I sure hope not...I hope he has extra, extra protection sm
I think regardless of which candidate wins they will need extra security this time.
I hope you all enjoy working an extra 10 or 20 hours
So you can give it to Obama to give to the people who don't work. I'd rather spend the time with my famiy.
Hope y'all don't mind giving up your guns
If Obama wins, say bye-bye, and that's just the tip of this iceberg.
Remember what happened in New Orleans? It was outrageous!
we'll just have to be extra
careful when responding to you.
You're doing better with an extra 42$ a year?
Sure will make a great nest egg..wow, in 20 years you'll have $840 to finance your retirement!! I know you'll be living high on the hog with that.
And you know you really can't compare what people accomplished earlier this century to what is possible now. My parents also worked their butts off, raised 4 kids with regular doctor and dentist visits and sent them all to college, invested wisely and left a half-million dollar estate to the heirs. My dad never made over 30,000 a year. But you see, when they bought a house in 1960 it cost less than 50% of his annual income. Doctor bills were 80% lower without insurance. A car cost 10% of his annual salary. When insurance did come around, it cost him $16 a month for the whole family. A semester of college at a state university in 1972 was $400. FICA didn't exist and Social Security was pennies out of a paycheck. All this was possible if you started in the 1950s and 1960s - thanks to Democratic leadership. I challenge you to find a four-bedroom house for less than 50% of your income today. Find a new car for 10%. Find health insurance for the whole family for pocket change. Send your kids to the University of Maryland for 10% of one monthly paycheck a semester. It ain't happening. Even when adjusted for cost of living and increased wages it can't be done.
It's social Darwinism now - you either be clever enough to get rich quick or clever enough to game the system big time, or you haven't got a chance to accomplish what average people could a few decades ago simply by minding a modest budget and working hard.
I would come see y'all....
...but I got me a first cousin lives down there and he can run fast enough to catch me.
Seriously though, elsewhere in Ohio foods to be eaten off premises are not taxable, but the soda in the same carryout order is because it is not considered food. I actually do have a friend who could not buy tomato juice (an ingredient in the soup she was going to make) with food stamps. And forget about buying anything carbonated. According to the USDA when it comes to food stamps, hot food, even take-out, is not eligible, unless by the special exemption that is mentioned in that text in my previous post (from USDA site.) According to that site, seeds for gardening to produce food are even eligible.
But this was on another site:
Restricting food stamp participants’ purchases of foods and beverages high in calories, fats, and/or sugars has been proposed as a strategy to combat obesity. In 2004, the State of Minnesota unsuccessfully requested permission from USDA to prohibit the purchase of candy and soft drinks with food stamp benefits. The proposed modification was clearly intended to promote diet quality by limiting purchase of “empty calorie” foods.
So it seems that in some places, food stamps actually ARE considered sort of a birthday present that you can spend any way you wish. Maybe y'all should move up here where the mooches are less offensive?
Oh, and sorry about being snappish with you, but I was also annoyed by the Palin remarks.
If y'all can lay all of 9/11
at Bush's feet after 8 months, Obama can wear this one after 2.

Oops...there is an extra "your" in my post (nm)

Being from Texas, I've had an extra 5 years
Don't believe in all that phoney outrage. I've done my time and prefer to call a spade a spade.
"yeah, right" to both of y'all
Nice try.
I missed y'all too s/m
Been to Texas to visit the grandkids. What a time we had!!!! I'm always interested in politics as well as history. During our 10 hour trip (both ways) I read "With Fire and Sword" which was about the Civil War in Arkansas, reconstruction and the politics that went with it. I was surprised to learn that there is really nothing new, corruption and party fighting go back forever. A good read for anyone interested in historical facts.
Who said anything about Obama? Is that all y'all

I'll bring extra butter...got drinks? sm
Sadly this is degenerating into a no holds barred free-for-all. That being said, Sam's posts at least contain facts and research and provoke discussion. Sally just posts to cause trouble. If you notice, not too many people are paying her much attention.
Just had a friend last night wanting to use my extra bedroom -
NO WAY - would rather take on 10 extra jobs than let somebody else stay in my house with me again....
have tried it and tried it and it never works...
Y'all are just jealous he's so popular
and you all can't get a liberal talk show to take. The Air America crowd can't keep themselves from stealing from their network long enough to try to get a quality show off the ground.
If Rush is so wrong then won't you dispute what he says instead of personally attacking him?
pity party -- y'all.

Thought y'all would enjoy this.

If y'all have a lot of time to read a 450 page report,
check this out. It has some interesting info: Part 1 is a synopsis and most interesting is pages 8,9,10, and 11. I got as far as Pt. 3 and there is a table of contents on the first few pages to explain everything that is in that part of the report.
"Vol. 1, Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq's WMD."

You poor thing. I'll say an extra prayer for the demons to leave your heart.
Big hug. 
nope, y'all are sore democrat winners. Obamas are proven bigots and
they'll show their true colors again soon, not to worry.

Good for Joe! I hope so. And I hope he sues...
the governor of the state of Ohio from now to next week. He should. They BIG time violated his civil rights. If this situation was reversed and he was a Dem who had asked McCain a question and a state had had him investigated, the ACLU would be all over this like ugly on an ape. Liberals only care about other liberals...they could care LESS what happens to conservatives. But yeah, they are all about civil liberties. Geez. Pull the other leg awhile.
She said SOME or did you miss that? nm
Man!! I miss everything! nm
What did I miss? nm

Ya, then none of us would have to miss
That would just suck.
Did you miss something?
Yea, some moron found a you tube clip and her religion was an issue over and over ad nauseum in the media, of which I'm sure you paid attention to.
I have based my opinion on his background, not his color. He has a very very very questionable background, being brought up in Islamic faith. That's NOT a little thing. If you don't like the religious aspect of it, too bad. When Muslim belief says all who are not Muslim are to be killed, you better believe I pay attention. When I see one after another terrorist (even home grown) being his buddies, I'll pay attention and question why.
Dense and ignorant will ignore anything Muslim, because most liberals don't care about God anyway, but his real beliefs and upbringing that has been proven over and over again are a big concern for me.
You might open your eyes when or if he is in office and all those cabinet positions have to be filled and all you see are names you can't even pronounce, because they all have questionable citizenship to this country, questionable middle eastern relationships with those involved in terorrist organizations, etc.
Then you can wonder where this country is really going and maybe you'll have bigger fish to fry then.
No, I did not miss that -
I addressed that part when I said that people who would not pay taxes already do not pay taxes!
There are many, many people who never pay a penny into taxes and get $5000 to $6000 refunds every year for EIC. That is nothing new.
MAN what did I miss???
:(
What'd I miss?
So I've been gone for a few days (almost a week I guess!)
Any good bits I need to check out? Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I think my eyes are orange from all the pumpkin pie I ate!!
So do I (miss sam)
I don't post very often anymore because of the same reasons. You're bashed constantly for your views. This is no longer a politics board as you said.
I'm at least willing to see what O does BUT, I caught a bit of his Phila. speech and he stated we need to change the Declaration of Independence. Huh? I hope I didn't hear that correctly.
I'm also sick of seeing all the garbage that's being pushed with his face on it, like he's some kind of God and how the whole world is going to tune into his inaugaration and celebrate. Saw where one woman in Kenya had a skirt on with his picture on it. It fit right over her butt. I got a kick out of that.
Yes, I miss her also...................nm

Try not to miss me too much...(sm)
Gone on vacation. Hope you all (even the ones that hate me...lol) have a good week . 
didn't miss anything....
but I want to know why we haven't heard more of cronie Rove? I knew that would be shoved under the rug as they are wanting that scandal will go away. That's why the "early" nomination of Roberts. So see-through they stink!
I will miss Tim Russert. sm
,
Yup, you still miss the point...oh well....nm
Did I miss something important? AS is a pub gov
He ran under the pub ticket and was elected by Californian pubs and other star-struck Californians. Do you disagree with the idea that repulicans come in different flavors or should I be translating you message from Christian right-wing fringe-speak to mean roughly "my way or the highway" on what it means to be a REAL republican?
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.
Did I miss anything good?
Okay, I have been gone for 2-1/2 days. My son graduated from boot camp this morning and I was at Fort Jackson - LOVE OUR SOLDIERS!!!!
Don't really have time to go through all those days - but if there is something good I missed, point me there please?
Me too. I am not a democrat, but I think I miss

Did you miss this part? s/m
" She was fired early this year over personal expenses she had put on the group's credit card."
Nice try but no sale.
Are you kidding me...and miss all the fun?
I could do this until the polls open if need by, but I think you can get the general drift:
1. “I’m the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can’t.’” –Sarah Palin, as quoted by former City Council Member Nick Carney, after he raised objections about the $50,000 she spent renovating the mayor’s office without approval of the city council.
2. SP: RNC Convention: “I told the Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ on that Bridge to Nowhere.” who was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.
3. SP: RNC: “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity.” quoting the fascist right-wing columnist Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist and anti-Semite who once expressed his hope that Robert F. Kennedy would be assassinated
4. SP: “Absolutely. Yup, yup.” after being asked by People magazine if she was ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency
5. SP: July 2008: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?” interview with CNBC’s “Kudlow & Co”
6. SP: "A Vice President has a really great job because not only are they there to support the President's agenda, they're like the team member--the team mate--to that president. But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to, they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better..." Palin told Denver's KUSA-TV on Monday,
7. August 2008: SP: “A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I’m not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.” dismissing global warming as influenced by human activity, Newsmax interview.
8. 09/09/2008: SP claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." Operated as private companies, not taxpayer funded. Fundamental ignorance of a key issue that will face the next administration.
9. 09/11/2008: SP: “They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.” –Sarah Palin, on her foreign policy insights into Russia, ABC News interview,
10. 09/11/2008: SP: “Perhaps so.” when asked if we may need to go to war with Russia because of the Georgia crisis, ABC News interview.
11. 09/11/2008: “I have not, and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you.” after being asked if she had never met a foreign head of state, despite the fact that every vice president in the last 32 years had met a foreign head of state prior to taking office, ABC News interview
12. 09/11/2008: “In what respect, Charlie?” after being asked if she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, ABC News interview
13. 09/11/2008: SP: “Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that’s with the energy independence that I’ve been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy.” –Sarah Palin, misstating the actual amount of energy produced by Alaska, which is only 3.5 percent,
14. 09/11/2008: “You’ll be there to defend the innocents from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the deaths of thousands of Americans.” linking the Iraq war the 9/11 attacks while addressing U.S. soldiers shipping off to Iraq, Fairbanks, Alaska. Gee. And all this time we thought it was those WMDs.
15. 09/17/2008: SP: “Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.” SP...billed by John McCain as the nation’s foremost expert on energy, clumsily answering a question while speaking off the cuff at a town hall meeting, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
16. 09/24/2008: “I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you.” When asked by Katie Couric to cite specific examples of how John McCain has pushed for more regulation in his 26 years.
17. 09/24/2008: "our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia … We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.”when asked by Katie Couric how Alaska’s proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience.
Did you miss his credentials? sm
Schmitt, who grew up in Silver City and now lives in Albuquerque, has a science degree from the California Institute of Technology. He also studied geology at the University of Oslo in Norway and took a doctorate in geology from Harvard University in 1964.
I think a doctorate in geology does suffice.
Did you miss the point?
Without government interference, there would never have been subprime loans in the first place! The banks couldn't afford them!!! Now, that is correctness!
You really did miss my whole point entirely.
I didn't defend alcohol being legal. I said, in effect, "Do two wrongs make a right?"
I'm sorry you wasted all those keystrokes.
I did not miss your point at all
You either love all men as God teaches or you don't. I don't think God says to love them all - except for this group or that group. Nope, God says to love ALL men. There are no exceptions to that.
Swing and a miss...again...(sm)
It has always been a right for people to marry who they wish to marry. Being gay does not make them any less of a person.
Bye Bye Miss American Pie..sigh..
Hi, Anon!! :o)
I warned my republican friends..YIPES?? I have republican friends? Yes, and three of them now have told me the war was wrong and Bush is frightening.
Anyway, I warned my republican friends and everyone else that if Bush got in office the first time, the country would change drastically and he would destroy America and the world (okay maybe that was a little over the top..but not really)..I see us women going back to being bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen and the men coming home in loin cloths and billy clubs (umm..well, maybe that might be nice.smile)..
Honestly, you didn't miss much.
It was not one of his better shows, but he still cracks me up!
