wait...you think just becuase the dow goes up, the economy is "picking up"...lol...ok then...

and actually...mccain looked desperate to me in the debates...i'm not certain that he won...

Whew...that was a mouthful...

I hope you feel superior, now...

Wow...this thread has spun wildly out of control...I am not going to resort to name calling or tantrums...however, I have to admit that I'm pretty sick of James' take on things and its ever present existance in this section of the site.

It's quite obvious which side your on...you could tell in many ways. First, this newswire section consists of more articles slamming Obama and pulling up dirt on him than any other candidate/candidate supporters (Biden, Palin, McCain). Second, you could read a single one of your posts in this section...it's quite clear where you stand.  It's also quite clear that you dislike liberals, or democrats...or whatever you wanna call 'em (please avoid addressing this single line of text, if you choose to respond, respond to the whole thing).

Fact is...you're a moderator on this site. You're posts over the past month or so (since I've been paying attention) and probably longer are more than "just the facts" or "for your information" type posts. Just because you get an article from a reputable source doesn't mean you've done your job. You spin any article you can in a negative light.

You're hardly using this privilege as a conversational tool...you're using it to voice your own agenda. That's cool, I guess...but like I said before, you're a mod here...you have more of a responsibility than any of us make sure things are flowing along smoothly, not start fires and add gasolene to them.

No one is saying you can't speak your mind, but for christ sake censor yourself just a little. Two things you should never talk about in life are religion and politics...but if you're going to...be respectful and use some tact.

Discussions are one thing, throwing dirt around is another.

"I'm still in shock the Republicans forced her upon McCain instead of his original choice, Sen. Joe Leiberman."

I do not see how anyone could support this kind of behavior. Joe Leibermann has slapped the faces of everyone that has ever voted for him and will not return to office. You cannot promote that behavior...whether you're on the side he's crossed to or not. He's proven he'll turn on anyone if it's convinient.

Showing up at the RNC was a bitch slap right to everyone that ever voted for him and his entire party. The Republicans used him like a tool or a puppet and now will cast him out into nothingness once the elections is over.

yeah...YEAH...fuckin' liberals...why i oughta...back in 68...blah blah blah
