In this regard I can only say what I previously posted (see above). May be it's time!
GOOOH sounds much better than the big government statist policies being proposed by the White House and rejected by Republicans. BTW- Rachael MadCow conveniently left out the rest of the story as to why these policies were rejected. In a vast majority of the cases, it was because they sucked !
Don't have a problem with voting them all out around here. Why didn't the GOP Senators reject the bailout in the first place, when Bush proposed it ? that's reason for voting them out. Just be vigilant about each candidate that you intend to support - and note that the words hope and change together are toxic.
Yes KS. Don't know if you've had the time or inclination to study GOOOH's web-site and MO, but their spokesperson and head is a former Dell Computer guru and he has developed a very interesting system for electing our new representatives. It has refreshing design to it and just might be worth pursuing. I'm really tired of both major parties.
What a group of paranoid, losing power insecure liberals you all are! Can you debate an issue? Has Obama left Iraq? Well no, but Bush was wrong for being there? What about Afghanistan? Same huh? The military is our only hope. We will maintain thier integrity. You Marxists led by Obama will have to try to take over the military at our behest! Are you ready to try?
Obama proves that people like him are not ready for the high responsibilities of governing. Putting a tux on a chimp won't guarantee he won't eat the centerpiece. Let's just impeach him before he hurts somebody.
the security guard cowards down in the Westlake bus tunnel are now being feature on yahoo's homepage. 3 big apes in yellow vests standing around like craven, cowardly fools as a young teen girl is attacked and kicked in the head bt another girl. Olymoic Security's own policy code gives them the right to stop and prevent any further damage from someone clearly intent on seriously injuring themselves or others. This thing is blowing up in Metro's face bigtime. No one will ride their cool new trains, which i am all in favor of theoretically, if they can't provide decent security. aT LEAST Dow Constantine seems to get it- an dhas announced he's changing the way things have been security wise in the tunel.
We've been trying to tell you that for years. But you can't seem to watch/listen to anything but fixed news so live with the lies.
This afternoon on Goldman - who can be pretty good as well as pretty bad - a caller tried from the south tried to tell him this was all about race. He wasn't very articulate. Just kept repeated this was all about race. Goldman didn't get it and finally told the guy he inarticulate and hung up on him. I bet most of listening got it. The guy kept way that this whole vendetta against Obama - esp. by southern states which are republican - is all about race. There is no other rationale or reason to it. Obstructionists. Yes. But it is all about race for them.
I thought that interesting. No matter how you try to reason out why these people vote against their best interests, rather than ignorance it is all about race. Which is the same as ignorance, I realize.
Preventing liberals from succeeding at anything is far more important to them than their own best interests. Today's Republicans are like Khan in "Star Trek II". For them vengeance is a dish best served cold. Destroying the enemy is more important than life itself. These people are pathological obsessives filled with hate and envy. It's creepy.
What bothers me is that they get people like Collins and Snow to go along. Two women I thought relatively reasonable. If Collins and Snow are so easily controlled, what chance do the idiots on this blog have to know any better?
"Progressive" Republicans + Blue Dog "Democrats" = talks the talk, won't walk the walk. Essentially, they are cowards who put their electability ahead of what their constituents need.

You should really get off your duff, Duff and do something to help.

Re: Global Climate Change...
The way that Climate Gate has evolved in the last 4 months and the IPCC and other academic elites have responded, they have lost a lot credibility. Follow the money from political activists is their agenda, science be damned. It is doubtful that the credibility can be recovered.
The big government solutions to "Climate Change" are even more appalling - Cap and Tax. That goes for Copenhagen Climate Summit and a number of EU governments and what the US House of Reps. approved last year. Utility bills would increase 50-80% and gasoline prices rise to about $5/gal. The EPA also needs to be reeled from imposing fines on carbon footprints. The relationship between CO2 and temperature has been shown to not be statistically significant. The driving force behind using CO2 as the basis of determining taxes is that fossil fuels are included, which is a big part of the follow the money activist payoff to big government.
