Pollies always know how to spoil your day, don't they?Tony. There's a debate? Really? I guess I need to plug the TV back in. It's all that digital swapover thing; I'm just getting used to not watching any of it.

Members wildrose Posted September 27, 2008 Members Report Posted September 27, 2008 I dvr'd it (loving dvr - first time we've had it! no more videotaping!) so I've not watched it yet. This way I can fast forward any bickering...hmm...I guess I might as well not watch it at all, huh? LOL! I read in the paper this morning that there didn't seem to be a clear winner in the debate anyhow. I am glad they went ahead and did it. I am hoping to learn a little more about each candidate than their attacks on each other's records... Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Ian Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 This election has been going on so long, and everyone has had their say OVER AND OVER AND OVER, that surely there's nothing more to debate Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Contributing Member Jordan Posted September 27, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 27, 2008 Watched it was not impressed, It just reaffirmed my poor opinion of politico's and lawyers. I think if you want your money they took to go to the rich vote republican, if you want your money they took to go to the poor vote democrat. Given my current state of financial sparseness I guess I am a democrat now. Quote
Members okiwen Posted September 27, 2008 Members Report Posted September 27, 2008 Was that the poor that try to go to work and improve themselves or the poor that stay at home with a hand and cup out that you were referring to? I think that I am neither Democrat nor Republican but a Constitutional Conservative. Neither of the parties mentioned have MY best interests in mind. Quote - - - -Kevin Orr
Members JRedding Posted September 27, 2008 Members Report Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) What a choice, the lesser of two evils, HMMMMMM!!!!!! I'm seeing one candidate who already said he doesn't want to choose sides ( shouldn't the president be on our side ? and who's the other side he's talking about ? ) and another that if a nap isn't already the focus of his afternoon it will be before his term is up. ( no disrespect intended to the elderly, just my obversation ) Edited September 27, 2008 by JRedding Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted September 27, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 27, 2008 The definition of poor is way up in the air, politicians seem to have one that is based on their reality, the poor working class another, and then there are the poor by choice that spend most of their energy finding the next handout. Why is it that the politicians have the best free medical care in the world and give themselves raises every year?, while most working class people cannot afford the medication that will keep them alive? Look, I spent most of the past 45 years working my self to the point I could no longer do it and live. It took me 3 years and every penny I had plus a bankruptcy due to medical bills, to fight the government for the social security disability benefits that I others of the working class have paid for all these years. So yes, I now consider myself to be in the poor working class segment of this society although I can no longer work. And it is very disconcerting to me that having never taken a handout in my life, I am now one of those that the majority of people in this country think are just out to get a free ride, when the real bums are the ones who have the keys to the asylum and are running it into the ground. Oh, but don't worry they will all walk away rich at the taxpayers expense. Depressingly bitter huh? Quote
