Bailout plan

---

Again, I thought he did make a couple of good points, particularly concerning calming down and not buying into the fear. But the problem is that he couches even his good points in extreme partisan rhetoric that prevents him being taken seriously.And of course there are also some stupid points he made...

>>>What the hell does my disdain for Michael Moore have to do with who I'm voting for?

It explains it clearly, to me anyway.

Then you would be wrong, way wrong. Not to mention illogical.Do you wanna know how many people, both Democrat and Republican who can't stand that guy?Whoops, your prejudice is showing.

zips up

You would say I'm wrong no matter what I say, you're just that type of guy, the type I can't stand. You don't know who I'm thinking about? How can you say I'm way wrong? Oh I'm sorry, I forgot who I was "talking" to...My prejudice equals your idiocy, how's that?* Whoops*

Who burnt your toast today? Having some "issues"?

I wouldn't expect such stereotyping from you. I think your argument for Republicans applies just as easily to Democrats.

It might have at one time in the not-to-distant past...but things are changing. There are some things I don't like about McCain, but he won't sell this country up a river. Obama, however, was schooled by ACORN, and his financial advisors used to be CEOs for Fannie Mae. They're in this mess up to their necks.

I think the bailout plan is a terrible idea. I don't think it's right that when businesses are failing we should throw money at them. If I went bankrupt and lost my house, does the government slide me a new one? No, I live in an alley. I think the government should be doing something about this, but treating a symptom is useless.

I'm always having issues, I live on earth as a human. Houston, we have a problem.....

That's ridiculous and you know it. I don't disagree with you for the sake of disagreeing with you. I'm not that petty. In fact, if you'll care to consider, there are times when I've agreed with you. But if I think you're wrong, I'll say I think you're wrong. And we obviously have some fundamental differences in beliefs and opinions. So it is what it is.

And pray tell what kind of guy it is that I am, that you can't stand. Do you mean that you can't stand people that disagree with you? That would be sad.

You should know something about me. I hate conflict. When there's a person on a message board that I find myself disagreeing with a lot or having conflict with, I actually look for opportunities to agree with them. You are no exception. But I'm not gonna pretend to agree with you when I don't.

How can I say you are wrong? Because, in a nutshell, you're wrong. You claim that there is a connection between my opinion of Michael Moore and who I'm voting for. That is the height of lunacy. When I point out the fact that you're creating connections where there are none, instead of attempting to explain why you're right, you choose to make comments about me being "that type of guy" and calling me an idiot.

So it's pretty clear, you lost this one.
Better luck next time.

You'd think we'd have learned from the '20s, right?! Apparently not... Maybe the 'average American' will pick up on the hint when the smart ones start up with bank-runs again...

Obama, however, was schooled by ACORN, and his financial advisors used to be CEOs for Fannie Mae. They're in this mess up to their necks. As I said earlier, McCain has similar ties. You're completely disregarding the numerous people in McCain's campaign who also have similar tires to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

show me a politician without big business ties and I'll show you a wanna-be that has never been elected to anything

That's what I was implying :P

It's one thing to have ties...another to have the ex-CEOs on your payroll.

One thing's for sure, if they were on McCain's payroll it would be all over the net.
