There's a lot going on right now in politics, with the stimulus bill and cabinet appointments, and there are some people on Mylot I expect to see starting discussions, but they aren't. Do you (like I) wonder where they are and why they aren't speaking out one way or the other?

Maybe they are still trying to read the Stimulus Bill and are lost somewhere between pages 350 and 423. Senators and Congressmen are voting for or against this based on what a few people talk about. It seem that every day we hear of something new and shocking. Maybe they are all trying to find something new. I have posted a few discussion on Politics, News, Debating and USA Check them out.

Well I do not post as much as I used too. I jump on for a few minuates. see what peole are talking about..add my 2 cents worth. I post a topic ever once in a while but not like I used too. Too busy now a days. I have decided instead of just complaining about what our elected officials are doing, I am actually going to get active in doing something about it. So that takes up a lot of my free time now. But I will still be around as much as I can.

I guess getting involved is better than just complaining about things. I'm glad, though, that you will still be around.

I'm not sure whom you may be talking about but since I've been very busy with other things lately and haven't posted here as much as usual I may have missed some discussions but I've seen many threads started by the "usual suspects" when I have been here. I've posted to some but not all mainly because the stimulus bill is still a work in progress so I don't get too upset about something when it's not even finished. In all honesty, even if I were here 24/7 I wouldn't have time to respond to every anti-Obama post and even if I tried I would be repeating myself over and over since many of them say the same thing.

I wouldn't expect you to post to every anti-Obama discussion. I understand about being busy and not able to get to Mylot as often as you might.

Perhaps they are waiting to see what the stimulus package does to the economy before voicing their opinion. There is not much to say until we see what the bill actually contains. Most of what we heard was rumor and speculation. They might have been hit hard by the economy and can't write on MyLot.

I don't think the stimulus is going to do anything overnight. Even though I don't always agree with all of these people, I do enjoy debating with them, and I'd hate to lose their input until something happened with the economy.
