“What? I wish people would make up their minds. Either we were attacked by 19 Saudis on 9/11 or we weren't. That is why we need the trials to be conducted here in this country and in New York. Truth can finally start coming out. The right is playing CYA time on an uber scale. Left up to them, we would never know anything. Period.”

“Thank you. Unfortunately, those poor children don't have lobbyists, or enough money to buy one.”

“Thank you. We have sat on our collective butts and bitched since Obama got sworn in. I am ready, willing and able to protest, march, rally or do anything else. We were as strong as hell during the campaign and on the day the Prez was sworn in. After that, we have pretended that he is Aladdin and sat back and complained. About everything! Do I agree with all that he has done, no. I write, call and say so. But, I am one voice ready for those with the resources to tell us what actions we can take besides calling and sitting at the computer and posting. This is getting old Jane. You have the ability to pull people together along with your other leading bloggers and radio talkers. What are you waiting for? Right now it looks like stealth-Stupak and his C-Street boys have more power than the netroot gang! Show up like you did on inauguration day, and I bet Rahm will be hiding under his desk!”

“Sorry. Don't buy it. Not that there was a massive conspiracy, but lone nut doesn't wash for me. I've had my own journey too.”

“Ssshhh...d­on't ever confess your age in this ageist society! LOL....”

“We call em like we see them....an­d by cracky, they always prove us right.”

“Candidacies and presidencies are 2 different things. You want him to govern like a candidate? We could have kept Bush then...”

“Didn't vote for Rahm either. This is where I do agree with Arianna. Olympia Snowe isn't the key to anything..­..”

“Right on the money. And speaking of money, those people are disgusting. Anyone who votes for them should be ashamed. I'm watching Ed. Peace all!”

“As usual Bob, brilliant!”

“Your not being a fan...is that based on his works or because you don't like his politics? I didn't like Jimmy Stewarts politics, but one of my favorite films is "It's A Wonderful Life." I don't think I can afford to dismiss people's creative work based on their politics. That would leave a lot of great artists out of the mix. Just seems a little short sided to me.”

“"Real" America never was. It was always a figment of the minds of white males who sold you Mrs. June Cleaver and her pearls.”

“I am so sorry. We must keep fighting for people like your friends and those on the edge like so many millions are now.”

“That's one of the many reasons I left St. Louis years ago. I knew racism would still be present, but I wanted my family to experience a level of culture and diversity that Missouri could not provide. Blunt and his audience know exactly what they are doing. Funny though, they still think that plays well to a broader audience. I hope Blunt and those like him live for a very long time. I have a feeling they will be hysterically freaked out in a few years. I hope I live to see it!”

“People of color know when they are being targeted with racism. There is a well documented history of those kind of jokes. I want them to go all out, hog wild racist in every meeting, public setting, and cable channel op they can. The rest of the country and the world should see the republicans for who they are without their sheets. I think the audience who supports them should be exposed as well. At that point, the rest of us have the option of deciding how we want to treat them. They aren't always grouped together.S­ometimes they have to face the music alone. A little public shunning goes a long, long way. Overt racists shouldn't have their businesses patronized. I know its "old school" but the civil rights movement had it right. Hit them in the wallet. I think most of them think we are still in the 50's. Think again folks. Maybe you can get away with foolishness in the South, but I bet you got a taste of how well that stuff plays now while you were in D.C. I know you got rid of some of your mouth before you got on the Metro....”

“I hope he finally achieved personal peace.”

“I've been thinking about what Hillary would have done in this situation with Bill's triangulation. Been thinking about what McCain would have done, or any of the other major candidates in the past election cycle. Think I'll stick with President Obama for the time being. He's the one who can change courses if need be ( Hillary backed her war vote till the bitter end). McCain is covering for Palin's lies even as late as today on This Week. Amazingly, people are still casting Obama as Aladdin instead of a man who has had overwhelming challenges to face after republican rule for 8 years. Not kicking Obama to the curb after 8 months. Let us know when you find the perfect person to clean this all up with a wave of their hand.”

“What makes a mandate really work is the active participation of the people. Steven is 100% correct.”

“Could you forward your post to Jane Hamsher @ Firedoglake?”

“Has anyone ever wondered whether Murdoch's intent besides pure greed, might be a perverse desire to see this country implode?”

“Thank you. What a pathetic bunch of lazy butts...we cried for 8 years about getting rid of Bush and after 8 months, progressives and liberals are ready to derail the president! Sickening!!!!”

“Brilliant!”

“Yes I am! I am a member of AFTRA-SAG-AEA. I see the handwriting on the wall. I am and have been in it for the long haul.”

“His point went right over your head, didn't it? So sad.”

“Thank you. I think they would hate it if we called them the repubic party.”
