Most Americans may be marvelling at the momentous election of their first black president, but the country's fashionistas have something equally as important on their minds: Michelle Obama's strange choice of outfit on election night. (NT)

• LOL Not that you asked, but I didn't like her dress. Apparently she added a sweater over it that was not as the designer originally designed it and she also lengthened it and raised the neckline, from what I remember. I can see why she wanted the red and black to coordinate with the family, but I just don't think it turned out exactly as the designer had planned for it to look. So...I agree with the fashionistas that it was a strange choice. Our attention should have been on the outcome of the election, I know, I know. :) (NT) -- Susan, 14:19:38 11/10/08 Mon

      • Are you aware of the power Dick Cheney has? He totally changed the VP position. I do not want someone who has even less experience than Dan Quayle in that job.

            • Sorry, LB for the confusion. It said earlier in this posting that she was a soccer mom. I'm the same age as Palin and I was just trying to point out that she's a hockey mom. It's different. Hockey is expensive and you have to go into those cold ice rinks to practice early and late. They interviewed a local hockey mom for our paper and she was talking about how she drives 200 miles every single day to take her 3 kids to hockey practice and games. And empties/fills up her gas tank every single day. They are also "known" to be tougher than soccer moms. We're more the mini-van type with cute clothes to drop off and pick up in case other moms are there. That's all I meant. (NT) -- Susan, 21:16:18 09/14/08 Sun
              • Yes, there are moms who have made huge sacrifices for their kids.>>> -- LB, 23:16:25 09/14/08 Sun
                • I don't necessarily want someone like me either. (Besides I want to know how she really handles the job of mom along with being a politician.) I think there are several things that she believes in, that I don't agree with. And the whole thing about how she can see Russia from Alaska, as they are neighbors. Just on the surface, not even deeply analyzing the situation, I have a hard time imagining how she is being the best mom possible to her kids while governing and/or being a vp. But that's just my view of things and everyone will have different reasons to vote for their candidate. (NT) -- Susan, 11:00:11 09/16/08 Tue
                  • Sorry, got distracted. So...based on what is known as being a hockey mom around here, how could she possibly be a true hockey mom and be a politician, now that they have hockey moms for Palin sweat shirts and all. (NT) -- Susan, 11:08:12 09/16/08 Tue

    • Excuse me? I SAW the video on two of the cable news networks, CNN and MSNBC and also on ABC news. Video of her in a helicopter shooting at a wolf running below. Of course I believe it. I believe my own eyes. I'm not an idiot. I can tell if a picture is photo shopped. And the woman is well known as a hunter. Do not impugn my ability to tell what is what. I know full well when someone is trying to sway my thinking by telling a lie. (NT) -- cyndi, 15:32:18 09/12/08 Fri
    • What on earth are you talking about, Raymond? She is on record with her views such as her beliefs that the war in Iraq is a holy war, that she does not believe in evolution, that she wants creationism taught in the schools, that she is opposed to any form of sex ed except abstinence taught in the schools, etc. This has come out of her own mouth and is there for anyone to see and hear. She is proud of her prowess as a hunter and has used high powered weapons to kill game. Again, there are pictures, films and her own words to prove it. What more do you need?

• I looked at that page and could not find the information you referenced in your post. Apparently, you keep finding some reason to knock Obama. If you don't like him, don't vote for him. It's a free country. However, just as many Catholics were proud to support JFK, many blacks are thrilled to finally be able to vote for an African American for President and some will cross party lines to do so. I find that totally understandable and the realization of Dr. King's dream. (NT) -- LB, 23:37:21 09/04/08 Thu

    • No group of people, religious or race based group, is in lockstep with one another. Not all Catholics voted for Kennedy, not all Jews like Lieberman, and not all African Americans are onboard with Barack Obama. I won't vote for McCain for many reasons and his having a female running mate didn't make me want to change my mind at any moment. It's dangerous to generalize about a group. I do agree that you seem very anti-Obama Raymond which is absolutely your right. I will vote for him, however. (NT) -- cyndi, 12:16:40 09/05/08 Fri
      • I was 87 years old yesterday, and I have always voted democratic except one time , for Dwight David Eisenhower. I will vote Democratic , for Obame, this time., mostly because he is black .If he were White I would not vote for him with his lack of experance I was very disapointed that he picked a long time democrat for hie runing mate, as to say he needed an experinced person to help him. -- Raymond, 14:51:06 09/05/08 Fri

          • I think that it is just as wrong to vote for a person because he is black as it is to vote against him because he is black. His color, religion, and ethicity should not matter. As for Gov. Palin, I do not understand how a Hillary supporter could possibly admire her. She is opposed to everything Hillarry stands for. They are 180 degrees apart. You are entitled to vote anyway you wish but your reasoning baffles me. (NT) -- LB, 17:24:45 09/05/08 Fri

I also think she more or less got a free pass when she stole drugs from the charity she was working for. Someone like me would have done time. My husband can't make a call for me if I get in trouble.

• What a load of crap from McConnell! I'm so tired of hearing the domestic production myth. (NT) -- cyndi, 09:30:34 06/12/08 Thu

• When a Democrat talks about taxing the very rich, I always find it ironic because so many of Hollywoods rich and famous support Democrats, and they're some of the richest people in the country (NT) -- janet, 19:42:10 06/09/08 Mon
  • I don't know about that. I believe that he has said that he wants to go back to the Clinton formula for tax rates. Bush rolled those back, giving tax breaks to the wealthy and did nothing for the middle class. The best source of info on the Obama plan is at www.obama.com Otherwise, you will get alot of false info that the Repubs have cleverly disguised as facts. (NT) -- LB, 00:22:08 06/10/08 Tue
    • Here it is, the truth not the scare propaganda you may have heard>> -- LB, 00:30:59 06/10/08 Tue
      • Fixing the tax code is a good start. Present laws are to complicated -this sounds good if he can sale it to Congress.-- (NT) -- Raymond, 10:58:28 06/10/08 Tue
        • That's why we need to elect a Dem. Congress with strong majority powers - not the weak majority they have now that can't override vetoes. (NT) -- LB, 12:11:47 06/10/08 Tue
      • It all makes perfect sense to me. I would love to see Congress start doing things that actually help the people they work for. (NT) -- cyndi, 09:27:16 06/12/08 Thu

• I would liked to have him run in 08. He didn't want to run aginst Hillary, About Mark Warner---HERE (NT) -- Raymond, 13:10:22 06/08/08 Sun
• Yes, he is a rising star. So is Chris Van Hollen of MD. (NT) -- LB, 11:07:26 06/09/08 Mon
• Warner has taken himself out of contention for VP. He would rather be a Sen. (NT) -- LB, 12:00:22 07/03/08 Thu

• I preferred Hillary. She lost to Oboma.. Oboma is now our nominee. Lets elect Him and go from there and pray that he’s up too the Job As our President. (NT) -- Raymond, 21:20:27 06/05/08 Thu
  • She was your choice of any Democrat you could pick (that's what I meant). If you could pick ANYone to be the Democratic candidate, who would it be? (NT) -- janet, 21:36:41 06/05/08 Thu
    • Yes , Hillary, My first choice of all runing (NT) -- Raymond, 21:42:46 06/05/08 Thu
      • There has been 15 presidents during my lifetime. Warren Harding thru George W Bush I would rate Bill Clinton Third best of them. FDR No. One , And Harry S Truman no. Two. (NT) -- Raymond, 22:05:46 06/05/08 Thu
        • I was impressed with John Edwards and Joe Biden. Either one would have been an excellent candidate. Biden is brilliant. (NT) -- LB, 22:19:51 06/05/08 Thu
        • But they're dead. Who, living, would you have chosen (and can't say Clinton b/c he can't run again) (NT) -- Janet, 17:37:58 06/06/08 Fri
• Janet, are you asking who other than the candidates who ran would be pick to be Pres? That's a tough one. >> -- LB, 23:10:24 06/06/08 Fri
  • That's what I was asking. Who would you choose as a candidate if you could. Well known doesn't always make a strong candidate though. I can come up with a list of well known - I was wondering who you'd pick based on merits, experience, etc. (NT) -- janet, 08:43:59 06/07/08 Sat
  • I would love to see someone shut down the Karl Rove smear machine and all the others on both sides so that more people would be encouraged not just to run for office but to vote. I know a lot of people who just don't pay attention to politics anymore because it's gotten so darned ugly. What a shame. I like Joe Biden, too, Judy and hoped that he would be able to make it to the nomination. I would have liked to see him and Obama on a ticket together. (NT) -- cyndi, 10:23:43 06/07/08 Sat
    • Jim Webb of VA fills the bill on that account. He is a tough former marine, a more conservative Dem, and I think he was Sec. of the Navy. His son is serving in Iraq. He would blister the behind of anyone who tried to smear him. (NT) -- LB, 10:42:54 06/07/08 Sat
      • I have great respect for Webb. He was a Republican and switched parties over this stupid war fought because of lies. He campaigned with his son's combat boots, a Marine serving in Iraq. He has a temper which would be a good asset in Veep because he can play the attack dog role. (NT) -- cyndi, 12:04:23 06/07/08 Sat

• I hope she sells to her supporters. We need to pull together. Thanks for posting this. (NT) -- cyndi, 10:25:14 06/07/08 Sat

• Again, I just don't understand your antipathy toward Obama but respect your right to believe and vote whatever way you want. This is politics, after all, and there are two sides to every coin. And that means there's a side for the Obama camp, as well. I don't really want to debate the issue, but just wanted to point out that there are a lot of people think it's time to try to unite the party or we risk an even greater chance of defeat in the fall. The time to fight is long past, or we'll fight at out own peril as a party. (NT) -- cyndi, 11:01:00 06/05/08 Thu
  • That's the way it works when one candidate beats another to win the nomination. I can't think of a single situation where it was any different historically. Someone wins and someone loses. Clinton is far from being forgotten.. She is a tough figher and undoubtedly has her eye on other prizes: The Supreme Court, the position of Gov. of NY, etc. (NT) -- LB, 11:30:47 06/05/08 Thu
    • If a few days wait is a hindrance to unity , Im afraid we’re in trouble.. Obama Himself is gracious and in no hurry to push her aside, but his followers are down right mean and dirty toward Hillary. For unity in the party, Oboma’s camp has to lead in that direction , instead of tearing down Hillary and the party. Now’s the time for Obama to LEAD The whole party. (NT) -- Raymond, 12:25:56 06/05/08 Thu
      • So Raymond - are you going to give him a chance to do so? (NT) -- Just wondering..., 19:27:23 06/05/08 Thu
        • Aren't his hands kind of tied until Hillary officially concedes the race to her? (NT) -- Janet (still wondering), 19:31:06 06/05/08 Thu
          • Janet----Sure. I'll give him a chance.. He's our man now and needs all our suport.. God help us if we sit back and let the Republicans win in Nov. I want Him to pick up the WHOLE PARTY And LEAD. BTW I do nor want Hillary on his ticket as VP (NT) -- Raymond, 20:08:11 06/05/08 Thu
            • I don't either - cuz if she is - I may be looking at voting for McCain (NT) -- janet, 20:59:48 06/05/08 Thu

• The smart dwarfs would vote for ... ? (NT) -- LB, 16:54:32 06/01/08 Sun
  • Change is cool----à>>> -- Raymond, 12:14:11 06/02/08 Mon
    • You're right Raymond... Hillary would change it - back to a Clinton White House. Many people, myself included, are ready for something different - a REAL change. Obama has more experience than Edwards (either time he ran) but no one really commented on that while he was running.... maybe because he's a mwm? (NT) -- Janet, 15:43:36 06/03/08 Tue

• Gasoline, groceries, clothing, you name it. The price is going up and up and the value of the dollar is going down and down. Disgusting. (NT) -- LB, 23:57:18 05/22/08 Thu

• Now I doubt that that will happen in light of Huckabee's stupid gun joke. It could even ruin his political future. (NT) -- LB, 09:36:04 05/18/08 Sun

• I've heard from John Kerry, John Edwards, Al Gore and various and sundry other members of the DNC. (NT) -- LB, 13:41:31 05/10/08 Sat

• But they were expecting her to have a strong win over him... and that certainly didn't happen. (NT) -- janet, 18:31:51 05/08/08 Thu
  • The Fatman is taking credit for it. (NT) -- LB, 18:49:27 05/08/08 Thu

  • But no one crticizes right wing white religious leaders who advise other candidates. >> -- LB, 23:21:23 05/02/08 Fri
    • Right wing "preachers" not "leaders." Bad error. (NT) -- LB, 09:05:42 05/03/08 Sat
  • You are right, Falwell and Robertson------->>>>>>>> -- Raymond, 10:01:29 05/03/08 Sat
• I'd like to think the voters are smart enough to make their own judgement calls. And often, seems like when the media plays stuff up, it DOES turn out that the voters make up their own minds (NT) -- janet, 09:09:21 05/03/08 Sat
  • Perhaps but the uneducated and those who are not politcally savvy seem to fall for the distractions of lapel pins and other patrioticc displays, religious affilliations, spouses' actions, etc. It keeps them from thinking about the real issues: the war, the economy, healthcare, soc. sec., etc. (NT) -- LB, 12:58:38 05/03/08 Sat
    • True - but they're often the ones who stay away from the polls... though have LOTS of opinions (NT) -- janet, 15:48:15 05/03/08 Sat
      • It just may be that here in NC, we actually will be a MAJOR player in the deciding factor. We're usually so yesterday's news by the time the primary rolls around. When did the primary season begin so early? Seems like when I was young - the primaries were in May, the conventions (which used to be interesting to watch to learn who the candidate would be) was in the summer, and the general was in Nov. Now, the candidates are decided by the convention time. Why even bother to have the conventions? (NT) -- Janet, 15:50:30 05/03/08 Sat
        • ITA. I used to love to watch the conventions. You could see them actually choose a candidate by ballot. Now it's all over before they even get there. The convention is meaningless now. (NT) -- LB, 16:41:37 05/03/08 Sat
    • The uneducated and those who are not politically savvy , or the educated and those who are politically savvy , can be pulled by a political party that they follow .If you don’t believe this , check the votes in either the House or Senate, and the voters that put them in office. People think the way their party thinks. This is the thing that needs to be changed, We are in bad need of free thinkers, not followers. (NT) -- Raymond, 12:28:26 05/04/08 Sun
      • Not that He’s the better Person, but I think that Obama will be our next President. Because of a large group that are Bush haters and another group of Clinton haters, grouped with 90% of the black voters. (NT) -- Raymond, 12:54:17 05/04/08 Sun

• It is very easy to get on a candidate's mailing list ... whether you want to or not. (NT) -- LB, 18:41:45 04/27/08 Sun

• How does her support for Obama make her a racist? (NT) -- LB, 09:08:05 04/17/08 Thu

      • People need to think for themselves. What is right for one person may not be right for another. That's why there are many religions and more than one political party. No one can tell me how to think or what to believe. (NT) -- LB, 12:59:17 04/17/08 Thu

  • It's weird that some Christians are sooo threatened by other beliefs and religions. There is almost a vicious nature to some of the stuff floating around out there. It's sad.... and a little scary. (NT) -- Brenda, 14:46:35 04/18/08 Fri
    • The racists and bigots are coming out of the woodwork for this election. Nothing is too low or too rotten for them to spread. (NT) -- LB, 17:44:13 04/18/08 Fri

• #1 is not big secret. He was shown on the news yesterday talking about it... GMA or a show like that I had on. #4 isn't surprising.... and # 6 ... I sort of agree with him on that one. lol... I have some pretty strong viewpoints on the housing mess. (NT) -- Janet, 14:40:57 04/06/08 Sun
  • That would be fine if the government wasn't bailing out Bear Stearns, a big brokerage firm that is going under. I do not want my tax funds used for that. (NT) -- LB, 16:17:07 04/06/08 Sun
    • No, and I don't want my tax dollars going to bail out people with champagne tastes and wants on a Budweiser budget. But the single (no kids) person gets absolutely slammed when it comes to taxes, tax breaks, etc. (NT) -- Janet, 16:31:27 04/06/08 Sun

  • Here's a sidebar then: What do you think about Druggie Limbaugh telling Repubs to cross over for the primary and vote for Hillary? He's calling it "Rush the Vote." (NT) -- LB, 15:03:07 03/29/08 Sat
    • ITS DIRTY POLITICS . Many republicans that I’m acquainted with are crossing the party line In the other direction. They say republicans can beat Obama in the fall. (NT) -- Raymond, 15:36:04 03/29/08 Sat
      • I think the Repubs are crossing over to vote for Hillary because she is the one they think they can beat. It is dirty and there should be a law against it. (NT) -- LB, 17:39:29 03/29/08 Sat
        • Here is a recent speech by Obama on the subject.>> -- LB, 23:52:39 03/29/08 Sat
        • I would have to disagree with you on that point, LB. I agree - it sucks and it's not right... but it's one thing (imo) that makes our freedom so great - the fact we CAN do that! I don't agree, but to make it against the law is going against our rights. (NT) -- Janet, 20:52:43 03/31/08 Mon
          • Janet, I see your point, but I feel that it is tampering with the vote. In some states you cannot cross party lines in primaries. My state is one of them. Limbaugh is telling his listeners to change parties for the purpose of this vote and then switch back again for the general election in Nov. That is obvious vote manipulation. I have no problem with voters crossing party lines to vote in Nov. That has always been permitted. But tampering with the primaries to try to influence the choice of their opponent is really dirty, lowdown politics. (NT) -- LB, 10:19:08 04/01/08 Tue
            • Just remember though - Rush Limberger isn't as wonderful as he thinks - and the ones who actually think what he says is logical are too damn lazy to get out and vote anyways! lolol (NT) -- Janet, 17:12:06 04/01/08 Tue

  • If he wins, it would be a dramatic change from the Numbskull in Chief. (NT) -- LB, 17:26:23 03/19/08 Wed

• Some from Iowa went over to Obama. The rest may not decide until the convention. Romney's votes will not decide anything since McCain has a lock on the nomination. Edwards may get to be a kingmaker. I read that he may be interested in the positions of attorney general or sec. of labor. Either would be perfect for him. (NT) -- LB, 17:24:25 03/19/08 Wed

• Not as long as the NRA has a say in anything. They refuse to allow even the slightest restriction on the use of guns. (NT) -- LB, 00:19:16 03/04/08 Tue
  • It really is scary. The gun situation is just out of control and it's killing us, literally. I'm pretty sure that's not what the founding fathers had in mind when they drafted the 2nd amendment. (NT) -- Brenda, 00:15:11 03/05/08 Wed

• I don't know how much the CRA affected this state. I think Jesse Helms did more to pulling us from D to R. When I came down here to school in the mid 70's, my college yearbook shows a handful of students in the Young Republicans, while the Young Dems had a pile of members (and this was a small college). About 7 years ago I went to homecoming and noticed while thumbing through a yearbook how that had shifted. Handful of young Dems, a pile of young Reps. (NT) -- janet, 07:43:48 02/23/08 Sat

• I guess she's honest. That's refreshing. There are certainly a few things I dislike about America at the present time. She's young too. How old is she? Google here I come. (NT) -- Brenda, 14:16:31 02/20/08 Wed
  • fyi, she's 44. Anyhooo, the whole hullabaloo just seems like more of the "I'm more patriotic than you" shtick. ((((Yawn)))) (NT) -- Brenda, 14:46:04 02/20/08 Wed
    • There is one thing that is refreshing about this primary season.. A large group of voters are blind to color and gender. I think that Hillary or Obama would make a good President (NT) -- Raymond, 15:01:26 02/20/08 Wed
• I find that that statement is sel-explanatory. As a black woman in this country, she has had plenty of reasons to be less than proud of her country.>> -- LB, 17:21:56 02/20/08 Wed
  • When I heard that on the news (and it's being played to death!) I took it as she was proud of her country for being unified. Maybe I read more into it then you did Raymond, but I didn't take it as a slam against the country, but pride in one facet that had previously been lacking (NT) -- Janet, 20:11:53 02/20/08 Wed
    • ITA. You said it better than I did, Janet. (NT) -- LB, 23:09:17 02/20/08 Wed
      • There are lots of reasons to feel less than proud of this country these days: Abu Graib, waterboarding, the way Hurrican Katrina was handled, the lies that got us into a war with Iraq. etc. (NT) -- LB, 09:47:19 02/22/08 Fri

We are supposedly the greatest country in the world, busy telling all other countries how to live and how to rule their own nations. I can't believe that the information in this article gets so little attention. It's disgraceful. (NT) -- cyndi, 09:44:37 01/12/08 Sat

• I saw that. I have mixed feelings about Hilary Clinton. -- cyndi, 08:50:00 01/08/08 Tue
  • I don't think she ever really had much of a chance. I think that the media and the Repubs wanted her to win. The press wanted the Clintons back in the spotlight as fodder for many stories and the Repubs thought she could unite their party because of their dislike for her.>> -- LB, 10:27:03 01/08/08 Tue
    • I always felt his campaigning for her was more out of a sense of obligation than a real desire to see her acheive the office of the Presidency. And he does owe her big time. If he'd been my husband........ (NT) -- cyndi, 11:50:16 01/08/08 Tue

• Ought to be but it's not. Very few of the national media are even covering this kind of thing anymore. For some reason they're all scared..... or numb from dealing with the slimball criminals for all these years. Either way it's pathetic and inexcusable. (NT) -- Brenda, 16:19:53 01/04/08 Fri
• I'm so disgusted with the media in this country. More time is spent on Britney Spears and her train wreck of a life than on what's going on in the corrupt White House of George W. Bush. There's no excuse that I am willing to accept from these slackers any more. Fox "news" rules the air waves and that alone makes me nauseated. Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins of today. In fact, what are the orignial Woodward and Bernstein doing during this time? I just don't get it. (NT) -- cyndi, 08:53:48 01/08/08 Tue

• Just as plenty of "Christians" live anything but a "Christlike" life... not all Muslims are bad. I would take anything sent out like that with a grain of salt. Also, if you do check it out on Snopes.com, you'll find it's listed as a "False". I don't give much validity to these emails.... even for the candidates I don't care for. :) (NT) -- janet, 18:30:13 12/02/07 Sun

• For heaven's sake, read the WHOLE article.>> -- LB, 01:16:55 12/03/07 Mon
  • Please, please do not continue to spread the lies of Fox news. And I use the word news very, very loosely when referring to them. This attack against him is absolutely racist in it's origins and that's the truth that you should consider when spreading their lies for them. I really don't think you want to be associated with racist fear mongers, Raymond. (NT) -- cyndi, 12:32:29 12/03/07 Mon
• I have read the whole article, Both sides were persented I still have a problem with a person that will not salute, or pledge allegiance to the flag of my country. A picture is worth a thousand words CLICK HERE (NT) -- Raymond, 10:48:40 12/06/07 Thu
  • No, a lie was presented and then the truth was explained. They are not equal. The false statements are clearly labeled as such. (NT) -- LB, 11:21:51 12/06/07 Thu
    • Someone is lying to you, Raymond. Someone thinks you are gullible. Those pictures were taken during the singing of the anthem, not during the pledge of allegiance,>> -- LB, 11:35:08 12/06/07 Thu
      • LB you convinced me . You are right. I didn’t look into this far enough. to get the truth. (NT) -- Raymond, 12:29:54 12/06/07 Thu
        • Barack Obama is my senator. I was very proud to cast my vote for him. I would be proud to have him as my President. I have read his books and listened to him speak. I don't accept the drivel spread by Fox news about anyone, nor do I patently believe the negative things I hear about any candidate without trying to find out the truth for myself. These are dangerous times and they look to be that way for decades. We shouldn't reject any candidate based on ONE moment captured on film unless it betrays him in an act of treason with a foreign power, etc. This picture doesn't speak the truth of Obama's heart. I know that within my own heart. (NT) -- cyndi, 12:36:41 12/06/07 Thu
          • Someone above called me racist because of the above post. I'll assure you that is not the case. (Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (D) Virginia 3rd), is my Representive in congress. I voted for him and will again. (NT) -- Raymond, 13:27:03 12/06/07 Thu
            • Reread the post. I did NOT call YOU a racist. I said that the attack against Mr. Obama is racist and that by propagating you may be considered racist by some people. And that I didn't think you wanted to be called a racist or thought of as one. (NT) -- cyndi, 15:45:58 12/06/07 Thu
        • Raymond, I'm glad you checked into this carefully. Whoever is sending you these messages about Obama is simply a liar. By the way, Obama is not the candidate I support. (NT) -- LB, 13:56:17 12/06/07 Thu

• I don't care much for him personally - but I imagine the high marks came from his handling of affairs after 9-11 (NT) -- Janet, 18:50:28 11/27/07 Tue

• The Sr. George Bush and Babs must be really proud of Dubya and Neil. What next? Are they going to go into business after the W.H. years and sell lead painted toys as part of their no child program? (NT) -- cyndi, 14:10:31 09/13/07 Thu
  • And then there's Marvin Bush, another character who should be investigated.>> -- LB, 20:23:01 09/13/07 Thu
    • Very creepy, indeed! If it had been Roger Clinton, I'm willing to bet we would have seen a firing squad on the White House lawn. I hate to see things like this not reported. It just makes me queasy. (NT) -- cyndi, 08:01:11 09/14/07 Fri

  • we'll be reading much more on Sen Craig's guilty plea up here in MN - he's now decided to try to get his plea reversed. Oy. So much tapping going on, toe-tapping, wire-tapping, who can keep track? (NT) -- Allegra, 23:31:10 09/09/07 Sun
• Jeez. What kills me most of all, beyond the hypocrisy, is the way that Rep. Vitter from La. is being given a pass even though he's been known to frequent female prostitutes. I guess there's no prolem if the prostitutes are female. (NT) -- cyndi, 14:06:28 09/13/07 Thu

• I donated a little tidbit of money to their campaign the other day. Not as much as I would like but I hope it helps. (NT) -- cyndi, 13:00:48 09/02/07 Sun
  • Me, too. If a lot people donate a little money, it will add up. (NT) -- LB, 09:49:16 09/03/07 Mon

• I honestly think the Republicans and big business are missing the mark by demonizing universal health care. One reason companies in other countries are difficult to compete with is because they don't have the huge budget outlays for benefits that big companies in this country do because their governments provide health care. I wish someone would point that out. (NT) -- cyndi, 13:03:17 09/02/07 Sun
  • The Repubs have been very successful with their "socialized medicine" argument. I will never understand why anyone would vote against his own interests. Very few people can afford health care on their own. (NT) -- LB, 09:52:07 09/03/07 Mon

• I was on the USS West Virginia on the way to attact the Japan main land when Hiroshima was hit. I was back in the States and was discharged on Sept 11 1945. The nuclear attack let me come home (NT) -- Raymond, 14:11:33 09/01/07 Sat

  • Yes, it ended a prolonged war and saved many lives. (NT) -- LB, 09:53:25 09/03/07 Mon

• Neither--I am sure Satan (the devil) was and is delighted with both. By the way, I'm glad you posted, and was not on the bridge. (NT) -- Raymond, 14:14:25 08/03/07 Fri
  • me too, Sorry, I didn't think to check in. No one we know was on the bridge ... but the entire state is up in arms over this thing, total shock. And not shock and awe. (NT) -- Allegra, 15:55:28 08/04/07 Sat
• At least Nixon was intelligent. He understood foreign policy. He had personality problems and mental issues but he didn't lie to get us into a war or try to take away our civil liberties. (NT) -- LB, 22:20:18 08/03/07 Fri
  • and bush isn't just trying, is he. This weekend he really hit the trifecta - gets to wiretap unfettered by anything or anyone other than that felon Gonzales (NT) -- Allegra, 15:57:05 08/04/07 Sat

• We have our own Caligula. (NT) -- LB, 23:15:52 07/31/07 Tue
  • it's comforting to know there are some people analyzing this and trying to figure out a safe path for the country. I dont' think he (Bush) should be confronted directly, since his psych problems will force a heinous reaction ... but maybe pursuing impeachment of Gonzales would do the trick - keep Bush occupied, somewhat like he's doing in Iraq ... he's a very frightening man (NT) -- Allegra, 13:31:43 08/01/07 Wed

• Do any of the Republican candidates have a chance - including Fred Thompson? Their only hope is to steal the election. (NT) -- Allegra, 10:18:18 07/24/07 Tue

• He has removed the generals who don't agree with him. His view differs from anyone else's. He lives in a fantasy world. (NT) -- LB, 17:25:33 07/12/07 Thu
• Worst President ever. And he is decimating our military (talk about protecting the nation) (NT) -- Allegra, 12:54:34 07/14/07 Sat

• that would be a miracle, to get him out of there. And how about jeb Bush as a replacement?Fred Thompson has a rep for being very lazy, from what I've heard - and most of his 'talk' right now is fearfearfear all the time - he's even condemned Cuban immigrants living in Florda, saying 'we live in the suitcase bomb" age. Enough with the fear mongering already. (NT) -- Allegra, 20:01:02 06/30/07 Sat

• They're looking for another Reagan. This guy is an actor, a Southerner, and has a deep rumbling voice. That's all that's important to Repubs. (NT) -- LB, 17:07:16 06/07/07 Thu
• He must plan to represent the "Hollywood Values" wing of the Republican party, being an actor, and all. The GOP is the only party to ever nominate and get an actor elected, and yet they constantly harp about Hollywood values ... He does have a leg up on Newt Gingrich and Rudy Guiliani though, since their second marriages overlapped their first marriages. And he's only been married twice instead of three or more times. Does this woman look like First Lady material to you? -- Allegra, 19:42:56 06/08/07 Fri
