I heard Obama speak at length for the first time and I must say that I am amazed. Does this dude have dentures or what? What is the deal with all of the whistling when he speaks? Does he not know of toothpaste and floss? He’s not that old, did his teeth rot out at a really early age?

This is gross.

~~~~~

{{{{“We don’t have enough capacity right now to deal with it — and it’s not just the troops,” Obama, D-Ill., told a crowd in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Obama posited that Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan.}}}}

Now if only the Afghanis spoke Arabic we’d be in business but whatever.

Let’s just for a moment imagine that we really are losing the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, who among you could possibly blame it on not having enough translators?

Can you say “clueless?”

~~~~~~

{{{{Her landslide 67-26 victory over Obama in West Virginia — she won by 147,410 votes — won’t change that situation. The oft-repeated fact that no Democrat since 1916 has won the White House without winning West Virginia won’t change it, either. But together, those two facts show just how far Democrats have ventured into uncharted territory this year. If Obama is to win the White House, he’ll have to do it in a brand-new way, winning states that Democrats haven’t won lately with diminished support in states that have been important to Democratic victories in the past. Clinton’s campaign reminds Democrats of that, and it makes some of them nervous.}}}}

Isn’t it so wonderful to think, such karma, that the votes from Florida that the libs whined so much about in 2000 may wind up doing in Bruno’s kandidacy?

It’s so delicious.

Attorney General John Edwards?……….. But it does raise an interesting thought experiment. John Edwards is a passionate fighter for the poor, for labor, and for universal health care—he would be a wonderful addition to any Democratic administration. He would be a great attorney general, particularly because he could fight for workers on labor law issues and he could fight for the traditionally disenfranchised on election law. He could really reinvigorate the role of the Secretary of Labor. He could head a regulatory agency like the FDA, where his distaste for corporate power could combine with his passion for fair and affordable health care.

AND

How does Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton sound?It sounds superb to us. Freed of the constraints of “triangulating” political considerations that have hobbled and severely compromised her progressive values, a seat on the Supreme Court would be an ideal way for Clinton to help steer our Constitution back to its original moorings. Without having to worry about voting based on future campaign strategy, she would be liberated to impact America in a profoundly positive way.

Young Evangelicals Abandoning GOP Over Iraq, Economy »

AND

Obama and the Cross…..I know the conservative policy purists will say that Obama is liberal and therefore Evangelicals won’t buy his “Evangelical speak”. Not so fast. Remember, many people vote based on an emotional connection to a candidate or if they can relate to that person. Obama may need to work on this perception that he is “elite” but when he talks about Jesus and the Bible and the fact that he’s a sinner, it makes him more real and in the process, more electable too.

TW - yes, Katrina was bungled on so many levels, but I don’t recall that any of the local officials in Lousiana were Republicans, and I have noticed that the people of Louisiana elected a Republican governor after all of that mess. I also noticed that the people of Mississippi overwhelmingly reelected their Republican governor who received nothing but praise for Katrina. Maybe we should send them to China. After all, I did not see Nancy Pelosi, Harry Ried or Barak Obama getting their hands dirty down there.

The Right Choice? The conservative case for Barack Obama……Barack Obama is no conservative. Yet if he wins the Democratic nomination, come November principled conservatives may well find themselves voting for the senator from Illinois. Given the alternatives—and the state of the conservative movement—they could do worse.Granted, when it comes to defining exactly what authentic conservatism entails, considerable disagreement exists even (or especially) among conservatives themselves. My own definition emphasizes the following:a commitment to individual liberty, tempered by the conviction that genuine freedom entails more than simply an absence of restraint;a belief in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and the rule of law;veneration for our cultural inheritance combined with a sense of stewardship for Creation;a reluctance to discard or tamper with traditional social arrangements;respect for the market as the generator of wealth combined with a wariness of the market’s corrosive impact on humane values;a deep suspicion of utopian promises, rooted in an appreciation of the sinfulness of man and the recalcitrance of history.Accept that definition and it quickly becomes apparent that the Republican Party does not represent conservative principles. The conservative ascendancy that began with the election of Ronald Reagan has been largely an illusion. During the period since 1980, certain faux conservatives—especially those in the service of Big Business and Big Empire—have prospered. But conservatism as such has not.

Goldie - contrary to the hopes of so many of you in your ‘poddy’, the Clinton’s are too smart, too venal and too self-centered to do that. They see two likely senarios:

(1) Obama loses to McCain in a close election. This gives Hillary an opening for 2012. She will only be 65 then, so she is still young enough to run.

(2) Obama wins. It is a disaster for the Democrats. The Republicans have huge victories in the Midterm elections. Hillary takes the nomination from Jimmy II which Ted Kennedy attempted but failed to do in 1980.

The Republicans are losing NOT because they are acting like Republicans, but because they are trying to be Democrat lite. You Democrats don’t get it, but it is true. Like the French needed to relearn after the Socialist victory in 1997, Socialism DOES NOT WORK.

I hope you enjoy the gas lines and rising prices under Obama.

Goldie - hardly. I recall that the problem was that the Louisiana officials were glacially slow in requesting federal help as is required by the FEMA law. I know that you want to blame the Bush administration for the storm forming in the Atlantic and everything, but I do believe that there is plenty of blame to go around.

I am NOT saying that the situation was well managed, but a large part of the confusion was the sheer incompetence of the local officials in Louisiana. Mississippi was a completley different case because they did go by the book.

The proof was in the pudding. The people of Louisiana spoke quite loudly in the gubenatorial elections in 2007, as did the people of Mississippi.

As I am not a political party goon or hack, like the slobbering dhimokkkrats on this blog are, allow me to say welcome aboard the Conservative Movement Mr. Childers:

{{{{Democrats pulled off the win by smartly nominating a conservative, Travis Childers, from a rural swing part of the district who disavowed Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and hit Mr. Davis from the right.}}}}

{{{{Mr. Childers is well known as a cultural conservative who favors gun rights and opposes abortion.}}}}

You know, I’m starting to think that there are more DINO’s than there are RINO’s.

{{{{Then there are the record low congressional approval ratings. No Congress has fallen as far and as fast as the Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid-led House and Senate. Unlike President Bush, congressional Democrats will be on the ballot this fall, and can do little to improve their lackluster record before then. It must also be disconcerting for Ms. Pelosi that the Democrats’ winning formula has meant conceding ground on guns, prayer, partial-birth abortion and other issues that matter to social conservatives.}}}}

And if you needed further proof of our success:

{{{{In his forthcoming book A Time to Fight, James Webb, democrat, criticizes Democratic leaders for prioritizing “hard-to-grasp themes such as the environment and global warming” over bread-and-butter issues “when our national security is in such disarray and our workers are watching their jobs disappear.” And in a chapter entitled “A Nation Descended from Many Nations,” in which he makes nice with the multiculturalists he once excoriated, he still writes, “We must, as a nation and as a government, struggle with such issues as illegal immigration and the extent that portions of the so-called diversity programs improperly affect fairness and government policy.” That seems a longwinded way of saying he understands many working-class whites are disadvantaged by porous borders and preferential policies.}}}}

Oh those pathetic neo-cons! Had they just found a way to get one of their doofus darlings nominated:

In what could spell bad news for the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, an overwhelming 86 percent of self-described “very conservative” voters said they are displeased with the current presidential candidates, and 65 percent of these voters said they are very unsatisfied.

That is freaking outstanding news for the nation as a whole, of course.

The vast majority of conservatives (76 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current candidates, as did more than half of political independents (55 percent).

More good news!

In contrast, Democrats are overwhelmingly content with the overall field of candidates, with 82 percent who say they are satisfied. Self-described progressives (85 percent), liberals (86 percent) and moderates (63 percent) also express strong satisfaction with the current candidates.

The time has come in this country for the misnamed “conservatives” to just plain give up all hope.

What the Bush-kissers’ occupation of Iraq really means:

Two former high-level Bush administration officials who served in Iraq told our committee that the State Department routinely turns a blind eye toward Iraqi government corruption.

The result: billions of U.S. tax dollars, as well as guns, ammunition, medical supplies and other equipment are siphoned off and diverted to the insurgents and militias who are killing American soldiers. According to the witnesses, unchecked corruption means U.S. taxpayers are funding, arming and equipping both sides in the Iraq war.

RB,

To be honest, I don’t know that much about the windfall profit tax hoolabalooey, which is why I didn’t try and debate it’s pros and cons yesterday.

I didn’t bring up taxes yesterday in the sense that I wanted to talk about them, only in the general sense that you and Mr. Devil claim that businesses don’t pay them, and by that logic, businesses don’t really pay for anything.

I suspect you do not know that much about the windfall tax profit either, or you’d be telling us how horrible they are in blessed detail. I’m perfectly aware that anytime a business is forced a cost, they pass that cost on to the consumer.

I suspect it is one of those phrases you’ve heard associated with Clinton (Obama isn’t advocating it from what I could tell - I read a little bit about it yesterday - not enough to understand it, because I’m “tax challenged,” but to know that Obama hasn’t said, and again, at least to my limited knowledge, that he’s all for that), and since it is something that Clinton has mentioned, then it must be all bad.

Personally, what I’ve read about it, I don’t see a problem with it, we are in a war aren’t we?

Anywho, like I said, I don’t know that much about it.

Like I said yesterday, if they are implemented, I see more layoffs, and higher gas prices - businesses are in business solely to make a profit, and that’s capitalism at it’s best.

But that’s one thing I have a real problem with - big businesses putting $$$$ before country.

You know, I meant to tell you earlier, RE Katrina - as far as the local officials go, I think about the absolute f@cking chaos those people were in at the time - and the complete enormity of the destruction - I think in hindsight it’s easy to lay some blame on local officials because it’s really easy, but I dare say put anyone in that situation, and they couldn’t have handled it any better - not even some of the “know it alls” here.

America learned a lot of hard lessons about our lack of national security because of Dubya’s incompetence following Hurricane Katrina — and no, the governor of LA did not “sit on” her hands; it was Dubya who sat on his hands!

Two days later, on Sept. 2, Blanco complained to the White House that FEMA had still failed to fulfill its promises of aid. While cloaked in customary political courtesies, Blanco noted that she had already requested 40,000 more troops; ice, water and food; buses, base camps, staging areas, amphibious vehicles, mobile morgues, rescue teams, housing, airlift and communications systems, according to a press office e-mail of the text of her letter to Bush.

At a meeting of the Academy of American Diplomacy yesterday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that the U.S. should engage Iran with “a combination of incentives and pressure.” We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage … and then sit down and talk with them,” Gates said.

It IS sad to what depths Dubya’s ignorance and incompetence are on display:

In a statement, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., shot across the bow: “It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy - to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

The real shame is that you liberals so freely throw out the term ‘fascist’ to describe Republicans when nothing could be further from the truth. Socialist does describe someone who wants government ownership and or control of the means of production and confiscatory tax rates as well as complete control of all financial institutions. That describes most liberal Democrats.

A fascist is a socialist with an extreme nationalist bent. That cannot describe the Republican party. If you just don’t believe in capitalism and free markets, please just say so and accept the lable socialist.

RW,

Check out how our Georgia Reps voted on the $300 Billion dollar Farm Bill Boondoggle:

GEORGIA

Democrats — Barrow, Y; Bishop, Y; Johnson, Y; Lewis, Y; Marshall, Y; Scott, Y.

Republicans — Broun, N; Deal, N; Gingrey, Y; Kingston, Y; Linder, N; Price, N; Westmoreland, N.

Linder, Price, and Westmoreland (and George Bush) got it right.

The vast majority of this boondoggle goes to food stamps and other “nutrition programs” and supplying fresh fruit and vegetables to the kiddies (most of which will end up in the trash).

I guess many Republicans agree with Bambi that it’s the Great Depression all over again, and that parents are too poor and incompetent to pack a lunch for their own kids, including such high end items as… apples.

Morningstar - I can remember the circumstances in 1976 only too clearly. Old Dummy Carter, with his insipid toothy grin, was running against Ford, complaining vociferously about the price of everthing from gas to bread. He also complained that the Republicans had done nothing about energy independence and alternative fuels. By the end of his administration, interest rates were over 20%. The rate of inflation was at 13% annually. We had gas SHORTAGES thanks to his failed energy policies - which amounted to rearranging the federal bureaucracy and creating a Department of Energy. Much the same will happen under Obama. He actually wants to RAISE the price of petroleum products with a windfall profits tax! So does Hitlery.

Remember what happened to the Democrats after four years of Old Dummy Carter? Well, expect the same. I just hope we survive the four years of an even more incompetent Barak H. Obama.

That’s why so many conservative Democrats are beating wishy washy Republicans. It’s going to funny when the moonbat(ic)s® hold their great celebration, only to find that in the end conservatism carried the day. Too bad so many Republicans are too stupid to figure that out.

The other day the idiots that adorn the halls of Congress voted to ensure that oil would never fall below $75.00 a barrel again and they did it in a bipartisan and overwhelming manner. Let’s hope the conservative Democrats in the next Congress come to their senses and put that piece of legislation on the scrap heap where it belongs.

RB,

I think you are attacking without provocation.

I agree with the first two sentences of your second paragraph from the previous post - then as usual, you start ranting without provocation.

For one thing:

“And it’s all part of the class warfare attack on “big oil” as if the oil companies were some evil rich white guy trying keep the poor man down. If not, why bring it up?”

Um, I didn’t bring it up, that was you, actually it was RW, I think.

And, I don’t discuss things in terms of “class warfare attack(s)” and “white guys keeping the poor down.” That’s just silly talk.

What many people don’t understand about oil, and from what I can tell, is that the oil prices have more to do with the demand in China. Oil prices directly affect the prices of everything else - including milk.

“You people are playing with fire in this whole discussion of windfall taxes. And you’re being dishonest.”

We people? Not this people. Like I said, I don’t bring up things I know little about. And I’ve yet to see an actual “discussion” about it.

Apparently from your last post about it, you’d rather attack and assume than explain, which is pretty typical for you, but if you’d like to explain to me exactly why it is bad, other than job losses and higher gas prices, which I don’t think is a good thing, I’m all for it.

And, BTW, I don’t need your credit, it means nothing to me, to me that’s kind of like getting an endorsement from Rev. Hagee, but thanks anyway.

Random thoughts..

Katrina: During the week prior, our Cajun neighbors across the street (and the Weather Channel, BTW) were hypervigilant to the potential disaster. Bush/FEMA could/should have been at the border, ready.

Bush was anxious last week to bust through government/protocol to get to the Myanmar victims; a fraction of that tenacity would have gone a long way in NO.

Curious George: Everybody seems to have forgotten the “Incurious George” Tshirts, buttons and novelty products sporting Bush’s morphed likeness in the recent past.

Remember the “Separated at Birth?” photos of Bush and the chimpanzee, with the exact same facial expressions (protruding, pursed lips, wide eyes)?

How did my lack of empathy or sympathy for their poor decision making, get exaggerated to “they deserve to die”. I did not say they deserve to die, i just do not give a tinker’s dam one way or the other.

Oh, while I am thinking about it, does anyone remember how many days or weeks in advance this storm was identified and forecast? I seem to recall it was far enough in advance that even if one had only started walking (assuming they knew they lived in a bowl below sea level) they could have found refuge somewhere on the other side of the levee, on higher ground.

Contact your Conservative democrat Senators and have them open the debate back up like it should be:

{{{{60 scientists wrote a letter to the Canadian prime minister asserting that the science is deteriorating from underneath global warming alarmists: ‘Observational evidence does not support today’s computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future. … Significant (scientific) advances have been made since the (Kyoto) protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary.’}}}}

{{{{Among the noted converts is Claude Allegre, a member of the French Socialist Party and a former Minister of National Education. Allegre is also a member of the French and U.S. Academy of Sciences. He once was a believer in the “science” behind global warming, but no more. He, too, wants a debate and his ranks are growing.}}}}

With such polished credentials one would think Claude Allegre would be a wealth of accurate information. However, Claude Allegre has never published a single peer review paper directly related to climate change or global warming. Basically, the only material he has printed with regard to climate change is a four paragraph opinion piece on climate change in the French newspaper L’Express. (English translation here) In the past Claude Allegre used global warming to defend the nuclear industry from the anti-nuclear movement………. So why all the strong emotions and personal attacks on people that he used to agree with? Now that increasing carbon taxes are a real possibility, some feel that his flip flop on global warming is an attempt to protect the fossil fuel industry just like he protected the nuclear industry in the past.

Daniel,

First the “argument” was that the Republicans losing three long held seats was a good thing for the GOP! You know, it would allow the nation to see how the Dems were as incompetent as the previous office holders. Uh, OK….

Now, a scant day later, the argument is that it is “conservative” Dems who will win all of the seats that the GOP is certainly going to cede in November.

Fact check time.

“The Republicans were in horrible trouble in 1976. They lost the presidency and had tiny minorities in the Congress.”

Incorrect. They were out-manned tremendously.

94th US Congress

US Senate

Republican: 39 Democratic: 61

US House of Representatives

Republican: 144 Democratic: 291

“However, they came roaring back thanks to the incompetence of the Democrats.”

Also, incorrect.

The GOP actually continued losing seats in the ensuing terms of Congress. Until finally in 1981, after 32 years in the minority they FINALLY became the majority party.

But alas, in the very next Congress and for the following three they were again right back where they belonged.

They did have a little 10 year run (can you say the current neo-con clusterf&ck?) but once again are on the short end of the stick looking at yet more hemorrhaging.

Republicans were in the minority in the US House for forty consecutive years and the US Senate for 32 straight.

And after this administration they may be looking at another forty.

Face the facts, neo-cons!

This nation has a long and demonstrable 50 year history of not caring for Republican leadership in Congress. At all. It is almost always a losing proposition, and the electorate knows it…

You know, that sounds an awful lot like Karl Marx’s saying “It is the opium of the people”.

However, that quote is taken out of context. What he really said was

“Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”

Yes, there are indeed a small handful of reasonable and decent Republicans in the Senate - those mentioned from Maine, RI and especially the combat vet with the courage and intellect to stand up to the worst president in US history and say, “No sir. You are flat out wrong.” - Chuck Hagel.

And I still contend that McCain could turn out to be very effective at reducing the moronic neo-con intolerance and intransigence that have become the very hallmarks of this GOP.

We just may get the chance to see.

Daniel,

“Permanent Republican Majority”?

Holy Shiite, Batman!

Perish the thought!

And though I am cautious about using this word, it ain’t NEVER gonna happen. At least in my lifetime.

It is just another moronic slogan from the reality challenged numbskulls who gave us SO many others recently.

The neo-con situation and future in American politics is as secure as the Taliban’s in Afghanistan.

Always flitting around the edges of civilized society trying desperately to cause mayhem and fear.

Now the gutless bast@ards are cutting and running from their very recently once-beloved CIC and the entire Republican Party, using the demented “reasoning” that these true blogging patriots stand alone as the TRUE conservatives while the entire GOP is NOW apparently not. At least since they started getting ar$kicking after ar$kicking.

SIAS,

Here’s the rest of the context for ya’:

Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man—state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d’honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

IF this is not just more political rhetoric it could be indeed a MOST welcome change from King George II.

“I’m not interested in partisanship that serves no other purpose than to gain a temporary advantage over our opponents. This mindless, paralyzing rancor must come to an end. We belong to different parties, not different countries,”

Democrats will be asked to serve in his administration, he will hold weekly news conferences and, like the British prime minister, will answer questions publicly from lawmakers.

McCain also pledges to halt a Bush administration practice of enacting laws with accompanying signing statements that exempt the president from having to enforce parts he finds objectionable.

“I will respect the responsibilities the Constitution and the American people have granted Congress,” the senator said, “and will, as I often have in the past, work with anyone of either party to get things done for our country.”

No wonder these d!ckheads and TRUE conservative blogging patriots loathe him so…

Meanwhile, his good buddy Chocolate moved his family out of the road and then stood there and watched the man get run over while making no effort whatsoever to help the man out of the street. Once bloodied and near death, Chocolate, instead of giving the man CPR, calls 911 and stands there watching the man die until they arrive.

I WANT them to wear their ignorance like a Grand Wizard’s cape…front and center, proudly, publicly, continually.

I want them to show themselves for who they are so that they can be known, denounced and rejected, much like the country is knowing, denouncing and rejecting the whole NeoCon/Christian Coalition/”Conservative” movement.

These folks have given Christianity two black eyes and cornholed the American public without a reacharound.

This country has just taken a seven-year swig of “conservative Christian” ipicac, and what’s coming back up in November ain’t going to be pretty. Necessary, but not pretty. And there’s no one to blame but themselves.

“your rejection of your Creator has created a lack of purpose…”

Because I will slam you if you do.

Until that time, I’m going to continue to as-sume that by saying around the corner you really meant “Iraq” where we are the force of good and the suicide bombers and “throatcutters” are evil defined, would you like to debate otherwise?

{{{{but you will find that the overwhelming majority of folks getting their hands dirty with social issues and community service are LI-BE-RAL.}}}}

Since it is a known fact that Conservatives and Christians are far more charitable with both their time and money than you libs are, it comes as no surprise that the subject matter would change to “inflation.”

I see your presidential nominee grasping his money as though it is a lifeboat in a stormy sea, nary a penny of it to spare for the poor, so again I must as-sume that you pinkos are “helping” the poor by “saving” the planet for them, or whatever other ridiculous easy little magic act that you can conjure up in a puff of smoke to make it look as though you are “doing something.” And to soothe your guilty consciences for being such sorry, depraved little freaks.

But then I see the results of your efforts; skyrocketing energy and food prices, and being that I am a normal, well adjusted person, I must ask, how exactly does this “help” the poor?

And you desperately want to make it worse for them, you long for it, don’t you?

You know that you can just blame it on “inflation” or perhaps “Bushie” and just move right on to your next silly notion that results in mass murder of the poor.

What a life, eh?

Wow…speaking through the well-padded cushion of your chair again.

Do you have multiple personalities?

By “around the corner” I meant FEAR, AJC. So many American “Christians” hold the same narrow views (“Ours is the ONLY way of believing) as do the radical Muslim characatures that they so fear.

I’d love to discuss charity and service with you, but how could I even begin a rational conversation with someone who believes that a person must either be Christian OR liberal? If you truly believe that, then you would be worthless in an exchange of understanding and ideas.

Check your earlier post. You, AJC, brought up the subject of higher prices, I just referred to it later as “inflation.” Didn’t switch topics at all, you did.

Again, maybe you have me confused with some other poster on another blog?

Continuing on…I have no presidential nominee, so not quite sure what the rest of the blather in that paragraph is about. Not quite sure who you are talking to in the subsequent paragraphs either; you seem to be taking someone’s inventory but it’s not mine.

Again, do you by chance cross-post on different blogs, and are confused?
