Noooo! Don't chill out. Rage! Keep debasing other people until the anarchists are happy! I want reform and to empty the beltway of self-serving politicians. I want smaller government. I want unemployed lawyers to take a job building the wall. Obama is a catalyst to get Americans to vote for reform. Keep focusing on Palin, cussing, raging, and watching MTV and Youtube.

Did you vote Republican the last election cycle?

Did you vote Republican the last election cycle?

The last election cycle (do you mean presidential). I assume you do, my vote was cast by absentee ballot since I was deployed forward. The county recorder returned it 3 times, effectively canceling out my voice even though everything was in order. Did I vote for Bush? YES. I actually listened to every State of the Union address and admired what he wanted to accomplish:
1. Alternate Fuel Sources (hydrogen fuel cell and synthetic combustion)
2. Fiscal restriant (no more pork)
3. Less government
4. No special interest groups
5. Bi-Partisan action to ensure the potential of America
6. Flat tax - as you spend, you pay - no special exemptions

Someone said you can talk abstract (Meanie) but it doesn't get things accomplished. You can thank the Special Interest groups and a vast majority of legislatures in their hip pockets for these remaining hollow dreams.

As for security, I was on the tip of that spear, and most Americans will never understand just what great things we have accomplished.

And whom do you believe? You believe the party of the same. If you think Bush actually could accomplish progress without bi-partisian support, then you should reexamine the congressional record. By stalling and not working together, ignoring it was a non-partisian failure, then you will continue getting the same type of response from the federal government. Americans are not stupid. Please explain, if you can, how increasing the power base on the same party that has denied progress and continued corruption and wants to enlarge the pork train will actually improve anything but their stranglehold?

Not Bush........and frankly, no other politician who has already been caught lying.
Which I know covers a lot of ground.

09-09-2008, 04:31 PM
Link to the actual lie? At best you can prove quibble, but teller of lies is a strong and inaccurate statement. On the other hand, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," is bona fide.
Bush is gone. It is time to get rid of all the liars. Since Obama has quibbled, you will still vote for the corrupt politics because MSNBC has blamed Bush? Do you not suppose that Fox and MSNBC targeted specific demographic shares and only really care if you are entranced enough to watch their advertisements?
I agree that liars should be banned from political office. Whom do we have left?

Try to follow along here:

You said you voted for the court-appointed pinhead in '04 because you "admired what he wanted to accomplish."

I asked if you had bothered to compare this list against his actual record.

BTW, Bush had a rubber stamp/GOP-controlled Congress at that time.

Well, that seals it. By the way you categorize people, I can tell you have an expanded view of the situation and always examine the details with a microscope. Our country is far from ruined, so your rant was another demonstration of quality maturity- but there is hope yet. Either Obama will win or he won't. I wouldn't even categorize Obama the way you do other people, but it is your right to denigrate others.

See, this is why McCain stays close in polls.

Clowns like MO and Garcia seriously swallow the bull**** they keep slinging even though their entire political careers 100% diverge from those comments.

Bush "fiscal conservativism!" = record deficit spending.

McCain "drive out the lobbyists!" = lobbyists running nearly every level of his campaign and being some of his major funders of his entire political career.

Yeah. Those are guys you can listen to.

How to Use "Whom" Correctly
The correct use of who and whom in questions may seem like a lost battle, still joined only by punctilious English teachers. But the correct usage remains important in formal writing, and careful speakers have not yet surrendered the distinction.

Steps
Know the difference between who and whom. They are both pronouns but who is used as the subject of a sentence or phrase and whom is used as the object of a verb. What follows is a quick way to determine which pronoun to use in a particular question.
Use whom when referring to the object of a verb.
To whom it may concern:
To whom did you talk today?
Whom does Sarah love?
Use who when referring to the subject of a sentence or phrase.
Who brought the paper inside?
Who talked to you today?
Who went to dinner?
Ask yourself if the answer to the question would be he or him. If you can answer the question with him, then use whom. It's easy to remember because they both end with "m". If you can answer the question with he, then use who.
Example: A suitable answer to the question, "To [who or whom] did the prize go?" is, "It went to him." (Almost no one would say "It went to he.") The correct pronoun for the question is whom.
Example: A suitable answer to the question, "[Who or Whom] went to the store?" is, "He went to the store." (Almost no one would say "Him went to the store.") The correct pronoun for the question who.


Tips
It is possible to write around problems involving who and whom, but the result is almost always clumsy. If you write "To which person did the prize go?" because you can't remember that whom is the correct pronoun for such a question, you will have avoided a grammatical error at the expense of elegance.
Here's a useful mnemonic for remembering about objects and subjects. If you say "I love you" then "you" is the object of your affection and the object of the sentence. "I" is the subject. "[Whom or Who] do I love?" is "Whom do I love?" because the answer, "you", is an object.

<B>Warnings
There is much confusion and misuse on this topic. Just as correctly using whom may make others think you are intelligent, misusing it may make you seem pompous.

Judging from their support for Palin, they haven't learned a thing from these past eight years.

Of course, when they chose GeeDubya as their nominee in 2000, everyone with two brain cells to rub together noted the same learning disability with respect to the Reagan years and trickle-down part I.

These addresses ran on TV, but instead of issues, it seems the anti-Bush crowd focused on personality and hearsay. Glad to see just how under informed and sparsely informed the Obama movement is. The comparision to Paris Hilton is being more substantiated every time a Obama supporter utters more nonsense and refuses to use thier own effort to be informed. That is why Obama really is scared, his supporters have a very low attention span and are not very well informed when real issues are discussed. That is why Palin seems more important then discussing issues. Almost every time an Obama supporter posts, it is with the degeneration of namecalling, fear, and viciousness of an upset animal- confused and acting without reasoning power. You haven't been asked to switch parties- just to really examine the issues and show simple tolerance of the right of others to make their own choice.

That is the GE owned NBC, the home of Oberman? Even if Obama loses, NBC will have Obama at +1. Isn't this the same network that announced results in Florida during the last presidential even before the polls were closed?
