Look at the Urinal Ombudsman lie about the Urinal not lying:

{{{{There are too many checks and balances for this to happen in most newsrooms. Anonymous sources are rarely used in the AJC. When unnamed sources are used, their credibility and motives are vetted by skeptical editors at the highest level.}}}}

We’re so honest, honestly!

A total fabrication issued to deny all the other total fabrications.

It’s like holding a mirror up to a mirror, the lying just stretches into infinity.

When you slant the news to put your agenda into a favorable light, you destroyed the accuracy of the story, not to mention, you’re as biased as they come.

It is not your mission to change the world, klowns, you are reporters, duh.

Other than some occasional negative hit piece, where’s the McCain campaign coverage? Doesn’t he deserve some fawning over like Obambi is getting?

{{{{Countdown 2008: ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE: Former Obama adviser stirs up more controversy- Washington —- A former adviser to Barack Obama who resigned Friday after calling rival Hillary Clinton “a monster” said Obama may not be able to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq within a year as he has promised on the campaign trail.-Urinal}}}}

Yeah, former advisor by one day, that’s not too much of a lie.

So where is the good coverage from Iraq at? Are you not able to find any? Have your editors rejected the Coalition as a “reputable” source?

Here, I can help:

{{{{Iraqi president pays landmark visit to Turkey- ANKARA (AFP) — Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is expected in Ankara on Friday to begin a landmark visit aimed at mending fences in the wake of a Turkish military offensive against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq. The Baghdad government has acknowledged the threat the PKK poses to Turkey and “this gives us an opportunity to re-focus on diplomacy in 2008,” he said.}}}}

Iraq and Turkey practicing diplomacy, now that’s not any good for the lib agenda is it?

How about climate change:

{{{{All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time.}}}}

Temperatures are not heading in the direction the AJC wants them to, so let’s not report it, eh?

Yeah, the AJC, a regular Monument To Honesty And Accuracy.

Why don’t you give yourselves another award?

Taxes ruined America. There’s no taxes in democracies. Taxes ruined the democrat’s chances for the white house. What went wrong? Lets just think about that for a moment. There wasn’t supposed to be any taxes. Taxes have eliminated Obamamania as certainly as if he had said he’s more popular than Jesus Christ. Jeb Bush has a better chance at being the next president than Obama. All because of taxes. There’s not one word in the declaration of independence about no taxes. Without Obama and now Hillary, who’s campaign has been completely torpedoed by taxes, the GOP should rule the white house and the congress for the next 340 years.

It was taxes what kilt the liberal feast.

Well, I’m looking at snow outside the trailer this a.m. and I will wring the neck of the first person to bring up global warming. Bunch of morans.

I didn’t see my county in any rush to bring down what they first said my trailer was worth, now that housing prices has fell. And from what I can tell, this Burkhalter bill would of kept my trailers value right where it is now.

I guess I’m with jbmlaw more than ever. Just get rid of taxes and most guvmint. The states can just hold a raffle to get money to run them. Except for the army. Anyhow, you won’t never see a state guvmint lowering taxes. They will find some way to keep them where they are or raise them.

And be sure to vote Republican so we can just borrow what we spend instead of taxing people for it. We can stick the Red Chinese with the bill and that way none of us will get taxed for it. One day we can just tell them we ain’t going to pay and if they don’t like it we got a few hundered A-bombs to pay them with.

Have a good day everybody and I hope Sister Dusty don’t break out in poetry again today. My grandson little Sonny Zell George can write better stuff than her and if Wooten don’t give us some mercy from her stuff some of us are going to have to quit the blog.

Now, if you Georgians have your way and my people have to send me clear down to Atlanta for work, I just want to get us straight on this business of taxes. Old Cal Coolidge used to say that “the business of America is business.”

Well neighbors, I’ve got news for you all, because that just isn’t true any more. These days, America IS a business. And it’s got 50 regional headquarters, and each of them has hundreds if not thousands of branch offices. Counties, parishes, cities and townships, school districts, fire districts, parklands, forests — the list, my friends, is endless. And that’s just at the state level. The point is that all of this business, America Incorporated, runs on taxes.

So before you go asking what you’re getting for those taxes, or go congratulating yourselves on defeating tax increases, kindly stop and think about how you just might be stopping the growth and prosperity of the only business we ALL own, together. America, Inc.

Yeah Liberal Redneck Playergirl had to bring up Atlanta snow flurries in March knowing full well someone like me would fast bring that Al Sore junkass science b!tchslap up. They can’t even qualify down at AMS right now in this 35 degree snow-flurried morning. You know liberals are full of crap when they attempt to snow and freezing temps as one of the byproducts of SUV and cow fart-induced global warming. (Less than 5% of CO2 emissions given off on the planet are man made, but who’s paying attention to details when the emotionalism of liberalism rules the roost). Anyway…

WASHINGTON - The United States and Iraq are opening negotiations in Baghdad on a blueprint for a long-term relationship, plus a narrower deal to define the legal basis for a U.S. troop presence, a Pentagon official said Friday.

Yeah, we need to pull our troops out now. Let’s all follow the democrats to failure.

OSLO (Reuters) - Sea levels are set to fall over millions of years, making the current rise blamed on climate change a brief interruption of an ancient geological trend, scientists said on Thursday. They said oceans were getting deeper and sea levels had fallen by about 170 meters (560 ft) since the Cretaceous period 80 million years ago when dinosaurs lived. Previously, the little-understood fall had been estimated at 40 to 250 meters.

Gee, I thought the Al Sorebots told us seas were going to rise and NYC was going to be flooded with superstorms - or melted iceburgs with stranded polar bears taking over the city - or some liberal hysteria like that. Didn’t they make a movie about that called the Next Day After Yesterday’s Tomorrow? Or something like that?

Are we getting tired of this Owl Gore junkass science yet? Whatever a liberal is for, just go against it. You can’t go wrong. Really.

Republicans were headed to an election-year disaster.

Guess what Jimbo? They still are.

To be sure, the RINO liberal McCain has a great chance to be our next CIC, and here in the Moron Belt, the “faithful” will do their godly duty and vote with anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who has an R following his name.

But if I were a gambling man, I’d wager that around this country from Maine to California, from Florida to Washington, the GOP is going to suffer another bloodbath.

Both on Capitol Hill and in most state houses where the electorate are educated enough to see they’ve been completely had by posers and these bungling “conservative” frauds.

But yes here in Georgia, the Bush apologists, the filthy-rich dogmatic charlatans and never-served chest pounders will probably yet again avoid elucidation and return the same “leaders” we endure today…

More minority and poor students in Denver are being classified as highly gifted under a new system that gives extra credit to children who are economically disadvantaged or nonnative English speakers. Denver Public Schools is trying to fix a disparity in the program that serves its smartest and most talented students — which up until now has drawn mostly white students in a district that is mostly Latino.

Now that’s what I call affirmative action. Hell if we don’t have enough non-whites and the poor in the program, let’s just make it easier for non-whites and the poor to get in! But wait a minute. Aren’t whites and the wealthy minorities in Denver? Oh hell, liberalism has me so confused.

It’s been written in stone that we are trapped in Iraq for generations. So stfu about it. Old news, Pepe Lepew.

I have a movie to recommend now out on dvd, “Romance and Cigarettes” with 2 supranos stars, and susan sarandon. This is a rare comedy. It actually gets funnier the second time through, but that’s not to criticize the first stupifying view. It’s a kaliadascope of acting crescendo that walks a pocket knife edge of stinking really bad, but never does; and with temerity like that, this movie soars above any movie I’ve seen in years. Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon.

Susan Sarandon would hate me if she knew I felt this way, but if only the world had only susan sarandon clones for bride choices, we could eliminate the adultery commandment.

Make sure you’ve got the time to watch this movie twice. Every scene tops the one that came a’for it. there are scenes where all the actors, in a quartet of scene stealing, rip and riff the scenery apart. It will rip you apart too.

Brilliant. Haunting. True. You’ll laugh, cry, choke, sing, nurse, lust and want to die.

Dont miss this movie.

Dear AmVet @ 9:19, I think I’ll take that bet. All we need to wipe out the dems will be one stupid leftist Supreme Court decision. The record the dems have put together is abysmal. Federal expenditures up, proposing the largest tax increase in the history of the world, constricting the military’s effort to wipe out those who would kill Americans at every juncture, failure to approve qualified conservative appointees - the democrats have proven themselves unfit. I think that is why Congress’s approval rating is so low.

Angela Tuck is a lie. She is an existential lie. She was made to lie. She lies so big that she’s been awarded no fewer than sixteen honorary J.D.’s—-some of them even from accredited law schools. So incomparable is her magnificent lying that Bill Clinton, reading her lies, was once was so embarrassed that he developed chronic Rosacea. A fellow tends to remember an experience like that, and Bill has never forgotten it.

When, say, a drug dealer needs a liar, he calls Hugh Rodham. When Hugh Rodham needs a liar he calls his sister Hillary. When Hillary Clinton needs a liar she calls Bill. But when Bill Clinton needs a liar he relies on The Pubic Editor, Angela Tuck. Because Bill noes that if Angela can’t edit the Public, nobody can.

She is the lie that gives the lie to the lies that lie beneath the dignity of even the worst liars in all lying journalism. The lie that she is begins and ends with her continued serviceability as Public Editor, an Orwellian title that is itself a lie told to mislead readers into the belief that this newspaper has an Ombudsman.

As long as that Lie remains in that lie of a job, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution will remain a lie upon lies upon a forgotten truth that lies somewhere, abandoned.

Clinton Reassured Canada concerning NAFTA!!!!!

OTTAWA (AFP) - US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton’s campaign, while rapping rival Barack Obama for telling US voters he is anti-NAFTA and saying otherwise to Canada, tried to reassure Canada too, local media said Thursday.

A top aide of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper meanwhile was identified as the likely source of an alleged leak that provoked a diplomatic fiasco involving both US Democratic presidential contenders.

Last month, Harper’s chief of staff, Ian Brodie, purportedly made impromptu remarks to journalists about Clinton’s US presidential bid, said Canadian reports.

The offhand comments apparently sought to downplay the potential impact on Canada of Clinton and Obama’s attacks on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) during stops in the US state of Ohio.

Brodie told reporters that the Clinton campaign had called the Canadian embassy in Washington to tell officials to take her anti-NAFTA rhetoric “with a grain of salt,” said local media.

Around the same time, a news agency reported that a Canadian government memo detailed a meeting between Obama’s chief economic advisor Austan Goolsbee and officials from the Canadian consulate in Chicago.

The memo reportedly said Goolsbee noted Obama’s attacks on NAFTA should not be taken out of context, citing fiercely protectionist sentiment in Ohio about the pact and political positioning as a motivation.

Thursday, US Ambassador David Wilkins told public broadcaster CBC this amounted to Canadian political interference in the US political process. “It certainly shouldn’t have happened; it was interference,” he said.

The affair has certainly embarrassed Canada’s diplomatic corps and may have cost Obama votes in the crucial Ohio primaries earlier this week.

The 1994 trade pact created the largest trading bloc in the world by eliminating import tariffs on goods circulating among partners Canada, the United States and Mexico.

In a televised debate last month in Ohio, both Obama and Clinton said if the next US president is a Democrat, Mexico and Canada would be pressured to renegotiate NAFTA.

But free trade and NAFTA in particular is a fiercely contentious issue in Ohio, which has been badly hit by the flight of blue collar jobs abroad, and increased global economic competition.

As the scandal unfolded, Clinton accused Obama’s campaign of giving the Canadian government “the old wink-wink” while Republican nominee John McCain said it showed Obama was not a straight shooter.

Obama countered: “Nobody reached out to the Canadians to try to assure them of anything.”

Goolsbee’s meeting with Canadian Consul General Georges Rioux was later confirmed, but Goolsbee said his remarks were misrepresented.

The Clinton camp has not yet commented on the latest allegations, but acknowledged Canada’s Obama smudge gave her campaign a “significant” boost during the recent US primaries.

The Canadian prime minister’s office has said Brodie “does not recall” making the statements to reporters said to have set off the scandal, and Harper himself denied that Brodie leaked any information.

Dear PoFo @ 9:37, more info please. The only new movies I saw last year were The Simpsons and Juno, both of which were my style (I probably would have liked Enchanted also.) I’ve never seen the Sopranos, but I will admit that I have enjoyed the Susan Sarandon movies I have seen, despite her politics. IMDB mentions similarity to the Coen brothers’s style, and that is not a plus for me, as “Oh Brother” was the only one of theirs I find tolerable. Is this my style movie or not.

Clinton is one of the most secretive politicians in America

“Senator Clinton is one of the most secretive politicians in America today,” Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe said in a conference call with reporters. “She has consistently refused to release her tax returns. They have said they are going to release them around [April] 15, but there is no reason why the prior six years of tax returns couldn’t be released right now.”

Obama strategist David Axelrod said Clinton is the least-vetted candidate in the presidential field because of her refusal to disclose the documents.

“Considering the huge amounts of money they have made in recent years, they’ve contributed their money to the campaign, some of those relationships financially have been with individuals who have come under quite a bit of scrutiny for possible ethics transgressions, its essential to know where the American people are getting there money from,” Plouffe said Thursday.

“If Sen. Clinton is not being open and honest about her tax returns or her experience on the campaign trial, you have to wonder if she’ll be open and honest with the American people as president,” he added.

Headline: “House Passes Tax Hike for Oil Companies”

Another brilliant idea of the Democrat-led congress I see. Sayeth they:

“Middle-class families and small businesses are feeling the squeeze from rising costs for gasoline, food, and other costs of living,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) in a statement. “Unfortunately, the Democrats’ ‘no energy’ bill will only make matters worse by raising taxes and setting the table for even higher prices at the pump.”

Gee. Ya tink? Go ahead, RATs, raise taxes on corporations and businesses too and watch those jobs fly off the shelves, literally.

But Boehner said the “worst” parts of the bill are the provisions on foreign oil. “It actually carves out tax breaks for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez - courtesy of American taxpayers,” said Boehner. “This is unacceptable, and the Democratic leadership is irresponsible for bringing the bill to the House floor.”

“I am disappointed that the Majority voted down a Republican proposal to eliminate the tax relief for Hugo Chavez and give it to those who need it most: middle-class American families,” he said. “The largest tax increase in American history is on the horizon, and House Republicans are committed to stopping it.”

Surprised? Me neither. Democrats and especially Jimmuh Cartuh, never met a dictator they didn’t adore. This has to be the first tax relief in history the liberal RAT party didn’t threaten to withdraw.

YOU?!

Counselor, after catching my breath from laughing so hard, I contend that you wouldn’t recognize a conservative if he had lunch with you.

Like most of the apologists, you have contended over and over and over that these incompetent neo-cons ARE “conservative”.

Have another cup of coffee. MUCH of the electorate finally sees through the charade. Even millions who voted for arguably the worst President in American history now repudiate this agenda as totally out of touch with mainstream, working class Americans.

The finally discounted and completely irrelevant Reaganism and the endless b!tching about Clinton and the low marks for a Congress that is still HEAVILY neo-con no longer act as an effective cloak. But nice try to keep slinging it out there.

The GOP is imploding and rightfully so. And EVERYONE knows it. And even the bumbling Democrats cannot save them this time. (Sorry Mr. Wooten.)

But then the once Grand Old Party has worked VERY hard for nearly three decades to deserve this outcome.

McCain’s nomination at the expense of the “conservative” frauds also in the running is a baby step in the right direction to be sure, but I see none of the necessary party-wide epiphanies ahead (excluding McCain and Hagel) and therefore no real hope, for these intransigent go-it-alone, ready, fire, aim crusaders.

Only in Kalifornia:

“We find no reason to strike down the Legislature’s evaluation of what constitutes an adequate education scheme sufficient to promote the ‘general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence,’” the court said in the case. “We agree … ‘the educational program of the State of California was designed to promote the general welfare of all the people and was not designed to accommodate the personal ideas of any individual in the field of education.’”

From the Shrillary files:

“Do not allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles. If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness. The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions.”

Har dee f&cking har!

The neo-cons have had innumerable chances over the past thirty years to sell their unique brand of ideology to America. And amazingly it once worked!

But now even countless lifelong Republicans are leaving the party as they see the Reagan/Gingrich/Bush-Cheney train wreck finally come home to roost.

I have also said repeatedly that the only man among those original ten to run for the GOP nomination who wasn’t just another predictably complete Republican joke was John McCain.

Apparently the rest of the country, other than the ever-dwindling Reagan “faithful” who detest him, felt the same way.

And this bodes very well for America and perhaps even the GOP…

Additional searches in New York were also conducted in connection to the latest incident. The two past incidents — at the British Consulate in 2005 and the Mexican Consulate in 2007 — each involved a person who cased the scene, tossed homemade hand grenades at the official buildings in the early morning hours and then escaped on a bicycle, according to surveillance images and witnesses. Authorities have not ruled out or firmly linked the incidents beyond the commonalities in the method of attack and escape.

In Canada, meanwhile, as FBI agents met with that country’s law enforcement and national security authorities, two individuals linked to the car stop were the subject of intense scrutiny 24 hours a day, law enforcement officials said.

That case began, ABC News has learned, about a month ago when a vehicle was stopped heading into Canada at the Phillipsburg, Quebec-Highgate Springs, Vt. border crossing. The vehicle was ruled suspicious when authorities decided there was too much luggage for the two occupants. Subsequently, Canadian authorities established that a total of five had attempted to cross the border but three of them had left the car and walked across, evading the checkpoint.

ABC News sources said of the five men, two were French, one was Italian and two were Canadian. The Canadians are known to police and are being closely watched. The other three men men appear to have left Canada.

Nobody’s fault but Obama’s

In 2007, the United States as a whole did more than US$560-billion of trade with Canada, and almost US$350-billion of trade with Mexico. Close to a trillion dollars in total. Obama’s own state of Illinois does more business with Canada than with its next five trading partners combined. This is a big, big set of relationships that govern the prosperity of tens of millions of people.

Was Austan Goolsbee free-lancing when he whispered his reassurances to the Canadian Consul General? Or was he executing a campaign organization request? If the latter, Goolsbee was the perfect man for the job. He is no campaign hack. He is a very distinguished academic economist, a professor at the University of Chicago. He is likely to serve as chairman of the council of economic advisors in an Obama administration, and perhaps ultimately at a senior level in the Treasury. Goolsbee’s words would carry weight.

On the other hand, Goolsbee’s words were inevitably bound to spread. As it happened, his words spread from Canada. Very likely, however, they could just as easily have spread from Mexico City or from Goldman Sachs or from Continental Grain or from General Motors.

Or from all of them at the same time.

What about Obama’s big backers on Wall Street? In the month of January, Obama raised more money from employees of Lehman Brothers than from any other company in America. Goldman Sachs ranked third, JP Morgan fourth, Citigroup fifth, Morgan Stanley sixth. Don’t you think these investment bankers might also have asked for some reassurances that Obama was not turning into some trade-bashing troglodyte?

The Obama campaign played a risky game of deception in Ohio. The risk backfired on them. That’s nobody’s fault but their own.

We corporatists bundle up for Obama.

jbmlaw, as an educated man, you think and write very poorly. And your improper use of the term logic is merely adding insult to injury.

To wit: I note only that conservative posts on this blog always reflect a critique of particular actions, and your post, like all leftist posts, lashed out at people without critique of any policy.

Your already highly suspect credibility is further diminished among those who apparently unlike you, do not place the ideology, you so stridently defend, first and foremost above all other considerations.

I, at least, have the objectivity to say that much of liberalism is also full of sh!t.

You and a tiny few others apparently still suffer from the lingering effects of Reagan’s psychotropic KoolAid. You know. The almost suicidal 11th Commandment, to speak no ill of another Republican.

“Not even sure if you like democracy”

No AmWay snakeoil salesweasel, I don’t like MOB RULE - or MAJORITY RULE, if you will. That’s what pure “democracy” is. If you ever read a book about our Founding Fathers and why we have an Electoral College, you’d understand that. One would think even an ignorant lib like you would be for the minorities and under-represented. Uh huh. That is, unless they don’t agree with your philosophies, right snakeoil salesweasel?

“Apparently the rest of the country, other than the ever-dwindling Reagan “faithful” who detest him, felt the same way.”

Well, if it makes you feel better saying that, so be it. But it’s not the truth. Weasel, you remind me of the age old adage: “say a lie loud enough and often enough, and even you will believe it to be true.”

Again, if you truly believe traditional Conservatism is dead and everyone is magically going to turn to the horseass neo-Marxist socialist pacifist liberalism that you apparently support, then by all means, keep living in Utopia.

jbm,

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya. (Top of your paycheck for Democrats.) Agree that Rufus be kickin’ bootay this AM. Azpuryoozhool.

Say, I think we can assume that the Giant P** Who Bombed Times Square (EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!) were anti-military crazies who couldn’t have done a better job of inviting backlash.

Those guys are so far down the Rabbit Hole that I can barely even take a wild stab at their logic. It often has to do with movement nostalgia, of course. But most of these anti-military punks are too young for their political memory to stretch back beyond Clinton. So who knows what they’re on about. Perhaps they think this act of exquisite cowardice—a ride-by Molotov toss (or whatever stupid thing) at a vacant storefront under cover of darkness—is a great feat of valor in arms, or something. Quixotic, yes, but lacking even Sancho’s courage.

Now the old Weather Underground—that’s a different story. Those guys had a nasty arsenal and no hesitation whatsoever. That was some deadly serious sh!t, and I have no frigging idea what in Sam Hill Mr. Obama thinks he’s doing hanging with some kingpin jailbird Weatherman capo. Good gawd. That is just so not funny.

That’s the thing about nostalgia: it ain’t what it used to be.

Rufus,

Keep kicking a$$. The ruling in CA is compliments of the NEA (CTA). It’ll go all the way to Diana Roberts and the Supremes. I had a meeting yesterday in Kennesaw to prepare a couple of amicus briefs going forward. I’d bet on my side. (And yes, sometimes I do bet against myself.)

So now in addition to a disastrous foreign policy the “conservatives” are going to have explain away an economy teetering on the edge in an election year.( Except to their fellow plutocrats and the oligarchy.)

WASHINGTON — Employers slashed 63,000 jobs in February, the most in five years and the starkest sign yet that the country is heading dangerously toward recession or is in one already.

The Labor Department’s report, released Friday, also indicated that the nation’s unemployment rate dipped from 4.9 percent in January to 4.8 percent last month as hundreds of thousands of people - perhaps discouraged by their prospects - left the civilian labor force.

Job losses were widespread, with hefty cuts coming from construction, manufacturing, retailing, financial services and a variety of professional and business services. Those losses swamped gains elsewhere, including education and health care, leisure and hospitality and the government.

The latest snapshot of the nation’s employment climate underscored the heavy toll of the housing and credit crises on companies, job seekers and the overall economy.

The word redacted by the DNC-AJC’s Little Engine that Won’t was “P!$sant”, so from now on, when you find the need for a description of such as the Times Square bicycle vandals, you might choose instead the derivative of that word, “pismire”. This concludes this regularly scheduled test of the Atlanta Journanal Publishing System.

AmVet,

As to Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment, it is worth noting that in 1976 his ambition led him to help unseat his party’s incumbent President, about whom Mr. Reagan had injurious things to say. For did not the Apostle warn that whereas the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak? So it is for those who lust for power.

Our Incumbent Republicans of the state of Georgia are ruled by several laws — laws they prefer to keep unspoken. Too bad. First is their “Law of Intended Consequences”. This law includes the basic premise that one never divulges the true intentions of one’s key legislation. To do so would force one to have to potentially defend one’s indefensible actions. Listen closely and you can hear their arrogance in every word: “You want the truth! You can’t handle the truth!”.

{{{{Democratic presidential contender Ku Klux Rodham tried to backpedal Friday from comments she made in October suggesting Mississippi was a backward place for women’s progress.}}}}

{{{{Speaking to radio station WJZD-FM in Gulfport, Miss., the former first lady said the comments she made about the state in the run up to the Iowa caucuses “were not exactly what I said,” even though they came directly from an interview she gave to the Des Moines Register in October.}}}}

Well of course I didn’t mean it.

{{{{“How can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That’s not what I see. That’s not the quality. That’s not the communitarianism; that’s not the openness I see in Iowa,” Hillary Clinton told the newspaper then - a remark that prompted immediate criticism from Mississippi Republicans.}}}}

Well, well, Misses Wordsmith let a fat one out of the barn:

Communitarians believe with America’s Founding Fathers that it is possible to build the good society based upon the core values of the American people as defined by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The values that define the American community include the belief that the society should provide its citizens with equality of opportunity, material well being, and the opportunity for individual self-fulfillment, and that it should operate on the principles of fairness, justice and compassion.

Yes, an “equal opportunity” to pick the potatoes in the social commune for your, and every one else’s, “material well being.”

Communitarianism springs from the recognition that the human being is by nature a social animal as well as an individual with a desire for autonomy. Communitarians recognize that a healthy society must have a correct balance between individual autonomy and social cohesion. Much recent thinking has focused on an assumed conflict between the rights of the individual and the responsibilities of the government. When you put “community” back into the equation, you find that the apparent conflict between the individual and the government can be resolved by public policies that are consistent with core American values and work to the benefit of all members of our society.

In other words, Socialism.

Let’s see, do I want the government setting limits for me and dictating what I need to be “materially well off?”

Uh, no.

You don’t need this big house, Mr. Duh, here, let’s move you into this nice government provided happy camp, where everybody has equal opportunities. You get the top bunk.

It would seem as though Hugo’s military is as lost as he is. Stratfor’s saying that it’s likely the Venezuelan troops lost their way in the jungle and strayed into Columbia.

Stratfor will continue to monitor the situation, but the incident which could have been manipulated spawned a deterioration in relations between Venezuela and Colombia might turn out to be the only shots fired in this dispute. Reports now suggest that at a March 7 summit, the presidents of Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia settled their diplomatic dispute. No shift in troop dispositions has yet been reported, but it reverses the recent downward trend in regional relations.

Hugo doesn’t know which end is up.

I can tell him….it’s his A$$.

He gives $300 million to the FARC guerillas and then claims the U.S. is behind the conflict. The little DICKtator is just flexing his muscle for the spectators.

“No country for old men” comes out on dvd tuesday.

Now the novel upset me because the writer used the cheapest trick in the world to develop a plot. Without ruining anything, imagine that you stumbled across an hours-old drug deal gone bad and 10 dead bodies. The money was right there so you took it. You went home scott free with 2.4 million dollars. No way to trace you. No way to find you. You won the lottery. Then, because you realized that one of the drug dealers was still alive and asked you for water in hispanic, you felt guilty and went back to the scene at night driving for hours to give the dying man a drink of water. WTF? Nobody would do that. I hate plot tricks, or lazy developmental techniques. The style is torture too, with little punctuation and the author drops the “g” in every gerund, you know, the way the Outlaw Josey Wales talks. Pathetic. Give that man the pulitzer prize.

But here’s suggesting that none of us should take seriously anything that politicians, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, have to say against NAFTA in particular or international trade in general. The reason is simple: They neither understand Wal-Mart nor do they routinely shop there.

In Ohio state sales taxes alone, the company paid $410.2 million in 2007. In other state and local taxes, it paid $82.4 million.

All of those Wal-Mart facilities and the money they generated were supported by one phenomenon: consumers, union and nonunion, employed by and laid off by domestic car companies and other manufacturing entities, seeking the highest quality products at the very best prices.

If Wal-Mart could not meet that essential consumer demand, it would not exist in Ohio or anywhere else. It certainly would not be the formidable retailer it is today.

What does that mean for the current political debate on international trade? Simply this: As long as politicians continue to ignore the Wal-Mart phenomenon, the consumer-driven reality of international trade, they are being dishonest. They are blowing smoke.

I might drink with my union buddies. I might tailgate with them. I might even join them in shouting “hooray” for Clinton or Obama. But if they can’t give me the car I want at the price I demand, I’m buying that nonunion Honda. If that means GM, Ford and Chrysler plants close, I’m sorry about that and all that means for my friends who will lose their jobs.

But they should have found a way to give me what I was willing to pay for. They should have understood why so many of us shop at Wal-Mart.

I’ll drink with them too, just not the liberal koolaid.

There are some interesting parallels between our upcoming elections and Spain’s. From Stratfor:

As Spain’s March 9 parliamentary election draw near, predicting a winner becomes more difficult. The incumbent prime minister, the Socialist Party’s Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has a 1 percent to 4 percent lead in the polls, but is seeking re-election amid an economic downturn, a backlash against immigration and popular dissatisfaction over his handling of the Basque separatist movement.

Zapatero’s liberal social policies — especially his role in legalizing gay marriage — has ignited a conflict between the government and the Roman Catholic Church, which is urging its many Spanish members to abstain from voting for Zapatero. His rival, Mariano Rajoy of the conservative People’s Party, stands to benefit from low voter turnout and has a real chance of gaining the victory.

The most important issues for Spanish voters are security and the economy. The economy has moved at a good clip for the past decade, with growth averaging 4 percent per year for the last four years. Halfway through 2007, however, that growth — began to dissipate. Growth has slowed down almost a full percentage point in the first quarter of 2008, consumer confidence has fallen to a 13-year low, and unemployment and inflation are rising.

The unemployment problem in great part stems from Zapatero’s liberal immigration policies, which have created much resentment. Five million people have immigrated to Spain in the past decade, and another 5 million are expected to arrive by 2015.

The high influx of immigrants affects the European Union as a whole, and Spain could become the prime example of how voters respond to it. Zapatero has fully endorsed immigration, trumpeting multiculturalism and granting amnesty to many illegal immigrants. But now the flows of foreigners from North Africa and Latin America have reached a high enough level to cause a backlash among native Spaniards, especially since unemployment recently rose above 2 million people. Rajoy will attract voters who feel that Zapatero’s lax immigration policy is really no policy at all and that his enlightened rhetoric about openness simply veils this fact.

Concerns about immigration feed into public fears of a repeat of the 2004 Madrid bombings. Zapatero’s victory in the election that year was the unexpected consequence of the attacks.

Moreover, withdrawing Spain’s troops from Iraq — and its support for the U.S. invasion — has meant that Zapatero’s credibility on security has depended solely on internal issues, specifically his dealings with Basque separatist group ETA. Many Spaniards believe he has failed in this area. After brokering a cease-fire in March 2006, a deal widely viewed as foolish and even traitorous, Zapatero learned the hard way about negotiating with terrorists when ETA resumed attacks that December and officially abandoned the truce in June 2007. The March 7 killing of a former city council member in the Basque town of Arrasate puts a sharp point on the Basque issue.

Madrid has not instituted enough reforms at the structural level to encourage growth, competitiveness and productivity, and will therefore have trouble bouncing back.

I think it’s safe to say that starry-eyed liberal solutions don’t work.

Now I’m gone. Really I am.

Really? We’ll see…

The girl in Clinton’s 3AM ad supports Obama

BONNEY LAKE, Wash. The political ad that sparked nationwide controversy turns out to have a surprising local connection.

One of the actors in the Hillary Clinton ad was shocked to see herself, especially because she’s a fierce supporter of Barack Obama. The so-called “red-phone ad” played a big role in Clinton’s win in Texas, suggesting Barack Obama is too inexperienced to handle a national crisis.

But the young girl starring in the ad will actually be voting age next month and says she’s no fan of Hillary Clinton. Thursday night, the Knowles family of Bonney Lake, Wash., watched the John Stewart Show and saw the ad for the first time.

“I looked and saw a girl that looked like my sister and we rewound it and sure enough it was my sister,” said Brady Knowles. The first girl in the ad is young Casey Knowles. It’s stock footage from 8 years ago when she worked as a TV extra - footage owned now by Getty Images and used by the Clinton campaign.

“It’s really sort of ironic that my image would be used to advocate for Hillary when I myself do not,” said Casey. She may only be 17, but Casey has some very strong political opinions. She turns 18 - legal voting age - in April, in plenty of time before the general election.

“It’s perfect timing because I have a candidate that I really identify with,” she said. “I’ve been campaigning for Barack Obama for a few months now,”

Back sooner than I expected. Stratfor doesn’t usually update much on the weekend, but if things are poppin’ they’re poppin’. Here ‘ya go:

Top Saudi cleric Grand Mufti Sheik Abdul-Aziz Abdullah al-Sheikh on March 8 cautioned Saudis on giving money to charities or organizations that finance “evil groups,” The Associated Press reported, citing a statement in the government-linked al-Okaz daily. Al-Sheikh said Saudis shouldn’t give to groups with “shabby reputations or unknown backing,” especially if the group is known for harming Islam and its followers. The comments are seen as a reference to al Qaeda, which has attacked foreigners in Saudi Arabia. Al-Sheikh’s warning comes after police found an audio message from al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri urging followers to collect funds for families in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Al Qaeda and jihadists have been stepped on. They’re now known as the remnants of Shabby Dogs.

Bikinimeanie, jbm, Shar et al, thanks for the movie tips. Seems like the field gets crowded with post-teen “films” at the end of the year, to qualify in L.A. and NY for awards, and the flicks come here, if at all, only later. It’s good in March to have help sorting them out.

“Juno” was a knockout display of ensemble acting, and an attempt at ethics that rates in seriousness right up there with “Harold & Maude” and maybe even the immortal “Pretty Woman”. But it’s a great ride.

“Michael Clayton” was so dead on (I believe that is called “verisimilitudinous”) in its dialogue that the movie made me want to resign from the viewing audience—-to give my two-week notice to the theatre manager and steal all the pens on the way out.

“Well, the bottom line is that it’s time for a time-out.” - George Snafunopoulos on the Shrill-Hussein spat

No, we need these two socialist monsters to take each other other - and their party with them. Need any help?

Meanwhile in other global walarmist scaremongering news, record snow…

CONCORD, N.H. — Another snowstorm swept across New England on Wednesday, toppling seasonal snowfall records and dumping so much heavy snow on buildings that some collapsed under the weight. An unoccupied summer pizza shop collapsed at Weirs Beach in Laconia, after the roof sagged about halfway into the two-story building and bowed the walls out, officials said.

It’s GOT to be tied to CO2 emissions and that rich beeyatch’s SUV!

Gee, you think that “unoccupied” summer pizza shop has seasonal employees who live at home with their parents and who are included in “poverty” statistics based on income?

Our current President avoided real service by (maybe, we cannot prove it) serving in Alabama during Vietnam. Mr. McCain is so inept he tore up—how many—aircraft and carriers before the enemy finally captured him so he couldn’t “help” the US anymore. I appreciate his service, but he really messed up a LOT. Not the kind of service record he should be bandying about. He also left his same age wife (who, I think, waited for him while he was a POW) and immediately after ditching her got himself a new, young, wealthy wife. Does that make him better or worse than Clinton? At any rate, not a representative for conservatives.

Mr. Obama is an inspirational speaker. Fine. Let him join the Toastmaster’s Club. Put a muzzle on his wife. They both need seasoning and a shot at living in the real world. Let them live in East St. Louis for a couple of years working in construction and waitressing. Then maybe he can flesh out his ideas and she can learn how to be proud of her country.

Mrs. Clinton. Well, she, by her aggressiveness and her “family values” has pizzed off most white men who want her to stay in the kitchen. Looks like they would LIKe a woman who took so much shtz and stayed married. She has got to learn she can’t be all things to all people.

So, what have we got? Three people who, put together, could not effectively serve as President. Plus their baggage (spouses). I am so excited about this election!

So the nightmare election year continues unabated for the non-conservative “conservatives” (hat tip jbmlaw!) who have no clue what it even is.

First, eight staunchly neo-coneheads and a way out Libertarian all fall in VERY ugly fashion to the ultra-liberal Arizona Republican. (In other words, a political moderate.) The was a man who was given up for dead just a few weeks ago, virtually broke and absolutely loathed by the “conservative” GOP power brokers.

Then pathetically desperate attempts by the “conservative” Rush Limberger and other “conservative” oracles to prop-up the villainized Sen. Clinton were laughable at best as it now appears that Sen. Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

How in the name of the most anointed “conservative” Ronald Reagan (trumpets sounded here) are they now expected to energize the sheep, I mean… “conservative” base? A late run by the “conservative” Pat Robertson?

Perhaps, just perhaps, the following has something to do with this great non “conservative” news: (Be forewarned. You may have to read these numbers twice to truly appreciate just how abysmal they are)

Feb. 20, 2008 George W. Bush’s overall job approval rating has dropped to a new low in American Research Group polling as 78% of Americans say that the national economy is getting worse according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.

Among all Americans, 19% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 77% disapprove. When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 14% approve and 79% disapprove.

Among Americans registered to vote, 18% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 78% disapprove. When it comes to the way Bush is handling the economy, 15% of registered voters approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 79% disapprove.

A total of 78% of Americans say the national economy is getting worse and 47% say the national economy is in a recession. A total of 42% of Americans, however, say they believe the national economy will be better a year from now, which is the highest level for this question in the past year. This optimism does not spread to improvements in household financial situations as 17% of Americans say they expect their household financial situations to be better a year from now, which is the lowest for this question in the past year.

Is it possible that before his term ends, this “conservative’s” approval rating may sink into the heretofore unthinkable single digits?

There can no longer be any doubt that his final numbers will be MUCH worse than any previous American President, thus suggesting the argument - he is the worst American President in the nation’s history - is valid.

And those “conservatives” who voted for him and his “conservative” agenda, shoulder the credit.

How utterly embarrassing to be a “conservative” these days…

George Orwell died fearing that the human spirit itself would be devoured by totalitarian power cannibalism, by what I call the “human husbandry” of the liberals and progressives. But Central and Eastern Europe proved Orwell wrong. In literary terms, Solzhenitsyn and Havel proved him wrong.

It’s not that the penned animals get to be farmers themselves one day, so that the question is whether they do or do not become as corrupt and despotic as their predecessors. It’s that some day the animals simply leave their pens, recognizing no one in authority to stop them.

LITTLE ROCK — Federal archivists at the Clinton Presidential Library are blocking the release of hundreds of pages of White House papers on pardons that the former president approved, including clemency for fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich. The archivists’ decision, based on guidance provided by Bill Clinton that restricts the disclosure of advice he received from aides, prevents public scrutiny of documents that would shed light on how he decided which pardons to approve from among hundreds of requests.

But then, in their gleeful rush to show how “savvy” al Qaeda is, the pinkos turn right around and contradict all of their goony anti American propaganda:

{{{{In an Internet age, al-Qaida prizes geek jihadis as much as would-be suicide bombers and gunmen. The terror network is recruiting computer-savvy technicians to produce sophisticated Web documentaries and multimedia products aimed at Muslim audiences in the United States, Britain and other Western countries…..

So al Qaeda really is just one organization, gee, I wonder who’s been saying that all along?

So much for that Iraqi “civil war.”

{{{{Use of the Internet enables al-Qaida to reach a broad global audience within the worldwide Muslim community rather than having to rely on Arabic-language satellite stations, whose audiences are limited to the Middle East and who exercise some degree of editorial control.-Urinal}}}}

Well, well, we even have an admission that “news” organizations edit their content.

It really is “honesty day” at the Urinal.

Notice the things that the socialists look back fondly upon:

{{{{OUR OPINION: Losing a dream to outsourcing and empire- Once upon a time, the United States was the world’s most powerful economic engine, a job-producing machine that propelled a broad swath of its citizens into a comfortable middle class.

But now, after “outsourcing,” we have tidy “ernormous” houses and fully loaded Chevy’s with heated leather bucket seats.

{{{{Gross Domestic Product, 2006, ranked by size: All of the Eurowienie countries banded together, 14 trillion. The United States, 13 trillion. #3 Japan, 4 trillion.}}}}

George Will had a very interesting article today. JFK apparently gave Castro a very limited estimate on longevity. JFK himself didn’t understand the absolute power any government, or king, has. That’s how America evolved over the millenia. The founding fathers knew the pitfalls of tyranny or fascism, or any absolute rule. That’s what those amazing, well-written-documents-under-glass in DC are all about, folks.

Bush thinks he got away with bringing back the Monarchy.

True, the Monarchy had it’s time: when huns would suddenly appear under the radar and attack with no mercy. You needed a king and his knights and the total submission of the dirt-poor 99%. Bush is saying that 911 brought us full circle, from the founding father’s vision to another Monarchy. If that very-conservative emotion is true, then the terrorists won.

Bush is the king of surrender monkeys, and we are under defacto Al Queda rule.

It can only get worse, so dont think you can have a couple of beers and Dale JR will hypnotize your servitude away. Nascar is a great big hypnotic engine, like a giant watch on a big chain going back and forth, round and round, you’re getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, you feel nothing, relaxed, now I’m going to count to nine hundred and eleven, and when you awake, you’ll feel raped, and had, and broke.

I have a new theory. I think Bush didn’t realize what Cheney was doing, until it was too late, and Bush didn’t have the balls to stop him, or to double-cross the threat against his family, both barbara and george sr, and laura and the bush twins, by the saudis assassins waiting just under their bedroom windows. Teenage mutant ninja turtles indeed.

The saudis despise us, you know. You realize that, right? The saudis think we’re are the most degenerate bunch of scoundrels that ever lived in the history of unmutated scum.

I guess the conservatives on this blog didn’t know that, otherwise they wouldn’t have been blogging for the MIC, which is actually the SRF, which is short for the Saudi Royal Family. (76 trombones)

See, I thought you conservatives knew that. Well, that explains EVERYTHING!

Fact: We lost our country in a silent coup of lobbied-legerdemain and leveraged corporate no-brainers.

When the Truth is zeitgeisted, Bush and Cheney will not be allowed to live in the contiguous 48.

That’s treason, folks. That’s a hangable offense in a time of war. I demand the resignation of Cheney effective noon tommorrow and I demand a grand jury investigation into his treason.

“The President and his allies in Congress are playing politics with national security, and that’s wrong. Nobody is above the law and telecom companies who engaged in illegal surveillance should be held accountable, not given retroactive immunity. I flatly oppose giving these companies an out for cooperating with Alberto Gonzalez on short-circuiting the FISA courts and the rule of law.”

Exactly.

Fat Hastert lost his seat to a Dem, Bill Foster. An upcoming trend, if you will.

So, if Bush were captured by terrorists and waterboarded, he’d look up between dunkings and say “HAH! You call THAT torture! You WIMPS! Let me loose and I’ll show you what torture is!”.

This guy, Shelby Steele echoes my sentiments exactly…

SS: My problem with Obama is that he’s not a new paradigm; he’s an old paradigm. A new paradigm would be somebody like Harold Ford, former Democratic Congressman from Tennessee, or Michael Steele, former Republican Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, no relation, both of whom present themselves as individuals, and don’t seem to wear a mask.

Harold Ford or Michael Steele. I would prefer either to Barack Obama. Why? you ask. I’ll let Shelby speak for me:

KW: What I’m curious about Obama is, where did he get his black accent, if he wasn’t raised around black people, but by a white mother from Kansas? Does his voice sound authentic or adopted to you? I figured you might have an insight about this since your mother’s white, too.

SS: It sounds a little hollow. Sometimes, he’s Martin Luther King, sometimes, he a black militant from the Sixties, then he’s a Baptist minister. He can be so different. There’s not yet an Obama voice. That troubles me on other levels. It’s hard to know what bag he’s going to come out of when he takes to the podium.

KW: You’re making the point that, given his background, he doesn’t have the flava’, that he’s a bit artificial and struggling to get there.

SS: Yeah, sure, that is part of what I talk about in the first half of the book. I think this need to belong has trailed him all of his life.

I’ve seen Obama do this too often - change the way he speaks to the audience. Bill and Hillary have both done the same thing, and we all know, after South Carolina, how they feel about race.

CHANGE in Obama’s dialect depending on who he’s addressing. That’s what I call “cheap speak.” Talking down to talk himself up. I don’t yike it. I don’t yike it one bit!

Thank you Shelby!

Thank you Wyoming! Barack wins back delegates from March 4th

I also want to thanks to all the Obama supporters who worked hard in Wyoming, as well as those who called or traveled to Wyoming.

Obama won by a landslide 61% to 38%.

Please note that the extra 3 delegates he won compared to the 3 or 4 delegates Hillary will net over Barack from Texas, Ohio, Vermont and RI. Estimates still vary from Texas caucus results, but March 4th results will very likely look like this (delegate counts from MSNBC unless otherwise noted):

Ohio: Obama 66 - Clinton 75 Texas: Obama 129 or 128- Clinton 121 or 122 (based on caucus estimates: Obama campaign estimates Obama won 38 - Hillary 29, other estimates have stated it will be Obama 37 - Hillary 30) Rhode Island: Obama 8 - Clinton 13 Vermont: Obama 9 - Clinton 6

March 4th Totals: Obama 212 - Clinton 215 (net Clinton +3, possibly 4)

Wyoming: Obama 7 - Clinton 4 (net Barack +3):

Bottom line is this: Barack is doing great and Hillary not well enough, even in the states she wins.

Will they really kindle a civil war by denying the nomination to the man who won the most elected delegates? No way. They well understand that to do so would be to throw away the party’s chances of victory and to stigmatize it among African-Americans and young people for the rest of their lives.

The connections to Obama have received more attention, thanks to the local Chicago media rather than their national counterparts. One of Rezko’s associates turns out to be Ali D. Ata, who worked in Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s administration. Ata now faces fraud charges for writing a letter on state letterhead on behalf of Rezko that lied well enough to get millions of dollars in loans. Rezko brought Ata into Obama’s camp as a contributor.

He might convince people he had no knowledge of it. However, as more connections come to the light, the best he can argue is that he is so naive and unschooled that he couldn’t see corruption where it obviously exists. If so, how can he argue that he’s sophisticated enough to run the nation?

Perhaps apackolips has a press release he can cut and paste that explains this all away.

Here’s how the libs support the military and care about candidates that served in it:

George Herbert Walker Bush, WWII Navy TBM Avenger pilot, shot down and rescued. Wackos on the left said he was a pu$$y for bailing out and military service wasn’t important for being president.

William Jefferson Clinton, never served and chased rotten toothed skank tail across the pond at Oxford, which is probably where he learned his bad taste in women. He never served, but serving in the military wasn’t important at the time nor did honor matter.

John McCain, Republican primary 2000: he’s a war hero, whereas W never showed up in Alabama. Suddenly military service was important and honorable.

John “Long Face” Kerry, Democrat presidential candidate in 2004, was a Navy vet who had questionable credentials and came back while John McCain was in the Hanoi Hilton and gave grave testimony against the men who were alongside McCain. Military service was important and honorable.

John McCain, running for the Republican nomination in 2008, somehow launched some missiles on the USS Forrestal - according to the libs of course. The truth says otherwise of course, by why deprive the pantywaste libs of their disgusting lies? Military service is dishonorable.

I believe that the troops are quite ably led, and I suspect that a great majority of them place confidence in their commanders. And even Dusty agrees with me, so I must be right.

American troops were ably led while Wilson dithered, and that they were ably led even while FDR was dying. U.S. troops were rather poorly led for the first two and one-half years of the Civil War (while the Navy was in good hands), but needless to say President Lincoln hired and fired until he found able commanders willing to command.

This behavior is not unusual for Obama if you examine the record. To wit:

1. His very first race for state senate, he used the time honored Machine tactic of challenging the nominating petitions of every other candidate, getting all 4 of them removed from the ballot.

2. He cultivated a relationship with the ancient President of the Illinois State Senate Emil Jones who told a colleague in 2002 after the Democrats swept into office “I’m gonna make me a senator.” Jones then proceeded to give Obama credit on the passage of 26 key legislative measures - almost all of which had been pushed by other state senators for years - thus giving Obama a record of sorts to go with all that charisma. Obama calls Jones his “political godfather.”

3. While in the Senate, Obama has had numerous opportunities to live up to his promised “post partisan” reforms and has never - repeat never - participated in any bi-partisan agreement reached by Democrats and Republicans on any issue. He has gone so far as to reject the outcomes of those compromises on immigration reform and an agreement on confirming federal judges.

4. When faced with a choice between supporting a mayoral candidate who stood for clean government and the corruption of the Chicago Machine, Obama chose old fashioned power politics.

Obama’s political career is replete with examples of opportunism, cynical deal making, hack politics, and business as usual relationships with crooks and scam artists like Tony Rezko. His entire presidential campaign is built on a lie; that he is a different kind of politician and will be able to change the way business is done in Washington.

Uh huh. This same woman whined about the Electoral College in 2000 yet apparently suddenly finds it may play to her advantage over the pure democracy fascism of mob rule and the popular vote. From Meet The Depressed and Gov. Rendell, a Shrillster:

MR. RUSSERT: Governor Rendell, if, in fact, Barack Obama goes to the convention in Colorado in August with the most elected delegates, having won more contests and a higher popular vote, the cumulative vote, could he be denied the nomination?

GOV. RENDELL: Well, sure, Tim, because, number one, Hillary Clinton has won states with about 260 electoral votes. Barack Obama has won states with about 190. And we decide the presidency not by a popular vote, we decide it by the electoral vote. And the traditional role of the superdelegates is to determine who’s going to be our strongest candidate.

(I, like those I know, make a conscious effort to disassociate myself with the disease of liberalism - and make no mistake about it - it is a disease in this nation).

“So, the monster who killed the Auburn girl - the grad from Walton - was an Iraq war veteran - “changed as a man since his service in Iraq.” Many thanks for the republican style support of our troops”

What’s that got to do with anything TW, you pathetic worthless POS gutter debris liberal? JFK was assassinated by an ex-Marine - unless you are one of those kook flat earthers and believe otherwise.

Well, it looks like what comes around really does go around. Just keep an eye out for all those startling revelations from the EPA, EPD, etc. What’s that old saying about Mexico and not drinking the water. Well, they don’t have anything on the USofA. The water contamination is just the tip of the iceberg. Heck, we won’t even be thinking about global warming/cooling any more, or terrorists, or taxes, or………

Sounds like screen-is envy by an OCD-diagnosed writer.

It’s not about the grammar, stupid.

I think people are up to date on President Bush and his service as an F-102 National Guard pilot.

You mean his lack of service? There is no freaking way he could have served and left no trace. There was a $5000 reward offered to anyone who could verify that Bush served in Alabama and there were no takers. The onus is on to PROVE he served, not to disprove it, given the lack of documentation.

silly lib Don- everyone knows bush was on a secret mission during vietnam and that is why there is no info. it’s called ‘classified’. what we do know is that in the early sixties the cia did a sweep of this nation’s best and brightest to use for double secret covert duty. george w bush was part of this elite grab.

gooooooood morning/ why didn’t you mention that ronnie r., the working man’s friend who got elected on a promise to stop busing, signed the bill in 1986 doing away with the deduction of interest on comsumer loans which included credit cards, car loans, bank loans and etc. and gave us the equity loan that has bankrupt america. he was a lousy actor and a worse president.while the white folk were worrying about blacks and mexicans, the indians and pakastanies bought all the corners and took control of the hospitals. i suggest a nose extension for you ronnie r’s.
