"We didn't have a free election in 2002." Just what the he!! is he talking about? The election of 2002 featured the RATS pulling every dirty trick in the book in Minnesota and New Jersey and actually stealing the election in South Dakota.

Well he was right wasn't he.

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, but I don't think he has enough money to purchase that favor. lol

"We didn't have a free election in 2002."

English Translation: The liberals lost. It is inconceivable that liberals could lose if there were a free election. Therefore, it must have been the work of the evil vast right wing conspiracy.

"[W]hen Castro first took over, we all celebrated enormously. Cuba, which was never supposed to be under the hegemony of the United States had finally found its freedom. Within a year, because of pressure by the United States, Fidel demonstrated his independence of the United States. The United States could not tolerate a little country, a little Hispanic country 90 miles off the United States declaring its independence of the United States so immediately embargoes, everything began to take place, forcing him into the sphere of Soviet influence."

Castro took over in 1959. According to Asner, the evil U.S. empire forced poor Castro to become a commie a year later. So he must be talking about the Kennedy administration. But I thought Kennedy was a democRAT?

oh god!

longing for the good ol' days when bill clinton was raping juanita broaderick, smoking cigars in the oval office, and his buddy vince committed suicide in the white house parking lot, but the body was discovered miles away!

"We didn't have a free election in 2002."

Get used to this, gang. From now on, every election is going to be called dirty. Every time there is the slightest dispute, and even when there isn't, the stole-the-election crowd is going to lose their minds. The only way to fight it is to not do wha they do, and remain calm and rational while they throw public tantrums.

LOL! Oh, Mr. Grant!

These guys are going to get really interesting after President Bush is reelected.

[netmilsmom]

Or as Rush says, laugh at them. It drives them nuts.

Here's a little story about the Embargo that has been completely erased by revisionism and poor journalism. A few months after Castro tricked the U.S. into helping him overthrow Batista, he showed his true colors by admitting he was aligned with the communists all along, and Nationalized all the American holdings in Cuba. This included a lot of land, homes, casinos, and wealth totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. He then threw all the Americans off the island. The US was rightly angered and the Legislature unanimously passed an Embargo on Cuba to force Castro to give back the American holdings. He could have ended the Embargo at any time during the last forty years by simply giving the Americans back their property. But it has been more profitable all these years to play the victim. And that's the real TRUTH!!!

i don't undertand why people watch this crap on tv or go to movies.

if you don't give them money, they go away!

I read the article, looked for attribution to "The Onion," and was disappointed but not surprised....

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

You should get it right before posting something that a homeschooled first-grader would know to be incorrect....

[fight_truth_decay]

I'm still sitting here wondering why anyone should care what that has-been has to say.

I was also wondering why the Press still have invited guests like Asner ..just keeps stirring the pot of Anti-Bushism. If they have him on, they should balance it out with a Cuban American to counter his "know all" rhetoric. But then again, he might not show!

YESTERDAY I signed up with MCI. I had no idea Glover was their mouthpiece. (I don't watch TV) Today I called to cancel and they asked why. When I told them I didn't care for Glover's politics (in a nutshell) they told me "MCI takes no Political position" I told them; "When your spokesperson takes a political position, you come with it for free."
I told them that I want to insure that none of my money goes to paying Glover. I had signed up my dad yesterday too. They lost two accounts... and I found a better deal by shopping further today!
Principals pay

[fight_truth_decay]

I also got the same response yesterday..via e-mail. I was just checking to see if he was still a 'representative' of MCI.

They have a similar definition of "self-determination". It means communism. Naturally all people would choose communism freely as the ideal system of government. (:P) So if the particular nation in question is NOT communist, it means "the people have been denied their right to self-determination".

The Glover MCI connection has been cut according to another thread

MCI wasn't aware of it this morning when I cancelled two MCI accounts because of him.
