later that he has done exactly what he made the accusation about. Why has his campaign been such an embarrassing mess? It reminds me of the Democrats campaigns in the past.

Karl- you've got some 'splainin' to do.

The Republicon strategy does seem to be composed of negative attacks, many of them personal, and not a positive promulgation of their own platform. Actually, many of the TV adverts that I have been seeing - both Demo and Repo - are attack ads and largely negative. It is unsurprising that there is such bitterness amongst the citizens of your country. This is a sad state of affairs, I think.

This is not for the faint of heart. A friend of mine sent me this today and since it is on the topic of this thread, I decided to share it with you. I thought twice about posting it. I hope no one is offended.

"The thought of an assasination can make my stomach churn. I hope that you all never have to go through what we went through when Jack Kennedy was assasinated and then Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were gunned down.

"The riots were real. We flew into a small airport in Tennessee the weekend after Martin Luther King was assasinated and a very well-armed National Guard lined the streets through town. They weren't there for set decoration.

"I think that those assasinations scarred our hearts. We were left feeling impotent and powerless. After crying for what felt like an eternity we ducked our heads and focused on our own little lives knowing that there was no hope for most of us.

"Now Barack Obama has given us hope again. The hope that things can actually get better.

"Maybe we can become the super power that we once were. It would be nice if we could be proud of our public school systems again. Maybe people will want to volunteer to make America better. What a concept.

"We would like to stop being embarrassed everytime our president speaks. What if we could once again be a role model for other countries. Maybe other people could actually be able to respect us and learn from us.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if our children could be inspired to invent exciting technology that would save the environment. Maybe we could learn that money isn't the most important thing in our lives.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could actually have pride in being an American again.

"I would like to think that we could experience true peace and happiness even in my lifetime.

"I'm telling you that if they assasinate Barack Obama I hope we hang those bastards up by their toes and watching them bake in the sun until the radical terrorist assasins crawl back into the holes they crawled out of."

What might be offensive about it?

The only problem with it is the statements suggesting that because of Obama, all things can be mended. I don't think you can link the assassinations of past leaders and politicians to Obama's catch-phrase of hope. I also don't think you can make a correlation between the politics of JFK or MLK and Obama. After all, Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. And the breed of Democrat that JFK was doesn't even remotely compare to the breed that Obama is.

BJean, are you implying the Republican party planted and orchestrated Joe the Plumber? If they were going to do something like that, don't you think they would have found a better candidate?

That is, IF poor Joe ever decided to actually be a grateful man for being an American and pay his taxes to help make this country work.

Wow. Just... WOW. :biggrin:

See, where you think it's better for some poor schmo to feel "grateful" for being an American and showing that gratitude by paying taxes -- MORE taxes, no doubt -- I feel that the government ought to feel grateful that we elected them and that they would have the intestinal fortitude and cajones to do the RIGHT thing -- not the thing that works best for them as individuals while everybody else takes a back seat.

I don't pay my taxes out of gratitude or even duty. I pay them because they are stolen from me out of my paycheck. If I felt that there were decent people in office being good shepherds with MY money, I would feel that I was part of a greater good. But they aren't. They squander and waste more money than I can even imagine, and then they want me to pay more for all their fuckups (excuse the French, but no other word quite covers it). While we are scrimping and saving and doing without, they NEVER do without. They just find new, more inventive ways to steal my money from me.

I am far from grateful. The country my ancestors fought and died for has been totally screwed up in a very short time by this batch of morons we've been voting in for the last number of decades.

That breed of democrat exists today -- his name is John McCain.

The type of democrat that is being touted as a democrat today is a Fascist socialist, so far beyond the left-wing arena as to be unrecognizable to JFK if he was reincarnated today.

Agreed, on both points. JFK is rolling over in his grave, but the Founding Fathers have been rolling for so long they've bored their way to China.

I find your comments interesting. Sometimes I wonder if we're all residing on the same planet though.

Someone asked me about Joe the Plumber today and wondered if I thought that his entrance into the campaign was planned and orchestrated by the Republicans. I can't say that for certain, but I can say that I am very surprised that McCain has brought him onto his platform at rallies. Like he's trotting out a VIP.

On the one hand, Senator Obama has some people helping him campaign who have serious credentials and credibility.

On the other hand, you have Joe the Plumber. Whew. That sucks.

You consider Erica Jong a credible source of information? Have you read her books?

Not that I disagree. I just don't consider Erica Jong the smartest bulb on the porch.

If a backlash happens because Senator Obama loses, and if there is blood in the streets, it will be shed by the pro-Obama people, caused by their oppositions brutality, if history tells us anything.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
