Obama: 'If I am not ready, why do you think I would be such a great vice president?'

[Alex+R 0]

I've been googling with no luck for something about how to deal with people who thrive on conflict to the point that agreeing on anything is distasteful. I'm sure Steven has something in his self-help arsenal. Where's Steven when you need him?

One of Obama's "present" votes was on 1999 legislation that would have required teens 15 and older to be tried as adults for firing weapons on or near school grounds. He was among five African-American senators voting present.On the abortion bills, legislators who supported women's rights to the procedure were encouraged to vote "present" on bills that would have required parental notice before minors could obtain abortions and that would have barred what abortion foes call "partial-birth" abortions, a leading abortion-rights advocate said. The goal was to entice moderate Republicans and Democrats to also vote present, helping to defeat the bills.

If that's not implied racism, I don't know what is.

RJ, I didn't write that.

No kidding!!

So why are you implying racism in connection with MY name? I find that highly offensive.

By posting other peoples opinions as your arugment, you do imply that you support that persons positions.

If you don't like that, start writing your own opinions. Than we can have a real political discussion rather than just proxy arguments.

I posted it to show he votes present when it suits him. You know, a fact to back up a point, that's how it works!

That post is quite ridiculous and quite possibly violates a TOS.

That post is just fairplay. I guess accusing a person of sexism is somehow more tolerable than racism?

it sure seems so.

You really believe this pot needs another stir?

This is so ugly.

When I read these threads I just feel really awful about people in general.

I mean obviously some posters are more rancorous, mean-spirited and generally unpleasant in most ways than others, but for the most part, this is just icky to read.

So don't?

Sometimes I suspect Alex is into S&M.

don't tease me like that.

Are you just bopping in and out of this party?

Charles likes to sit in the back of the theater quietly so that he can "enjoy" himself.

Isn't that what pervs do at the adult cinema?

O c'mon we need more consistent snideness

Maybe it will liven the mood up a bit from bitterness to fairplay.

By pervs, you mean Paul Reubens, of course. Don't hate on Pee Wee. He was lonely.
