WHEREAS I DISAGREE WITH THE PRICIPLE I REALZE THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE 99% MORE INFO THAN ME AND CERTAIN GOALS AND AGENDA'S AND TIME FRAMES, SAYING I WON'T TOLERATE IS KIND OF AN ON THE FENCE STATEMENT, WHEN WE FIRST WENT TO WAR I TOLD EVERYONE AROUND ME WE WOULD BE AT WAR FOR 10-20 YEARS, THUS I'M A REALIST ON THIS POINT, DON'T LIKE BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS Hence your disapproval of McCain during the presidential race. MAVERICK EQUALS ERRATIC, IMHO, HE WAS WAY WAY TO EMOTIONALLY VOLATILE AND THUS HAD A HIGH PROBABILITY TO MAKE A BIG BAD DECISION THAT HE WOULD STAY WITH NO MATTER WHAT AND MAKE THINGS WORSE, You were won over by Obama's words, AGREE and have supported him since. I'M GIVING HIM THE BENEFIT OF HE DOUBT DUE TO LOTS OF PROBLEMS ON HIS PLATE, I HAVE NOT AGREED WITH HIS LEADERSHIP STYLE, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS JUST BECAUSE SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT BUSH HE WAS EXTREMELY DECISIVE AND MOSTLY WHAT HE WANTED HE GOT, OBAMA SEEMS TO SAY OH WE NEED THIS, YOU FOLKS WORK IT OUT, AND WE GET VERY AVERAGE SOLUTIONS, I'M AM EXTREMELY DISAPPONTED IN FINANCIAL REFORM, IN TWO WEEKS WE GET TARP, TWO YEARS ZIP ON FINANCIAL REFORM, IMHO, UNLESS THE FINANCIAL REFORM WORKING THRU CONGRESS IS OF A HIGH DEGREE THIS WILL BE A COLLOSAL FAILURE
How did you adjust your feelings on the war when Obama stayed the path, and stuck with the previous administration's plan in the middle east?..and if your answer is that you still despise war and any president that partakes in such conflict, then how do you still support Obama? I GAVE HIM A D FOR HIS FIRST YEAR.....

based on his performance from where i sit most all he has done is play it extremely safe on everything, taking the "if i do this and it doesn't work out, i can't get in that much trouble................this is the type of change no one can believe in..................he is still likeable, and most trust him, yet, it would seem to me he has pleased no one and enraged few,ie, meaning the ones who were po'd he was president arre still po'd, this will not change

life, things in history play out over time, like bush has said often, my legacy will not be known until 50 years from now, and i agree with him, in 50 years two generations in the middle east will have played there role in the world, and perhaps, peace will be pervasive there because so many are sick and tired of constantly fighting with one another over stupid shyte

i've always dispised clinton, he's loved by most democrats because he was a strong democrate, and he did do some good things, welfare reform was a great policy..........yet, in my eyes he is a dobule dealer, he allowed so many rich people to create new loops holes and get special laws just for them shows his true stripes

obama, hell i don't know what will happen, it is just that in times of crisis, deciciveness matters, and haven't seen much of that to impress

..he is still likeable, and most trust him

well,
thats because this guy has never run a business, made a payroll, really done anything in his life to amount to much...what exactly did he organize as a "community organizer" anyway? i understand that he worked on a grand total of 2--thats 2--court cases as an attorney. i do not for the life of me see how anyone could have voted for this empty suit. on that entire thread i started, there was not ONE post stating why anyone voted for this guy. and if you DO ANSWER here, please, please, drop the "it's George Bush's fault" or the "i hated bush" junk.

this is obama's mess now..and I'll bet he and rahm are loving it..rahm stated himself that they should never "waste a crisis"--these are times the govt can grab more power as the people are in an emotional state.

the oil slick will force cap and trade forward; remember obama's words during the campaign that his plan will "bankrupt the coal industry"; further, obama and company are dreaming of $5 a gal gasoline.

the AZ law will force "comprehensive immigration reform"--i.e. votes for the dems. book it.

trip,
did you vote for obama or not?

TweetOf course life has conflict. I thought it was a given that my use of "conflict" in this thread means war.
I'm not saying that McCain was the correct choice in the presidential race, but, "maverick"?..I would try not to invest so much in a nickname. I'm sure you know that nicknames are often great overstatements of one's peronality.

"a realist...it is what it is..." hmm...no need in really digging up bones for this, but if I'm not mistaking, I remeber you absolutely despising war and on the point of 'no reasonable excuse or grounds for war'.(not quoting just remembering your stance on the subject.) There are posts where you stated something to the tune of, 'nothing good coming from war, regardless of circumstance, and not supporting anyone's decision for war'. Again, not exactly quoting. But you know where you were. You saw no need for war and couldn't digest, tolerate it, whichever fits...Now with the quote above. It's as if you've either developed an understanding of certain wartime circumstances, or you've simply adjusted your view based on leadership.

I'm not picking at you, but picking your brain.

well, i did not take conflict to mean war, in my business conflict is rampant, conflict of values, etc.........to it has a specific meaning for me, so i didn't pick it up as war

maverick is a BRAND NAME earned over twenty years, the general populace were not in a risk taking mood, please note when palin was picked i said give it 3,6,9 weeks, and after her initial bump it was downhill, people generally hate surprises, imho, i thought if he had chosen Tom Ridge, and didn't pull that stunt around that first debate, he'd of had a better chance

i'm a ghandi kind of guy, peace and change thru non-violence.........it does not mean if you hit me i won't hit back

hey, horse i took your post seriously, you said, help me understand, i don't know if i did a good job, tired though

Tweeti stated several times i did not vote for him

i've only voted once in my life, hated clitnon, voted for papa bush in 93, i was also scared of perot, he's a nutty neighbor, who wheras he was right in his vision, he was also someone who's vp pick was an example of how he thinks

by MCcain picking palin his numbers went up she helped him,whats this shit that she didnt

Tweeti dont know one person who trusts obama...his next policy he will cram down our throat will be energy, and his policies will put our country into a recession we will not climb out of for years....when he sticks it to coal and big oil, not many of us will be able to support our families any longer...time to take our country back!

I realize [conflict] fits many situations of difference. I didn't realize you needed further implication of my use of 'conflict' for your understanding, being it was proceeded by "war" and used in the same sentence with regard to our efforts in the middle east which clearly defined my use of "conflict".

You have a unique take on "maverick". You have a "Top Gun"/Tom Cruise type of take on the term. Hollywood gave it hell didn't they.lol..."the patterns full!"lol...ohh...anyway. If you get a minute to look up the term Maverick in the political sense. There's actually a definition for it politically. You might find it refreshing compared to where we've been over the last decade.

This is what I gathered from your past posts. And a very strong (no-need for war) vibe. You have tried, as you said, to help me understand. I'm glad you took my OP seriously, because it is a serious inquiry.
Thank you for taking the time.

I'd love to Fuzo but as I said last week, I am done debating with Trip. No disrespect to him, it is just a complete waste of my time. I can't get the guy, he now has an avatar that says "Obama Sucks" but yet seems to support the President every time he's challenged to a debate. You all have fun and I'll just read the posts.
