Shug, you just don't know what you are missing. :D

Yes and that's acceptable in my book..no forum can survive with just pictures of puppies and games...all forums have to have serious discussion and sometimes quite heated because of differing views..but bullying altho' I've seen it on many, many forums...some real nasty stuff as well...I have honestly never seen it on here.. and that's what makes this forum not only different but far superior to most..

I agree with this 100% also.. I love the fact that I can discuss politics and even disagree with someone in one thread.. and then totally agree with them in another thread with a different topic. I'd be bored to tears with games and puppy pictures. I need to exercise my brain and express my opinions. This is what makes this forum worthwhile.

Based on responses to a few questions that I have asked of our group recently I have come to the following conclusions and was wondering if you agree. We are a pretty liberal group for the most part as I have never seen any really hard core right wing postings. Seems like most like Obama. We are not a particularly religious church going folks. Although a few seemed to lacking financial security, most appear to be OK financially. Some of us have major health problems, but most seem to be reasonably healthy. Based on my observations I have come to the conclusion that conservatives, religious, political or other wise don't join forums like this.:cool:

I guess I'm one of the exceptions. I'm conservative and don't like Obama. But I don't participate in political or religious threads normally. Don't see the point as most have their minds made up and are not influenced by a poster on a message board. So what's the point? I come here for laid back entertainment, not for heated discussions. That's why I stay out of those threads.

So there may be more conservatives here than you think.

Well, I hate to admit it, but I voted for Obama both times and if he were able to run again I would sure as hell pass.
He is a completely a new breed of politician that I don't understand or agree with.
 
So I guess it's time to move this thread over to the political/hot topics forum? And I'm the one getting accused of making everything political!
 
Hell, I would have voted for Bill Clinton again if I could have. President Roosevelt (D) was elected 4 times then the Republicans figured out a way to not let that happen again. The day he died in 1945 all the kids in my school were sent home early to parents who were in tears.

I would have voted for Clinton again as well. I didn't realize until recently that TN which always goes for Republicans, actually went for Clinton in 1996 by a very narrow margin.

Roosevelt is my hero - and especially his wife.

I know I have the distinction of having voted for Bill Clinton more often than any other member of the forum. He entered politics by running for congress from a congressional district in northwest Arkansas. He lost that election but he got my vote. I then supported him for governor I can't remember how many times and of course twice for President.

:grin: When I first joined here I was welcomed and felt I was not going to be treated as I was on other forums " Like a new chook put into the chook house where the "old" hens had ruled for some time and didn't appreciate the invasion of " New" hens ( mind you the old forum I mention banned some of the "Old" Hens then closed the forum)
I m no way the smartest chook here but I have never once been criticised for my lack of education.

I've heard stories about how my great-grandfather (a farmer) hated Roosevelt with a burning passion but would never miss one of his radio "chats". Mom said he would pace around the living room swearing at the radio and on occasion would throw a shoe at it. He didn't feel that Roosevelt was a friend to the farmers. We visited Roosevelt Campobello International Park a few years ago and I was telling one of the docents about it and he said, yep, they either loved him or they hated him but not much in between. With four terms, it appears that more loved him.
