RonJeremy Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I am personally sick of all the political threads and the bickering going on lately. The Mods have even put a thread up recently about this topic and yet the threads continue. I don't even read the threads anymore. I don't consider myself Un-American but IMO it is getting ridicilous. I can't wait for the election to be over. Then again, after the next President is elected, they will be fighting about why the wrong person or right person was elected...it will never end. :mad: I used to spend more time in the tailgate but this whole trend is turning me OFF!! Am I alone here with this thought?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually quite the contrary...:laugh: I just don't think I am going to change anyone's mind on who they vote for. I am going to vote for who I want and I don't care who other people vote for...none of my business...and I "ain't" gonna convert anyone to my beliefs!!

TheSteve Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Two more months. Everyone knows Bush has more specific plans than Kerry anyway. All his promises won't come to fruition, bu atleast he has specfic goals outlined. John Kerry has nothing but general vague ideas on what he could do. Visit their partisan biased sites and look at the vast difference between their plans for America. Then ban me because I posted about politics in an anti political topic.

Prosperity Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I voted yes, but it is mostly because I am tired of hearing political cheap shots in threads that have nothing to do with the elections, everything from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 How about, "No, they'll be gone in a couple of months." I've actually enjoyed a lot of the political discussion on this board. I'm one of the most informed voters I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullbackIsKey Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 i tihnk political discussion is important for people who care about politics. Especially now, considering that the election is a few months away. I personally have a hard time finding people who are willing to talk politics in person, but the ones that i do i find are quite similar to the people on this site. I've never been interested in politics until the last couple of months, i guess somsething about the current situation bit me the wrong way and lit a political fire under my ass. I think that if the tone of political debate/conversation between the 2 sides that have erupted in this country will change when our leaders start talking about the things we care about truthfully, and i'm referring to both sides here, both are out of line and both mislead and lie and namecall.v In about 6 months I've not had a single view of mine changed by anybody, because i can't think of too many instances where people have used logic and solid reasoning to illustrate a point. The one thing that I want to hear about from Bush is about the BS that has transpired at the FCC, and what he plans to do with that after elected, who he will put in as the new head. I'vbe read newspaper articles stating who the likely appointees are, and a bio on the most liely candidate, but I want to hear it from Bush, that whole super bowl fiasco was a huge deal in our contry, but all i hear about is Iraq, not even the taliban. Kerry's position on the topic would be nice too, but I guess good luck with that, right? Like I said, we need honesty from the higher-ups about the issues that affect the daily lives of americans, then the tone of discussion will change.

Dude, this thread was specifically against political threads, and you start ranting about politics? It's just like you right-wing conservative, Bush loving Republicans to start a political fight. After all, 9/11 was Bush's fault, Iraq never had any weapons (they use spitballs), and Bush snorts cocaine w/ Michael Irvin while his wife smokes doobage w/ Ricky in the oval office. Why do people like you always have to state your political views, even in a thread that is not supposed to be political????

Arsenic Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 The 2 presidental candidates are in a pi$$ing match. They're bringing up subjects that doesn't matter much, to me. I don't really care who did what in a war many years ago. It means nothing now. What matters to me is "What are your presidential plans for the next 4 years?" That is it. I'de have alot of respect for a candidate that took the negative press from his opponent without creating any of his own. That person would get my vote.

I agree. He even, on occasion, has the nerve to post well thought out ideas and insightful replies. Then, when I disagree with them, he doesn't even attack me personally!!!!

Darth Tater Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Fortunately, football has started so much of the vitriol we've seen in the political posts is probably the result of a football-related stress syndrome which will hopefully abate for the next 5 months. Every week, we can now spit our venom against trash-talking fans of other teams or attack Pastabelly for his latest anti-Redskin rant (like why the 5-0 Redskins will not make the playoffs). Of course the politcal threads will not dry up. The attack pieces may go away but whoever looses will be talking about what fools voters are or hatching various conspiracy theories while those whose guy wins will be telling the loosers to stop whinning (even though their case may be valid). Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
