Quoted from Tommy


Who told you that, Fox?
People are beginning to catch on, that telling the same lie, over and over again, doesn't necessarily make it true.

Remember "climate gate"?
It too, was debunked on a massive level, but seemingly, that doesn't prevent a bunch of imbeciles who's only source of information is a "news corporation", who's foreign owners cater only to the corporations that are hell bent on screwing you, while you say "thank you patriot, may I have another?"


NOPE.....I heard it on CNN too!!! They must all be looking for higher ratings, huh?

When the Democrats who are in tight races this year are told not to mention Health-Care, Stimulus, payouts to the teachers unions, jobs or the economy there is a problem with this administration and it's leader. The Dems are running for there political lives away from the Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.

Usually in off-year elections the party holding the presidency loses seats in Congress.
This is mainly because in the midterm elections the weak candidates who rode in to victory on the coattails of their party's presidential candidate two years earlier find it difficult to win when running for election on their own.

There are exceptions of course, but any political historian would expect a loss for the Democrats in 2010.
I assume this election would be no different.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Historically this is true, but what is not as common is a loss of control of a house for the Majority party.
It happened in 1994 and again in 2006..If the pundits are right, the house will fall, or at the very least become dysfunctional with the blue dog dems that are left.... that is news, whether you want to minimize it or not

It's a possibility and a probability if you consider the shape of the economy, which is usually a deciding factor.

People vote their wallets, always have, always will.
Social issues such as Abortion are always trumpeted by the media, but never seem to be the decider.

numbers are hard and can be manipulated by stats....but what a person has in her/his wallet is something the government cant fake....as for
abortion or crap like that:
1.stop running to the government to fix it
2.they really dont care
3.it's no ones business
4.nobody really cares
5.it's that personal
6.it's a podium puck to throw us off course when the system is F'D up


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
