I get sick of hearing that all the time. I guess you could say I am a person sort of in the middle, more conservative than liberal, but I do look at EACH issue when deciding who I feel is the best candidate. Before Fox was around, were there ANY middle-of-the-road TV news networks?  And, by the way, to act as if Fox is strictly conservative/republican is so unfair. I watch different networks. Fox happens to give views from all sides, not just the left, therefore, they are a bunch of republicans?  gee... Well, someone is watching them since they seem to kill the other cable networks most of the time in the ratings.

And... Hillary, I personally thought I could never stand you, but "you go girl"!  She never gives up. There are times I think the Clintons go too far (well, many times), but you can't say she is not tough. She is NOT just Bill's wife.

Oh, and almost forgot, I would never argue that Rush Limbaugh is not a conservative all the way... he most definitely is. However, for a long time, radio seemed the only outlet for conservative talk?   I mean, TV and of course the major newspapers were all liberal media.  Liberal radio shows have not done very well, thus the "fairness doctrine".   That is ridiculous. It things don't go your way.. "there must be a law to make this fair...waaaah waaaah"  I guess that is a reason why I tend to be more right than left. I prefer the govt stay out of my life as much as possible.

Also, I am with Sam about a comment on the board about healthcare. I work in the healthcare industry (not just MT work). Sure, we have our problems, but I hear so many horror stories about people in other countries not being able to get care, and would do just about anything to get to the USA for treatment. For you people who want to move to Canada, well, I have friends there. Their wait time to see doctors, to have testing done.... probably 4 to 5 times our wait. I am not talking days, but sometimes many months.

It was inadvertent, but still funny that he is such a dodo.  Was going to post the link on Wonkette, but there was a curse word on that page, and did not want the 3 Bush supporters over on the other board to get their undies in a knot.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party.

The night was split into two glitzy events, a reception and dinner costing $28,500 each at the Greystone Mansion, followed by entertainment by Streisand at the nearby Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. About 250 people were expected at the dinner and about 800 at the entertainment, which cost $2,500 a ticket.

It was a day of contrasts for Obama. Earlier in the day, the Democratic presidential candidate spoke about the public's deepening economic anxieties and portrayed Republican challenger John McCain as out of touch with the needs of hardworking people.

Then he flew to California for a night of hobnobbing with Hollywood notables.

McCain groused about Obama mixing it up with celebrities. He told a rally in Vienna, Ohio on Tuesday that Obama "talks about siding with the people, siding with the people just before he flies off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than here with the working men and women of Ohio."

A night earlier, McCain was with deep-pocketed donors in Florida and raised $5 million, a fact noted by Obama's campaign.

"I don't know who showed up down in Florida where he raised $5 million but my guess is that it wasn't a lot of nurses, firefighters and police officers," Obama's senior strategist, David Axelrod, told reporters. "The whole corporate lobbying community is rallying to his side. We're going to have to struggle to keep pace. You can't challenge that group and not expect them to have a lot of money."

While the final total was not determined, Obama's campaign did not dispute estimates that the twin events would bring in $9 million for Obama and the Democratic Party. That would be his second-biggest, fundraising day. Obama received $10 million from online donors the day after McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, delivered her speech at the Republican convention.

On another big fundraising night in California, Obama raised $7 million in August in San Francisco.
Obama is financing his presidential race with private contributions after abandoning a pledge to take public financing capped at $84 million. His campaign announced Sunday it had collected $66 million in August, a fundraising record for any presidential candidate in a monthlong period.

By comparison, McCain raised $47 million in August, a personal best for his campaign as well. After claiming the GOP nomination, McCain accepted the $84 million in taxpayer funds allotted by the public financing system for the race.

This is getting ridiculous.

Obama Chooses Sotomayor for Supreme Court Nominee
By Jeff Zeleny

Ron Jordan Natoli Studio/U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, via Associated Press

U.S. Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor. President Obama will nominate Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit as his first appointment to the court, officials said Tuesday, and has scheduled an announcement for 10:15 a.m. at the White House.

If confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, Judge Sotomayor, 54, would replace Justice David H. Souter to become the second woman on the court and only the third female justice in the history of the Supreme Court. She also would be the first Hispanic justice to serve on the Supreme Court.

Conservative groups reacted with sharp criticism on Tuesday morning. “Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important than the law as written,” said Wendy E. Long, counsel to the Judicial Confirmation Network. “She thinks that judges should dictate policy, and that one’s sex, race, and ethnicity ought to affect the decisions one renders from the bench.”

The president reached his decision over the long Memorial Day weekend, aides said, but it was not disclosed until Tuesday morning when he informed his advisers of his choice less than three hours before the announcement was scheduled to take place.

Mr. Obama telephoned Judge Sotomayor at 9 p.m. on Monday, officials said, advising her that she was his choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. Later Monday night, Mr. Obama called the three other finalists — Judge Diane P. Wood of Chicago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Solicitor General Elena Kagan — to inform them that he had selected Judge Sotomayor.

White House officials worked into the night to prepare for the announcement, without knowing who it would be.

Judge Sotomayor has sat for the last 11 years on the federal appeals bench in Manhattan. As the top federal appeals court in the nation’s commercial center, the court is known in particular for its expertise in corporate and securities law. For six years before that, she was a federal district judge in New York.

In what may be her best-known ruling, Judge Sotomayor issued an injunction against major league baseball owners in April 1995, effectively ending a baseball strike of nearly eight months, the longest work stoppage in professional sports history, which had led to the cancellation of the World Series for the first time in 90 years.

Born in the Bronx on June 23, 1954, she was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 8. Her father, a factory worker, died a year later. Her mother, a nurse at a methadone clinic, raised her daughter and a younger son on a modest salary.

Judge Sotomayor graduated from Princeton University summa cum laude in 1976 and and attended Yale Law School, where she was an Editor of the Yale Law Journal. She spent five years as a prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney’s office before entering private practice.

But she longed to return to public service, she said, inspired by the “Perry Mason” series she watched as a child. In 1992, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan recommended the politically centrist lawyer to President George H. W. Bush, making good on a longstanding promise to appoint a Hispanic judge in New York.

On the Circuit Court, she has been involved in few controversial issues like abortion. Some of her most notable decisions came in child custody and complex business cases. Her most high-profile case involved New Haven’s decision to toss out tests used to evaluate candidates for promotion in the fire department because there were no minority candidates at the top of the list.

She was part of a panel that rejected the challenge brought by white firefighters who scored high but were denied promotion. Frank Ricci, the lead plaintiff, argued that it was unfair he was denied promotion after he had studied intensively for the exam and even paid for special coaching to overcome his dyslexia.

The case produced a heated split in the Circuit Court and is now before the Supreme Court.

What an evil, hateful, intolerant, ignorant person, but that explains the following he has with some on these boards.  Birds of a feather stay together.  Maybe it makes them feel more powerful somehow.  If they weren't so hateful, I might even feel sorry for some of these poor misguided souls. 

There seems to be an increasing movement of hate and intolerance in this country, wrapped around the Bible and the flag, neither of which is undeserving of such sacrilage by people who claim to love God and country. 

It's becoming scarier every day to be an American who (1) might not belong to the "right" religion (no pun intended), (2) who thinks that Bush is taking us backwards in time, and (3) who supports our troops by wanting them to come home to their families safe, alive and intact, and to only be used when absolutely necessary, not at the whim of a president who has lies and who can't be trusted.

Who said anything about Jesus?  Maybe I'm a Jew! 

If you go to Rush's w/s, you'll see his "official Obama criticizer," aka "Bo Snerdley."

And speaking of the Jews, it was a Dem. strategist who made the comment in FL that the Jews wouldn't vote for a black man.  That may well be on Rush's w/s as well.  Even Rush hadn't heard that one.

Y'all just make this way TOO easy  too much fun for me!

If you actually studied this stuff you'd know what you're talking about.  Even Greta played the soundbyte of what he said.  It was printed on his web page, and is probably still there. 

I don't have time to get into having studied this literally all my life.

Regardless, if you think that having a Socialist in the White House is the answer and that border security means nothing, then vote away for one.  Ironically, the person who wrote the book "Real Change" before Obama picked it up as his buzz word was Newt Gingrich.  You may have no idea who he even is.

Try looking at JusticeOnTheBorder.com or EyesOnTheBorder.com if you want to compare what Obama & Clinton said about opening our flood gates even more as they pandered to all the illegals. 

You probably also had no idea that he has over 20 million listeners daily.  Literally nobody can touch him.  When you're on top, they always try to topple you. 

Rush is NO racist.  Even so, there's no law against it, whether it be black against white, white against black, etc.

I can't even believe when read things like this. 

Have a nice day.

Did anyone hear R. Limbaugh's comments?  I only caught part of it, but it sounded like he was talking about liberals as though we are satan or something.  "You can't let them do this, or you can't let them do that".  All the time saying "them" like it's a dirty word.  Years ago I used to like him.  Now he disgusts me.   Now more than ever do we need a democrat president - just so I can see their faces and hear them whine.....oh wouldn't that be good.

no meaningful dialogue, just name-calling. 

hero of the great unwashed said SP was a "babe", "could wear a skirt", had "definable ankles."   I thought sexism was sexism whether complementary or derogatory.  I'll know more after my bath.

There Is No Crisis--Summary by: Chris BowersTue Sep 23, 2008 at 16:22

Things are getting a little suspicious about this crisis.

1) Why did the Bush administration suddenly declare a crisis during the final two weeks when Congress would be in session during his presidency? Is it maybe because, after the election, Congress would know it wasn't dealing with Bush anymore?

2) If this is such a sudden crisis, why is it that the Bush administration was drawing up the plan for this bill for months beforehand?

3) Why is it that Congress is supposed to bail out many banks and firms that are actually quite successful and profitable right now, and not just those that are failing?

4) Why is Paulson blatantly lying to Congress about oversight?

5) Where did the $700 billion figure come from?

6) Why is Paulson urging that debate on the matter be held after the legislation is passed?The burden of proof should always be placed on those who are demanding a huge government bailout, not upon those who are skeptical that one is needed. And yet the questions keep mounting, with no answers in sight.

I am not saying that there is no need for government intervention. I am saying that the case for a $700 billion bailout is far from having been made. Until the case is made, there is no need to go forward. We will elect a new President in 42 days. We swear in a new Congress in 103 days. What is the rush? Why does this all of a sudden need to be done while the Bush administration is still in charge? The case hasn't been made, and answers are slow in coming, if they come at all. Chris Bowers :: There Is No Crisis--Summary

The whole point of his show is to create controversy.  Rush isn't just to the right....he's beyond right field.  So, Gingrey had to grovel and apologize to Rush because he disagreed with him and ticked off his *base.*  So, now we know who the *base* is.  I was actually expecting that, and I personally hope it stays that way.  It makes it easier for dems to win elections. 

The funny thing to me is that Obama just mentioned Rush's name in what I took to be a joke.  The pub party is so desparate for leadership that they took it to heart and managed to elevate Rush to a position of supposed power.  Good luck defending Rush's background.....the drugs, the comments, etc.....ROFL.

Unless I missed something, I find it unbelievable that so many here either missed Rush on Saturday at CPAC.  FNC ran it.  I found out (as did Rush) that CNN streamed it, as did CSPAN.  While I haven't looked any other places for what I've heard (and have known for years), Townhall.com has a plenty there. 

Of course, the drivebys will still try to miss the boat on who conservatives are, either by stupidity or by wanting us to (continue to) appear as something we have never been.  Of course, Rush has the entire transcript on his home page.

Where do the majority of these other posters around here get their news?  Wow.

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

"The difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is that yogurt comes with less fruit. "

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." --on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?" --on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal

"And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs,
using drugs, importing drugs.  And the laws are good
because we know what happens to people in societies and
neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if
people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought
to be accused and they ought to be convicted and
they ought to be sent up."

"I am addicted to prescription pain medication."

"Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population.

Awesome leader you have there!
