Paleese. Maybe she was crying because of all that extra money she will have to pay in taxes if her man gets voted into the presidency. He’ll probably tax her per tear too for all the big guberment plans he has and to try and heal all the worlds evil. Ah Messiah. Ah Humanity. Not.

More evidence people will believe just about anything they see, even when its clear that's no genuine substance to it!

Oprah, Obama, both abandon children to Rev Wright’s racist sermons at Trinity, and babies to die with underdeveloped lungs in the Abortion Clinics

I couldn't believe how flat and generic the speech was, considering he had months to prepare and his pick of speech writers.

The convention was a mushy mess. They teed it up for McCain.

We came home off the road but put CSPAN on to get the graphics and the WHITE/BLACK CHicks with severe allergies/runny eyes at the end of his 1 America dilly job speech was to much.

Well less smarter than the Freeper early on who told me stay off the road (tired up working 20hrs+ plus my friend and nieghbor died before we got on the road trip keeled over dead and he was super vegie/work out man ect) my humble most lovable friend one of three white Labs is whining time to go to bed. MOM.

So Signing off but had to get some after burn after such a HECK/HELL UV A Day rant. /off

pretty darn odd when the labs call ya to bed.
Ok signing off and going to pipe in some Saltys Jazz to drift off with. Nitey nite.

He and the party have no principles or values, so there’s nothing to get stimulated over except short-lived emotion, and “let’s make history!” feelings.

All that convention turned out to be was a weeklong orgasm for the DBM.

...”Paleese. Maybe she was crying because of all that extra money she will have to pay in taxes if her man gets voted into the presidency”...

I doubt that people like Oprah will pay a cent in new taxes. She and other super rich folks have lawyers who know all the tax loopholes which have been provided for those who are really rich. The people hit by taxes are those who may have just gotten to a good salary, but who have families to raise, college debts to pay off and God knows what else. If they happen to live in NYC where everything needed for the basic activities of life costs four times what people in the Midwest might pay, they will live hand to mouth and will work until July to pay off the government. Obama’s new taxes will cut the American ladder to a better life in half. It will take some time but we could become a country of masters and surfs because very few young people understand how government power corrupts the rights of freedom. The public schools, run by the left for many years now have seen to that. By the time the mourning comes, no one will remember its genesis..And, by the way, did anyone see the angry young African American man being interviewed by Shawn Hannity last evening? His facial expression was chilling to me and I asked myself if hatred was what I was looking at. Does anyone else fear that once these folks get the power they crave, dissenting voices will be silenced and free speech will be history?
