@plainoldme,

Boring?? Only to you.

Boorish? I dont consider myself ill mannered at all. However, if you want to see me that way, thats your choice.

Bully?
Please explain how I have bullied you or anyone else on this forum or any other?
Its not possible to be a bully on a forum like this.

Would be nice if the American right were represented here by adult men rather than petulant, effeminate little boys. But, are there adult male conservatives?

One more comment, Finn. I just hope all the other libs here on this forum are feeling proud of their own? Actually I hope they are not, and would have the gumption to condemn this nonsensical poster, but so far, we haven't seen it.

Please eat a big effin slug of Obama BS and find yourself close to The Light.

Hopefully, someone will administer the H-M and you will draw breath again. At that point if you follow your previous path you will death rattle in about two days and good riddance.

@mysteryman,

All you do is bully and play games. You just lack a sense of personal responsibility. What you do is precisely the dictionary definition of bullying.

Furthermore, bullying can be taken much further on a forum than you have taken it.

Apparently POM has placed me on "ignore."

@plainoldme,

While I have rarely agreed with MM about much - I do, re DADT - I have always considered him to be polite. He normally posts on threads that I ignore anymore, so I could have missed something. I doubt it, though.

@plainoldme,

I've found Mysteryman to be one of the few conservatives to post in a mature, articulate way.

I'm guessing that is what you meant by adult male.

This past week or so I've heard Palin, O'Donnell and Angle make derogatory comments towards their male opponents, such as telling them to be a man, get their man pants on, etc.

Made me cringe! This in the same week as someone in the Dem camp referred to Whitman as a whore? And, for THAT we are supposed to be up in arms?

We can argue and disagree without hitting below the belt.

(If you have to hit below the belt, I can direct you to a couple of other posters that are deserving! But, not MM.)

@squinney,

Yes, I guess that's what she mean't.

Good Lord, can you not criticize a member of your pack, or must you lick their faces and butts with every ecounter?

I'm sorry, but, I have to disagree with both of you, squinney and edgar. I am heavily annoyed by the twisting thing that MM does. It's game playing. It's bullying.

MM claims a person can not bully on a forum but bullying is largely verbal behavior. There is nothing straight-forward about his manner at all. He's manipulative and manipulation is the essence of bullying.

Perhaps, the 'chemistry' between MM and each of you is different.

Now, I will agree that I have been in a rather negative loop as have many others here. I never use the bad behavior of others to excuse my own. I'm just stating a fact. The interesting thing is that I find a few posters with whom I agree and whose online personas I basically like tiresome at times. So I know that people must find me tiresome as well.

I left another forum several months ago, largely because I disliked the way the software for it was written. It was impossible to find threads and continue them over long stretches of time. I am not interested in threads that gather a dozen or so comments then disappear. They're just not fun.

I was funnier there. I'm not certain why I am not funny here. Truthfully, this thread is better in terms of right-left haggling than the other was.

A solution might be for me to put MM on ignore. Might be. However, I read the posts of people I have on ignore. Frankly, not seeing their posts directly when I enter a thread lessens their impact. I have put people on ignore because they savaged third parties and because I came to the conclusion they're crazy. I have not put anyone on ignore because I dislike them or disagree with their posts.

If I knew MM socially, I would avoid him. I find him a very angry person. I can not conceive of his being pleasant in a public situation. No, I would not put him in the category of having-a-gruff-exterior-but-a-heart-of-gold. I suspect he was the sort of kid who spent a great deal of time in detention.

Agreed that mm is very mature and articulate. He gets to his point and states it pretty clearly. He doesn't always agree with me, and he says so when he doesn't I believe, but I feel that he does it respectfully and I appreciate that. Most of his opinions, I agree with.

The 2010 Spending Record
Late last week the Congressional Budget Office released its preliminary budget tallies for fiscal year 2010, and the news is that the U.S. government had another fabulous year -- in spending your money, says the Wall Street Journal.

Spending rolled in for the year that ended September 30 at $3.45 trillion, second only to 2009's $3.52 trillion in the record books.

The costs of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) declined by $262 billion from 2009 as banks repaid their bailout cash, payments to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were $51 billion lower (though still a $40 billion net loser for the taxpayer), and deposit insurance payments fell by $55 billion year over year.

"Excluding those three programs, spending rose by about 9 percent in 2010, somewhat faster than in recent years," the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says.

What did Washington spend more money on? Once again domestic accounts far and away led the increases, says the Journal.

Medicaid rose by 8.7 percent and unemployment benefits by an astonishing 34.3 percent -- to $160 billion.

The CBO adds that if you take out the savings for deposit insurance, funding for all "other activities" of government -- education, transportation, foreign aid, housing and so on -- rose by 13 percent in 2010.

By far the biggest percentage-gain revenue winner for the taxpayer in 2010 was the Federal Reserve. Thanks to the expansion of its balance sheet with riskier assets, the Fed earned $76 billion during the year, a 121 percent increase.

The Fed's windfall is a perfect symbol of our current economic policy. The government is making money because it now controls so much capital, but it is robbing that money from the private economy in the process, says the Journal.

@talk72000,

Note libs here, like talk72000, use similar tactics as Obama. They accuse their opponents of their own problems. Obama now is using the fear card, accusing Republicans of voting with unclear thinking, playing on fear, etc. This after Obama himself tried to scare people over his accusation of foreign money fueling the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. I guess it would never occur to him that the people are voting against his failed presidency and policies, and that maybe the people are not as dumb as his voters out there a couple of years ago mindlessly waving change signs and chanting change? Did anybody bother to ask what kind of change? Now that they are finding out, maybe they don't like his changes?

Intelligent Americans just don't care for liberal, progressive democrats and these
Americans are going to back-up their disdain for Obama and his agenda this November.

okie, How do you account for the fact that Obama met most of his campaign promises? Are those "failed presidency and policies?" If they are, it's the American people who are confused - and that includes you.

Please detail for us Obama's failed policies? You just can't make a statement without proving them with evidence and facts.
