Most people know that there's a few things you don't discuss on a public forum; Religion, Politics & Money. Strong opinions are the result. No personal attacks & try to keep the thread on track folks.

You are totally allowed to disagree. It's pretty obvious you disagree. That's fine. You don't accept the reasons that others give, and that's fine too, that's what is great about this country.
The problem is that you just dismiss the reasons that people give as "sensationalism" (word?) or being "dramatic".
Why are you working your arse off for U4? People aren't really trying to close trails, you're just being dramatic. There's no real threat from SUWA, your reaction to them is over the top sensationalism.

Just to make sure you didn't miss it, this is what I was talking about. You're missing the entire point of what I was talking about.
I guess I started this, and frankly I'm glad I did.
First, opinions are welcome, back stabbing should not be. Different oppinions are what make this country great.
Second, most analysts today are pretty sure Romney will be a strong candidate in 2012. In fact one stated that it would be better for Billary to win and have 4 years of crap, the come back strong with Romney in 2012.
I also heard a couple say Romney would be a better VP decision for McCain that the Huckleberry.

Has Romney even said if he's interested in trying again in 2012? (might be a bit early, since it's only been one day)

COol, thanks for the definition, I wanted to make sure I wasn't making up a word.
Yes, I read what you were talking about. You were looking for specifics, and when people reply with reactions rather than specifics, you dismiss it as drama.
I usually dismiss reaction and subjective things like that too, going for the facts, specifics and objective analysis to figure it out for myself.
I don't remember all the specifics though, but I do remember my reaction to Clinton as a President, and at the time that reaction was due to specific actions while he was President. Getting a bj from Monica matters to me too, because he was married. If he wasn't married, hadn't made that committment, I could care less. If that's what he wants to do, divorce Hillary and get bj's from everyone. Couldn't care less.
I want my national govt to protect my freedom and national interests (and energy keeps us free)and stay out of everything else. I'll take care of home, which is what I do and why many of you haven't seen me at the U4 meetings.
The funny thing is that I line up perfectly with McCain when I take those polls and it pissed me off cuz I thought Romney would be a much better leader, and I can totally live with the things that I disagreed with Romney on.
Carry on.

I dig it. It makes a better avatar, unfortunately, than the movie. That tatoo'd hottie was pleasant though. And there was blood.
I fully endorse your imagery, it's needed and totally appropriate.
As for the rest of this thread, my GOD, people! Take a breath. I disagree with Brett's... apparent underestimation of the Clintonian damage that was done, but I'm not going to kill him over it. We could probably debate it, but it's academic at this point, Bill Clinton is not in office, and I don't think Hillary can win this election... so it's good rainy day stuff, but....
ah, anyway.

Thanks, but I got it, it was never in question. You wanted specifics and anything else was rubbish. Sorry to waste your time, I'll just go crawl in my idiot hole now since I'm clearly out of my league.
I did too. In fact I was closer to McCain and Obama than Romney. But, when you add environmental issues to the equation it pretty much knocks the Dems out.

I'll respond to the bolded part, since that effects me. The rest of of your response is perfect for this thread and the ideas and discussion that has resulted from it.
I dismissed one and only one thing, because it was exactly what I said it was, sentsationalism. Ignoring another country being nuked....well, that's over the top as I said. I didn't dismiss anything else in this thread other than that. If you can point out where I did, I'll apologize for it.
So, yes, I do get it. :brett:

Well put.
I'm not upset and I hope nobody else is. I guess I didn't realize that the Clinton "legacy" was still so open to interpretation.

And you are still missing my point entirely. You've somehow focused on the entire thread when I was talking about one and only one post. :-\

It's good to agree or disagree, it'd be boring otherwise. Clinton is done and gone, we all have our different opinion's.
I agree as well that I don't think that Hillary could win and that's fine. I don't support her.

Oh. Only one post. Yup, I thought you were talking about the whole thread.
Edit:
Just reread the thread: Still couldn't tell which post you were replying to. Sorry for the confusion. Good points though. You've given this some thought.
