My daughter hates ‘texting’, but her children live by it. I had rather pick up the phone and call the person.

I use to think that but find texting is less intrusive. The person is required to pick up the phone when I call where a text they can reply to at their convince.

You're welcome! I am still in shock....

Is it wrong to be warming up to David Gregory? It sure feels wrong!

[bray]

Watching that townhall he tried to pull a clinton w/his Grandma and looked like a heartless phony. The man has no sympathy for anybody including his family. He is one empty robe.

Pray for America

beef shortage

I remember those years, too.

The shortages actually started under Nixon/Ford.

Paper, antifreeze, sugar, gasoline, etc.

Under Carter, interest rates were in the 18% vicinity. The company I worked for at the time began having salary COLAs every 3 months just to keep pace with price increases.

Never thought we'd see 18% interest rates again -- but we likely will. Never thought we'd see 1.8% interest rates we have now. lol

I don't know Morgan a lot of unruly conservatives there,looked like one was even scowling,time to call in Acorn,the responsible protesters

Major said he had put in a ‘freedom of info’ request. We will see if that results in anything. Gibbs has already admitted that there is a list.

[9YearLurker]

He’s probably like Jake Tapper—just when you’re starting to feel warm and fuzzy he writes several posts monstrously distorting Palin’s position and trashing her like the rest of Washington does. My advice: hold three-quarters of your heart and your brain in reserve.

[A.Hun]

Good advice! Thanks.

[Girlene]

Gov. Ritter of Colorado is blaming the protestors for the reason Obama’s poll numbers on his handling of the health care debate are falling. Poor Obama. LOL. Thanks, Gov!

[MNJohnnie]

MSNBC best check the polling data. Rassmussen, Fox and Gallup all show opposition to the Health Care bill growing rapidly since the Dems started sliming the protectors.

[rodguy911]

I wanted to(sign up for SS) but if you make over 13 or 15 thousand you can’t do it,so I will probably not be able to collect for a while.

[longtermmemmory]

Actually I think we are In Hoover II.

Notice the homeless people have disappeared.

There is no reports about the Obamavilles that have popped up.

I was in court this week and pass by a judges forclosure docket. The media is not reporting the whole story.

It is much much much worse in the courtroom dockets of the USA. Reporters are beyond stupid for not simply going to court and seeing the horrific state of forclosures with their own eyes.

[TomGuy]

I use to think that but find texting is less intrusive.

And here I thought that was the reason voice mail was invented.

[rodguy911]

Truth is we have no idea of how may seats they could lose. If the truth comes out about how bad off the country is financially due to the Jokers wild spending sprees there is no telling what the reaction could be by voters who can still add and multiply.

[rodguy911]

I hope I am wrong cajungirl.

[rodguy911]

That's the great thing about watching Dems in action. You know sooner or later they will screw up so bad they will self destruct. We get to sit back and watch them do it.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

If the President “has no plan” why does he continually refer to “My Plan” at his recent stage shows?

Because he is a liar or a buffoon? He left it up to congress to draft the commie-care details.

Come to think of it, I think some of the language in the porkulus bill had a lot of the Deathcare components hidden in it.

[shalom aleichem]

D Gregourie speaks French, you know?

[mathluv]

I don't think they will stop. They have been trying for too long to get this. It just may slow them down some.

The video of that msnbc guy - Lawrence???- yelling at Culberson and calling Medicare and Social Security 'socialistic' is proof of what they have been trying to do.

[rodguy911]

Can't argue with you. But given a choice I will remain a Pubbie every time.
