I did not intentionally call Obama "it." I'm not sure why I typed "it"
but I certainly meant "he."
"it should never have
happened" . . . deep, real deep.
I'm afraid we will find out all too soon what "it" is.
I don't think "it" is what all his loyal supporters think "it" is.
"It's all Jed Clampett's fault"...sm
In an exclusive interview granted today to the mass media at a press conference, the 87-year-old Beverly Hills banker, Mr. Drysdale, reveals to the world the real reason behind the oil crisis and the state of our economy today.
"It was all Jed Clampett's fault," said Mr. Drysdale in the crackling voice of a man who has lived under the stress of keeping a secret for 40 years. "Had he not sold his oil to foreign interests at an obsene amount of money, we would have had enough oil to run this country for the next 200 years."
When pressed for further details regarding the state of the overall economic picture of the country and the government's failing coffers, Drysdale replied, "Mr. Clampett, despite my urging, refused to pay income tax on the money he received for his oil sale to foreign countries. Instead, he deposited a pittance in my bank and the rest in overseas bank accounts with untracable numbers."
"What Mr. Drysdale says is true," confirms Miss Jane Hathaway, his secretary for over 40 years as she pounds on dusty old ledgers that she said had been locked away in an undisclosed location for these past 40 years. "The proof is all right here. The CIA and FBI had these sealed until after the passing of Mr. Clampett and the subsequent 'disappearance' of Jethro and Ellie Mae along with all the money."
Critics are saying that Drysdale has come forward only out of bitterness that his Beverly Hills bank was not one of the ones bailed out, even though it was at the top of the list for aid from the federal government and that Miss Hathaway is just harboring ill feelings toward Jethro for never having married her.
Sorry that don't cut it and as they say "it aint gonna fly"
Blaming Bush for the trillions that the O is spending??? Excuse me, but the O way outdid anything Bush did in 8 years, it took the O less than 90 days to make it triple worse. You didn't like that Bush spent money, but your okay with the O spending triple the deficit Bush had????? That is not Bush's fault and sorry but that "aint gonna fly".
No they are not trying to "frantically keep us from another great depression". How does giving money to CEO/executives, authorizing millions upon millions in bonuses (then trying to take it back when they hear Americans are not happy - they (the crats) are the ones who authorized it to begin with). Then there is bailing out companies and not enforcing them to use the money to help the company but instead they pocket it and ask for another bailout and they give it to them again, and saying we're giving money to the American banks but instead having it go oversees to bail out other countries banks, and letting our jobs go overseas and telling the people that they are giving the jobs to "oh well those are jobs that Americans don't want anyway". How does drafting kids 18-24, bowing to the S.A. King then lying to us about it, telling other country we are not a great country, but Americans are selfish and irresponsible (among other things he has said), and the other things he has done to destroy our country and who knows what he has told our enemies about us. Not to mention the lies he told us during the campaign like how he was going to pull the troops home, but instead he is sending more to war (a war that he said was "unjust"), how he was going to not increases taxes for people making under 250K, I mean 200K, I mean 175K, I mean 150K. Then we have the FM/FM situation which was caused by the crats in the congress (B. Franks, C. Dodd, etc) and they are the ones who benefited the most, along with your lord the anointed one, which by the way began long before Bush got in there. It started in the Clinton presidency. Lets see...there was how he was going get rid of the patriot act, yet he signed it and it's even worse than when Bush was in. How he was going to tax only the 1% wealthiest, yet my taxes are going up (and I'm by far no where near $150K mark) along with other people who are making around what I make, yet his wealthiest few friends (those 1%) are not paying taxes, and his cabinet is filled with people who don't pay their taxes but that's okay, and he promises change but he fills his cabinet with left-wing Clintonites (no change there). The only changes we the people are seeing are more companies laying off, more people losing houses, more jobs going overseas, etc, etc. He boasted of being the only one to be able to bring the two party's together (you know that nonpartisonship thing), yet there is no equality. He has chosen what...2 or 3 republicans in his cabinet (and yet they vote more democrat than republican). The rest are crat stooges that don't know what they are doing. Uh, tell me, how is all that going to keep us from a depression. And sorry you don't get to use the "This is all Bush's fault" excuse. That aint gonna fly anymore. You cannot blame Bush for the depression the messiah is putting us in. I'm hoping next time the idjits will remember the damage the anointed one and the crats are doing to destroy our country and vote sensibly. I'm hoping a third party will emerge from all this destruction and work for the people. There is no difference between the crat/pubs they all work for themselves. We need real leaders who will work for the people of the country, get us out of this recession/depression, re-establish our once was great nation, and restore credibility to our country. It's not in either parties that are currently in there that's for sure. So, once again, sorry, but the "It's all Bush's fault" is lame and not true. This is all the anointed one's fault and nobody can take that away from him. He didn't have to do this. He could have said no, but he didn't. He could have said I'm going to live up to my campaign promises of transparency and no pork in the spending bill. I need time to read through this. I'm going to get some top economists on this and look it over and get some advice from them. No instead he listens to unqualified people who are only out for themselves. So, sorry but no you don't get to use the "it's all Bush's fault" excuse anymore.
I just get tired of hearing "It's my body, I can
do what I want to with it." I had a second child totally unplanned for and totally not expected (my first only being 7 months old when I got pregnant), but the thought of abortion never crossed my mind. That baby was a human being, not just a fetus to me. That child is now 26 years old and expecting her first child. She has brought so much joy into my life that I can't even bear to think what it would be without her. Had I chosen to abort her, I would have missed one of the greatest blessings I had ever been given. It wasn't just my body that was involved. The only choice I made was taking the risk for an unwanted pregnancy. If I didn't want to be pregnant, I probably should have been more careful. Now, I'm so happy that I wasn't very careful. She is a beautiful young woman that I treasure dearly. 
Correction of typo - "It" happened.
Right, it'll be "it's Bush's fault" for at least the next two years. I wonder when O
and his own white house. I'm fearing he won't. It will be "Bush's fault" for a long, long time to come.
Marmann's just proved it.
"it tells me to love them as I would love myself"...(sm)
This must be why you so obviously love Muslims? 
You do realize that you contradict yourself on just about every other post you make? ROFL..

Big Enormous Sigh.....whatever
yes, sigh
Yeah..sigh..***heart feeling heavy, soul feeling so heavy***, knowing we cant bring our soldiers back who have died for nothing..***my whole being feeling so heavy***.

Too bad for you that you are so closed minded..sigh..I pray for you.
Sigh.... I know...
I hope it's something my grandchildren will be able to experience.
Sigh....
Wow, seems like I turned on your spigot of liberal hate.
Yes, I was trying to type doesn't (does not). For some reason, when I type an apostrophe it won't post half of the time hardly justifying the sermon you just preached to me.
You are a mean, hateful person, and I hope you find something more joyful to do than obsess about our president.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU...
Sigh....
Yes I know Rx drugs for pain are dispensed for pain and if one takes them as prescribed, one does not get a buzz. The medication acts as it was designed to act. If, however, the person begins to self medicate for whatever reasons, i.e. taking more than prescribed dosage for said pain, soon he will be feeling no pain, that is for sure. Soon he will be feeling good, so good in fact that he will continue on this course for as long as it works out for him. I will never agree that anyone and I mean ANYONE who becomes addicted to any substance did not have a choice in the matter. There comes a time when the addict has no more choices, but that comes much later in the disease process. They will tell you they didn't, they will lie, they will deny and be in denial...that is what addicts do...This is not a case of **when bad things happen to good people.** I disagree and I believe you are simplfying things when you try to separate the addicts based on the course of how they got there.
What in the world makes you think I am obsessed with politics. I don't come on this board for weeks at a time. I have become increasingly frightened these last 6 years as I have watched our country change for the worse but I am not obsessed wtih politics.
My gratitude list, they are all on it...the right-wing screamers that is. You don't get it??? It works for me and that is all that matters because it is my list.
I appreciate prayers from anyone anytime so you guys go right on ahead and pray for me. I would never turn away prayer. Thanks.
I have gone to a **dark place.** YIKES, and I didn't even know it. You have a sore spot about abortion, stem cells, etc., for personal reasons. I have a sore spot about addiction and do not appreciate being told I don't know anything about it and that is for my own personal reasons. What is the difference.
And last but not least, none of what this thread has become from my standpoint anyway had anything to do with stem cells. It could have been any personality promoting any politician for any reason. My point is, was and always has been that Rush blew it big time on this. He was cruel and ugly. He did apologize and it should have stopped there, but as I understand it, he has carried on about MJF every day since (something I read, did not hear it from Rush himself as, if you will recall, I don't listen to him). I am done with this thread. I have ended up talking about things I did not intend to talk about. That happens a lot here, getting off track. So, I stand by what I said. Rush behaved badly and addicts have choices. The end. Aho.
sigh....
I appreciate the time spent on your reply but unfortunately you are not seeing the big picture here. I am quite certain there are countries on this planet whose history does not contain genocides or atrocities, there are several that come to mind. However, that is most certainly NOT what I was referring to. As I said, literal micro-analysis was not the point of my posting.
Sigh....
My friend, my faith has NEVER been in politics. If you will read my posts I have begged people to look at this situation as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans. I have said I don't know HOW many times that right or left up or down liberal or conservative does not matter. Radical Islam hates us ALL equally. And the fact that you and other liberals just pooh-pooh that idea, after what happened on 9-11...boggles the mind. And then, of all things, try to say that whatever happens is God's will. What MT said was correct....God gave us free will and we need to realize how far reaching our actions or inactions are. If there had been more action during Clinton's 8 years against terrorism and not Ms Lewinsky's black dress and cigars, we would be a long way down the road to safety. But he chose inaction, which paved the way for 9-11. Pardon me if I do not want to see the same thing happen again...because no telling what liberal inaction will bring us to the next time. And it has absolutely nothing to do with God's will and everything to do with man's.
sigh...
Did you think that those folks would behave as adults? They are bullying children, after all. You were set up to be mocked and chastised.
Y'know, Teddy, I don't think Lurker needs you to champion her. While I do think she is an intelligent person and gives much thought to her posts and limits personal attacks, which is to her credit, I cannot say the same for you Ms. butt-in-chair use-of-defecation as an adjective....
I do have to say, though, that your posts for the most part have been an eloquent and ethical plea for a more humane world.
Once again, I BEG of you, talk to the terrorists and stop preaching to the choir!
I would think that anyone, no matter their personal ideology, would have been moved, even inspired, to ponder a different manner of viewing our world and our role in it.
When have YOU done that, Teddy? When have you ever viewed the world from a position other than yours? Stop quoting OTHER people and say something ORIGINAL.
This all reminds me of trying to argue/debate with my mother who was a borderline personality (a mental disorder). It's hopeless. You cannot have a straightforward discussion/debate/argument with someone for whom the bounds of reality are constantly shifting as their logic will never be grounded in sane reasoning.
You just described yourself, dear. Do you not read your own posts? Slam your mother on a public board...yep, that tells me a lot about the content of YOUR character.
Sigh...
"The Republican Congress..." Check the yay and nay vote. The Republicans alone could not do it. There are many, MANY Democrat names on it. Otherwise it would not have passed. Even the most partisan should be able to grasp that. That is the basis of democracy...majority rules. And the Republicans could not have passed it without democratic support. Just could not have happened. So like it or not...BOTH sides responsible for the war.
As to the grossly inaccurate information...if the Senate Intelligence Committee (ahem) bought the same inaccurate evidence the President did, and reported such to the Senate...why do I not see the same degree of disdain for them? They somehow are allowed to be fooled and Bush isn't? Would these same things be being said if the President in question was a Democrat? The answer to that is no.
I did not bring up Somalia, but my husband was there and saw that debacle first hand. Don't even get me started on Clinton and Somalia. He cut and ran there and if he had not, AL Qaeda would not be nearly as strong as it is today. By the same token...if Clinton had taken the Sudan up on their offer, bin Laden would have been in an American jail, not plotting 9-11. Even he has said himself that was his biggest mistake. Gee, Bill, ya think?? But I don't hate Bill Clinton or demonize him.
There is plenty of blame to go around on BOTH sides for most things. Trouble is, most folks look at the issue through blinders...can only see one side.
As I stated on the list of books...written for money by Bush haters for other Bush haters. No interest in the truth.
Democrats launched the protests? I would love to see how that idea is supported. From what I remember, my bet is most of them were not registered and never voted. Did someone card them and I missed that?
LOL. I did not say Clinton invented regime change. All I said was he was on board for it. And Richard Clarke was on board for it when his guy was in office. Bush's BIGGEST mistake was not cleaning house after Clinton left. He kept Clarke and Tenet on. He took their advice. They both at first stood behind the "lying" intelligence. The head of the CIA no less. So please....just let the old "lie" thing die. No body lied.....well with the exception of Tenet and Clarke, because they had been on both sides of the issue, depending on who was their "boss" at the time. Or, as I guess they call in politics now....flip-flopped. Yeah, flip-flopped....like a beached whale.
And my friend...the buck for going to war stops at Congress. All the Democrats and Republicans who voted for it. And if you will check the roll vote...a good many Democrats DID vote for it. Otherwise it would not have passed. Sheesh.

John McCain did not invent outsourcing. You need to do some research on Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. China and INDIA were big projects for them. You know..INDIA. Where most of our jobs went.
McCain renegotiated a big defense contract that went to an overseas division of an American company so that the actual work would have to be done in the American division...created thousands of jobs on our side of the water.
Without free trade there are no overseas markets for goods manufactured in this country, and a lot of Americans will lose their jobs. But it is okay to lose THOSE jobs?
sigh...
You aren't going to change my mind, I'm not going to change yours. But, as I said before, I don't think Obama is running around killing babies yet, and I don't think he is going to. I think McCain supporters are getting a little anxious right now, so they have to try bring up crazy crap in hopes of swaying people their way.
Sigh....

and the stories of a half a century ago keep coming..sigh..shall I post ALL THE CRAP that Bush and his family have been involved in? Like the stripper who had an abortion and later was murdered in Texas..she was involved with GW..do we need to post the sins and horrors of our politicians..it would fill this board big time..Now, get along little fool, get along and run on back to the conservative board so you all can rip liberals apart and pat each other on the back about what good xtians you are..NOT..
Sigh....you have condescenion down pat....
for this obviously inferior of intellect Native American, please to explain what the point of your post was?
Sigh..........sighhhhhhhh......
If you read the whole thread, I told Teddy and I will tell you...I was being facetious. I am sorry if you do not know it when you read it. And yes, Teddy did most certainly talk down to me, even more once I told Teddy that I was of native american descent. the first post Teddy made had nothing to do with my post anyway. But once the post was up there, I dissented and wanted to discuss. All Teddy did, which many liberals have done to me and others on this board(and this is not a bash, it is an observation), is never answer the questions asked of them and instead talk down(*I appreciate the time spent on your reply but unfortunately you are not seeing the big picture here. I am quite certain there are countries on this planet whose history does not contain genocides or atrocities, there are several that come to mind. However, that is most certainly NOT what I was referring to. As I said, literal micro-analysis was not the point of my posting.*) When I asked her to please enlighten this poor native american of lesser intellect (being facetious because of her pompous talking down post), I get this answer: *You have the nasty cliches down pat, but I generally tend to avoid cliches, as I generally avoid using the racial/ethnic I'm being picked on because of my race/country of origin/gender/you name it cliche also but I'll make an exception in your case.* I made no nasty cliche. And she did not answer my question, again. But another condescending post: *You don't seem to realize there's a written record of all your posts for folks to review. Many of your posts with other folks are quite strange and don't seem to make much sense.* And never DID answer my question. And no matter how much you deny it, it happens quite regularly. I ask a question, ask for clarification, and I get condescension and no answer. To me, the simple thing to do, if you don't have the answer, is just say so or answer the question without all the condescending rhetoric. There is no need to personalize it. Why can't there just be civil debate? And why do I keep asking that question when I know the answer....but it doesn't matter, because you aren't going to read this anyway.
Let me try this one more time...sigh...
you totally missed the point, and I think that Jesus would think it was very hypocritical of this country who murders babies at the tune of millions per year to be so wound up and gung ho about freebie health insurance for the kids who manage to survive. I believe THAT, my friend, is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy!! Kill'em before they are born, that's fine, but when they get here free health care. Pot calling the kettle black.
And, frankly, if a parent has not cared enough about his/her children to provide them with health care, giving them a freebie is not going to help. The program already covered families up to the level of family of 4, 80K. Why on earth expand it? Give those people tax cuts so they get some of the premiums back, but don't reward irresponsibility by saying here, take it, its free. Let's reward responsibility for a change and try to get people OFF programs, not ON them.
I would like to see the figures, the numbers of children who suffer and die because their parents could not/would not give them insurance. With all the access to health care for a child with insurance or not...sorry, I don't believe it.
I doubt you would believe it if YOU saw it. Sigh.
And just because you say it ISN'T so, doesn't make it NOT so, either. :-)
Better to kill it....?? sigh. nm

I guess this is just the way things are.
(sigh....) It's still the same 5 or so people
 (Poor little smiley-face....he died of BOREDOM.)
Sigh. Trouble is, if they get what they ask for....
we all get it. Like I said...at least I can take comfort in the fact that I will have had nothing to do with the demise of freedom in this country as we know it. This whole thing with Joe really brought that home in a BIG way. Civil rights down the tubes.
Sigh. They better not protest too much....
or the Obama faithful background check squad will be after them. They better quit putting their garbage out by the street or people will be going through it.
The degree of control these people want to exert BEFORE they have real power is bad enough. THink what it will be like when and IF they do....
Godspeed John McCain to the White House.
As do you, my dear. As do you.
I apologize if my references zoom past you. I must remember not to do that.
EXPLANATION: "Like bedbugs at a cheap motel" is a very common allusion to things that exist in profusion (in this case, the ethical problems). Cheap motels have lots of bedbugs. It has no pejorative connotations.
Get it now?
Bye Bye Miss American Pie..sigh..
Hi, Anon!! :o)
I warned my republican friends..YIPES?? I have republican friends? Yes, and three of them now have told me the war was wrong and Bush is frightening.
Anyway, I warned my republican friends and everyone else that if Bush got in office the first time, the country would change drastically and he would destroy America and the world (okay maybe that was a little over the top..but not really)..I see us women going back to being bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen and the men coming home in loin cloths and billy clubs (umm..well, maybe that might be nice.smile)..
sorry...dependence, not dependance...sigh....lol nm
