my date tonight and why there won't be a second one

[Rick Lee]

In the DC area a lot of singles mention their politics in their ads on Match.com and other places. I've seen plenty that read something to the effect of "Don't bother if you voted for...". I know it's different in the rest of the country, but DC is pretty divided in that respect.

They have Dem and GOP softball teams, the DNC and RNC have their own softball teams and plenty of Congressional offices do too.

Could've been even worse than that Fint. She could have said she voted for GWB the second time around and the Iraq fiasco was evidence of GWB's brilliant leadership capabilities

It's the gerrymandering that causes congressmen and women to feel so secure. If more districts were closely contested, then they wouldn't feed such hate and vitriol. This animosity trickles down to their staffers, and they become posers who feel that they are part of a bigger game, much like the artifical glam attitude that pervades LA, Calif. They become a "class of swaggering sycophants", as noted in the United States Capitol Historical Society "Washington Past and Present"

Here's an analysis of the 2004 Presidential election. It shows in general terms that the number of Republican counties in California outnumber the Democrat counties in terms of voter registration. However, Democrats control the more populated cities, and that is why they outnumber Republicans. It is also interesting to note the Orange County, Kern, and Santa Barbara areas which are highly anomalous

i run into this all the time. shame really, i love arguing politics. and having a good fight is sort of a turn on. but most liberal women, and liberals in general, can't argue. they just get offended if you contradict them.

she'll confine her dating to guys with gore 04 stickers on their hybrids, but quietly complain to her girlfriends that all the men in her life are wimps. and never make a connection between the two things.





a few years back i got set up with a nurse. had a nice enough first date. dvorak at the hollywood bowl. steady stream of conversation about nothing. the wine helped. next day i found out that she was a "nurse" at planned parenthood.

still creeps me out.

Wait...are you repeating yourself? "uninformed liberal"? Do you always stutter when you speak? (that was me channeling Mule)

Where in the hell did i make any mention of her political leanings, vs him backtracking on what he claimed? Do you often call people that you wanted to date idiots, after calling them intelligent? Is that acceptable in your social circles?

I still wanna know if got any...screw the political crap.....

Before I get flamed for that I apologize. That wasn't a fair comparison. People with that type of handicap are actually doing their best and at least trying to understand.

You are a strong Obama supporter and we all know why.

- I see you believe the characterization he gave. I don't. I suspect she was trying to be nice to him and doing her damnedest to avoid politics. Go back and reread his 'story' - read between the lines.

- What makes you think I am a strong Obama supporter??? You must be confusing me with someone else.

Or she could be really stupid and have her head in the sand like most of the Dems on this forum!

I've been a Republican all my life, and imo the legacy of GWB's fiascos will be much worse than Carter's, and that's REALLY hard to type

-having a racist wife
-total flip flop/lier on 2nd amendment ( in fact she didn't even know what it was!!)
-Rev Wright...

I don't know what you guys are worried about. From what I hear he'll probably have changed his mind on these issues by the time he gets into office.

Yup. You may even need to find another party. He's done a lot of damage to the Republican party.

BTW - Bill Moyers had 2 guys on his pbs show last week, both had books out on how to save the party. I can't remember their names tho or the titles. One was old and one young - young guy was a Sr. Ed. at The Atlantic. You might enjoy reading the books.

Does such a thing exist? I don't believe you, sounds like some made up magical fairytale.

Yeah, because we all know Bill Moyers would lift a finger to help the GOP.

This probably seems like a simple issue to you. In reality, it is quite complex. What would you do if you were sitting on an asset that is rapidly gaining in value? Drill and sell immediately?

Also, what impact on the price of gasoline would you expect from, say, a 20% increase, or even a 50% increase, or even a doubling of American oil pumping? Have you thought this through?

Again, this may seem to you a simple decision but it's not, and not everyone agrees with you.

When did Obama raise taxes? What promise to raise taxes has he made? You guys seem to have a certain belief that President Obama will raise taxes, even though you (I assume) are fully aware that liberal presidents SPEND LESS MONEY THAN CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENTS. Oh yeah, they also attempt, and succeed, in balancing the budget......a trivial goal in the minds of conservative presidents, apparently.

Again, you assume taxes will be raised. It is not a fact she, or anybody else, should be aware of.

What small businesses has future President Obama promised to kill?

What part of the Republican Party's vigorous "corporate welfare" policy helps small businesses? I mean, actual small businesses. Do you know the actual definition of "small business?"

Interesting opinion. As with a few of your conclusions above, I suspect you are in the minority, but assuming your beliefs are "fact."

Another opinion. Interestingly, when this campaign reaches its conclusion, I will be interested in your observations regarding flip-flopping. Who do you think will be painted as the undisputed King of Flipflopping? Take a close look at McCain's positions over the years and months before you answer.

Pretending this issue has not been resolved? Do you take responsibility for the remarks of your doctor, minister, etc.? What has Obama said about Mr. Wrights remarks? And knowing this, you continue to pretend Reverend Wright and Barack Obama are the same person?

No. The typical housewife knows much less than this. .......which is how we got our current "administration."

I'm a little surprised you did not punch her.

It sounds like your romantic needs are very specific. Aside from physical appearance, you need someone who knows so little about public policy formation that she supports Bush and other similar (conservative) administrations. Good luck with that.

Indeed. His legacy will hurt both the Republican Party and the United States of America. Very sad. I actually lament the damage to your party. Honestly. There are responsible Republicans. But yeah, Dubya has really hurt you guys.

You're missing the point.. Obama doesn't want to do anything at all.. Do you know anything about alternative technology ?? To wait the years he does and not do anything is rediculous and nieve..



Again, this may seem to you a simple decision but it's not, and not everyone agrees with you.
We're talking about curbing the rise in prices due to speculation..



ibid. What does that mean ?

You guys seem to have a certain belief that President Obama will raise taxes, even though you (I assume) are fully aware that liberal presidents SPEND LESS MONEY THAN CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENTS. Oh yeah, they also attempt, and succeed, in balancing the budget......a trivial goal in the minds of conservative presidents, apparently.
Hey true conservatives believe in smaller government, less taxes ( which are proven to increase revenue) and less spending..

Again, you assume taxes will be raised. It is not a fact she, or anybody else, should be aware of. Are you kidding ?? What part of him pleding to repeal the tax cuts and declaring war on "the rich" or raising capital gain taxes did you miss ?? this is a joke right ??




What small businesses has future President Obama promised to kill? Well the manditory medical insurance for all companies for one..

What part of the Republican Party's vigorous "corporate welfare" policy helps small businesses? I mean, actual small businesses. Do you know the actual definition of "small business?"

Resolved,?? the fact that he sat in the pew for 20 years and didn't leave due to political expediency pretty much says it all doesn't it ?




No. The typical housewife knows much less than this. .......which is how we got our current "administration."




I'm a little surprised you did not punch her. Why would I punch her ? kind of pitied her..

Hardly,, you've totally missed the point, try going back and reading a few of the posts above
No she needed to know something and at least be able to defend her position other than say " McCain is old"
