Adjournment
Yes, and many of the "ordinary worker" voters have figured out that a vote for GW is more likely to keep the take home pay higher than if Kerry is elected. These trad dems may not be telling pollsters or neighbors who they are going to vote for, but they will go Bush in November.
Now here comes John Dingelberry
IF Rep. John Dingell married Marion Barry, he'd be called John Dingell-Barry.
I can't take him. Going over to TBS to watch a couple of episodes of Seinfeld. Later.
Dingell sounded very positive about a kerry/edwards win. (snicker.)
This whole health care crap...I could've sworn this is what Slick & Hitlery promised America some 12 years ago.
Children are not getting a good education because Democrats and liberals don't want them educated. There is nothing better for Democrats than a dumb America!
The rhetoric of not leaving one child behind must sell well. In actuality, the Democrats have left most of them behind.
And they make fun of W. for not being able to pronounce 'nuclear'. Sheesh.
Hey, we all can't be smart. Some are lucky...some are not
Not true, we All can be smart , it's just the evil republicans scheming behind the curtain trying to keep
Democrat children oppressed and stupid enough to keep voting
democrat. Well, that doesn't really make any sense but no
doubt there would be democrats who would believe it.
"If there's an EXACUATION"??????????
What's up with that?
Agreed. Notice how there including pre-school. Like 12 years isn't enough. Honestly, the reason their kids are not getting a good education...is cauze there mommas are crack whores who live their whole life on welfare with "free" health care...you know the healthcare the working stiffs don't have. Generation after generation crybabies. Can't think for themselves never mind anything else.
In case Michael Moore enters the building.....be sure to know where the emergency exits are located.
Most likley they HAVE to announce that.
I must have missed it last night.
Beats me.
Didnt see anything in the schedule.
Maybe their buddies, the ayrabs, are going to make a move.
Mort is talking about Kerry's polls being down and says there haven't been many changes since a month go when the last poll was taken and thinks the nummbers are wrong
WRONG!!!
Can you say JOHN EDWARDS!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
CORRECTION
Mort is talking about Kerry's polls being down
Should Be
Mort is talking about Kerry's polls being down ON HEALTHCARE
Mary Beth Cahill told Brit that no photographers were allowed when Kerry visited the space center. NASA first showed their photos of him to Kerry, who APPROVED them before they were posted on the NASA website. Evidently, other news agencies took the photos from that website, and NOW Kerry is bellyaching! LOL
Yeah...I know it's their anthem. But anyone can sing the thing, and not butcher it as badly as PP&M did just now.
It says a lot about the Democrats that after a year long attempt to bring back the socialist '60's by beating the anarchist anti-war protest drum, President Bush actually has a slight lead over Kerry with first time voters, while the DNC is forced to dust off brain-fried senior citizens to totter around stage, singing songs of lost "glory" at a convention that has all the vitality of a funeral march.
It's more about these tired old hippes trying to recapture their lost youth than it is about voters. They're tired, they're outdated, they're pridictable and boring...and they don't even know it
