It that happens I'm out of here. Not the board, the whole damn country. The bull crap that we would have to face for another four years would be unbearable. Goodbye SoCal house, hello sailboat in the Caribbean.

Now THERE is an important basis for choosing a President. Not examining records or anything.
Gore's sighing WAS exasperating and annoying and I was disgusted and embarrassed for him. But I certainly didn't base my vote on that any more than I would have Bush's folksy style (as I said at the time, he's gonna aw-shucks his way right to the White House and people are going to be sorry they fell for it).
Yes, someone who exasperates, annoys, disgusts, and embarrasses me (see we do agree on things
) is an important basis for choosing a President. Could you imagine him in a conference with world leaders and pulling that childish act with someone he didn't agree with? Not me. That's why, at the minute, he lost my vote. -
Take this thread for example. The basic theme is that the left has been a little quiet lately and the conclusion from that unproved, anecdotal piece of pure guesswork, is a list of insults aimed at everyone from the left. Those insults were authored by you and now here you are complaining that people on the left are sound byte oriented and have little to offer. If you do not see the screaming hypocrisy of that there is no point in even attempting to have a dialouge with you.
I saw this thread started a few days ago and I never went past your post. It was clear that it was yet another insult the left party here at the PPP likely to draw the snickering applause of the typical candidates so I didn't waste my time reading any further. I checked it out today because I saw that blzrul had entered the fray so I wanted to see what creative new insults were tossed at her.
If you are truly wondering why there aren't more meaningful exchanges of information and ideas here at the PPP, just re-read your post starting this thread and that should explain it to you.
My original post was in insult to the left?? Wow Mick, time to thicken up that skin a bit. Sorry if you felt that way, didn't mean it as an insult and after re-reading it, it sure didn't sound too insulting. If you were insulted, maybe it hit too close to home...

I saw a great quote from Margret Carlson from CNN's The Capital Gang in today's Orange County Register.
"When I break down on the road, I always hope a Republican stops. He'll actually jump the battery, whereas a Democrat would rather call a tow truck and promise to create Consumers Against Roadside Emergencies to study the problem."

I absolutely disagree. Both sides have their well informed, calm posters whom I learn a lot from. And both have their wacked out loudmouths that I avoid. But in reading the dwindling posts from the left they've got very little to offer to the debate. Now I don't feel this is a reflection of them personally, it's a reflection of their candidate and their party.
It just appears that the more thoughtout educated posts are coming from people with a more conservative ideal.........NOT REPUBLICANS, conservatives, there is a difference. Those with a more liberal ideal seem to be more sound bite oriented and more immature. And that immaturity can be traced to their last Presidential candidate. What really turned me off Gore was his sighing during the debates. That, IMO, blew if for him.

.....been transformed in to a forum for those from the right only. There have been very few topics posted or topics replied to by our friends from the left. What are the reasons? Is it:
1. They have nothing to add anymore.
2. They realize their guy is in deep stevestojan.
3. They can't compete.
4. They're all on their way to NY in their best hippy gear to create chaos.
Either way it's been eerily quite from that side.
If it's number four we need to send my favorite fighter of Chaos, Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. But with all his bumbling, I would imagine that he's a Democrate.

Yeah, can you imagine that, what was it an eight something? I've been in mid sixes that will scare the stevestojan out of you. I couldn't imagine one that big.

Here is what you said about the left on the board:
"1. They have nothing to add anymore.
2. They realize their guy is in deep stevestojan.
3. They can't compete.
4. They're all on their way to NY in their best hippy gear to create chaos"
Lets see now, all you said is that we are a bunch of hippies who can't compete because we are full of sh*t and have nothing else to offer.
Gee, now why would I take that as an insult? Is that what you consider to be a cordial invitation to a meaningful exchange of ideas? Is this what you call mature? Look,

I said you were full of stevestojan??? You know Mick, I've read my post a few times and can't quite figure out where I wrote that. Calling you a hippy is an insult?? Damn, I was one 30 years ago. I guess you're just easily offended.....sorry.
