Your grasping at straws
You really can't see the truth. If something goes agains Obama you claim its a plant. If it goes against McCain it's real? You know, nobody at the rally of Palin's yelled "kill-em" but you don't want to believe that, so now your playing that tune with "oh the plumber was a plant". Sheesh!
I do believe the pubs are grasping at
Time for a change; the same isn't working anymore...
You're really grasping at straws now
Surely you are not dumb enough to think democrats don't drive around in gas-hogs? They drive around here in them and it doesn't seem to bother them how much gas they're eating up.
Get over yourself!
Grasping at straws would be challenging

Grasping at straws aren't ya
First, the Queen requested an IPOD? Oh brother. She already had one. Many people are saying he needs to have a better gift selector. After all what's next a block of velveta cheese and accompanying cookbook.
Next, the Queen put her arm around Michelle and doesn't like to touch anyone else? Oh please, that really is grasping at straws. First, you don't know if she doesn't like to touch other people or if in the past other people's wives touched the Queen. M.O. was the first in placing her hand on the Queen's back and then the Queen then put her hand on M.O.'s back in kind (looking at the picks here). You make it sound as though they were embracing each other. They were not. It was a kindly encounter. Nothing more.
As for the Dow going up? Woo-hoo....up, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up, up, down. It's a big bouncing ball. But your crowing at a 39.51 close up???? Nothing to crow about especially since last week it dropped close to 149 points and the next day it closed down almost 255 pounds. And it's been down more times than up. So, please spare me with your glee of it going up 39.51 points. When it goes up a lot and stays up, then that is something we can all talk about. Chances are it will go back down. Especially with our country being sold out from under us.
I know you're grasping at straws but McCain
According to the Constitution, only "natural born citizens" have the right to run for the presidency.") The senator bases his eligibility claim on the fact that he was (1) born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone at a time when it was effectively under U.S. sovereignty and (2) both of his parents were U.S. citizens.
The birth certificate was signed by Captain W. L. Irvine. The name has been checked against the Naval Register for 1936, and William Lorne Irvine was director of the medical facility at the submarine base hospital in Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, during that time period. You can see the entry. This effectively disposes of any remaining doubts that McCain was born inside the Canal Zone.
I am tired of the right wing grasping at straws. (nm)
