How long do you think it will be before this thread is hijacked?

[Double L]

I don't know as long we don't get into politics we'll be alright. :wink: After all that was what took over the last one.

[Roadhog]

wait for it...wait for it... :?

[Roadhog]

not yet...steady....hold...HOLD.... :shock:

[wildkat]

That's ok Larry, nobody was interested enough to ask any of me...works for me, I hate answering questions about myself!

Here's mine....

Why do you think it was politics that got them going? Are your political views "way out there" or did they just decide to torment you?

[Double L]

I think it's cause I'm an Obama supporter, I look at it like this I don't see Obama as a "career politician" he is a new face unlike McCain who is a "career politician". Honestly I don't it's so much his change speechs that are attracting voters but the fact that like I said before he is a new face and I believe he makes alot of American's especially blacks including me feel proud of how far we came along as a country to unite as one and over come racism. There are some idiots out there who think race matters but their just ignorant! I also feel alot of people took what Michelle Obama said about she is proud to be American for the first time way out of context. I feel what she is saying is she is proud to be an American cause like I said earlier how we are finally coming together to the point to where we'll possibly have a black President.

More than a trillion dollars in new taxes, 25% growth in government, draconian rules to follow before being allowed to see a Dr. for anything, doubling foreign aid, sending even more troops all over the world for 'peacekeeping'... etc...

These are things you are looking forward to?

[Double L]

As of right now I refuse to answer questions that have anything to do with politics! This thread isn't getting hijacked again!

Not trying to hijack the thread, I'm truly curious if you think those things would be good for this country and the economy?

Or, would your vote be simply because of the guys skin color?

[ordinaryguy]

someone threw the race card heh....

[Double L]

Partly it's cause he is black. If you was in my shoes as a black man you'd be proud too if you had the chance to vote for a black president for the first time. But the big reason I'm voting for him I just want a new fresh face in office, I thought we was trying to get away from "career politicians"? How do you know he'll raise taxes and all that stuff that you said? The right wing conservatives feeding the BS too just like the left wing liberals do. We really don't know who is the right choice for the job but I will say this whoever the next President maybe they got their hands full thats for sure.

Was responding to this statement, not throwing the race card at all.

The question is a valid one.

[SilverWulf]

Absolutely not, skin color means nothing. I'd vote for Powell, Rice, or Thomas in a heartbeat.

But the big reason I'm voting for him I just want a new fresh face in office, I thought we was trying to get away from "career politicians"?

Choosing Biden as a running mate proves that he has no interest at all in 'change'.

How do you know he'll raise taxes and all that stuff that you said?

Because that is what he promises to do on his OWN WEBSITE!!!

[Double L]

Well your not changing my mind! Next question please!

[Jumbo]

O.K. LL here is a question not about politics just to help you out. Peanut butter CRUNCHY or CREAMY? And what flavor jam?

[SilverWulf]

Well your not changing my mind! Next question please!

Amazing, simply amazing.

[Syncrosonix]

[Double L]

Jumbo-Crunchy and Strawberry

Syncrosonix-Michael Jackson

Ok GUYS...HOLD ON...hold on

I don't normally wade into political discussions...for one mine are my own business & I've learned the hard way...there are 2 things one doesn't discuss...politics & religion...unless you want to start a fight!

Larry..word to the wise... you are young, you've got the whole world ahead of you. Unfortuneately you have been raised to think that the gov't can "fix" anything. But, old timers like me & many others on here KNOW it just doesn't work that way unless taxes get raised through the roof...how do you think all the new spending programs are going to be paid for? The money has to come from somewhere.

Let me give you a small example... I live in Alberta, we have had a conservative gov't in this province since before I was old enough to vote..that was back in the 70's :wink: Anyway, we are the ONLY province in Canada that is debt free, we have no provincial sales tax & our provincial income tax is almost non-exhistant. Sure there are some things that could be changed, but on the whole we believe in doing things for ourselves & the more the "liberals" whine about the lack of social programs the less seats they win in each upcoming election. Generally, we can't stand government, they are a necessary evil & the less they poke in our lives the better.

So think REALLY REALLY hard about where your country will go if you have your taxes doubled.

I can tell you some pure horror stories about medicare & all that but it's not worth getting into here. Suffice to say it's a poor system, & if anyone up here wants really good health care & can afford to pay for it, want to take a wild guess where they go? Yup, you got it...down south, to the US!

And, since a) I am not black & b) I "think" , at least the ones I know tell me, we don't have near the black/white issues you have down there I simply can't comment on the color issues. I was raised pretty "color-blind" & I truly don't care what color a person is...cause to me color is just that, it has no bearing on what is "inside". Black, white, green or orange...who cares?

Sorry to hijack your thread & to ramble on...just my 2 bits worth! :wink:
