There is one overwhelming characteristic of people who comment on TBP. Confidence. Confident that they are right.
The exchanges can get interesting. One such example is between Admin and Hope@ZeroKelvin, our fiesty female doctor from Houston, Texas. When those two discuss politics at the presidential level, it’s fun to read their comments. Admin’s die-hard support for Ron Paul, Hope stepping up for Mitt Romney. Time to head for the kitchen and microwave a bag of popcorn. It’s SHOWTIME.
My unimpeachable sources inform me that Hope and Admin sat down recently to try and iron things out. Here’s how it went.

Awwww, you guys missed me, sniff sniff, I’m tearing up.
Actually, I am basking in the warm glow of total vindication at the empty suit/chair expose that is becoming the Obama Take Down as well as that lunatic Joe Biden showing us his true Jack Nicholson Joker nature, heh. Gawwd what a couple of assclowns.
(In truth, I am still embroiled in the %^&*(*&%$ EMR roll out, trying to get my winter garden in and Mr. HZK has left for a 2 week elk hunting trip with his (ailng) best friend. Something had to give, guys, the Real World needs tending, just sayin’.)
Time to get my keyboard revved up, like those B2s I love so much. Prepare for incoming.
Look, I am endorsing Romney based on his past record turning around troubled enteprises, his spotless personal life and the LACK of any radicals/communists in his inner circle. Also, I am full on board with a strong American defense and recognizing the threat or radical Islam. If Romney persists in the liberal/progressive crap, I’ll be his fiercest critic.
Perhaps a Romney vote is a vote for slow collapse rather than a fast one, so be it. You can survive a slow collapse far better than a fast one.
However, I personally believe that our country, as well as the world, has probably passed a tipping point – in the financial sphere #1 and in the MENA in #2. It is full-on Armaggeddon and soon. Don’t you feel it? It’s like the deep breath before the plunge.
No one I know, either in their personal or business life, is making any kind of move other than to assume a strong defensive position. No hiring, no expanding, no building, no borrowing, no spending, nada. That is why the US economy is grinding to a halt. Atlas is sure as sheeit shrugging until the elections are over.
We will see but the next 3 weeks will certainly be very interesting ones.
Off to catalogue the contents of my gun safes, heh.

I took my kids out shooting.I had an old single shot shotgun laing around and cut it down to just legal size.And i bought an adapter to shoot 22 long rifles through it,it was a big hit with my kids.
It was fun having my daughter shoot a shotgun shell through it at a plastic bottle,i showed her the bottle and explained about how this is how we greet people who kick in the front door.
Creating life,well incubating chicken eggs again.My last time was for pets,cochin bantams wich are smaller puffy chickens that lay small eggs.Now im doing something odd (imagine that) im buying fertilized eggs from a health food store,yes some people like to eat eggs where a rooster is prowling amungst the hens.And putting those in the incubator.Hey this is more fun than watching a debate where you wonder about the sanity of Joe Biden.The result should be either white leghorns or mabe brown egg layers,sex link chickens wich are good egg layers also.
I recommend having fun while you can.

“I am endorsing Romney based on his past record turning around troubled enterprises”
He broke up more than he turned around. The guy is an LBO specialist.
“the LACK of any radicals/communists in his inner circle”
I’m more worried about Wall Street insiders in his inner circle…but that seems to be the most bipartisan feature of modern politics.
“his spotless personal life”
I actually bothers me that we need our leaders to be so squeaky clean. Give me somebody with a few character flaws. People who come off as plaster saints usually have a lot of kink in their closets.
“Perhaps a Romney vote is a vote for slow collapse rather than a fast one, so be it. You can survive a slow collapse far better than a fast one.”
This I agree with….almost thou persuadest me to be a Republican….
But I’m still voting for Ron Paul.

Romney inherited the best traits from all 6 of his great grandmothers.
No skeletons in that closet.
His spotless record includes being a chickenshit draft dodger by hiking around France while 50,000 of his fellow Americans perished in Vietnam.

Hope@ZeroKelvin
A “strong American defense” is a very large reason as to why the USA is BANKRUPTING itself ! I was in the US NAVY in the early 1980′s and the waste and mis appropriation of resources then was MIND BOGGLING ! I could not begin to fathom how much is wasted today. Just as the Romans did, we are policing the empire and it has emptied the treasury of the nation (along with lots of help from Bennie and the bankers). This NEVER ends well !
Also, There most probably would be no “Islamic” threat to the USA if we would only stop sticking our fucking noses into their affairs.
The USA “installed” the Shah of Iran after a USA backed ‘ coup d’etat ‘ – The USA did this because the former regimen Nationalized the country’s oil industry. We backed Saddam Hussein – A BRUTAL DICTATOR. He was our friend until he would no longer listen to “his masters” ! Then we had to go rid Iraq of “weapons of mass destruction”. What a fucking joke ! Do you have any idea of the number of innocent civilians (men, women, and lots of children) killed in Iraq because of us ? The USA even funded Osama bin Laden in his fight against the Soviets. Then, he turned on us – probably for a good reason.
How can anyone blame the ‘others’ for them hating the USA ? Their hate of us has been bestowed upon them BY US and OUR ACTIONS ! It all started with our treatment of the Native Americans, which we genocided WHOLESALE !

I believe Hope contributes financially to this site and, as such, I do believe Admin is a bit too harsh with her, even though in regards to Iran she is a batshit crazy neocon, but in virtually all other areas she is spot on the money, so I am hoping she doesn’t take Admin’s barbs too personally, and I say that because I love them both, and sometimes I just wonder why we all just can’t fucking get along, but then again, I myself often have my head up my ass, so who am I to talk?
That’s the longest sentence I ever typed here.

If you want an echo chamber then check out the IOTW or the Peoples Cube, two AWD’s favorite neo-con sites, but be forewarned dissing the Rethuglican party is strictly prohibited and first offense will get you banned.

I am endorsing HZK because she is superwoman. As for Romney, I hope he loses by a larger margin than McGovern (who, regardless of his political beliefs is a vastly superior man in every way), if for no other reason than to waste a hundred million bucks of that loathesome creature’s fortune, Sheldon Adelson.
Obama. Forward!
