Sorry if I offended you ,Charger and Pit with the crack about Pelosi and Reid. But lets be honest they both have about a 15% aproval rating. Is it possible the rest of the country is not full of crap But you guys are, even though you know whats best for us and the military?
Pelosi doesn't want the military recruiting in her state but she doesn't mind telling them who they should live with.
Maybe they should allow them in but keep them all together. That would stop any problems between straights & gays. I know when I was in the service there probanly were Gay service men but I never ran into one. If the men had learned of one his life would be miserable. There was trouble on the beach with Gay Civilians.I just don't think its a good mixture. But times have changed and what do I know compared to you libs?

Offend me about Pelosi and Reed?
Never. Their total idiots IMO.
They are what I consider to be extreme liberals that in no way represent my political beliefs in any way, shape or form.
What I do find a bit funny though is that you seem to act as though the GOP doesn't have their "little band of idiots" too.
The people who simply refuse to admit that our system is greatly flawed, splintered and divided is the fault of both parties I do not feel are even making an attempt to be the slightest bit objective.
Actually I put both Pelosi and Palin in the "party idiot" category. Thay just belong to different parties.
The very closest thing I have to being represented is what the news calls "conservative democrats and more liberal Republicans".
Why? Because they are moderates no matter how you label it. I'm not a fan of extremes either way. So it's not that you offend me when you speak of how much both Pelosi and Reed are idiots. It's the fact that from your posts you seem to indicate that the "idiot politician pool" only exists in one party.

I didn't mean to lump you in with Mac and Charger but I can see where I did. After all these years I think I understand your politics.
Just curious why you would lump Palin in with Pelosi. She got rid of coruption in Alaska, sold off the expensive airplane and did several other good things for her state which I can't think of right now.
Did you buy into the liberal media portrayal of her? She is a hard Conservative. Is that something you don't trust? Come on Pit, one is good for the country and the other is a traitor.

I know for me, I use to support Sarah Palin as a general politician because I love her views on state sovereignty. However, the reason I would [also] group her in with Nancy Pelosi is her military policy. While Nancy Pelosi wants to increase government through social institutions, Sarah Palin has no problems doing it through military institutions; she's a proponent of interventionism and military expenditure beyond what's necessary for defense. Because of that, like Pelosi, she would never get my vote if she ran for President.

Palin?
Not even close ... she's been vocal in her support for both international wars, the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, not to mention the laundry list of federal money she took while in office.
None of those things are remotely conservative.
There are no liberals or conservatives within our government.

Gay people don't want "special" rights. Don't know why everyone assumes this.
Other than not allowing them to get their asses kicked for being gay, I don't see any "special" rights that could be needed. We've been in the forces forever, and unless it goes back to banning us completely, we'll continue to be.
I don't think the gay people themselves will want "special" rights, as I see them just as I see everyone else. I know gay people and some are my friends, and none of them want anything. My comment was that there will be a group of lawyers or "special rights" advocates, or whatever they want to call themselves who will do the requesting.
The first time a straight and a gay have a conflict or fight, someone from one of these groups will turn it into a "hate" crime or something along those lines.
Gay people are not the problem, it is these activists that love to control others that form these "groups". It is just like the gay marraige thing. A civil union in which all the rights of a married couple could be had was not enough, they want to change the meaning of a word, marriage. It makes no sense, it just creates controversy. IMO it would have been easier to just change it to a "civil union" license, and drop the word marriage. Then use it for everybody. But no, they have to create an arguement to justify their getting involved.

Wouldn't that be a 'special' right or exception?
It's marriage or it's not ...why make up special terms?

Why change the definition of "marriage" if gays get the same benefits, only under a different "term"?
I can't think of any reason.
If the benefits of marriage are what they want - they can have them. Why do we need to change the definition?
Hell, you can tell me my wife and I are, legally, considered "partners" - not "married". Wouldn't bother me, because what you (and "you" means society, not you personally) call me has no bearing on what I think, what I feel, how I think, or how I feel.
Why do we need to change the def. of marriage?

You did not offend me.
Last time I checked, the congressional republicans had lower ratings than democrats. Does that make one better than the other? No, my point is that there are a significant number of nutty people on the right, and the dems don't have a stronghold on silliness. It is only going to get worse with the tea-partiers showing up next month.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!

every time I hear someone say something of the sort, I think Animal House Toga Party.
"Oh, it's loud and they stay up late now, but wait till those tea partiers come in next semester, it's going to be ridiculous"
