Thank you for an open an honest answer.  As I said in the other thread, I appreciate the way you have approached looking at and weighing the issues and the candidates.

I tire of the soundbite politics that folks keep throwing around, and that can be seen in this thread and many others.  My goal as stated many times is to make folks educate themselves on the facts and backgrounds of all the people running, and then make an informed decision.

How many people that have participated in this thread do you think could name, a piece of legislation that any of the involved candidates has written, voted for, against, or anything specific about what they have done in their chosen careers?

I do agree, the question I asked here was a modified one, hoping that it opened it up to be answered.

Thank you again for taking the time to answer a simple question.

I wish you well,
Thadius

If Palin becomes President, I might consider moving to Canada. 
I will need KittnSol to help teach me French.

I have no issue with anything  I said at all Alumbrado, my issue is with things you so recklessly infer that I may have meant in what I said. See the difference? You are a smart guy, try to.

Hurry on over to the new thread about the Daily Kos article on the Palin "scandal." Go spank them too will you? How dare they post such tabloid fodder?


Do you even have a clue as to the difference beteeen 'infer' and 'imply'? 


You said that the piece on Palin was a pertinent list of her shortcomings to hold office... now you've tried to claim it was actually a biographical piece.   Then you trotted out the Daily Kos trash piece and announced 'fair game' on the offspring...

I'm not inferring or implying anything, I'm calling BS, it was political mudslinging, plain and simple.

And as others have pointed out, this may be great good fun for some, but there is something wrong with supporting any side with deliberate mudslinging.

In this case, a piece of writing containing information of a potential VP's biographical information that the reader may or may not perceive as relevant, one article is two things: a list of shortcomings AND a biographical piece.

problem solved. now please quit trying to insult people. it's getting old.

Yes, she is fair game, politics is dirty, and you are no stranger to mudslinging and certainly not a stranger to baiting. You know exactly what you do, and I have to say, thankfully, so do most people that engage with you, whether by choice or not.  You are most assuredly *not* worth a mod spanking though, so peace out.

Hi all,

Not looking to pick a fight here---honest question.

Given all the rhetoric about being "ready" to lead and to command the armed forces----

Does anyone believe Sarah Palin is "ready" to be Commander in Chief?

And if so, please explain why. I would truly like to understand the reasoning.

Thank you.


You gotta be fucking kidding me?????

SOCK Puppets have been running this country since I was a fucking pup!

And I'm 50 Motherfucking years old!

Truly....you're fucking with me?  You ask that the chic that shook the fuck out of Alaska's old boy network....and rocked it until it begged for mercy.....

You're wondering if this chic can run the country?

And Bush?

(Sorry....did I miss something?)

Did you read it?

It was a post on a forum, with a faked link to its supposed source, that turned out to not contain those words at all... it was someone's partisan opinion, not a biography of any sort, and it was just one of many 'innocent' mentions of Palin's family since her selection.

If being skeptical and calling BS is 'insulting people' to you, you are in for a rocky ride... feel free to make yourself be insulted as much as you want though.

I do, in common usage they are both taken to mean 'to suggest'.

I grabbed up a dictionary, and been like that since the early 1500s.

To be sure, it is more correct to suppose that you (for example) would imply something and I might infer something as a result. So, they are opposite sides of the same coin, really.


Ok, enough of this shit....anybody got a hankerin to give me a blowjob?  Or should I just go to bed?

You need to write fiction. Seriously. With an emphasis on martyrdom and drama.

Now you are just resorting to outright lying... I do not engage in this sort of partisan mudslinging, and have in fact been critical of it from anyone who employs it, and you know that. Pretty sad of you to have to stoop so low as to make that up.

Status: offline 		AL-Aynne actually re-posted the original link, as I recall, and apologized for the confusion.

Even if someone presents verified information in a piece of writing in a non-partisan way, you as the reader immediately interpret it based on your own value system.  The link i clicked on-the corrected link, not the first incorrect one-told me a lot of things i'd like to investigate regarding a candidate i know the least about. 

And truly AL, you being skeptical and calling BS is your prerogative. I am not insulted by your posts. In large part, I'm confused about why you are so invested in 'beating a dead horse', as it were.  Your 'calling out' of other people is really just you throwing your same opinion out over and over, without ever presenting new information. 

Of course, you may decide to reply to my response here, but unless there is new information being presented, i promise this will be the last you read from me on this thread.

Be well,

rawk

If, as you claim, I've stated my 'same opinion' over and over, you should have no trouble providing a direct link to exactly what 'side' you think I'm on.

OK, how about this as a compromise?

Let's say that Cheney takes her out grouse hunting in Texas, and she shoots him dead in the goddamn face?  Then she would have as much military experience as the current Vice President.  Kinda get the old boots on the ground sort of thing.  And if she actually shows up, she will have more hands-on experience than the current president of the United States.

Everybody ok with that?  Will that resolve the experience issue?

i wasn't referring to your opinion on the candidates, AL, i was referring to your ill words toward other people posting in this thread.

it's not even about sides, AL-it's about the fact that you are taking all of this WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. 

Be well,
