In Reply to: You obviously don't watch Fox. Or are you just talking - about the plethora of liberals that they invite on
CNN pays for ad time during O'Reilly's show. That just cracks me up.
Fox Rocks. Even CNN knows that. They're desperately trying to attract a few viewers by advertising during the Fox lineup.

your bad leader is anothers good leader
There are many bad leaders of countries..It is not our place to invade and take over the countries..Heck, lots of the world think we have a bad leader causing bad things in the world..Would we allow other countries to invade America and take us over cause Bush is a bad murderous leader? We had NO RIGHT to invade Iraq, none whatsoever..and who decides who is a bad leader? Your bad leader is a wonderful leader to another..We need to take care of America..and these hurricanes show that..My mother always told me charity begins at home.
might as well pack a few
portable defibrillators too for all the fat cats with too many martunis in their bellies.
Can somebody please tell me what Joe six-pack
.
Is it referring to a 6-pack of beer? nm

Bully pack and gangs of pubs (GOP)
Losers on the board and losers in November.
One does not refer to people as "Joe Six Pack" - it's disgusting!!!

And, of course, the libs never do that to anyone do they? sm
All libs, please read.
There are a number of trolls on here. The best thing to do is not give in to the temptation to feed them. If they are simply ignored, they will find somewhere else to go. Get it? I ask that you not respond to their posts. It is even helpful to do a google and get the real definition of an internet troll and how to best deal with them.
and we don't have to be *tolerant* of libs
pushing their ideals down our throat or down our children's throats in public school either....
Oh, that's right, the libs are NEVER belittling...
you have had too much kool aid.
That's right, the libs never say anything inflammatory about anyone...nm

Just out of curiosity, where do all you libs think (sm)
the GOP folks you think are dying away or leaving are going? Do you honestly think they're moving to the Democrat party? Really???? Don't you realize that over the course of history the GOP and Dems have always had course corrections in their parties? You do remember that MLK was a republican in the 60s, right?
I am proud to be a republican, but I know that my party is changing. We don't have a solid front-runner. Palin (while I personally liked her) needs more experience before taking that high of an office. Most of our most public figures are older white men.
Obama got elected on style. He's a smooth talker, acts cool, and was different. A slightly higher majority of Americans (and trust me, the election was not a landslide, only about 10% difference which ain't much) voted him in. I don't like him. He's obnoxiously arrogant, and I don't like him apologizing for our country. Yes, Bush was arrogant too, but it was a different kind of arrogance. He knew he was the leader of the most powerful nation in the world and I believed he did what he felt was best for our country. While you all hated his reasons, I trusted him.
Obama, on the other hand, his arrogance is that he thinks he's better than the rest of us. The attitude that comes across is one of we should just be happy to be in his presence. He's book smart. But his inexperience is obvious. He's a puppet. Just like you libs thought Chaney was pulling the strings, Obama is just the same. It's obviously not Biden (good Lord, what an imbicile), but there are plenty of others behind the scenes pulling those wires.
All I'm saying is that I'm just going to watch and wait. My party will rebound and the Dems will eventually implode as is going to happen because each party always does. You're partying now after your so-called 8 years of hell, but I'm just waiting.
I love it when the libs are wrong! NM
Libs cons. It's just an abbreviation. sm
We can help that their abbr. fits their party the best - cons. Nina may have convinced herself that she comes in peace just to debate, but there was no reason for her to blow up in response to your post here.
And the others are propaganda machines for libs...
to each his own, as you say.
Libs talking about themselves here, no doubt...sm
can you say....mud sling fest. all night long ????
The libs hate Ann Coulter because.....
She is thin, blonde, wears fur, and has a brain to go with her good looks. No fool that woman.
Right, funny to you, but hurts the libs
nm
You libs are as predictable as the tides. LOL nm
xxx
The old double standards. Libs hate it. sm
no way PR is on the WH staff, but just keep on talking. You just look more foolish all the time. Chavez has been accusing the US of trying to off him for a long time. PR was just echoing that, but who really cares.
Not in the real world of dems/libs who are
nm
Oh well. Looks like libs have fallen back into favor.
is how we stage our revolutions. This one is long overdue and while lamenting this cruel turn of events, you might want to ask yourself why all this is happening. Could it be that W, his cronies and right-wing fringers have overplayed their hand and the voters are fed up with lies, deception, misinformation, politics of fear, division and the culture war, and yet the McCain camp keeps right on keepin' on. When you do a poor job, you get fired. That's the way it works. Change is what they want and change is what they are going to get. We are getting ready to write a new chapter in our history that will move us far beyond that mentality and will thrust us onto the threshold of the post post-911 era. I can't wait to get started and thank God I have managed to live long enough to watch it all unfold.
That would explain why the libs were single-handedly
the rise of the Beat Generation, the counter-culture revolution of the 60s, the success of the civil right's movement and the VietNam, Gulf War and Iraq anti-war movements, not to mention the fact that they have been champions of all sorts of dissenting opinions/movements. Advocating for Palestinian statehood comes to mind.
Four libs against 1 conservative...wow....how biased can that show be...sm
...that show is a joke.
Do you know how silly the libs sound by blaming everything
that happened in the last eight years on Bush?
I predict, that Obama will not take responsibility for anything that happens in next two years at least, maybe four....it will all be Bush's fault in some way.
And those won't be my words. They will be Obama's words.
Wait and see.
How much confidence can you have in president who takes no personal responsibility, or a Congress that takes no personal responsibility in their own legislation, blaming Bush for their own bailout legislation that they wrote?
Dems always change the rules.
It's happening again, slowly and surely.
If you don't think libs hold the dems accountable
They are harsher in their criticisms than the conservatives.
Libs always attack messenger instead of message.
They forget that this is not Bush’s porkfest, it’s Obama’s, all trillion of it, and yes, there will be more.
They don’t want to be educated on the Bush tax cuts. Tax revenues increased between 2003-2007.
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/87xx/doc8792/11-2007-MBR.htm
Go to the 'Receipts' table. This is a table showing how tax revenues increased between 2005-2007.
But I guess Democrats would say Dick Cheney sneaked into the CBO and changed the numbers.
How is it that Liberals claim to be able to read our minds? I would try to read a Liberal’s Mind, but I don’t like short stories, comic books, or things written in crayon. LMAO! HIC!"
You know how you hate it when conservatives paint libs with the same brush? sm
We don't like it either.
Sounds like you libs....can hardly wait for Monday revelations....
.
Who put the libs on this board in charge of free speech?
Joe has the right of free speech too. He asked a simple question, which Obama freely answered outlining socialism 101, and what did Joe get for that? A background check! And you can hail free speech and be okay with that in the same breath? Your hypocrisy is showing...and showing...and showing.
And you keep trying, and unsucessfully, to deflect from the true point. Understandably, because your focus is the big "O", the truthgiver, the one who will save the world. LOL. Free speech indeed. You don't believe in free speech unless it benefits you and the big "O."
Nothing in my post said anything about free speech. It just tried (and in vain I understand)...to stay on point...Obama's ANSWER.
Never mind, the no name posts explain it. You're just here to take a DUMP on the libs...nm

I know it's hard a concept for the dems/libs, but Rush says what he means.
He doesn't sugar coat. He's got his problems, but he owns them. He doesn't dance around them, sweep them under the carpet, double talk his way out of it. I mean, we aren't going to wake up tomorrow and find out Rush has been hanging with terrorists, is a closet muslim, or the antichrist.
There's a certain honesty to Rush that some people like and others don't.
WHAT A LEADER!!!!
Did New Orleans Catastrophe Have to Happen? 'Times-Picayune' Had Repeatedly Raised Federal Spending Issues
Even though Hurricane Katrina has moved well north of the city, the waters may still keep rising in New Orleans. That's because Lake Pontchartrain continues to pour through a two-block-long break in the main levee, near the city's 17th Street Canal. With much of the Crescent City some 10 feet below sea level, the rising tide may not stop until it's level with the massive lake.
New Orleans had long known it was highly vulnerable to flooding and a direct hit from a hurricane. In fact, the federal government has been working with state and local officials in the region since the late 1960s on major hurricane and flood relief efforts. When flooding from a massive rainstorm in May 1995 killed six people, Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, or SELA.
Over the next 10 years, the Army Corps of Engineers, tasked with carrying out SELA, spent $430 million on shoring up levees and building pumping stations, with $50 million in local aid. But at least $250 million in crucial projects remained, even as hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin increased dramatically and the levees surrounding New Orleans continued to subside.
Yet after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars.
Newhouse News Service, in an article posted late Tuesday night at The Times-Picayune Web site, reported: No one can say they didn't see it coming. ... Now in the wake of one of the worst storms ever, serious questions are being asked about the lack of preparation.
In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness.
The 2004 hurricane season was the worst in decades. In spite of that, the federal government came back this spring with the steepest reduction in hurricane and flood-control funding for New Orleans in history. Because of the proposed cuts, the Corps office there imposed a hiring freeze. Officials said that money targeted for the SELA project -- $10.4 million, down from $36.5 million -- was not enough to start any new jobs.
There was, at the same time, a growing recognition that more research was needed to see what New Orleans must do to protect itself from a Category 4 or 5 hurricane. But once again, the money was not there. As the Times-Picayune reported last Sept. 22:
That second study would take about four years to complete and would cost about $4 million, said Army Corps of Engineers project manager Al Naomi. About $300,000 in federal money was proposed for the 2005 fiscal-year budget, and the state had agreed to match that amount. But the cost of the Iraq war forced the Bush administration to order the New Orleans district office not to begin any new studies, and the 2005 budget no longer includes the needed money, he said.
The Senate was seeking to restore some of the SELA funding cuts for 2006. But now it's too late.
One project that a contractor had been racing to finish this summer: a bridge and levee job right at the 17th Street Canal, site of the main breach on Monday.
The Newhouse News Service article published Tuesday night observed, The Louisiana congressional delegation urged Congress earlier this year to dedicate a stream of federal money to Louisiana's coast, only to be opposed by the White House. ... In its budget, the Bush administration proposed a significant reduction in funding for southeast Louisiana's chief hurricane protection project. Bush proposed $10.4 million, a sixth of what local officials say they need.
Local officials are now saying, the article reported, that had Washington heeded their warnings about the dire need for hurricane protection, including building up levees and repairing barrier islands, the damage might not have been nearly as bad as it turned out to be.

AND THIS IS MY OWN TAKE, THE REASON PEOPLE ARE DYING BY THE MINUTE, NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO SANITATION, NO COMMUNICATIONS - IT IS ALL WRAPPED UP A WORLD AWAY IN IRAQ. THERE IS STILL ONLY ONE ROAD INTO NEW ORLEANS, THE REST HAVE TO COME BY CHOPPER, BUT BOAT. BUT WHERE ARE OUR CHOPPERS, MANPOWER AND BOATS? THEY ARE OVER IN IRAQ WHEN WE NEED THEM HERE, YESTERDAY. DID YALL CATCH THE STUPID SOB BEING INTERVIEWED BY DIANE SAWYER ON GMA? HE SAYS ALL LOOTERS SHOULD BE DEALT WITH AGGRESSIVELY. IN MY OPINION THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOOTERS WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND A BOTTLE OF LIQUID, OR FOOD, THAN THOSE WHO ARE LOOTING GUNS AND JEWELRY. HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH AN IDIOT? IS HOPE IN SITE?
Fox was the leader with
pushing the Rev garbage and trying to drum up the Ayres story. They are devoted to destroying his candidacy. I have seen them throw slurs at him in just mentioning where he was campaigning in a day -- little asides. They did that story about Obama throwing flags in the garbage. I don't believe any non-republican should appear on their network. I believe they have a right to do whatever they want on that station, but don't lie and say they are impartial. I believe that people who like that kind of stuff (The Factor and Ann Coulter) should be able to watch it; just don't go spreading the distortions as truth. Palin is not answering to any journalists. If she is qualified she can handle Chris Mathews just like every other politician. Everyone has to go on Meet the Press - people want to see her speak.
I think Andrea Mitchell is a repub - I'm not sure - but she would definitely give Sp a fair shake with fair questions.
I would not say that O is a non-leader
but I think it is time for some action, especially in the Gaza Strip. Saturday Israel was again massacering Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
This instead of accepting a 2-state solution Netanyahu agreed a couple of days ago!
Leader?
Of course he's no leader, he's a follower. Look at all the low lifes he was hanging out with, sitting in church with... please!! This guy is a joke.
He has never had 1 executive job in his life.... never!!!
You're right...anyone thinking he's a leader is definitely dreaming!
He knows nothing about executive decision making...AT ALL!
what do you call a leader
who keeps proposing things -- put off convention, put off debates -- and everyone just ignores him and goes about their business. Not much of a leader.
what do you call a leader....
who puts his interests above those of the country?
I was a leader in the Army
Serving in the Army, I know what it is like to be a leader. It not something you learn overnight and doesn't come automatically. It takes years to become a good leader and your actions determine whether or not you are one. A leader exhibits certain qualities (confidence, self-discipline, and intelligence to name a couple). To be a good leader you must listen to many. Communicate with your peers for advice to make the best informed decision. You need to back your people up. You need to stick by them and stick up for them. You need to treat them with respect. You need to be the first to put your foot down on enemy territory and the last to take your foot off. You need to have a vision and see the big picture. You need to communicate effectively and find common ground to work together. You need to be able to motivate and inspire, and most importantly hold yourself to the highest of standards. And you never ever quit. Quitting is not an option. I could probably go on at length about being a leader.
The post above has nothing to do with being a leader. Putting off a debate in the times that we are going through so that you can go back to Washington to do your job and help to fix the problem is the responsible thing to do, which goes to show again that Sen. John McCain is a truly responsible leader. He is putting the American people before his own self interest. This crisis must be resolved before anything further can go on. How do you expect to tackle any of the other issues if we can't even get our own country back on track.
Sen John McCain is a true leader. He is telling us it should not fall upon us to bail out the execs while they walk away with millions, and he is the first to put his campaigning on hold to do this. This is the same courage he showed when he was in a POW camp and would not leave before the other soldiers in the camp. Sen. McCain stands up for what is right and will not quit until a solution has been set. He and Gov. Sarah Palin have proven they are not afraid to go against the "good ol boys", while Sen Obama goes along with the good ol boys. If Sen Obama would let the people know that the money he received as a kickback from FMFM he would be paying back would give me a little more confidence that he does care about the people, but Obama, Dodd, Kerry and others (and yes some republicans) are not about to hand back any of the money.
Sen Obama is a smooth talker and that is about all. He tells you what you want to hear but he does not follow through. He is just one more politician giving us a line of hooey thinking he has us fooled (obvious he does have some fooled) but luckily others see through him.
Also, not sure what TV station you watched but Sen McCain did not put off the convention. It went on just as it planned to exactly the dates it was supposed to. Just like the Democratic convention.
What I want is a leader who understands
Palin flunks that test on multiple levels. She does not even have a grip on the duties of the office she is running for...much like Cheney. VPs take over in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of the president. They preside over the senate and break tie votes. They act only as an agent for the president and do not hold any EXECUTIVE powers. They preside over and certify official electoral college vote counts. On some occasions they are called upon by the president for advice, meet with heads of state (God forbid) and attend state functions and funerals. That ALL they do. There is no "flexibility" conferred by the Constitution in this regard, despite her claims to the contrary. She has already shown herself to be interested in MORE than what that office has to offer.
In terms of troopergate, the investigation was not a popularity referendum on the brother-in-law or the trooper she fired for not firing her brother-in-law. Palin clearly had a conflict of interest regarding the outcome of her sister's divorce/custody proceedings. It is customary in the US court system that the outcome of divorces and custody matters are decided in the family civil court system...not at the heavy hand of the governor's office exerting influence and abusing the of power of the office to influence the outcome of the decision. That is what she sought to do when she tried to get her brother-in-law fired....influence the custody decision. She sought to bypass the legal system and take matters into her own hands. That, my dear, is abuse of power. Laws apply to all of us all the time....not just when they suit us, and Palin showed complete disregard for the system and for the people who voted her into office when she decided to assume the role of judge, jury and executioner.
Seems like the investigation saw it that way too. This is a character issue that goes straight to the essence of integrity and judgment...Palin flunked, and in view of her previous record, this comes as no big surprise. It was not the first time she abused her position and if elected, it will not be the last.
And a leader who is actually not intimidated when

Another outstanding leader of the GOP!
South Carolina GOP activist and former chairman of the state elections commission Rusty DePass has apologized for saying a gorilla that escaped from a zoo was an "ancestor" of Michelle Obama.
The controversy started when FITSNews, a local politics Website, obtained a screengrab of DePass's comment on Facebook.
After an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster detailed the escape of the gorilla from Columbia's Riverbanks Zoo, DePass responded with a comment: "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."
DePass later admitted to WIS News that he was referring to Michelle Obama and said, "I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest."
DePass, who was a county co-chair for Rudy Giuliani's 2008 campaign, supported the push to impeach President Bill Clinton in the late 90s, writing in an op-ed for The State, "Do Republicans have higher moral standards than Democrats?"
Agree also. He is a leader who wants everyone to

So sad..we need a foreign leader to help our poor
Venezuelan heating oil will be distributed to poor
U.S. communities via the
Venezuelan-owned oil company Citgo.
Credit: Venezuelanalysis.com
<http://Venezuelanalysis.com>
Caracas, Venezuela, November 18, 2005—The
Venezuelan-owned and
U.S.-basedfuel refiner and distributor Citgo will
begin distributing discounted heating oil to poor U.S.
communities next week. Rafael Ramirez, Venezuela's
Minister of Energy and Petroleum, made the
announcement yesterday, saying that the measure is
meant to show Venezuela's commitment to disadvantaged
sectors in the United States.
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez had originally
announced the measure last August, while the U.S.
civil rights activist Jesse Jackson was visiting
Venezuela.
The launch of the discounted heating oil program is
meant to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday and
will benefit communities in poor communities of
Boston, Massachusetts and of the Bronx, New York.
The first phase of the program will begin in Boston
and will provide 4.5million liters (1.2 million
gallons) of heating oil at discounted rates, which
will mean a savings of approximately $10 million.
According to the Venezuelan government, the discounts
will be achieved by eliminating middle-men and
having Citgo deliver the heating oil directly to the
communities.
Accordingly, the plan does not involve any losses to
Citgo itself.
The logistics of the plan will involve non-profit
community organizations, which will help with the
selection of beneficiaries, distribution, and billing.
Heating oil costs are expected to reach historical
heights this year, which means that many poor
households might have to go without heat, despite
limited state programs to subsidize heating oil for
low-income
families.
Citgo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's
state-owned oil company PDVSA and operates five
refineries and licenses 14,000 gas stations throughout
the U.S.
A great leader, they must be joking. sm
He is considered by most to be a dictator. I am sure his 20 supporters on Republican board will not agree with me.
Spoken like a true leader...nm
YOU NAILED it, mostly but bush is NO leader
he is a puppet put in place by the powers that TRULY run the country - and he is merely advancing U.S. imperalist foreign policies.
THE COMMENTS HE MADE WERE DONE ON PURPOSE: He was putting the world on notice of our (US) intents.
When RICE says "Iran is an obstacle to US goals" the translation is this: IRAN IS IN THE WAY OF U.S. HEGEMONY.
If Americans don't wake up soon to what THEY ARE PAYIN FOR WITH THEIR TAX DOLLARS they are going to be paying the price for tolerating a corrupt goverment that will be checked by other major powers (like China), to who?whom? we are the MOST indebted.
In the words of our fealess leader.

Because he's a leader, not a follower, he has brains,
he is his own man. That is why, no matter how loud you scream and how indignantly you protest, people are simply tuning out on this negative sludge. We want to see McCain develop some backbone, drop the school yead bully routine and talk about some issues. It's not too much to ask, just 3 weeks shy of the election.
Doesn't make him my leader.....

Sounds like a cult leader.
No votes for this man from me. He is up to no good.
