Yea, right...those anti-war Dems really stepping up
US drones have already bombed Pakistan, so no doubt Obama has already ordered that. The democrats squeal foul play until they're holding the bag and then it's a free for all with those bombs. Funny THEY don't mind bombing anyone. But, of course, Obama lovers will of course be able to justify HIS actions.....they always do. Can't blame this one on Bush.......
not stepping over anyone
or stepping up someone to get there. Do it yourself. It is not my responsibility to supply anyone with wealth. I am all for a helping hand for a limited time. This supporting everyone forever is getting out of control. And the whole "greater good" is a socialist standpoint--no question.
Stepping in here...
I know it's almost 4 months ago, but you do remember what Hannity, Rush, and pretty much every commentator on Fox had to say about the people speaking out about Bush's policies, right? I believe they tossed about the word treason, lack of patriotism, etc., etc. So is there some magical reason that speaking out against a republican president is heresy but speaking out against a democratic one is being American?
And for all the talk about Obama's administration taking away freedoms, the most egregious examples of loss of individual rights occurred under Dubya.
Would you mind stepping aside and

How about stepping out of attack mode for just one sec. sm
You can't even put aside your Bush hatred. You use it to decry a human diaster just a few days old. I picture you perched on the edge of your DE-VAN, head thrust forward, scanning the channels for stories you can plug into the DU, get the info, and post it here. PEOPLE ARE DYING, SUFFERING. What is WRONG with you!!!!
Goose egg...but I'd be willing to pay just to see
loopholes dry up. The sky is falling gains no traction once again. Just doesn't...what's that word?...ah yes, just doesn't resonate with us Joe Shmoes.
goose/gander
Remember the joy on the right when Nat Enq revealed Edwards' tawdry affair. Well check out this week's news. SP was doing the wild thing with her hubby's biz partner, so hubby shut down the biz. How do you spell paternity test?
What's good for the goose is
OK. So what about the other 6 thugs listed in the link and the others that are not shown there, such as convicted criminal Gordon Liddy, for example? Naturally, you are using obsfuscation and deflection to miss the point. The issue at hand is candidates and their friends and associations. Obama has also refuted, explained in excruciating detail, reviewed, reiterated, and rebuked 'til the cows came home, and most Americans chose to "accept that and respect that", just as you have done. That has not stopped fringe hate-mongers from beating dead horses over and over and over and over again, to no avail, unless their underlying intent is that of propelling fellow former defecting republicans over to the other side in droves and driving McC's poll numbers into a deep plunge. Ergo, McCain's refute and rebuke does not count unless it has been run into the ground, resurrected and exercised repeatedly until it achieves equal standing.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. As long as folks keep trying to take issue with Obama and his friends and associates, wildly speculate and draw outlandish conclusions, then McC's friends and associates will also remain fair game and as such, the 6 thugs, Gordon Liddy and many others too numerous to list here in such limited space and time require a league of 24/7 defenders to step up and explain themselves. O camp also has the option to make mountains out of mole hills, take it way beyond the outer limits of logic, call him in and turn him into a Mafioso deadbeat for political gain. You will notice that they do not need to do this to advance their agenda and have not taken that road unless egged into it by these repeated O character slurs.
Ya know what, Silly Goose.........sm
You're not such a silly goose after all.
I agree that, as a public forum, we should be allowed to post what we want (within the realms of human decency) without meeting with ridicule and namecalling.
It may be that, come tonight or tomorrow or whenever the results of the SC decision are posted, I will be wiping egg off my face in order to eat a huge plate of crow (smothered with onion gravy, if you please), but I think the matter does need to be investigated and every person posting here has a right...yes, a constitutional right...to post his or her opinion.
Thank you for putting into a cohesive and coherent manner exactly what I had been trying to say earlier but seemed to have failed so miserably.....that this is still America and that we still have a right to our own opinions.
Yup. A great big goose egg.

What's good for the goose.....
Yes, PBS is funded and believe it or not, is not allowed to slant their view. Why in the world would Bushies want to slay their funding? Hmmmm?
Well....she may well be the one who cooks Obama's goose...LOL/joke...you started it. (nm)

Dems took over?
This really confuses me. It's my understanding that the Dems STILL haven't taken over. They need 60 in the Senate in order to prevent a fillibuster, and as I write this, the Republicans (still in control) are threatening to fillibuster the proposed auto maker bailout/loan legislation. Since the Democrats DO NOT have the majority they need, the Republicans may very well do that.
So please explain to me how the Democrats are in control because I keep seeing this and truly don't understand how that is.
Not trying to start an argument or stir anything up. I truly don't "get it." 
I'm not sure that the dems really
like Bill being interviewed a lot. LOL! He is rather obvious that he is only saying Obama because he is following his political party and that he truly doesn't want Obama as president.
Oh well....for whatever reason Bill said what he did.....it is still nice to hear someone admiring both candidates, saying they are both ready to be president, and not cutting down one party or the other. It was a nice change for once.
I have never seen anything like this. Dems really are
nm
It's been the Dems all along...
Congress is DEMOCRATS you know. The president...Bush now...and O in the future...does not have absolute power! Gah, how hard is that to understand??? But now with a Dem pres and a Dem government...we are all screwed!
That's the dems M.O.
Destroy anyone that gets in their way. I have not found any of the politicans to show they care about the people that make a difference in this country. If anyone steps in, asks questions or tries to get to the truth of the matter their lives are destroyed.

But the Dems would have you believe..........sm
from the cheering teams in Indiana to the crowds in Ft. Meyerss (some of whom did not get in, despite being very close to the front of the line) that the whole nation is in favor of this, that we are all ready to sink another another trillion in debt.
I wonder how many of the dems have
read it? Oh, it doesn't matter, they are going to vote for it anyway, the king has spoken!
Dems
If it this thing doesn't work (which it won't) the dems better start grabbing theirs...
Where are all the sensible Dems?
They fight and carry on just as much as the pubs. They are like children, too. Don't forget, they put a lot of pork in these bills and then cry when the pubs vote against it.
No matter what you say, neither party is working for the people. It's time to vote them all out.
And you don't think the dems would do the same?
xx
That's what I like about some Dems...
soooo classy. And you have the nerve to defame rednecks...LOL. ;)
No - because the Dems know very well what
The intelligence committees of Congress (both House and Senate) have full access to all CIA documents. Members of both of those committees know full well that Pelosi stepped in a cow patty when she called the CIA liars, so this outcome was completely predictable.
What makes this whole thing all the more deplorable is that these are the very same people who were self-righteously calling for similar probes regarding the previous administration just a few weeks ago.
Moral: Be careful what you wish for!
We gotta throw these folks out of office starting in 2010 and continuing until EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM IS GONE.
I know this is somewhat irrelavant since the Dems are going to win
in November. I am an Obama supporter but also a political junkie, so for me it's interesting to try to figure out who McCain is going to pick for VP, even if it doesn't matter in the end.
McCain was on SLN cracking jokes about how old he was. I'll give him points for the self-deprecating humor.
Yep, the dems in congress won't do anything
until they have a dem as president. They know if they do something positive, such as helping us with our oil/energy problem, Bush will get the credit and they won't stand for that.
That is the facts people and it is so unbelievably ridiculous that these people who we vote in and pay 6-figure salaries to won't do their job. It's a huge joke and it scares the crap out of me.
Perfect example of why Dems will win and be in the
Republicans thrive on scare tactics - or at least they THINK they're scare tactics.
A lot of dems voted for the war too....
including Kerry and Hillary and untold others...including your VP candidate, Biden. Can't you tell the truth? What about the truth is so scary to you? You can go on line and see the roll call vote. Many, Many D's there. No war can ever be waged without a 2/3 vote of Congress. War is not a "conservative" thing. What a ridiculous lie. Do you ever go research anything or are you afraid lightning will strike you if you stray from Dem talking points??
I cannot and will not lump all Dems together...
however, several of the group who post here post like this. I don't understand it, because it doesn't follow what I thought democrats were all about. I am not a Republican by the way...am an Independent. I don't owe any party my vote...but I have Democrats in my family and they do not speak like this...
But, I could not say most Dems treat people this way. Just some of these do. :)
Since when did Dems ever let facts

No, you dems just ain't funny.

But the media, the dems, and
all these Obama supporters just sweep that under a rug. They continue to point fingers and blame others and yet they will take no responsibility at all for what they did. They will not give McCain credit for his warning. They will not admit that they ignored that warning. I'm tired of the media having their nose up Obama's ars. They call McCain a coward for wanting to postpone the debate when it was McCain who was pushing for the debate before until this and now he wants to be in Washington to help find a solution. He wants to put the country first instead of his own personal campaign. To me...this says a lot about McCain and yet the dems and the media can do nothing but downgrade. How in the world are we to have a fair election when the media is so obviously one-sided?
At this point, I really don't know that any candidate can get us out of this mess. I guess I've just lost hope all around. As for all those so-called plans Barry Obama promised.....he can't do a one of them....not that they would have worked in the first place but now it is impossible for him to even try. So now what, Barry? What else are you going to promise you will do that you can't deliver on?
SSDD for the Dems
Oh, I know all about her. First it was sad to me that voters don't do their homewordk and just believe what literally any politician tells them just because they're R or D. Savage really educates his audience on the San Franfricko "values" and how horribly corrupt they are out there. Take the Bologna case, where the illegal aliens/gang members who killed this poor woman's husband and 2 sons all in one sweep. There's just one example of the sanctuary city thing for ya.
The best way to educate people is to play their own words back for all to hear. That way I make my point and am not accused of being a right-wing hack.
By the same token, I've been literally wailing over Olympia Snow (snot job), Susan Collins, etc...the queen RINOS. They don't belong in the GOP and they need a royal flush. Hagel finally retired, fortunately.
The drivebys are so complicit in this crap, too. If we put out such a horrible product (like a report with only a small portion of the situation, or twisted it completely around), we'd be fired. These people work for us and only answer to their NE lib journalism pals. There are so many facets to this zirconia it's criminal.
Sometimes I think the republicans are dems in slo-mo....sm
and almost as bad. They can't talk, can't stand up for themselves. Let themselves be run over.
I'm disgusted with everybody on capitol hill.
None of them understand the economy anyway. None of them.
The dems try to make her look
stupid, when in fact she is very savvy — as demonstrated by her negotiations with the oil companies, pushing through a gas pipeline, etc. She is a lady of many accomplishments, unlike the Dem’s PRESIDENTIAL candidate, the big O ( as in ZERO).
Governor Sarah Palin made history on Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office. As the 11th governor of Alaska, she is the first woman to hold the office.
Since taking office, her top priorities have been resource development, education and workforce development, public health and safety, and transportation and infrastructure development.
Under her leadership, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska.
During her first legislative session, Governor Palin’s administration passed two major pieces of legislation - an overhaul of the state’s ethics laws and a competitive process to construct a gas pipeline.
Governor Palin is chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. She was recently named chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which is charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management. Prior to being named to this position, she served as co-chair of this committee.
Prior to her election as governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor/manager of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business friendly environment, drawing in new industry.
She has served as chair of the Alaska Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska’s most valuable non-renewable resources: oil and gas. She was elected by her peers to serve as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. In this role, she worked with local, state and federal officials to promote solutions to the needs of Alaska’s communities.
The bottom line is that she is running for VP. Obama is running for president and his own running mate said he didn't have enough experience.
And the O supporters, dems,
and left-wing media don't just repeat what they see and hear? LOL! Oh please. Half of the Obamanation supporters spout exactly what Obama says and only seeing the promise of change.....which I might add....WON'T HAPPEN. Obama can't do anything he promises and if he does.....our country will be totally FUBARed (f*cked up beyond all recognition).
Oh, so this is why the dems are for gay marriages.

Not everybody hates him. Just dems who don't
