i was flipping through the channels a few minutes ago and landed on CNN, you wouldnt believe how many people called the show in support of dumping our Democratic way of life and changing it to a Socialist Government . They were saying that the middle class needs to get stronger and how medicine and the schools need to be governmentally regulated ( shades of Carl Marx ) , dont these fools know there is no middle class in a Socialist Government just go ask a Russian how well The Soviet Union preserved the middle class . There are some scary people in this country
hmm.. I would have to say.. unlike Political figures during election times..
people here are not exempt from slander or libel so what is said should be watched, yes they can accuse each other of all kinds of things while running a campaign.. and they can totally get away with it… even if it’s not true
but here on this public forum.. if anyone happens to see something they don’t like said about any one person or party.. it can cause a big mess..
and everyone should keep in mind.. they really can’t believe everything seen on TV…
especially when it’s paid for by certain candidates..
that being said…
most of the candidates will say anything to get elected.. it doesn’t mean they will even do any of those things when elected.. and most of the time the things they promised to do.. aren’t even in their power to do anything about..
that’s why we have 3 different branches of government… to keep any one part from having more power over the other..
it’s worked for over 200 years.. so I doubt it’s going to change any time soon…

That scares me. I wanted a president who was dedicated enough to this country to show his support for it. Barack Obama scares me, and it’s not his political plans that scare me. It’s him.
If it was McCain that was doing this, I would have voted for the other guy, but it’s Obama.Those are the same issues I had… for some reason I just don’t trust the guy. Not that McCain is much better. I just think Obama said a lot of things to get elected, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. I hope so. I agreed with more of the things Obama was for, and I honestly don’t like McCain at all… but it was just a scary risk I wasn’t sure if we should have taken, but the country decided and we’ll see just how honest the guy actually is. He certainly has A LOT of work ahead of him.
I think just about everyone has had it with the way things have been running the past 4 years with the economy, the war, and hundreds of other things. Most people wanted a change more so over paying attention to the really important issues at hand so I have to admit, I’m a little scared too, but with McCain things would keep on going like they’ve been. With Obama it feels like we have a shot for things to get better….. but the scary part is they could get much worse 😯

I didn’t take that from commercials. There is proof of it. I’m not one to believe everything I hear, and I get that from years of experience. Please don’t assume I don’t know what I am talking about. Thanks.
Okay, we’re all friends here 😀 Let’s not start getting angry with eachother. 😉

again.. general comment… but also.. it goes a long way in just saying..
watch what you type.. anyone can see it..
and I know Jennifer and others at Windstone have said it as well..
and trust me if I didn’t think you knew what you were talking about.. I would say it..
everyone knows I say what I think..
so that leads to the part where I have to remind everyone to not take things personally, everyone has their own opinions.. and each has its own value..
I think that’s been mentioned by the Windstone staff as well
Admittedly true, we did not have a deficit with Clinton was in office.
However.
Who was it that signed that bill making it illegal for banks to not put money into high-risk loans…? You know. Something that we are paying for now because everyone was spending money they really didn’t have…? *scratches her head*
Oh… right. That was Clinton.
Look a bit farther that just the immediate when making judgments like that. It is rarely ever the doing of one person.
Dark_Zorse, testing if anyone reads this thing, so I am off to mud-wrestle with nile crocodiles!
What’s done is done. Happy or displeased- that is your choice and you are entitled to it. But it’s done now, so we all need to take a step forward together, because quite frankly, the United We Stand bit is there for a reason.
What can we do? Be supportive of one another. No one man (or woman) runs this country. Not that I think our government is in good shape these days, but bickering is a quick way to let off steam and get nothing at all done. So here’s what we do- support each other. Watch what happens next. Watch the legislation and bills put forward, and if you disagree with them, be heard! Write to your congress and senate persons! This is where we make an even bigger difference than when we vote for President. Most folks get fired up about the election, then ignore the things that truly change our country, which is the legislation that goes into place afterward. If you want to make a difference, stay on top of that and be heard.
Booing and hissing is poor form. Why bother? You’re displeased and that’s fine, but yelling ‘you suck!’ at either party only generates a lot of negativity which isn’t gonna help too much.

Considering how elections can and have gone in other countries (*coughAfricacough*), booing and hissing on an internet board is probably the least of poor form we could worry about. And like you said, it’s letting off steam. Constructively is arguable… some form of approval or disapproval is not totally unwarranted – it’s politics, after all. Ultimately, this won’t change my schedule, friends, or activities today. However… I may have a different opinion come tax-time. We’ll see.
I have yet to meet a politician on any party that was worth trusting, much less our presidential candidates.
(This isn’t condoning bad behavior by the way. This board has been very, very tame compared to some of the other political discussions I have seen elseware concerning the presidential race.)

I’d like to think it’s because we have more sense than others. 😉

And because we have pretty shinies to coo over and admire. 😀
