In Reply to: I agree that we need to buy American made products, in particular cars... - Just the big bad
saying for years and years to BUY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS and that is all she does. She says it keeps the jobs here in the US. Whatever she buys, she has to look to see where it was made from. I know some cars have foreign parts, but she then sees how much percentage of the product is American Made. Shoot, they even drive around their American made cars with bumper stickers that say BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS. They always felt that other countries would destroy us, kind of like a cold war for us buying foreign made. I think we did it to ourselves.

Your great aunt..........sm
sounds like a wise woman. Had America stuck to buying American made way back when, we wouldn't be in this mess right now. And it is not just the car market. While I agree that an automobile is a "big-ticket item" just look at all the "small-ticket items" that we buy every single day and think nothing of it........clothing, computers, shoes, appliances.......the list goes on and on. America's greed for more, more, more has brought her to her knees. I only hope she will be able to stand back up again, stronger and with more resolve to move forward than ever before.
I agree with you. As my great aunt always said
It is that simple.
Geesh.
'
Geesh
That was quite a bold statement........and rather ignorant......
Never mind geesh
I said it right the first time.
It's been all over the news about his aunt
and brother.
Does that mean all news media is wrong? I'm sure a few have verified the stories, but then ya never know with these people nowadays.
And BTW, GP, I'm with you on the food. You got me hungry for some good old-fashioned vittles. 
What was racist about that? Geesh.
xx
Geesh what is your deal?
I am laughing at this! Out of all the nasty, mean, down right horrible posts on this board, you pick this one to get your panties in a wad about? I dont get it? Abc posted that she could kill her baby in her tummy which is here opinion but what about that? why not be upset over that? is that cuz you agree with abortion and that is okay? you're like on a witch hunt or something.
Geesh, been trying to find that out all day.
New Democrat Caucus Against Big Government
Allen Boyd (FL)
Bobby Bright (AL)
Jim Cooper (TN)
Brad Ellsworth (IN)
Parker Griffith (AL)
Paul Kanjorski (PA)
Frank Kratovil (MD)
Walt Minnick (ID)
Collin Peterson (MN)
Heath Shuler (NC)
Gene Taylor (MS)
Note - Some of these names come as no surprise; Taylor, Boyd and Cooper, all three of whom are basically "Republicans" with a Democrat label. But Kanjorski of Pennsylvania, normally regarded as a standard Liberal, is a bit of a surprise.
Is Obama's aunt still
here illegally?
GEESH, What is next? Michelle
Already has to show off her arms.
nonissue my aunt fanny
She was a member, in addition to her husband, spoke to their members telling them what a great job they were doing. Obama was 8 years old when Ayres was running amok. If SHE can claim exemption because it was in the past - good grief, so can an 8-year-old Obama.. Maybe one of SP's kids was 8 years old when she spoke to them and THAT makes it even-steven. Twisting, twirling in the wind.
My 88--year-old aunt goes sleeveless, duh
does that mean she is premenopausal. You people here are really sad.
You go girl!! I am part Japanese. My aunt will tell me sm
ALL that my grandmother had to go through to become legal. It can be done. If that woman is pregnant and is a resident of Mexico she should do the noble thing and return to Mexico.
Too many people in Texas (I have family there too) put up with illegals there. That will soon become a little Mexican-American nation and Spanish will be the main language because just like her, "why do you care??" Then what will they say about it?
Has she not heard the term that all it takes is just a little bit of yeast to work through the entire dough...It will happen eventually.
oops - I meant KGB......geesh, slaps self!!! LOL
sorry, I meant to type KGB....
It's your reply to the post about Obama Aunt from
You always have a way of posting a view (on illegal immigration) with which I disagree, but always am able to better understand because you have that uncanny ability to strip away all the fluff and get down to the nitty gritty...sort of like Lou Dobbs, who I actually like to listen to except for his illegal immigration crusade, in spite of the fact that I am a left-wing commie!
Don't leave out shirley u jest, Aunt
......... and all the other little spur of the moment names she comes up with.
So true! I think Patty & Aunt Louise should go
All that narrow-mindedness and hatred really gets old.
Who cares? Got bigger fish to fry.... geesh!!

Most significantly out of control post of the day award goes to gt. Geesh! nm
Geesh, did you even watch the videos, what fabulous tax break, for who??

Obama's aunt from Kenya living in US illegally...

Obama's Campaign to Return Aunt's Contributions.... sm
By Matthew Mosk
The campaign of Sen. Barack Obama will refund a small number of contributions made by Obama's aunt, who has been living in the United States illegally, according to a published report.
The woman, Zeituni Onyango, lives in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.
The Associated Press reported today that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.
Obama campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Onyango gave $265 to the campaign. Foreign nationals are not permitted to donate to American presidential campaigns.
"Given the information that has been brought to our attention, the contributions are being refunded," Ben LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman, told The Washington Post this morning.
The campaign told the AP that Obama was not aware that questions had been raised about his aunt's legal status.
"Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed," the statement said, according to the AP.
"No knowledge of her status." Why does that not surprise me? A man who is so "family oriented" and has such a wonderful extended family with which he goes to Kenya to visit and strengthen his roots with, yet he has no clue as to what their "status" is. 
Great post, great insight, great analysis, thanks!..nm

And yes, Lynn is my name, not a handle; geesh I guess another conspiracy in the making. nm

Great, great post. Thank you, Marmann! nm

Sure is great
Yup, I love posting the truth about the white house monster. Cant take it?? Well, I can remember some awful things the neocons said about President Clinton for eight years..What is good for the goose is good for the gander..
This is great!
Thanks for posting it. I didn't see this one before. I've only recently begun to watch his show and haven't been able to catch all of them. 
That's great! nm
This is great and I am going ...
to email this guy and tell him so.

These were great.
Thanks. Too bad they're all true. 
This was great!
Thanks for posting the link. I liked it all but especially laughed at the terrorists loving Masterpiece Theater. :-)
Yes, great. sm
She is speaking at an A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition meeting. You know about ANSWER, right? About as anti-American as you can get. Here's a little information. Also, as Observor said, she is a racist and an antisemite. Did you not see the video of her bodyguards, in her presence, race baiting Jews?
Formed within three days of the September 11th attacks, and officially founded on September 14, 2001 by Ramsey Clark and members of the International Action Center, ANSWER was one of the first organizations formed to protest the policies of the Bush administration in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Its first major action was a September 29, 2001 Anti-War, Anti-Racist political rally and march in Washington, D.C., primarily in protest of the then-impending U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Subsequently the organization has organized rallies drawing crowds in the hundreds of thousands, including several with record-setting numbers of people. ANSWER characterizes itself as anti-imperialist, and its steering committee consists of socialists, Marxists, civil rights advocates, and left-wing progressive organizations from the Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, Filipino, Haitian, and Latin American communities. Many of ANSWER's leaders were members of Workers World Party (WWP) at the time of ANSWER's founding, and are current members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Marxist-Leninist organization that formed in 2004.
we know what a great
in-the-nation's-best-interests job the courts did on the Gore (Nobel prize winner) and Bush (failure in absolutely all business ventures) decision. Clarence still seeking revenge on Anita Hill. Plus don't forget the Supreme Court justice who just happens to enjoy duck hunting with Cheney. The guy with a cloud over his head according to Fitzgerald in the Plame case. Pile in on.
This was great
First time in a long time I watched the news and I was pretty amused tonight. Subject was Barack's trip to Berlin and his speech. Republican representative said that Obama shouldn't have done it because he's not the president. They were asked well what about McCain when he went and gave a speech in Canada. Their response was "Well that was different. They are Canadians". He also said it was okay for McCain to give speech to Canadians because Canada is in North America.
When questioned further it actually came out that they (republicans) were upset because the Berlin speech made Obama look good, while McCains biggest highlight of the week was giving in interview in the dairy isle of the grocery store.
They tried to say that Barack was giving a "policy" speech, and when corrected they made up some other lame excuse (that's when it came out that they were upset because having all those people gather for his speech in Berlin made him look good).
Just goes to show you how desperate the republicans are. They had their chance to pick a better candidate than some old lame, senile guy, but this is who they chose. Now they are just mad because McCain is looking more feeble, constantly whines, and is constantly mis-speaking and getting the facts wrong (and having to be corrected in public by those closest to him). Someone said that if he would just stick to issues and not try and attack/belittle Obama every chance he got it might go a little different for him.
I just thought that was quite amusing for a change in the news.
Great! :) nm

Great pic thanks
That's excellent. She sure knows her weapons. Goes to show she knows and supports Ammendment 2 of the constitution - Right to bear arm. You go girl Governor Palin. Would she now be considered the new Governator. :-)
He was great. Wish he had been more like that...
during the primaries. I like Fred.
That would be great but we all know that
some people can't see beyond their nose and some people don't have the ability to weigh the facts of what is written.
FYI, I have finally made up my mind through reading.
She was great. Try though he did, he...
couldn't trip her up and it was to his obvious great frustration. She did a better job than Obama did with O'Reilly. lol. At least she didn't say she had to figure out which faction. lol.
i just think it's great :)
that we'll have either our first black pres or first female vp. I don't know why obama only sides w/ his black side, and I don't know why you have a problem with me thinking that it's great that for once we are going to have some diversity. Sheesh
These are great
These are great strategies. I can certainly understand why he should be president. I can't wait too vote!!!!! (sorry, I just couldn't resist!!)
Jon is great. sm
His facial expressions alone make me laugh. I became a fan after watching him confront Tucker Carlson during an interview. If I find that clip, I will post it. It is not comedy, but Jon tells it like it is.
And just look at the great welcome
received after their service to our country...I'm sure Kendra is thinking of this and wondering how many people are going to feel this way towards her own hero! You hang in there Kendra, you do have a hero and God bless you, your husband and your child!
Ain't that the great
thing about America? You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.
Religious beliefs aren't legislated in a society that claims to respect freedom of religion for all. If a tourist or other person is murdered in the USA, of course that person is protected from the crime of murder, but reference was being made to the United States Constitution and the word "citizen" was used. I was merely providing the definition of "citizen" as provided by the Constitution.
Again, the ultimate decision will be between a woman and her creator. I'm willing to let God do his/her job. Why aren't you? 
This was great!
I'm still laughing! Thanks for posting this. It's nice to leave the computer with a smile on my face. Hope you have a great day.
What a great ad
Of course they wont run that. What is wrong with it? People have abortions every day, people vote so that it is legal, people protest for their right to do what they want with their body. Given that, why cant we see a commercial about it? My children have to watch Enzyte (spelling?) commercials and see sexual things on TV anytime they try to watch it. So why not? Because anything with an ounce of a moral behind it is exactly what most of society does not want to see.
That would be great. (nm)
.
LOL! That's great!!! (nm)
Great...
Just don't tell my grandkids or I'll have to tell them different. ;-)
That was great!
Of course, the right wing nuts on this board will have a field day, but I am glad to see all the holes poked in these ridiculous statements.
Thanks, JTBB!
