if you can't see that this org has a very specific goal, recruit young people to the republican party, and not to function as a recruiting arm of the Military then your blind hatred of anything conservative is just to broad to have any sort of debate.

if anything has come clearly into focus during these primaries, nothing has come clearly than this.

When under fire or pressure, Obama has acted/said/done exactly what every other politician has done.

He is cut from the same exact cloth as any other politician.

this is why Obama won't work.

are real issue, is what usually makes a great politician doesn't necessarily make for a great leader.

Member,

I think there is a difference when it comes to writing, and blog posting.

also I am assuming that they also mean that they don't even know they made the error....I'm sure when you typo a post, as soon as you see it, you know it.

I don't normally agree with Corky here but...

Has Obama always mentioned all the remaining Primaries every time he has spoken? Was he quitting if he didn't?

I could make up a headline and as long as it was pro obama at least half the folks here would buy into it for no other reason than it fell into their preconceived notion.

Did you read the mission statement on any of those sites?

in a nutshell they basically exist to try and help get republicans elected.

they're a political entity, you're really reaching here.

In an effort to avoid offending anyone no one will ever do or say anything ever again

"as a policy you support to protect you from the voter fraud you talk about, but can't substantiate, has denied these nuns their vote"

No, their own laziness or ignorance denied them their vote.

A Democracy or Republic requires active participation by its constituents...

if I "didn't know the date/location/time of where and when to vote, and someone didn't come to tell me personally and pick me up on the day and take me by the hand....was I denied my right to vote?

NO, it was my responsibility to know where and when and have transportation in place....

just like it was their job to know about needing an ID and getting one.

I'm going to write my own name in, I certainly couldn't do any worse

MoneyWar,

try thinking beyond WV and what the larger picture is, he has beaten her handily in any state recently and it's been over for a while.

try being honest, and actually discuss the actual fact that he as a problem he needs to address.

thanks LCL for the reminder, I have to make an appointment with my allergist, no joke.

wow, respect all opinions...as long as they agree with yours...

else they're dumb hicks, nice.

and....

"winning this big"

he's not even winning this state, he's stumbling to the finish line, actually collapsing before it as neither he nor she can secure enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination....

but since he is the presumptive nominee (rightfully so) he should be destroying her now, and he's not.

Reznwerks,

I can see your point if this were early in the race, but what you didn't comment on is that at this point she cannot win the overall nomination (not without some absolutely astounding events) yet still continues to run neck and neck, and in someplace way out in front of him.

Usually when a nomination is all but sewn up, people start to vote for the winner.

you didn't comment on that aspect...Barack is losing to the loser, that has to be somewhat unsettling if viewed objectively.

MW,

you don't think that losing states to a someone who cannot beat him isn't a situation? You don't think that he and his team aren't discussing how at this time he needs to appear strong, while losing states doesn't accomplish this?

ok, enjoy the Kool-Aid, it's much tastier than an honest intellectual debate.

but I am sure you would like to think he does

why is that? never said I was for or against Hillary, Barack, or McCain.

I'm merely commenting on what I perceive as a fact.

Losing states to someone who cannot beat you, this late in the game, when he should be entering the end game phase cannot be good for him.

So, you've stated that this isn't a situation for him.

WHY? back it up.

Jon,

I tend to agree with you, but please tell me how Porn run amok will become as Hazardous as cigarettes?

plenty of cracks about my misspelling of Baracks name....but not even one attempt to try and debate situation Barack faces:

He's the defacto nominee, mathematically Hillary cannot pass him for pledged delates. People don't like to "throw away votes" and normally start voting for whomever is viewed as the one who will win. Yet she continues to run strong against him, to the point where she will most likely to continue to win states.

What does that say about him?

Anyone want to actually take a crack at that one? or would you prefer to point out typos in a blog?

yeah Betelgeuse, takes a lot wit to comment on a typo on a blog.

what about the content of the post... You're obviously a Barack supporter, so go ahead...Tell me how a candidate that has no chance of winning at this late stage of the nomination is able to pull such high numbers against him?

"Anyone who votes for Hillary now, is just throwing their vote away."


exactly...

and yet they do, what does that say about BO?

in most elections a lot of the voters really don't know much about the candidates, a lot of people vote for the assumed winner, because they don't want to waste their vote...

yet Barak can't secure a blow out win at this point even though there's no real way he could lose...

what does this say about Barak?

I can't say for certain, but I know that it isn't anything good.

"Stick a Cork in her, she's done."

I think you left the Y off

This is a link to a Dilbert cartoon right? with a typo....it was supposed to be Elbonia?

I seriously don't have a horse in this race... so I feel safe saying...

"Obama has shown he can think on his feet"

you've got to be friggin' joking right?

Hagbard,

I should? I don't know that...

I'd be interested to see how that plays out in reality, I wonder if those numbers are available

absolutely agree...

I'll offer that on the whole, there aren't too many people squeaking by the entrance criteria and turning around to graduate tops.

There's probably the exceptions to that rule out there though, but not in the numbers that would put the example at too much risk.

Great article, at no point did it ever actually say what was being voted for....just references to Mom.

alternate headline:

NFL: videos show exactly what we already knew and had been admitted to

hahaha, ooops

yes, thanks...minor error there, you obviously were able to see to what I meant though.

Murphy,

calling Asians in general oriental is offensive...not just Asian-Americans

how is that ridiculous

what is ridiculous is the whole *-American

how would I refer to my friend from Jamaica....he's not African-American, but I've heard people refer to him that way.

"o the fuck what if they lowered the standards to help disadvantaged minorities"


So in a situation where and intelligence on the part of the firefighter or office may be the deciding factor in whether you live or die you'd be just as happy with them sending the the officer/firefighter who got the job because they lowered the standards or the officer/firefighter who was able to pass the tougher tests on their merits?

just curious


if you ever need surgery do you want the doc that got into law school based on high grades or the one that wouldn't have been excepted based on grades but got in due to a quota.


I know which ones I want.

hey Bob,

I thought RCade frowned on 'signing' ones posts...

but if you do you should put a comma and not a period

so you should have put

idiot, and not idiot.

you'll get it though keep trying.

Clinton: Whites Like Me Better

I thought black guys liked the big butts, I'd have thought she'd be proclaiming the opposite ;)

Reading Deathspuds post a few entries back is reminiscent of "The Two Towers" scene where Gollum and Smeagal go back and forth with the two personalities fighting it out.

I just got sexually molested at the gas pump...please tell me how this is war for oil? not saying it isn't but I could use a review.

JonR

I'll agree with you there...if someone came along...put nothing down...got a nice 3 year arm around 3-4% and are now not able to afford it...then you are right, they basically paid rent and shouldn't be bailed out.

I was viewing it from my perspective...I could have sold my house, bought a bigger one (which I need as the family has grown) and now be looking at loosing a house AND all the equity I'd brought into it with a fat down payment.

as with all issues there are complexities...would seem that there should at least be some criteria to meet before aid is given. As the two above examples show, some people would be losing everything and some people would have basically had cheap rent in a nice house for a few years. There's a difference there.

"That would explain Rush Limbaugh's attempts to help Hillary."

Danni,

exactly...Rush isn't trying to help Hillary win, just stay in it as long as possible...the longer this cluster F of a nomination process takes, the weaker she is making him for the General Election. At least that's the thinking behind it.

I wonder if Michelle Obama is proud of this country :)

yeah, tough to defend 30 days out.

do what you want in your own time, but it's obviously effecting her job performance.

unless there is some other factors at play...the article didn't exactly go digging, it's a fluff piece.

--Seems he's a better man than most of y'all.

-So is she.


it has been said that if Hillary could give one of her testicles to BO, they'd both have two then.

good she's going to pose, or good she was fired?

what someone is doing on their own time, is their own business.

I doubt that any of her students were attending these fishing trips...if my sons teacher worked as a stripper in her spare time....oh well, I know he's not going to be going there...she can do what she wants. As long as she if fully prepared to do her job, does it well, I have no problem.

"The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill could help 500,000 homeowners at a cost of $1.7 billion through 2013."

So this will cost me a dime.

but...

I consider myself a moderate, socially more lib, financially more conservative...usually those two together adds up to keeping the gov't out of my life, and hopefully out of others.

key word there, normally. It's sorta like 'Standard Operating Procedures' what are the procedures for Non-Standard Times?

I'd view this as a non-standard time, and my standard views will most likely not apply.

This problem is too big, and it's effects to far reaching for all those involved to 'learn their lesson', but it shouldn't have to come all from the taxpayers, both for Bear Sterns and the Homeowners.

time for wild speculation as this is not my deepest area of knowledge, but it would seem that since Sterns was bailed out, and is in a position to do business, that there should be a way for them to refi the loans for these folks in a fashion where they don't profit, and lendee's don't end up with a better deal on their fixed 30 than I got by being responsible and staying in my home and a mortgage I could afford, and not trading up 'because I could'.

2209 MILF's!!!!

oh MI FL, Michigan and Florida, nevermind, thought we had an interesting article for a second.

disclaimer: I'm not a Hillary supporter, in fact with this group of clowns I can't claim to be supporting anyone.

but. if the rules of the party state, that to be the nominee, you have to win ...what is it now? 2024 pledged delegates.

Hillary cannot meet that number....so she doesn't win.

BUT

Barak cannot meet that number either....so he doesn't win right?


the rules carry on from there ... but at this point why really should she drop, she can't and he can't win....and they have process of voting from there. These are the rules they produced, and the process they created...why is she wrong for playing by them?

I think the whole SD gig is ridiculous to start with, but isn't the point of the whole system so that the SD's are in place to override the results of the nomination process?

now leave it open to debate if this woman is voting because she's getting a kickback, or because she thinks Obama can't win in the general, but if the Dems didn't have a "everyone gets a trophy" mentality of a nomination system with no winner takes all states then this situation wouldn't even exist.

The problem Danforth...

when the Reps had the Senate Majority

how many times did anyone say...well, you can't blame the Republicans for now good being done, because as you know they don't have enough of a majority to overcome a filibuster.

when you boil it all down, we elect our leaders to get things done, when they have the majority, we expect it even more. They now hold the reins and if they can't get things done then they are ineffectual leaders. Now, if the repubs are just sitting there blocking the way, then make deals, bitch, whine, complain, let the voters know what it is going on so we can vote them out...

but do SOMETHING, they've done NOTHING.

if they'd done ANYTHING, and could point the finger across the aisle at the obstructions, then I'd have to relent...but they quit the game before they ever played because what was the point, they couldn't win.

That is not leadership.

I'm also a vet of RROR meetings, I'm not saying you're wrong...but as you've pointed out the Pelosi talks a big game, but there's no action behind them.

and I think that in a nutshell is the point of this debate.

CaliChris,

I just got a small ding in my front bumper....just about 1k to fix. since most bumper covers are plastic/fiberglass...they shatter, and they are not cheap to replace and paint.

Then the Dems need to raise a stink...

point the finger...

scream it from the top of the mountain..."We have this great plan, and it you the people will not see it's benefits because these senators and house members won't allow it to pass"

but they don't...

so to keep it on topic...the dems, have dun nuttin about the gas prices either.

"Have you heard Obama say he should be president because a black people will vote for him? I think not."

if Her point is that the majority of voters are white......

why would he say that he commands the lesser numbers...so of course he hadn't said it....it's not a plus.

MoneyWar,

You actually believe that if Hillary runs as a third party candidate that she won't split the democratic vote in half, and allow McCain to coast to a victory?

American Unity,

of course the younger crowd votes Dem.

everyone knows the saying

if you aren't a liberal when you are younger you have no heart, if aren't conservative by the time your older you have no brain.

I must need more coffee....I can't make sense out of that article...time for a Dunkins run

Danforth,

what bills have been filibustered?

it seems as thought the dems are sitting with their thumbs up there asses because the Reps will just filibuster so why bother.

that's ridiculous...put a bill together that makes sense put it on the floor, if the Repubs filibuster a bill that is good for the country the public won't stand for it and the Repubs running for office in Nov. would get booted and Barry would sail to victory and the Dems would have complete control.

but they haven't done that, and that is the point.


When the repubs had the majority, they put forth bills and the Dems filibustered, it's how it works.

Hillary's plan at this point in imho is to weaken barry enough so that he cannot win, so she can run again in 4yrs.

Running as an independent while accomplishing that goal would also make persona non grata. There's a line that even she cannot cross for the four years from now plan to succeed.

Bob,

to answer your question about how they got the "smoke" in the picture.


have you ever zoomed an image, looped it into video, and then played it on a tv? you get all sorts of distortions

seriously boob, get friggin education
