I agree. I mean, I know that it's an election year, and I realize that this campaign had become dirtier than ever, and I know that this may be the most important election in our history due to the 2 completely different approaches to dealin with the Islamic terrorists bent on our complete destruction...

But can't we just talk about something else?

How is the US looking in the 100 meter synchronized butterfly stroke relay?

Just in case you haven't noticed, it's about two months untill a presidential election that is being held during wartime. The two main choices are 180 degrees from each other in their ideas on how to fight this war. The incumbent is running on a successful record with a few flaws and the challenger is running on a very questionable war record from 30+ years ago.

Maybe you should find a non political site to surf instead of trying to change this one?

I heard there is a secret plan to extend it.  




I heard the same thing!





But if we talk about it that would be political!

I butterflied some pork chops Friday. I was gonna butterfly a leg of lamb Saturday, but it looked like a real pain so I roasted it whole. I deglazed the pan with merlot and made a truly noteworthy gravy. I am an American.

Without politics, religion, science, and guns, we are reduced to sex, sports and weather.  I really don't want to discuss sex, and here in Tucson AZ, the weather is hot and sunny (again) and in sports, the Cardinals suck (again).

I prefer politics, religion, science, and guns.

OMG!! You heard about it too!?!?  I was wearing my tinfiol hat and actually picked up the secret government transmissions and heard "them" talking about it.

People need to lighten up, but yes I'm getting tired about the political talk everywhere.  Although to add, most people I talk to at least 4 out of 5 are not liking Bush but are voting for him over Scary Kerry.

I agree but with everything going on right now with the AWB and the Dems tring to take control of our country it's all what everyone is talking about here. sorry

I hate politics with a passion. But the simple fact is, we are in a serious fight right now. We have all sorts of issues and the world is a troubled place. And we have a very anti-gun fella who has a chance at becoming president.

With that said, I can't not talk about it. Besides, if we ever get a gun grabbing gang of these liberals in power (both executive and legislative control), then we might not have any guns to talk about then.

So I would rather take up some space with political threads here now than to have lots of open space later when we no longer have any gun related subjects to discuss.

Yeah, A little. Of course, everyone here is voting for Bush, and if they are not, they should be.
But the Kerry pics are pretty funny.

Politics get boring when browsing a forum that's 99% Republican.

But seriously, political threads distract us from debating the real meat and potatoes...like whether or not the 223 cartridge is suitable for deer.

If I'm not in the Mood to read a Political Thread I Pass it by, and keep waiting in anticipation for  Lumpy's Photo Thread...

My Advice, don't read the Political Threads if they bug you, and the problem will cease.

It is inevitable that Politics will be a hot topic on this board.

don't own any Hesse lowers so I'll leave that to you.



for the rest of the folks who couldn't interpret the humorous nature in which this thread was started:  yes i am voting for bush, yes i think kerry is an asshat, no i don't really need to see more than 6 %$!@ing threads about its running on the first page of GD.

I'm sick of the threads that are posted about people being sick of other threads.  It is quite simple.  If the thread is about politics or the expiration of the ban, or the legacy of Lincoln or anything else that you don't want to hear about, DON'T OPEN THE THREAD.  You are not mandated to read and/or reply to every one.  

This is a General Discussion forum which means that people can generally discuss whatever they wish

I think most of the political pundits on this board need to get out of the house & go shooting.  Or get laid.  Or do something.  ANYTHING.

It does get a little tedious.  Nobody here is going to change their mind, and even those of use that despise Bush are most likely going to vote for him anyway, simply because he's the (marginally) lesser of two evils, and it really is a two candidate race.

At the end of the day none of the bullshit on here really matters.  Mostly what you wind up with is people that are extremely frustraed with politics that come to a board where they think everyone is going to think like them.  They are often disturbed to find that potheads, homosexuals, atheists, anarchists, immigrants, racists, and all manner of other social miscreants also own guns.

I think we should have a pissing and moaning contest-similar to TexRedNeck's post about NASCAR-only about football.

Best, worst, college, pro. I think we'll get a lot of similar comments.

I'll start.

I don't care much at all for pro football. WAY overpaid bunch of ME ME ME thugs that frankly, embarass me as an American.

College football is WAY better than pro. Not a bunch of fucking jerks dancing, prancing and shooting their fool mouths off.

Besides, the Rams and Chiefs BOTH contributed to anti CCW efforts in Missouri.

And I've been watching a lot of rugby lately and they play JUST AS ROUGH with NO PADDING except for cloth &  foam helmets and they play CONTINUOUSLY, without stopping every 30 seconds. And they play a longer game (80 minutes).

Grab a stopwatch sometime and time the in motion, in play amount in a pro game. In a 60 minute game they ACTUALLY PLAY about 18-20 minutes. The rest of the time is basically standing or walking around.

Flame away.

As a matter of FACT the incumbent has NO WAR Record. IIRC his father was the director of the CIA at the time GW was in. Wouldn't that make GW inelligible to go into a combat zone because of the threat against national security should he be captured? Just a thought.
