I don't understand British politicians and who stands for what anymore, so I have no chance understanding who stands for what in the US elections, so I don't read 'em or post in 'em.

Live and let live.:)

Of the 6 who voted for "Can't wait til November" I know you aren't republicans, cause you are getting your collective asses kicked.

Stupid comment! I can assure you that the Patriots NEVER take ANY opponent lightly! You can certainly make the argument that the media took the Giants too lightly and really didn't give them a chance, but that has NOTHING to do with the Patriots organization! The Patriots didn't lose to the Giants because they were "too cocky". They lost because the Giants simply played better on that particular Sunday. The best team doesn't always win in the NFL! That's football! I defy you to find one single comment by ANYONE in the Patriots organization who predicted they would win that game! For all the hatred people have toward the Patriots, I can tell you that guys on that team don't run their mouths, EVER! It's simply not how things are done.

As far as the politics are concerned...the Republicans have ZERO shot of winning this upcoming election! It simply will not happen, under ANY circumstances (unless people are a lot more racist than I think they are)! As I've said before, you could dig Reagan up from the grave, and that office still isn't going to a Republican!

That is how I answered, and you are right - not a Republican. 8)

They won't wait that long. They'll be doing that on November 5th.
Heh heh... "gopnuts" that's what they can be called now. :shock: :lol:

Could care less. Don't read 'em and I said when I first joined that I won't get into a debate about it. That or religion.

He does allow it. In fact, he created a whole forum for it. It isn't this one.

Whatever happens, just don't talk Andrew into not allowing political talk here. I mean, look at how many rockers and Hollywood types involve themselves in it today. It's relevant and needs discussed. Not all politics, take over the board discussed, but discussed none the less. A few threads here and there seem fine if everyone stays civil.

Yes!
Get them the FCK out of here and stop taking advantage of this (sometimes) great forum's popularity to mount your soapbox.

Andrew has a WHOLE politics board.

1 or 2 is good but anymore, 1/2 this damn board is hogged by politics threads.

There are SO many people who are members here who can dissect and discuss Journey (Perry, too) all the doo-da-day and off-topic posts dominate anymore.

Friends I've made here can EASILY go 30-45 minutes on the horn passionately and knowledgeably debating the band. Now I see great Journey fans and posters like NoMoTa and NIG vanish from here for long stretches in plumes of He Said/She Said smoke that the Uninitiated-to-the-cult posters are supposed to give a shit about.
