while rereading the entire thread, i suddenly realized what i intended solely as praise for gene might could also be perceived as a slam at daiwa. while i appreciate shades' exasperation at what prolly struck her as the most recent in a seeming neverending litany of cliched jabs, i gotta admit i found dauwa's comment amusingly in

Gee, I would've said the same thing about Khaine (and did, actually). And, to be honest here, I did say the same thing about Kilgore. Fair enough--my point was rather that I don't think that there is a correlation between Washington and VA--just a correlation between how many voters like the candidate a

Didn't you used to post as "super liberal?" And now you want to end some liberal regime? Seems to me that you are politically schizophrenic.

Dear Lord--couldn't it simply be that Jerry Kilgore was scummy, creepy and the worst kind of politician out there. I know several very conservative Republicans who wanted nothing to do with his kind, and so they just didn't vote. You can't win elections when you alienate your voters. Kilgore personified all that is wrong with politics--I'm glad that the voters of VA were smart enough not to elect him!

Reply to Unhappy with Republicans, disgusted with Democrats in Republican JoeUser Forums

Now before I get a bunch of nasty comments about the above. Let me be very clear -- MOST people are not very political. Even if you tend to vote for Republicans or Democrats that doesn't make you particularly political. We're talking the 10% of the public that is deeply political. You probably wouldn't get nasty comments if you didn't make such

Congrats! Just think of what a utter cool Gran you will be--you will be young enough to have loads of precious moments with your grandbaby, and he will most likely adore you to bits. I wouldn't worry about the sneer-ers--they are just jealous

Reply to I am the WORST Mother in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Europe does many things wrong, but I believe we have fewer teen pregnancies than the US, and more easily accessible pornography. Most studies these days would say that the difference between teen pregancy rates in Europe and the US have to do with poverty levels among the teens. US teen pregnancy rates

I should have corrected shades, but she was on a horse! Wow. I think I will remove myself from this conversation now. Wouldn't want to fall off that horse that I'm on.

I am not a Catholic basher. I'll agree to disagree with you on this one. I apologize if you thought I was attacking you--it wasn't my intention.

Reply to Michael Schiavo Endorses Tim Kaine in Politics JoeUser Forums

Which given that Kaine is Catholic, I wonder why he supports abortion, and not the death penalty? If it was really a religious thing, he would be against both. Being catholic, pro-choice and against the death penalty myself, I would argue that you are mistaken. The catholic church has flip flopped its

Reply to Michael Schiavo Endorses Tim Kaine in Politics JoeUser Forums

I have already made my choice clear. As soon as they branded Kaine, Warner II, I decided to vote for Kilgore. I really dont have strong feelings for either, but that tipped the scales for me. Really, cause when Kilgore starting going after Kaine's religious beliefs I was pretty much disgusted. Each t

Is there a planned parenthood clinic near you? They have a test that will tell you if you are pregnant ten days after having sex, and it only costs $10. Hope you get the news you want!

Reply to Michael Schiavo Endorses Tim Kaine in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm not sure why Michael Schiavo feels the need to "endorse" anyone (particulary as a non-VA citizen). Seems a little strange to me. That said, I have a funny feeling you, LW and I will not be voting for the same candidate on election day.
