Must you try to tie EVERY post you make to Bush? I think you have a crush on him. Oh and 'pretzeldent' is a new one for me. I think I finally figured out why you never post anything outside of politics (unless it has to do with the politics board). Its very hard to tie 'my parents are getting a divorce' to 'Bush is evil', but I think you of all people could manage.
The last time that you went down the <b>"you never post anything outside politics"</b>, "road", as a substitution for an actual rebuttal of my comments, was here:

<b>Even though I posted the following, later....in response, here you go again.....why? Are you posting a belief that my arguments somehow have less "weight" or validity, because they come from me.....someone who you have determined....does not post "enough", on other forums, whatever that means?????</b>

I dunno....I guess that I'm pretty consistant...my posting frequency and continuity haven't changed much.....
On Oct., 22, 2004, I posted this:

.....Listening to Bush speak, he transformed my attitude, and I saw him
as our leader, speaking to , and for all of us, simultaneously. He was
briefly interrupting important work, but he was standing in the one place
where he could reassure the country and those who attacked us, that
he was up to the challenge of protecting us from further attacks and
of quickly making those responsible for the attacks answer for their actions.

I think that Bush is working as hard as he possibly can to do his job in
the way that he and his advisors perceive that to be.....
...and it was business as usual the other day, when I commented:

.....I lived on Manhattan on 9/11. I put aside my fuustration over the way Bush came into office after the Florida non-recount. It was uplifting to the spirit and brought hope to all of us who saw Bush speaking from atop the rubble that was, just days before, the WTC towers.

Mr. Bush lost me....I didn't lose him......
....sure, I post occasionally on other tfp forums, these examples come to mind:
July 9, 2006
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showpos...7&postcount=39 ,
on powerrclown's hitchhiking thread, in geberal discussion....

....and here.....on March 5, 2006
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showpos...postcount=1731 ,
on the "Rate the Avatar Above You" thread in "Members Playground "

....for the most part though, I'm content to be an active poster in the "tilted politics" forum. It's distasteful to participate there, according to many comments that I've read, around the forum. It is neccessary to be sure that you know what you're talking about there....that you can back up the comments that you make...otherwise, you're on display, just talking out of your @ss....and that is frustrating to some people.

it's no wonder that everyone I try to recruit to TFP runs away and wonders why I have anything to do with this dead message board. "er... because it hasn't always been dead?"
You will probably end up being the target of personal attacks on that forum; just the other day, a couple of other members posted that I was a propagandist, a "plant", insincere, disingenuous....words to that effect. No problem, for me, though.

Join us there....everyone is welcome. My advice is to never post anything at the politics forum that you are not prepared to back up. No one wants to look foolish to the rest of us, I guess a lot of people don't post there because they don't want to risk having that happen to them. Just be yourself, talk about what you know, and add something when you see that it needs to be said......did I say that you need to be ready to support your points?
