The Sickest Part.........

Is the fact that most pubs probably did the same name-calling and pandering in the last election as they are doing right now. Look what it got you. George Bush. Are you proud of him? Has he been a success? Would you even ADMIT that you voted for him? McCain isn't proud of him. The whole party is trying to pretend he doesn't even exist. He didn't even speak at the convention - he was "wired" in because he INSISTED. How sad. He was used like TP and now he is being flushed. Now you want to put another puppet in the whitehouse. Some shuffling, suffering, old man who looks like he can barely move - I am sure he is in pain. And you have his running mate one HEARTBEAT AWAY........who has governed a state with a population the size of Memphis, TN. THAT'S executive experience!!!!!! NO, it is absolutely TERRIFYING! If you keep expounding the same lies over and over - the simple ones start to believe them. If those bozos win - I hope I can afford to leave this country (you can keep your comments about "no one will miss you" as your hate is not welcome or necessary). I'll move to Mexico and tell the Mexicans they are more than welcome to overrun this country because that is what it will become, a third world country. The rich and the poor and nothing in between.

The sickest part

I totally agree..besides, I certainly would not want a VP whose former brother-in-law Tasered his own stepson (now THAT's sick)!!


(See story in today's Yahoo! site


only part saved was the ignorant part
You can read the whole article.  This quote was saved to show what she said that was so stupid.
I think you are right, but only in part...sm
The bigotry is the other part. What escapes you was the FACT pointed out in this article that blanks are disproportionately denied parole when their white counter parts are allowed parole time for their crimes. No bigotry there...maybe not???
Another sad part...s/m
Yes, due in part to a "surge" there is less violence in Iraq at this time.  How long will this last? I certainly do not know. What will the situation be in Iraq in 2 to 5 years? I certainly don't know, but my gut tells me that you cannot go into another region of the world, bomb it extensively, ruin the lives of so many people, impose your will in trying to "plant the flag of democracy" in a region that does not want that, and have a good outcome.  It was a terrible mistake in invading Iraq, and I don't see a good or happy outcome long term. That's my opinion.
I got to this part
A reduction in the violence does not mean that things are “going well,” only that they are going “less badly.”

-And I loved it! Exactly.
Here's the sad part...

You came across this article.  You read it.  You believed it and posted it because:


a) it said what you believe and


b) we (liberals) must believe it too because it is from a Democrat who is against the war.


Did you not question the validity of the statement?  It came from an opposer, so it must be true?  Do you believe everything you read simply because it says what you want to hear?


If the article had stated his specific reasons for believing so, I would have been more inclined to believe to be true.  But again, it was a blanket article that says very little except his opinion.  I think the article is short sighted and your posting it most refutable.  


All that it did was convince me further that all your postings do is to try and take the very complex issue of Iraq and over simplify it to justify your war position.  Not unlike what the Bush administration has done from day one in regards to dealing with it.   


No one with half a brain believes that the progresses being made in Iraq is soley due to the troop surge, and there is plenty of documentation out there to disprove this theory. 


Wasn't that the intent of your posting?  Try to convince others that the surge is working?  It didn't work.  We are not that gullible. 


I am most happy and pleased about the small gains that are being made, and I recognize them for what they are.  But I am also realistic enough to know that those gains can disappear tomorrow regardless of the increased forces because there is no real stability established in the country.  Our military is not the one who is going to create that stability.  It is just a superficial band-aid at best.  It is going to remain a hostile territory until the Iraqi people decide for it not to be and that has to come from reconciliation on the three parties involved. It won't make any difference how many troops we have there. 


No I'm sure that part won't be on there. sm

I like to go to Huff and read the stuff, most it makes me laugh, the blogs; but ya gotta take it all with a grain of salt.  Thanks for geting my point about the whole post, it being about Fox news and not about McCain or Obama. 


I feel that with all of the side stuff, both sides are like little kids bickering, we are forgetting about everything that is important.  I am so tired of both sides bashing the other, it is a waste of time and money.


I think it is all part of the......... sm
"American Dream" picture and White House tradition as well. Remember Molly, Barbara Bush's dog? I think Molly got more attention than George did at times.

Thomas Jefferson

but part of what got us here
is many, many people abusing the system and getting free handouts when they should have been working.

The problem with our nation is the mentality that everyone is owed something. There is no pride in hard work anymore! And yes the rich thing they are owed loop holes, and the poor think they are owed handouts, and well the middle class is just p.o.'d at both of them!

Unfortunately if we start taxing the heck out of the rich they will just cut jobs from the middle class who pays taxes and then the poor who receive handouts won't be taken care of because we won't have any tax money left!

Before anyone gets mad, I understand completely that their are poor people who need help, and that doesn't bother me. The welfare system was originally created for single mothers though, not single mothers and their babies daddy and for the mothers to have 14 babies so the community to take care of them!

Here's a good idea for creating jobs: hire more caseworkers to investigate everyone on welfare and the ones that are abusing it lose it, which puts money back into the system for those that need it! The ones that abuse it should have to do community service to make up for it!


The sad part about this....(sm)
is that it's gonna get a lot worse than this before it gets better.  As far as staying in their homes until they get arrested, some of them may not have any other choice if they don't have anywhere to go.  If they go to jail, at least they have a roof over their heads.  I don't think Obama's housing plan covers those who have already been evicted, but they need some kind of relief.  At least ACORN is trying to help them, regardless of how they're going about it.  What a mess.
You mean the part about
many officials who fear that the government will squander its takings, and so propose returning the money to citizens in the form of tax rebates or cuts, an idea known as "cap-and-dividend".


Yep, I am "enlightened" alright!!

Got it now. Had to use only the .com part
.
now I don't get the part where I
tried to change the subject as usual. I don't believe I am familiar with you at all as I don't remember ever chatting with you before, an endeavor which I am starting to think is not worthwhile anyway. I left this board a long time ago because of the constant bickering and mudslinging. Perhaps I have made an error trying it again. You consequently have not answered a question I had. In a nutshell, would you have objected a few years ago had he directed these kids to a liberal webside? If you are objecting on this behalf you would be just as wrong.
AW, you are part of a team.
People get mad at me sometimes because they think I am too harsh with conservatives - and I'm talking about liberals and progressives. You know though what we're up against. You can't be too harsh with them. Look at what they do. They've been getting away with it for a long time and enough is enough. They refuse to act like normal human beings and they shouldn't be treated like normal human beings. You could run away from a swarm of angry bees or vacate a house that was overrun with cockroaches and you'd be right to do so - but please even if you leave here, don't stop pegging these people. These kind of cockroaches are trying to overrun the world. I know you know who they are and I hope you won't be able to stay silent when they come scurrying around! I really hope you will stay here and keep adding your voice. In no way on no day should these people be allowed to remain unchallenged.


I think we agree for the most part

however, from what I heard of the tapes I don't think this teacher was just throwing his opinions out there.  He was teaching them as fact.  I think even if he was transferred to a political science class then he would still need to tone down his rhetoric several notches.  You can teach any class from an objective point of view with very little effort.  Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, I think teachers need to be very careful about much of their own opinion they teach to students.


This is the part of a sermon that I can do without...sm
But this lady takes it to a whole new level. Passing out!? That's a class act.
Yep, I read that part...
and probably the difference in the cost is split between the difference in what the doctors make in both places, and if there is some sort of a cap on services...meaning, the insurance plan tells the doctor that is what you get for that particular service. No negotiation, no nothing. That is the only way I can think of that the streamlined disbursement system would work. If they do not have clerical personnel handling it, that tells me they have specific charges for specific services, regardless. That would be another sticky wicket on this side of the pond with the medical profession.

Another thing mentioned, and why the French physicians are okay to charge less...medical school in France is tuition-free. There will be another huge hit on the American taxpayer....can you even imagine the cost of that on the front end?

Like I said, it looks good on the face...one would be interested in knowing how long it took from inception to where it was "working well" and the dollar cost involved in the conversion and the ongoing maintenance.

I wonder, when they apply the "broad tax on earned and unearned income" if the French people will love it as much as they do now. It is a consideration...

Not meaning to be a fly in the ointment, kam...just looking at in stark reality.

Have a good day!
What part of this are you not understanding

I just read a bunch of posts below and am not disturbed, but maybe dismayed is a better word.  Whether you trust Obama or not because of his policies, voting record, political life, or whatever is your perogative (sp?), but to incorrectly be making statements not based on anything but milicious rumors spread around leads readers to believe the writer is a biggot and just does not want a black man (which I should state once more 1/2 black, 1/2 white) in the white house.  I have no doubt if more of the white race came out and he looked more white than black a lot of this would not be surfacing.


First - Obama is NOT muslim.  You can think all you want and hope it to be true but what part of the facts don't you understand.  How many times does he have to repeat he is a Christian.  Always has been.  Raised in a Christian home, white grandparents, white mother, went to catholic school, attended a Baptist church, married in a church (not Moslim), children baptised in a church.  To say he is a muslim is like saying McCain belongs to KKK after all he's a white dude.  Pullease.  Sure, his father was a muslim when he married Obama's mother but that's where it stops.  Obama never studied the muslim religon or went to muslim services.  My parents are catholics but I was not raised catholic and am not catholic.  His mother later remarried someone from Indonesia and Obama attended a catholic school.  Get your facts straight.  He never went to a muslim school or studied muslim studies and he is not muslim.  So what if the muslims like him, so do the Christians, Jews, Mormoms, Baptists, and many other religions!


Second of all on the flag thing.  Obama's plane has the American flag on it, are you upset because the flag is not so huge it covers the plane from one end to the next?  There's a flag there!  Also, just because he doesn't have an american flag plastered all over the place on everything does not mean he is not "American".  Have you seen him pledge to a flag of another country?  No, he pledges to the American flag!  As for the picture that he is standing not with his hand over his heart.  I can't tell you how many times I've said the pledge of allegience and I didn't have my hand over my heart every time.  Doesn't mean I'm not American.  He's not trying to get rid of the American flag, but for pete's sake it doesn't need to be plastered in every square inch of empty space. 


The poster who is not well informed about Obama's religion and trying to scare people into believing he's muslim when he's not is just plain wrong.  It doesn't "ruffle any feathers" because you are just wrong.  You may not want to "sugar coat any facts" but first you need to get the facts straight.  People don't "hate" republicans, and certainly not enough that they would want "anything" in there.  You could always put that statement on the other foot "People just hate the democrats so much they'll elect an old senile person to fill the position just as long as a democrat doesn't get in there".  That excuse just doesn't sit well.


I'm no "Obama-lover" and I won't be voting for him but not because of malicious rumors on the internet or false statements made by the republican side.  I'm basing my decision on his voting records and other issues that I don't agree with him on, certainly not from anything I get off the internet.  You know there are people on both sides who hate the other candidate so much they are posting fall information, but for anyone to spread this...all I can say is "shame on you".


What part of we got other issues do you
nm
actually, in answer to the last part,
I do believe I heard him say he was going to consult with his wife and grandmother! McCain was going to consult with the generals. Agree with the rest of your post.
PS. Forgot the part about "I don't think
nm
Yes....I was only replying to the part about using her name....
I think that is why people use her name. As to what she thinks, of course no one knows what she thinks...can guess, I suppose, but no one really knows.

I think the statement Obama made was great. He was forceful, no beating around the bush, I didn't think he did it because of politics, I think he meant it. I am not an Obama supporter, but the man was a class act when he made that statement. Hats off to him.
Wow. Looks like I missed that part.
One blurb just said Bush will speak via satellite and RG was "bumped." Still curious about why. Please post if you hear anything.
Medical was part of it......... sm
The foreign car workers have, I believe, national insurance coverage so that does not figure into the workers' benefits from the company. The figure being negotiated with the UAW was the amount that the foreign companies pay their workers. I don't believe health care would be a part of the package for the UAW.
If you don't vote, you are part of the
problem....It saddens me that you take your freedom, or what's left of it, so lightly.  If you allow others to vote for you, you are giving your rights away.  Politics is always a dirty business, but it's not politics you are voting for.  Hoping you reconsider.
Now did I say the "pubs" had no part in it?
This article says an untruth when it says: Mr. McCain was never a leading critic or defender of the mortgage giants.

This is what McCain said in 2005 with his proposed legislation:

Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former chief executive officer, OFHEO’s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines’ compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.
The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator’s examination of the company’s accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.
For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs–and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO’s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.

The Democrats killed that bill.

Barney Frank, Democrat, pushed fannie/freddie to extend those subprime loans to minorities/lower income people who did not have a hope in heck of paying them back.

Top CEOs at fannie...Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, James Johnson, and timothy Howard...two of who were Obama advisors until recently....all left Fannie with millions and we are left holding the bag. Chris Dodd, democratic head of banking and commerce committee...looked the other way. He is top recipient of donations from Fannie. Guess who is #2?

Pubs may have had a finger in it...Democrats had both hands up to the elbows in it. Just plain old fact.
Exactly what part of the video do you....
consider a conspiracy? The Chris Dodd part? The Barney Frank part? The Franklin Raines part? All denying that there was a problem with fannie/freddie? Which part of that is the conspiracy? SOme nasty Republican holding a gun to their heads to make them say it?

Perhaps the disclosure of which politicians were most in the fannie pocket? That part?

Or maybe the part where the bills introduced by the Republicans (named and numbered and easily verified) trying to regulate fannie/freddie only to be shot down by the Dems? That part? The part where McCain said on the senate floor we better wake up? That part?

Which part was it?
And what part of two-faced do you use to
xx
What part of he has already been investigated don't
.
What part of the evident below do you not
xx
I know, I don't think religion should be part of it either (sm)
But if McCain had been attending a white supremist church that hated African-Americans and had a minister who spewed hatred, and he had attended that church for 20 years and called the minister one of his mentors.....who would vote for him?? No black person, no non-caucasian person, and at least 90% of whites would not vote for him either!
This is the part where I realize just how little
going on besides the "economy" thing that everyone has their minds wrapped around so much it doesn't allow them to see anything else and every time Obama is questioned about something he wants to sidestep, he shoots back to that horrible economy that he knows so many can't think past.

You'll just have to pay attention, dive in, and connect the dots. I'm tired of doing it for you.




what part of reading don't you get?
xx
this is part of the problem
God forbid somebody mention God. They are talking about God in this election. Don't read those posts if it offends you. To some people God is relevant in this election
I assume you mean the sad part
is all of our brothers and sisters who refuse believe because they can't "prove" God's existence.  I don't feel sad that the end times are near (I believe) for myself but I do believe the Bible tells us that in the end EVERY knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  It also tells us not to be afraid, something I struggle with, yet I know that in my rather looooong life, He has provided that which I needed, sometimes things I didn't even know I needed.  He has also allowed me to suffer the consequences when I went against His will.  Whatever part of the tribulation we have to endure, I am sure He will make a way for us.  And I do believe we are entering into the tribulation.
did you miss the part where
this lady had a B for Obama carved in her head by a black man (not that his race really matters, so lets not start calling me a racist). I doubt that it was Republical propaganda about Obama being a Muslim that caused such a thing and I find it offensive that everyone keeps talking about Palin's looks. Honestly, it's not as if she is really all that good looking, just better looking than Hillary. Might not be racism, but it is a bit of sexism. If this had been a black woman attacked by a McCain supporter, I still would not understand you stance, but at least it wouldn't be from out of nowhere.
For the most part I agree with you.

But I admit I am a hard-liner so this is my opinion and my opinion only before anyone pounces on me.


I believe life begins at conception and I believe abortion at any point is murder.  In this modern age, I see no reason, other than perhaps the mother's life being at stake, where an abortion might be acceptable and that decision, I believe is for the mother and the mother only to make.  I will not speak to the issue of rape or incest, I cannot imagine what a horrible experience that might be.  I have never been in the position, thank God, to have to  make that decision.  Anyone who has sex should, and likely does, know that pregnancy is a possibility whether or not they use birth control so if they aren't willing to accept that responsibility, maybe they should not have sex. I know somewhat of what I speak.   I had 3 unwanted pregnancies in my early years.  All 3 are living and I love them dearly and cannot imagine what life would be like without them.  I am thankful I didn't murder them although at the time it was beyond me how I was going to care for them. 


That's part of the problem
the know-it-all younger  generation thinks we old farts got this old without learning anything.  LOL

Nice try but no sale.


What part of he has NOT don't you understand
Are you referring to the forged certicate that has been redone a few times?

He doesn't keep showing the same piece of paper over and over and over. The only place I'm reading that is here on this board by the O operatives.

You keep saying he has shown this over and over and over. He has not. He posted a forged certificate on his website that has been examined by a forensic expert and it is a forgery (you can see his sisters information underneath). Of course you'll claim the forensic expert is not a "credible source" as do all the other posts that speak anything against the O.

It is also only on this board that the O operatives insist that nobody cares. You know what....half of America cares. The supreme court cares. District judges care, lawyers care, democrats care, independents care, republicans care, whites care, asians care, and blacks care. The people who want the constitution upheld cares. The patriots of the country cares. The only people who don't want to know and don't care are the Obamabots and the ones who will try and cheat, and the operatives on this board. Hense this board is filled with Obamabots trying to unduly discredit anyone who is looking for the truth.

Haven't you ever heard the saying Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over expecting to get a different answer (in this case hoping to get a different answer).

Everytime I read these posts cutting down those who are trying to get to the truth it just amazes me how many people are asleep and just don't care.

I've even read the posts that say we should change our constitution just so the O can get in.

Insanity is not waiting until the SC has made a ruling.

Goodnight!!!!
That's part of the problem
American people "want" all the imports because they are told they are cheaper, better quality, get better gas mileage, etc. etc.  It isn't true.  I feel for the auto workers and their families but they're going to lose their jobs anyway UNLESS Obama can come up with "real change," which is very doubtful IMHO (and yes, I voted for him).  Let the auto industry go ahead and fall.  Then maybe when it comes back it will be for the better.  We're headed for another Great Depression.  The only thing as I see it, is let it go ahead and play out or pump billions into every industry that wants it, then let them file bankruptcy and the only losers are the American people either way.
I think you missed the part where I said...
*and I do believe in making stipulations for how that money is spent.*

Now I know what part of O's problem is.

He doesn't pay attention to the stock market. What???? Guess he doesn't realize that's what tells you how the country/people/financial markets feel about the economy. I really find it hard to believe that he doesn't care about, or watch, the stock market. That's the economic meter. All presidents keep an eye on the market. But O's just listening to Bernake and Paulson.  


I think he should take some pointers from some SMART economists and get his head out of the sand.
