Old myths die hard. Texas did reserve the right to split into five states, however.

Looks like Ohio did alright, although I know a few people who had some problems voting.

You need to check the wording of the "gay marriage" issue. The one that passed in OH a couple of years back took away more rights from unmarried heterosexual couples than it did for gay ones.

Oh - I see munter number 3 turned up - the coven is complete.
I've taken the liberty of highlighting the sentence that shows your argument up for the tosh that it is - 'bringing up heirs' - err how do you suppose a gay couple would be able to produce heirs or have a family line ??

I know you like to appear trendy and stuff but it perplexes me why you constantly allow this to override your common sense. Maybe you should stick to opera

As for the other 2 - well neither has the brainpower to grasp any form of coherent argument - that's why they are on ignore - but they can't even grasp that concept and continue to stalk me round these boards.
No doubt I have been accused of being anti-gay by these posts - I'd like to see how they work that one out but I won't hold my breath.

BigDavyG

Nope.
To be honest if I had the right to vote in this country I would most likely abstain - the Reps have been proven to be liars, cheats and a general embarrassment and the Dems remind me of the lib-dems back home just standing their slating the opposition with no recognisable, sensible policies of their own.

As for all the negative campaigning - that's most likely because even the parties themselves couldn't think of anything decent to say about their own candidates.

Republican Charlie Crist got in as Florida Governor. His opponent had no chance, being seen as a do nothing Congressman who hardly turned up for work. He also did'nt have the resorces that Crist did, $20 million as opposed to $7 million.

We will now see if the new Governor keeps his word about property insurance and raising the threshold for Homestead. I am not hopeful.

1) property insurance is escalating out of control in FL because people keep building not much more other than "wattle and daub" huts in the middle of hurricane zones.

Insurance companies don't want to insure them, so Citizens has no choice but to.........and they're not in the market to make a loss. To lower the premiums, would be in effect telling insurance companies in Florida to write policies at a loss......
how is that good?


It was funny to see Crist snub Bush though.

The same way as anyone else would. They have a child or children, adopted or their own. Obviously this poster has never heard of either of these two ways of having a child. FHI in many societies the family line is through the female, this being a much surer method of the child actually being the bloodline successor


Holding your breath and not saying the first thing to enter your head might be the way to go here.

Yes I delighted Crist did'nt want to be seen with Bush

You have to go with the trendy stuff Davy, any resistance is futile. What amazes me is the hypocrisy of the modern age thinkers from the PC crowd who immediately attack any dissenters in an Orwellian thought police style in the same fascist manner that they are supposed to abhor.

Good News about Bill Nelson, Glad to hear he kept his Senate seat!! I was hoping he would

One cracker in my office has met Kathleen Harris. He says he voted for her yesterday "because he admires her principles and reluctance to back down when criticised in 2000".

Stupid redneck.

Yes its all rather ironic, but then again they don't get that either - they don't do irony or even humour, just shouting, screaming, accusing and dourness.

Still I do have some pity for them - it must be crap not being able to express their own personal opinions on a given topic without first having to check the handbook to make sure they are following the party line.
At the end of the day though if they don't have the intelligence to form their own opinions maybe this politics/beliefs/ethics by numbers approach is the best they can do.

You are either as thick as two short planks, or you deliberately misunderstand. She was writing of the origins of marriage.

And what are you doing in this post?
