Why didn't you tell me about this echo chamber before? :mad:
I'm sorry... I will do better. :(
Okay, weird tangent.
Right behind my house, there's a HUGE group of fields and farmland and such. I forget how exactly I discovered this, but if you go to one specific spot in one of the fields, and shout really fucking loud, you can totally hear it echoing across the housing estates.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

We totally have to go out there and yell 'well said' and 'exactly' to each other one of these days! We have to stay true to form, after all.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

First I see Eliot's comment, which cracked me up....!!!
Then you, Roland. Your reply was funny in of itself....then I click on the link.....oh man!!!
Thanks people. I needed that. I just worked at a Healing Forum at the school my friend's son - who committed suicide in January - attended. Thanks for the humour...our...our...rr!!

This is a basic tenet of transactional analysis, the branch of psychology that studies human interactions: When we talk down to others, or in a parental fashion, we generally hook their inner child reactions.

I believe the problem is that no one CAN answer that question without admitting that Nader truly doesnt care about creating a viable third party (unless its called the Ego party).

I'll admit that I really just can't answer the question...given I know basically nothing about the man...I'm clearly here for the mutual masturbation...
The others, however, have spoken for what they see. Because someone doesn't answer to your agenda, or sweetpotato's or my2hands, doesn't automatically slot them into a position you'd like them to be in. It shows they have a different agenda.

too funny. how many questions have my2hands and other obama supporters failed to answer?? maybe i should take the angle you all take and just start to cry about how mean you are and scream 'i don't owe an explanation to you!!!!!!!' then talk about passing pm's back and forth at the unfair treatment of asking me defend my beliefs?
why hasn't obama done ANYTHING w/ his time in the senate other than going on a media tour missing almost 1/2 the votes???
and i started a thread months ago asking for obama supporters to give me some reasons to vote for him over anyone else. no one could do it. just like you guys can't do it when i put you on the spot and ask why you support him. other than the moving, groundbreaking dissertation of 'he's the only realistic option, get over it!!'
maybe he sees the issues he pushes in between cycles as more important or maybe he hopes ppl will start supporting better candidates.
what do you want him to do exactly.
maybe we should compare resumes of nader and obama? what has obama done, other than go to court to get everyone else thrown off so he could run in his senate race unopposed??? he lies about being involved in bills, he lies about lobbyists, he lied about rezko....
sorry, but there's so many questions on obama i've asked you guys and none of you could EVER give an answer, so it seems a bit funny to see you guys here demanding answers when you steadfastly refuse to ever give any yourselves.
also, where are the anti libertarian threads? a few weeks ago ppl were bitching that nader took too long to start running which proved he wasn't serious, but didn't the libertarians just pick their nominee???? so why aren't ppl up in arms about that and questioning their intentions?? i think i know why, tho i doubt you'll be truthful about it
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

I've answered the "why I'm voting for Obama" question a couple of times....oh well...
I'll say this, Nader has done some good things, hooray for him, but...he's very very very far to the left...I want someone in the middle...
as for the lack of Libertarian threads, I'm not sure I understand your point...I would be willing to bet the McCain folks may be more upset than Obama folks...
also, Libertarians have been consistent in attempting to build there party, they just don't show up every for years and say "hey, look at me"....
