There are probably 20 posters in here that are constantly Googling whatever they can find on the net to cut and paste anti-Obama propaganda. And they probably don't read through half of what they post. Trying to make a rebuttal for all of that would drive anybody insane. You just have to look at it this way. If there was a republican in the White House, their focus would then go to democratic senators and congressmen, along with the usual 9-11 conspiracy loons. It's a never ending saga. The only advice I can give you is to spend more time on the net reading the actual news from the best sources, instead of reading the cut and paste conservative fringe material they put on this forum.
I am a bleeding heart liberal living in Oklahoma. One of if not the most republican state in the country. We only have one newspaper. And it's republican. So where I come from people are pretty much born from republican families, or are heavily influenced by the politics around them. I come from a pretty tough blue collar democratic family. But it's just poilitics. Half of my close friends are republicans. Everybody has their points of view about things. One thing about politics, it's just like religion. Nobody, not even people who belong to the same party or church, are in 100% agreement with each other about their own beliefs. So you can't take it too seriously. You also can't take it too personally because if the conservative posters in this forum are anything like some of my conservative friends, they are probably much different in real life than the way you picture them in a political forum. That's why I try to stay away as much as I can from personal attacks of other posters. The bully approach never works on internet forums.Very good post. I have worked in politics for pretty much my entire life. I know firsthand it is parisan, petty and more or less professional wrestling gone wild. I've noticed in last ten years the hate has grown to a level I've never seen. Both sides.
I see many on here doing just what you said. Going to google and just posting anti obama articles. I've said on occasion you could google anything to find your desired result.
I think rather then fight all the nonsense I need to pick and choose a little bit better. Thx for the advice.
Stay. If for no other reason to piss vit off.
I think I might take a few weeks or longer break from this political forum. The amount of crazy talk this past month has me rethinking the element I am dealing with. I think a break might be what I need
I will leave it up to my friends here. I will see where the vote total is tomorrow at 2pm est.
If nobody cares to vote or others tell me to stay. I will. If the votes tell me to leave. I will do so.
Thx for reading.
Stick around, I need to stick it to you when the Braves catch fire and catch your fancy Phils.
(not tonight though, I need Doc's fantasy points real bad)
Doc is a machine. I will be watching from home tonight.
U think braves can get there? I'm more worried about marlins. If there defense gets better they could be tough. They have a very good staff. Love stanton. He is gonna be a star.
Vit I was tempted to post the Jeremy Piven GTFO gif but I'll save it for Lauren =)
Since you seem to respect what I say I'll just tell you this -- Words Matter! Reread the OP and tell me how much friendlier it would appear had you simply omitted, "the element I am dealing with."
You're asking people for their opinion on whether you should remain here right after bashing them. It's too late to take it back. The post wasn't necessary because had you just stepped away for 2 days you'd know you were the only person able to answer your question.
What you're really showing here is your frustration that you can't get certain people to agree with you. Well hello and welcome to the Human Condition!
Last thing I'll tell you is that if you do decide to take a break don't read here during that time. Because whatever relief from frusration you're hoping for won't come if you're still opening the threads.
