“Blue, You are out to lunch! Huffpost is always running blogs that are negative to Obama and to Democrats. Difference is, there are not many stupid things he says or does in comparison to the Republicans or to Palin. Further, we never stopped making fun of Beck/oreilly/Fox. We can multitask and do them all at the same time.
When it comes to misdirection, the Republicans could not live without it. Whenever the Republicans are doing something wrong or guilty of something, the first thing they do is accuse the Democrats of being the ones doing it. Like when they were telling the country that the Dems were unpatriotic while the Bush Administration was committing acts of Treason by outing Top-Secret, undercover, CIA Agents. Another example is how the Republicans claim Dems are Godless while they walk down onto the floor of Congress and vote to de-fund, get rid of, or against any Bill that goes to help the Poor, the Handicapped, and the Elderly, directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ. You know, all of those programs that the Democrats put in place, directly in-line with the teachings of Jesus Christ.”

“These Trolls are not that deep! You give them too much credit! These people really do believe the nonsense they spew. They do not know it is a bunch of lies. The people they listen to constantly wave a Flag and lay claim to being Patriots until the listener gets emotional. Then, once they have opened up the persons emotions, they fill their minds full of lies and hatred. This is called being Brain-Washed. The technique is very simple and has been used successfully since the eighteen Hundreds. You can pick up any recent Book on the subject of Mind Control and it spells out the exact methods of Brain-Washing that are being used by the Republican Rhetoric Machine. These people really believe the nonsense that you and I can see right through.
I have been waiting for a real newshow to do a story on it........­waiting.”

“O's numbers are not falling due to an increase in Republicans. O is losing Dems and Swing-Voters that expected him to do good things but instead are getting thrown under the Bus. Obama is taking advise from the wrong people. He has surrounded himself with the same people that ran his campaign and is getting advise that is out to lunch. He needs to listen to people that are more connected with the public, not driven by the Washington mind-set. He has squandered a great deal of his credibility by advise that takes us in the wrong direction. I really thought he was smarter!! His administration does not know how to use his popularity and power and has caused him to squander it on nothing. What good are advisors that are so cautious that they cause you to lose your power? He had the country in his hand and let it slip away with nothing to show for it. What a huge dissappointment. If only he would wake-up and lead again.”

“Texan, You are almost hitting the Nail on the Head. I see the MSM trying to link O's falling numbers with his "bad policy" or with "a more conservative country". This is not what is happening. The drop in numbers is an overall dislike for the fact that Democrats can not get anything done. The drop in numbers is a drop in faith that the Dems can change the direction of our country rather than a surge in Republican support. The Bluedogs in the Dem party think their people want them to vote like conservati­ves....NOT­!!!! The Bluedogs are destroying the Democratic party by blocking and watering down the party's initiatives. They are also pushing themselves and other Dems out of office by this behavior. Harry Reid and Nancy Peloci need to get together and change some rules to force everyone to fall in line or we are doomed as a party.”

“One can only hope that the Republicans will oppose the troops being sent to Afghanistan. I hope they take an all-out effort to oppose more troops and start saying this is a lost War etc....

This will confuse the Republicans even further than they already are.”

“What Landrieu did is normal, everyday, dealings in the Senate. But, that is beside the point that her State really needed the Money and that the Money she got was Money they should have received anyway. She meerly secured a means of getting it faster.

As for the Left throwing barbs at Condi and Palin, we never called them Prostitutes. Further, the vast majority of things that we said about Condi and Palin were absolutely true. These two women are an affront to all other Women in the country, no, the World.
Women like Hillary, Landrieu, and Pelosi are some REAL FEMALE ROLE MODELS. They do not go in for stupid.”

“Good God!! Your thinking is really a mess!! Maybe you should stop thinking all together. Thats what the Republicans do.

Yes, you can represent the majority of people in your district. Yes, there are polls taken all of the time. No, not every single person is going to want the same things at the same time.”

“I simply do not buy into the reasoning of the CBO when it comes to figuring out how many states will opt-out and where the premiums will fall. They are pulling this out of their back sides. There are just too many factors involved in trying to guess where the numbers will go. The premiums will not only be based on the number of people that are enrolled but what percentage of them can afford the plan and what income bracket they fall into. the Premium will not be based on how many get the maximum subsidy (the amount paid by the Government) but rather set by the Government to be competitive with the other plans. By the time a few years of the plan have passed, I am willing to bet the Public Option Plan will be more comprehensive and will draw more people than most of the Private Plans.

I have been getting the feeling that the CBO is more partisan than they let on. Sometimes it seems to me that there is a Republican slant coming out of the CBO.”

“Who cares if Bill Clinton shows up or not? Keith done good!!

BTW Blanche Lincoln gave her speech on the floor today and said that she was not going to give in to all of the outside pressure and threats of people giving donations to possible primary rivals. This was just before she pledged to allow the bill to get to the floor. I don't care what she says, if it were not for the pressure, she would not have allowed the bill to make it to the floor...pe­riod. I know for a fact that the pressure worked and we need to apply more pressure to her vote. We also need to smear it in their faces if they do not vote in favor of the Healthcare Bill. Apply pressure and never let up!!! If they want to run under the Democratic Banner, they need to start acting like Democrats. If not, we need to fund a rival for a primary. Make her listen to the left!!!!”

“It is about time someone pointed out how the Book Tour has been Engineered to make Palin look more popular than she really is. I live in Michigan and saw, first-hand, how the press handled Sarah's miraculus Book Tour. MSNBC is always trying to inflate and Milk a story for maximum effect and therefore left out the real reason there was such a big crowd. She was sceduled to make only "ONE" stop in a heavily Republican district. What this means is that anyone in Mich wanting to see Sarah had to travel to get to the only place in the state where she was scheduled. Add that to the fact that the only stop was in the heaviest Republican district in the state and you could only hope there would be a large crowd. In fact, I was shocked that there was only fifteen hundred people that showed up. I think the real story here is that, even though her appearance was in the biggest Republican stronghold in the state, and it was the "only" appearance in the state, she only drew Fifteen Hundred people from the entire state. I was thinking she was going to have at least several thousand people at the event. I think it shows that her popularity is exaggerated far beyond reality.”

“GG,
You could not be more wrong about Healthcare. If we do not get the costs down the Recovery will not come. Small Business is unable to afford Healthcare costs and it is running them out of Business. Further, if they can not offer Healthcare to their Employees, they can not get the talent they need to compete.”

“Geithner, Summers, and Bernanke did a good job of stimulating the Financial and Corporate sectors but now they need to bring in someone that will set up the Main Street recovery. I don't mind if they keep Geithner, Summers, and Bernanke as long as they appoint someone with the power to handle the Jobs portion of the recovery. These three Guys are in over their heads when they get outside the Financial arena.”

“These BlueDogs do not seem to understand why they got Elected in Republican Districts. For some mistaken reason, they think they got Elected due to the way they acted like Conservatives during their Campaigns. WRONG!!! They got Elected because they are Democrats. The people of their districts were sick of the direction Republicans were taking the Country and wanted to see if the Dems would do a better job of getting something done for the people. Problem is, these BlueDogs are blocking their own party from doing anything good and getting anything done, thereby disappointing the people that put them in office. THEY REALLY DON'T GET IT!!! They are putting themselves and the Democrats out of office. UNBELIEVABLE!!

I have spoken with many Republicans that went into the voting booth and secretly voted for these Democrats in hopes they would get something done. They now feel that they could have voted for the Republican and got the same result. WAKE UP BLUEDOGS!!”

“It is really fun to watch as one of your blog post ideas has caught on and has taken off like Wild-Fire.
I had been reading the blog sites and noticed that nobody had been pointing out that the Republicans looked like Cowards when they talked about bringing the Terrorists to the U.S. for trial. A few days ago I decided to point this out on a few of the Liberal blogs and it has now taken on a life of its own. It is nice to see that your voice is actually being heard. Thank You!!!”

“Makeawish,
Where have you been? Don't you watch Rachel Maddow or pay attention to all of the deep investigative reporters when they point out the absolute criminal behavior going on with the Oil in Iraq. The Bush-era people have their claws on controlling and owning nearly all of the Oil in that country.

You better believe it was all about the Oil!! To think otherwise is to be naive.”

“OMG!! It just dawned on me!! Most of the people blogging here don't know the main reason we do not want to try them in the Military system. I assumed everyong was familiar with the biggest arguement against giving the Terrorists a Military trial.

Just to get everyone up to speed;
If you give these people the ststus of being prisoners of War instead of Murderers, you give them rights that make them soldiers during a time of War. In other words, if they are viewed as prisoners of War, then it is not against the conventions of War to bomb the enemy's buildings. When you are a soldier and you bomb the enemy's buildings.­..there is nothing wrong with that. We do it all the time in Wars. If, on the other hand, you try them in a civilian court, you take away the arguement that they were at war with us and do not allow them the status of being an enemy Soldier.
When we lable them as Terrorists, and take away the Military trial, we can try them as the Murderers that they are.

I hope I explained this good enough to convey the sticky situation.”

“Whenever I see one of those Republican Cowards, shaking in their Boots, talking about how there will be Terrorists in the United States, I can't help but think about the way they get deferments rather than serve in the Military. I also can't help but think how they carry that cowardess into this "bringing Terrorists to this country" thing. Rudy Juliani is the biggest Coward of them all. They are trying to sell the Country on this false idea that it is risky to try a Terrorist in our tried-and-true, time-tested, legal system and how it is safer to try them in a Military Tribunal system that was established with the new Laws since 2006. Just the opposite is true. It is far riskier to try them in the new Military Tribunal system. To see how true this is, just read some of the statments from Military JAG's that have tried to bring cases before the Tribunal. This crap that it is risky to bring them to the U.S. is nothing more than fear-mongering by the Republicans. The Republicans are afraid of a bunch of Beaten, Tortured, Shakled, losers that got caught by our Military and imprisoned. These men are about as dangerous as a powder-puff. But, the Republicans are scared to death of them. Frightened even. If one of these big, bad, Republicans were to come face-to-face with a bag Lady in an alley, they would probably soil themselves.”

“Jayk4444, I would like you to name the Contractor and the District and give information about when the conversation took place and who was there. DO IT NOW!!!!”

“Obama is deliberating the outcome of peoples lives and has not taken very long at all. He has enlisted some of the most responsible and thoughtful people in the Country to advise and comment on the situation and will reach the best decision possible. His decision will have nothing to do with political posturing or how best to feed the Military Machine, like the previous Administration is suspected of doing. He knows there is a great deal riding on his decision and will come through with the best plan. Acting as if there is a need for a quick decision after the last Administration made "none" is just plain stupid. Most people in the country are not falling for this Republican Bullshit talking point. Save your breath and our time and go away.”

“The changing of the rules has been going on slowly for about fifty years now. A lot of the present rules were not and are not part of the description in our Constitution. They are quite a bit different from the rules of just thirty years ago. The rules and proceedures of each body have changed, for the worst, mostly in the past thirty years. Pearlstein is correct about the fact that we need to get back to the good old days of real debate and real Majority rule.”

“Republicans are never held accountable for anything when it comes to leaving it to a Southern White State. You can be the President of the U.S. and lie through your teeth and the Republicans will turn a blind eye and blame it on Bill Clinton or those Godless Democrats. Their real value is in forgiveness of their own kind...Dea­th to everyone else.”

“Making statements like "I think men are jealous women can create life" and "since birth control pills are not covered by Insurance" is no way to get men to join the cause.

You need to understand that these people are using these issues as a Political tool. The only thing they are interested in is getting the Evangelical vote.

BTW Insurance "does" pay for Birth Control Pills. Try to stop making false accusations about men and get your facts straight about what Insurance covers. Other than Whining and Lying, your reply was great!”

“Willis,
You don't really believe this crap!! Do you?
The President took a great deal of deliberation to come to a decision. I really don't believe he is going to make a decision based on his re-election. That is just a stupid thing to say.”

“Lauralics, When you say the WH is immature crybabies do you mean they are making things up? You know, like Death Panels, Obama is a Muslem, Obama is not a citizen of the U.S., The Healthcare Bill will pull the plug on Grandma, Obama and the Dems are Socialists, communists, Marxists..­..etc. Could go on for hours with just the lies of the past year.

It is people like you.....st­ill supporting the nuts that almost destroyed the world economic system...t­hat is acting immature. When you support this nonsense you are also destroying this country. Join the democrats in getting out the truth and seriously trying to do something to help the people of this country. GROW UP!!”

“901, I love the way you heap all of the blame onto Men and absolve the Woman of any responsibility whatsoever!! I knew several young Ladies in High-School that had the very same attitude. They had several Abortions before they reached the age of Sixteen. There was no accountability for anything. It was all just "way too easy".”
