All us “locals” just spend our time drinkin’ moonshine, watching Dukes of Hazard reruns and once in a while get the hounds out to hunt some varmits.

Brit’s Panel (sans Brit) played the Hillary clip in PA and remarked that it was very bad for Barry—even compared to Bubba’s big blabbering on the sniper fire tale.

They were a factor in 2004. There are probably fr threads devoted to it. Yahoo can be used to search old FR threads (Google purges older “hits” these days).

He's done

I think this finally did it. It just shows how easy he would have been to beat in the general. If Hillary wins the nomination after her hard fight against Obama, there's no way she's going to let McCain win the Presidency. The right should have let him take her out first. Now we'll be stuck with Hillary...... and Bill.

Are you sure that’s not the proposed NObomba Cabinet?

Yes. And Hussein's Speaker of the House. You can't shut him up.

Every time I see race-baiting Jesse, I think he should be the poster boy for Diwns Syndrome.

Arrogant and ignorant. And there are actually people, very ignorant people, who think this man is ready to be the President of the United States? Frightening!

None of the 3 candidates for President understand America. For that matter, very few in Congress understand America either. Metaphorically, they are all living behind very high walls.
The average American is not.

I’m surprised to see a group of Amish holding a veterans sign, since they (the Amish) are pacifists and all.
