Right, and when you used the word "we" to describe your disappointment with Obama, you set the benchmark for objectivity?
My 'we' is simply that I voted for him, as did many of my more conservative friends. I wish he would have done more, and I hope he does in his second term, if that's how it turns out. My friends who did not vote him are not in need of Midol, except perhaps when watching the Republican debates. And, are not 'blowhards'. OK, sorry, small attempt at humor. c
Can you please drop the pious horseshit, and quit pretending you are a well balanced centrist who is here making sure everyone gets a fair shake? You arent fooling anyone, when you spend all your time on this site defending the left, and attacking the right, while you pretend to be above the fray. People arent stupid. Here you are defending OWS, and immediately switching to attacking conservatives, when confronted with a derogatory remark about OWS..... Then your very next move, when confronted with a thread about the Tea party is to go on the attack... Quit playing Games like RCG trader, no one likes a Phony..... WTF is it with you guys on the left who are completely unwilling to admit you are left wing..... are you really that ashamed of your beliefs?
I do, but that's unfortunately not going to happen as long as people don't have to sit in front of the person they are responding to. The best we can hope to do is minimize it.
Good point. But what if someone actually says something stupid? Like, say, if Buffett really wants the rich to pay more taxes, then he should just go ahead and pay more taxes himself. And then the person stands behind such a vacuous statement. And when you explain to him that one person not peeing in the pool is not going to make a difference, but that everyone has to play to make it work, it falls on deaf ears. Tell me, cgroupman, how would you characterize such a position taken by someone? (Oh, and I didn't call him stupid. I just suggested he go live with Ayn Rand's John Galt on his island, which immediately prompted Tsing to place me on ignore. It seems that silly and dismissive comments only work for him if they go one way. And upon the return volley, I offended the poor dear's delicate sensibilities.)
Max, There was another alias on here last year that was a carbon copy of cgroupman, named "Olias". Do you remember him? Played this same "pious horseshit" character as you call it.
I played no games, the GOP and it's step cousin the neocons in libertarian drag are just rediculous, and this will be borne out in November, and then you will go into your sheeple, end of America, schick. A wise man gets on the right side of the issues.
Well, well. Glad to see Max and others are reading what I post. And, no other alias or anything. I'm still a centrist, as defined by most. Social liberal leaning, Fiscal conservative always. Don't mean to sound pious or even 'kumbaya' - but I do post what I honestly feel. And, I have agreed with many from the right here on ET. c
