I confess that this thought had already crossed my mind: "By the end of that grueling campaign season, a lot of us had got the idea that Dukakis actually wanted to lose—or was at the very least scared of winning. Why do I sometimes get the same idea about Obama? To put it a touch more precisely, what I suspect in his case is that he had no idea of winning this time around." - Sean McBride

I am amazed that the candidates on both sides aren't worn out by the demands that are placed on them in presidential campaigns.

there is a reason why few men have chosen to stay away from this thread. but as a dancer for many years i can tell you that just because a guy cheats it doesn't mean he loves you any less. sex CAN be just SEX! just something they feel the need to do. or it can be a very amorous thing... but some men.. good men...cannot have sex unless they are in love and completely trust a women... either way both forms are truly great. - Caroline

Men should be pretty evolved these days, and NOT act out every single urge. Last I checked, they're walking upright--knuckles off the floor.

Caroline: I am not looking at it from a female's point of view. I firmly believe it's up to the females to reach out, so the connection is never lost, since females -- like you said, are the talkers. - Mona N.

btw... @·[•_•]· -- that's the coolest FF username evar! i must follow just because of that - .LAG

Is thinking about cheating cheating? Is thinking about being with someone else while intimate with a partner cheating? How about just choosing to spend free time with someone else? And why is it wrong? Is it wrong because it's lying? Is it wrong because it may be dangerous? It isn't black and white. Everyone will answer these questions differently and most people probably don't know their partner's answers. - d[▪_▪]b ♫

i remember this guy said a long time ago...it had been so long it is just a void...a void. grand canyon........ your right tho. some women give up. or after the talk. it's just. over?.. but some women have low sex drives too?! right? i dunno i have a pretty hyper one so dunno why...but during the talk then what? hi i ignored you then what? plan? plan for what time? we work too much how to make time etc.. - Caroline

This thread is starting to annoy me. Suddenly, men don't do the talking -- i guess we're back at slamming the females on the back of their heads and drag them away to our caves. - Mladen Srdić

@mladen shh were getting there. - Caroline

my take: men are beautifully simple. women are beautifully complex. men are the immovable object. women are the irresistable force. ladies, if you can't figure out the guy you're with, then don't be with him. and, once you figure him out, either accept who he is, warts and all, or leave him. it really could be THAT simple. some guys can communicate. some guys can't. some guys will cheat. some guys won't. i have to put the burden on the so-called better half: ladies, figure it out or get out. - .LAG

and mango, too. - Mladen Srdić

@Anna Haro... Thanks for making coffee squirt out my nose hahahaahah - J. Abdul-Qahhar

poor guys... - Caroline

mona they want you back sweety.night. - Caroline

We need Kyle to /end thread. - Mladen Srdić

This is exactly the reason why people should choose their partners, wisely. To make sure, the bond is never severed. Otherwise, why get married? And it's not poor guys, Caroline. It's a two way street :). @Nicerobot: Thinking and acting are two very different things, in my opinion. Besides, if you think of cheating, then something is very wrong. But that could be me. As ADD as I may seem, when it comes to personal relationships and feelings, I have a very one track mind ;). - Mona N.

polygamy is not cheating. but anyway, this whole issue is going to take our species a bit more emotional evolution to properly deal with... we're still schizophrenic about it (our social rules do not match our biological rules). but if you want a sneak peek: realize that eternal monogamy is a fantasy and get over it. - Anthony Citrano

This is why being muslim is the way forward as they are encouraged to marry only one wife but if he gets permission he can marry an additional wife up to a total of four. Correct me if I am wrong! - Joe Dawson

@mona no no i meant poor guys they want the thread to end and more legos and bacon. - Caroline

Partners don't need to be chosen wisely. They just need to be given time to learn about each other, thoroughly, no less than a year. This is just too complicated to discuss in this small box. :( My point was just that some people will think that thinking, in that sense, is cheating. This is really easy though, live your life the way you'd like your partner, and everyone else for that matter, to live theirs without imposing your beliefs on them and hope your partner does the same. - d[▪_▪]b ♫

Anthony: Just because it's legal, it doesn't make it any different. A polygamist is just legally cheating. :) @Joe: HAHAHHAHAHAH! - Mona N.

Nicerobot: Yes, I agree. Though the fact remains, however which way one tries to sugar coat it. Cheating = cheating, J. :) - Mona N.

OMG...is this thing still going? - Anna Haro

OMG... YES, wtf! - Mona N.

People sugar coat cheating? My massive sweet tooth and I must try. :P - d[▪_▪]b ♫

Mona I guess we define cheating differently. If everyone's open and honest with one another, I don't get how it's "cheating." - Anthony Citrano

If you took a vow to be true to that one person, and that one person only, wouldn't you be defying rules? (Given that your'e open and honest) @Nicerobot: =O!! - Mona N.

YES I totally agree with you. If you commit to be monogamous with one person, and you break that while you are still in that commitment, it sure *is* cheating. But polygamous relationships are not monogamous 1:1 commitments. They are commitments between multiple people. No one's cheating so long as they remain within that bond (however many parts it has.) - Anthony Citrano

So, men cheat because it's genetic, and women cheat because....they want to? - Slippy Lane

the hilarious thing is how we all sway with the latest information...looking back at old feeds and tweets from after Obama's speech you'd think the Republicans should just throw in the towel.

That is why the debates will be so important for those that have not made up their mind yet... then it is up to who has the best political machine and in 2000 and 2004, it was the Republicans. - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

@Julio, I was watching ABC TV here in the SF Bay Area and the news commentator clearly said that the speech was written for her, with some input. You are very correct about the debates, this is where we will see who has intimate knowledge of key issues and who can think on their feet. So far we have only seen how well each candidate can deliver a prepared speech. Clearly all four candidates are very well spoken. - Jeff P. Henderson

@Julio, I think what I really meant in my earlier post was that it is unclear to me that the speech that Sarah delivered were her own words or the words of the party and their speech writers. I can't say I really know what she stands for and if she can think on her feet until I see her put on the spot in an unscripted environment. - Jeff P. Henderson

Jeff P: Have you heard a single resolution from Obama? Any mention on how he is going to 'change' America? We already know he hasn't actually done anything in his career, except fall in with machine politics. Hmm.. I wonder if we didn't hear the same speech, too. I watched it live and uncut on the RNC website. You didn't watch it on MSNBC or CNN, did you!? - Kody Brown

Hmmm...a well-spoken president? That's something I can't wait to get back to. This coming from a conservative Rep. who proudly voted for Dubya twice. I don't think he's dumb or anything, but c'mon. - WazNeeni via twhirl

The one that hurts the most is the failed attempt at the "Fool me once..." addage. I cringe every time I hear it. - WazNeeni via twhirl

@Kody, I watched both Obama's and Palin's speeches live, uncut on network TV. In his speech, Obama outlined what his goals were for fixing Taxes, Stimulating the Economy, Growing domestic jobs, Energy Independence, Development of alternative energy sources with specific goals, Global Warming, Education, Heath Care and Insurance, His stance on the middle east, Iraq, Iran, His stance on the Russia/Georgia issue. I probably missed a few issues. - Jeff P. Henderson

Before tonight, all most knew of Palin was that she was once a mayor of a small town, governor of Alaska and had a longtime husband and a couple of kids. The only thing we learned that was new tonight was she hates Obama. This was like a stranger walking into a house and criticizing the furniture. Your first reaction is, "Who the heck are you?" - Chris Reed

sarcastic, petty, unimpressive. Palin makes me love Hillary and I used top hate her. - David Jacobs

WazNeeni - agree that conventions are a waste of time. The Palin speech was the only part of ANY of the conventions (there are more than two political party conventions) that I bothered to watch, or will bother to watch. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

The one unbiased source I saw (Los Angeles TV station KTLA) gave Palin positive marks. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

Were we watching the same speech? Cuz I saw a nutjob hockey mom try to run from her record. - Bill Sodeman

Her speech was right on the money! - Ernie Oporto

Ok enough with the great speech. Let's get down to business. She has not foreign policy experience. She has no real economic experience. This selection for VP is such a joke. SHe has been off this continent 1 time. Stop this madness. - PC Easy via twhirl

<celebrity> Sarah Palin </celebrity>, But McCain & GOP prefer to ignore their failed code. No 12 step program for hypocrites! - Roney Smith

At this point it seems that she was picked in hopes of picking up voters disenfranchised that HRC isn't on the democratic ticket. Aside from their gender Sarah and HRC are no where close to each other. The important thing about her speech last night is the Republicans like her, now let's see if America can like her once all of her dirty laundry is out in the open. - Bryan

One thing is for certain... she can adequately read off a teleprompter. Kudos! - Rob Reed

Rob, except for that "Hockey Moms" joke - she seemed to improvise well too - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Actually,have to give her an A for effort on her teleprompter skills, which have improved immensely from her sports anchor days (see the youtube videos) - Chris Reed
