For gosh sakes, the media, they always

lie, don't they? Widely reported over, over, over, over, and over again that it was people who got loans who made 14,000 a year who "qualified" for a $750,000 mortgage and when the creative financing (i.e., interest rates went up) went belly up, they couldn't even pay the interest. Those debtors didn't spend their way to prosperity.
Give me a break. It is now people who have lost their jobs who were paying their mortgages who can no longer pay their mortgages. Going to be a lot more, too.
Hats off to Barney Frank and his ilk.

For gosh sakes. I was not attributing statements
to NP. It was satire. It popped into my head. I could just picture her standing in front of a mother saying that.
Lighten up a little.
Oh, for Heaven's sakes.....you can't possibly
There are a LOT of good parents whose son/daughter couldn't control their hormones at age 17 and YOUNGER. When my children were teenagers, I couldn't follow them around all day and night. They heard me talk year after year about the consequences of having sex too early, even if they thought they had it under control. That's all I could do. I would ask where they would be, who with, and give them a time I expected them home or ELSE, but look sister, we all know things can get heated up very fast and it doesn't take but ONE time and a couple of minutes to get pregnant. I am relieved my daughter didn't find herself in that situation and I hope and pray my 20 something son won't either. He knows our feelings and we hope he acts responsibly.
Do you have children or teenagers and if so, do you follow them around all day, every minute of the day, even when you think they are where they say they are? I doubt it.
The young lady will have to deal with her decision and hopefully, her younger sisters will also learn from this.....don't go this route. That certainly doesn't mean I would give up on the mother. I do know good mothers whose daughters got pregnant and it did come as a shock, but I didn't automatically think, wow, what a terrible mother.
For goodness sakes...he's already put his foot
And I suppose you're okay with the comment he let slip out when he said "spread the wealth" when asked by a plumber how he was supposed to keep his business open with higher taxes, that he wouldn't be able to employ more people and would end up losing is business. Obama did not care at all. He very callously smirked and opening admitted he needs to "spread the wealth".
You do understand that concept? It means NO TAX CUTS FOR YOU but you will be seeing large sums of money being used to put more and more on the welfare payroll. He has disguised these at "tax credits". Well, got a news flash for ya. YOU won't be getting a tax credit but someone you know might be getting a paycheck for doing nothing at all.
Heaven sakes...I didn't mean you sounded racist
@
So you're saying the left controls the media? I thought the media produced the story.
I haven't seen or heard one thing blaming Obama's crew for this. Where can I read about the right aligning to attack the left? Where did you find this information? Or is this just your observation and opinion of things?
Speaking of the media, let's take a poll who thinks the media has run amuck sm
and which ones do you think are the most ridiculous? Fox News, NYT, AP, Wash. Post, CNN, your choice.
Really? Gosh.......
Then where to all those lesbos and homos get their biological children? Immaculate conception? But Mr. Phelps says God hates us.
Egads
oh my gosh
just take the post about Bob the Builder for what it was--amusing. Calm down. It is okay if everyone doesn't agree with you. In fact, I bet everyone DISagrees with you on something.
Oh....my.....gosh.....sm
And I thought some of the comments on this board get out of hand from time to time.
Well, ladies, I went to Youtube to see Obama's radio/video address today, and I started to read the comments....some Obama supporter (I hesitate to call him a fruitcake or nut job, for fear of retaliation)....but he is a loon....
He called someone else who left an opinion, the "c---" word....oh....my....gosh....I feel kinda dirty right about now....
I do hope that if Obama continues to post his addresses on video on youtube, that they have someone monitor the comments, or close them altogether. That type of response does no one any good, Obama supporter or nonsupporters....

My gosh...we are over it
Somehow I don't think you've come to terms with it. We all know he won. But don't presume to tell us "get behind YOUR president". I doubt you were standing behind Bush. The traitors are in the office now. The patriots like Rush Limbaugh and other republicans have a voice and it doesn't sound like many are happy that we don't want to see the country destroyed. I guess you'd rather us all sit back and enjoy the road to he!!.
Also the Declaration of Independence clearly states "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - So in your own words... "Get behind it or stand with the biggest traitors of all".
You've also don't have a keen eye for mathematics. In case you don't realize we are going to have another election in 2012. So while Obama may be the present for the next 4 years your a bit premature that he will win the next election, and at the rate he's going? You better stick to 4 rather than "assume".

Oh, gosh
some of these twits do not understand you just took a metaphor and gave it a twist. I guess they don't get out much, either. It's called sarcasm, people. Work with us here!
But gosh,
he was decrying all the pork in the stimulus package wasn't he? You don't mean he was lying???? I must have misheard what he was saying.
Gosh!
And here we all thought the correct way was: ''way more clearer.'' Wow! You write real good!
It's in several of the posts, don't you see it? OH MY GOSH!!! SM
You can't see the WORD Christian now! It was in Yepper's post, which is what I was really talking about but you really cares?
Good gosh!!!!
I don't know what to do about this election folks!!!! I'm scared of McCain..and I'm just not sure about Obama either....time is running out..
Scared of McCain because he seems to be a bit of a hot head..and Obama is scary because its almost cult like with him...
I know...research...but its just becoming too overwhelming...
I get this mental picture of terrorists licking their chops savoring the thought that USA is going to be prone for another attack..after this election just to test the resolve of the President..whoever that will be..
I worry about economics but I am more afraid of an attack within the USA...I want someone who will strike fear in our enemies...These terrorists are not the kind of people I picture sitting and discussing differences over a conference table...
Research today and see where I lean to...
Gosh darn it!
Oh, thanks for enlightening me -- I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT I KNOW GAY MEN PRODUCE SPERM. but they need an egg to produce a child (DS)!!! I feel as if I am posting in romper room here. Good grief!
Gosh darnit. There you go, sam,
For every mudball hurled by the right, there should be one hurled back in response. We learned that from the right-wing swiftboating tactics of days gone by. Obama's ads are issues oriented and are aimed at contrasting the differences between the candidates on those issues. McCain has been erratic, impulsive and basically clueless up to this point on the bail out. I see nothing wrong in pointing that out since he was the one who made himself look so stupid. Obama and others had already explored the possibility of buying up bad mortgages during the negotiations for the bailout bill before McCain announced his claim to the idea in the debate.
McCain's ads are character assignations, void of political content. They play on fear and seek to incite anger, generate hatred and ignite cultural wars, plain and simple. Obama's ads deal with issues and facts. There is a difference.
Obama said nothing about not helping homeowers, you did. Before the crisis even emerged, Obama had included plans in his economic policies to protect homeowners. He didn't flip on anything. you are just trying to misconstrue the facts to make it look like he did. This tactic will not win any elections. By the way, Obama is not the only one who thinks that the "bad lenders" should be punished. Before it's over, they should face their day in court.
I am still patiently waiting for you to elighten us all on just how McCain will "fix" the economy.
Now, gosh darnit, there you go again.
already copyrighted anal in 2000.
OH MY GOSH would you chill?
I asked you a question! That is all!
So in your line of thinking I can say whatever I want to on here and no one should be able to question me and I shouldn't have to prove a thing????
In that case...Obama is an alien from another world and Biden is too. They were sent here by their leader to take over the USA. Shortly after winning the election they plan to set off nukes to every major nation on the planet including the USA and blowing us out of the universe. But first they will round up the women and children and take them back to their home planet of Vogoron where they will be used as servants for the royal household.
It's a fact. I said so.
Gosh darn right!

Gosh darnit. There you go again.
unfounded accusations. An MT should not have to be breaking down grammatical structures to other MTs to make themselves understood, but if you insist, here goes.
"Don't follow links..." is an example of imperative (mood) sentence. In this context, the subject of the sentence is implied. You have reckoned/assumed the subject to be "You", as in a command when, in fact, the intended subject was "I", meaning "I don't follow links..." My mistake. I was exending the assumption that those who read the post had the intelligence to figure that out. Next time, I will remember that when O haters are in the audience, I have to spell everything out.
Naturally, I think O supporters are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves and free to respond in kind with their own take on the link. They don't need my help to defend their own positions and certainly don't need to be shielded from pitifully impotent propaganda. Wouldn't hold my breath on that, though. With the election winding down and the odds stacked so heavily in our favor, it is likely you will see less and less of us up here on this forum. Our work here is done.
Oh gosh, that was nothing compared
to watching my husband listen to any Democrat, ever. He turns red and interrupts constantly. Eventually I shush him and he stomps out of the room, muttering under his breath all the while. Then he's mad at me.  At least Rush is civil.
Oh my gosh. They keep calling you because of people
like me who voted as registered dems in the primary. The Bradley efffect is alive and well. Of course, only registered dems would answer their phones during the dinner hour. :) Republicans can afford voice mail.
Well, I'll be gosh danged!! s/m
I'm about 50 miles north of Fort Smith now up Highway 59, about 15 miles from Stilwell!! You'll have to let me know if you get back here and maybe we can get together.
Yes, Wal-Mart is good for the economy in NW Arkansas, I'll admit to that but their workers aren't treated anywhere near as well as when Sam was alive. Most as I understand it get food stamps and Medicaid and Wal-Mart gets all kinds of concessions in order to get them to build stores that most certainly aren't available to small businesses. They effectively make it near impossible for small businesses to stay in business. There's rumors that they're going to build a store in my area and the local grocery store said if that happens they will be out of business. The reason isn't prices, it's the small guy can't carry all the stuff Wal-Mart carries. He can and will special order, which he does for me all the time, but most people want everything NOW.
Gosh: Hukabee had a special on TV
I'm sorry I missed it because I as out when his program was on. I saw the tail end. I'm sure it was interesting. If anyone knows of a link or something I can go to to see his whole program, please post a link. I'd really like to see what it was all about.
Gosh, why don't you read the post
No one said assassination attempts do not occur. Try reading the post again slowly and sound out the big words.
My gosh - it's like being back in kindergarten
My niece and nephews have better manners.
It's been awhile since I wrote that, so thanks for the reply.
I dont want to make fun of him, but gosh, he did

Oh my gosh... let's call out the guard!!
Found this on a web site reporting tea party in front of the white house yesterday....
"Protesters even threw what appeared to be a box of tea bags toward the White House, causing a brief lockdown at the compound."
Gosh, I've always been quite proud
of my hazel eyes. Sure, I was born with that color, can't take credit for them, but still I think they're much nicer than, say, blue or brown eyes. I'm also pretty pumped about my great vision and hearing.
Gosh, this site might not be safe since you have IP information!!!
how does it feel?
well, gosh darm it, that makes me so happy
Gee whiz.
My gosh!, it was a far left loon replacing
not give her a chance to say a word! Good for her for walking out!! Bet Sean was patting her on the back.
Gosh, you've lost me on this, please fill me in.
Dont know about the 1600 or what this is reference to. Thanks.
Oh my gosh - the Clinton years were the worst
I have never seen such horrible horrible times as the Clinton years. It was awful, awful, awful. DH and I both worked full time. We both had excellent salaries but we could never get ahead. We didn't live life in the rich lane - a 1 bedroom apartment (no washer dryer) in a hole-in-the-wall complex. A Ford Taurus (so not a fancy car). I don't own any diamonds or furs and my clothes were bought at the local Walmart, Sears or stores like that. No children, no college education to pay off and we had absolutely nothing. Clinton's tax increases raised our taxes so high that we were paying out 38% in taxes and even then at the end of the year we always owed an extra $2000. Everyone kept telling us to buy a house and get all these great "benees". In SF? Right! We couldn't afford to go out to eat never mind buy a house and when we did try to apply for a loan we were turned down. On top of that my family and friends back east were losing their jobs (thank you NAFTA). Family freinds were losing their homes because they lost their jobs and they were starting to live in their cars. My dad took in a couple he knew because they were living in a campground and winter came and it got too cold to stay in their tent. It wasn't until Clinton got out of office that our taxes went down, we were able to save some money, get a better place to live, and go out to eat with family and start to enjoy life a little more. The economy may be bad now, but we're in better shape than we were when Clinton's were in. Now we're terrified we're going to be back into the same exact sitaution. We're certainly not in great shape here, so anything worse would put us in a bad situation but luckily we rent so can move if we have to. But the economy needs a lof of work. We have no health insurance (unless you want to call having a policy that you have to pay 10K/year first before the insurance company will pitch in), DH is out of work and we just take one day at a time. All I know is most everyone I know (family, friends, and acquantances of my family) say they may have thought Clinton to be a good looking guy, but they have been better off financially since he left office.
My gosh--stop the personal bashing...
I thought liberals fancied themselves empathetic and thought conservatives were the hate mongers!

I think the media....
often creates more questions and issues than politics in general. I think all politicians are crooks and only out to line their own pockets with money, as evident by all the promises made during election year that never came into play during their actual term.
I go through spurts. I get mad and then I stop watching and then I calm down and I start watching again and then I get mad again. It is a vicious cycle. 
Media
not going to be timid this election about the deceptive way the RNC wants to paint them as liberal and pro-Obama.. They are openly discussing it as a divisive tactic that has been used over and over by the RNC. Chris Matthews heatedly faced down Pat Buchanan last night over Pat's attempt to be Mr. Women's Rights regarding SP. Chris noted that with this election, no one is supposed to look into McC or SP's activities or views. If the media rightly investigates McC, they throw up the POW story. With Palin, it is going to be Sexist story. The media's job is to bring us information so we can decide. Free press is essential to our country. For this reason we must tolerate all extremes of opinion, as we must on this board. See MediaMatters.org for facts on media misstatements.
The media is doing its best
to make sure Obama is elected. It is sickening how one-sided they all are, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. They totally overlook anything that might reflect negatively on Obama/Biden, and jump with glee on anything having to do with McCain/Palin. What that CNN reporter did to Palin was a disgrace.
I wish I could believe everything the media
I have family that live in Arizona and Texas who are democrats. They said it was a known fact that illegals were voting left and right, all with fake SS#s and fake IDs. It hasn't been a secret that illegals are acquiring fake SS#s.
One family member, who runs a large company out there, said he stood in line with many he knew were illegal while he watched them vote and pull out so-called IDs. He knew some of the companies (through the grapevine) some of these illegals work for and knew they were hiring illegals and yet there they stood, voting as if they had the right. Even standing in line bragging about how Obama would help their families. It's not a secret if you live in these areas where you see it happening all the time. Now, if you want to believe all the hundreds of thousands of illegals voting were somehow "legal" that's your business, but I do transcription every day from Texas with doctors questioning how a patient got on disability when they aren't even legal residents of this country, so it's no surprise to me how O got in there. Factor in all the illegals in California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and it was a done deal.
Media would be ALL over it if
--
when it happens, the media has been sm
all over it! I don't know where you have been. Do I need to send you examples? My goodness they have even taken some of the more publicized cases and made movies out of them.
Open your eyes!
Considering that the media
is so liberally biased....I'm sure there is a lot that we aren't being told the truth about.
Treating captive terrorists like dinner guests will not make them like us. It will not stop attempts on American lives by terrorists. All that will accomplish is letting them know that they can blow us up and kill thousands of Americans and all they have to do is sit in a prison until released and that is all they get out of it.
Terrorists that we have released from Gitmo have gone right back. We didn't waterboard them. They were released and joined back up with their terrorist pals again. Gee....I guess they sure learned their lesson, huh? Another free terrorist who can come back again and try to kill more Americans in the name of Allah.
It seriously amazes me how you people defend these guys.
Actually, the way I am reading it is the media is DOING it. SM
Looking for some dirt. That's the way I read the article. Time will tell I guess.
Did the media jump all over...
the horrible HORRIBLE things that Charlie Rangel said about Bush the other day. Only O'Reilly. The rest of the media has given it a pass, as usual.
It's clearly the LIBERAL media
It's okay to trash Clinton but don't touch St. Ronnie. Besides, the producer is a friend of Rush,
so clearly it's fact based....uh huh.
