Pro at least I can admit that both sides are name calling. You can't even man up and say Spit your right both sides are name calling and it is childish. Instead you have to make it even more childish by saying well you do it more then us. It's sad really.

Wow, why don't you follow your quote and pick up the pieces and start some other way.

I couldn't care less what names you folks want to call McCain, or any candidate for that matter.

What was being addressed here, are the personal attacks and name calling of users on this site, and the outpouring of hatred towards the site users, not the candidates.

But as usual, it gets twisted completely away from the correct subject, again without any substance.

I think I heard the bell ring, recess is over now.

Don't worry a few of you are just a little too serious and hostile for me... I think You can all keep your opinions and you'll be happy to know as a new user, I think I will stay away from most of you on this board..
You don't scare me or anything, you just seem very hostile...

Are there any happy sites? Forget it don't answer that... I don't want to know, I'll find them myself.

I assumed we were talking about calling the candidates names (we all know what happens when a person ASSumes!! ) Personal attacks on users should not be tolerated. Pro I apologize for calling you childish. Oh and when the recess bell used to ring at my school I was still in class missing recess as a punishment for being the class clown.

Wondergirl, it's the person, not the party. I have no qualms about criticizing Republicans - especially our own Gov. Goodhair Perry.

Actually, they are all fun people as long as you don't talk religion or politics with them.

Reesetess, Wondergirl is correct. As much as we argue about politics and religion Pro and Tom give great advice on this site and I respect their advice very much on other subjects. Don't get discouraged because of the jabs we take at each other on the political topics. This site and ALL the people on it are caring and kind when it comes to giving real advice. And there are a lot of users who do not post in the political topic's that are pure sweethearts. I should have listened to my grandfather who said never discuss religion or politics with people.

speechlesstx · Jul 16, 2008, 01:18 PM

Back to the original post, Steve and Cokie Roberts believe “English only” proposals are "mean-spirited measures designed to punish new Americans." Hogwash.

reesetess · Jul 16, 2008, 01:19 PM

Well thanks Wondergirl, I would have to agree with you on that, they are hot topics...
I'm sure everyone is nice, I just get tired of arguing. I found myself getting pulled in.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. But I also apologize for any needless words I may have said. I was really just doing it in fun, I am quite a Sarcastic Person...

So thanks everyone for an interesting afternoon... Though I am behind Obama. I just can't see having McCain for our president. And that;s my opinion... God Bless you all.

At least TWO of us will be voting for Obama, reesetess. And I suspect there will be a few more besides you and me. :D

Whenever I feel pulled in, I get off the computer and go into the kitchen to find a snack. Hmmm. Wait a minute! This is not good!

We need to get back to fundamentals; I doubt Obama could be elected as Republican anywhere, including New York, Maine, Washington, or Oregon.

Squinch your eyes real tight shut and imagine Obama is the Republican nominee. Republicans would be proud of his thespian skills, his beautiful family, his desire to encourage individualism and self-respect, his comfort with all types of people, his religious values.

Wondergirl · Jul 16, 2008, 01:55 PM

George_1950 agrees: Such a conservative notion.

*cough*

Well, I AM a Republican...

I have no doubt that the Republican Party will be represented by a black man or woman of substance who is electable, unlike Mr. Obama. Now, Ms. Wondergirl, may I have a cite for Obama's encouragement of individualism, without redefining the meaning of the word? That really is the point at which the political parties diverge.

Actually that sounded like a fine idea, I have shrimp in the fridge, I grew up in chicago, nice place, you're lucky.
