Practice makes perfect.....post on....
I’m very glad to hear that!
what with all of the hullabaloo going on at your house last week, i’m sure you didn’t see that SheMP smith from Fox, who loves car chases, had one on Friday afternoon that they were covering live and it ended up with the perp commiting suicide on camera when he was caught at the end. i was listening in the car via XM so i didn’t see it but heard Shemp apologizing over an over about it. This AM on the FM rock station i listen to on the way in, they were talking about it. the DJ, elliot in the AM, loves shemp apparently and car chases. i don’t think Elliot is a conservative, but i do like that he watches Fox. I have been appalled at DC 101’s political commercials for Obama though, they are paid by Obama obv, and just soooooo biased!
I’ve been harping on the fact of how inaccurate today’s polls are for months now. 9% is not representative of anything. It would behoove the media to be honest and mention that, for a change.
A+++ don’t think we can discount them altogether, and we should operate as if we are 6% behind and work our tails off, but yes, i think they are way biased and inaccurate.
You would have to resign, the Jets would be trying to hire you!
Keep your hands in your pockets.
Yes. the Jets should hire him.
My opponent in fantasy football had the 49ers defense. I got slaughtered.
Yes. Kasich is a good guy and a good governor. Surprisingly even his approval numbers are way up in the latest over sampled Democrat polls ;)
I don’t think he’s been on Morning Joe or if he has, not often.
Scarborogh wasn’t too bad until they found the dead girl in his office and he resigned from Congress.
so the dead girl situation has somehow made him a leftwing buffoon?
Oh, he will unload defense contracts. Why on earth would Lockheed play along? Boggles the mind.
The fact that Kasich is doing a good job is part of whats hurting Romney in Ohio.
Well, and here’s some inside baseball for you, the Romney staff are all loyal to the GOP state Chairman that Kasich and his people deposed this spring.
So we got that going too....
Sure. They got the goods on him. There is no statute of limitations on murder.
Actually Joe used to be amusing, attacking big spending repubs from the right...
But that doesn’t explain Florida and everywhere else.
What’s really hurting Romney is actually rather simple: negative campaign commercials. Obama is using them relentlessly and they all have the same theme: Romney means less candy and O means more candy.
I read this AM, that Obumbum was successful with Lockheed. No layoffs until after the election! Are people so dumb that they don’t see that for what it is?
Hopefully BarryO will be running out of bullets at the time Romney starts to use his.
There was a 3rd member of that gang that used to hang together in Congress and after hours, and that was Gary Condit. Although Condit was guilty of having an affair with an intern, there doesn’t seem to be any connection with her death — just happenstance. Was she on her way across Rock Springs Park on a lonely jogging trail to meet him when she was waylaid by a stranger and murdered? We’ll never know, but it sure looks suspicious. In the mean time Scarborough and Kasich didn’t let any dust cling to their shoes high tailing it out of DC.
Scarborough had that inconvenient death in his office. Condit was defeated in his own Primary. Kasich married a woman who gave birth to twins shortlly thereafter (premature?) and then became a talk show host on Fox for a short time before he went to work for Lehman Brothers.
3 Congressional buddies whose political careers were cut short — except for Kasich who resurrected his as Governor in 2010.
I, on the other hand, think that once an impression gels, it gels, and leaving the opponent to define you might just be irreversible.
The only thing missing is Kasich’s brief (and hilarious) presidential run in the 2000 primary.
