I saw that, too.. and she thinks we need a socialist system (didn't say socialist but she said do what 36 other countries do and provide healthcare for everyone of our citizens)... uhhh if hospitals didn't lose so much money on carrying for illegal's they wouldn't have to make up the bottom line by charging more to their insured, that is one way government could help -- close our borders!
He wasn't the only one.
Sounds like Fla is doing better than WA state; however, we'll take whatever we can get. They just found about 11,500 dead voters on the registration and over 36,000 that were registered in 2 counties.
My Congressman is Mark Foley and we agree with him on about 88 percent of the issues, and I will always support him for that reason. He has to serve the people of Palm Beach County which is liberal, and Rural Central Florida like my County, and he does a lovely tap dance and keeps getting elected because he cares about all his constituents and he knows that we will get on his butt if he strays too far to the left. we can live with that, and he is one of GWB's biggest supporters.
You get no argument from me.
It didn't seem like many did watch.
He did not break any new ground, but gave reasonable answers to the NSA, Katrina, etc. It was pretty softball.
He did have to praise Bill Clintoon some at the end.
LaEnchilada had a good link to the vids in post 680.
Thank you, I checked it out. Good information.
I understand that quite well. However, the filibuster never had any history in judicial nominations, and the one opportunity to banish it from the Senate was wasted by MCLame for no good reason other than "face" time.
I do not believe he cares about the Republican party at all, if he did, he would never have promoted CFR. It nearly cost us the election as well as being fundamentally un-American.
After attaching his no torture amendment to the defense appropriation bill (by doing so forgetting precedent) in order to embarrass the President, the only faith I have in him is that he will do whatever gets him the most publicity.
This filibuster attempt will give him the chance to play king maker again, and I truly wonder if he will be able to restrain himself. /rant
I missed that. In that case Obama is wrong. If he were to modify his statement to say we send millions (or, more likely, billions) ot the islamic states in the Middle East for their oil, then he might have a point. However, that is one of the prime arguments behind lifting the ban on exploration in ANWR and off of our own coasts, such as the areas off California and Florida.
By "alternative sources of energy" he probably means the fantasies of powering the world with solar cells and windmills, but his friends the Kennedy's object to the windmills (in their back yard) and solar cell production creates horrible toxic run off of things like Galium Arsenide. Not nice. Then his friends like Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are blocking oil exploration off the coast of California, so we're screwed on all fronts. Of course, Jeb Bush is doing his bit to block oil exploration off the coast of Florida, but I don't think that he is doing it out of conviction, just political necessity.
Sad, isn't it? We need to light up 1,000 more nuclear power plants in order to cut down on pollution (and global warming, if such a thing exists), but his party is owned, lock stock and barrel, by the econazi's and he can't say that. He just dances around the edges with stupid and ineffective slogans instead of actually addressing the problem.
Add me to the weekly newswatch list, but I have to tell you I have come to dispise Neal Gabler over the past couple of months, he has become more and more dispicable.
####
I guess we are hopeless addicts and need an intervention. I ask myself every Saturday why I am subjecting myself to this show.
I just did a very quick Google about Neal Gabler, because he is not introduced on Newswatch as being employed by anyone. He has been writing very nasty articles for a long time. One that will make you laugh is all about the jihadism of Karl Rove.
Gabler has serious paranoid delusional problems.

Karl Rove: America's Mullah
By Neal Gabler
The Los Angeles Times
Sunday 24 October 2004
This election is about Rovism, and the outcome threatens to transform the U.S. into an ironfisted theocracy.
Even now, after Sen. John F. Kerry handily won his three debates with President Bush and after most polls show a dead heat, his supporters seem downbeat. Why? They believe that Karl Rove, Bush's top political operative, cannot be beaten. Rove the Impaler will do whatever it takes - anything - to make certain that Bush wins. This isn't just typical Democratic pessimism. It has been the master narrative of the 2004 presidential campaign in the mainstream media. Attacks on Kerry come and go - flip-flopper, Swift boats, Massachusetts liberal - but one constant remains, Rove, and everyone takes it for granted that he knows how to game the system.
Rove, however, is more than a political sharpie with a bulging bag of dirty tricks. His campaign shenanigans - past and future - go to the heart of what this election is about.

precisely... This was a great (you fill in the blank )set up because some of their previous questions have not been too far off this made up scenario.
My wife said she doesn't remember her granny making Yorkshire pud.
She made made some mean kidney dishes which aren't American staples. :):)
~LOL~ Thanks for the read.. why is it these liberal reporters think they are so much smarter than 99% of the population?
Not only do I agree it has no precedent (other than the unpleasantries of the 108th Congress), it is IMO an unacceptable imbalance of paower in favor of the Senate, away from the Office of the President.
But there is opportunity to remedy the threat. As I noted, the GOP Senate leadership has a number of judicial candidates "on deck," even out of Committee, that the Senate DEM leadership has indicated will be filibustered if brought up for debate and vote.
F = 7 subjected to failed cloture motions in 108th Congress
4 = "1 of 4" that DEMs offered to let GOP choose which 3 to dump
S = Positive mention in Specter's May 9, 2005 speech
M = MOU of 14 will not vote against cloture
m = MOU of 14 makes no promise regarding cloture
R = Post-MOU, Reid indicates desire to filibuster
C = Out of committee & on the Senate's Executive Calendar
U = Unanimous consent to debate - date TBD
D = Democrats offer to debate - date TBD
v = Debate and vote scheduled
V = Vote -on the nomination- concluded
x = Nomination returned to the President - President renominated
X = Nomination returned to the President - President capitulated
--S -- C-- Boyle, Terrence W. (4th Cir)
--- -R --- Haynes, William James II (4th Cir)
F4S M- CUV Owen, Priscilla (5th Cir)
F-S -- CUV Griffin, Richard A. (6th Cir)

Except that it was God asking, and you know deimocRats don't believe in God, so therefore, the question wasn't really asked.
Over 1000 posts and NOBODY gave me a smackdown summary of Jua n Williams. Guess he had the day off. I'm t.v. deprived and can't watch the shows.
I absolutely agree !
Unless you live inland in Florida. I lived in Broward County for 31 years and I enjoyed the Ocean to look at but not to smell, it always seemed to smell like dead fish and rotting mangroves. I love freshwater Lakes,rivers and streams better, and there are lakes in Florida like Okeechobee that I cannot see across. Rodguy can probably tell you about the medicinal benefits of Ocean Water,Saltwater, and there is not much that is prettier than the Sun rising/setting on The Ocean with Palm Trees waving in the breeze. The only thing I can think of to rival that is Skyline Drive Virginia in October or Twilight in October over Lake Ontario with a bird on the wing. i am not sure about Colorado, but I know it is Beautiful Country with lots of freshwater Lakes,Rivers.
Especially that gnome Gabler!!!
