Congress sucks...

[followsthewolf]

WTF, you and I seem to be the only ones who get the inside jokes. Thank Coyote someone does!

Ayuh, always was known as the guardian of all things pointless (bad pun) and useless.

And I never did know whether Coyote was the messenger or the creator. I'm so confused!

Like I said -- woulda probably been fun!

It's a piece of trivial knowledge that apparently my brain felt no need to attempt to retain. <shrug>

Sandy, it was YOU who made a comment that I "don't read"...that started this....as long as you have known me, I always have supported my beliefs with a link...it was you that taught me to do this...just because YOU don't agree with my link should mean that I should just stop interacting

You only provide links which support your opinion, nevermind if they're opinion or fact. You seem to make the assumption that those which support your personal beliefs, must be factual and everything else is liberal media.

....it seems to me, that the liberals on here, don't want discussion, they want 'YES' people to agree with EVERYTHING they want

By no means do I represent the "liberals on here", but I'd love a good discussion. I don't care if anyone agrees with me, but it would be nice if they at least tried to keep it honest. Twisting the facts or attempting to pass off opinion as fact is dishonest. I see a lot of that, but I'm not going to point an fingers.

.....just like congress is doing....they think they can put a bill out there and just expect the people to agree with it, without any recourse

I assume you have a link to support this belief?

....and they REALLY got it wrong this time....the people, plain and simple do NOT agree with this POTUS on healthcare.....

O'rly? You speak for "the people" collectively or just your fellow teabaggers?

and EX is the one who has to get nasty and make it personal EVERYTIME

It's starting to seem like you have a lil' man crush on Ex.

You insert him, in one way or another, regardless of who you're addressing. That was my previous point. You inserted something about Ex in a comment to me. He wasn't even involved in that discussion. Yes, I said that you don't read. What's that got to do w/Ex? The difference is that I think you can read but refuse to acknowledge reality in direct conflict of your beliefs. Which makes you appear obtuse. I can't speak for Ex, but I get the impression he thinks you simply can't read. 

At any rate, my comments are my own, borne from years of participation and observation in discussion forums and I can't answer for others.

....I have simply allowed myself to go to his level and call names....and for that, I apologize and I am trying MY best to NOT go down that road anymore....I don't like it...I thought it was a mutual 'fun - ribbing' between him and I, but then he attacked my family...and not one person on here seemed to think that HE was going to far (he was just being patient)....but it is Henry, that is making that poor soul bust his head on the wall because I will NOT agree with his misinformed ideology.

Henry, you'll always be my favorite right wing conservative, but it seems like  you're projecting your own traits on others. The predictability is maddening. You say someone else has misinformed ideology because they don't agree with you. For you, it doesn't need to go any further than that. Again, it seems to be about what you want to believe regardless of the evidence.

I just find myself wondering what an honest and open-minded discussion about the pros and cons of an issue would be like.

I wish I could help you out. I'm just no good at debate.  I know just enough to question, and never enough to form a solid opinion.

THE CONGRESS NOT ONLY SUCKS. IT HAS SURVIVED ITS OWN CREMATION!

HOW? *i* HAVE NO IDEA. A STUPID ELECTORATE *i* guess!

an electorate that thinks more about self than country!

an electorate that will only be awakened by their own loss of what most of AMERICA has already lost!

an electorate that is more about ideology than THIS REPUBLIC!

an electorate that is more about self than THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS FUTURE!

YES! the congress sucks!

BUT, those who elect them repeatedly and REDUNDANTLY suck even MORE!

FUCK THE CONGRESS AND THE ELECTORATE who think more about self than THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

FUCK THE WHOLE BUNCH OF STUPID SONS OF BITCHES!

Well said Don

from Henry: ...but then he attacked my family...and not one person on here seemed to think that HE was going to far (he was just being patient)

I must have missed that one. I agree that going after the opponent's family is over the top. However, I don't think generic comments like "Your kids must be as dumb as you" count as going after family. That kind of remark is just a place holder, while the poster thinks up something of substance. And I guess I didn't have my tongue far enough in my cheek on that "beating his head against a brick wall" thing. You didn't notice it. Either that, or you thought I had the mumps! But thanks for looking up Oblio and Arrow. Now you need to give yourself a real treat and listen to the album. It's Nilsson's The Point for the rest of you Philistines.

from FTW (see, I got it right this time): And I never did know whether Coyote was the messenger or the creator.

I never figgered it mattered much whether Coyote was the Mouthpiece or the Enforcer ... it was still a bad idea to cross Him.

...his misinformed ideology.

LMMFAO!  My, but you are delusional...can't quite figure out when to use 'were' instead of 'was' but think you've got something as complicated as national policy all figured out.

Must be nice to be perfect and never make mistakes or have to go back and edit your post's because you misspelled a word or used the wrong one.....Too bad you'll never know how that is Ex.

Misspelling a word or making a typo is a completely different circumstance from not knowing the right word in the first place but it's no surprise that the distinction eludes you.

You're so funny Ex.  Use of words is not a mark of a persons intelligence. Also constantly correcting someone is a mark of needing to feel superior because of a lack of self confidence in yourself and needing to deflect since you don't have anything useful to contribute to a conversation.

Those were my very thoughts.....and have been for very long time....that along with all the personal attacks.....but, I'm not saying nothing....

Hey now...that would be ME!!

[Sandy Eggo]

I'm sorry, but it's not so much about knowing which word to use as it is about elementary level grammar. To me the concept seems similar to hygiene, both are very basic and tell you a lot about a person.

well for me, this is not a grammer test, it is a forum, where I ...throw down some thoughts and move on....I am not here to impress anyone with my grammer.  I have no problem using proper english when I HAVE to.  I construct daily emails and letters to clients and customers, and have done so for several years.....This is a typical liberal snob's response...if you ask me.   Btw, I shower daily, brush and floss, and ALWAYS wash behind my ears...
