Even more reason to elect McCain.

We cannot afford a Reed/ Pelosi/ Dimwit Trilogy having unchecked governmental power.

Since everybody is quoting the Republican Cassandras today, let me get in on it:

And he can point out that there’s going to be a Democratic Congress. He can suggest that surely we’d prefer a president who would check that Congress where necessary and work with it where possible, instead of having an inexperienced Democratic president joined at the hip with an all-too-experienced Democratic Congress, leading us, unfettered and unchecked, back to 1970s-style liberalism.-Bill Kristol

West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), whose predecessor, Mark Foley, resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him.

Mahoney, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising, the staffers said.-ABC News

Calling RedState “right of center” is like calling someone a little bit pregnant.

Bosch, from the dead thread, about Real Clear Politics:

*Sorry, hillbilly ragger, I’m still checking them, but with a heightened sense of caution.

But, you know I was thinking, if they aren’t using polls that show Obama more ahead, isn’t that good news? :-)*

It’s like any other tracking poll amalgamation; you have to figure some weight certain polls differently.

For my money, I see no reason to imagine that fivethirtyeight.com is being dishonest in its assessment of the national tracking and state polls, and tend to trust it before RCP, is all.

I realize that 538 has probably one-five-hundred-thirty-eighth the funding of RCP, but sometimes, small is beautiful; less is more.

Erickson is a Woo-tan Klanner type, an idiot through and through.

So even the idiots are getting it that the Repukes are getting their heads handed to them November 4.

Duh.

AJC/DNC: So the moral of your story is that politicians need to make sure you play around with someone of the opposite sex and not youngsters of the same sex?

Or is the moral of your story that “family values” can cut both ways when you don’t live up to your own hype?

To Goldie and GOPs got to go

1) It’s really quite amusing to me when you choose not to debate my points item by item. I did yours. That really does show a weakness on your part.

2) Why is it you guys are always so vitriolic with name calling and personal attacks?

3) I assume you’re dodging the issue and trying to be coy/cute regarding the serpent/parrot thing.

Obviously, if God can make a parrot talk ……… he can make a liberal talk.

4) May I ask why you weren’t upset at Bookman’s use of scripture this morning ? It is you like Bookman but not the Corporal or is it you like his selection of verses but not mine.?

Ooops! Reminds me of another one aimed right at you !

“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.”

5) Finally, do you think it was harder for God to make the known cosmos (minus plant and animal life) in 7 days or 7 milliseconds (as I think He did)? Just asking ………

Isn’t Erikson really located Right of the extreme Right. Can he even see the center from where he is.

So far Right he he is backed up against the butts of the extreme Left.

Oh! That is how Jay knows him. They backed into each other while moving away from the center.

Crushed?

Personally, as a longtime, patriotic, United States Marine Corps combat veteran with over 34 years of Federal law enforcement experience (retired) and with 27 of those years hanging around politicians of all types, I will be alarmed if that happens.

I felt betrayed by the American people a little bit with Carter, a whole lot with Clinton and if Obama is elected - well, we’ll see.

And before you start taking your shots at me, I would fight and die for his right to be elected and if still with my old agency (unlike most of you) I would be willing to give my life to protect him. I did it for others once and I would do it again. That’s not the issue.

The point is I believe this Republic has seen it greatest days ……….. and that is truly crushing.

Now, take your shots (I’ve been shot at before ………… :o)

What ever.

Why would I even care about issues of morality when you libs overlooked Gary Studds, a person who actually did *&^% a 16 year old instead of just sending him emails like Foley did?

Why should I worry over you whining and moaning about us making a huge overblown deal out of this, when you did exactly that with Foley?

“Enjoy the coming whirlwind, harpy, it’s payback time.”

Does this mean McCain is going to win? Or lose?

Payback for what? Iraq? Katrina? Cheney’s secret oily friends? Shredding of the Constitution? Economic destruction? Global humiliation? Brownie? Harriet Miers? Rummy? Condi? Perle? Wolfie? Abu Grahib? Gitmo? Ignored NIEs? 9/11? No WMD? The Useless Department of Homeland Insecurity? Faith-Based anything? No Child Left Standing? Idiot Science? Bin Laden’s continued well-being? Uncontested Iran? A more valuable Euro? Tom DeLay? Trent Lott? Frist? The Fat-Guy Speaker? Faded “Support the Troops” magnetic ribbons? $4.00+ gasoline? Terri Shaivo? Randy Cunningham? Golden parachutes?

Presidential illiteracy?

Now I am worried. Wall street and the bulls are about to go on a rampage as Mondays 936 point rally is indicating. Gas prices are dropping which means the economy is starting to settle down as people are past the panic mode and starting to think rationally.

This is bad news for the Democrats. Americans are not stupid. To think that the worst week in the history of Wall street took place just weeks before the Presidential election could be nothing more than just coincidence is ignorance at it’s worst.

The whole thing was planned, prepared and executed to scare Americans into voting in fear. The incredibly liberal base in New York has bamboozled millions of investors. Yes, this was bound to happen eventually. But these major corrupt corporations and CEO’s leveraged the stock market into chaos deliberately in order to influence the election.

And it is working, at least so far. The Democrats are even more corrupt than the Republicans. The Liberals would tank our economy just to prop up an admitted elitist in Barack Obama.

Then again, the ticking time bomb that is John McCain with his finger on the red button is of concern. But then again, Bill Clinton’s temper was and is legendary. At least Clinton’s libido was only surpassed by his genius IQ. The man was brilliant and a Rhodes scholar. McCain is not, he graduated near the bottom of his class.

Barack Obama spent two years at Columbia University and graduated with a major in political science without honors and near the bottom of his class.

But at Harvard he was President of the Law review and distinguished himself among his graduating class in 1983 while graduating with a law degree and with honors.

Alas, Ron Paul is correct. The Democrats are really fascist and the Republicans are the Democrats.

What can the American voter do?

Use your brains people. there are more than just two Presidential candidates. I vote Dr.Ron Paul.

Disagreement in the ranks of a political party is not a bad thing. Better than the robotic lockstep of the Democrat Party.
