worst mistake McCain made. Oh my..... I do hope that was tongue in cheek.....
Popular Vote Obama =48,412,381 (51%) McCain = 44,965,528 (48%)
Actually the numbers were pretty close.........damn close.......to even suggest McCain made a mistake..... not to mention his worst mistake.......is highly inaccurate ..... which was reflected by the liberal media after the election calling Obama`s (huge) win a "mandate" for change...... lol | |

Little? Oh, my, I do hope that was tongue in cheek. Too often Sarah P did worse on answers than those Leno would ask questions of on the street. I don't want those street people in federal congress or presidency either. Then again, maybe it is those who fail Leno's street questions that can't seem to figure out that being more internationally informed than Sarah P is essential to the role. Can't figure out that she is totally unqualified for the job. worst mistake McCain made.
Let's see, didn't BO mistakinly thank that Fed Ex and UPS were government run? That's just one example of many for him. Everyone makes mistakes. Even you. | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 7:09:40 AM | I did not think my analogy about controlling the penis to stop rape was silly at all. Funny, yes, but not silly. I was just trying to make the point that with every crime, no matter what the instrument that is used in the perpetration of that crime, the problem is not with the weapon or instrument. The problem is in the minds of the sickos who commit the crimes
Wrong wrong wrong.
First of all, nobody thinks a gun or a penis jumps up and commits a crime, that statement was ignorant and ridiculous and not even a little bit funny. Second, the problem is the saturation of guns in this country. Is a 5 year old child accountable for shooting his little friend. NO. his moron, gun toting parents are.
You simply do not get it.
And lastly, if you really do teach financial planning, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out how to you the quote function. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 7:14:19 AM | Since you feel that strongly...... why don`t you sneak into my parents or my house tonight....I`ll keep the window unlocked.......be real sneaky.... but do come in.... don`t climb in backwards though... make sure you are facing forward....... and make sure it is after midnight........ My parents or I will have a little surprise for you......
Sigh.
There's some real ding-a-lings posting on this forum. | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 7:59:04 AM | | So you think there is an epidemic of kids using their parents guns? What world do you live in? Those are isolated incidents and very rare. Hysteria rules over logic far too often. | |

Is a 5 year old child accountable for shooting his little friend. NO. his moron, gun toting parents are. You are right that the parents are to be held accountable for not being responsible gun owners. 5 year olds occasionally get into their parent's cars and back over their baby sister, too. Do we take away the right to own a car or park it in the driveway because some parent failed to lock their car, put the keys away or supervise their child?
I do not have small children around any more. Why should my Constitutional Rights be curbed just because a few parents are irresponsible? Unwise parents have been around since the dawn of time. Your reasoning on this issue is limited and faulty.
I am curious as to why you feel the need to make your point with insults? If you have a valid point, then there is no need for the patronizing, rude comments. They do not strengthen your stand at all, but rather weaken it.
FYI: I know how to use the quote function and also know how to proofread what I write. However, I do not claim to be perfect or superior to anyone else, and sometimes I make mistakes. I allow myself (and others) that liberty as part of being human. | |

And everyone I know who is in favor of gun control is for the regulations we need to require people to be 'responsible gun owners' Not dipsy doodles like Bush's buddy who shot his hunting buddy. | |
|
| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 9:41:08 AM | How does more regulation and stricter governmental control make anyone more responsible?
Our country was founded on the principle of individual rights in order to escape oppressive governmental control. We are reverting back to the very things the founding fathers risked their lives to escape from.. | |

I notice you don't give any examples. The claim she was ignorant about S. Africa and others like it come largely from second-hand tales people in McCain's campaign who didn't like her may have made up.
I also notice you don't include Mr. Obama or Mr. Biden in you criticism. Obama has often misstated fairly basic facts--for example, he talked about Emperor Hirohito meeting General MacArthur on the deck of the Missouri when Japan signed the surrender in 1945. The two only met months later. He's shown his ignorance of lots of other facts, too, and I'd be happy to provide the details of other examples.
For his part, Biden is notorious for his misstatements of fact, which he's made by the dozens, for years. The first one that comes to mind is his claim that when the stock market crashed (in October, 1929) FDR (who first took office in March, 1933) went on television (which he never did) to address the nation. | |

Skooch who do you see as the leader of the Dems, and the leader of the progressives? | |

On the contrary, you just proved my point. That 3% of the votes that Sarah P cost him likely cost him the election. Actually you just proved my point once again concerning the election and liberal spin in general.
You assume the 3 points likely had to do with Sarah., You feel it likely had to do with Sarah but you offer no likely credible proof what so ever those 3 percentage points were likely about Sarah.
For all you know, if he did not have Sarah the spread between the popular vote could have been much higher......Sarah may have gained him 10 points, give or take...
Clearly, the only true disgrace that is going on is people making uneducated and bloviated assumptions based on their personal feelings, emotions and tunnel vision party ideology. | |

NO. his moron, gun toting parents are. Lets outlaw parents then. Make having a parent illegal since parents can legally go out and buy a gun at any time and bring it home and be irresponsible with the weapon at any time, not having parents will eliminate this potential threat and the world will be a greater place.....

Actually, I have read Bush v. Gore , but I doubt you have. It doesn't say that Bush got more votes than Gore, or even that he deserved the electoral vote in Florida. It simply established that no method of recounting could legally have been done in the required amount of time.
When the vote actually was recount using all the ballots that were controversially thrown out, Gore would have won the election, according to the Washington Post on Monday, November 12, 2001; Page A01 . | |

ZB that is a scary link! Seems that knives are usually the weapon of choice for children who want to kill. Knives are much more of a threat than guns are. There are no extra parts to worry about (like bullets), they are not complicated to operate, they are easy to carry and to conceal, and every home has several to choose from. Yup, I think we need to pass legislation outlawing knives so children and teenagers cannot have access to them. That will give us all a much safer society to live in. | |
|
| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 1:31:33 PM | | Well, all children have access to knives. Do you think children having more access to guns helps or hurts? | |
|
| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 1:51:27 PM |
Do you think children having more access to guns helps or hurts? Knowing that I have to be very careful how I reply or else I know this will be miscontrued.... I think teaching children, at probably what you consider to be very young ages, to have respect for weapons of all kinds is a good thing to do. That's not to say to allow reckless access with abandon. But by providing proper settings, education, safety training and supervision we can actually save lives. | |
|
| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 2:30:19 PM | | Good one, 04. Also, teaching children respect for human life, moral values, and the consequences for actions along with respect for weapons is the answer, not more legislation. | |
