CJY...I know the feeling. Count me in. No more politics on this board for me. No more as in no mo'!

PW2...Even in agreement with CJY' feelings, did you have to launch a less-than-vague strike? "one side has only...."

Gee, I think I'll take the next six to eight weeks to ponder what "side" you are referring to in that statement.

JB, I fear the baby might be out of the bath already. This board is typical of the people in our country today. Never since VietNam has our country been so divided. Leadership to unite is needed or as you say out will go the baby.

Re: No more politics for me

CJY, I agree with you.

All of these politicians are pathetic.

Regarding the Foley issues, you know damn well had it been the democrats, they would have covered it up too.

They put things on their commercial that really dont mean a damn thing.

Truth be known, there is little difference between a democrat and a republican.

However, the real root of the problem is the "sheeple" in the USA.

They actually still believe that their vote will make a difference. Sorry to tell you folks, voting for "crook A" or "crook B" isnt much of a choice.

Re: No more politics for me

wow I agree with all so far:) a happy day.
mostly I agree with JB. so far this year no politician has set an objective with a plan to accomplish that objective.
even local politics seems to have gone nuts.
I would like to see a few politicians point out what they think is most presing for the US and its citzens for the next 2-4 and 10 years and then explain how he or she will accomplish the objectives and how to tell if their course is on track or another expensive boondogle.

mudslinging is great for ratings but not good for a candidte to show what they can do.

we still dont know much about the rep Foley matter yet Bush came out the next day with whole hearted support and no facts,shades of the UAE port debacle.
I just want leadership that will take fact and act not act and hope the fact supports the action.
The FBI and Florida law enforcement need to be given a clean non-partsan investigation to see if in fact any state,intrastate or federal laws were broken by foley.
if in fact Hastert and others knew about it and hushed it up well there is always impeachments and votor turnouts.
I am neither democrat nor republican, I dont trust either party has our best collective intrest in mind.
I am neither far left,I believe gun control means hitting what you aim at, nor far right, I also believe our elderly and downtrodden need medical and financil aid occasionally, however folks like kennedy,hastert,pelosi, and warner and a long list of other pigs at the public trough need to go.

Re: No more politics for me

Regardless of ones political leanings, I implore you all to vote.

This country gives a TRUE blessing, that is to vote.

Unfortuneately ony 25% are expected to vote on this off year (non-presidential) election. With those numbers, we can only hold ourselves as-pathetic. Plus, we get what we expect and let others decide what we'll live with.

There are good choices and bad ones. It is YOUR duty to make your own opinion. It is a right, it is a duty.

Otherwise, those that have not earned the right to be here, in the US, will make our decisions for us.

For those of you on the other side of
'immegration". I add this.

1. Ellis Isand allowed "legal" immigrants.

2. We knew "who": and "where they were.

3. Immigrants were allowed to vote when they understood our laws. It was a welcomed challenge to so many.

Too many of us biotch/whine about "nobody to vote for". Well, your abscence just increases that factor.

USE IT, BEFORE YOU LOSE IT.

Re: No more politics for me

Rodbolt, I agree with you in pricipal, but in reality it just wont work.

No politician would ever do this as it would be suicide cause it would be too much reality for the "sheeple". Sheeple make up 30-40% of America. Sheeple dont want to know the truth, they want to be told warm fuzzy things so they can get back to following Paris Hilton.

And the rest of us are too busy bikering and finger pointing to realize what is going on.

Who do we blame, the politicians, or America for voting them into office?

Vague? I did not think it vague.

It is because I would like to have an honest discussion about some of these things, but too often they dissolve quickly into labelling and name calling and flame wars, and then get locked.

Much like what happens in the real world with our professional politicians, and it is tiring and depressing, and completely unproductive.

You got it Snap! I am so psyched for the end of the month - look out all you fish cruising off shore around West Palm Beach!

CJY - I agree with you completely, well, not really - our political views are often from different sides of the aisle, but I quite posting in the political threads a while back, and took a break from posting altogether. Just here to have fun now. Will save the political debates for a time when it can make a difference.
