    We no longer hear about the greedy Oil speculators as the price is Spiraling into the Deck. What the commiecRats are not saying is that this proves that Supply and Demand works. The market is betting that there will be less oil needed as the future recession sets in around the World. This is also more proof that the World is fearing a Nodrillbama administration. The World knows that there will be reduced usage as industries collapse worldwide and they are right. The markets are hedging against a Black Whiteguilt Oblack administration w/a socialist congress. The trigger of this Market...

    If anyone can, please help me. I have some friends in Pittsburgh who are both liberal and conservative. We had been chatting about the woman there who said she was attacked and a "B" etched into her face. One particularly liberal friend is now saying that the McCain people PRESSURED the news media there to run the story about the woman. She has said this after I sent her the original article, and then sent the report that it was a hoax. I even commented how these "hoaxes" hurt us all, of both parties. But this woman INSISTS that now,...
  • McCain brings up LA Times video controversy

    10/28/2008 2:46:41 PM PDT · by BuckeyeGOP · 14 replies · 770+ views
    Today McCain was being interviewed on 610wtvn radio in Columbus, Ohio (a very popular show and time slot). He actually brought up the story of the LA Times refusing to release the video tape showing Obama toasting P.L.O. members. He then went on to tie it into Ayers. It's refreshing to see McCain finally taking off the gloves!!

    Tensions and anxiety are high right now and everybody wants to purge. But as the mods are constantly pointing out there are way too many vanities clogging the system. Here is an easy rule of thumb to use when thinking of posting a vanity. A good vanity is one that informs, educates, amuses or otherwise delights the reader. By its nature it is positive as it contributes to the participants overall FR experience. A bad vanity is a vent or whose purpose is to get something off the chest of the poster and is by its nature, selfish, because only...

    I, my friends and family, and all on my Email contact list, across the nation, intend to turn off our TVs completely, tomorrow night. We intend to let the TV ratings tell what we think of the networks and their annointed candidate. If there was any patriotism left in the network executives the speech no one needs to hear would be followed by the networks telling the American people all they have been hiding. We know they are too treasonous to do that. You can let them know that you agree. Turn the TV off tomorrow night, and tell your...
  • The Koffee Klatch - The Last Week

    10/28/2008 8:51:41 AM PDT · by Candybar · 237+ views
    Our Koffee Klatch meets every morning to shoot the breeze. This is election week. So we talk about and follow politics. We are all retired senior citizens, We have a mix. Some are Republicans. Some are Democrats. Most, but not all, know who they will vote for. It's pretty close to 50-50 (all do not come every day). What has stirred the people up is Obama's wanting to "redistribute the wealth". Not one Republican liked that. And a couple Democrats didn't like it either. Most people thought it was a step toward Federal Government Controls, and higher income taxes. They...

    So you dumped my post on baseball players being wimps. But the article had more to do with baseball than just the fact that they cry about the rain and their little outfits get wet. It also had to do with fans and taxpayers. Do you oppose those groups also? Where did my original post go? Or do you just dump what you do not agree with? You would not be perhaps fans of one of the two teams playing?

    These over paid baseball players are wimps. They spend their lives playing baseball, living in gyms, probably using drugs and chasing underage girls, but cannot play in the rain? What a bunch of wimps!The boys of summer may be light in the boots. Their ancestors rode and walked across this nation in all sorts of weather, but not these whining over stuffed shirts. No, it is raining and I am cold, so tell the 60,000 fans to wait or come back later. Baseball has looted many cities in this nation for new stadiums. Have you ever considered what you do...

    It is no secret that a centrally controlled economy, in which a centralized government agency makes all major decisions and imposes a one-size-fits-all approach to all of its participants, regardless of individuals' talents, personalities, and interests, does not produce a successful economy. So why would such an approach work with education?

    I just saw on Fox News that the NAACP is asking the courts to allocate more voting machines for the State of Virginia and add an additional 2 hours to the time the polls are open. The reason: 436,000 new voters have been registered in VA since the last election. That scares the crap outa me. Anyone care to guess what percentage of those 436,000 are Black voters? Are they transplants from D.C. ? In '04, Bush beat Kerry in VA by 200,000 votes. If this 436,000 are voters registered by the Dems (the NAACP and ACORN), I think I...

    We have exactly a week to prove that we can still win this election. Please come together and speak with one voice against Obama and his message of redistribution. Let us stay together. We can make this happen. We have an excellent candidate in McCain and Palin. Let us do everything to put McCain over the top. We would like to thank Mr. Boehner for his comments against redistributive change. Again, all Republicans you owe it to yourself, your party and to your country.

    Watching Peter Hart conduct a focus group of undecideds. Looks like good news for McCain. To start out with Peter Hard (a Demoncrat pollster) is trying his best to pump Obama and diminish Palin, although he's subtle about it. Of the 12, there's a PUMA there who is pissed off with Obama who's voting for McCain. The final count McCain 7 and Obama 5. On a side note, Peter Hart said these folk were undecided and that he whittled out the partisan, but after hearing these guys, I agree with many that there are no real undecides - these guys...
