I cannot fathom why any average wage earner would choose a flexible rate mortgage. Its lunacy, when if the rate goes down in any way, one can remortgage.
If the rate goes up, you can re mortgage, but why would you.
As a Brit with the betting shop part and parcel of our culture it does amaze me and think surely this makes betting go more underground rather than having licensed betting shops.
Virtually every top professional soccer ground has a betting office at the ground where you can place a bet on the game, who will score the first goal etc etc. You can of course bet on anything else as it is a Ladbroke's outlet as well but they advertise it for the game you are watching.
I suspect all the guests do on all the shows if not in detail a brief outline I doubt any would go on the shows without that.
Has anyone mentioned Maine yet on Fox?
And they say there is no media bias as in the words of Bill Clinton “give me a break”.
Not a word! Maybe we just dreamed that the caucuses were happening.
HOHOHO.....Keep baiting me.
May I remind, if y'all really feel this way, that it was the fine, even-tempered John McCain who made that joke about Chelsea Clinton when the girl was only about 14 years old?
This was an attempt by the fine, even-tempered McCain to be one of the good ole boys in the pubbie party. But he's the one that made the joke, yes he was. And everyone was shocked when he told it then laughed that death-laugh of his.
Fine, fine man. such an even-temperment. So trustworthy. so admirable.
Didn't the NYT throw their support for McCain?
So I have to ask ... Why did then even print it in the first place ... hmmmmm
I pray you are right and I sincerely mean this.
“Has anyone ever heard a journalist say “Mr Clinton” as they have been saying “Mr Bush” for the past seven years?”
It’s the Libs and the DBM trying to be clever in their “protest” of the President.
They all snicker to themselves when they say “Mr. Bush” then in the next breath refer to Billy Jeff as “President Clinton”.
The problem for them is THEY are the only ones who think they are being clever.
The reset of us see them as idiots.
Gotta lay off the midnight chili.
I agree with you 100% nord. I’ve done an about-face and support Romney now. KFI re-played Romney’s stance on immigration, and I was smiling - he da man!
I'm pro-(Dose) LIFE-----VOTE ROMNEY!
No Fish I think you misunderstand me.
If it were up to me...hence the IMHO that I put in there...they would ALL be left alone.
Cindy McCain...Chelsea Clinton...Amy Carter...all of them.
McCain made a tasteless joke about a 14 y/o gil. That was unforgiveable.
I don’t condone that kind of boorish behavior out of anyone.
I trust him as far as I trust Her thighness.
Case in point: On today's program, in similar fashion to how Fox News referenced Mitt winning in Wyoming, Michigan and Nevada they never once mentioned that Mitt Romney is crushing the annointed McCain in the Maine caucus that concludes today. Oh, how about their poll that has McCain up by 26 points nationally, that is a total sham, their own people call it an "outrider", well they are right about that, it looks to be as far off as a poll can be and is but another attempt to tilt the public toward McCain.
They are not fooling me: The FNS roundtable, even Wallace and Krystal, were very complimentary of Romney in every way. Smart, intelligent, tall, conservative, commanding speaker, good looking, ran a good campaign, well funded....they say all these things now after they deem McCain to have the nomination sewed up. I mean the departure from the previous weeks was astounding, on those shows it was very non-stop praise for McCain.
Like I said, they ain't fooling me. They are as still as biased for McCain as ever, but they are now, like the officials in a game where all the penalties are called one way, trying to change how things are perceieved at the end of the contest. Sorry, Fox News I don't buy it. The time is long past to appear, to be, fair and balanced.
I am still looking for a Mitt rally. He won big in Maine where McCain, according to Fox News, was supposed to wipe the floor with Romney. Mitt has pulled ahead in California. The announcement of the McCain coronation just may have been a bit premature.
YEP. Remember when we all freaked when Tancredo endorsed Romney. WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!
Fox gets my viewership today.
John McCain has no particular problem with torture. Let's stop kidding ourselves here.
This fine, even-tempered man has had this issue as his own personal mantle much like Maureen Dowd awarded Cindy Sheehan the "absolute authority" title for the loss of her son in Iraq. So too we should give John McCain, a fine, even-tempered fellow, the absolute authority for all things torture. He was a prisoner of war, and using lib logic, thus WE, ie you and I, have no right to say anything as we've not experienced torture.
The advent of water-boarding gives the fine, even-tempered John McCain some pause as this action is not viewed as "torture", in the traditional sense of the word. It didn't give him too much pause, however, as he carries the award of absolute authority on such mantles proudly and with little logic applied.
It is, after all, NOT about what's best for this country. It is about getting the fine, very even-tempered John McCain elected president.
Which is how God Himself has ordained.
This is almost a mixture of a British tradition where it was not considered good form for a male to answer the phone Mr so and so but only to use his surname. Sadly this has died out and many times I here people say and answer the phone as Mr so and so.
Though in the case of the media often they do not give the President the courtesy of this title in the first place and go straight to Bush or Mr Bush. Just another symptom of BDS IMHO and of course media bias.
Regarding other ex Republican Presidents still being referred to as President Bush IMHO they do this because really these people have no real influence any more even when endorsing candidate etc. The current President though being a Republican and doubly as it is GWB they wish to minimize his authority and therefore do not refer to his official title.
