Displaying 18,691 To 18,720 Of 19,504 Comments FINALLY.. once again a Nation of LAWS & NOT of “men”. Hmm…wouldn’t doubt that we may see teabaggers outside the courthouse during the trial, protesting it because the attack on 9/11 is being treated as a crime. Wouldn’t that be ironic? Radical religious, fundamentalist, virulently anti-American people who wish harm to America…protesting a trial against Al Qaeda. » Posted By AdLib On November 14, 2009 @ 11:00 am Debate Night Live – Vote and Discuss! Nice of you to say! It was very engaging! Hope to see you for the next one! » Posted By AdLib On November 14, 2009 @ 2:17 pm ? » Posted By AdLib On November 14, 2009 @ 1:58 pm Night Nellie, thanks for being here for our Debate debut! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:46 pm PatsyT, don’t have numbers but my rough guess is that it could pay for single payer insurance for All Americans with plenty left over. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:38 pm What?! Surely you jest! I really appreciated your letting me know, I rushed over to the posts and put up a link for everyone to join us. Thanks!!! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:25 pm Exactly. Wedge issues are all that the GOP has had pretty much since Nixon. I will say this, people have underestimated and thought the worst about the Dems and Health Care reform but in the end, they’ve overcome what others said they couldn’t. I think they will moderate the amendment to simply leave things the way they are and throw a bone to the Blue Dogs to say, “See, we won’t use this money specifically for abortions?” even though women will be free to have plans that provide abortions. Let’s see. I do remember when the public option was declared dead too. Let’s not underestimate the gamesmanship of the Dems and Obama. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:22 pm The original concept behind not taxing the church was separation of church and state. Now that “church” is no longer separated from involvement in “state” by their own volition, why should they get tax exempt status when they’re not keeping their end of the deal? Think how many poor people and children could be helped by social services and education spending if the churches paid taxes. Jesus would approve. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:18 pm Coming out, he was a man too. 😉 As was said, the debate turned to focus solely on the Stupak Amendment. That was not the focus of the question for the debate (though that’s fine), the question was did the Dems compromise too much. So, I would agree, if the Stupak Amendment was the debate issue, a woman’s POV would have been ideal to have since only women are directly affected by it. FWIW, I don’t think there is any way that it will be in the bill that Obama signs. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:14 pm That could have been a glitch, I will test it out with a long bit of copy to see if it repeats. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:05 pm What Pelosi agreed to is only that she would allow him to put his amendment up for a vote. She did that, there was no commitment to keep it in the bill, especially in conference. The Dems have a handicap, Blue Dog douches who would rather see thousands of Americans die every year than not be re-elected. They need to either join the GOP and stay in the minority or start believing in evolution and evolve into 21st century human beings. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:04 pm I will look into that, I wasn’t aware that there was any limit. Did the text box just stop allowing you to enter characters? » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:01 pm Goodnight Nicole, thanks for joining us tonight! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 9:00 pm Thanks! As mentioned above, I’m on it! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:50 pm Sorry about that, I had meant to throttle back the speed of posting after the debate, finally did towards the end of the open chat. I will see if I can enlarge the font, don’t know right now. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:50 pm I think you’re being too harsh on KarateKid. Going in, he knew he had the minority opinion and didn’t hesitate to accept the role. That was exceptionally cool of him. Also, in the after-debate chat, there were members who appreciated KK’s stand on principle. So, though most here were predisposed to favor KQuark’s side, I think KarateKid deserves big props as well. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:48 pm Your brother is very welcome! It’s just not as desirable to go after the debaters than go after their arguments. Maybe Lance could debate next week? » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:42 pm So…thoughts and suggestions about the Debate Night Live function? What did you like, what didn’t you like, what would you like to see next time? » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:38 pm That’s odd. I’m on Firefox and do all my Adminy things here via it. I do have to clear my cache from time to time, something funky with this 3.x version. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:36 pm Seconded, cheers to KarateKid and KQuark for launching Debate Night! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:34 pm You could hear me from there? Yep. server again, guess you and KK were burning up the server! Actually, we need the dedicated server to handle all the powerful opinions here, it’s overwhelming the current one. Should be on the new one shortly. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:32 pm So, back to the conversation, if the Stupak Amendment really has no chance of continuing in the bill or being signed by Pres. Obama, doesn’t all of this just give aid and comfort to the GOP? » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:31 pm Sorry all, server issue again. Was hoping we’d be changing to the dedicated server this weekend but looks like it won’t happen that soon, hopefully before next Friday! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:31 pm That’s a bit harsh. Feel free to attack the arguments or positions but no call for dissing fellow members. » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:14 pm Howdy all! Man, I need a beer now! » Posted By AdLib On November 13, 2009 @ 8:13 pm Hey all, the debate is going on now!
