CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,BUT ISN'T "FOX" A REPUBLICAN NETWORK ANYWAY?...SO THIS KIND OF "STUFF" IS TO BE EXPECTED...THIS TUESDAY WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A NEW PRIME MINISTER,BUT I'LL TELL YA',OUR POLITICS MAY BE BORING TO MOST OUTSIDE OBSERVERS,BUT I'M SOOOOOOOO GLAD WE DON'T GET THE CRAP AND THEATRICS OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH GET...IT'S 2008 AND WE STILL HAVE ABSOLUTE MORONS WHO WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR SOMEONE DUE TO THE COLOUR OF HIS/HER SKIN! ...USUALLY THE WORST WE GET UP HERE IS THE CANDIDATES INSINUATING  OR CALLING EACH OTHER LIARS...WHAT A RELIEF.

Mark your calendars. This will probably stir the pot….
 
 
HELLO EVERYONE:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
SEAN HANNITY, OF HANNITY & COLMES ~ FOX NEWS,
IS GOING TO AIR A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BARACK OBAMA,
SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9:00 PM.
HE STATED ON THE AIR THIS EVENING THAT NO ONE IN THE NEWS MEDIA WAS WILLING TO DO THIS.
HANNITY IS GOING BACK TO OBAMA'S EARLIER DAYS, SHOWING EVEN THEN HIS TIES TO RADICAL PROFESSORS, FRIENDS, SPIRITUAL ADVISERS, Etc.,
HE STATED THIS EVENING THAT HE WILL SHOW IN DETAIL HIS TIES TO REV. WRIGHT FOR 20+ YRS (which we all know) HOW HE WAS PARTICIPATING WITH THIS MAN, AND NOT FOR THE REASONS HE STATES!
HE HAS UNCOVERED MORE OF OBAMA'S RADICAL LEADERS AND WE WILL SEE THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS WILLING TO PUT OUT THERE.
THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT YOU WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN EVER BEFORE.
HANNITY IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND ASKED THAT EVERYONE PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH~~
SUNDAY NIGHT, 9 PM.
HANNITY IS DETERMINED THIS INFORMATION BE PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE AS AMERICAN'S,
WE STILL DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OBAMA!!
WAKE UP AMERICA !!
THIS IS SERIOUS,
EVERYONE. I KNOW MOST OF YOU WATCH FOX NEWS, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR,
BUT IF YOU CAN,
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
THIS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR COUNTRY.
MY PRAYER IS THAT WE, ALONG WITH SEAN HANNITY, WILL REACH SOMEONE/ANYONE BEFORE NOV. 4th.

My dear, I am truly sorry for what you had to endure. Anyone that looks through my posts of years gone by will clearly see that I had always stood up and supported Darryn, even when he was at war with another dear friend of mine, JD. I even took the time to go into private e-mail with BOTH of them in an attempt to get two old friends to make amends. IT WAS FUTILE.

The Darryn Hellofs I knew was a mature, caring, successful businessman and loving husband and friend. He was intelligent and, though he and I did NOT see eye to eye on many things, I called him friend. I cannot tell you how much it hurts to think that he has fallen so far and become such a person. He was a VERY important person here on JP.com  back in the early years, and even helped me when I first came here and made a fool of myself by saying some very inappropriate things. He was a good man.

Unforunatley.. I have only a few things to say on this matter..   Darryn, is not the same person to all.. And he likes to screw around out here to get a rise out of people.. He  has assumed at least 6 different identities that I know of.. He pretends to be someone else and talks about him self...    To see what other people have to say about him.. 

The bottom line is people change.. Around the time I was having my problems with MR winnipeg warrior.. someone came out here under a presummed identiy of myself, and apparently said some things to other members on the board, which in turn the they  thought it was coming from me.. Hence one of the reasons I did not go to Vegas.. I feel its very immature of people to do this to other people Hence the reason I dont come out here that much any more.. If I wanted to deal with 2 year olds I would have one............ As far as Iam concerned he has lost all respect with many members .. to bad he cant be banned from here..  What was once a nice person has turned into a menace. 
I see things in a different light, I could have been friends with Darryn , I thought we could have meet up b-4 the show.
But do to his Immature nature and the way he turned like someone with a split personality.. I will never let my guard down again.. 

Hugs to all those who have stood by mee.. I really appreciate youre friendship..

Thanks MG..

B.S. is clearly an understatement! IF it really is Darryn, it is absolutely ridiculous for a middle aged man of his stature to act in such a childish manner. I say IF because I do not know with certainty that it is Darryn who is doing this. My experiences with him have been dignified and honorable. I just cannot imagine what would possess a grown man to act this way...
[Head banger] Thursday, October 09, 2008 4:24:31 PM 
well, some time ago, "someone" took a few pokes at JD, and then sugested that they would get his name in lights at the home page, lo and behold the name was changed from WW to JD....
strange bullshit.]

By the by, my mind is not what it once was but I believe this Thread was originally created by Darryn (Winnepeg Warrior), was it not? Why has he begun using a name similar to JD's??? Have I missed something during my absence????

WOW BS!! You appear to be very well-read on the subject of your country's government! That is refreshing. I wish I knew half as much about mine!! Well done, my friend. As we here in the US endure yet another election season, I can only tell you that I grow more and more weary of it all. The word "change" seems to be the favorite this year and yet, I see so very little of it from either candidate. It is little wonder why there are more and more cynics!  Anyway, great to see you again BS. I have missed you.

Unfortunately...even for a democratic society...there's not a whole hell of a lot we can do about it...imho, it's all about who can raise more campaign funds...unless you're 1 of the big 2, there's no competing!!

We are hopeful that William reverses this trend and brings some civility and decorum to the political process. One can only hope that Charles is bypassed as we all suspect he will be.

Hmmm...  wondering if that's where the phrase "royally screwed" comes from...

The Monarchy is the Head of State. The PM is the Head of Government. The House of Lords, which acts and works with the Monarchy, is an advisory council.....and has superior power over the Head. We have a multi-party system that has two major parties. The Conservatives and the Labour Party. But at the end of the day.....it's still Lizzy that calls all the shots!

Hi Bloodsucker,

You pose a good point, for sure.  That's gotta suck having only two evils to pick from...

Here in Canada, we have the Green Party, PC's, Liberals, NDP, Bloc Quebecois... AND the Marijuana Party (although, for some strange reason they weren't invited to the national debate -- although, maybe they were but were too busy contemplating just going!    ... lol.)

Even with "all" the eligible choices, there's still nobody good to vote for! 

What kind of set-up you folks got over there in the UK?  How many parties run in your elections?

The biggest challenge with the political system in the USA is the fact that you only have two major parties. Democratic and Republican. It only gives you one option when you're fed up and sick and tired of one or the other. So it's not essentially that you're voting for one party at election time. It's more of the scenario where you're voting against the other party. Which makes no sense. Because it's a yo-yo cycle every four or eight years. Republican, Democrat, Republic, Democrat. Back and forth. Over and over. And the people of your country 'settle' for this?

Hey Soy,
No, I don't think we have talked directly yet, so ...  "Hi! from the prairies..."

While I am grateful we don't have to deal with what seems like years for an election to take place like, um ... it does in a country to the south that shall go unnamed ... I would like a bit more time to make a choice!  A few weeks for such an important decision just doesn't seem like enough time.

Not to mention that, with a bit more time, we could actually start some of that relevant soap-opera stuff & gossip going on!  Might even make it interesting for a change...

So you are actually *going* to the debate?  Now that's dedication.  You're probably the most informed loonie in the country!    (Is it on t.v....?  Just curious which of my favourite programs are being pre-empted -- lol!)

Okay Soy ... just 'coz you said so -- the 14th is marked on the calendar to go blindfolded and pick a name.  Haven't a clue what to do in this one!

Don't like any of them.  Alberta gets sewn up no matter what we do to try and change things!  I just want to get rid of Alberta's premier 'Stinkypatch'...  There's no-one like King Ralph, lol!
