Rubberstamp Forum I Visit Had B/C Cheerleading Thread-I Just Posted My Own

[KittyWampus]

Am really upset that this forum would allow a thread for Bush/Cheney OR Kerry/Edwards.

It's for Rubber Stamping enthusiasts... one would think it'd disallow partisan threads.

Anyway, I posted my own thread. Not well written but I am so upset.

Will probably get kicked off the forum...

I am sad.

[cheshire]

2. I'm applauding you, I swear. That was fantastic. I think you need a blog.

Is that site for rubber stamps or ? Those folks are going to get an education if they read it. Really really well said.

3. It's For Rubberstamping. It's Supposed To Be An ESCAPE, So To Speak

but someone posted a Bush/Cheney thread that's gone on for 14 pages.

God in Heaven, someone on that thread said they loved ANN COULTER!

10. I'm so sorry, we had a thing like that on a vintage trailer site. My hubby

put a stop to it, but he sort of started it. Are you saying 14 pages of everyone talking about it or one longwinded fool? Have you told them that is wasn't the forum or are there monitors? It is a very heated debate this year and a lot is at stake. Sad though.

12. 14 Pages Of Freeper-like Brain Droppings From Various People

I live in an area that is essentially Liberal. Not used to wading into stuff like that.

[KittyWampus]

6. Kimchi, Do You Have Any Scrapbook Pages Posted Online?

I never thought of asking DU'ers if they did collage or scrapbooking...

this thought makes me smile! :)

[kimchi]

22. No; my scanner isn't working.

And I've just been too lazy to re-size any of my computer layouts. They aren't anything to brag about; but it is a fun hobby, when I get the time.

[DemBones DemBones]

23. "sew your ice culd be opend"??? What language are they speaking there?

RWers always think they're allowed to break the rules, whether online or in person.

:grr:

[kimchi]

24. That was my attempt at mocking the poor grammar of a freep-type.

I'm very sorry, but I'm not adept at feigning ignorance.

5. Somebody mentioned "that bill that was introduced by a democrat"

Email from Charlie Rangel, in case you haven't seen it:


******
On Tuesday the Republican House leadership made a cynical decision to bring my national service legislation (H.R. 163) up for a vote with no notice, no hearings, and no consideration.

This is legislation that I introduced at the beginning of last year that would instate a draft -- requiring all young people to perform some sort of national service and subjecting them all equally to the possibility of military service.

I felt that too much would be asked of our so-called "volunteer" army made up primarily of young men and women from inner cities and small towns who join the service for economic and educational opportunities not available to them in their disadvantaged communities. I also opposed the war and felt that if the wealthy and privileged were faced with the possibility of having to send their own children to war, the political support for this elective war would disappear.

I always knew the issue of a draft would be controversial and it should be. But what the Republican Leadership did was to bring up the bill on "the Suspension Calendar" -- normally reserved for ordinary, non-controversial bills such as the naming of local post office branches.

They did not bring the bill up because they supported it or even because they opposed it. (Most of them never read it even though it's only 12 pages.)

The reason they brought up the bill was to make a cynical political statement a month before the election. They thought they could address the public's suspicion that a draft will be necessary if Bush and the Republicans are re-elected if they held this surprise vote a month before the election.

Not only was this an abuse of the House of Representatives, but it also won't work.

The rumors of a draft are not due to my bill. They are due to the Bush
Administration's failed Iraq policy. It is now clear that they did not have a plan when they went into Iraq. This week we learned that former US Administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer has even declared that the lack of enough troops on the ground created "an atmosphere of lawlessness" that has made it difficult to stabilize Iraq. Recently, the Commander of the Iraq forces, General John Abizaid said that more troops are needed to secure Iraq's scheduled January elections. And The New York Times (Sept. 27) reported the Army is preparing to keep troops at the current levels in Iraq through 2007. All this when we all know that the National Guard and Reserve members have been recycled over and over and a back door draft is forcing people to re-enlist.

Where are we going to get all of these troops? I don't know. And neither do millions of Americans. So, they are rightly worried about a draft.

They deserve more than just an empty gesture. So do our troops, who are still on the ground, and left with the message that we couldn't take the time to discuss their situation and what should be done to relieve them. That's why I voted against this cynical ploy and told my fellow Democrats that this was not a serious vote.

I truly believe that if we continue Bush's failed policies in Iraq, a military draft will be unavoidable. Certainly, the idea that sacrifices should be shared in time of crisis is an issue that we must address. The Republicans want to sweep the sacrifices of the war in Iraq under the rug for their own political gain. We cannot let them get away with it.

Please pass this message on to your concerned friends and encourage them to visit www.charlierangel.org and click on the "Learn More" section near the poll for more information.

Sincerely,

Charles B. Rangel
Member of Congress

13. No kidding!!!! You rule!

See how your creations migrate along the path of the internet? :)

16. I'm honored

As long as we laugh at Chimpy and eventually kick him out of office, I'm stoked.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Gotta love

the pepto pink.

[paulk]

8. I read some of the "Bush/Cheney" thread

All that talk of God and praying and the Lord... It was really depressing. There is so much division between the left and the right anymore - so much disinformation - it's hardly possible to have a (political) conversation with people like that.

I think I'll have a cup of chamomile tea now...

[indie_voter]

14. Great job.

The wine boards I frequent go off on these Bush loving tangents too. For some reason the Bush lovers are louder, but forum polls posted show the support is about even between the two candidates.

[KittyWampus]

15. Interesting! Things Might Be Same Over There... Bushies Might Just Be

louder (read, more insecure).

[LittleClarkie]

19. Probaby why their signage tends to be bigger too.

Over-compensating for... something... do you think. Ahem.

[crispini]

21. Great post!

Good for you. Looks like you have some like minded folks on that thread as well. Very good! :)

[Bozos for Bush]

25. Don't fret, it was a great post!

No weapon is mightier than the truth, and you blasted them with it. Good job Cryingshame!

[KittyWampus]

26. Turns Out Someone Had A Kerry Thread Over There Too

I just didn't see it intially.

So there are a lot of Lefties and sane people posting there.

I think a lot of people don't post at all on such threads cause they don't want to get into arguments or heavy stuff.

Thanks to everyone who posted their support. I was shaken up last night.

:loveya:
