Political Punch

So anyway I was discussing the benefits of a diet with olive oil included. I found that if you add it to the clear Italian salad dressing, it goes on almost anything.

On another topic, if you would like to practice cooking with a variety of spices and flavors, consider the simple hot dog. Now most hotdogs are made uniformly and will taste the same each time. And if you experiment a lot, you will make mistakes. But if the combination of cinnamon oil and pickle juice is a disaster, all you are out is the price of inexpensive hotdogs.

Also, I have heard of the race in Omaha. It isn't as simple as all that. Jim Esch almost won last time and had almost no budget, against Terry with a HUGE budget. This time Esch also has a HUGE budget. He is also a former Marine who went to Iraq. But the compromise Terry voted on that reduced the requested spending on injured veterans on a war he voted for, is an interesting conversation.

But who can forget about windows vista. Microsoft doesn't mention the word Vista the way that Republicans don't mention Bush. Ironically, Microsoft gave quite a bit to the Republicans to prevent Democrats from including privacy protection in the system.

How stupid can you be to vote for Obama if Biden is guaranteeing that Obama's weakness and inexperience will draw us into a crisis with our enemies the first 6 month in office.
Do you have a death wish or something?

Letter to Lee Terry:

Thank you for you endorsement of Senator Obama for President. I was surprise when I saw your ad in The Reader (Oct.16-22, 2008 Vol.15 page 36). You give good reasons for your endorsement; hard work, honesty, accessibility and straight answers. I'll still be voting for Jim Esch for Congress but it's good to know you, Jim, and I will be voting for Obama for President.

Like Obama4President said, McCain would seriously loose a debate on guilt by association. The only thing keeping this from the public is Obama's campaign is too smart to take the hit that comes with diverting from the primary message. BUT--if McCain has the audacity to stand face to face with Obama tomorrow night and mention any such association, the American people watching will want Obama to respond.

And respond he will.

McCain's no dummy. He knows he can't win a guilt-by-association fight unless he can somehow make Obama into a Muslim extremist. But he can't say that, he can't even infer it, or that's racist (and it's obviously racist--Obama is no more a terrorist for associating with respected unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers than McCain for associating with unrepentant terrorist G. Gordon Liddy).

All he can say is, "Who is Barack Obama?" and rely on the laziness of the low-information voters to make paranoid conclusions. He can't offer an answer, because when he does ("He a decent family man, a citizen") it totally defuses his argument.

Speaking as the ONLY Omahan on this blog I can tell you OBAMA will pull that democrat into the house. It's a fact. Lee Terry has taken his position for granted. He has never spent time in the inner city and always sent mailings to the uppermiddle class and the subburbs.

Voter turn out in the inner city has not been that great- no one engaged. When Omaha has it's first ever Caucus, the inner city turned out in numbers that shut down the roads. Keep in mind this was during one of the coldest days in Omaha.

Lee has a lot to worry about given the largest population is the inner city and they don't even know who he is!!!

This race will be close and Terry knows the people turning out the vote is the inner city and they all 90% Obama supporters

I don't understand why Republicans will not take great pride in their two-term president and 13-term congress.

It's obvious that Bush is responsible for creating:
- more jobs
- higher wages
- broad-based healthcare
- elimination of abortion
- smaller government
- deregulated fundamental sound economy
- global respect
- budget surplus
- education reform
- more guns on the streets

Actually, that last one we can blame on the liberal media ...

Re: "Quit tying McCain to Bush if you don't want us to tie Obama's associations of Wright, Ayers, Rezko to Obama."

These McCain connections are actually documented and MUCH more direct:
Jim Hensley, Convicted Felon;
G. Gordon Liddy, Convicted Felon;
Charles Keating, Convicted Felon;
Raffaello Follieri, Convicted Felon;
Rick Renzi, Under Indictment;
Rick Davis, Freddie Mac Lobbyist who was still on the payroll until a few weeks ago;
Charles Black, Lobbyist for Dictators;
Richard Quinn, White Supremist;
Pastor John Hagee, Bigot;
Pastor Rod Parsley, Bigot;
Todd Palin, Member of Secessionist Group;
Andrew McCain, Resigned Manager Failed Savings and Loan

There's even more than this... McCain seriously loses the guilt by association battle.

Some Republicans are embarassed to be seen campaigning for Bush-McCain_Palin trio of sorts.

But Republicans are Americans, they can vote whichever way they want to, including for the decent Democrat nominee, just like rabid and nonsensical Hillary voters will vote for Mr. McCain out of spite.

Apparently and fortunately, these are the minority. Look at the polls. It is our right to make things right in America, to protect ourselves by voting wisely. Spite, malice, racial overtones, anger and mob mentality will not get us the solutions we need.

Don't forget at the ballot box or the mail ins, those who lied have been exposed in the campaign.

You are an American--and you can rise above the fray of McCain-Palin lie it all tandem.

Time for Republicans to hate the Nobel Committee yet again: they just awarded the Economics prize to the person who has criticized Bush-Cheney-McCain economic policies the past 8 years. None other than my favorite, Paul Krugman from Princeton University and New York Times. wah wah wah more spin to come from GOP

Nobody is really going to vote for Obama. This is a big trumped up joke.

===========================

I will equate that to be the same as, John McCain really knows how to turn this economy around...

BOTH ARE ILLUSIONS !

This is for Jack 51:

Sir, I am a democrat but my entire family to include my husband, three daughters and numerous relatives are republicans. The bad news for you? They are voting DEMOCRAT! One punch for your assertion: My youngest daughter is a 27-year old female US Army CPT, Company Commander IS VOTING Senator Obama.
Sir, maybe you should read more newspapers and watch credible political shows.

gregh: You missed the point. Obama is campaigning hard in Omaha as there is a chance he can take an electoral vote out of Nebraska because of the way they allocate their electoral votes.

Agreed this ad is a joke, Obama is not even going to come close in Nebraska, he is just shamelessly chasing Republican coat-tails

S Adams,

Prices are coming down because people are cutting down on their consumption, thereby lessening demand.

That is what Obama has been talking about only to be ridiculed by Drill baby Drill Republicans.

Conservation is something we can all do to immediately impact oil prices.

Drilling may produce oil in a few years with the primary beneficiaries beiung oil companies since we do not ban oil exports or have a national oil company like other countries.

West Coast Mess:

Glad to see you're still detached from reality!!! Another Republican plant!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Nobody is really going to vote for Obama. This is a big trumped up joke.

"Quit tying McCain to Bush if you don't want us to tie Obama's associations of Wright, Ayers, Rezko to Obama."

Who's us? Fellow right wingers posing as Hillary supporters?

Again, my post taken down for the second time in response to a blogger below. Quit tying McCain to Bush if you don't want us to tie Obama's associations of Wright, Ayers, Rezko to Obama. Can't play double standard here, bots. McCain is CLEARLY not Bush. They have notorious disagreements thoughout the years...Obama doesn't even have a record to stand on.

"The DNA of the bears is always MORE important"

Hmmm a reference to McCain's fav stump line regarding earmarks.

One problem with that.

MCCAIN VOTED FOR IT!

Hypocrisy thy name is Republican.

Ryan C...the Dems don't want drilling and are not active in alternative energy because they put global warming and the decline of the polar bear before any energy exploration. The DNA of the bears is always MORE important than looking to find alternative energy or drill here and now.
PELOSI, REID AND OBAMA WILL BE THE DOWN FALL OF THIS COUNTRY.
