Political Punch

RL in Illinois:
I get the same e-mails. I made an earlier contribution and do not feel compelled to make another. The e-mails give out information that is good to know. They don't just solicit contributions---I appreciate the information.

The job of Speaker of the House is to pass legislation. When she can not convince 13 of her states delegation to vote for a bill and at the same time 5 committee chairmen voted against the bill. Her picks.

Very bluntly, she did not want the bill to pass. She wanted to keep that 700 billion monkey on McCains back.

Party first, country last.

Forgot to mention that EVERY day I get an email from Obama's campaign soliciting donations. Tuesday it was hurry, the deadline's approaching. The email wanted $5.00. Monday it was from Jon Carson. Today it was from the "P" guy-I want to say Poof but only cause I wish he'd disappear. You cannot get off the freaking mailing list-I've tried. If all the people need his help, why is he asking them for money-I mean every day!!! Then at the beginning of the month you read about the record broken for raising money. Since the Wall Street event last week I can think of at least 5 new commercials playing on the St. Louis television stations. He has 3 new radio ads that I've heard. He even had his face ad on Ebay. He's asking for money when people are losing their homes?

Stand up Chuck! Oh, sorry Chuck is an invalid. Great going Biden. Drop out of the race - we want Hillary!

lately

You cant ask me that...

Your sexist!

Thus Spake James - "When you are stupid every question is a gotcha question!"

What made you think of that James?

Today

OBAMA: Oh, absolutely not. Uh, because if you think about it, there was a deal struck between, uhh, Nancy Pelosi and, uh, the Republican leader, Bohner. Uh, the... Uh, the Democrats were supposed to get 120 votes. They got 140. So there was no sense on the Democratic side that we weren't following through on our commitments. Uh, and apparently there were some problems on that side. I don't think me calling House Republican members would have been that helpful. I tend not to be that persuasive -- heh -- on that side of the aisle.

Well so much for the great unifier.

Hmmmm, I can see the title of Obama's memoirs now

THE DEVIL WORE TEFLON

I like it.

Ryan C. "but hey these things are viewed thru a partisan lense."

1. lens my friend not lense

2. Get Obama some bifocals since he will have to be bipartisan to deal with the mess he will inherit should he win. Hobson's Choice indeed. If one had one's druthers I would have took a second look.

Obama talks about bringing fairness to our tax structure. Is America ready for the liberation theology politics that Obama will bring us?

Even democrats are seeing that the media has done more than cross the line. The media is over there in Russia.

Now the polls (poles) are showing that this one side bashing of Palin is hurting Obama.

We see a little pile on on Biden, but Obama continues to be teflon coated. Obama has no foreign policiy experience and no one mentions that.

Prediction from Kool Aid Mountain: RL will be accused of not being from Illinois.

Dateline Thurs nite 5 min into the VP debate

Gwen Ifill: What color is the dress you have on Gov Palin?

Gov Palin: {looks down} Red!

McCain campaign immediately issues a press release accusing Gwen Ifill of gotcha journalism and bias.

FDR was also the 1st President to speak on TV in '38 or '39.

Did Wikipedia or wherever happen to mention how many people outside the corporate/government elite were able to VIEW him on teevee? :^)

It IS the same signal, but receivers weren't available to the working classes until the 50's (just in time for the Army/McCarthy hearings).

Given Biden's long and "articulate" career, Governor Palin has a very target rich enviroment in which to work.

The debate should be very entertaining.

at a town hall meeting in New Mexico, McCain said:

"And I regret some of the recent behavior Russia that has exhibited, and I'll be glad to talk about that later on including reduction in oil supplies to Czechoslovakia after they agreed with us on a missile defense system, et cetera."

Czechslovakia ceased to exist in 1993.

"Hahaha. No, that was Biden -- the guy who thinks FDR was president in the crash of '29, and that his fireside chats were on teevee -- which hadn't been developed as a mass-communications medium when FDR was in office."

FDR began his fireside chats when he was Gov of NY.

FDR was also the 1st President to speak on TV in '38 or '39.

"C'mon, it's not like she told a man in a wheelchair to walk or sumpin'!"

And they say Palin's no match for Uncle Joe? Hahaha: what SHE doesn't know, she can learn -- whereas Obama/Biden are such know-it-alls they haven't learned anything since their long-ago college days, when they learned where to go to get lifetime health care and corporate protection, and to avoid heavy lifting.
