Politics is one of the worst topics to discuss. It's basically impossible to find anyone who agrees with you EXACTLY. So sooner or later everyone's going to have a different view on SOMETHING. We've been going at it tooth and nail in several threads for a while now. I hope we all realize that we are all passionate about our beliefs but when it's all said and done we're all in the same boat. At least I can be happy that it appears that most people (the ones of voting age and who live in the U.S.) ar actually going to go out and VOTE! At least that gives you the right to bitch and complain (you = everyone).

I hope everyone who has posted in these threads is thick-skinned and is not going to hold anything that gets said in these political threads to carry over into the other threads on this message board. I know about half the people here don't agree with my views, just as half don't agree with yours. I hope we can keep the political arguments in the threads where they belong and chill out in the others. Especially after the elections are over.

It could be a LOOOOOOOng two more months!

Well said. It doesnt bother me. We all know WE ARE RIGHT! (of course we are all wrong), but all we can hope in politics is to get the lesser of two evils in any election.

tell me about it. i'm not even voting age and its all my friends talk about. And live in the Peoples Republic of Madison. so nearly everybody is ultra ultra ultra liberal.

not that there is anything wrong with that. just for somebody in the middle its crazy when you say something than are immediately ridiculed because it doesn't coincide with their (which means their parents) political beliefs.

Has anyone else noticed that with this election more than any other in recent memory it feels like if you dont vote a certain way (against bush, even though he is not running) than you are EVIL? I have never seen anything like this before.

Just remember that whenever you get too near a politician, you need to take a hot shower afterwards.

This is the one problem I have with the US system...it is

so drawn out it gets tedious. One reason I favour the British way, election is called and happens in two months and that's it for a few more years. Even my parents in the UK are getting tired of the coverage back there! On the Friday when Sarah Palin was nominated as VP it was announced on our cross country flight over the PA as if it was urgent news!

The real measure of a person is to be able to listen to another, weight the other's view in the balance, and respect that both are better for the exchange.

It is golf that has brought our diverging views together; and, we'll be the better for it as long as we choose to respect each other and what we bring to the table.

Is that so much to ask?

Today's "attack" on Obama by McCain's camp is one of the reasons why I absolutely hate politicians. Last year, McCain used the same exact line to describe Hillary Clinton's Health Care reform. Was it a personal attack? An attack on women? Of course not. Neither was Obama's.

It's frustrating that people believe in the same thing but can't agree on how to go about it because of committments to special interests groups. In NY, the Governor's engineering group found a way to save $400 million dollars for the new Ground Zero tribute that is being erected. However, the engineers have been soooooooooo slow to respond that if they don't get finished by the end of 2009, there will be no savings. Sorry, rant over.

Personally, I think McCain and Obama have great qualities. I can't stomach either Palin or Biden. I don't know who I'll vote for and probably won't know until I get into the booth.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
