I have to agree.

These kinds of debates based on BS occur not just on ATS, but on the conservative internet forums and boards as well.

They drive me nuts on two fronts.

(1) They are often pure BS. Like this thread where Pres. Bush implemented and passed the regulation to phase out the old Asthma inhalers, but the phase out comes to a conclusion in 2011...so the spin is...
Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns

Just BS.

(2) The second reason these threads drive me nuts is beyond their inheritant dishonesty...they are trivial and intentional distractions from issues that DO need debating.

edit on 27-9-2011 by Indigo5 because: (no reason given)

Here is where your true hypocrisy is exposed for all to see.

A simple ATS search using indigo5 and Palin brings back seven pages of hits, which are nothing more than perfect examples of you posting what you claim (above) that "drives you nuts".

Regarding your item (2) - While I create this OP and many others showing what's going wrong with the country under obama's presidency, you are concerning yourself with the details of "Palin's pregnancy" and other total (and real) BS. Which needs debating more, current medical issues facing all Americans, or as you would prefer, a Palin pregnancy? Are your posts not the perfect examples of "trivial and intentional distractions from issues that DO need debating"? I think so. Intellectually honest people will no doubt think so, too.

Let's see you try and defend that position from now on ...

Intellectually honest folks will recognize that I have debated Palin's credentials and capacity to serve in political office...not who she slept with.

Either way, as far as your post above. I will let the Mods sort out that rambling lump of dishonesty and personal attacks.

As for this...

Let's check the pro-obama "logic" for a minute - because obviously none of you ever do.

Bush gets credit for foolishly banning nasal inhalers even though it was implemented on obama's watch.

Bush still gets credit for the Solyndra loan, even though it was turned down under Bush and approved under obama.

The hunt for osama bin laden starts under the Bush administration, but obama gets credit because they happen to finally catch him - using infrastructure and tactics put into place under Bush - while obama is president.

Let's check the anit-obama "logic" for a minute - because obviously none of you ever do.

Your OP gets ripped to shreds by page 2, with honest posters providing links and substance showing that this regulation was passed under the former President Bush.

And then you scramble to engage in personal attacks and distraction.

What does Solyndra or Osama Bin Laden have to do with the Ban on certain old fashioned Asthma inhalers that Pres. Bush implemented?

Quick...Quick..Bait, get personal, change the topic!!!...but whatever you do, don't admit your OP was BS!

for crying outloud

name one government program that has made life better for anyone and hasnt destroyed other people in the process

oh neo your silly thats what all that hope and change was about.

Or name one that hasn't turned into a bloated bureaucracy full of "workers" slowly shuffling back and forth to their appointed "tasks".

I work for a state government and see it every day.

Not going to happen as too many rely on these things to live.

Which political office is she - or her family - currently serving in?

Which political office is she - or her family - planning to serve in?

Guess you're still not getting it.

But, no worries, most of the rest of us do.

So, keep on bashing Palin and her family while most of the rest of deal with current issues involving people who are currently IN office. It actually makes our cause much easier to have you continuously chasing smokescreens and rainbows.

Thanks!

Yes, the very same one that was implemented this year - under the obama administration - when any reasonable president could have seized up on it as an opportunity to make political capital out of it - helping the little guy keep medical costs down - if for no other reason.

Again, by your logic, the operations put in place under the Bush administration got osama bin laden - not obama.

You can try, but you can't have it both ways.
