The Clinton Effect: Oral isn't sex, Dad! It's just a friendly salutation. Like "hi" plus.
The Palin Effect: Good news! I'm keeping it. I'm marrying my boyfriend. But don't worry- I'll go back to school 3 days after it's born.
“So you’re not a Republican either? How un-self-informed.”
Well as a registered Independent I would have to say no, no I am not a Republican. I happen to be voting Republican this year, yes, but I usually vote Libertarian…if you must know. I vote for whichever party is closest to my personal conservative beliefs and it since this election is going to be a deadheat I’m going to have to go with the Republicans this time around. Only a foolish person would assume a conservative is automatically a Republican just like it would be foolish to say every Liberal is a Democrat. Again, I stress my point that just because O’Reilly and the other right leaning pundits lean right that does not make them part of the GOP. Is Olbermann part of the Democratic Party? No of course not, he just favors them so you were wrong in saying that the Republicans derided Lynn Spears when it was their followers that did so. Much like it not being Obama that’s running that laughably bad smear job on Palin but his followers.
Also, I had not read any of your “points” since they were directed at someone else but I will do so now.
1.) I won’t get into racism arguments between you and another person. Especially if I’m not the one saying them so that’s not a point that I will address because I think being a racist is quite possibly the most unintelligent thing one could be.
2.)”universal HC, this is something every citizen of an industrial western democracy is already entitled to”
The U.S. also doesn’t have the incredible income tax percentages that the rest of the West has because of their lack of Universal Health care. How would raising taxes get us out the recession that the left so vehemently claims were are going through?
3.) I hadn’t realized someone else’s spelling and grammar was a “point”
4.)”the surge was only a small part of the downturn of violence in Iraq, and the tactic of looking the other way as Baghdad was ethnically cleansed of Sunnis is the biggest part of that “success”.”
The surge has absolutely not been “only a small part of the downturn of the violence” in Iraq. The surge is directly responsible for the handover of the most violent part of Iraq (Al-anbar) over to the Iraqi government. Now that the most violent region in the country is completely secure watch how those refugee numbers decrease (since it just happened earlier this month) And if you don’t want to take my word for it how about this: Barack Obama (one of the most vocal opponents of the surge) admitted himself when he said on the O’Reilly Factor “it (the surge) succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” Something working “beyond our wildest dreams” hardly sounds like “only a small part.” So basically the less insurgent controlled areas you have the less refugees you’ll have as well. Just watch.
Finally, I have made a call for more civilty on this forum and would like to extend that call to you. There is no need for name calling if you guys seriously want to debate things. That goes for everyone not just left-wingers, (I see the same amount of insults coming from the other side as well.) I realize I’m no authority on what goes on but I seriously think there is no reason for all this hostility.
