Spend more to stop spending, I'll never understand why this government can't get a real business mind in government.” 11:19:41 AM 2/24/08 “Agreed Sale, but it all comes back to too many people not wanting the responisbility to fix stuff or plan on their own. I cannot tell you the number of "apartments" I have been to that have burned and the first thing the "occupants" say is,"Who's gonna replace my stuff?" We had a group of five (I am guessing here) white trash meth heads who had a house their father let them stay in. They smoked inside (despite what daddy told them)and there were some other wierd things going on. So they have a fire, cig in the bed or in some clothes to be more accurate. Red Cross comes out....The Red Cross puts them up for 3 days, gives them probably more money than they had cumulativly earned (legally) in 10 years...and one of em calls me to #&%!$ the Red Cross didn't do enough for us. They wanted to know who was going to get them a house and replace their stuff. JEEZE....They thought the Government should bail them out.” 11:41:30 AM 2/24/08 “They would fit in well in New Orleans.” 6:06:54 PM 2/24/08 “Sadly the "victim" mentality is all to rampant through race color creed, and economics. We had a guy who had dumped a bunch of money into rather volitile stocks come #&%!$ing when they fell. He felt like someone should pay for his loss...guess what..someone did...HIM!” 7:03:56 AM 2/25/08 “Remember, the powers that run this country are on the watch for attractive idiots like Obama, Clinton and McCain that have dreams of being president and will, at the expense of the american public , put them in that position as a tool to fullfill their own dreams. The buck stops way beyond the visible.” 7:46:11 AM 2/25/08 “Understood and Agreed...so how do we change it?” 7:48:06 AM 2/25/08 “Certainly the republicans footing the bill for Nader to run as a MyCane guarantee won't help any. Draft Mike Bloomberg, I looked into his eyes and couldn'y see Putin or Bush.hehe last edited: 2/25/08 8:03:35 AM” 7:55:37 AM 2/25/08 “Like I say, since last October I have not been excited about anyone running....” 7:59:15 AM 2/25/08 “Basically, the think McCain will lose over this issue: the war. Even he thinks so. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080225/ap_on_el_pr/mccain;_ylt=AtSkoy7kiVMDGN0TOq8BZXWs0NUE Bottom line: the vote will come down staying in the Middle East as part of of the imperialistic philosophy of the right, or not. My money is on not.” 11:30:39 AM 2/25/08 “WOW..the old Imperialist RUnning Dogs of the West line...Rosey get an update....(LOL)” 11:35:15 AM 2/25/08 “ "Let me not put it that stark," sez JM. 'Twould appear that continued exposure to GWB sentence 'structure' causes brain-rot. ” 11:39:06 AM 2/25/08 “John, stark should be an adverb. This is a word that is used to describe a verb...” 11:41:40 AM 2/25/08 “Rocky River - that's right next door to me. Hey, look for me tomorrow at the debate, I'm going to try to submit a question on the environment.” 12:06:29 PM 2/25/08 “Another Hillary! boy debate plant. Good grief.” 12:10:37 PM 2/25/08 12:31:18 PM 2/25/08 “No No..Buddha everyone is doing that here are some suggestions 1. Senator, given the evidence all around us of Alien Invasion from Outer Space. What actions would you take to protect the Trailer Parks of the Country? 2. Senator I would like to ask a two part question, then my alter ego would like to follow that up with a short song and dance..... 3. Senator, if you were to consider aligning yourself with the Bilderbergers or the Secret Society of Masonic Guildmasters. Which do you think would better protect us from the Giant Flying Spaghetti monster?” 12:34:43 PM 2/25/08 “tiltypoo approves of debate "plants". Figures. Demorats have no ethics.” 12:35:27 PM 2/25/08 “Of course, Republican candidates screwing lobbyists and pushing their agendas in Congress is the ethical pathway of righteousness, right Stove?” 12:40:13 PM 2/25/08 “I'm just disappointed that McCain would indulge in such pettiness. I thought he was above that sort of thing ----- but I guess not. I never make that mistake with you two.” 12:45:27 PM 2/25/08 “Viva Viagra!!!!!” 12:47:04 PM 2/25/08 “WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After casting himself as a "Maverick" in 2000, the new John McCain is walking in lockstep with President Bush, pandering to the right wing of the Republican Party, and embracing the ideology he once denounced. On the campaign trail McCain has callously abandoned many of his previously held positions, even contradicted himself, in a blatant attempt to remake himself into a candidate Republicans can accept in 2008. So just who is the real John McCain? The Democratic National Committee will present a daily fact aimed at exposing the man behind the myth. Today's McCain Myth: John McCain can be trusted to adhere to his own reform agenda. After the Keating Five scandal, John McCain rebuilt his political career and image as a "maverick" by championing campaign finance and lobbying reforms. But, now that the law stands in the way of his political ambitions, John McCain seems to think it doesn't apply to him. John McCain may already be violating campaign finance laws by trying to unilaterally withdraw from the public financing system, even though he has already violated a key condition for being let out of the program -- pledging public matching funds as collateral for a private loan. McCain obtained a $4 million line of credit -- drew $2,971,697 from it -- and documents make clear that the promise of public financing was used to secure his loan. McCain has also or is close to violating the spending limits associated with the public financing system and used his qualification for matching funds to qualify for the ballot in some states. Now, McCain is trying to skirt the law by withdrawing from the system without FEC approval, which the law specifically requires. At the same time, new reports this weekend shed more light on McCain's pattern of doing favors for lobbyists and campaign contributors despite his alleged support of lobbying reform. Despite his campaign's blanket denials, the New York Times reported this weekend that McCain sent an "unusually blunt letter to the head of the Federal Communications Commission, warning that he would try to overhaul the agency if it closed a broadcast ownership loophole" that was "vitally important" to one of his lobbyists friends' clients. [New York Times, 2/23/08] Meanwhile, Newsweek reported that McCain took $20,000 from another company with business before his Commerce Committee and flew to campaign events on the company's corporate jet at the same time he was sending "highly unusual" letters on the company's behalf to the FCC. [Newsweek, 2/22/08] Apparently John McCain thinks the reforms he built his political career around apply to everyone but himself.” 2:26:05 PM 2/25/08 “ ”2:27:15 PM 2/25/08 “Pull my finger! ”2:31:10 PM 2/25/08 “After casting himself as a "Maverick" in 2000, the new John McCain is walking in lockstep with President Bush, pandering to the right wing of the Republican Party, and embracing the ideology he once denounced.

So just who is the real John McCain? The Democratic National Committee will present a daily fact aimed at exposing the man behind the myth. After reading the spin and commentary injected into this, it's no wonder Newsweek is considered a joke by most people. It's The People magazine with a tie.” 2:32:28 PM 2/25/08 “What, the great white hope of the Rebubs is going down faster than a lobbyist on McCain? Say it ain't SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 2:34:14 PM 2/25/08 “A sworn deposition that Sen. John McCain gave in a lawsuit more than five years ago appears to contradict one part of a sweeping denial that his campaign issued this week to rebut a New York Times story about his ties to a Washington lobbyist. [...] Just hours after the Times's story was posted, the McCain campaign issued a point-by-point response that depicted the letters as routine correspondence handled by his staff—and insisted that McCain had never even spoken with anybody from Paxson or Alcalde & Fay about the matter. "No representative of Paxson or Alcalde & Fay personally asked Senator McCain to send a letter to the FCC," the campaign said in a statement e-mailed to reporters. But that flat claim seems to be contradicted by an impeccable source: McCain himself. "I was contacted by Mr. [Lowell] Paxson on this issue," McCain said in the Sept. 25, 2002, deposition obtained by NEWSWEEK. "He wanted their approval very bad for purposes of his business. I believe that Mr. Paxson had a legitimate complaint." http://www.newsweek.com/id/114505 ![]() ”6:14:38 PM 2/25/08 “The left still doesn't have a reason to vote FOR somebody. LOL. It's all about hating "the other guy" to them. Come on Violin. Vote for a candidate you can be proud of. Vote for Ron Paul.” 6:26:02 PM 2/25/08 “Of course, Republican candidates screwing lobbyists and pushing their agendas in Congress is the ethical pathway of righteousness, right Stove?” roseymonster 12:40:13 PM 2/25/08 You have any proof of that or do you just rely on the lies of that bastion of yellow journalism, the New York Times? Learn to think for yourself instead of listening to the siren song so attractive to the feeble-minded.” 6:39:36 PM 2/25/08 “I'm gona vote for more spending and lower taxes, but can't find a candidate that can spell all of that and name his party the Endless Debt Party” 7:02:07 AM 2/26/08 “That sounds like a fair description of how the Times helped George start his war.” 7:25:11 AM 2/26/08 “ ”10:17:13 AM 2/26/08 “Vile in the photo the bus has silver sides around the tires...note the flat tire is on a white bus....come on be more accurate in your stupidity.” 11:20:23 AM 2/26/08 “John McClane is a hero! He’s saved America over and over. *In 1988, John McClane defused the hostage crisis at Los Angeles’ Nakatomi Tower. *In 1990, John McClane foiled a terrorist plot to seize control of Dulles Airport in Washington, DC. *In 1995, John McClane foiled the New York Federal Reserve Heist. *In 2007, John McClane stopped the greatest cyberterrorism conspiracy in history. *John McClane has defeated terrorists in elevator shafts on numerous occasions. John McClane will keep us safe from terrorists, like he always has. A tough man for tough times. Yippie-Ky-Yay, America! ”10:20:40 AM 2/27/08 “Dulles Airport is in Chantilly, Virginia.................silly kleety.” 10:26:27 AM 2/27/08 “Yo panties are chantilly lace, ain't they?

It's OK to disagree philosophically with him, but do so with facts,that way you're position will have some credibility :)” 9:39:02 AM 2/28/08 “Right. You call it clarifying. I call is backpedaling. It's all semantics, Wanderer and we can have a pissing match about it all day. I've got pissing to do elsewhere.” 9:49:06 AM 2/28/08 “Bloomberg2012!! whoever wins this time will open things up for a third in four.” 10:02:57 AM 2/28/08 He Is A Prickly Old Bastard “ ”10:07:56 AM 2/28/08 ““Right.

Either that, or you're embarrased to admit that you make assumptons / acusations without having the facts to back up your position!

Forget the faxpaux about "liberal"; did you catch the very ending? Where he said if you see an attack ad be sure to look for the disclaimer that it's a 527 and how they should be outlawed? McCain's the one who invented the 527s! They are his fault! It was bad enough what McCain/Finegold did to free speech to begin with but now he thinks 527s should be outlawed? This is the kind of shyt that makes me unable to vote for McCain. Well, that the fact he looks like a ventriloquist's dummy in that suit....” 5:38:23 AM 3/01/08 Jump to Page << prev
