One observes that now that Hillary has won a primary, all is quiet on this particular front.

There are soooooooo many more valid reasons to hate Juniorbush than to hate Hillary, after all.

If I were a judgmental Baptist, I might say that using the handle of "Christians4LessGovt"
and profanity might be, er, somewhat hypocritical. But, being a Pentecostal, I wouldn't


I agree with you
You shouldn't.
Profanity is in the eye of the beholder.

It would be hypocritical if I believed saying someone got their "ass kicked" was profane
and still used the terminolgy. But since I do not believe it is profane it is not hypocrital.

Referring to Baptist' as "judgemental", well, now that may be judgemental in and of itself
and thus hypocrital?

No, I think the word we're looking for in regards to Baptists is "heretics." I can see were there was some confusion though.



A joke, a joke!!  ;D

Actually, the proper term for kicking someone in the posterior is to kick their arse.
Ass, meaning donkey, was used as a euphemism for 'arse', but then it came to be considered profane.

Actually i do.

Politicians are humans. They get emotional, they get tired, they have doubts.


I get misty over commercials if I don't get my eight hours every night; I can only imagine the stress these people are feeling from fatigue.

On the one hand, I can appreciate lying to a pollster.  It really is none of their business and it only is utilized by candidates to figure out how lazy can they be.

On the other hand, it can lead to distrust of the outcome of elections.  Lots of exit polls in 2004 showed that Kerry was the clear winner.  When Bush "won", it only amped up my distrust of the whole process especially where electronic voting machines were in use. (Like my own polling station)

Right about now, I'm getting lots of calls about "issues."

I just say, Is this a paid poll?  They say, No. OK, good bye.

I have noticed that they are uninterested in your actual opinion.

They ask questions like "How do you feel about limited Las-Vegas gaming at horse and dogtracks, which will provide up to 5000 jobs and will allow the county to lower your property taxes?"
