you are right Draheid, time for a time out. I guess the old adage of never discuss politics and religion is true but I would change it to

Never discuss politics and Gerry..........

Its crazy to dislike somebody because they lean left or right politically. I have tons of family and friends that are democrats and republicans. I wouldnt dislike any of them based on politics.
That said Gerry says he has many gay friends and was trying to get as close to Marcy as he could w/o wearing the same clothes. Thats not typical of a "right winger". Most teachers are leaft leaning also. If you dont like Gerry that is fine but if its because of politics thats crazy. Does that mean you will like roddy if he is a left winger?

Maris Are you trying to infer that Gerry is some sort of religious figure? Sheesh! LOL

You mean Gerry doesn't belong to the Skinhead Society of North America? Bad enough I have to erase the visual of Gerry at a nudist colony.
Last night I listened to the feeds, his conversation with Marcellas. I had to wonder if the guy can't figure out a small amount of houseguests, how does he figure out his students. I think he has a misperception of people which probably generates negative comments about him behind his back in his real life. I hope when he does leave the house, he looks at the tapes and realizes people see him in a whole different way, then he views himself.

Theo, his politics was number 7 on my list and is not the sole reason why I dont like the guy. It just completes the picture. Reasons one through six are sufficient for me to say I want him gone.

Maris i like your posts a lot but if I'm not mistaken that was one of the reasons you gave. Maybe you didnt mean it in that way. Anyway, why are we beating each other up while roddy is still around?

If I said I hated Gerry because he was pudgy and old, the people on this board would have me crucified. I hate a personal attack on a person without any factual data to back it up. It is not fair and I will firmly express my opinion. Limousine liberal bashing doesn't make him a Right-wing Republican.

Theo, it was one reason but a minor one. I only responded when someone asked what his politics were. My two best friends are republicans and September and November are very hot months in my house. gee didnt that sound like "some of my best friends are................"

I am waiting till Gerry is gone to go after Roddy, doesnt look like the Why I dislike Roddy people need any help right now. lol.

He doesn't act like any Right-Wing Republican I have ever known. Bad labeling of Gerry.

Maris too many people put their political partys ahead of important things. same thing with religion. I have learned to judge people on their actions. They same people who sound very greedy turn out to be very charitable. actions speak louder than words. Plus we are all Americans.

I have an idea .. why don't we pair up all the right-wings with the left-wings and let them ALL fly out of these threads ... then we can get back to being FANS!!!!

Pretty please?!!?!

This is my last post on why I dont like Gerry's politics. It is not only because he is republican. he has said, if you dont like how we do things in this country you can leave and also said he hates limousine liberals. I have offered an opinion that based on those two statements I think he is a right winger. I do not "hate" Gerry as this is just a tv show and a game. I dislike him. I listed six reasons before I said I disliked his politics. I can dislike someones politics and also like a person unfortunately, it isnt true in Gerry's case. There are a lot more important reasons why I dont like the guy.

Now I think we should end the political debate or either move it outside the house. because we are getting off on a tangent.

Hold the phone here, Maris. Gerry actually said the words, "If you don't like how we do things in this country, go back to your own country"?!? Oh, my gosh, I'm a middle-of-the-road kind of GOP and that statement brings fear to my heart that my loyalties have been displaced all this time. You may have made a convert out of me, yet.

That's the most specious kind of hatred he's spewed yet, way beyond all his allusions to the shame of being gay and black. This is extremely important news to me.

BTW, I TOTALLY agree with your post except the politics part, but now that's cleared up. Thanks for the good work. May I just add that I hate watching the way he walks on his tippy toes?

Define a "limousine liberal". I don't think you are sure what it is. Draheid. This is a friendly discussion of issues on the subject of Gerry's political beliefs. Not all threads can be sweet and lovely. This is heated but under control. No mailce intended. Thank you for your concern, but there is no fan needed here.

Just to clarify:

1) I don't hate Gerry. I don't hate any of them. To hate someone on a freakin' TV SHOW, who has never done anything to me...that would be asinine.

2) I don't dislike Gerry because of his political beliefs - but knowing that he "admires" the Bushes does make me like him less. Why does mean I need to "grow up"? If he "admired" Adolf Hitler, would I be wrong to judge him on that?

A lot of people who don't care about politics or are apathetic to the current political situation just can't understand why anyone cares. Well, I do care.

I am capable of getting along with Republicans; I realize that this is why it's often not a good idea to get into political discussions in a forum like this.

And yes, potentially, Roddy's political beliefs could make him more likable to me. That wouldn't completely mitigate his unsavory qualities, but it would be a start.

Marcie - I would like to hear in what context he made that remark. It's obvious that it's being reported from someone who is biased and going to hear it they way they want. For instance - if he was referring to having to speak English fluently in order to live here long-term, then I agree. But, if he were referring to... well, I can't think of anything that he could be referring to, so don't convert just yet!

Maybe Maris should paraphrase her favorite houseguest:

"I hate Gerry because he's fat."

What does a man that was in charge of a regime that wanted to kill all Jews and take over the world and turn it into an empire have to do with this discussion?

Maris,
I live smack in the middle of right wing conservative country up here. You don't want to be messing with us Canadians. The last and only time you people declared war on Canada, your commander in chief slept in and lost the war.
