Poor Queen Nancy...perhaps she needs another visit on The View, Rachel Ray or Oprah’s couch. Girl power, you know. ;)

[rodguy911]

You were a big part of it as well Star! You have our hearty thanks.

[rodguy911]

Don’t get me started on how we screwed up Haiti! I spent way too much time and have way too many friends down there.

[Miss Didi]

I only saw a few minutes of FNS...I messed up with my dvr again pausing to transcribe and then oops! changing the channel by accident and missing The Panel. And I missed the other shows talking to the folks. I can only report on Lifetime movies today if anyone is interested. ;)

[freema]

Thanks.

[Morgan in Denver]

Sorry. Democrats provide a laugh a minute, don’t they? Nothing like turning a whole fleet around, because the dock had men waving clubs at our marines. Or, bombing a few huts in Iraq and an asprin factory.

Yep, those Democrats really know how to use the military.

[Miss Didi]

I only got to leave a voice mail...the guys answering the phone refuse to deal with you if you are not from San Fran.

Later that day, I got a call from the RNC thanking me for supporting McCain. Any other time, I would have loved to praise the Repubs for standing up to Queen Bee but the gal on the phone could barely speak English and refused to stop reading her script. I was shouting--Miss, Miss, thank you, I will continue supporting McCain...thank you now, Miss. She was still reading when I hung up.

[BusterBear]

I am convinced that leftists are missing the part of their brain that deals with logic.

They are logical if you start off with their assumptions:

1. Americans are ignorant.
2. Americans don't remember.
3. Americans are poor in subjects like math and science - and are therefore poor in making logical connections and in engaging in analytical thinking.

Given these assumptions, Democrats have reached the conclusion that the way to appeal to Americans is to appeal to emotion and give them the big lie - and most Americans will be too dumb and/or ignorant to see any logical inconsistencies or deviations from matters previously reported.

LATE EDITION (CNN) : James K. Glassman, undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs

Talking opinion of US in other countries, especially in Muslim and Arab world, McCain on Guantanamo, Bush has already said he will close, must just be a gotcha on McCain

James K. Glassman “promote freedom not win some American Idol contest”

Blitzer reading someone else’s comment(paraphrased): Obama done more to improve the image abroad then the entire Bush diplomacy for seven years.

Blitzer: Just realizing Ideology of AL Qa’dah will still be alive when Bin Laden is gone. My emphasis on the ‘dah, thank goodness President Bush rid the world of a whole lot of them.

[rodguy911]

Demonrats are a scary bunch from top to bottom. Not a brain- wave to be found anywhere.

[Alas Babylon!]

BWAHAHAHA!!!

Love it! Obviously, Baraq must have steakhouse burgers alot!!!

[Son House]

Sometimes I take a break too, already got my lot in life, and if folks want to ruin their chances by the high tax rates and socialism of Obama, my vote may not stop them from their own stupidity...

[rodguy911]

None of these bozos recognize what Lieberman was talking about this morning on MTP. Obamby is just a European rock star not a political leader. He is unbelievably unqualified to do anything in govt. You don't vote for a learn as you go President it doesn't work that way.

[Morgan in Denver]

On FNS, Daschle said experience is not important, but it’s Obama’s judgment that is so great.

Really, thought I.

Judgment concerning the people he’s been associated with all thees years? Judgment in who he dealt with financially in Chicago? Judgment in his association with anti-US radicals?

Unfortunately, Daschle did not mention anything beyond the Iraqi war to prove Obama’s judgment.

I swear, Democrats have a death wish.

[Miss Didi]

Yeah but the key statement bu her on the interview was her blaming GW for her refusal to allow an up or down vote on drilling. She is toast if our side plays this one up.

She stated that since GW does this or that she won't allow a vote on drilling. sorry Nancy it doesn't work that way in the people's house.

I'm sure Rush will be thrilled to play Queen Nancy's clip tomorrow!

THE PRESIDENT: ...I am great. We're doing very good, thank you very much, sir. Concerned about our economy, obviously, but know we need to be drilling for some oil and gas in order to take the pressure off the gas prices -- and I'm pleased with the progress in Iraq.

RUSH: Have you heard what Senator Obama wants to do? He wants another stimulus check of a thousand dollars to every American paid for by the oil companies.

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Well, what we ought to be doing is encouraging oil companies to find oil, and that's the best way to take the pressure off the gasoline prices. We're on a very strong push to get the Congress to allow for there to be offshore drilling, and most Americans understand now that an increase in oil, particularly here in America, will help take pressure off of price. And I tell people I'd rather, you know, be buying American oil instead of sending our money overseas.

RUSH: You know, Mr. President, it's amazing. In 2004 during your campaign, Senator Kerry was constantly criticizing you for not "jawboning" with the Saudis enough to bring the price of oil down. Now, four years later, they're doing everything they can to keep the price from coming down. They apparently want it to remain high.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, they may want to, but the American people want to see some relief. It would be like a massive tax cut when the gasoline prices decline. So we're in times of economic uncertainty and the more money people have in their pockets the quicker we'll be able to recover, in my judgment. You asked how I'm doing. My spirits are high; I'm going to finish strong. I love my family and I'm spending two days here with mother and dad before I head overseas...

[Gritty]

We can vote ourselves into slavery, but slaves cannot vote to free themselves.

Exactly. It's a one way street - and a steeper and steeper careen downhill when one gets on that road.

[Cboldt]

-- I had no idea Romney became a Main Street Republican --

Republican Main Street Partnership
Republican Main Street Partnership - Members

I detest this bunch of louts. I don't believe Romney is or ever was a member - not that I think very highly of Romney, I'd much prefer him to ANY of the RMSP jerks.

[rodguy911]

On FNS,Daschle said experience is not important, but it's obama's judgment that is so great.

You gotta wonder just how dumb these guys can get.

[rodguy911]

I'm hoping this is the statement that our pundits use to hang Piglosi, it is very telling.

[Son House]

LATE EDITION (CNN) : Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo

McCaskill talking on the 2005 energy bill(paraphrased)’Obama is focused like a laser on alternative fuel sources’

Lady, Obama has a short attention span, focus is something he can’t do very well unless it’s on a teleprompter.

Blitzer also lets McCaskill get by with demonizing high income American.
