Ron,
The problem I had was with somebody adding extra text to Iacoccas original and passing it off as Iacoccas (the paragraphs in purple I posted in my last post). I agree with what Iacocca says - I rarely vote for incumbents, and I despise pretty much all of them. And I suppose I do place some level of blame on the people who keep voting these people of both parties in (though we only seem to have one party represented in any kind of strength on this forum).

JT,
There is a difference between saying you are stupid and saying you look stupid. Jamo made use of that difference a couple of months ago when he said that someone was acting like a jackass rather than actually calling them a jackass (or whatever his term was).

Steve,

It seems that in an election year almost anything anyone who is well known says has stuff added to it by unknown writers. When that first came out I looked it up and it shows up every election and will most likely still show up after Iacocca is dead.
Me, I just vote against the incumbents in Congress every election as I would like to see some new people get in. I guess at least Kennedy will be replaced this election. I don't like the fact he is sick and dying, but I don't like him and never have.

Semantics, and a bad interpretation of it despite.

"look" - is a statement of fact not a suggestion of behavior.

Saying 'you look stupid,' has a far different meaning than 'you are acting stupidly.' They are not interchangeable.

It's all a manner of subjective opinion anyway. Welcome to my realm of the Ignore List.

Let's review, Huge buggerin' wanker - do you have any idea how stupid you look for backing Obama? Now, whenever I see a Cobra I wonder if it's the huge buggerin' wanker in it, assuming you have a Cobra. A backer of Obama just doesn't fit into the Cobra owner crowd, in my opinion - although there are one or two posting here, including you.

I do wonder - what is the purpose of either supporting Obama or not supporting McCain - I realize that you are on the fence post on this issue, but voting time is near - are you actually stating that you will vote for Obama?

Regardless of what you do at the end of the voting day, you will always be a HUG buggerin' wanker here. The vote has been taken.

Boy, in another forum that remark would be jumped on as being racist by some of the membership!

Good thing shovels can't talk!
