Anna

Thank you for responding. I do not hate anyone. I have a sister in prison. She has done many wrong things (at least according to the law), but I do not hate her. None the less, she has done many wrong things. There are many things that people do that I do not condone. There are many things that people do that I believe should not be tolerated by society (i.e. they should be prohibited by law) or condoned. I have taught my children that those things are wrong, and that they should not do them. That does not mean that I hate people that do them. Neither do my children (now grown and in college).

Let me ask you a question. Is there anything that a person can do (aside from killing, stealing, etc), that you consider unacceptable or wrong?

Let me know,

Poco

Your mind is clouded with rage. That's too bad. We might have had some meaningful discussion.

Goodbye,

No form of marriage is a right.

I repeat:

No form of marriage is a right.

The pursuit of happiness is a right, but that does not mean all forms of what all people call "the pursuit of happiness" (i.e. I may find happines in killing other people) is a right, only acceptable forms of "happiness" What's acceptable? That is up to society to decide, but not just you and not just me. It is up to society in general. Get used to it.

It is downright sad that most everyone these days think that they have a "right" to everything.

Read it again. It ain't in there.

Anabella

You must hate an awful lot of people, because you have said that an awful lot of people do things that you think are wrong. This is true, and not speculative, because you stated that I hate because I also think that some things are wrong.

Anabella, look in the mirror. You are the hater.

I really have to go now.

It's been interesting today.

Original article: Howard Dean, vindicated

It's obvious

by these responses that many of you think that Dean and/or liberals won this election. How wrong you are! Conservatives won this election. I know because I am a conservative (A Crunchy, to be exact), and I pay attention to what conservatives are doing. Many either purposely voted against the republicans by voting democrat (something I could not do myself... Hmmm, who to vote for, Hitler or Stalin? So I voted independent), or did not vote at all. But they didn't do it because the democrats are any better! My gosh what an idiotic concept. They did it to remind the pols of just who keeps them in office. You can pretend that this isn't so, but that would be so... so typically liberal. Don't be stupid.

This was a deliberate act by lots of disgusted conservatives. What better way to wake up the country than by having the self proclaimed socialists in power for a while. The republicans are socialists too (but they lie about it), but they now see that this costs them their power. If any of you think that repubs will regain their power by becoming even more socialist, well, get a grip. That ain't gonna happen. It will be funny to see crackpots like Dean, Pelosi, and the rest of the "rainbow coalition" begin devouring themselves. You know it will happen. History has a way of repeating itself.

If you think George Allen was bad, wait till you get a load of Webb! Man did the dems get suckered on that one! I am so glad that I do not align myself with these pathetic political parties. They play you folks like a violin. They ring the bell and you salivate.

Best wishes for a fun political year,

Poco

P.S. I notice that all of the complaints about rigged elections and faulty voting machines just evaporated after the dems won. Funny how that one little fact "fixed" so many problems.

The republicans

were thrown out by conservatives not because of the war, but because they are becoming socialists. The acted too much like democrats, and if it's one thing that conservatives cannot stomach, even less than a self proclaimed socialist/democrat, is a republican that lies about being a socialist/democrat. The democrat voters had less to do with the outcome of this election that the conservative voters did.

If you think that George Allen was bad, wait till you get a load of Webb. Wooo Hoo! Every bit as "conservative" and ten times the chauvinist.

Original article: Howard Dean, vindicated

The Medical Doctor said

"The centrists are in control again, and hopefully for once, they will be able to hold onto this power, and actually do something good for the American People."

Nancy Pelosi??

It will be a zoo, nothing less.

Original article: Bye-bye, bullies!

Bullies?

The republicans were not fired for being bullies, they were fired by conservatives for being PC socialists. Now that Pelosi has begun interfering with her own party politics, let the democrat cannibalism begin!

I am from the south

(not originally - originally from Detroit). Democrats - Please ignore the south and leave it alone. You do not need our votes. I repeat, you do not need our votes.
