I listened (to the original on C-Span) and it's hard to tell if it is booing or if it is people agreeing with him about how Social Security could go bankrupt. I'm sure you will ridicule that theory.

Why would the Democrats boo at this point?

"f steps are not taken to avert that outcome, the only solutions would be dramatically higher taxes, massive new borrowing, or sudden and severe cuts in Social Security benefits or other government programs."

Sorry to disagree with all those conservative blogs...

But does that change your opinion of Democrats, no! It's kinda like the KKK, in Mississippi in the 1950's. Labeling, tagging, leads to a form of racism.

  I am insulted by the entire post and tone. Do the troll 'conservatives' on this forum see nothing and formulate nothing but stereotypes of people in a binary fashion--left/right?
  
  Anybody insulting the President of the United States--legitimately doing so--should apologize. Would I personally 'require' Joe Wilson due that? No. Did/should he have enough decorum himself to do so? Yes. And a smart move.... And it was an apology that Obama accepted graciously and told others not to make a big deal about.
  
  As for my opinion on whether it was 'right.' Let the guilty party's constituency decide that. I understand his opponent's internet fundraising $ due to this incident has now reached $500,000.

  Any hope for discussing on this thread went out the door the moment I mentioned Fox. Of course saying they are not helping journalism spiraled down into how I just do not communicate up to par with the all knowing expert on the thread. I even looked back and saw he took two words from my post and accused me of sounding like the religion thread. At first I thought oh maybe I took things out of context, but someone is responsible for turning this into another mud slinging contest.

  Any hope for discussing anything real went out the door with the addition of these trolls, SP. Misha does indeed like to tease...I think it is left over from stuff he saw in the past, lol. I don't think he realizes how much it might effect you, honestly. (Consider Sandra and how she chats.) Of course it does not excuse anything.
  
  As far as me...I find nothing to sincerely talk about with this bunch. This is what they want.

  This time it went way beyond teasing. I just think taking two words I said and declaring me to sound like the religion forum is way out of line. Of course I have known all along I am just not popular with some. He does not care if any of this bothers me because for him it is funny. He may tease some, but he truly thinks pretty low of me I believe. I should not care, but I never have done this stuff to him. His telling me I need to improve myself is so insulting too. He would scoff if I told him what I think he needed to improve on lol.

I mean, they are protected, identities protected, no face-to-face; and yet their behavior is the same as if they were face-to-face. I've falling prey to it myself, but.....

  I am not being a victim, I am simply stating things the way things are. He does not like a lot of my stances, and he follows me around to command me on them. He even told me on a hub I had about how it is not good to move back home after college that there is something wrong with Americans for feeling that way. This hub was based on my personal experience, but he deigned to tell me I have a problem with my mindset, and I only feel that way because I am American. I have never come to his driving hubs and told him well he should not do this and that. There has been a lot of commanding on his part towards me.
  
  There are certain women on here that could say any random thing and he would stick up for them. He even implied once I was not a lady. So he does not like me and the way I am, so be it. I feel I do not need to improve because I happen to like myself a lot. If he is going to stay the way he is, why should I have to change. This has been going on for years, and people have even emailed me before where he hurt their feelings. He makes no apologies, and I had not said anything about him personally. Basically he and tk want to prove to the world I am illogical and not rational. They both like to post things like that about me, which is disparaging. This is standing up for myself because he would not do this to many other women.

However, I have to turn it after about five minutes because it is just way over the top. I loved the visual imagery during the health care speech with a picture of Obama in the bottom right hand corner, and then prime time push popping up right after it. They have headlines in red and many things are about ACORN.
