Political types...

There has been some serious tense talk here in the past month, many red faces and pissed off words (myself included). There has also been a sense that the leaf binds us, despite our differences. So, I propose we put our money where our mouths are. A cigar exchange along ideological lines...

Email me with your snail mail address, tell me your general ideological bent (liberal or conservative...it doesn't have to be pure, just what camp you tend to be in), and I'll set up a chain where liberals send to conservatives and conservatives send to liberals. Then we can see how well the leaf binds us together. We can also do our own informal poll of who has the best, most generous heart (I am guessing liberals, but prove me wrong!) by posting what is received right here.

Problem is, of course, we need an even number of liberals and conservatives, so we might have to do a first-come, first-served thing for conservatives...there seem to be more of y'all than we liberals.

I am thinking a five cigar max?

Let me know if you're in.

Sounds like fun, I'll bite. I'm an independent with both conservative and liberal views, so you can put me in either camp.

I'm an independant as well. I suspect I have liberal tendancies though. I like to cut people slack. But not regarding UN resolutions. Count me in. 5 is a good number.

I'm neither conservative or liberal. I tend to form my own point of view, and stick to it. I don't have much to offer in the way of sticks, but I'll scrounge up a few.

liberal all the way!!!!!!!!! I`ll bet ya cant top my 5 packer!!!!!!!!!!

e-mail sent!

Come on folks, this'll be fun. Let's get this rollin'.

They are all scared conservatives!!!! LOL

Hardly! I don't like freeloading liberals!

If you want to trade take it over there

Dr, did you read the whole thread? whose freeloading?
Your either in or your out! And I didnt start this thread to begin with!!!! :o)

With this bone head...Have fun!

Doc, Over there? You mean on the Cigars & Related forum or the Trades forum?

Yea at least Freeload on the Right Forum Board John!!!
LMAO!!!!!

The Dr. feels he needs to have no regard for opposing points of view, yet fails to understand how anybody could not have regard for his own. He understands exactly what he wants to understand. He lives in a box of own device. He is quite happy this way though. He thinks liberal is something you step in and must scrape off your shoe. Do not try to reason with him, it is a waste of bandwidth. I'm in. I am liberal in philosophy, yet conservative in practice. Where does that place me? I have a fatal flaw of always having to see both sides, without really being able to make up my mind. I generally side with what seems to champion human kindness.

OOOOOhhhh!!! dems fight`n words Dr!!!!!
I am a little confused though! I get that way sometimes. Some think this is a great idea and had no problem with it being on the Misc. board while Dr is obviously totally opposed to the idea!!! So this is my last post to this thread reply if you may but I wont be reading it. Waiting for JD to repost on Trades.

I can say from experience that the Dr. is a very generous guy and might put all of us to the left of him to shame. Come on, DMV. It won't be the same if there are no conservatives in on this deal.

no one questioned his generosity. just his manners. and it's always offensive to be told to "go drop dead", even if it's paraphrased

jdrabinski

you offered a "let's forget the politics and exchange cigars with someone with a different political viewpoint" as a gesture to bring people together, and you got **** on.

DrMaddVibe not only missed the point, but accused you of being a bone headed, free loading liberal who thinks this should be on the trade board. lost cause.

usahog, following the party line also accused you of freeloading. lost cause.

se hablo mucho, pero no dice nada.

Rick,

I know. Damn. Not the response, or lack thereof, that I expected. I guess I was a little naive? There is still time...we'll see. I remain hopeful.

Alas, even without conservative participation, there still may be a pass of generosity...just between liberals and moderates/independents (those are the only ones who are in thus far). You want in, Rick? Email me [email protected], if you are interested.

We'll give this another couple of days and see what happens.

John

p.s.: I still don't get the 'freeloading' crack. Was the initial post unclear? I promise you this: he who gets my 5pack will not think I am freeloading, that's for sure.

John

(Doc, Over there? You mean on the Cigars & Related forum or the Trades forum?

Yea at least Freeload on the Right Forum Board John!!!
LMAO!!!!! )

Was a PUN Shot!!!!!

along time back... it was Imparative to some here that Posts be posted on there Correct Boards... and it would get under there skin So reflecting back to this past history of this forum I tossed that in as a PUN

its the defensive Nature of many here to take Offense to this and Twist it as many things on here have been Twisted....
I have made Statements to the words of "Simpletons"
"Narrow Mindedness" and "Tunnel Visions" of some folks on this forum... I will not retract those Statements... because I view some in this way... the one's who scream and point fingers and accuse myself as being "one sided" and no other way... are the very same who close themselves off to what they are stating me as being....Wake the Fugg Up folks and take a long look at yourself... I throw out facts to you and aall you can do is pick a few words from those facts and try and veer it off track of what it is... that is infact more Dangerious then the Facts at hand....

I never said Yea or Nea to a trade or swap with anyone here... I look at this tread "the way it was Posted" as a I am better then you type Post... lets see what you got and I'll raise you two... I don't trade like that... I don't care what someone has to be better then them... or try and outdo my neighbor... I personally have a walk-in... stocked with what I will estimate $3000.00 give or take of Premo's and Dog Rockets that I have purchased over the years... I have this because of my "Love for the Leaf" as a Hobby and It is Open to anyone who comes to visit... and Or I have even traded with many here not to see who can out do the other... just for the simple trade and adventure into the Cigar world... and friendship...

I find this thread as I said... a way to see who can do better then the Other... so I am sorry I will not perticipate.... missing out on something? Maybe but OoopSOoooooo... that will be my loss....

I'll regain in a box pass or something later down the road.... who knows maybe Illinois will make the playoffs and match up with U Memphis then no holds Barred... and you can check my records on Illinois Games and my Payoffs to see if my word is good!!!!!
but it's expensive thats for damn sure!!!!!!!!
