    Doesn't work, phone's browser locks when I try to use it.
    The browser doesn't recognize the spell check button next to the review or post.oddly enough, the only one it does recognize is the post button.
    On other brand of blog, its different. On typepad nothing works, so I guess I should be happy...

    I had posted a comment of support-in-theory, (see the comment this is linked to...) But it was scrubbed. I guess supportive comments are attacks too. Unfortunately, it had all of the URLs I know of for places that are of like mind (approx. 8 places). Since I was using my phone at the time, I don't have that list... If you're interested or it would help, FreeManN, I'll try to rebuild the list...

    Over the weekend, you see, Sen. McConnell gave the GOP radio address. The subject was the “stimulus.” Generational Theft Act, Crap Sandwich Supreme, Porkulus, Spendulus, Debt Stimulus Plan. Pick your name. It’s all B.S. And Americans know it. Senate debate begins today at 2pm Eastern. On the heels of the House Republicans’ unanimous rejection of the Obama/Democrats’ Big Government package and shifting public opinion against the plan, you might think the Senate GOP minority leader would get a clue: Big Government = Bad Idea. But nooooo. Sen. McConnell knows how to extinguish any fledgling flame of enthusiasm among grass-roots activists who were starting to think the Republican Party was returning to its fiscal conservative principles. Fuhgeddaboudit, people. Sen. McConnell’s grand idea to “fix” the stimulus is to create new, government-backed mortgages.
    I did not lie about you, WOSG, and MCConnell hasn't learned anything: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/01/08/flashback-ucla-study-on-fdrs-growth-stifling-policies/
    Roosevelt’s role in lifting the nation out of the Great Depression has been so revered that Time magazine readers cited it in 1999 when naming him the 20th century’s second-most influential figure. “This is exciting and valuable research,” said Robert E. Lucas Jr., the 1995 Nobel Laureate in economics, and the John Dewey Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. “The prevention and cure of depressions is a central mission of macroeconomics, and if we can’t understand what happened in the 1930s, how can we be sure it won’t happen again?” …”The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes,” Cole said. “Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened.”

    Uhh, my last post was to FreemanN, had no attacks, simply pointed out that while I agreed w/his aims, I doubtede he’d be able to get it to fly.

    Why was that one scrubbed?

    BTW:
    here's the URL to malkin's post: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/02/sen-mcconnell-proposes-more-big-government-to-fix-big-government-debacle/

    OConnell, McConnell, MConnell, Dummy, Sellout, whatever... If he can't be bothered to remember why the electorate sent him to DC why should we put effort into getting his name correct? Forget him, then Recall him!
    But a Re-puke-ian such as yourself, is probably in full agreement with Ol' Sen McConnell's love for crap sandwiches!

    Troll? Sorry, this is a Conservative board.
    If you want to just cheer anything a Repubician[sic] says, please go a GOP board. They'd love to have you there.
    As for "Repukians" (pronounced Re-puke-ians), it is a Mark Levin-ism, so I guess if that makes me a troll I'm in good company.
    The fact I might have mispelled Mitch OConnell's name, (my uncertainity of the correct spelling flagged with common editor's symbol of: "[sp?]") might mean I have difficulty with spelling, but your using it to accuse me of being a troll is a common Liberal tactic: symbolism (spelling) over the substance of my remarks.
    As to the Minority Leader's comments, they were broadcast just the other day.
    Even Michelle Malkin (who's often as much as 2days behind the newscycle on her board because of personal appearences) has posted it as the top story.


    Dear Moderator:
    Is there any significance to that person including you in the "To" section? I'm new here, so I'm uncertain as to the sgnificance of its action.

    You're behind. Sen. Oconnell[sp?], Repukian, is behind it.
    Oh, I know he's said "our purpose is not to kill the bill, but to improve it..."
    You'all know: more pork!

    Why, yes he certainly does know an earmark. Look at the arm twisting he did on behalf of bailout #1 after $100 plus BILLIONS in earmarks were added! (the most earmarks on one bill {by $ amount} up to that time.)

    Obviously he was confused in his opposition to earmarks. They just hadn't yet totalled enough to meet his threshold of approval!

  • Sen. John McCain Says He Views Himself as the "Loyal Opposition" to President Obama - Video 1/25/09

    Yes, we've seen his "principles" up close:

    Too honourable to tell the truth about Obambo : a liar and a Socialist who's mentor's a terrorist, and an obviously dishonest politician.
    Not honourable enough to tell the truth about Romney in FL: a (mostly) conservative and (mostly) honest politician.

    Senator McCain, how could we doubt your good intent? Or for that matter your judgement?

    Speaking of Sen McCain's (R? Media) judgement... during the campaign, didn't McCain say Obingo was "honest" and that he'd "make a great president"?

    I guess it really does take one to know one!
