I liked it Miles Smiley


But then again I'm a Limbaughite Tongue

I got an infraction point over that signature.

It just isn't worth it.... Sad

I think Levin says it better though.

we can get infracted for signatures?

It was probably actually one of the posts, but I'm guessing my signature didn't help Tongue

I've lost interest in the forum and I've wasted far too much time here.

To those I consider forum friends, it's been nice and I hope to keep contact in some form.

My initial thought upon hearing this story was that Rush would be well served by being Giffored (in fact, better yet, by being reduced to a permanent vegetative state), but then again he is serving the Democratic Party well as a fundraising machine and galvanizing the base through his utterances on radio.

So I am rather torn about him.  
"Giffored"? Wow, thanks for making Rush look civil in comparison.

You know, after this comment, I think it's time to stop holding my tongue on what I've thought of you ever since the first post of yours I had the misfortune to see: you are quite possibly one of the most ignorant hacks I have ever met on a political forum. And give yourself a pat on the back, because I've been to a lot.

Just to put it out there. And before you try and claw my throat out for being a fascist(not that you would know the actual meaning of the term), I would like to reiterate that I think Rush is the scum of the earth.

It's not so much a specific number as it is the philosophy of what you believe government should do. I find these views repugnant and obviously this brings down my opinion of anyone who advocates for such views.

There are plenty of social conservatives I like and respect.

What makes one horrible are not positions, but attitude. And Miles attitude in the recent days caused me to lost my respect for him.

EDIT: All right, I'm not going to judge a poster by one misstep, even if I strongly disagree with sentiments he expressed.

Can't say I disagree with the other posters here.  I mean, I've had it out with a lot of the fellas here- even from my own party this past week- but you've become our version of Politico and CaDan.  I have many political and ideological differences with guys like Clarence and Miles, but I still remain on good personal terms with them.  Please take my advice and try looking past someone's party or Political Matrix scores, because this is simply pathetic.

Not sure where the impression with me being a hack for parties or arbitrary numbers (LOL HIS FAVORITE NUMBER IS 7) comes from. If I'm a hack for anything, it's for issues.

And as far as personality, I'm not really concerned about tip-toeing around and wording my comments in a way that causes every member here to have a high opinion of me. Not interested

I do enjoy a good spat and some trolling myself

Depends who I'm talking to. As I was leaving the grocery store the other day, I had some loon tell me I needed to sign a petition to stop the expansion of our light-rail system into that city as it would bring more crime/the wrong people into the area in addition to forcing people out of their cars as the transit agency starts building bike lanes that take away local sovereignty.

I didn't feel like saying anything then, but I imagine if I did it wouldn't have been something that would have made him think highly of me.

Look, greenforest, I'm sorry if I implied that you were a hack. We disagree on this issue, but we both want the Democratic party to succeed, as such, I want to be on good terms with you. Call me naive, but I like it when we have a friendly atmosphere on the forum and I want all the posters to have good working relationships with each other. Can we move past this? Smiley
