I will say that if Obama is re-elected in 2012, the Mayans might have been correct.
Mitt won the Wash. caucuses handily!Some guy won the event, whatever that is called, in Washington.
I forgot his name.
I am curious, did the guy no one likes win?

(Happy dance....and FYI...expect him to MENTION MS in the following week.)
And what would be that about ?
How he wants to keep those with MS that are uninsurable uninsured by oblishing Obamacare ?
your right and i am wrong
i am a stupid rich girl that doesn't see the big picture
Ya know, AJ, in klein's defense, I am an alcoholic and a drug addict and people are free to speak of these diseases in any way they see fit. Hell, right now I am sure there are those claiming that addiction isn't even a disease. Fact of the matter is, their ignorance is simply that and nothing more. How does what klein say even matter? Health care is a very real topic in this election and while Obamacare may not be for you, there are those out there who stand to gain from it. What happens to those millions of people without insurance that Obamacare will insure? As I understand things, if you like your insurance, you are free to keep it, so what's the problem? You and Anne Romney are well taken care of. Why not the rest of the country? You are free to continue negative reping now.
With all due respect, you and I understand addiction in completely different ways. There is nothing wrong with that. I and millions of others like me know that recovery has nothing to do with willpower or strength. Quite the opposite in fact. But I am not here to convert or condemn. You understand addiction one way, as one looking from the outside, and I as one who lives with it much like a diabetic. You do, however, make my point for me. How you understand addiction has no bearing on how I treat it. Period.In AJ's defense, not that she needs it, she did nothing to cause her disease. While alcohol and drugs are addictive, you took the first drink, pill, or whatever that causes the addiction. You did not have the willpower or the strength to stop doing something , that was killing you, before you became an alcoholic, or drug addict.
Once again, hardly the same. While both are recognized as diseases, you contribute in one, she did not in the other. Period.
No. She did not negative rep me. But she did Klein and I was merely saying that I understand that what I say may prove just as irritating and that should she wish to negative rep me, I would not be offended.Just wondering. Looked at your profile. When did she neg rep you?
I do not agree with a lot of your post, but I read them and do not neg rep them, and would
be surprised if AJ did sir, unless you personally dised her.
I read you post. Some of what you say makes me think. Is that not good?
Bless you. Shalom. texan.
With all due respect (or not, makes no difference to me) my father was an alcoholic. He chose that way of life and to this day, as far as I know or even care, he never regretted his choice or the harm that his way of life caused to me personally. I never became an alcoholic because of what he did to me. I chose a different path. Yes, I do drink but I know when to stop and I have NEVER EVER let that affect my life or work.With all due respect, you and I understand addiction in completely different ways.

As I replied to Tooner, we see things differently. You have an opinion that "There is No comparison" and that is fine for you to have. I believe differently.With all due respect (or not, makes no difference to me) my father was an alcoholic.

AJ never had that choice. She has lived with what was put on her plate by the hand of fate. There is NO comparison.
