Why do I want to put myself out for more hits. But really, Jeannine, you can turn words to your own interpretation better than anyone I know.

When I posted my original comment about dandling a baby, it was simply meant as a light-hearted jab at Obama's slipping ratings, but was immediately taken as something much more sinister. We Obamabot-liberals CAN actually make a joke at his expense every once in a while.

Then I'm called 'snarky', a hypocrit, and disingenuous. Quite honestly, I would LOVE to discuss differences honestly. In fact, I've made that very request several times here. When I ask for the conservatives on this board to discuss their views, I am torn apart for 'saying' that all conservatives think one way. It just doesn't work. People here can't possibly conceive that someone who disagrees with them on issues is making a comment in anything but a nasty way. And I have NEVER called you racist or stupid.

I did not imply, or mean to imply, that Ms Palin had her child to further her political career. As I said, he is a beautiful child and I have GREAT respect for any woman who carries a child with a disability to full term. But having said this, I'll bet dollars to donuts that there is a publicist who is telling her to be photographed with him as often as possible. It's the nature of politics these days. And EVERY politician does it in some fashion.

My group of friends is indeed polite, respectful, and reasonable. And they are also both conservative and liberal. And we have some very lively (to put it mildly) discussions. But all I meant by that comment was that we can hear the tone and inflection others are using to know whether what we are saying is serious or a joke. And we have yet to resort to calling each other names.

Now, take any of the above how you will - but none of it was typed with a heavy stroke or angry thoughts in my head.

And now I honestly and sincerely do wish everyone here a very Happy Holiday Season.
