At least I am smart enough to know
tanks, but no thanks, on that 4 more years.
Then you were one of the smart ones.
Too bad everybody else had dreams of home ownership. Again, I say, it was the lenders who screwed everybody, promising them the moon, when they knew darn well they couldn't afford it. It's a shame some people don't use common sense.
B-U-tiful....and smart, too!

book smart isn't everything
I've known a lot of educated people who don't know a thing about real life. Need some life experience and common sense to go anywhere.
I'm smart enough to know who is leading
smart enough to read an electoral map, smart enough to recognize the #1 campaign issue, smart enough to know that only losers will ignore the ecoomic meltdowm, and smart enough to give O my vote.
Smart girl.

Well, I don't need Obama's help as if he is so smart
nm
when you claim you are so smart
it gives quite the opposite impression. When you brought up your intelligence, claiming to have an abundance, you opened it up for discussion, and my fellow MT, i take issue with you lording it over me and others.
Oh come on. Dems are smart enough to see through...
those things, AREN'T they? lol.
My parents were smart like that too.
My dad worked for GM for 30+ years and retired in his 60s only because he wasn't capable of working anymore. They paid off their house. They had one credit card that they paid off every month if they used it. Dad had cash in the bank, stashed in other places, etc. Now my dad has been gone for almost 2 years now and my mom is living in her paid off house by herself. All that hard work that my father did to make sure that she would be taken care of after he was gone and now GM is doing horrible. Not sure what will happen to my mother's healthcare through GM or the pension my father worked so hard for. It is truly a shame if his blood, sweat, and tears of 30+ years didn't amount to anything.
A lot of younger people nowadays don't know what it is to work for what you have. Everyone wants things given to them now and that is a huge reason why I have a problem with welfare. It doesn't help the people who really need a hand up. All of these government assistant programs will do nothing but make people more lazy and dependent on others to give to them. I'd rather work for what I have and tell the government to leave me the heck alone, but that is just me.
The average American has 10K in credit card debt and think that is just sad. My DH and I have one credit card and we pay it off every month. The only thing we owe on is our house and it sucks that I'm terrified about losing it because the economy is so bad when my DH and I have been nothing but responsible with our money. We just keep plugging along and hoping that DH's job isn't one of the ones on the chopping block. If we keeps his job, we will be okay. However, if he doesn't, especially with a new baby on the way, we are in deep sh!t!
just being smart alecky here, but
maybe trying to shed any bad publicity they have earned, or maybe just to get global like their favorite son.
Project Vote Smart sm
Here is just one site and it is pretty detailed. Hope it helps. I also recommend learning about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) to learn about the role they play in our political system and the media. They do have an impact on what candidates are selected and get a lot of press coverage, while others are hidden and smeared, Dennis included. All the frontrunners are members. I am doing volunteer work with one of the campaigns, and getting quite an education on the dirt in politics. Here is the link to Project Vote Smart:

I agree that Hillary is smart...
I don't think anyone could dispute that. Not so sure I would call her perky...lol. Katie Couric is perky and you talk about polar opposites...lol.
Knowledgeable? Yep. But from someone who lived for years in the home turf...and all the stuff that went on when Bill was governor and carried on to Washington...just can't trust her. And talk about a dupe...that is what Bill is for her. With all his warts, I do feel sorry for him...lol. I would like to trust her, especially if she wins the election...would be nice to be able to feel some degree of comfort. But I just can't. What I see most lacking in her is that I cannot see much humanness, for lack of a better word. She is like a machine. And, frankly, I have no clue what this woman really feels and thinks at her core. Even before Monica there was no affection between the two of them. For all George's faults, it is obvious Laura loves him and that shows. His kids love him, and that shows. When you see Bill and Chelsea...they look like business acquaintances. It is even cooler with Chelsea and Hillary. I would like to see some humanness. Don't know really how else to describe it.
And the reason is...how a person really feels in their core is what they act on, no matter what they have said to get elected. Definitely no warm and fuzzy about Hillary. And anyone with the kind of power that the Presidency wields should definitely have compassion and sensitivity about them.
I would like to like her. I would like to trust her. But I don't....
Sam is not smart...she is just annoying and persistent.
She is a legend in her own mind!
Sorry, Sam...this fish is too smart to take your bait!
I will just keep swimming in the opposite direction and let you look for other fish to catch!
McBush not looking 2 smart for choosing her...
First of all Palin is *not* stupid, she's just not ready - and might never be ready.
She should be commended for stepping up when the GOP machine came calling. McBush picked her because he was pressured to, and probably because the other experienced GOP contenders said, 'uh, think I'll pass.'
And the media IS taking some good swipes at her - after all she baited them to do so a bit in her speech. Note to Palin: You weren't just trying to win over the GOP delegates in your first speech to the world, you were trying to win us *all* over. You should have skipped the cutesy/snarky...
Just NOT smart enough to NOT follow the sheeps

Only a moron would say Palin is smart because sm
you don't know any better and do not possess the mental skills to discern how inept Palin is.
Seemingly a smart chicken...:) (sm)
No 401 K here. I'm even more chicken. What money I have saved I've put in guaranteed CDs. It hasn't made much, but at least it's still there. Yeah, I'm feeling lucky.

Really, I am smart and one has to choose wisely on what to use one's braincells.....
I think I stop for now with my postings. I do not want to get into flaming and I feel that it might come just to that, if you start questioning my intelligence if I do not read pagelong, useless links put on this board.
Yep. She has smart and has guts. Leftists hate her.

Knew such smart people here could just get by with (sp?) and guess what?
it worked.
The sticks and stones were the smart-A (aleck, not a$$)....
remarks at the end of the post...ending in...chief. No need for that. And it does not matter how many times these folks (same folks who would DIE before claiming Bush as THEIR President...LOL) tell me Barry from Chicago is MY President...in my mind and heart he is not, and they are preaching to the choir. But if that makes their day....yippee. Maybe they can meet MSNBC Chris and they can sing Obama's praises and get those tingles up their legs...lol.
I think the vanity fair cover was not a smart thing for her to do...sm
even though she wore a scar and big glasses.
No, shallow Sally. Repubs are smart, but lefties

Are you kidding? (sm)
He never had any cheese on his cracker! All that clown needs is a room with mirrored walls and he'd be happy!
Who are YOU kidding?
You don't want to interrupt our so-called "Bush hate-fest with facts"????
Number one, you THRIVE on this. You thrive on spouting your drivel, fighting and spreading your venom. You need it like a fish needs water. You can't survive unless you spread your evil hatefulnes all over this board. You're not satisfied with a respectful, reasonable debate. You're not happy unless you're personally stomping someone who disagrees with you into the ground.
Number two, the entire issue involved with this thread IS "FACTS." An increasing number of Americans want to know what the truth is, and they're bright enough to realize they've been fed a bunch of lies by the idiot in the White House. You people are so adverse to the truth, you wouldn't be able to identify a fact if it hit you between the eyes.
I realize that you're energized and  over the fact that you've got a fight going here.
You have no compelling point of view. All you know how to do is insult and call people names. You don't have the ability to intelligently debate any issue. You're nothing more than message board thugs. I personally am very uncomfortable stooping that low, and from now on, I refuse to read and/or respond to any of your posts, and I would urge the thoughtful, respectful, intelligent people who frequent this board to do the same and NOT give you the conflict that you thrive on.
Take it back to the cesspool you call home: The Conservative Board. Isn't that what you've repeatedly promised to do, anyway, LEAVE?? Once again, your word has just as much value and credibility as Bush's. It's easy to see why you worship him. You share the same "values."
I don't know that it was kidding, but it's quite different.
But I'm sure you knew that. I could take the time to explain how these are two very different threats/comments from a legal as well as common sense standpoint but it it would fall on deaf ears. Not playing this game with you anymore. If you want to pretend to be ignorant, go ahead. Just not sure why you'd want to do it in public.
You ARE kidding, right?
You never heard of TRAVELGATE?!!!!!? Oh, well, people's lives were only ruined. People who had worked in the travel office under many different administrations. You know, people like you and me, just average Joes. Until Clinton cronyism ruined their lives. Gosh, how come you people don't know this stuff? That's really amazing. And disturbing.
You have got to be kidding, right?
Those comments the other night weren't particularly disturbing. They were a bit crass at times, and the John Willkes Booth comment was a bit coarse and probably a bit over the top.....but overall they were quite amusing. I even saved one posting because it was HILARIOUS. Okay, probably not hilarious to the conservative board, I do realize that. But after watching these dreadful playground bullies beat up on everyone on that board that didn't spew their propaganda there was some sort of justice in those posts that appeared. Sort of a karmic get-even thing. I am so glad that I got to read all of them that particular evening.
Reading the other board is kind of like passing a gruesome car accident. You don't want to look, but yet you can't resist.....and you never know how awful it's going to be. Human nature, I guess.
Your kidding right...??...sm
While this is not at the top of my list, a sitting president who was not elected by the people is nothing to say 'oh well' about.
I have always favored the popular vote over electorial votes. All electronic so swinging chads are not an issue.
You got to be kidding.
All day and night long, Bush used it as a political statement, beginning with Cheney and Rice on the Sunday talk show circuit and ending with a neocon made for TV movie that tried to pin the blame for 9/11 on Clinton.
Are you kidding?
213,000 refugees in 2004 and 801,000 in 2005 - I guess all this liberty/democracy/newfound security is just too much for some Iraqis, so they have to leave their country. ???????????????
Baghdad Empties as Residents Flee to Safety
Major Exodus Sends Hundreds of Thousands of Iraqis to Jordan, Syria
By JIM SCIUTTO
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 18, 2006 — - Iraqi officials insist that the government's security plan shows signs of success, but hundreds of thousands of Iraqis express a different view -- by leaving the region in hordes.
Baghdad's passport office is overrun with people trying to leave the country. On a recent afternoon, a car bomb went off just outside the gates, killing nine people.
Inside an official tried to calm the crowd, saying this happens all the time. The attack was one more reason for resident Kaiss Warash to want to leave Iraq.
I'm tired of life here, he said.
Visit bus stations in Iraq's capital and it's clear many feel the same as Warash. By some estimates, this is now the largest movement of refugees in the world today, with most of the fleeing people going to neighboring Syria and Jordan. And the pace of the movement has accelerated. In 2004, 213,000 Iraqis fled the country. Last year that number rose to 801,000.
There is persecution going on of religious minorities, of professionals … and of course Shia or Sunni, said Lavinia Limón of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. People are actually told if you don't leave we're going to kill you.
The drain is worst among professionals. An estimated 40 percent of the country's professionals have left, and Baghdad's main hospital is now experiencing a dangerous shortage of trauma surgeons.
Unemployed but Safe
Across Baghdad, in some areas quiet streets and vacant homes are an eerie testament to the exodus.
In Jordan entire neighborhoods of Iraqi refugees have sprung up. In Jordan they can walk the streets safely again, but many can't work legally.
One refugee told us, I don't have a job here … but there's nothing better than security.
And so many keep leaving, hoping some day it will be safe to come home.
