I travel through there all the time. How the heck does this assclown get reelected?

I dunno. Republican machine I guess. Lindsey is truly disgusting.

If you're gonna be near Aiken sometime, drop me a FReepmail and we can do lunch.

[mojitojoe]

. He is going to be on Fox and The View, as well as do interviews with print reporters.

I think he should do a full hour with Rush and Hannity. *big grin*

[mojitojoe]

Reliable Sources showed a clip of Shepard Smith tearing a strip off of Blago as Fox was carrying Blago’s press statement. Shep was more viciously partisan than the folks who talk used to talk over each other on the old H&C show. I stopped watching Smith in 2005, and have almost completely stopped watching Fox at all. This video was really amazing stuff. Shep could not allow his viewers to hear Blago’s actual words. His antipathy was enormous - sort of like his attitude was towards the rescuers in New Orleans.

The first time Shep did this when Blago was on, I sent a snotty email. This time I made sure it far outdid the last one and then I sent a couple of more just to make it clear. Lots of my friends did the same. I cannot believe he did it again after all the email he got the last time. That shows me he's an arrogant little pissant just like the zer0 he's so madly in love with. Watch for the next WH scandal to be zer0 and Shep in the oval office after hours

[mojitojoe]

No Shep at any time, ever.

He is BOYCOTTED, for life. Fox ratings must be down except for Hannity, O’ Reilly and Beck. I don’t know a single person that watches Shep anymore.

[mojitojoe]

The only thing that makes drama queen Glen Beck watchable for me are the guests. He seems to have a lot of guests and good ones too.

Right now, we need drama queens like Savage, Beck, etc. What we don’t need are the pansy as*es that play softball when they need to play hardball.

[csmusaret]

You are welcome to them. I’ll pass.

...another poll on FNC that said 52% of Americans understand that debt is the problem! Maybe there is hope after all.

I want to think that this is possible; but Schumer's constant stream of crap on FNS this morning is, once again, the clearest indicator where the Rats will likely be allowed to take the country. Spend,spend, and spend more...Every time Wallace raised the question of reducing taxes as a spur to the economy, Chuckie couldn't get his mouth going fast enough to point out that increased government spending, not tax reduction, has the fastest effect on stimulating the economy.

And, lo' and behold, even conservative economists agree with this perversion-according to Schmuckie. This is the kind of bald-faced lying that will prolong the misery and create the conditions upon which Rats thrive, just as they did in the 1930's and beyond.

If this partial breakdown of the 2008 presidential election is accurate, Conservatives- and the nation- could be in for an extended hard ride. The words "Wounds my heart with a monotonous languor" come to mind.

I am actually wondering if Blogo may stay since he may have the goods on everyone and if he forces them to testify he may just stay?

[rodguy911]

Will do,late March for next trip,then quite regulary.

[Hoodat]

Nice tagline. Have you gotten it copyrighted?

[Fishtalk]

Bravo.

[rodguy911]

The partial breakdown like most voting stats makes no sense at all.

As far as Schumer, since its all vote buying for the rats anyway. When you break it all down the last thing the rats want is for capitalism to work. With people spending their own hard earned for their own needs and desires that won't do at all. After all the game is to attack capitalism and buy votes with money from those who have earned it working.

Dems want to secure election after election with our money. It's the same game the terrorists play whenever we let them.

[Cheerio]

Grif Jenkins(great guy IMHO) just touted another poll on FNC that said 52% of Americans understand that debt is the problem! Maybe there is hope after all.

Does that agree the close to 75% that are approving of the Messiah's actions so far? This admin is going to be just like Buba Klintoon - the further into impeachment the higher his ratings went.

[rodguy911]

Two different polls I believe.

I think the Obama crime family is even more sophisticated than the clintonistas. They have more money, more power and an even bigger world wide reach.

As previously stated, the minute obamby conquered Hillary he stole everything he could from her except her pantsuit.

[PerConPat]

The partial breakdown like most voting stats makes no sense at all.

Trust me, I'd like to believe that, as well. But something is going on in the middle class. It was not able to generate the votes that would have offset an inclination of the wealthy and the less well-to-do for big government. One would think that there would be sufficient numbers in the middle income group that could see the danger to capitalism posed by an Obama presidency.

What make no sense is the failure of sufficient numbers of those who earn their money to rise up in defiance of those who want to give money away to drones and big government fat cats.

[penelopesire]

If any republican congresscritter votes: YES for Eric Holder..they should be taken out to the wood shed and voted out of office in 2010!

[top 2 toe red]

Pretty much the same exact time frame with me on stopping watching him and then unfortunately during the run up to the election I had gotten back into just keeping the TV on Fox all day.

After a couple of emails from me, he even sent one back absolutely enraged that I thought his 'reporting,' if you can call it that, was partisan! He used the phrase, "How dare you?" and "You KNOW nothing about my personal beliefs."

Yeah, uh huh, Shep, tell us another one.

[csmusaret]

I guess about 3 pm eastern tomorrow I’ll be sending an e-mail. Hope lots of other Freepers do too.

[Enchante]

The last two times I have watched any of Shep’s babbling b.s. were a bit of the Katrina coverage (I turned him off) and the a bit of his vile coverage of Lebanon in 2006 (I turned him off again). Ever since I have pretty much given up on all TV news and avoid it. There are so many better sources of info and I don’t need to endure Shep’s smirking bombast.

[Fishtalk]

Just for giggles and grins I include a pic of our country's new presidential Chief of Staff. Such class.
