ABC to self: Let's put a NASCAR driver on with McCain and Hoyer so that we can boob bait the Bubbas.
I look forward to seeing the photos on the dose tonight.
Tony's account is still active, though he doesn't post and all of his old posts have been pulled. I still ping him on some items in case he still checks in. I would actually bet that he and Brit, along with lots of other folks, have interns or aids who get the duty to browse through FR (and DU and other places) from time to time. I'd bet they also have keyword bots running against us and a lot of sites looking for specific topics and references.
UHHH O.K.
Voters of Montana and Virginia who didn't support the conservative opposition: Thanks.
Are they waltzing or doing the tango?
The old media still drives the train and has the largest audience.
Robert Reich is on Steffie's roundtable. They have him on a phone book. I wish I could see how far his feet were off the floor.
Agreed. Nor would it surprise me if Snow was reading posts himself and not passing them on to staffers. I doubt Tony would post or respond because of his position but I think FR was high on his list of places to read and learn.
No other source, compared to FR, has thousands of people around the world posting links to articles and information that we do here.
Kerry was simply amazing but Wallace continued to lead.
Im not so sure it was a smack down. Bubba really showed himself for he was-a narcisstic back pedaler..
Steffie's roundtable proving my earlier thesis...the media has decided that success is not possible in Iraq and it is their job now to get us out. They have decided.
Many Dems I know are not the flaming loons like Cindy Sheehan ... they are more like the JFK or RFK democrats
When you really talk to them .. they don't like socialism .. they don't like paying higher taxes and the don't Hellarycare for THEMSELVES
They consider the Government like a charity to help the "poor people"
They don't realize what happens when they keep voting in dems .. because when things get bad .. they just move to a different place .. they move on and don't realize the mess they left behind
For example .. a few years back I had a conversation with my dem sister and her husband .. I tried and tried to get them to understand
Finally I asked them why they left Philly .. a city that has been controlled my Dems for many many years
Their answer was .. the school system was corrupt and lousy, the crime was higher, the taxes were too high and the jobs were leaving to the burbs
Though they did eventually see my point .. they still vote dems into office .. who are doing the exact same thing they did to Philly
So .. how do we fix this and correct it?? ... I really don't know
It was the ticket to win on in 2006... it'll still be here for 2008 but the 'chump party' still hasn't figgered' out how to use it.
The next question that remains to be answered is will big govt. go after "wayward" cities who want to preserve their way of life.
If govt. interferes in small cities trying to zone or regulate the illegals out of town, there may be a huge backlash.
We may see in a few years some cities that are free of illegals and others that are ruled by them where the entire character has changed such as LA or Miami.
Some have thought that this is how Hillary could possibly get that missing 4-5% she lacks from a win.
If she were to run on a platform of stopping illegal immigration(even though we all know she would not) she might get the same voters who kicked us out to put her in,and then we would be doomed.
The media and the democrats deciding whats good for Iraq..Saints preserve us, why dont they ask the troops or the Iraqis??
The chump voters still haven't "figgered" out how to use it.
Pols figger somethin' usually after voters figger somethin'.
