"I am against Robert Tilton."
I am for Robert Tilton.

I am against leaving the sound unmuted while Maria Tilton sings in the nude.
I am for Robert Tilton losing every dime he's ever "earned."
Barring that, my parents were faithful Christians who found his "prosperity gospel" deeply offensive. I am for them tapping God on the shoulder and saying, "Yeah, that asshole down in Miami. Think you can hit him blindfolded, Lord?"
I am against a city bus missing Robert Tilton as he crosses the street. Bus drivers should have better aim.
I am for Bass Ale.

I am for soldiers.
I am for soldiers.
I am for soldiers.
I am against politicians, regardless of party, who use them [soldiers] as pawns to get elected.

I'm against folks who drive like they've prematurely received their AARP cards.
I'm against poorly timed traffic lights.
I'm for a woman's right to choose, even if I may personally disagree. It's her body after all, and the matter is between her and her husband/partner. Who am I to tell her what to do with it?
I'm for increasing the size of our military. Trust me, it's stretched as it is.
I'm also for increasing the size and competence of our State Department.
I'm against higher taxes. I'm for the fair tax.
Most importantly, I'm for my friend Erin.
Al
The retired Army Guy

We handed our lives over to professional's and see what it has done to all of us.

I'm against mindless technological preogress.
I'm against a mindless lack of technological progress.
I for somebody somewhere who's a lot smarter than me figuring out how to get the working class to vote liberal. Yes, I've watched ALL IN THE FAMILY, but they can't be all like Archie Bunker.

Now wait just a minute petite buxom blogger. Ironing is one of my few sources of pride as a single male. Almost equivalent to Helen Reddies "I am Woman." "I Am Iron(ing) Man." (sorry Ozzie)

I am for forethought.
I am against four-flushers.
I am indifferent on the subject of foreskins.
I am for forty-something broads.
I am against fourteen year olds masquerading as 19 year olds selling cosmetics.
I am indifferent in the matter of the four-colour map theorem, although I see it might have some bearing on the application of makeup.
I am for four speed manual transmissions. Five and six speeds are ok too. I'm actually more for them, but they don't work very well for my FOR FOUR list.
I am against four speed automatic transmissions.
I am indifferent on the subject of tiptronic transmissions. Seems like a manual transmission without the hard part.
I am for conservatives.
I am for liberals.
I am against diatribes that are personal attacks on people or positions.
I am for civility.
I am for humor and parady.
I am for smart, cute bloggers.
Hell, I for smart, cute women. Period.
I am for the female belly buttton (I've noticed that, outside of the beach, the bare midriff look seems to be finally going out of style. 'tis a pity)
I am against conformity.
I am against reverse conformity (you hipsters out there, or whatever you're calling yourself these days as I am not hip enough to know the current term, I'm talking to you)
I for understanding why people feel the need to conform (It's not like I want to put a gun up to people's heads and force them to be hippies. I'm just against undue peer pressure, that's all)
I'm against legacy comic strips (unless they're put together by a commitee, like Garfield)
I'm against comic strips put together by a commitee (like Garfield)
I am for Bobby Kennedy not getting assassinated in 1968 and going on the win the presidency.
I am against bowel movements (why can't your bodily waste just turn into an invisible, orderless gas that floats out of your skin pores?)
Wal-Mart? I'm certainly not against people on fixed incomes shopping there. What do you want them to do, rob a bank? If you're going to be against Wal-Mart, you better also be against unrestricted free trade with countries that have much lower standards of living than ours. That's what's driving the economy of the whole planet down.
Dead-on, Kirk Jusko! Tip of the hat to you. What AILS us is the unrestricted free trade. Eventually, we will live like they do. We'll have no choice left.
I am for this week's nice weather staying here all year long.
I am for getting rid of every politician we have in the US and starting over.
I am against believing that either of these things will happen.
I am for enthusuastic reponses to my comments, such as the one I just received from LimesNow.
I am for a first choice/second choice on ballots from the President on down, with a runoff if nobody gets a majority (that way you can let your hair down and vote for a Ralph Nader or (i'm being impartial here) Pat Buchanin, and also vote for a major party candidate, and not worry about throwing your vote away)
I am against aliens from another galaxy coming to Earth and sucking the blood from our faces as we sleep (just wanted to see if you were paying attention.)
I am for nobody noticing that I just put a parenthesis inside of a parenthesis.
I am for Mr. Jusko checking to see if his humble hostess is indeed quietly doting over her readers' musings.
I am against Mr. Jusko's incorrect application of nested parentheses and would thereby direct him to the use of [square] brackets if indeed, a nested parenthetical thought is necessary.
I am for Mr. Jusko being against blood/face sucking aliens.
I am for using 'fer' instead of 'for.'
I am fer using 'agin' instead of 'against.'
I am agin all sorts of stuff that Erin is fer.
I am fer all sorts of stuff that Erin is agin.
I am fer folks that can disagree and still carry on a civil conversation.
I am fer peace and I'm willing to kick someone's ass to get it.
I am agin the idea of a literary canon.
I am fer circus performers being shot out of a cannon.
I am fer puns.
I am furry.
I noticed, Kirk. It's just that I'm against being harsh when there's nothing to be gained from it.
I am for reacting enthusiastically when someone says something in a way that strikes a chord within.
Damn, I’m always late to the party.
I’m for being on time.
I’m against being late.
I’m for music.
I’m even for bad music, if that’s all that’s available.
I’m for good beer.
I am against bad beer (except at the ballpark)
I am for sleeping in on Sundays.
I am for doggie kisses.
I am against Ticketmaster’s ridiculous service fees.

I am for having a good time
I am against having a good time at others’ expense
I am for making change to make things better.
I am against change for change sake.
I am for doing unto others as I would have done to me
I am for helping.
I am emphatically for helping the helpless
I am against helping those who are unwilling to try to help themselves.
I am for truth
I am against lies.
I am for love.
I am against hate.
Did I mention that I am for music?
And the ladies, can’t forget that I’m all for the ladies.
(Clearly, I am also against brevity, sorry)
I am for marital aids.
To anyone who may still be paying attention, yes I originally posted this about two years ago. I just dig it so much that I wanted to run it again for new readers.
I left the original comments intact, and I edited the content oh-so-slightly in order to update the political references to more current players.
I left out a note about this being a rerun. I wasn't trying to be dishonest, but putting some big explanation on this would have messed up the magic for the new readers.
Most importantly, I am really FOR all of you commenters.
LimesNow, if you mean you noticed the parenthesis within a parenthesis, I noticed it myself. Unfortunately, I only noticed it after I clicked on "publish your comment". That's what I get for not profreading it first (incidentally, thanks.)
Erin, as one of the newer readers, I was wondering who all those people were, and why your picture looked different.
Kirk, I was saying I noticed, but why would I be critical? You post good, cogent comments, you MOSTLY don't make typos, etc. ;} My point was that I'm against hammering people for a mistake that just doesn't matter this one time. I'd have let it slide!
Erin, if you have time, check mine out tomorrow. I liked this so much, I wanted to steal it from you with only a couple of days in between! I did something a little different and not nearly as good, but you sure lit a fire under me.
I'm against all the good things already being spoken for! But I got here late. I'm for getting here! What a great piece! I'm for a great piece! I'm for coming late to the party and finding it such a good place to be.

DR. Phil is a jerk. Why did Oprah have to unleash him on us?
I am for EOB and probably against most of the against stuff. I like the format.
I am for self-checkout
I love self checkout too but worry about whether this cost people their jobs.
I have a friend that PURPOSEFULLY leaves her cart in the WRONG areas of the lot, thinking she is creating jobs! HONESTLY!
Well, hope we make the world a little better!
Rox
