There is talk that one group was attacking yesterday, it is usually the other way round on many threads ,they can be checked if anyone cares to scroll down, I have been battling it out with all the Democrats sometimes alone, ,am I allowed to say that as some dont like the term liberal and reported that fact yesterday that I was using it, I will abide by that and use the term Democrat from now on if that is okay..
Darn, things keep getting good when I'm gone for the day. I have one more week of out-of-town visitors before I will NOT miss so much - like the LAST time a thread was deleted.
MH *NEVER* got involved back when there was heat when Bush was in office....so is it just because people can't take it with Obama? IDK...just speculating on the difference as I'm seeing it. Maybe when it was about Bush, no one was hitting the "panic" (aka, report) button. But, some Obama person IS hitting it...?
If no one hit the "report" button, then where did this come from?
Don't hold back, Baron, just let it all out there...........lol
Personally I can't stand the woman. i see her as representing everything that is wrong with this country. She strikes me as intuitive but stupid.
That said, she's facing a number of investigations and potential criminal charges that could very well go away due to an under the table cut deal as part of the resignation package.
She just finished her 18th inquiry into corruption charges. Eventually, something is going to stick.
But there's also the issue of her book deal. As Governor the exact workings of that deal would have to be vetted. Resigning gets her out of having to worry about any close scrutiny on it.
Finally, she's a member of a church that believes the husband is the overall head of the family, and there is some question that her husband is behind her resigning. I don't really put to much credence behind this one though.
However, considering he's a major separatist (Alaska should secede from the United states), her husband's obvious influence is probably a worrisome issue.
Otherwise... resigning as Governor to run for President is a fairly stupid move. Considering the excuses she gave, the Democrats will have a field day with her should she decide to run.
I agree that this is a health community, but I also have to say that the political issues facing us these days definitely affect health issues. As people lose jobs, health insurance, etc, it can't help but bring on stress, depression, and various other health related problems. There are as many different ways to look at an issue as there are people posting.
I'd hate to see MH stop allowing the political debates, because this is a fun place to come; but I was attacked in one of the deleted threads and I can guarantee it's no fun and totally uncalled for just because we don't agree.
Like PlateletGal said earlier - sometimes, I just have to jump in and toss my opinion out there.. Nothing personal to anyone.
Hoping everyone is having/has had a great 4th of July...
