sake, that you weren't "fully grown" yet - it seems that something has gone terribly awry here in the maturation process. Not much more to say.

I'm shocked!!!!! nm.

I am beyond shocked that you said this.
Do you not know anything about our history? which I am assuming is your own as well? and a woman? For shame :o(
Wow! I am shocked!
Shocked by the feminism on this board! First of all, how do you all know that her husband will be raising the kids?! Last I heard, he had 2 jobs! Second, whoever said she will be home at night, are you kidding me?! Why have the bleeping kids if you don't intend to raise them?! Yes, it IS 2008, and that is the problem! This generation has no sense of family anymore! It's all about the new cars, big house, and toys, etc.! Not about actually RAISING your OWN kids! No, leave it up to a day orphanage to do it for you! I may not have the newest, nicest, or biggest house, but I have raised my kids myself, and darn proud of it! Not leaving it up to a "surrogate" mom! And then these women wonder why their kids get attached to people at the daycare?! Hello?! They see your kids more than you do! I know, I used to work at one! We all like material things, but in the end, when you look back on your life, is that what you want your kids to remember, "We always had everything, but mom was never there." ? There will ALWAYS be time for you to have a career later, but your kids are only little ONCE people! Someday they will leave home, and you will have all the time you want to work! Some people should really listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger! SHE is someone to admire and look up to! I'm gonna go cool off now!
Shocked? Yes
Shocked that pubs think the public is so stupid to fall for their horse and pony show. Shocked they would choose this shrill, annoying fishwife to be "one heartbeat" away from the presidency. I wonder what McCain thinks of that buzzword. He might as well go crawl in his coffin and give it up. More and more lies she is spewing from the pulpit are becoming more and more frequent and will be posted as they continue to add up. Give 'em enough rope, they'll hang themselves. Yes, shocked, indeed. This nation has been dumbed down for the past 8 years and no one can see past their "party." It's not about the truth or issues - it's about party loyalty. How ignorant.
I'm shocked, GP..........sm
on several fronts.
First, you actually watched a video clip! LOL
Secondly, and you said it yourself....."I can imagine that many people want a piece of Obama's pie. " Isn't that a major part of his campaign and his appeal? A slice of pie for everyone....with ice cream on top!
I'm not rich by any means. In fact, if Obama gets the presidency, I will probably get a slice of the pie, according to his plan. I don't think it is right, but then who am I to go against the government of this country? I agree...greed is alive and well and lining up for pie and ice cream, but that's what you get if you elect Obama to office...a country whose larger lower income class will only increase and be all to ready to accept what they are given.
Thirdly........how do we know this is NOT Obama's brother? I have seen many reports circulating on the internet that state Obama's brother lives on $1 a day. He lives in a little village in Kenya for cryin' out loud. I'm sure the allegations are true or very close to true.
How do we know that Obama's aunt does NOT live here....or at least in a housing project just like it....or worse? Apparently, at least his campaign knows where she lives because they have been accepting money from her, an amount that a poor woman living in a slum should probably not be able to afford.
Go forth tomorrow and vote, GP. The sheeple are lining up for the pie and ice cream.
I am genuinely shocked.
No sarcasm here. I don't know how this story missed me, but it did. I googled it and am genuinely shocked at this. Did that liberal MSM cover this angle of Katrina? Because I don't ever remember hearing about it.
Bush really needs a bird flu epidemic in order to silence everyone who disagrees with him. We can't have another terror attack because he has boasted for the last five years that he is the only one who can protect us, so another terror attack would prove he really can't.
What Bush needs is a flu pandemic in the USA. The government already has a huge database of people who disagree with Bush. I wonder how long it will take him to figure out how to restrict the disease to those of us who do.
I am sure that even shocked Ron Paul. sm
I would say he has some fringe support. I do not think he has any control over that, but overall he is uniting people across parties, colors, ages, religions etc. Who else is doing that? Looking for idealistic youth, you will find a lot of them at Ron Paul rallies.
I do not like Tucker either. I have seen posts on other sites that MSNBC is going to or has fired him. Maybe he does not want to be a paid shill anymore. There is even a Save Tucker website.

I was just kinda shocked to see you
would campaign for a known unqualified person for the presidency. I do imagine they wll get around that though one way or the other. He is just what we need for president. NOT.
It should be interesting. I just wonder what kind of deal was "really" made between Obama and Hillary. Unless I miss my best guess she isn't going to play second fiddle to anyone.
Now this is about the...well I'm too shocked to even think of a word
"They'll NEVER really be married"??? Who are you to say this. Are you God? No! Do you know what God truly intends? No! This has to be about one of the most hurtful things I've read. If you believe it that's one thing but to actually come out and write it for everyone to see is a whole different issue.
Your talking as though gays and lesbians are just animals. We are human beings. We have the same rights as every other human being on this planet. Love is the ultimate reality, and no "law" can take that away. I love my partner in sickness and in health til death do us part. No law can take that away. That is reality. Those of you who believe otherwise do not live in the "real" world. You live in la-la land getting brainwashed by all the psychobabble put out by the so called "religious" figure heads.
Those of us in the real world know that laws will not change how we feel towards someone. If I have a child who breaks the law I will still love them even if I have to visit them in jail. That is love, and no law will change that.
This post was so outrageous... "They'll NEVER be really married", "those of us who live in the real world"....please, maybe you should come join us in the real world and stay away from the buildings and weekly brainwashings that teach you this utter nonsense.

I am shocked, where are all your facts?
You always are so insistent on facts and sources. Can you prove the sanity of these people? The number of people making this claim? And, I am sure you did not take out of context his words about the guns?
He's a bit shell shocked and not a stable person
Before you beat me up about that comment let me say this. He is truly an American hero and what he went through was horrific!! BUT - the man aint wrapped too tight. He's a whack job waiting to blow. Strainge fellow.
You bet!! I was SO hoping it would go this way....
she is PERFECT.
Here's hoping
he does not get angry with her in public and call her the "C" word like he called his wife. He is well-known for explosive temper, we must remember.
You could be right, but I am hoping there is not that many demented sm
people out there. I would rather think someone is fixing the numbers up than think we have that many Americans who are haters.
I'm hoping too. Very exciting.

I'm hoping for Romney
s
would much rather see action that hoping a
action speaks louder than words, they say
Well....I'm hoping others thing so too
so McCain gets more undecided votes. LOL! I do believe he is a racist though....no doubt in my mind.
Here's hoping you will find your way
fear and dark foreboding. It does not sound like a very happy place. While erring on the side that change can be good, you may be in for a pleasant surprise.
They are hoping we are stupid....
and THAT's their vision of HOPE.
Hip hop, hip hop, tax cuts to the wealthy way on top, big corps are our friends, forget about the citizens. Yeah, we beat our chest and boast fake tans, cuz we want all the money, screw the little man. So what if we're on the take, let them eat cake. Drivin' my Benz, collectin' big dividends. We hate the poor, shove 'em out the door. No healthcare works well, may their bodies bloat and swell, with the dis-ease of the times, hit 'em with big fat fines. We will collect our swag any way we can, just gotta git rid of that magic black man. Hey, HO
No, here's hoping Obama will undue the...sm
Damage the Bush admin. has done in cutting funding and throwing up roadblocks to anything that doesn't support their "abstinence only" idealogy - which has been a stunning failure though you'll never hear them admit it.
You won't vote for Obama because he's so liberal. I'll vote for him precisely because he is.
Kudo's to you. I was hoping you'd respond
to the tactics of those who try to silence others who don't agree with them.
Mom always told me you don't like the channel change it, you don't have to watch something you don't want to. Same with the posters. If they don't like what you have to say, ignore it and move on.
Life's too short.
Hoping she gets to go back to Alaska
Nov. 4 so that she can keep getting her tans....or therapy for depression, whichever.
Hoping you and Bill M. move there first,

That's why I'm hoping McCain wins. Then - sm
nobody in America will ever ridicule anybody ever again.
Here's hoping Chicago workers' sit-in and
good things to come. As Bank of America acquires Merrill-Lynch (whose CEO has the utter gall to request a $10 million bonus pay-out after the ML sell-out) they are refusing credit to Republic Windows and Doors out of Chicago after receiving $15 billion in TARP funds. The workers are fighting back to recover the pay and benefits they have already earned and their governor is backing them up. Now that's what I'm talkin' about !

keep their eyeballs unpeeled on such screwball organizations.
Yes, I am just hoping that Obama wont end up the
nm
You are right, and I am hoping this may be the natural evolution......sm
of politics in this country. Back in Colonial America, there were the Federalists versus the Rebublican-Democrats, which turned into the "party" system we now have (love your comment about "party!"), big business and big money will always be in bed with the politicians, and that will keep propagating and feeding this political mess, but I have to think if the Libertarian or Independent parties were to have a strong enough candidate with a really well-crafted, timely, imperative platform, we could all vote with our pockets, one voter at at time, to strengthen a three or four-party system over time? Am I just wishing and praying, because I am seeing way too much back-scratching payola going on on BOTH SIDES of the aisles in Congress!
I was hoping to get the shrub out of office...nm

I'm hoping that some in Congress and the Senate
don't let him blindly lead them down that road. We have a national security force now, the National Guard, but of course, they're stuck fighting for our country since the draft was banned.
We need to get back to draft registration like it used to be, then our military will be good and the Guard can stay home and protect us like they're supposed to be doing.
Great! YOU support it. Here's hoping McCain...
gets elected and yanks federal funding for abortions. There are certainly enough of you pro choicers to pay for it. Pro lifers shouldn't have to. Keep sending those checks. See how long Planned Parenthood hawks abortion if they aren't making a killing while they are killing. But, as one of the posters said to me...all of your pro choicers put your money where your mouth is and support the choice financially. Works for me. Send two checks. Send a check every week. Heck, put them in your will. lol.
Not hoping, but AT THIS POINT, WE KNOW OBIE WILL WIN A LANDSLIDE
PARTY
Geez. No. Get a grip. I was sincerely hoping...
that no one ever places you in the position you are placing these babies.
Those are just bones thrown in hoping to pacify
some us who smell something foul. Charges "can" be filed against him again. And for now he is "still in custody." Pretty soon, Gitmo will be closed and they won't have sufficient evidence to refile charges and they will say they have no choice but to release him...
That's my prediction.
Was hoping you were hanging aroud the water cooler.
and of greater importance, this is just yet one more illustration of the judgment deficit that will bring them down in flames. Hat's off to JJ.
Yeah, I am hoping Obama WONT be a disaster.

Yeah, I am hoping Obama WONT be a disaster
See I too can keep repeating like you.
My social security kicks in this April and I am hoping
they have enough left to get me through my life. I am not worried about that basically but I can hardly wait, full retirement age so working, drawing from there- priceless.
Hoping we can save our great country from going down the toilet...sm
and desiring to bring about real CHANGE from a worn out, tired system of doing things, perhaps implementing changes that could save the economy, save the American people who have been hurt by a President who run the country doing "same ole, same ole," watching us crash and burn for someone else to clean up....yes, how DARE anyone run on that platform. The sky if falling, we are all going to sit here and point fingers and cry about it, do nothing or the same things that got us here in the firt place.....now we are going to put down hope and change as a BAD thing because Obama used the words. I guess we will all do nothing and never hope for better.
And I gather that's what you're hoping to happen because you hate Obama.
And hoping for Bush and his daughters and wife to burn in hell is just kidding right? sm
Just want to get this clear.
Good don't guess. It's my guess though.nm

My guess would be
THREE!
guess what
Now you know how it feels, don't you?
That's anybody's guess. sm
But I think it is an educated guess to think most democratic voters in this election were against the war and most republican voters were for the war. Just my guess.
I guess your'e in the 39%
Bush approval rating dips to 39 percent - poll
Wed Oct 12, 9:47 PM ET
President George W. Bush's job approval rating has fallen to a new low of 39 percent in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday.
Bush's approval rating dipped in the poll below a mid-September ranking of 40 percent. The survey also found only 28 percent of respondents believed the country was headed in the right direction, NBC reported.
Bush's political challenges have been piling up in recent weeks, from criticism over his handling of Hurricane Katrina, to growing unease over rising gas prices to conservative discord over the nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Many conservatives are outraged that Bush picked the White House insider with no judicial experience instead of a judge with clear-cut conservative credentials who could be counted on to move the high court firmly to the right.
Twenty-nine percent of people surveyed said Miers was qualified to serve on the highest court in the United States, while 24 percent thought she was not qualified and 46 percent said they did not know enough about her, NBC said.
The poll also found that strong majorities did not believe that recent charges against former House Republican leader Tom DeLay of Texas or a federal investigation of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican, were politically motivated, NBC said.
DeLay has been indicted in Texas on money-laundering and conspiracy charges linked to campaign financing. Frist is being investigated over a stock sale.
With the 2006 congressional elections a year away, 48 percent of respondents said they preferred a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with 39 percent who said they preferred Republican leadership, NBC said.
The 9-point difference was the largest margin between the parties in the 11 years the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had been tracking the question, NBC said.
The poll of 807 adults was conducted from Saturday to Monday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points
where are you? I guess some way
from Houston, too close to it myself! you are right about the crime wave, up just about everywhere. have your kids told you what Sugarland and Ft. Bend County are like now?
Anyway, nobody is going to hire a medical Transcriptionist with 143 days experience on her resume and I don't feel inclined to hire a president with that, either.
Immigration is not the problem; invasion is, lawbreakers are a problem. We just had a pastor on TV in Houston who has had 5 wrecks, all caused by uninsured motorists and that is the least of it. I personally have seen what is happening to our ER's, unfortunately, the media says little about it. I understand 87 hospitals in southern California have folded. No private hospital can withstand the onslaught of all this clinic business. But, of course, the actual clinics designed for this are only open during regular business hours. Well, just a few thoughts of mine.
To Guess Who?
Sam,
Here, here! Couldn't have said it better myself! We ALL have our own personal experiences with illegals. Where is the mention of all the illegals that come here with drugs, and murder and rape our people?! Did I mention the pedophiles?! Just watch the news and it's all over the place! Just yesterday, they were talking about an illegal from Mexico in SanFrancisco that killed a father and his 2 boys, over a traffic incident!!!??? He was part of a gang! He previously was in trouble with the law before, and nothing was done! Now 3 people are dead, and a wife and 2 other children are forever torn apart by this low-life piece of sh*T that couldn't care LESS about life, liberty, and the pursuit!!!! Same story just a few months ago in LA. Another gang member (illegal) shot a young teen and he is now dead! These are just 2 of the MANY stories out there! Even the people that are coming here "for a better life", I can understand that. What I don't understand is them coming here and getting FREE medical, FREE housing, etc. etc. etc.... Why the hell are THEY entitled, but we, as natural-born citizens are not, because we may "make too much money?!" My dad is 62 years old, and probably will work till the day he dies, because he isn't "entitled" to any of this, he doesn't have savings or 401K to fall back on. My husband busts his butt, and pays a LOT of $ every month so that we all have medical, why? so they can come here and drop a kid for free, at the expense of OUR tax dollars?! BS!!! You wanna come here, fine! Then WORK for your OWN medical, housing, food, etc. etc.! I agree with the above, as for the lawbreakers, molesters, murderers, gang-bangers, let them all rot on an island together! And don't come here and wave your Mexican flag, or any other flag for that matter! If you went to other countries with your American flag, you would most likely be shot!
So please, Guess Who, get a grip and a life!
To everyone else, have a lovely day!
Guess what?! At 17, you should not
be having sex! Duh! My mother started working outside the home when I was 12. She gave me VALUES of responsibility, of self-respect, and the consequences of my actions. I never had to be told not to have premarital sex. Unreal! If this stuff was coming out about Chelsey Clinton, you all would be all over it! What a meltdown!
