Believe it or not some people can even stand both chevys and fords...same concept

amen...

but it's like explaining you don't trust organized religion

"i don't go to church"
"you mean you don't believe in God or morals or anything?"
"no, i mean churches manipulate people and many are consumed with hypocrisy and greed so i believe and worship on my own with my own personal relationship with religion"
"oh...so you don't believe in God."


glad at least 1 person gets it...

i totally agree with you on the two party issue. i am not a Rebublican or Democrat either i am a Conservative. so in retrospect i shouldn't have called you a Democrat but I had tunnel vision and really wasn't thinking about what you were actually saying. so my apologies. with that being said though you can't always ride the fence.

oh by the way i like Fords too!! i would kill for an '03-'04 Cobra

Haha its funny that thunderstruck is trying so hard to sound smart just because the op said Democrats were idiots. Intelligence has nothing to do with insight or wisdom, democrats may possess the first but they lack in the latter. Although neither party has shown anything great lately, I vote for who stands for the important issues. Voting solely on party is a very uneducated decision, Obama sucks btw!!! **** liberal pigs, socialists, and everyone else trying to destroy the country im sacrificing my well-being for. Why does America vote for the candidates who want to kill your babies, take your guns, and raise your taxes??

To say bush didnt contribute to this is blindness or pure ignorance.
Would not argue the point... Bush did contribute. Yet it is the policies of Obama and his coparts in congress that re-inforced this behavior. Bush didnt do anything to stop it, just like the problem we are having on the border. Obama will make things significantly worse. His way of thinking (based on his limited voting record and the thinking of those that "worship him") will ruin the American conservative movement and we will become a Social Progressive Labor Party state vs a Conservative Principled Capitalist state.

yeah but you are forgetting one other factor as well... Bill Clinton. alot of things he put into place we are dealing with right now as well. you also proved my point of you can't always ride the fence and thats what Goerge W. did alot of. He wanted to have a Reagan esque legacy but didn't follow Reagan's model. Obama has no idea what he is doing and it is apparent after the last 60 days. AIG is one example.

It's not difficult to stop using internet slang and shorthand for 2 minutes out of the day and it just might be my opinion but I believe if you throw yourself into a serious conversation then doing so is a good idea...I guess I tend to write better when the topic is serious but when you've been through as many writing classes as I have it becomes instinct, didn't mean anything by it and if you were just poking fun then I apologize (but rest assured I am not offended, I consider it a compliment)

the majority of the rest of your post I can agree with though

Your sacrifice and risk is deeply appreciated by myself and surely everyone else on here.

EDIT: deleted part of post...no need to start a deeper discussion
