“An empty vote. ACORN received minimal direct federal funding anyway.”

“One problem with the accuracy of the article. Mel Martinez announced a while ago that he would not be seeking reelection, so the timing is off a little.

Still, I'm sure he saw the writing on the wall.”

“Where's Stephanie Miller?!”

“Isn't the law in Kansas- where Dr Tiller had his practice- that in order to do the procedure legally, two doctors have to certify that continuing the pregnancy would cause substantial and irreversible impairment of the mother's major bodily function(s)?

That legal hurdle would suggest that the 2 or 3 doctors who perform this procedure would have more than 2% of their patients coming in because a fetal problem was diagnosed late in pregnancy.”

“"Liberal voices have been take off the air, as in Miami where Fox replaced the liberal station with another sports show."

When WINZ initially changed from a sports talker to a progressive talker in '04, it's ratings almost tripled, to the point where it was beating all the sports stations, and was second only to its sister Clearchannel station WIOD- a conservative talk station. At the time they announced their return t sports, they were still beating all the sports station AND conservative talker WFTL. Now, their ratings are halved.

No market for progressive talk?”

“I loved, "Mr. Conservative!"

Thank you for this essay.”

“If it's half as good as it sounds now, then good on you Charlie.

I'll still be voting you out of office.”

“Gimme a B
Gimme an I
Gimme an L
Gimme an L

Gimme a list of the donors to your presidential library so that it doesn't become an issue the rest of the GE, as has been mentioned many times before.”

“Eventually, you will notice that the immunity won't pass the most basic test of constitutional legal scrutiny. . .

. . . and realize that playing along with idiot Republicans that think they're getting their way is kinda fun!”

“I do so with the firm intention -- once I'm sworn in as president -- to have my Attorney General conduct a comprehensive review of all our surveillance programs, and to make further recommendations on any steps needed to preserve civil liberties and to prevent executive branch abuse in the future.

Realize guys that this bill only protects telecoms from Civil Suits, which likely wouldn't have worked anyway (Bush Co. would've likely used the, "National Security" line to block evidence of spying, thus killing any civil case).
Obama has already committed before that he would appoint an AG that would conduct investigations of Bush and Co., and BUSH is the one we really want.

Plus he has already said he would make the effort to get the immunity pulled from the bill anyway, so let's not rush to burn the man a the stake.”

“Everyone please, leave the sugar baby- er, I mean the money honey alone.

If you made a 7-figure annual salary, and got a half-million-dollar advance to write a book, $200 K a year wouldn't look like much to you either. . .”

“There's nothing that could be better for Obama than for it to be Obama vs. random Republican. There wouldn't be enough time for any republican (other than Huckabee and Romney) at this point to define himself, and each one is very deeply flawed.

I cover some of them and their flaws here:

“Al Gore would also not be the first person to serve as VP to 2 presidents

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_%28vice_president%29

That guy was.

More anti-Clinton media bias? lol.”

“I don't want to nit-pick. . . but George Clinton was a vice president who served under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Al Gore serving under Obama wouldn't exactly be a first.”
