Re: 2008 Pres Candidate Talking Points
 

You guys are [URL="http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lot/25122-if-the-election-was-held-today-6.html#post475281"]unbelievable[/URL]. Once again you lost me at "Will appoint judges who interpret the law not make it. " Verbicide is uncool.

In the future, please, I beg of you, actually verify the b.s. you post because none of the links given support your tax claims.

If you appreciate and love the truth [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html"]seek it[/URL]!

Re: 2008 Pres Candidate Talking Points
 

For the love of God, stop believing everything that comes in your email! The reason they do this garbage is because they know most Americans are too lazy to do their own research. (Obviously).

Get your shit straight.

Re: 2008 Pres Candidate Talking Points
 

While some things in that document are true, I think overall the first clue that you should take the email with a grain of salt and not rely on it is that they don't spell Barack correctly. How reliable a source can you be if you can't take the time to correctly spell a candidate's name?

Re: 2008 Pres Candidate Talking Points
 

Don't insult me for the post, and don't insult my intelligence suggesting I believe everything I read. I was posting it because I thought it interesting it is circulating as an email. Sheesh!!! You guys can be a real bunch of a*sholes sometimes....

Re: 2008 Pres Candidate Talking Points
 

Looks good to me, I see no problems here.....J/K.

In hess' defense, she's asking for opinions on this, not stating it to be true.

SS's take is spot on.

Have you ever gone to school one day and realized that someone else was wearing the same exact thing that you were? You spend the rest of the day trying to hide and or avoid everyone you know hoping that no one else notices. Of course you get ratted out by your best friend and you feel awkward because now everyone is pointing and laughing. Yeah.............................

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Who said anything about believing the email? I received mine from my mother. Heaven forbid that I trust the woman who gave birth to my ass. I thought that she was more intelligent than to just send something without checking it out first. I guess I the apple did not fall far from the tree because I turned around and did the same thing.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I was only trying to provide some insight and possibly some useful information to the users of this sight. My mistake was not researching the information first. My apologies to the Warpath for my negligence and oversight. I will make a better effort to provide only reliable information from now on. That does not mean that I will stop posting my opinion however.[/FONT][/COLOR]

It's funny, I think people give more weight to some of these emails, than the actual words and statements that come from the candidates themselves. Amazing.
