Right here

"Funny how the fact that the bill was sponsored by Republicans is left out by most right wingers. Clinton was all for it. But even if he wasn't, they had a veto proof majority in the House and Senate"

**********

And thus I put the word they in quotes in my reply to your one sentence reply where you said I was wrong but offered no proof. But let's say for a second I was referring to the Republicans. So what. The bill was sponsored by two of them and brought to the House and Senate by those two individuals. When it was sent to Clinton the votes were veto proof. So the Republicans who sponsored the bill had a veto proof majority. The fact is that the original deregulation of the banking industry was a Republican written bill. And therefore hardly the fault of the Dems. That doesn't excuse them for it, but it sure as hell doesn't place all the blame on them either.

McCain is scheduled to speak here Saturday at Christopher Newport University, the college run by former US Senator Paul Trible.

I can't believe you are all posting on what has been spent on Palin's appearance for this campaign. The sheer volume of what's been spent by Obama inc verses McCain inc on the campaign absolutely drowns out any credible arguements on it.

************

It does? So I'm not allowed to be pissed because "one of us" Palin spent more on clothes and makeup in the last month than I make in 5 years. But Obama spent money on ads and such. Bad man. Go to bed without any supper.

 

Add that to questions of Acorns screw ups on registration, and now Dept of Justice lawyers NOT attending the precinct voting areas to help insure creibility and proper voting procedures are followed, and I'm wondering if there's any point even going. Side note to the Acorn thing, I wonder if the numbers of questionable registrations have had an affect on the numbers reported in the polls, as in inflating the left's totals in the poll.

************

Acorn didn't screw up anything. It wasn't voter fraud since as of today Mickey Mouse hasn't actually voted. Employees who were out gathering registrations were making up names to get paid more. Many were caught by Acorn and some slipped through.

And what does Obama have to do with Acorn? He worked with them once upon a time. He does have some ties to them but minor ones. Read all about it here:

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/acorn_accusations.ht ml

 

And I absolutely love the comments lately about the Democratic parties aversion to some media's audacity to ask "hard" questions, especially when the media has practically run Joe the plumber out of the country he "works" in for asking "a" question that some people didn't like. Maybe Tito is right about similarities to the Chavez playbook.

***********

They ran Joe out of town? I must have missed that. Of course, maybe someone who hadn't paid his taxes shouldn't bitch about his taxes.

"To all those who name the name of Christ who plan to willfully disobey Him by voting for Obama, take warning... No, this election is not about race. It's not about the economy. It's about obeying God... Obey Him in the voting booth and out of it. If not, do us all a favor and quit calling yourself a Christian."

That makes me sick.

I'm not just saying that - reading that quote from Porter caused an actual
physical reaction: I feel like my breakfast is about to come back up.

That is simply the vilest thing I have read in a long time.

Obviously, she missed the whole part of the Bible about not judging other people. There's no small amount of irony in someone committing the decidedly un-Christian act of saying someone else isn't a Christian.

(I must say that I've never heard of Janet Porter. Does she have a real audience or is she just some fringe radio kook on a few low-wattage stations?)

"Post Turtle" -- like a turtle sitting on top of a fence post. He sure didn't get
there by himself. He doesn't know what to do once he's up there. And you
have to question the judgment of whoever put him up there.

It's an old joke that was widely circulated re: Sarah Palin, and it fits. In fact,
the characterization of Obama as such doesn't make a lot of sense.

I had a long rant that followed, and I erased it. Probably too late to change
anyone's mind. I can only vote, volunteer, and hope that the entirely-
discredited Republican party is finally marginalized this coming Tuesday.

I believe "family value" to be, love of family, which could mean a traditional family or a non traditional family. It's helping those you love reach their fullest potential.

Doing all you can to be a positive force in this world, teach children to be respectful and practice what you teach, give them a reason to want to be like you and respect you. I believe in learning from those that went before us, value your parents and grandparents, learn from them, if they were great people, follow their lead, if they weren't successful in life learn from their mistakes. Try to be there for them as they grow older. Become connected to your family by not only talking to them, but listening.

These are the values I practice with my family.

You . . . . . Socialist!! How unamerican!!! :o)

Well said, my friend.
