There is a difference - and this type of polarization is what is dividing our nation. Instead of respecting the right of others to disagree with you, you choose to vilify them for it. That is simply not acceptable.
Bravo!!!
Wish all of us could participate in the grt exercise that is the American elections with respect to all involved.... Ohhhh well I still I have faith

Should this have turned me on?

Default liberals and Obamatrons: admit you're WRONG!!!

Re-read my first post. It does not attack or say anything nasty about anyone other than the msm, Katie Couric, and the liberal viewpoint IN GENERAL. Are you Katie's sister? Her best friend? Her new boy toy? Well then, shaddup!

The fact is that I did not do what you say I did...but then, isn't that what liberals always do? The little white lies, the exaggeration, the near-hyperventilating hysteria as they engage in character assasination.

I bet if I ripped Obama to shreds, which I could easily do, you'd be defending him by insulting me and my intelligence, political accumen, etc. In fact, you had already posted such things about me before I ever said a negative word about any of you. You immediately began attacking me in a vicious manner, the same manner in which you love to chew on poor Sarah. That's because liberals are overly emotional/borderline hysterical, naive, intolerant, and irrational. That's a generalization, so don't get bent out of shape.
Yes, I have - and it's equally as disgusting. When you insult someone for their beliefs, it is indeed personal. This should be about discussing candidates - not insulting each other. Besides, "no personal attacks" is right up there in the TOS.

For the record, as I've stated before, I'm not a huge Obama fan. I have never defended him by insulting anyone's intelligence, political acumen, or any of the things you've said. I've not attacked you viciously - I've merely asked you to stop insulting others who disagree with you.

Then, of course, you go on to AGAIN insult a group of people who disagree with you by calling them names. It's pot and kettle all over again - and you just don't see that.

Again with the nastiness. Can you not conduct and intelligent conversation about politics without resulting to insults?

Not that it matters, I'm neither a liberal nor a conservative. I'm a moderate - and one who's sick of the nastiness from BOTH sides. We should be discussing the candidates, not each other. I simply don't understand why you insist on being so nasty.

looking4home has a real hatred for Couric, don't know why. When looking4home's posts anything about Couric I can almost see spittal flying from it's mouth as it types. You should check it out, scary stuff.

I rather judge people on what they've done and what they say when they are speaking their minds, not trying to parse a flaky reporter's questions.

How can people believe that a person like Obama who has done nothing important in the past will somehow do great things in the future?...
Because he comes across well on TV? How sad.

Palin and McCain have engaged in real fights and tackled real issues. You can always leave it to the cultural elites to judge a person by their diction and TV presence.
What in the hamfat has Sarah Palin done? Protected our northern tier from marauding Russian moose?

Just asking.
