Absolutely, sad thing is so many voters are so ignorant they buy what the dems sell.............

How about stadium seating at the MID casa, maybe 8 or 10 rows up! You could singlehandedly eliminate the deficit for Colorado just from sales tax collections.!

[snugs]

Thanks for the thread - good morning all

[rodguy911]

Absolutely Hillary has a truly difficult time when she is not allowed to take two or sometimes three sides of every issue out there. She needs a pointed hat,(since she likes hats so much) that reads triangulation are me!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Hi folks was offline last month. (Too much potato salad for my computer, I think).

I see the GOP is being represented by a failed computer exec and Lindsay Graham. This is probably as good as it will get for the next 4 years.

Morning snugs,

Is the change in London to conservatives the real deal or just a bump in the road because the old mayor was so radical?

[Bahbah]

Good morning, snugs.

We are all atwitter over Red Ken’s loss in London, although I must say that the new guy looks a little strange.

[Rummyfan]

I see both Russert and Stephanapoulus will be having love-ins...

[johnny7]

I think she could do the country much harm if elected.

Probably more than boma since she knows her way around the halls of Congress a little better.

Obama would be stymied by both parties... if he managed to beat McCain(which I don't think he can). Rodham and the Rapist would get the 'green light' from their party... and easily snooker the Snowe's, Collins's, McCain's, Lugar's...

HRC is the most dangerous threat... and she always was.

Luntz then did a segment that college students were living in fear of the economy and the aftermath of the Bush2 Administration.

[One male student countered to the female whiner with ‘are you still going to be blaming the Bush admin when you are 60? Grow up. Our parents lived through rough years and they made it.’]

I got a growl and scowl when I showed this graph to one of the libs I work with when he was complaining about the price of diesel fuel and how much more it was costing him to commute lately. I told him to look at the price in 10/24/2007 and 4/24/2008.

Then, I asked him what happened in Nov 06. He had the "deer in the headlights" look. I told him, "that is when people like you voted the dims into office". No answer to that and just a scowl as he walked away. He was PO'ed to say the least.

[Bahbah]

Obama is accusing the Rev. of wanting the spotlight.

Timmy is just letting him go on and on with his prepared script (none of you will be surprised at this, I know).

Why did you wait so long, asks Timmy? And he replays a bit from the Philly speech. Timmy’s tone is gentle and concerned.

[Bahbah]

Did ya’ll know that Rev. Wright was once a Marine? LOL. That’ll fix the whole thing.

[johnny7]

Timmy’s tone is gentle and concerned.

LOL!

[cajungirl]

Obama is very slick

[maica]

living in fear of the economy and the aftermath of the Bush2 Administration.

#####

a very good response to this sentiment is that the economy has been in trouble since the Dems took over in Congress. If we get a dem president, look for worsening economy. Socialism or overbearing government meddling only hurts economies.

[Lacey]

Chris W has come out swinging with Dean on Fox.

[TornadoAlley3]

Murray said, that bin Laden has been “out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, ..........”

[TomGuy]

MTP

Russert’s first question: the Wright controversy.

Obama gives his standard spin, somewhat distancing himself from Wright's comments.

Russert brings up video of the ‘I can no more disown him...’ and then shows the later video of ‘his comments were divisive and destruction...and they should be denounced...’

Obama claims that those previous videos/audios were spiced from various sermons and Obama pleads ignorance about hearing those comments previously. Obama claims he apparently didn't know Wright as well as he though he did.

[Duh! If someone baptizes the kids, performs the marriage, and has been a personal mentor for 20 years, you should know the fundamental beliefs of that person.]

[Russert seems to be attempting to give Obama a forum to rehabilitate himself, rather than really taking Obama to task on the differences Obama claims now to have with the Rev.]

[Alas Babylon!]

She needs a pointed hat,(since she likes hats so much) that reads triangulation are me!

She already has one, Rod:

[Bahbah]

Russert seems to be attempting to give Obama a forum to rehabilitate himself

LOL. Ya think!!!!

[Girlene]

I can’t believe Dean just said bringing up the Rev. Wright is “race-baiting”.
