tunaplanet 0 #27 September 10, 2004 Not at all. I wanted to see what issues were the most vital to electing Kerry into office. So far I've heard them. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #28 September 10, 2004 No, you've heard my major issues. I don't care as much about certian things as others do, and I care more about other issues then others do. Some people could base their entire vote on the Prochoice vs Prolife issue. Others could base it entirely on the military issues, yet others could base a vote only on healthcare. PK, yeah, I was hoping that this might have for once progressed beyond trolling.

tunaplanet 0 #29 September 10, 2004 Don't take it the wrong way. I actually respect the fact that you're the only liberal on these forums that is capable of intelligently describing in detail what you like about your man. I give you props. You have done your homework and believe in the man you're going to vote for because of his direction. Everyone else on here has the, "Anyone but Bush" mentality. I respect you for being original and manning up. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TypicalFish 0 #30 September 10, 2004 QuoteEveryone else on here has the, "Anyone but Bush" mentality. I respect you for being original and manning up. I guess I don't understand what the problem is with an "anyone but Bush" mentality... People are entitled to give a vote of "no confidence" as much as they are entitled to be behind their candidate 100%. Plenty of people are fired from a job for non-performance without a necessarily better candidate waiting in the wings."I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #31 September 10, 2004 QuoteI guess I don't understand what the problem is with an "anyone but Bush" mentality Because if he doesn't think it's a valid reason, it's not. Period. Personally, I think it's a pretty valid reason and one of the main reasons for me. I can think of no greater harm politically that could befall this nation than to keep Bush in office another 4 years. We'll suffer for at least a decade as a result of his policies if they're allowed to continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #32 September 10, 2004 QuoteThis is for the democrats. What do you like specifically about Kerry. Be as detailed as possible. Oh, and see if you all can do it without using the words, "Bush" or "Republican/Conservative". No smoke and mirrors, reverse spotlight, etc... Just your reasons why you like the man you'll be voting for in November. The simple answer is that I don't particularly like Kerry. Liking him isn't why he's getting my vote.

kallend 2,151 #33 September 11, 2004 QuoteQuote He can pronounce "nuclear". Which indicates that he's not a moron. Would you call Stephen Hawking a Moron because he Can't pronounce anything, or CLinton a Moron because he can't pronounce Kosovo? WoW that is pretty arrogant. I think this is the 3rd time you mentioned this too. I guess it shows how shallow you are and how you sterotype people so easily... Glad I am not in your class room... I be afraid of being judged on trivial pronounciations and not on my true intillect. Pretty Sad Coming From a Liberal Teacher. Funny, I said he's NOT a moron. Do you know of someone that can't pronounce "nuclear" properly, then?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #34 September 11, 2004 Quote He can pronounce "nuclear". Which indicates that he's not a moron. I was recently surprised to learn that the "correct" pronunciation of "nuclear" depends on whether you are speaking American, Australian or English. I'd stretch and say that means there can be regional dialect differences within various nations as well. I suppose that means that we're all morons for insisting that "our" pronunciation is the correct one.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That requires reversal of the letter order and turning "e" into a "u" sound which is not a feature of British, US or Australian English. No, "nukular" is in the same category as "hostaple", "liberry", "heffalump" and "jagular" - the "pre-school" accent.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

tunaplanet 0 #37 September 11, 2004 Don't fall for the liberal's ploy. This thread is about what you like about Kerry, not what you dislike about Bush. See, Kallend can't say what he likes about Kerry without spinning the spotlight around so what does he do? He starts nit-picking about the spelling of a word.
