threads and posts being erased

[Smiling JOe]

Andy A, from my perspective, most of the political stuff I am reading is mere regurgitation of national "news," and rarely do I read a post in those forums which actually share one's personal thoughts of the real news. Mostly, people just grab hold to whatever the media claims to be news. If there were solely real people's thoughts on a topic, the politics forum would be different.

Someone commented about the cut and paste of "news." I agree that if one is going to use a source, only a snip-it should be posted here, with a link to the article. In addition to the snip-it, I think that the poster should post his or her thoughts about the article. If everyone did that, the political forum would be elevated quite a bit. Tell me what you think, not what you have been told.

Basically, regurgitation of what people call national news, is nothing interesting to me, and I can find all of those stories anywhere on the web, TV or newspapers. Give me interesting, new, or personal thoughts on stories or beliefs, and I will be the biggest supporter of an outside-SoWal political forum.

Mtlinscomb I want to know what was your real purpose of posting this link. Was it about abortion? I truly doubt that rep. from MI can just pick up the phone and get the president's ear like he stated so casually.

Sorry for the fast response to see post #5, but I had something to attend to. I've tried on 2 occasions now to draw attention to Bart Stupak and his group of 40 like minded pro-life Democrats that have pledged to kill the HC Bill unless definitive language is added that outlaws Fed dollars for abortion. The first thread was highlighting the story itself. The second thread included this sound byte describing the smoke and mirrors trick our President is playing, per Mr. Stupak, on the American people. In both instances I've been urinated on like a religious painting in Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, but I have thick skin and could care less. Though I disagree with the HC plan, I posted both threads for those who are hoping for the plan to pass as this story has only appeared in a tiny sliver of the media - big surprise. If you would like to read more about this in an article covering Steny Hoyer and Bob Stupak trying to work towards an agreement, it can be found here: CNSNews.com - Hoyer Tries to Appease Stupak on Abortion Funding in Health Care Bill; Stupak Stands by Vow to Kill Bill If No Vote on His Pro-Life Amendment
Without these 40 votes the plan is dead. All the back and forth discussion that has been happening in this forum about HC will mean jack squat if this issue isn't agreed upon. Again, I apologize for wasting everyone's time.

I suggest you slow down and be a little more respectful and less hostile. If you don't have time to post thoughtfully, it's probably best not to post at all. Unless you remove the chip from your shoulder, you will not make any headway with anyone except those that think exactly as you do.

A meeting of the minds requires patience and tolerance above all else.

You have the same ability to use the report post feature as everyone else. That is preferred, and more effective, than playing the victim and pointing fingers after the fact.

Oh I can relate to that one.

What would be the odds the same poster was involved not saying it is but would not surprise me? I have no idea but seems some are allowed plenty of latitude where others are called out for less. Just my observation. As for chips being left behind, I could not more agree. How about the Gang Drive byes? What about removing post that are attacking the posters? You guys know, Like JACKASS etc? What degree is needed to see a post with JUST THAT as forward moving or productive? Just asking. Also I see MODERATORS titles on some of these comments. Just saying...

And to SJ why even post here if you feel the way you do? What other then adding another post count do you get from it? Just saying.

I post here to help share the prospective of what I think and enjoy sharing it. I am mature enough to understand that there will be those that agree and others that don't. However the Gang all joins hands and jump in on a poster when one gets slapped back. They distract from the original thread with smart little snippets and high fiving each other.

I am thankful to the person or persons whom have provided this forum. I find it useful and entertaining.

Has nothing to do with where one lives who they are or how long they have been here. The important thing is we are ALL here and that is the golden egg in my opinion.

Thanks and see you around in the forums!

does god forgive the obama zombies?

No, God doesn't need to because there is no such thing as a zombie. They are a man made concept created to scare people into behaving a certain way. But because so many people have believed in zombies over time there is still a large number who believe in zombies. Er, wait. Maybe I mean God. I get confused...

Well said, Mr. Beanstalk. Your candor is much appreciated.

The crux of the matter. You don't like the political slant of this board.
