Why I Think the Debate was a Draw in Politics JoeUser Forums

I know it's hard to do since most people tuned into the VP debate hoping either one or the other would do well or fall on their face. Most tuned in having plenty of preconceived notions about the nominees. But if you can put the partisanship and expectations aside, I think you would see the outcome as more of a draw. Neither looked like a fool. Both misspoke at times but there were no huge gaffes that I have heard of. But people have plenty of influences in the

I really don't care if it was 20% or .02%. There shouldn't be any kind of earmark for ACORN in there!

[quote]Dude, just have fun with it.

It certainly sounded by the way it was written that the author didn't understand that Fox was reporting there was a rumor. "Biden to Drop out According to Fox" is misleading and wrong.

Yeah, now Barney Frank and Schumer are complaining that McCain is causing harm to their bail out deal. Boo hoo! We should listen to the brain trusts who told us that Fannie & Freddie were doing great. Very respectfully Mr. Schumer, I think you should be told to get out of town!

Dems trying to give ACORN a piece of the Bail Out in Politics JoeUser Forums

There is so much spin around the whole bail out deal it's dizzying! The Dems tried (and largely succeeded) to convince people that they had a deal done until McCain brought it to a screaching halt. That has been debunked but after hearing about some of the earmarks the Dems are trying to put in their "deal", I would call McCain a hero if he had thrown a wrench in the works. One of the most scary provisions was a 20% earmark for ACORN (if you don't know what ACORN is,

Reply to Happily Ever After.....a fairy tale? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

To qualify, the reason why I don't agree with there being a lot of selflessness is because if you feel you are sacrificing too much, you will begin to resent and that never ends in Happily Ever After. In order to have a successful Until Death do you Part marriage, both people have to be getting satisfaction from being with each other. If one or the other feels they are compromising all the time (having to be selfless) then they will end up not feeling satisfied with the marriage.<

[quote] "happily ever after" takes lots of work, hard work, and love, and caring, and selflessness, with a bit of selfishness tossed in too, but lots of selflessness! [/quote] I agree with most of what you're saying but I have never agreed with the hard work and selflessness idea of being the only way to make a marriage work. Every couple has their moments when they are upset with each other. You can't have passion without anger. But if you are true to yourself and your sign

[quote]I saw reports on the new that seem to show that maybe if we hold back a bit on this "bailout" that the markets may actually correct themselves.

Have you seen what happens to the stock exchange when they hint one way or another on the bailout? If we hold back then confidence in our system will be lost, people will make a run on their banks, our dollar

It looks like he did get straightened out either on his own or by his handlers and the debate is set to go on as planned tomorrow. I'm betting they'll set some record viewing on the upcoming debates. Should be interesting!

[quote]sounds like a wild rumor to me[/quote] Duh! Did you not read the title of the article? It said "RUMOR thrives on internet". FOX didn't report that Biden was going to drop out. They reported that there are popular rumors that he will. What was the point of this blog? Were you trying to discredit FOX because you lack reading comprehension?

Reply to Smart Move, McCain in Politics Stardock Forums

I just don't see why the debate needs to be forgone and I especially think that suggesting it be reschedule in the stead of the VP debates is highly suspect. I'm behind the idea of doing his job and helping as much as he can to get a better solution for the financial crisis but I still don't see why he can't show up for the debate and I especially don't think they should replace the VP debate.

[quote]I think it's fine for McCain to make this financial crisis his number one priority but I do think he should still participate in the scheduled debate. [/quote] That's where I stand on it. Like Obama said, they can get you from D.C. to Mississippi pretty quickly. The part that I thought was the biggest "dumbass" suggestion was to reschedule the presidential debate to take place the time slot now designated for the VP debate. This looks like they are trying to guard Pal

Political Suicide? in Politics JoeUser Forums

McCain just announced that he is postponing his campaign, most importantly, including the presidential debate slated for Friday, in order to go back to Washington and do what he can to help find a solution to the major financial crisis. He says that he would rather lose an election than not do what he can for the country. He just might indeed lose the election in my opinion. What about all the people who have been planning and investing in the debate that is now

Anthony R, Obama excused the whole buying a house along with Rezko's wife as a "boneheaded idea" and that he's going to make "mistakes". Anyone who claims to have a "good feeling" about Obama really needs to take a closer look at this guy. Sure, he's good looking and can speak well. He's good at making excuses and covering things up too.

That has got to suck hard! Not having water or refrigeration, can't do it! My parents are old school farm community people so I can always go to their house for generator convenience whenever we have lengthy power outages. We haven't gone a significant amount of time without power since the blackout a few summers back. Hope things improve big time pronto!
