Maybe we should all find something else to do, shall we?


Posted: Sep 18, 2012

There's no shortage of facts available for those who are truly interested, and the alternatives between the candidates are clear. 

People here are dug into their positions, and couldn't be budged with a wagonload of dynamite.  And as for "educating" them, you might as well try to explain astrophysics to your cat.

The only asset that we have in this world that can never be recovered once it's wasted is time.  Is this really how you want to spend yours?

Some valid points, for sure. I chose posting this election instead - of working the phones. The Republicans especially,

although all groups do it, are working to both

1. Get their inflexible, dependable base to the polls by inflaming their fears and outrages AND
2. So disgust thoughtful people on all sides with the political process that they just stay home on election day.

Yes, they know that masses of Republicans will not vote as a result but believe that even more Dems and independents will be disaffected and fail to turn out. It's all about getting power, what it does to our country...at best regrettable.

We all NEED to foil them by remembering that elections aren't about people calling each other names, they're about what we can and need to do for our country. First we decide for ourselves what that is, then we go vote. ALL of us, and defeat all enemies of democracy.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree. The messages I get - from the parties are equally disingenuous.

Very clever, posing an anti-Republican post in the guise of a "thoughtful" response.

Please forgive me if I doubt that you ever worked the phones for a Republican candidate - or perhaps any other, either.

Well, that's the first time anyone accused me of posing as anti - Republican. :) Actually, tho, I never have been. S

I am anti-bad people getting power. A nice general label that applies to...bad people to give big power to, whatever official labels they wear.

You are correct that I've never worked the phones for a Republican candidate. I've voted for Pubs but only become alarmed into trying to make more of a difference than just one vote when moderates lost control of the GOP.

You Know What I Find Sad.Nov 04, 2010
We have a chance to work together both republicans and democrats and yet both sides are still bickering like elementary school children...including all of us on this board.  One side is never going to be 100% right all the time.  So how about we all open our minds a bit, grow up a little, and embrace our fellow Americans no matter whether they are democrat or republican, black, white, hispanic, etc.  We are all Americans and even though we don't agree on everything...we do ha ...

Please God, Help Me Find A JobJun 02, 2013
I know so many of us are looking for jobs. I am disabled (not legally) its too hard to be totally broke and homeless for a year or two in order to get disability (which is basically what you have to do). Can't get on disability when you're on unemployment and food stamps either. I applied for free healthcare in my city and never heard from them yet. I can't find a job on the MT boards, too many people compete, as I do. So now I have to look for a job outside the home, but I don ...

is that the very people screaming support for unions and complaining their rights are being taken away, etc.  What about the people who live in a forced unionism state and are forced to join a union?   Where are their rights?  Where are their choices?  Right-to-Work laws do not force employees out of unions but allows them to opt-out of union membership if they want to and does nothing to ban unions from the Right-to-Work states. It simply gives the employee an opt ...

Where Do You Find Coupons?Jan 06, 2011
After reading posts about extreme couponing, i'm interested.  I've never bothered using coupons because I figured I would just use them to buy things I do not actully use nor need, just to save money.  I know you get them in newspapers, but you have to spend money for those.  Where are the free ones?  I get ads in the mail, but only price listings.  I would have to shop at three different grocery stores to get the full benefit of all the sales.  So, where ...

Does Anyone Else Find This Very Offensive???Jan 14, 2010
By Megan Carpentier Republican candidate Scott Brown, running to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, has a problem with more than just Martha Coakley. As Coakley's new ad points out, he also has a problem with rape victims. From Sarah Palin denying funds to reimburse hospitals for performing forensic rape examinations to the 30 Senate Republicans who voted against allowing rape victims their day in court, the new Republican party tough-on-crime platform is, apparently, that rape vict ...

Is It Possible To Find Love In Your 50s?Jul 05, 2016
While I'm considered "very attractive" (obviously, that's subjective) for my age, it is getting more and more difficult to find quality men to date. Part of my problem is that I live in a city comprised of mostly retirees and college kids, so the middle-aged folks are a smaller demographic.  That said, I am approached just about every day I venture out of the house.  But, you know how that goes -- they're too old for me, or married, or -- whatever. I joined a few onlin ...

Here's What I Find InterestingOct 20, 2016
Funny and suspicious. INTERESTING: I belong to 3 different fairly large forums that are mostly women, none of them political (2 are occupational, one is craft-related). Each one has a board for political discussion. Women from all over the country, across the age, race and religious spectrums. Reading these boards, it's very easy to see that there isn't any particular preference for Clinton among these all of these women. It's about even, I'd say. I think those b ...
