Presidential Election

[Road Guy]

boy they are still ragging on Sarah Palin, I cant figure out if its the democrats or republicans who are generating all this, I dont recall Edwards and Lieberman gettign ragged on after they lost, I cant figure out where its all coming from? Hidden Agenda from Republicans who dont ever want to see her nationally again or just typical media bias of women

Fixed it for you. I think it's a little of both.

I saw it all over CNN and MSNBC last night. It was on Andersen Cooper 360 and some show with John King (CNN). McCain aides spilling the beans on Palin, happily covered by a hungry media. About the only thing that got covered more was Bush's dog biting a reporter. Apparently Cheney coached him to do it.

But I'm sure it's warranted. After all, Palin's pumps probably had a lot more to do with the economic collapse than Freddie Mac

Just for the record, Emmanuel was hired to run the day to day and mainly the politics at the White House, not to be an economic advisor. I really hope the media doesn't feel that they now have to jump all over evderything they find out about Obama. THe country needs the admiistration to concentrate on not screwing things up. But IMO the media was pretty shameful in the campaign.

^^ I'm interested to see how Chicago Machine politics plays on the national stage.

Ah, I wasn't watching either of those last night. I was watching the matchup of a pair mighty ACC opponents battling it out on the gridiron for conference supremacy. Sadly, the team I'd like to see win did not. So at half time I switched it off and watched dirty jobs. Far more interesting then seeing video of a dog biting a reporter (which I did see, but online). Next time maybe the dog will go for the jugular. I did enjoy the reporter summarizing his injury. Good God, grow a pair. You were bitten by a dog on the finger, not mauled by a bear. We don't want to hear about how you had to be bandaged up by a doctor and will have to be on a strict regiment of antibiotics for weeks.

What I'm really interested to see is a confirmation hearing if they pick Larry Summers for TReasury Sec. I am really interested to see what my glorious Senator (Barbara Boxer) has to say about when he was at Harvard and basically told the ladies not to worry their pretty little heads about numbers and such.

I suspect they won't pick him for this reason, but it will interesting if they do.

^^ I think "don't worry their pretty little heads about numbers and such" is, at best, a misrepresentation of what he actually said.

However, a sentence or two taken out of context will likely keep him out of the job.

Actually I was just joking. I'm suprised this author used the same words as me!

What I really meant was I wonder if Boxer and the other Democrats will be as ferocious against Summers as they would be against a Republican appointee who said the same thing.

 

[Flyer_PE]

^^ I'm actually curious to see what happens on that one for the same reasons. The media coverage will be interesting to watch also.

I don't know, not if this is what is being told to B.O. supporters:

Wow - she was right. No more worrying about putting gas in her car or paying her mortgage. BO has taken care of that.

 

[DVINNY]

^^ That's because her car and house have been REPO'd in the last 3.5 years.

It's kinda funny to read this old thread. It's like reading the Wall St journal after the fact. Like a crystal ball into the future / past.

Didn't Reagan oversee the largest growth in National debt ever? Kinda makes all that ^^^ ring a little hollow.

Not anymore.

Reagan 1.8 Trillion in 8 years.

Obama 4.3 Trillion in 3.5 years.

Agree. Some of the old posts are now quite funny, seeing as how things have turned out

The DV/Buff Christianity debate got a little heated...

 

[cdcengineer]

Wonder if anyone wants to change their opinion, or better yet, their vote now knowing how things have turned out.

Oh nonsense, that's just inflation...

Ugh...

Can we get that DLeg for President movement going again?

A liberal says "My glass is half full."

A conservative says, "Who drank half my water?"

What's the difference between liberals and conservatives?

A liberal wins the lottery and throws a party.

A conservative wins the lottery and complains that he has to pay taxes on it.

------------------

How many conservatives does it take to change a lightbulb?

None. They'll pass a law forcing school children to pray to God to take the dark away.

Almost 4 years later, and those are all still great.... especially #2
