You question the validity and existance of some mythical document. To set you straight it is in a seceret cave in an unknown country and is guarded by a company of black panthers and Vic's attack dogs. However if you see a giant acorn flag just ask them.

Does the Rose Garden ring a bell?

No other conclusion can be arrived at. This simpleton has consistently voted to deny black children the opportunity to the same quality education that white children have access to. This simpleton has consistently voted to keep black families in poverty. This simpleton's voting patterns have ensured that black children would be absent, fathers. In most cases, never knowing who their father is! Just as surely as Sherman marched through Atlanta, destroying everything in his path, she has been every bit as effective in destroying the black family. Three generations have been decimated by her ideology, and her dismantling of their families is unparalleled. The KKK could not have devised a scheme more effective than that which she has been a...

I see alot of Dem versus Rep on these comments. Everyone is defending their side tit-for-tat all over the place!

I have been a registered repub my whole life but I have come to see that neither side is faultless and both sides have robbed us of billions and billions of our tax dollars.

I still relate to the Conservative side of things much more than the Liberal side but my eyes have been opened.

I have come to believe that neither side is worth defending---vote all the bums out!

Do you know it is wrong to steal? To lie? To murder? How do you know these things?

HERE IS THE ONLY GOOD NEWS of the day:
You need to know there is a God who created you. God is real and HE loves you. HE wants you with HIM for eternity, but you and God are separated by a barrier, impossible for God, or us, to reach across.

God provided a solution, a remedy to this situation: HE send HIS Son Jesus, to take our sins upon HIMSELF, to die as the full and necessary payment for those sins. Finally, Jesus conquered death for us.

The price for your sins being forgiven (forgotten forever)? Take hope in what HE has done, look to Jesus, accept and confess that you have sinned, ask for God's forgiveness of your sin....

All I asked for was a modicum of civility.

You (wrongly) assumed that the majority of conservatives approve of death threats.

You and I both know that this is not true.

Please, stop spreading lies.

"All I asked for was a modicum of civility. Is that so difficult?"

Funny when I first came here I asked for the same.

And after recieving none I now give none so please just spare me.

And you are not my friend, my neighbor, or my co-worker.

As far as I am concerned evey single one of you who just sat there and said nothing while one of your fellow conservatives wished death on Olympia Snowe this afternoon is complicit by sin of inaction.

Anybody who resorts to death threats, or stands with such a person is my enemy,and the enemy of American Values pure and simple.

Perhaps when I see calling your fellow conservatives on the carpet for being inappropriate then I'll buy your crocodile tears for...

Snicker away. Have fun!

And along your way, maybe you will realize that there are people whose views are not "myopic", even though they don't mesh with yours.

If we ever met face-to-face, your attitude would probably be different. I'm just an average gal, as you seem to be. This TH posting stuff is kind of like driving on a highway--it's easy to honk and give the finger when you're anonymous. But you wouldn't do it to your friend, neighbor, or co-worker.

you know why the paid trolls are always on the case of Haliburton and the others..and defend ACORN. ACORN is in the business of "propositioning"..especially when it comes to young, preferably 13 yr old illegal girls for sex trafficking slavery. And when one gets a kickback one does have to defend them..maybe they would defend Halliburton and the others if those companies would invest some of their ill gotten profits into setting up ACORN with some brothels.
This is the democratic way, ya know..anything goes as long as it's corrupt and not one of those
vile corporations making eeevillle money for their shareholders and providing honest jobs for their employees.

You can "snicker" all you want, does that mean you are in favor of tax dollars going to fund ACORN when it is obvious that ACORN is willing to assist in child prostitution?

Do you have children? If so, how would you feel if your child were sold as a sex slave to another country, funded by that country's government? If you don't have children, think about how YOU would feel if it happened to you.

The exposes of ACORN are not finished--they just haven't gone to court yet.

that is what citizens will get during those well synchronized 'end of life counseling sessions' conducted with the goal of minimizing costs by determining wheather or not a citizen is 'worth the cost'.

Unfortunately or is it fortunately for Snowe, she does not have to live by that 'requirement' it only applies to 'we the people'.

I PRAY THAT THE AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR CHANGE - GET EVERTHING THE EDUCATION CZAR AND OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS PLANNED FOR THEIR HEALTH.

1."I can probably tell you how Janelle would have replied. The poster (paddy) wished Snowe would die early. That comment should be removed from TH comments and most everyone here would agree. TH is a privately owned website and they make the rules(freedom of speech does not apply). Hoping people will die in a post is not condoned here and they should be removed."

Too bad Janelle could bring herself to make that simple admission. And john -check the thread-I answered her initial questions civily just like I'm doing with you now. Perhaps you might notice her chasingme from thrad to thread asking my age. Which make me question if "she" is a she because most "ladies" don't discuss such things even on chat boards in my experience....

Val.... why can you not answer a simple question without asking another question in order to respond? I am only gonna answer your question if you answer mine. What kind of kiddie game is that? Why dodge the question? Answer the question promptly and honestly..then ask your question. You might actually spark a meaningful debate. You may want to run for office Val.. you got the makings of a great politician. Avoid the question.. ask other questions totally off topic.

"when you answer my one question, then I will answer yours.

I will NOT "debate" anybody who stands with a person who would wish death on somebody like Paddy did today.

The Facts:

1. He wished Olympia Snowe would die early.

2. Townhall moderators deleted his post.

3. Do you agree with or condone his post?"

I guess you're answer to this will be "how old are you?" Its been your answer every time so far
so I won't be surprised if that is your next retort.
