My postings have become bitter. I'm convinced that my opinions have failed to change anyone's mind and are therefor a waste of time. Writing to my Congress Critter hasn't resulted in any changes. Corporations, Unions and Elitists own Congress and control the direction this country takes. Goodbye and Good luck.

4. I was just about to type the same thing, lol

[kentuck]

3. Sorry to hear that.

I can understand the feelings. It's hard to stay in the game nowadays.

5. Why would you assume posting on an internet message board

could ever change anybody's mind? Far as I can tell, there are only three reasons for doing it: (1) to blow off steam; (2) to get other people to tell you how correct and brilliant and perceptive you are; or (3) to poke a stick in the hornets' nest to see how many of them you can stir up. But change minds? Not a chance.

11. (4) to share and/or read news stories

6. Since you said you support Ron Paul I guess you would

not enjoy DU. I wish you well. And that you vote Democratic.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. The sad part is he finally admitted it. Just think how many more are still here..

stirring up shit. :hi:

[DevonRex]

15. Yep.

If today is anything to go by, well...

7. Are you sure you aren't just pissed that your post in support of

Ron Paul got deleted in another thread?

9. "The support for politicians needs to be on the basis of improving the country"

So your support for Ron Paul is based on his vision (ending Medicare, Social Security, Civil Rights, etc.) for "improving the country"?

12. Ending SS

would hurt me personally. I'd have to come out of retirement and work somewhere.

On the other hand ending the Empire and external wars would help me. Choose carefully what you support.

[ProSense]

16. Interesting

"Ending SS would hurt me personally. I'd have to come out of retirement and work somewhere. On the other hand ending the Empire and external wars would help me."

So you're willing to trade Social Security for ending the war?

Other than the lunacy of that proposition, do you seriously believe that Ron Paul gives a shit about ending wars?

10. Yeah, UNIONS have so much control...

Come join us in reality, buddy.

[edhopper]

13. I had the same problem

trying to convince the people over on FR to support Howard Dean.

Just think, now you will have so much more time to read Ayn Rand.

[spanone]

17. 'unions own congress'...hmmmm. good luck with that one.

[Zax2me]

19. Why would you want to changes minds here?

Maybe you should post on other boards that aren't limited to democratic-progressives.

[Ohio Joe]

20. I'm shocked...

and amazed... or not.

[Possumpoint]

22. Those of you that don't understand where I'm coming from.

Think carefully about what 44 promised coming during his campaign and what he has fulfilled. I supported this President in the beginning but no more. Goodbye!

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. Tell us what he "promised" that hasn't been fulfilled in a 1/2 term?

You're funny. Didn't you say you were going? :rofl:

[JTFrog]

27. I said GOOD DAY!

23. Most people aren't personally aware of the change they cause.

It's the nature of "the world of letters." Many of those who are most responsible for what I've become I will never meet.

And even among friends change/influence tends to be an implict natural force.

[treestar]

32. Yes.

OP is expecting immediate results in a part of life that never has immediate results.

One has to keep contacting one's congressperson and convincing others to do it.

Obama talked about what we would try to do together. OP just wants Obama to serve it all up. Doesn't work that way.
