Freeped and bumping

[1bigdictator]

I'm for BIBI... Sharon doesn't translate well here in America. Bibi is articulate and sound on his dealings with Arab hostilities.

[ConservativeMan55]

I'm fairly new here. Could someone explain "Bumping" to me.
Is it kind of like Ditto?

[ConservativeMan55]

I'm for Bibi also. I just bought his book called Fighting Terrorism.
He added a new chapter to it about 911.
Fabulous.

[ConservativeMan55]

Nentanyahu is by far the farthest right out of all the men.
Nentanyahu brought Sharon back into politics.

what i want to know is: what idiots are voting for Netanyahu?

while sharon calls bush the best friend among us presidents that israel has ever had, bibi's saying that he will never allow a settlement with palestinians that includes a state for them and withdrawal of settlers (bush's policy)

so, if bibi wins, the middle east troubles can't be resolved til after his term and some time into the next pm's term, assuming terrorism has then ceased (a principled requirement, supported by the US)

hell, failure to substantially resolve the crisis in the next 2 years will probably make bush a one-termer and you can thank bibi for it

'Bump' keeps the post in the active column; it's complimentary.

[dwills]

umm, i was writing the 'idiots' comment before any of you bibi supporters posted

didn't mean to offend anyone

[1bigdictator]

Bumping is a term for agreement... but it also pushes the post you agree with "back to the top" or "BTTT"-- for emphasis. You can also "ping" someone by putting his or her screen name in the address bar... like a referral.

[ConservativeMan55]

Netanyahu knows how to fight the terrorists.
Sharon does not know how to fight terrorists.
There were very little terrorist attacks against Israel while he was in office.
On the other hand, when Sharon came into power, as nice as a guy as he is, he wasn't fighting the terrorists enough.

[1bigdictator]

Were you disappointed when Bush went against his conservative principles to support things like steel tariffs and farm subsidies... or when he speaks of liberalizing immigration for Mexicans? If you answer yes... then you are the "idiot" for questioning why a conservative who believes Israel has a right to exist would prefer BIBI to anyone else.

[ConservativeMan55]

Thanks for that info.
I always wondered.
What is this pinging you were talking about, and where is the address bar?

[1bigdictator]

When you post a reply to a member... at the top of the page is his screen name... just put a semi-colon and add other members names... they will recieve your post w/ the respective link to the article. It's useful, for instance, where you are engaged in a debate and wish to bring in another member who may have more expertise on the subject... or it's just nice to share interesting articles.

[ConservativeMan55]

Thank you.

[Solamente]

Netanyahu's up to 50%!

[TatieBug]

Just voted...BN still at 50%.

[Nachum]

With all due respect, Bibi went back on a good deal of his "promises" the last time he was in office. That is the reason a great many in the right and religious parties do not trust him now.

I doubt he would do much differently that Sharon should he become PM. I believe that Sharon is leading him in the polls in Israel at this moment anyhow. Bibi talks a good game when he was not in the role of leadership, but was every bit the pragmatist when he was.
