I sometimes think that some DU nerds are jamming the site.

The last time "plumbers" were as prominent in national politics as accidental celebrity Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, they were a team of political operatives caught breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate Hotel http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081027-joe-the-plumber-database-snooping-under-investigation.html

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...

After Shepard Smith hyperventalates interviewing Joe the Plumber....now Neil Cavuto is going crazy and throwing in the towel..."McCain is down 7 points in the latest Gallup poll....is an inconsistent message to blame??" WHAT ABOUT THE GALLUP POLL THAT HAS HIM DOWN 2?!?! Fox isnt showing that one at all!! Now Cavuto is bashing McCain non stop the entire show. AM I WATCHING MSNBC OR FOX?? Do these people know who watch their damn network? RIDICULOUS!!!

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?

The next president of the United States will appoint two, maybe three justices in his first term. If he serves two terms, it could be five justices.

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.

Ha ha. Just kidding. Did NOT vote for Komrade Obama. I did however stand in line 3 hours to Early/Advance vote (Woodstock, GA). It was a brisk 60F and windy as hell.

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...

Do you think they are about to talk about the African Press International tapes with Michelle?

I'll let you be the judge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Solidarity_Union This man is a big fraud.

Check out Hannity and Colmes - Sean is interviewing both Sarah and Piper! Sarah's so proud of her! I think Piper will be running for office - she's a natural like her mom! Very cute...

The elections in America are winding down (thank God) and it seems as if Obama is in the lead by 3-6% points (if you believe the polls). In any event, by McCain's own admission he is playing catch up at this point. This seems simple, make the election from this point forward a referendum on socialism. It's clear that Obama has socialist leanings (proved by Obama's own rhetoric and his affiliations with the New Party). McCain needs to hit hard for a day or two on Redistribution of wealth being one of the tenets of socialism and tying Obama to...

So, zero disdains suburban America like the msm types so often and readily do? This shouldn't surprise anyone as he is a product of the urban mindset. The one thing that zero and his campaign are missing is that they can't win this election with just the urban vote. And with Mac, with all of his flaws, will bring out suburban voters like crazy. And, with SarahPower, we draw rural voters out like no one has since Ronaldus Magnus.

Obama got $300K of his house price when buddy Rezko bought the adjacent lot for full price. Culture of corruption? It starts at the top in the Democrat party. Stevens' bribes pale in comparison.
