He said nothing he proposes tonight would not raise the deficit One Dime! Ha!

That's what the liar said about healthcare.

Obama: “The health care bill will not increase the deficit by one dime”

Nice pic.

Someone needs to photoshop that with a bullet hole in the window behind him.

Caption Rubio: “Missed me”

“Wolf, if you want another shot you’ll need to manually reload”

Would you please put me on your ping list, nutmeg, if I’m not already on it? Many thanks!

I will add you to my ping list, proud American in Canada, however I don't do that much pinging these days. Unfortunately there's been a problem with Free Republic's software (?) for a long time now... every time I ping my long list of FReepers, my pings post as a double, triple or even quadruple post when I hit the Post button only once. It happens to other FReeper FRiends here who also run ping lists as well.

It's extremely annoying... I don't know how to fix it.

It's a shame... I've had that ping list since 2000, and because of this annoying problem, I rarely use it now.

Nutmeg - someone started a thread about the ping list runners making multiple posts and this has worked for me, and my combined lists are over 360 people! No more doubles and triples.

Do your thing, hit “post”, count to 10 or 15, hit the back button, and refresh the thread.

Voila - one ping. Do it a few times and you’ll quickly get the hang of it.

WOW! The average approval of Obama's speech was -62% But when he called for tougher Gun Control laws it SPIKED to -78% (That's NEGATIVE 78% as in NO WAY!)

I voted in that BING Pulse thing live vote during the SOTU speech (on our iPad)... it was fun.

Although I'm a female Republican, I said I was an "Independent or Other" female.

I just kept hitting "Very Negative" every 5 seconds, throughout the entire speech. LOL

Interesting... thank you, I'll try it! It's kind of a shame we have to go through all that rigamarole when it used to be so easy for years and years here.

But I'll try it... thanks for the tip. :-)

Hispanic immigrants are a big part of our voting bloc and would, given their druthers, go with the conservative project since the whole reason they came here was to escape countries that were either Marxist dictatorships or were dysfunctional oligarchies, where nobody ever had a chance at independent wealth creation.

Hispanics voted 71%-27% for Obama. Among 18-29 voters Hispanics voted 74%-23%.

With out of wedlock birth rates of 50% and the highest school dropout rates of any group, Hispanics are a natural Dem constituency.

I actually watch some of the actual SOTU address... watching the stream online with the Frank Lutz dial-o-matic poll group stuff... So many times the line for the Democrats was off the chart gushing over everything... but the alleged Republican aligned voters barely ever went below 45% approval... Everyone is a braindead zombie anymore.

Re the five o’clock shadow ... I think one of Rubio’s big image problems is the fact that he looks twelve. Maybe 22 on a good day. I think the slight stubble was on purpose. It made him look at least 30! LOL! (Seriously, it did age his face. I think his slight stubble was very carefully cultivated for the occasion.)

Rubio is terrific...well spoken, spot-on in his message. We must garner the vote of the spanish speaking...and that means we talk to them in the language they speak...they will be required to be able to speak english b/4 they can apply for citizenship.

You are so right. The spanish speaking person is by culture and religion family oriented, (have you ever seen a Hispanic family on a shopping trip to a store...there's mom and dad, and grandma and the kids.) They believe in God, are ambitious and believe in education and want to achieve what you and I desire as well: to be free to earn a education and employment in order to support their family. This does not speak for every spanish speaking person, OF COURSE. But here in Chicago they, and I am referring to legal citizens of Hispanic origin, are educated, own businesses, their own homes and are contributing members of their communities.

I know that obozo will not agree to any part of the immigration reform that Marco Rubio and the Republicans/Conservatives are proposing, and Marco Rubio said he will not sign on to anything that obozo proposes that does not state that the border fencing will be completely finished before any bill will be signed. Bottom line, obozo has to go b/4 we can discuss this bill further. There will be no progress until obozo is removed from office. And, yes, livius, you are so right in that the Hispanic is bypassing the black man in terms of ambition and desire to work hard to achieve the American dream. It is the Hispanic who owns the many businesses that are thriving, his kids are going to school...you do have Hispanic crime and gangs, BUT,on the whole, the Hispanic family, the Hispanic business community outnumbers, outperforms the black family in all areas of achievement.

Geez, if she ever lost her arms in a accident of some kind, which would be the important issue: that she no longer has arms OR that she can't wear sleeveless clothes to show off her arms?? The left have different value systems than We the People do...the mooch would be missin’ those sleeveless outfits, don’tcha know!

Lying IS what the socialists/communists/marxists do. And yes, it is ironic that on the day that the obozo is to give his SOTU speech, a renegade black man/supporter of oboma goes down in flames...can the same fate, politically speaking, be in the cards for obozo??? I'll bet it has crossed someone’s mind, and that someone just shrugged it off....I'll bet.

Word for word, now if we can get he and Joe to tell us about these MANUFACTURED crisis’.

Man, that's a whole new level of arrogance.

Thank you so much for the ping to that! I had to be out last night, so Praise God! - I was spared from his entire oration. I'm just reading through this thread right now.
