So true

[samantha]

#588, she was a "Fag Hag" and did not know it. Now she is just a Hag. Bada Boom.......Bada Bing.....

[rodguy911]

Exactly, they know what will fly where,slickos,sickos.

[rodguy911]

Bascially the texts of my radio reports.

As far as Laura Ingraham goes, shes needs a pass IMHO, at least for a while.
In the past year she has visited the troops in Iraq, really supported them in a big way, had a tremendous bout with cancer which is enough to make anyone crazy, imagine if you are a woman and losing your hair,getting cancer and loosing a fiance all in a matter of a few weeks, it has to unnerve you just a little I would guess.

I'll give her a pass for a while, time to get her life a little bit more back in balance.

The problem for Laura and so many others of the talking heads is that they are commentators and they have to have a position to comment on.  They are forced, by the requirements of their situation, to take a position from the get go.  All too often the right thing to do is say "we don't know enough yet... wait and see." 

Rush has gotten this one and so many others right.  He's managed his audiences expectations to where it's OK for him to say "I haven't decided yet" and "all we know is what the DBM is shouting at us."  He then takes a few days and formulates a reasoned and arguable position. 

Laura hasn't mastered that yet and she gets stampeded by her audience and the "media bubble," where the only "facts" she has are the ones being spoon fed by the DBM.  And your litany of the things she has had to deal with in this last year, along with a long list of times when I have truly enjoyed her take and heartily agreed with her, leads me to give her some slack, as well.  Particularly since she "got it right" (meaning she agreed with me) during her appearance today.

From what I know thus far of Foley, Studds was far worse as was Alexandar from IL, but,of course, since they're Dims, just like Clinton, the Dims say that happened a long time ago, we shouldn't bring it up now. Interesting, they said just the opposite w the DUI and Bush's NG records.

[Seattle Conservative]

I was Mad, now I'm realllly angry. Thanks, Miss Marple, I hadn't seen this (jerks!)

[Morgan in Denver]

See?!?! Reason to listen.

I admitted I misunderstood. I will accept my beating when you guys get to Denver the next time. I refuse to travel for it.

[Seattle Conservative]

Thanks for correcting my typo - typing too quickly and not always double checking - my bad

[Laverne]

FNS repeat is on now on FNC. Kingston is GREAT, if you did't see it earlier, catch it on the rerun now.

[eeevil conservative]

just out of curiosity- where am I being "hysterical"

there is certainly "hysteria" out there over this issue...mostly on the Libs side... we have been pretty level headed about this ordeal..dealing with the facts, and digging into the truth and details....

My point is that I want better leadership and better representation of ethical and moral issues that the Republicans have campaigned on....

they are all so dropping the ball....I am really disappointed in them "joining in the DC games"... LOL!

I am having a blast with the shows... you can go to my site and listen to both of them..at your convenience...

The HUB show is a lot of fun- I think you will like it- and MATT on that show ROCKS! He is the BEST!

thanks so much!!

;-)

[eeevil conservative]

BINGO

thanks-

[MOgirl]

Hello,

OK, the main reason that I can think of for him to have run all over town to out his former boss is that he left because he is a jilted lover (or lover wanna-be). There is a blackmail component to this story, but I don't see Fordham's actions to be consistent with being the blackmailer...unless I am missing ALOT here (which is totally possible....LOL!)

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[samantha]

#589, it is not unusual to have New Media creeps sneak into big get togethers and walk around eavesdropping on Private Conversations to get scoops. When I was in Broward, this happened all the time with one Guy that was short and skinny and hid behind People to eavesdrop. After a while we would have people watch for him and give a red alert,and then when we knew he was listening, we would make up stuff,especially Lurid stuff about Dems. Most of the made up Lurid stuff about dems was not lurid enough for the Rats because the Reality/Truth was way beyond Lurid for them.

[RobFromGa]

I'm sorry if I am reading a level of passion against Hastert that doesn't really exist, I'm not talking about your show, I'm just referring to the few posts I have seen.

I think that anyone on our side who buys in even a little bit at this point with the demonization of Hastert regarding our closeted congressman, is helping to do the devils work. And I hate seeing it happen, because they cannot work their evil spinning plans UNLESS WE HELP THEM BY REACTING.

I will check out your shows, can I download mp3s or is it streaming...

[Phsstpok]

They embrassed him and re-elected him every time.

<snip>

Duh, my spelling is not embraceable.

Foley's constituents EMBRACED him.

It's worse than you think.  I read the first statement as "they embarrassed him" and I thought huh?  I mean.... well... um... huh?

Samantha's take on this, since he has been her congressman, has been instructive and refreshing.  More importantly it gives me lots of confidence that the DBM is reading this race, which they now predict as a slam dunk for the dims, as badly as they are reading all of the other races.

I still think we're going to pick up seats in both the House and the Senate.  I hope Chafee is gone, but I bet we don't lose another Senate seat, and I'm betting we get a different RINO in exchange for Chafee by picking up the seat in New Jersey.  And if the folks in Florida get pissed enough might it put Katherine Harris over the top?  Wouldn't that just mess with their heads?  On both sides of the aisle?

 

 

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. By definition, those who actually had sex would be presumed to be worse.

So, how's the list going? Daniel Inouye, Gary Hart, Barney Frank, Garry Studds, Bill Clinton, Gary Condit, Christopher Dodd, Teddy Kennedy.........

[Phsstpok]

Beatings? Not a chance. Remember my tag line!

[Arizona Carolyn]

We live in a heavily GOP community (small town) and Trent Franks is pretty safe, I "think" Kyl is going to pull it out against Pederson and the rest of the ticket for our area the GOP is pretty safe. I can't speak for Flagstaff or Tucson area though...

I worry about Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio as well as Missouri which Real Clear Politics said the other night may make the difference in who holds the senate.

[Morgan in Denver]

I did, and I agree.
