turtlespeed 226 #26 December 22, 2010 QuoteFair enough, so do you agree with his decision or not? Do you think he made the right decision or the wrong decision? Why do you think that it is beneficial to have somebody in power who never changes his mind? What do his OWN standards have to do with this? He has been elected to do what is best for the country. I am sure that often those two concepts are not the same. I would prefer somebody in power who decides base don wat is best for the country, not just stubbornly upholds his OWN standards. Good questions - I'll think about it and respond later.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #27 December 23, 2010 Quote Why do you think that it is beneficial to have somebody in power who never changes his mind? But this isn't a question of always sticking to one opinion (Bush), in spite of new information. This is a repeated pattern of talking about doing something and then deciding it's not politically expedient. Quite a different thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not true with Obama, looks like he has changed his mind on gay marriage. He says he may be in favor of it now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doughboyshred 0 #30 December 24, 2010 Actually what he said was that his views on gay marriage are evolving, but that he still supports civil unions. Guess, once you're president your views aren't allowed to change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LyraM45 0 #32 December 25, 2010 Quote Quote Quote He said he would stand up for the rights of the internet to be free . . . he renegged on his promise. It sickens me how easily he does that and at what frequency - HOW IN THE HELL can you possibly stand behind someone like that - (Universal You) He also said he'd repeal DADT. And he did. Yet I don't see you over in that thread cheering him on for keeping his promise. [Note, this statement should not be considered my endorsement of the FCC's decision on Net Neutrality, but merely pointing out an inconsistency in turtlespeed's reasoning re: Obama] Why would I cheer someone on that I oppose? So you're basically saying no matter what this guy does you'll take a big crap on it no matter what? That seriously makes me take the things you do say with less credibility over somebody who might feel similar feelings for obama but is willing to admit the guy did something good/right when he deserves it. I was not a huge fan of Bush, but when he deserved applause, then I gave it to him and hoped he'd continue to do more things that made me want to give him an atta' boy. I didn't just ignore an action from him that deserved praise because overall I didn't like him. I think that's a little narrow minded, honestly..... and I think for whatever reasons, a lot of people had such hatred for Obama from the start and refuse to step out of their hatred box for a second to be able to do exactly what I mentioned above with Bush.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
