There's that pesky double standard again.....nm

How about that pesky Jennifer Brunner?
challenge aimed at suppressing 250,000 new voter registrations in Ohio that would favor republicans.
You don't remember those pesky crusades, do you? NM

and that pesky democratic congress...funny, how you forget...
Yep, you're right....it was probably that pesky "sm" poster typed in wrong....my bad.

Yeah, it's that pesky TRUTH raising its ugly head again, huh?

What paper?
?
Yes, I am all for a paper trail...

Paper Money
Thanks for that. It's really simple when someone's not trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
And since it was all paper money, it enabled Wall Street money managers and banks to look good on their quarterly reports and collect obscene bonuses on worthless derivatives that were passed around from crook to crook, while they all knew the bubble would burst sooner or later.
WSJ is a conservative paper, NYT is liberal. nm

You only seem to understand numbers on paper,
live in the real world? Don't you see, hear and read about this and other issues every single day?
What would be the point in producing a numbers, especially to you? Numbers can be tweeked and skewed to produce whatever result you want them to. (Not unlike the words in the Bible, or the Quran, for that matter).
You know EXACTLY what I and others on this board are talking about when we present our views on the issues, and your constant response, 'Show me the numbers', has gotten a little too repetitive to have much in the way of value.
Booming on paper and speculation....
Robbing Hood and his merry pranksters raped our country - denial is deceptive.
Don't you read the paper or watch TV?
It is a fact. You need to remove the rose-colored glasses so that you can see clearly.
The Clinton prosperity was all on paper, hence the dot.com bust and

These are not allegations....the paper trail, media
talks about these things. You have not investigated a darn thing. You just sit there and refuse to see anything you don't want to see.
my paper said highest number in 14 years - who was in charge then?

I do believe Savage in this case, cuz announcements in the paper are the same way in my local area..
Where did I say anything else, I was just commenting on the announcement in the paper. GEESH.
Maybe they should use corn cobs for toilet paper to meet your fiscal requirements, eh?

GOP Challenger to Sen. Clinton Quits Race
By Chris Cillizza Special to The Washington Post
Thursday, December 22, 2005; Page A05
Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro (R) ended her campaign against New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday, bringing to a close a brief and decidedly rocky attempt to unseat perhaps the country's most famous Democratic officeholder.
Even as she announced she would shutter her campaign against Clinton, Pirro jumped into the state attorney general's contest. A recent independent poll showed her trailing the two Democrats seeking that office.
In a statement released by her campaign, Pirro said her law enforcement background better qualifies me for a race for New York State Attorney General than a race for the United States Senate.
Pirro's exit leaves the Republicans adrift for now, with only two obscure candidates vying for the nomination: former Yonkers mayor John Spencer and tax lawyer William Brenner.
From the start of Pirro's Senate campaign in mid-August, she was beset by questions about her fundraising ability and readiness for such a high-profile contest.
Pirro is the second Republican to drop a bid against Clinton, who is seeking a second Senate term next November. New York City lawyer Ed Cox, the son-in-law of President Richard M. Nixon, left the contest Oct. 16 when New York Gov. George E. Pataki (R) announced his support for Pirro.
We know at some point the Republicans will sort out this process and choose a nominee, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said.

Again, it is a piece of jewelry
I just don't get it.
And C. Matthews is one sorry piece of
He is definitely being paid by the DNC and paid well. He is trash.
No need to freak out over BBC piece.
That is was an opinion piece? Also, check out the author. Peter Wehner, former deputy assistant to George Bush. The main trust of the article is Iraq and foreign policy. It comes as no suprise that BBC would publish BOTH sides to the election story and especially when it comes to posting opinions that would appeal to a certain segment of their own population. England. Part of the original coalition. They lost soldiers in Iraq just like we did. Also, they have a rather impressive history of imperialial colonialism and I have no doubt that conservative viewpoints such as this have appeal to some of the stodgier among them.
CNN hit piece on Tea Party sm
At nearly 2 minutes into this clip, listen to this woman let CNN toady Susan Roesgen have it. She is brilliant.

What do you know about me? What an arrogant piece of work you are.
Guess what, we went to school and work our butts off and pay for everything we have. We're not rich either. But I don't hold disdain for those who made it bigger than I. It's a free country.
I posted the Chickenhawk piece.
The author is in the very last line. I got it from his website.
Lovely piece of garbage.
Thanks for the confirmation. Here ladies and gentlemen is a classic example of bureaucratic professional. Where does it show that he has military experience, field experience? In essence by placing this post, you're saying that because he is highly educated (and that doesn't necessarily transpose to the highly intelligent), afforded certain posts in government, that is all that is required to take over and manage a country under insurgency? Hum....
So Armitage's principles weren't good enough for you?
Of course you take things at face value. I don't think you have asked a valid question yet. If you didn't take things at face value, I believe you would have more questions. But it seems that all you have are answers. Another hum....Perhaps, it is just a matter of who's face you're looking at isn't it?
Now, you go and have a nice day!
She's a real piece of work that one

Read it again. It is an opinion piece...
written by a black minister. He is entitled to his opinion and I don't believe has been called a discredited liar. This has nothing to do with the McCain camp. You might want to actually read a post before the drive-by "They're all liars" campaign strategy.
And y'now, Obama is not in ANY position to call anyone else a liar. He lied about his vote on giving medical care to babies who survive abortion. He voted against it. He actually voted that the child should be left to die. He then said if a bill had come to the floor that was worded like the federal bill he would have voted for it. Such a bill DID go to the floor of the Illinois state senate and he voted against it. It is a matter of public record. He voted against the bill to save babies who survived abortion TWICE...basically said deny them care and let them die. He is so invested in abortion rights that he would not vote for common human decency in case it might affect abortion rights. That is sick, sick, SICK. Basically his campaign has owned up to the fact that he was untruthful. So I would not be posting calling the other side liars...
Do you have anything but an opinion piece to substantiate this?
?
NYTimes = liberal hit piece...no thanks

Excellent piece and funny too. nm

There seems to be a piece of logic that has escaped you.
Hawaii DOES hold the authentic after all? Wouldn't that simply confirm that he was born in Hawaii?
After reading the piece of trash lurking behind your link, my head was spinning as I attempted to count how many times Andy the anti-Obama lunatic Martin referred to "I", "mine", and "my" in his statement. Do you not recognize a megalomaniac in the midst of trying to justify his frivolous lawsuit and vindicate his own delusions of grandeur in his claims being the smartest attorney on the face of the earth?
This is the same guy who is trying to assert that Frank Marshall Davis is the REAL biological father of Obama. You expecting to see that on on the "real, typewritten, long version" of the secret Hawaiian BC? If that were the case, then what was Obama Sr's visit with Obama all about? How about the Kenyan grandmother and brother who fringe pubs falsely claim witnessed his birth in Kenya? So Aunti Zeituni isn't REALLY his Aunti Zeituni after all? She's yesterday's news, now that you have conjured up another, more desperate smear?
Your hate machine is imploding all over itself under the weight of its own lies. If you don't get a grip on yourself, the next legal action down the pipe just may be your own state commitment papers.
This is an opinion piece from a graduate of
Will not be accepting this as gospel without further resarch and investigation. My gut's telling me somebody somewhere is trying to serve a partisan agenda. Pardon me while I go check a few facts, read the bill for myself and get a few more viewpoints before buying into this hook, line and sinker.
That piece didn't look like it was meant as comedy.
If it was, I apologize. I guess I totally missed it. Must be my weak mind. 
a bold, fresh piece of opinion
Karl Rove - too smart by half. He came up with the brillant idea to aid the corporate republicans by manipulating the low-information voters who live their lives by unexamined slogans, prejudices, and fear-based principles. This worked for a while -- as shown by not only the election but the REelection of George W. However, he did not anticipate that this large, unruly group would actually take over the republican party and elevate the unexceptional -- i.e, Sara Palin and Joe the Plumber, to hero status. Their thinking being, "I are smart enough to run this here country, so why not Sara Palin - she are one like me!" Just imagine -- I savor this image - the faces of the corporate repubs - Mitten Romney, Rudy-the-911, George HR, etc., when they realized that the group they wished to control to do their bidding against their very own self interests had coopted the party!! I love it.
She's a real piece of work - see message
Being in the military, when we talked to subordinates we called them by their title (SGT Smith, Private Smith, etc). When we talked to our superiors we addressed them as sir or ma'am. Sir and ma'am are signs of respect.
So not only is she arrogant, but she is ignorant too.
The general I believe had several options (replies) here are some:
1. "Excuse me, I didn't really hear you say that, did I?"
2. "Sir and ma'am are titles we use as a sign of respect. If you don't want me to respect you fine, Ms. Boxer".
3. "I am a General in the United States military. You will not tell me what and what not to call you".
4. "This is not why I'm here. You really need to play your power-hungry games on others, but don't waste my time".
5. "Where is your boss. You evidently need to be removed if you believe your title is more important than the reason I am here answering these questions".
6. "Okay, Senator Twottyface".
Or better yet he should have stood up and said to the board members. I will be back to answer your questions when you have someone competent to ask them.
She is just rude and ignorant and her boss should have called her aside and reprimanded her for being so stoopid and making them look like a bunch of idiots. I too have no idea how she keeps getting voted. She needs to be at the top to get fired too.
He has shown a short-form fraud piece of garbage. I

Well, actually, the constitution says war
Congress did NOT declare war.....Bush started a war but did not declare war...He got around that by saying we were going in because of other things and would be out quickly but, of course, it was a war and we are definitely not out. Not one candidate has the guts to say they would be pulled immediately except for Ron Paul.
The constitution has very little to do with it,
.
Constitution? (sm)
Isn't that the huge red, white and blue monster that Bush slayed with his shining Patriot Act sword? I thought it was dead.
1. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution
makes treaties into which the U.S. has entered the supreme Law of the Land. The United States is a signatory to the U.N. Charter, and under the UN Charter, there is no clear legal authority for war on Iraq. Accordingly, if the war violates international law then it also thereby violates U.S. law.
2. While the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, Congress alone has the power to declare war.
Oh, pul-eeeze. The Constitution says nothing about it
basically no rights at all.
Okay, so let's say you, as a pro-lifer-person, talk with some woman into having a child she didn't plan, doesn't want, can't afford, will get her kicked out of her house, or whatever. So she has it. Then what? Do you just go on your merry way forever after, or are you prepared to take some responsibility for having meddled in this hypothetical woman's private affairs, and help to raise, get medical care for, and educate this child?
74.19% McCain, 70.97 with the Constitution....
party candidate. In the single digits with Obama.
You think our Constitution's adherence
is grasping at straws? I think you lost your grasp on reality. If he has nothing to hide, what's the big deal? See, this is what people do when they don't want to own up to something, is bury it in our complicated justice system.
Besides, the attorney who filed this lawsuit is a lifelong DEMOCRAT. Hard to swallow, I know, but follow it with some of your Obama Koolaid and it'll all feel better.
What a dimwit...the constitution has EVERYTHING
least it did until freeloaders and jackasses got ahold of it and have turned it into a joke almost.
Gun Rights Per the Constitution
I posted this, but didn't see it, so I'm posting it again.
Gun Rights per the Constitution [2008-10-29]
Subject: Gun Rights per the Constitution Can anyone HONESTLY condone this? I'd also like to know who told him he can decide who to take money from and give to another. For those of you making $50K (for example), don't get ticked when possibly half of it goes to an MT who makes $25. That's his plan, and don't try to deny it. Once you go down this road it's basically impossible to turn back. Look at Cuba and Venezuela, for examples. http://www.rense.com/general83/obmaa.htm They will be trying to come for our guns
There's always the Constitution Party....sm
Chuck Baldwin is their candidate. I really like his platform as he is very conservative and has some really good ideas. Unfortunately, I doubt there is much chance he will win, but if feeling good about your vote is important to you, then check him out.

You think the constitution should be amended?????
That is treason. You have no right to change our constitution.
You think it's logic to change it just so you get what you want?
You need to let it go.
Read the Constitution lately?
Do you embody the philosophy and beliefs of every single person you have ever encountered in your life time? I spent 50 years of my life listening to a staunch Goldwater republican preach her sermons to me, sometimes on a daily basis. This was my own mother. Not an ounce of it rubbed off on me.
It is not shocking or disturbing to me in the least that Rev Wright, who grew up in the midst of the 60s turmoil, embraces this world view. My understanding of Obama's relation to him and to the community outreach programs of Trinity Church is different than yours. I find Rev Wright's "extremism" no different than the extremism that comes pouring out of the evangelical Christian Right. If they are to be tolerated, then so is he. It's called inclusion and it is what America aspires toward.
Throughout his lifetime, Obama has demonstrated the capacity to LISTEN to opposing viewpoints, analyze them and put them into proper perspective. This is a quality that I admire in a candidate who seeks to bring unity among us. The first step toward accomplishing that is the ability to examine ALL viewpoints, to identify common threads that each share with one another, create policy on centrist positions that involve compromise on the part of the exteme factions and to promote those policies for the common good of all Americans. That is what putting country first is REALLY all about.
Good luck will selling that idea that the notion of equality for all is a socialist precept.
