Latest Palin Scandal--She Trusts God!

[guido911]

Well, we can't have that nut job as VP:

Just once I want to hear a politician or an athlete say "God liked the other team better this week."

If you thank God when you win, it's his fault when you lose... right?  Two way street.

Bush: "It is clear God has chosen a new direction for this nation by providing a clear victory, a mandate from the people for others to lead.  He is tired of this country heading down it's old path.  He wants change.  I guess God is an Obama supporter."

Osama Bin Laden: "I live in a squalid hole in the desert.  My #2 has been killed over and over.  I dare not show my face.   My supporters died in droves.  We accomplished nothing by increasing suffering in the world.  God has, apparently, frowned upon me."

Terrel Owens:  "First of all, I'd like to blame God.  Well, he just wasn't there today.  Not sure why.  Must be an Eagles fan but I couldn't catch those balls."

Two way street people.

Amen. So after reading what Sarah Palin says in the above linked article it is safe to say that if Obama is elected, he is not only the preferred candidate of the electoral vote, but also God's candidate of choice. I will assume Sarah will be getting down on her knees begging for God's forgiveness that she said bad things about God's preferred candidate?

Thanks for clearing that up for us Sarah.

God, please let OSU win this weekend.

How is Guido behaving any differently than the recently booted AOX or FB? New spam everyday with hardly anything but rightwing links that amount to RNC drivel.

Guido. Your guy is losing for doing the same thing on a national level. I know Okies eat it up but the rest of the country doesn't respond well to this stuff. Today, Godless. Yesterday, Socialist. Three days ago, friend to terrorists. And thats just what they say out loud and in public. Disgusting behavior.

1) He hasn't been banned before

2) He seldom swears at other posters

3) Aside from his recent political junk, he contributes to the forum.

The bear and AOX/FOTD and the bear had many warnings.  In some way I hate to see them go, but that horse has died and been beaten already.

I will first of all defend Guido, he rarely initiates personal attacks and is for the most part a polite poster. He has little in common in the way he posts with Bear on the right or FOTD on the left. There is zero reason to ban or censure him that I have seen. Except for very recently when I disagreed with him he has usually made quite credible arguments.

That said, Guido, man, you have walked a bit (ok, more than a bit) too far into the rightwing blogosphere and have been posting some whacked out stuff lately. A number of your posts lately have been Bear worthy in content if not in tone. Think about some of this stuff you've been posting, ok? There's no way you buy all of that is there?

Waterboy:

How is what I post any different than what many of the lefties on this forum post? In the last couple of days, we have pmcalk posting about Palin's "Real America" comment, why al qaeda prefers McCain, and Palin not knowing what the VP's job duties are. We had RM posting about attending an Obama rally. A few days back, it was "blonde highlights-gate" with Palin's hair. Today, Swake (no offense) is posting about "Saks Fifth Avenue-Gate" with Palin.

I assume you will be demanding that they be banned as well.

To another point, how is what you want done to me, silenced, any different than what your guy is doing on the national level? We have self-described, government-employed "truth squads" in Missouri to protect Obama and today some dem senator is talking up the Fairness Doctrine:

Don't like message, get the muzzle out.

I guess that overlooks guido's "FU, you POS" response to a well-turned argument a couple of weeks ago.

Well, that's not true, but whatever.

The overwrought, disaffected white guy character is hard to pull off.  It's not just poor sportsmanship and umbrage with any view that is not your own.  You have to Travis Bickle angry all the time...exhausting.  It's also technically challenging: what with the  anachronistic fear and uncensored scorn for everything unfamiliar, which is well... practically everything.  It's hard to stay fresh.

Maybe I don't read the politics forum enough then. I probably don't read 1/4 of the topic over here.

[guido911]

If it is okay with waterboy, I am going to post what purports to be a "new" video of McCain being questioned as a POW.

This thread is about Palin and God. Leave guido out of it.

I agree with cannon fodder.

I just want to hear one time, "Jesus made me fumble. He hates our team."

Jesus has only 2 more days to kill and/or severely maim Colt McCoy.  Answer my prayers dammit!

Otherwise, Jesus hates OSU.

I don't want anyone banned. I didn't think FB and FOTD needed to be banned, merely censured or admonished strongly. But I see little difference in the behaviors of all three except that little G is not as good or voluminous in posting as the other two were.

There now is no balance to the ridiculous headline grabbing efforts that G and some of the other uglies use to prop each other up in the face of reality. Some political threads are entirely populated with Big G (Gas), little G, Conan, et al. That, my friends, is a circle jerk.[] It is the equivalent of the monotheistic threads that FOTD sometimes started and continued with no response from others.

I used to get some good political insights here. They came from the passion of different views. Now it seems like a collection of "independents" and "libertarians" and partisan conservatives that simply share their hatred of politicians in general and liberals specifically. There are a few well reasoned, well documented balancing views proffered but usually they are drowned out with noise from the regular crew. Boring. Maybe that is a microcosm of Tulsa. Or maybe its just that this site works better as a forum for city development issues. Whatever.

My feeling is that if you're not constantly learning from others or influencing others you're just wasting time and space. No offense but neither is happening in the politics area here. I monitor the politics threads now, but I get my politics fix elsewhere now.
