“maybe the huffpost”

“We are ready to leave...ju­st give us the word!”

“I laughed.”

“Same back at you :) but..Hope leaving the chat...tha­t can't be good!”

“I am not surprised that you see a friendly intergalactic dictator as the solution to our problems.

Take care,”

“Peace”

“Where's the movement to have someone push a bill through?

Do you want change or more speeches?”

“he has to. congress appears to be unable to act on it's own.”

“He can, in a way.

Executive orders, signing statements­..”

“Maybe you just don't want to rock your preconceived notions about conservatives.

I dunno.”

“and see, I agree with you... but you open yourself up to a different argument..­. if O and Congress do not change the laws... you are not forced to stay here either.

I happen to be the product a biracial marriage..­. and yes, my parents have been through some stuff..... but they have never insinuated that people leave their birth right country because they do not agree that a black man and white woman love each other.

I understand that you are passionate, but you too are free to go if things dont work out to your liking.”

“YOU ARE RIGHT! There is no bigger problem than the taking away of a person's rights .all other problems starts from there”

“supposed is the key word here... ask a black, or hispanic person if they are equal... bet you will get a NO.”

“Yes.

First of all: I'm love the gays. My best friend is gay, not that this really makes a difference one way or another. I don't think the government has any place in doling and enforcing marriage contracts.

Second of all: Some folks are just never going to get along. For whatever reason, certain people don't like certain things about other people. That's cool, I don't really care. Unless there is some loss of property or livelihood incurred by an offending party, there is no crime committed. I am allowed to hold whatever "prejudice" I want against whomever I want. The mind is the only thing that is truly yours in the world, when push comes to shove. With that being said, if I act on those prejudices in a way that deprives someone of their natural rights, then I will be processed by our judicial system in order to make the defending party "whole" again.

You can legislate against actions. You cannot legislate against feelings.”

“Its a valid question..­.. what do you propose??? We start fining and jailing people for not being open minded to gays???? How do you stop them from being stubborn and closed minded???

I know this about equality, but some of the posts that people come up with leave the door open to very valid questions like this one.”

“I agree.”

“those homophones tend to confuse people sometimes.”

“Why do we have to become "friends" to see your profile? There's too much of that going on here -- and it's usually the anti-O who are hiding out.”

“How are these the same thing? If someone crashes his car into me, that's my business. If he/she gets divorced and has to pay a lawyers tens of thousands of dollars to get out of it, that's his/her business. And if he/she stays married, that doesn't guarantee that the offspring will be any better off.”

“What kind of regulation are you suggesting?”

“Are you proposing the government pre-screen heterosexual couple compatibility to determine their worthiness for marriage?”

“Hey hope, agreed. My divorce was a crash, my airbag failed, and I wasn't wearing a seat belt.”

“they're?

there.

So there!”

“Well I have always been scared then.

;)”

“I almost wrote a similar response. I'm glad I scrolled down to see many people are saying what I was thinking.”

“Where was your "righteous indignation" when Kerry was wrongly "swift boated"? Kerry's attacks were false; this article exposes the fraud that is McCain. War hero? BS.
He is running commercials here in Ohio trumpeting his supposed war hero status. That makes this inquiry relevant.
McCain needs to sign Standard Form 180. It always seemed incredulous that McCain could qualify for flight school when finishing 894 out of 899 in his class. If the Navy had not used nepotism; if his daddy the admiral had not made life and promotions easy for McCain, he wouldn't have been in the position to wreck those 5 Navy planes. He would have not been in the position to cause that major fire on the carrier. And most importantly, he would not have been in a position to collaborate with the North Vietnamese when he was a "POW".
It is ironic; McCain opposes affirmative action, the legitimate policy that encourages employers and others to consider applicants from all backgrounds as opposed to just from the majority population. However, he has benefited from the worst type of set asides for unqualified applicants: nepotism, his entire life.
He is unqualified to be president.”

“Military or heroic enough is not the question, it is about character. Did you read the article? This is about how a failed student and aviator got by because of daddy and grand-daddy. The point is that this man never got anywhere on his own. Not in the military (thanks to his family) and not in politics (thanks to his wife's family). It this is not a carbon copy of George W's life I do not know what is.”

“Where was this outrage when they was raking John Kerry's military record over the coals? I served 20 years in the military and I know that some records are fluffed. Many times its not what you know but who you know. I say what was good for John Kerry is good for John McCain if he is going to make his military experience part of his campaign.”

“It was swiftboating with Kerry because it was proved to not be true. It is not swiftboating if it is true. McCain has been using his military service and POW status like a bulletproof vest. When you shove it in people's faces, this is bound to happen.”

“Now that is debate I want to see
Obama questioning a true Hero”

“No way. McCain was smart in past elections. He stayed away from directly pushing his military record and former POW status. If he'd kept that approach, you would have a point. Once he went on the war bio tour and started pushing his military record aggressively, it all became fair game. We are entitled to the truth of his military record if we are supposed to entrust our future and our children's future based on that supposed expertise.”

“The 'Halo3' effect.”

“could say republicans started the *swift boat* with their attacks on kerry but frankly, anyone running for that big an honor (at leas it used to be before gwb), we need to know character. And there are too, too many questions about how mcsame acted when captured. I've read he was a collaborator and may have gotten other soldiers killed. Maybe you don't think the truth is important but I do.”

“I'm not playing, hope. I'm not playing this game. I don't care if it's "divisive".

Clinton is headed to Florida Wednesday, to tell Democrats they have been "disenfranchised".

Today, she told voters Obama had "slapped her voters in the face".

This, and I'M divisive? Give me a break.

She's going to win this one way or another, even if she has to win dirty.”

“he was Hoover's VP”

“Wow, that is witty.”
