The candidate who runs from the economy during a meltdown

We are already too far down the road...sm
Nothing will save us from a depression now. The only question is who can turn us around. Not who can turn us around the quickest, just who can turn us around period! A very heavy burden. It will take an extradinary person to get us out of this awful mess.
i wouldn't go down that road
When you start knocking down spouses, but especially children, of politicians that's pretty low. Not all families "look similar". My BIL was not his father's son, but he claims he looks the most like his father. There is a definite non-resemblance there but he doesn't see it.
As for Chelsea? Oh please, I've heard her speak and she is too infatuated with her mother and how great she thinks her mother is she doesn't understnad the issues, and she doesn't sound all too intelligent. Makes me wonder where that education money went her parents spent on her education.
I think McCain's daughter is a pretty and doesn't look "challenged" as you call it, but to start commenting on who you think is pretty or not pretty or whose hair color is nice or not nice. I woun't go down that road, cos we could really get into Hillary's hair color and others.
notes from the low road...
hi folks, Joe and I are going to keep on campaigning (fiddling while Rome burns) and they will call us if they need us....hey! Wonder why they aren't calling???
Nah, just a big bump in the road. sm
There was another big recession in 1991. Bill Clinton cleaned it up during his presidency, and we ended up with a budget surplus.
We need responsible government again to get us back on top. It will happen, but it will take a while.
You really want to go down the lobbyist road?
can you say glass house?
Since you chose to go down this road...
...with me. This is cut and pasted from the web site. While this does not specifically name soft drinks, anything that rings up as taxable on the register is ineligible. In Ohio, only foods for home consumption are nontaxable; restaurant food is taxable; soft drinks are taxable; paper products, soap, etc.
Okay, NOW you're excused! And still not credible. But thanks for playing!

sighhh...you just can't avoid the low road can you?
lol
Better the high horse than the low road....nm
nm
Just wait and see what happens a few years down the road. (nm)

Obama is middle of the road?
That road must by at the Indianapolis 500, because it only seems to TURN TO THE LEFT.
I have no problem with US drilling its own oil, BUT 10-15 years down the road
or even 20 years, will we be in the same situation we are in today. The oil resources we have will not last forever at the rate we are using today, and I expect we will continue to increase the amount of oil needed to maintain the country.
So, yeah go ahead and start the US drilling, but once that is bankrupt we will still be in the same place unless other alternatives like hybrid cars, etc, are seriously used as an alternative.
Memo to Hillary: Road Trip!
Memo to Hillary: Road trip to that place between King City and Coalingo
Dear Hillary:
I know you've been real busy with sniper fire and 3:00 a.m. phone calls, etc., but have you ever seen that commercial for AT&T internet service, where the guy says he's on the road between "King City and Coalingo" (sp?) (There are several commercials out there for this product, and the theme for them is people's "moments.")
In the one I'm referring to, there's a guy is standing near a big field with a bunch of cows, explaining how his service lets him do business anywhere, and after he's through explaining how it works and how his bid was the first one in, he gets a text message and says, "It looks like I got the account."
An old man appears and says, "Congratulations on your moment."
Hillary, PLEASE drive yourself have your chauffeur drive you (with or without your cell phone) to that field "between King City and Coalingo" and take a L-O-N-G walk through that field. (Be sure to fill up have one of your servants fill your gas tank first.) Pet a cow or two. Resist the urge to whip out that gun yer granddaddy taught you how to shoot if you become hungry for a filet mignon; maybe you could make a have your maid make a PBJ before your departure (you know, the kind of food that more and more of us hard-working white people are forced to rely on in today's economy). Along the way, don't be afraid to step into the very thing that comprises your soul. Take a deep breath (lots of them). Try to place yourself into Barack Obama's shoes (sans cow dung) and explore WHY it is that YOU believe you must control everything -- even when you're the loser. Why is it that YOU think YOU get to dictate the terms of everything, even if you don't have the right to do so?
You have repeatedly said you're "in it to win it." You didn't win it. Now pretend to have some grace and/or just some personal decency and do NOT try to strong-arm the person who DID win it. There are a lot of women who would be good Vice Presidential candidates, all of whom believe in and would be loyal to President Obama, none of them potential orphan-makers.
Take a good, long look at those cows, Hillary. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two about "moments." Hopefully, you'll even learn a thing or two about yourself.

The dems are taking the high road?
What little bubble do you live in and what are you smoking? The dems have had dirty ads just as much as the pubs have. The ad showing McCain's face and scares and talking about his health.....WAY uncalled for. The only reason the dems haven't fully attacked Palin and that church was because they want to keep conservative Bible thumpers in their favor. If they attack Palin for that, they lose the Bible thumpers. They aren't taking the high road....they are just trying to keep voters who they normally wouldn't get.
Heroe..like - He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road.
Bushisms
I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state.
I mean, there needs to be a wholesale effort against racial profiling, which is illiterate children.
See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.
The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production.

There are ALWAYS two ways about everything, gt.
Of course, it takes a reasoning fair minded person to do it. And that is very rare, practically nonexistent anymore. One of William Bennett's best friends is Thomas Sowell. If he is a racist, explain that. You can't, because he isn't. You and others like you do more to divide the white and black peoples of this country. Anything to drive a wedge in and portray the Democratic party as the saviors of the blacks. They don't need saviors, you know. They are perfectly able to fend for themselves. In fact, many blacks are coming to realize that they have been used as pawns by the Democrats. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. And frankly I don't care if you do. Just keep spouting your leftist propaganda. People are listening and they are running the other way. 
That goes both ways...sm
cant have it both ways
Either she is a tough, experienced mayor and governor who has and will face down the big boy club, or else is an novelty, inexperienced candidate who must be sheltered from from reporters. You can't have it both ways.
it certainly does go both ways
If you're a dem, it's obvious what he was saying when you listen to the full context.
If you're repub, it was a freudian slip and he's really a Muslim.
It annoys me when people's opinions are already predetermined based on their views - conservative/liberal.
I usually vote republican, but I have a sister-in-law who is republican and very conservative, and she is so predictable it kills me.
Sad in many ways ...
First of all, it is sad. However, for everyone to jump to the conclusion that it was an Obama supporter is taking things a little too far. All the man said was "I'm going to teach you a lesson." He did not say, "This is because I'm carrying out my crime on behalf of Barack Obama." For all we know, (a) he could simply hate McCain, or (b) it could have NOTHING to do with politics whatsoever. That he "noticed" a McCain bumper sticker is a thoroughly subjective guess on the victim's part, until we hear otherwise in the form of a confession or a direct quote that he attributed it to being an Obama supporter.
No one is to blame for this, however, save the man who carried out the crime. The story should be covered, but with that angle and that alone. One really, really messed up person did a really, really messed up thing. Clearly he was neither emotionally nor mentally stable to be robbing an ATM in the first place.
And, in regards to "there are probably many other people out there who have the same opinion," that's postulating a theory that will only incite more anger and violence.
We let politics divide us far too much. It's so disheartening.
Well he is asking to have it both ways isn't he? sm
To keep abortion legal through all 9 months and to take more of our money as well, right? I do understand that there are reasons people do this and I do believe it is between that person and God. I don't want it to be illegal altogether because I know what would happen with backyard illegal abortions then. However, I do think children should be protected after a certain gestational age, yes.
Oh my. So many ways one could go with that. LOL. nm

You can't have it both ways, you know
If you take a strict constitutionalist, you may be setting yourself up to lose the gay marriage debate. A strict reading of the constitution, without putting any empathy or thought as to what the electorate wants, would simply stop at that "all men are created equal thing", meaning that a man has the right to marry...period. Nowhere does it say what gender he has to marry.
you can't have it both ways
"I didn't say it was always OUR choice in some instances, as obviously most of us don't commit suicide." Another quote from you. I didn't put the words in your mouth. I quoted you. First you say our choices, then you say not our choices but someone else's choices. I don't know if you are cold but I do believe you are awfully self-righteous. Also a bad choice. One for which you will have the opportunity to repent. Another human being was denied that chance, and you seem to be just fine with that because you didn't approve of what he was doing.
Let me count the ways...
1. Behaving as if he had a mandate from day 1.
2. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq and Iraq (this includes everything from the phony buildup to the quicksand of today).
3. Leaving Afghanistan to go to Iraq.
4. Tax cuts for the billionaires.
5. Restoring integrity to the WH??? Libby, Rove, Cunningham, Goss, DeLay, Cheney, Wilkes, Allen, Watergate redux (we are not only replaying Viet Nam, we are replaying freaking Watergate).
6. Staffing his cabinet with old fogies from his Dad and even Ford's time who see the world quite differently from what it has become in reality.
7. Gross incompetence in domestic and foreign affairs.
8. Making the United States a laughingstock.
9. Turning us into a third world country with outsourcing, offshoring, hiring illegal immigrants, importing much more than we are exporting, the glorification of cheap Chinese stuff at Wal-Mart and on and on....
10. Medicare fiasco.
11. Education fiasco.
12. The reuniting of church and state.
13. Job losses.
14. Healthcare fiasco.
I'm just sayin' it goes both ways
I'm sure that you want voter fraud to work in your favor .....jus kiddin'
I didn't say anything about having anything both ways....sm
However, I do agree with the first part of your first comment here:
She is a tough, expereienced mayor and govenror and has and will face down the big boy club. She just did it with Charlie. She will continue to do so. Keep watching.
I called the interview as I saw it.
You called the interview as you saw it.
You think she's a novelty, which is fine, and is your viewpoint.
Two completely different sets of viewpoints.
I think we can agree to disagree, don't you?
Yer always saying we "cant have it both ways", yet
can objectively look at 'both sides' of the issues and parties involved. If WE can't 'have it both ways', then why do you think YOU should?
I think that works both ways -
I think there are a lot of people who will not publicly acknowledge to people that they will vote for Obama, but when the time comes and nobody knows what they really do, they will choose him.
You cannot have it both ways. On one hand you...sm
say he is not doing enough and on the other is is asserting himself and being disrespectful. Which is it? Nothing he does or says is going to be right for you repubs.
Pubs want it both ways....(sm)
Having it Both Ways: Republicans Take Credit For 'Pork' In Stimulus Bill They Opposed
Of course, no one's really surprised, right? I just wonder if the Democratic communications staffers will kick into gear and capitalize on this kind of story:
WASHINGTON — Rep. John Mica was gushing after the House of Representatives voted Friday to pass the big stimulus plan.
"I applaud President Obama's recognition that high-speed rail should be part of America's future," the Florida Republican beamed in a press release.
Yet Mica had just joined every other GOP House member in voting against the $787.2 billion economic recovery plan.
Republicans echoed their party line over and over during the debate: "This bill is loaded with wasteful deficit spending on the majority's favorite government programs," as Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., put it.
But Mica wasn't alone in touting what he saw as the bill's virtues. Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, also had nice things to say in a press release.
Young boasted that he "won a victory for the Alaska Native contracting program and other Alaska small business owners last night in H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act."
One provision would have made it harder for minority businesses to win contracts, and Young explained that he "worked with members on the other side of the aisle to make the case for these programs, and was able to get the provision pulled from the bill."
Yet later in the day Young — who recently told McClatchy that he would've included earmarks, or local projects, in the bill if it had been permitted — issued another statement blasting the overall measure.
"This bill was not a stimulus bill. It was a vehicle for pet projects, and that's wrong," he protested.

It goes MANY ways. For example, I see racism
nm
They want it both ways, Cyndiee.
They don't want the lowest-paid workers to make a decent living wage, and they don't want social services to assist these people either. Their solution to the economic crisis is to have the government pay off their mortgage, so they can buy a big-screen television for their bedroom and put a new deck in the backyard. They talk about McDonald's but, in actuality, they are more like Burger King...they want it their way!
Let me count the ways
1. Really poor choice of Republican presidential candidate (republican lite).
2. George Soros's backing.
3. Mainstream media gave him a complete pass as far as any close scrutiny. Still are, although the honeymoon may be ending.
4. He's gonna fill my gas tank and pay my mortgage.
5. Political correctness.
6. The teleprompter.
7. Etc.
She's trying to save us from our evil ways
:o)
There are other ways to serve one's country
Some are big, and some are small. Just having a job, working hard and staying off welfare is one way. Being a legal immigrant and not an illegal one is another. Donating time and money to charities, philanthropic organizations (even the SPCA) are all little things that serve the greater good. Not committing crimes, voting in elections, working with the PTA, the local soccer team, or participating in 'cleanup day' in your town... those all count, too. I have the greatest respect and empathy for a man who served in the armed forces and suffered at the hands of the enemy. But that doesn't necessarily qualify him to lead the country in these particular times. In another time, perhaps. But not now. He's too old, his time is past, and his ideas (basically the same as Bush's, just painted over to look different) are outdated. They don't address the everyday problems this country and its people face today. His way has been tried, and it's not working very well. (Unless, of course, you breathe the rarified air of the wealthiest communities in the country.) Just about EVERYbody in the country needs a break, small & medium-sized businesses included, and there are ways to do that so that everyone benefits, and yet everyone pulls their fair share of the load.
If the everyday citizen of the country is doing better financially, and if big business is paying its share and not jumping through countless loopholes each tax season, then there's more money to support the country's infrastructure. We have potholed roads, rotting bridges, and our hospital emergency rooms are so overloaded with people with no health insurance, either there for their everyday care, or for the rash of gunshot casualties we have, that many of them have closed their doors.
So yes, it's time for a younger President and a fresh outlook, because what's gone on in the last decade or two has grown very, very stale.
that knife cuts both ways
I am reluctant to say it but...biden wasn't the only one. Palin got in her fair share, too. Take a look at "fact check." They both spun things their own way. That's what is so very sad. They all lie and expect us to swallow their crap like it's gospel and they leave people knowing we can't trust anyone in our own government. I think people now vote not for someone they actually like (because we can't trust them) but for whoever will be the lesser of 2 evils.
That questioning thing goes both ways, ya know.
Racism works both ways
You say your white relative may not vote for a black man but where I live racism is alive and well coming from the black community as well. It is taught to their children, which is very sad, and they bring it into the schools as well.
Sorry, but Kool-Aid works both ways.
You can drink Republican Kool-Aid or Democratic Kool-Aid, it just depends on who is serving it.
Yeah, it works both ways...
What if homosexuality was outlawed???? That would be forcing our views upon the homosexual community and shoving that down their throats!!!! Nobody is doing that as it would obviously be ridiculous and cruel to homosexuals.
The institution of marriage should not be changed, plain and simple. Civil unions fit the bill for G/L, but marriage is only for a woman and a man.
There are other ways of paying taxes.......... sm
than just in your paycheck each week. When the tax goes up on anything, that cost is passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Wait until cap and trade passes and see if you don't pay not only higher utility bills but also higher grocery costs because the cost of the store's utilities increasing.
Okay, so our income tax is not necessarily going up, but the increase on everything else is more than offsetting any small rebate I see in my paycheck. Heck, even ramen noodles went up from 11 cents to 14 cents per package recently. At that rate, I wonder how long I will be able to afford to eat!
Harry Reid wants it both ways, and has tried to play JM...sm
for a fool in this.
Somehow, I think it's going to backfire on Harry Reid.
hope you have a lot of recipes for ways to eat crow
nm
We are alike in some ways - I agree with you totally.
Oh yeah, since I can't be sarcastic with DH here without it turning into a full blown battle, this is where I can be sarcastic. HA HA HA. Like you, if I didn't enjoy it I wouldn't be here. And we have shown that you can be sarcastic without being disrespectful.
I have not always agreed with everything you said but have agreed with others things you say. So seeing as you share some of my viewpoints you can't be all that bad then. HA HA HA (just kidding).
The no-political-stance rule applies both ways
this is not exclusive to just anti-war speakers. To remain non-profit pastors cannot endorse a political party or agenda, eventhough Reverends Jesse and Al do it all the time and they seem to get away with it. There is a church in my area who was threatened with having their non-profit status pulled due to the fact the pastor urged people to vote for Bush. Believe me this is not unilateral nor one sided.
