Flip-flop? Or say whatever it takes?


Posted: Feb 20, 2013

In 2011 Obama vowed to veto any legislations that would stop the sequester from happening. Yesterday he vowed just the opposite. What gives? What changed?;

changed your mind about anything, say for example after having received new information that might change your perception?

Its a serious and fair question, lmn - waiting for your answer

Since OP asked her questions first, - she's probably

waiting for your answer.

I think he said that in 2011 to get elected - sm

knowing all along he wouldn't veto it, but could later on find a way to blame Republicans for allowing the sequester. How about that?

Duh - anony

Read the word after 2011. That explains it all. He does not have a clue about the lower end of middle class. Just my opinon so no need for the negtive comments slung back at me.

If you are going to eliminate thoughtful responses that just happened to tick off our hapless right wing lobby, I would respectfully request you kill the entire thread, as it is now even more meaningless in the absence of proper debate.

Just because someone "feels" attacked does not mean they "are" attacked. What are you guys so very afraid of?

To spare you further embarassment, I deleted your modification of my post, since hyperbolic language like "attack" and "will not be tolerated" make you look silly in the face of 1) so many posts here that are left unmolested, and 2) my own careful, even-handed posting.

Your response was not thoughtful or well thought out - I deleted it - Moderator

It was clear in all your responses that your entire purpose was to ridicule the OP. That will not be tolerated and if you don't like it then don't post at all.

I will not "kill" the entire thread because there is nothing wrong with the thread. It appears you have a problem with anything the OP posts. There is nothing in her message that is deserving of being deleted. This is not a liberal board. This is a board for all political affiliations (or no affiliations). Everyone has the right to post about issues that are important to them. If you don't like it find yourself another place to go.

This board is not your personal ridiculing board. If you have anything to add to a conversation then add it, but do not come on and state that you know what posters think or what they understand, because you are so much wiser than anyone else. I don't care if a poster posts an article from a right wing source or a left wing sources. Sources are sources and if you don't like it then don't read it.

This board is for ALL posters no matter what their party affiliation or no party affiliation. This is a not just a liberal or conservative board.

Your posts were way over the top for reasonable and as the Moderator I have the right to edit or delete. Your first message was edited. Upon reading your second and third reply it was obvious you only posted to ridicule another.

And by the way, you did not embarrass me. I am the one who deleted your post. You have only embarrassed yourself by replying with this message.

Have a nice day!

I have never treated this board as my "personal ridiculing board". That's quite an allegation. In fact, you say a lot of stuff in your post that is really pretty unsettling, not the least of which is this:

That my entire purpose was to ridicule the OP. That I state I know what other posters think and understand. That I think I am much wiser than anyone else.

These are pretty personally directed remarks, about me, in front of a bunch of people who never read the thread.

I would request that if you want to get personal, please do so via email, and kindly allow me to have a copy of what I wrote.

Ohio Gender Gap Poll Likely Explains Romney's Abortion Flip-flip.Oct 11, 2012

Ryan also then said their position on abortion has not changed. Romney's previous positions have been that he is absolutely against abortion. That ...

Tea Partiers: Obama’s A Muslim Because He Takes His Shoes OffApr 06, 2010
By Sahil KapurMonday, April 5th, 2010 -- 10:14 am President Obama's most vigorous opponents have gone to great lengths to paint him as a Muslim, despite all evidence to the contrary. At a recent event, a Tea Party organizer pushed those limits even further.
