So let me see if I understand you. 1 - By comparison, Kerry's military combat record was relevant becasue Bush never saw combat and thus was the superior candidate. 2 - Kerry had military combat experience and the VP and SecDef at that time didn't thus making him the superior candidate. 3 - Based on one and two, Kerry was the superior candidate because he had more military experience than the Administration had. 4 - It was relevant then, but not relevant now. I understand completely. I know some farmers who would love to hire you to fertilize their fields because their entire herd of cows aren't as full of what makes the grass grow green as you are. Both Kerry and Bush used their military records in their campaigns. Compared to Bush's holiday with the TANG, Kerry's "military" record was real. Bush's was b.s. In choosing a POTUS, though, I don't think either's military record was relevant. Cheney and Rumsfeld were simply war mongerers, and compared to their non-experience, Kerry's service was relevant. The point is, you really don't understand. Too abstract, I suppose. |

A wise general once said that "It is good that war is hell because otherwise we would grow fond of it" (paraphrase). Unlike Hillary and Obimbo, McCain knows this from real personal experience and thus might work harder to avoid it. Knowing directly what it really is about will allow him to make better decisions than those whose knowledge is purely theory. Thus Harry is wrong, McCains war record is directly and strongly applicable. |

Democrats always fall this cult of personality like they have done for Obama..It is part of their pathology of wanting to be taken care of by a father figure. Remember how many Dems thought papa Joe Stalin was ok and they went into near depression when Krushev denounced him? Remember how many Dems went gaga over Mao? They always do this because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so they need an authority figure to tell them what to do. No offense, but that is the biggest crop of crap I have seen posted here in a long, long time. If you want political cult of personality in this country, look no farther than Ronald Reagan, and the efforts of Republicans to name every damned thing everywhere after him. How many Democrats thought Stalin was OK? How many went gaga over Mao? I'm old enough and educated enough to remember both of those guys, and I recall reading many times that Roosevelt, the leading Democrat of his time, had nothing but disdain for Stalin. His successor, Harry S Truman, had no use for Stalin, either. What you posted is bull**** piled upon bull**** piled upon bull****. heh, heh, heh. Got to ya, huh? Consider this. That's how many of us feel about a lot of your posts. It didn't get to me. Oh yes it did. Tell me - when Hillary pulls off her coup and steals the nomination, what spin will you be using then? Wow. Now you are telling me how I feel. Funny stuff. Hillary is not going to be the Dem nominee for POTUS. She certainly was my preferred candidate. I voted for her in the primary. I'd love to see her as the veep choice, but I think the odds are against her. Apparently the choice has been made but not announced. Of the supposed male frontrunners for veep, I like Biden best. You think there is any chance McCain will pick Warmonger Joe Lieberman? |

West Marine had an Atwood for $55 and the Boat and Motor Mart in Oakland had the same one for $76. Neither met the cut as I have a Tie-down coupler and the solenoid fits inside the housing. Though I had air in the brakes, much as HK has in his head, and the real problem was the blocking solenoid was blocking and so no brakes. Obama is looking worse and worse as a man of the people. 1/2 brother that lives on $12 a year while Obama buys $1.3million houses at a discount. While only making maybe $150K as a Senator.

The discussion board has several thousand new posts a day. It is a very active board. There are subsections. There's a moderator for each subsection. Therefore, there are a number of moderators. My subsection averages 25 or so new or add-on posts a day, one of the slowest. But that's because I am a relatively "new" mod, and "promotion" is based on seniority. :) Anyway, it doesn't take long to read through them, and there ain't much to moderate since posters like The Seven Little Schitts are banned for life after their second snotty post. I do read through some other subsections, though, out of my interest in their subject matter, and if I find a snotty post, I kill it and send a copy to that subsection's "mod." Lots of heated discussions, too, on many subject matters, but no personal insults. Reggie, Herring, DK, BAR, Just Wait, Loggy, Mike, et cetera, probably wouldn't last long enough to post twice. I read another, much newer message board, but unfortunately the moderators there don't do a very good job, and it was taken over by the attack dogs. Last time I checked, it was averaging less than one post a day on the entire message board. Such is life. |

You sure as hell did when Kerry was running. Only in comparison to Bush's dangerous service with the Texas Air National Guard, and Cheney and Rumsfeld's war mongering in the face of non-service. By itself, it has no relevance. What's relevant is having the smarts to avoid wars or to find a way to extricate a country from an ongoing war. So let me see if I understand you. 1 - By comparison, Kerry's military combat record was relevant becasue Bush never saw combat and thus was the superior candidate. 2 - Kerry had military combat experience and the VP and SecDef at that time didn't thus making him the superior candidate. 3 - Based on one and two, Kerry was the superior candidate because he had more military experience than the Administration had. 4 - It was relevant then, but not relevant now. I understand completely. I know some farmers who would love to hire you to fertilize their fields because their entire herd of cows aren't as full of what makes the grass grow green as you are. Both Kerry and Bush used their military records in their campaigns. Compared to Bush's holiday with the TANG, Kerry's "military" record was real. Bush's was b.s. In choosing a POTUS, though, I don't think either's military record was relevant. Cheney and Rumsfeld were simply war mongerers, and compared to their non-experience, Kerry's service was relevant. The point is, you really don't understand. Too abstract, I suppose. There's abstract and then there abstractly obtuse. You clearly specialize in the obtusely abstract. I also specialize in moderating a section of a discussion board that has thousands of daily contributors. You? Let's see. Thousands of messages, that's at least 2000. Assume it takes an average of 15 seconds to "moderate" each message. 15 seconds X 2000 msgs = 30K seconds. 30K sec / 60 = 500 minutes 500 min / 60 = 8.3 hours How do you find time to fish? The discussion board has several thousand new posts a day. It is a very active board. There are subsections. There's a moderator for each subsection. Therefore, there are a number of moderators. My subsection averages 25 or so new or add-on posts a day, one of the slowest. But that's because I am a relatively "new" mod, and "promotion" is based on seniority. :) Anyway, it doesn't take long to read through them, and there ain't much to moderate since posters like The Seven Little Schitts are banned for life after their second snotty post. I do read through some other subsections, though, out of my interest in their subject matter, and if I find a snotty post, I kill it and send a copy to that subsection's "mod." Lots of heated discussions, too, on many subject matters, but no personal insults. Reggie, Herring, DK, BAR, Just Wait, Loggy, Mike, et cetera, probably wouldn't last long enough to post twice. I read another, much newer message board, but unfortunately the moderators there don't do a very good job, and it was taken over by the attack dogs. Last time I checked, it was averaging less than one post a day on the entire message board. Such is life. Thanks for the detailed explanation. |

You can argue all you want. The fact remains that the U.S.A. is not liberal
enough to elect an African American. This is an exercise in bull****, the bigots will be out in droves come election day. hk wrote: Short Wave Sportfishing wrote: On Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:13:03 -0400, hk wrote: BAR wrote: hk wrote: ...do you own? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7?

I do this because it gives the schittheads like Loogie and Reggie something to file away, so that if the subject comes up in the future, and I state my little section gets an average of 11 or 51 posts a day, either of them will be able to post, "Ohhhh....he lied...last time he said there were 25 posts a day." It's important to leave some sand on the floor for the dumfochs. |
