@ pan6467:
The simple fact that there is so much mudslinging in T. Politics, I can't read through it fast enough to keep track of what is fact, lies, opinion, or otherwise.

His OP read exactly to me and others, "What will be the best way to fool democracy come November?"

I don't agree with the premise, voting Democrat and "pulling the lever for the person most likely to be defeatable in Nov." but that is his choice. It's a legitimate question and something that happens frequently in politics so it is nothing new. So why not allow Conservatives to answer his question and leave it alone?
Are we not allowed to show our outrage? I thought that was one of our rights and duties in a republic/democracy.


Quote:
Why? Because you didn't like his question so you had to blow it out of the water with attacks and ways to change the OP's subject? That's just ego there and taking away a legitimate question and a man's right to openly express himself.
Ego... yeah I agree with that. Still, he doesn't have to respond to the answers he doesn't like.[/quote]I responded to his OP, in a manner more sarcastic that I needed to, which I will apologize for after completing this post. But, my opinions of that thread still exist.


Quote:
Ahhh but there's the rub, some will argue that he shouldn't have posted in a public forum. Why? this is supposedly a community of friends and family, why should he not be able to ask his question unprovoked or harassed?
So far, the only parts of this forum that are off limits to other members would be ... the Ladies Lounge.


Quote:
But why? Are you so insecure in your beliefs that you have to attack others beliefs?
Yes. I find something that makes me or I think is wrong, I stand up. If I am wrong, I apologize.
