How about a Moratorium on Political threads until November 8th?
 
It has become apparent to me that one of the posters on this forum who shall remain nameless (but their name means an event where a bunch of cowboys get together and ride horses, rope cows, etc) is dangerously close to rupturing an aneurysm due to the pressure of the upcoming election.

Therefore, I feel it is my duty as a physician to suggest that there be a moratorium on all politically related threads until after the election is over.

It's all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out...

Icemaster 11-03-2006 03:58 PM

I Second the motion.

cmccuist 11-03-2006 04:00 PM

Forget it N-dad. I've been laying out for awhile and it's getting good the last few days before the election. It's time it increase the political posting, not shut it down!

Mark Wilson 11-03-2006 04:12 PM

ND - how about this? Hardly political at all.

Well there goes my thoughts of sex tonight, curse you Wilson.

BlueSkyJaunte 11-03-2006 04:17 PM

Bush hates moratoriums. Or is it "moritoria"?

snowman 11-03-2006 04:29 PM

I already voted (early voting) so you can't change my mind, or even if you did, not my vote. Vote often, vote for anyone other than the D word. If your dead and still voting you must be a D.

I'm too busy being uniquely American working three jobs to put food on my family.

Jim Richards 11-03-2006 06:21 PM

OK with me. I get taxed but have no representation in the Federal gov't anyway.

But I am praying for a comeuppance for the neocons next week. Oh, I mean I'm praying for a new era of bipartisianship after the election next week. :)

Stay healthy, Rodeo. :D

Tobra 11-03-2006 06:32 PM

fine by me I just wish I could get an exemption from political mail, phone calls and news since I already voted absentee

Put some of it in your family, better nourishment that-a-way.

How about a Moratorium on Political threads until November 8th?
 
Until November 8th which year?

Jim Richards - you sound like you are in the same position as me. To my mind that is one of the privileges of being a legal resident and non-citizen. No matter how bad things get we can just shrug our shoulders and say "Don't blame me" :rolleyes:

Understatement of the year, but then so would Rodehard and one other jerk.

Guys, this is just such a big waste of time, nothing that can be said will change the way that the liberal feel, nor the way that the conservatives feel, so how about using the time in a productive way instead of wasting it?

Thats why you guys have not seen me on the OT political scene. These three main posters are not worth my wasting my time on and would rather use it productively.

Moneyguy1 11-03-2006 08:44 PM

Too much fun watching the chaos unfold......And the pundits here thinking that the federal government gives a rats a$$ about their individual views or that it actually works for them.....

I view your political threads as education (in between the mud slinging).

As far as I understand it looks like a very even race for both Congress and the Senate.

And you might all wake up one morning in the future, realizing you have elected your first colored President. Good for you! :)

Wrecked944 11-04-2006 06:22 AM

Here's an idea. How about after Nov 8, we apply some simple rules to OT.

Rule #1) The party that loses the election shuts the f*ck up.
Rule #2) The party that wins the election stops responding to posts by the party that lost when they fail to adhere to Rule #1.

The net result is that *everybody* shuts the f*ck up - but some do it more smugly...;)

scottmandue 11-04-2006 08:17 AM

If you all understood that I am the all knowing one and started thinking like me we wouldn't have these problems!

Jim Richards 11-04-2006 08:50 AM

Bar's open! Enjoy. :D

Icemaster 11-04-2006 09:44 AM

It matters who wins? Seems like the same outcome regardless.

Joe Bob 11-04-2006 05:49 PM

I'll see your John Kerry joke and raise you one gay masseuse drug dealer....

Moneyguy1 11-04-2006 05:51 PM

So....
The only problem is how do we define "winner"?

Jim Richards 11-04-2006 05:51 PM

So, how does the dancing banana play into the upcoming election, Mike? :)

Joe Bob 11-04-2006 05:53 PM

I pretty much cancel out my wife's vote.....

Jim Richards 11-04-2006 05:58 PM

Well, you never know how the electronic voting machines will record it. ;)

Joe Bob 11-04-2006 06:15 PM

Well if I chain her to the stove she'll not be able to get there.....

I guess that's your way of admitting that you have been consistently wrong about the most important issue of our time -- the botched war in Iraq. 100% WRONG 100% of the time.

At least you're big enough man to admit your mistakes .... SmileWavy

cowtown 11-04-2006 08:20 PM

Rodeo, you are singlehandedly turning this board into a very unpleasant place for many beside just Joeaksa.

Not because of your views, but because you are just so freaking annoying.

Congratulations.

Rodeo 11-05-2006 04:51 AM

So Joe comes on thread that I haven't even posted in, calls me "Rodehard" and a "jerk," and I'm the one that's being "unpleasant?"

Understatement of the year, but then so would Rodehard and one other jerk.

Screw you Cowtown. More Roverian thuggery.

First smash someone in the face, then decry how "uncivil" things have gotten.

Exactly why he made my ignore list...I have no problem with his views, I just can't stand the way he posts them.

Mark Wilson 11-05-2006 07:43 AM

Blodeo is that irritating, knowitall relative at a family reunion who you try not to get cornered by. You know, the kind that trys to shove his opine down everyone's gullet and never takes a breath to let anyone else talk. My Uncle Raymond was like that. He spent his last years combing through other peoples trash in Comanche, TX. I see a bright future for this man Blodeo - yes I do.......

Rodeo 11-05-2006 07:59 AM

It's very curious that the attacks on me come from all those that defended Mr. Bush's Iraq blunder, often by shouting down critics, calling them appeasers, or worse.

By now almost everyone understands that Iraq has been a massive blunder, and that the critics were correct in questioning the honesty and competence of this administration.

Instead of simply saying "I was wrong," the attacks on me grow in intensity. Same tactics, same playbook.

Mark Wilson 11-05-2006 08:03 AM

He wasn't wrong. But you are...................

Rodeo 11-05-2006 08:05 AM

"Blodeo," that's a good one.

You're one heck of a wit.

Amazing how much that sounds like John Kerry right after he insulted the military. Guess you took a page from HIS playbook. Good luck with that.
