“Brooks is a centrist only in Republican Newspeak. He'll be a Communist by the end of the week.”

“But did you know that the 3 syllable version "nuke-ya-ler" is an accepted pronunciation? And yet it's (sadly) true. Don't believe me? Check for yourself.

“Seconded.”

“I, for one, hope Bush will be the last “base” president we have for a long time. While I think my views are probably more liberal than Obama’s appear to be, he seems to understand one of the key lessons of Bush: Ideology is not a solution, but should only serve as a lens for finding one.

After two decades the right wing proposing the exact same ideological solutions for every diverse problem that came down the pike (surplus? tax cuts for the wealthy! deficit? tax cuts for the wealthy!), my first inclination was to simply replace their ideology with mine, expecting that better results would follow.

However, I believe Obama is correct here; the right thing to do is to focus on solutions first. While I have little doubt that progressive ideas will greatly inform his solutions, starting with liberal ideology first only serves to alienate moderates.

Focusing on defining the problem and finding solutions can allow Obama to marginalize the dead-end ideological debates, while actually improving the union and moving the debate in a progressive direction.”

“I totally agree. I am a "liberal, progressive", whatever you want to call me. I have 100% faith in Obama and trust he will produce the changes he promised. On the other hand, some of the promises me made may be unrealistic now, given the economic crises that has happened since he campaigned. In any event I do believe that he will do all that he can to make all of our lives better, and I think he is picking a team with experience and knowledge. There may be a good deal of knowledgeable people here, but do any of them honestly think they know better? If they do they have some egos. We all trusted Obama enough to vote for him--let's have faith he will do right by us.”

“Yes, some stories today are making me concerned about Obama's $ in the final days. Gave my last $100 to get over the last hump.”

“How do you find out where they are going to be?”

“How far we have come - let Barack use the system while remembering where he and this nation have been. Then we have a chance to redeem ourselves.”

“You are not paranoid, the Republicans are out to get you. However, most of the rest is fantacy. Clinton's early campaign was a mess. Coincidentally, Obama hired that campaign manager after Clinton had to fire her. See any connection there?

Obama is a grafter from Chicago, reinvented by David Axelrod to be the empty suit puppet candidate for George Soros. Lots of money for a Great Campaign for a Fraud.”

“"IT'S NOT TOO LATE": That's right..... I suggest all you PUMAS (who aren't Republican moles) seek some immediate counceling.”

“Hillary and Bill are entirely and personally responsible for the failure of her campaign.

Obama only darted thru the obstacles.”

“hell, realclearpolitics lists ron paul as ahead of mccain for montana. what's that tell you?”
