- How dare this anti-Government, Party of No member, get Cadillac healthcare? He has taken care of his body as though he is a Public Housing, Section 8, member of the Poor. Just because his is a fat, Reichwing Republicon, does not mean that he deserves better healthcare than other Americans.

Brandon, another vote of appreciation and approval of your comments on the Vine- I'm still laughing about the 'Sisyphus' comments in a much earlier thread, well done!

Sorry that it has taken me so long to thank you for asking me to be your friend. First of all, thank you very much. I haven't been on the Vine that long and I am just realizing just how little I know about it. I do love everything you post. Thanks again. And I am learning more day by day. I feel honored.

I dont have a problem with the average republican many hard working contributing members of our great society .. I have a problem with the leadership of the republican party.. when the right allows an extreme faction.. to mislead there supporters .. with lies and mis information then the leadership is dishonest... if you are honest you dont allow half truths- misinformation and lies to define your position on issues... the best most recent example was Mike Huckabee pandering to the white supremists by claiming Obama grew up in Kenya...a total lie...that no one in the republican party leadership called him on.. the republican leadership need all the extreme groups votes so they allow anything to be said ... how can anyone trust them .. to work for the rights and freedoms our servicemen thru the years have died to protect

Thank you, for the friend request.

Right on Brandon!

I am amazed at some of the comments. Democrats and Republicans who don't concern themselves with the spirit and intent of the constitution now take issue with what may have been a slight error. Is it better that a congressman takes his oath within the view of the speaker and then wipes his ass with the constitution in the form of legislation acting in contravention to the constitution and therefore the rights of the people?!

Brandon you have a way of being on point. Your assessments are rationale. I cannot believe so few people did not see through the response to September 11, 2001. Glad you are my friend here on the Vine.

Hey. Thanks for the FR.

Thanks for the FR, Brandon. I love your Schopenhauer quote. One I like that's similar is: "A book is a mirror: If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out" -Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Thanks for your acceptance. Did you know during hunting season in Pennsylvania that there are at least 1 million hunters in the woods? You might want to be attentive when driving through here.

Peace.

Hello, Brandon. I have received your request and added you to my friends list. Thanks for your interest. Be seeing you around the vine.

Hi Brandon,

I looked at my personal page, I think that is what it is called, and seen I have some friends of which knew not. I am very happy to be your "friend" for I agree with your reasoning, I agree with what you have posted and the style of the post. I like the Voltaire quote and then Schopenhauer how cool is that? I have read nearly everything of Nietzsche so we may be on the same page so to speak. Life is so short I try and make every moment count which ironically means I will have a shorter life. "Because life's a mask and it don't last, live it long and live it fast" which is the way I try to live. Also, with some sense of honor and humanity.

Take care, and thanks for being a friend........Persevere

Also Brandon.....my comments were being collapsed by the opposition for no apparent reason. I am currently unable to sign on again in order to comment, by the way.
