      I never thought this would happen.  What has gone wrong?  How could this guy turn a country so proud?  It's over.  Carter would be better…

          It's obvious. The people have spoken!

                Yes, they may have spoken, but I don't think they have any idea what they actually said. Like parrots, just repeating phrases they've heard over and over.

                  God Damn LV is smart. 

                  I went through Reagan and it was a business experience never forgotten.

                      spoken as the true elitist holier-than-thou Messiah complexed person you obviously are, oh wise one.  I think for MYSELF, why don't you SPEAK for yourself –  instead of demeaning others who may not vote in lock-step with you.

                            LV, glewis is a self described "T-partying *physchodelic* Republican"…doesn't that just say it all?  So, really,  you were speaking for yourself…he just thought he HEARD you speaking for him 🙂 

                              A "wise, true elitist holier-than-thou Messiah complexed person" ? How DO you know this glewis character? Pffft…he's a little wordy,why not just call you a snarky bitch and get it over with? I hate the idea someone might be honing in on niche— if someone's going to go on and on,  all drugged up with horrible spelling— I'd rather it be me!

                              If anyone should be hearing things as a result of psychedelia, it should be me! (I don't believe his 'psychodelic' claim, though. Most of the acid-heads I knew turned out to be quite nice.)

                              But no, I've not made his acquaintance, and now he'll be so disgusted at my politics (Liberal! Pinko!) I probably never will. Another one scratched off the list for cause. I'll just be another snarky bitch to rail at.  I can live with that.

I sure wish they could fix it to auto copy the "reply to" name, at the very least…once replies move on down you just can't tell. I'm tempted to get a ruler to follow the line…and even that's impossible sometimes!

                                                                Hate it.

For heaven's sake, it's SOCIALISM that's cool. All the really neat places have it and it works out swell. It's also what "GOD" would want  for his kids [ I really think that angle might work! ]

                                                                                    TinaR

I sure wish they could fix it to auto copy the "reply to" name, at the very least…once replies move on down you just can't tell. I'm tempted to get a ruler to follow the line…and even that's impossible sometimes!

                                                                                      Hate it.

What happened usually happens in mid term elections …nothing unusual.  It's time for those Republicans to shine with their amazing plans "to do everything exactly the same as before"– while doing something different by putting America back to work, cut entitlement programs- the same programs that benefit oldster Republicans…oh, wait. Never mind.

                                                                                               It will be ok…Sarah isn't going to be president, and while the rich might get to keep shoving their tax savings money into offshore bank accounts,Gulf Streams, yachts, couture and attractive hookers–the world isn't going to come to an end over this little election. It could be worse…………………………………………  Did you hear about 2012? Not the current election talk… but the upcoming  END OF THE WORLD?  People THINK it's all about the Mayan Calendar… I'm worried it's a Republican president…either way sucks 😉

I have no worry that Republicans can or will do anything that will be vote worthy come 2012. AND I'll be very happy for BG if the Republicans run her personal fav –  TV pundit Arkansas Huckaabee and the Tina Fey Doppelganger .
