U R an
A$$H@LE.
youre babbling nonsense - does
not make any sense. Move on dot arrgh.
okay slick...
;)
There is nothing slick about
wanting to thoroughly check into a situation before giving his answers in his own time to the press. He knows from the campaign how the pubs are foaming at the mouth to try to involve him in the Blagojevich scandal. I doubt Obama is aware of every single incoming and outgoing email, phone call, text message, IM and conversation his transition team members have or have not had in this regard. At the press conference, he was only able to speak for himself. I think it is admirable that he would want to give the press an honest and thorough answer to their question, which he clearly could not do without checking it out first.
There is a difference between being able to "explain away" answers and not being able to defend statements on any level whatsoever, as in the case of Rush Limbaugh. Many of the more ignorant among the fringers are simply not capable of comprehending Obama's rhetoric, and NEED the explanations. It is the more intelligent among the fringers that are trying to be the slick ones by their knee-jerk make-believe interpretations that cast him in the worst light possible. But go ahead and give it your best shot. Prove me wrong. Give me a for instance instead of dancing around this subject all night long.

Make sure youre read about today's
Meet the Press with David Gregory. It's embedded in this OP's news story. It's long, but for those who did not watch Meet the Press this morning, please read the whole thing, including Rep. Boehner's interview.
It's to bad Mccain can't slick talk like O the Lawyer
then he could have really ripped O a new one.
But at least he called him out this time, although I wish he would have pushed a few more issues and really make him answer.
It's funny, all the left wings want us to pull out of Iraq a.s.a.p. but in talking with a lot of military folks I know they say they know why they are over there and they NEED to be there. I think the only ones that are ready to jump ship are the ones who only joined the military for a job and an education. The ones that actually joined because they want to fight for their country support what is going on overseas.
I don't doubt that Obama will win. There are too many people who are going to vote for him because he sounds good, and yes, many people will vote for him because he is black, and others will vote for him because they want daddy government to take care of them. Unfortunately, the majority of the nation can't look past his good looks and fancy speeches to see him for what he is.
After tonight, I think Mccain deserves the presidency. He wasn't my number one choice, but he sure as heck is my choice over Obama.
relax

Have a little Chianti and relax.
Talk about creating meaning out of meaningless things...a perfect example is your rhinoceros post. Also, aren't you the one who posted the ridiculous rambling post pretending to have a conversation with your butler or servant of some sort?
Relax, I didn't write it.
It was simply for amusement and speculation, not of scientific value.
Relax - was only commenting on what I heard
We all have our opinions and all of our opinions are important to each and every one of us. What one person agrees/disagrees with certainly not everyone will. That is why I like this board. I can post a message about something I feel strongly about and get other readers feedback. Sometimes the comments can be "heated" and other times people agree and others nicely disagree. Each candidate gets "smeared" by the others, no one is perfect. But this is a great board and nice to hear other people's opinions. Also, if I happen to paste something I read from an article I will cite where I received the info from. Otherwise they are my thoughts.
Relax kiddo.........I was backing you up
Obviously you didn't see it that way. My point was that Palin has the dems running scared as well as the liberal media and they are coming out swinging with every hateful thing they have!! They see her as a truly formidable component and they DON'T like it!
Relax. It is the law. You are free to kill at will...
does not make it right.
Relax, "socialist" is the tag that every republican...sm
candidate in my lifetime has at some time attached to the democratic candidate as a scare tactic. This is nothing new. Of note, there is a reason it is called the "democratic" party and not the socialist party, progressive party, communist party, fascist party or nazi party. We believe in a democratic party of the people, by the people and for the people, not for just the few who are the richest and think they know what is best for US.
Relax - just heard the commercial
I just listened to the commercial. No where in the commercial does McCain call Obama a terrorist. He states that the people he is associted with are terrorists. Nothing new, and no lie there. I do have to say McCain must air commercials like that to enlighten people as to the shady characters Obama associates with. The people have a right to know. Just like the commercials that Obama is putting out against McCain. When it comes to politics the Americans have a right to know exactly who these people are and who are their affiliations and what damage are they going to do to America. Besides, I've heard plenty worse lies in commercials by Obama. When asked in the debate McCain was the only one who agreed it is dirty, and was going to back down, but Obama refused and also refused to apologize for the radical commercial that lied about McCain.
So I'd relax, just another election. If you don't like the commercials there is always the mute button. Besides, it will be over in a few weeks and we can put this behind us for at least 4 years.
Relax. I was referring to the McCain camp.

Are you comparing Pat
/
39% is a ton when you are comparing she is
nm
Comparing the two presidents
is a little like comparing a bass (Bush) to a great white shark (Iranian president). 
She wasn't comparing them.
She was giving an example of unsound reasoning.
this looks like you are comparing a black
person to a "retarded" person, which makes YOU look bad. -and have some respect for the office, please. Talking like a 5-year-old does not help your own cause.
name-calling, same old liberal. Comparing SP to
nm
Yes, but he is comparing policies and emphasizing
words straight from McC's mouth and infinitely verifiable upon inspection of his record. Obama is NOT indulging himself in a character assassinating, fear-mongering, cultural warring free-for-all. People DO notice the difference, you know...at least, some of them anyway.
That congressman is comparing him to Hitler
I can't remember his name, but I saw it on Fox News. All he's doing is getting everybody in an uproar and scaring them. I think that's why people are posting this now.
Let be what is, everybody, and just have a sit-and-wait approach. It's much less stressful! :)
Comparing McCain's and Obama's
life achievements it was obvious I could never vote for Obama. However, as comparatively better as McCain seemed to me, it was still obvious that they were promising to take us in about the same direction, only at slightly different speeds. Still, rather than not vote, or throw my ballot away on a third party, I went for McCain, choosing someone who had served well in the military over someone whose main claims to fame were socialism, gutting the constitution and 'community organization.' Maybe conservatives will have their act together a little better by 2012 and the choice will be clearer.
I wasn't comparing Rush to Affleck. sm
And no one here said a word of condemnation against Affleck. That was my point.
I am comparing SP to other repubs - not democrats - in my question - nm

stop comparing politicians to fish!
Everyone knows referring to Trout Pout is a subtle racial insult!
I'm sorry, but are you comparing an embryo, fetus to a turkey?!?!? And you think it is funny?!?!
I wonder if I'm the only one who finds your idea of a joke offensive. Just when I was ready to be offended by "blob of tissue" you chime in with your turkey joke. I'm stunned sometimes at the callousness of some people. I don't know why I would be stunned considering the world we live in, but I still am from time to time. Thank my Heavenly Father! I wouldn't want to be so cold.
Those "blobs of tissue" have heartbeats. Those "blobs of tissue" have such beauty and such potential. Those "blobs of tissue" are alive.
fool on the hill
We are at war, in the middle of a war so we cant talk badly about our president or administration..Oh please. I will talk and shout out how awful this little jerk is in the WH and anyone else who sees the TRUTH, please speak out too. To be quiet about this warmonger and what he is doing to America is a major crime. No, I wont be quiet..I will scream out what this chickenhawk has done to America. You can sit meekly by and take whatever the fool on the hill shoves your way.
What in the sam hill are you talking about?
Get the groove on sister. Let's get some real talking going here.
And I say again....look at all the experience on the hill now....
and where did it get us? In the worst financial crisis since the depression. Frankly, at this point, "experience" means ZIP to me. I am ready for some good old common sense. I don't care if they talk "purty," I want some good DECISIONS. She is looking the best to me in that area!
Here is the Capital Hill
202-204-3121 Capital Hill number.

Here is the link to find your senators in your own state.
Once link is opened, look at upper right corner in blue area for Find Your Senators and pick your state.
This is unbelieveable and ridiculous - your comparing two totally opposite things
You cannot compare the two. You evidently approve of the bible studies and that is fine. There is nothing wrong with a bible study if you keep it under a certain number.
These people are assembling more than 15 people in which case they need to get a license according to the law. There are certain rules why (fire codes, etc). This is being done on a regular basis. Therefore it becomes a business.
The playground for the kids have a license and is zoned for such.
The "folks at the airport for their plane. Lawbreakers?" Are you for real? That is what the airport is for. It is zoned for that and they pay their fees to whatever state, and they abide by the laws.
It's not what they are doing in their home. It's that they are assembling a large congegration of people on a regular basis in a home that is not zoned for the business.
You cannot compare this with a playground, airport, or a tupperware party (which occurs on an infrequent basis here and there).
Having a social event like scrapbooking, tupperware party, having some friends over to watch a sports game is a whole different issue (unless they have it on a weekly basis with open bar and more than 15 people - in which case they need to get a license and follow the law). It's not that we hate what they are doing. That has nothing to do with it. The law is specific and they are breaking the law.
Here's a question for you...if I lived next door to you and I belonged to a Wiccan group would you mind me having 20 or so people over every week so that we could have our ceremonies to celebrate our wiccan holidays and rituals. Would you mind that 20 or so people were in the backyard next to yours completing our ritual of praying to the moon goddess (or whatever gods/goddesses for the ritual) at night. Sometimes we build a fire and dance in circles and chant our prayers. Would you mind that. Some groups even complete their ceremonies in the nude. Would you be fine with that?
It's very simple. The law states that if you have over a certain number of people that hold regular meetings/functions you need to have a business license and follow the law. It doesn't matter what they are doing. They need to follow the law.
I agree with you. Bill and Hill think that
if they break it, they can fix it. They're up to something. Cannot trust either of them, and even though I am a staunch Democrat, I will not vote for her/him. My opinion is that the country's only hope is in Obama, whether you like him or not. He impressed me because he spoke out against the war when it was not politically correct, when people were said to be "unpatriotic" if they disagreed with the shrub. Have been paying very close attention to the primaries, caucuses, etc. since before Christmas. Please, no more Clintons, no more Bushes. Maybe Hillary will crash and burn.
Media Bias per AP, The Hill, etc.
When I said dems, I meant the ones on the hill....
I did not mean you. However, why are you not willing to hold them accountable? They are to blame. If it were Republicans at the heart of it, I would be saying the same thing. That is what I don't get about the party faithful on EITHER side.
Fact is, 92 dems voted no on it. Had they not, it would have passed. That was planned from the start. They do NOT want it to be a Dem majority, otherwise they would just pass it.
Why on earth should they vote for it if they don't believe in it and their constituents are asking them NOT to pass it, just because Bush wants it? THAT is what I am talking about. I say good for them. Toeing the party line is not what we need in this country. Holding people accountable is what we SHOULD be doing.
Actually, neither one means a hill of beans to me...thanks for trying...nm
How old were you when Anita Hill testified?
Go here and read the sexual harrassment section...in its entirity. He is a disgusting excuse for a human being and could only have been appointed and confirmed under a Bush administration...and my opinion of him has NOTHING to do with right of left. It has to do with right and wrong and the dignity of the SC, which CT undermines every time he walks into the chambers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas
If these calls did not amount to a hill of
beans when it came time for my representatives to *roll up their sleeves* and do *THEIR JOBS,* then it is time to fire them and elect someone who will listen to the calls. That is why we elected them, to listen to their constituents and REPRESENT us! You just do not get the picture at all.
I never heard Hill commenting on SP breasts
Must have been on O'Reilly show. Was there a large screen behind him showing various closeup videos of both Hillary's and SP's chests to illustrate the point?
There is a reason that Bill and Hill aren't...
out there strongly for Obama. They ARE for the party, but not him particularly. If Hillary was invested in this, she would be going all over the country stumping. She's not. Bill was saying nothing but positive things on Greta Van Susteren's show. Hillary is fixed on 2012...and the only way she runs for Prez then is if Obama loses. If he wins, it might be 8 years. Neither one are going to stray from the party line, but they certainly aren't in the ranks of "ardent" Obama supporters.
I personally think if Obama were to think about ditching Biden (and I really don't think he is) and asked Hillary about it, I think she would tell him in no uncertain terms to take a hike. We would never know that publically of course...I think he knows he messed in his nest with the Clintons. I can't see him going there, and I certainly can't see Michelle and Hillary rubbing elbows for 4 years...lol. But, like you, I could be wrong....stranger things have happened. lol.
Capital hill is being flooded with calls
to stimulus. So, if Obama states one more time during his speeches with a bunch of pronouns and adjectives, "The people want this!" I am going to..... well, barf! I still WANT MY MONEY BACK FROM THE BAILOUT. GOVERNMENT SUCKS!

You have to excuse them, after Bill and Hill, scandal is just part

That should be "grin" - anyone else watch Anita Hill hearings? nm
Anita Hill lied - there were two sides to the case
Only Thomas and Hill know what really happened. When this case was ongoing I was a democrat, yet I believed Thomas. People need to read the case and decide for themsleves. Just because Anita Hill said there was sexual harrassment doesn't mean it's true. I was on jury duty for a full week for a girl who said her boyfriend raped her. With her crying on the witness stand and carrying on I believed she was. On the fifth day we were all dismissed from duty, the girl told her lawyer that he really did not rape her and she made it up because she was made at him. Please don't go by just the link below either. Do some more researching, but from what I read of this article I don't think it's leaning towards one or the other side. All I'm saying is there are two sides of the story. By your post I'm sure if he was a democrat who wasn't getting ready to look over the info about the O you would praise him as a great judge.

Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill!
Vietnam-era radical Bill Ayers says he knows President-elect Barack Obama no better than thousands of other people in Chicago.
In an interview Friday morning on ABC's "Good Morning America," Ayers distanced himself from Obama. Ayers said — for example — the two didn't even meet before Ayers hosted an event at his home for Obama.
Ayers said the relationship was based on things like improving schools in their Chicago neighborhood — not on Ayers' political views.
um...you're thinking of Bill and Hill, walking out of the white house with everything
That was a fact, overlooked by most libs.
Do ya think lithium would help here? (only kidding, doesn't make sense, but this is Capitol Hill
