I appreciate the fact that everyone is practicing their right to free speech here. How about we leave the politics out of the forums and just be thankful that we are getting some of the biggest tax breaks in recent history. Yeah, gas prices suck, inflation is on the rise and worker's pay is not meeting the demand of the current economy. But hey, we could all be native Iraqis or born in communist China. Then you could quite simply be executed for talking about your dictator (instead of elected president) in a negative way. My thoughts...go ahead and vote for Obama, save this thread, then come back to it in four years and see what you think about his administration.

I think you're right, Chris. You should leave the politics out of the forums.

Oh, I SO cannot comment on this. It's really better not to go there these days with politics. Let's stick with what's to be done with the checks!

I find it comical that you call for no politics in this thread, but you interject your political opinion by stating, "...we are getting some of the biggest tax breaks in recent history.", then continue to state your political opinions! Give us a break.

Dentoid · 05-11-2008, 12:09 PM

BTW, where is Becky, I'd like to see her weigh-in on this thread.

Chris3859 · 05-11-2008, 12:11 PM

That was the whole point Scott! Like any good politician...You always find ways to interject your point.

I believe thats passive aggressive behavior Scott

I knew this thread had the potential to end up tip toeing through a mine field but I was hoping we could stay out of the mine field.

The topic is not what you think about the politics of the stimulus checks.

The question is

So what are you planning on doing with your economic stimulus $$$.
I hope you get to spend at least some of it on your reef!

Steve, I love it that you hate my posts!

Jeff, it was bound to happen. There is nothing wrong with a healthy discussion of the political atmosphere in our great Nation. For so many years people have shut there eyes to politics out of apathy, indignation and stupidity. Look where it has gotten us!

goldenmean · 05-11-2008, 12:33 PM

I totally agree. I would love to have this discussion with you all.
RS is just not the place for it.
