“Tweeksmom,

You've reminded me of something I'd forgotten about - the Hussein trial - thanks for that. As for the 12 angry New York jurors. Wanna bet that one of the first things the defense attorney asks for is a change of venue? When denied I bet the attorney threatens to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'm just sayin'.........DD”

“That is precisely what I was thinking. The Rock's Obama has a better delivery and timing than Armisen's.”

“And when that happens we'll see a mass exodus of those yahoos to neighboring states like Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana. I live in Louisiana and I don't look forward to that.”

“Republicans go out of their way to prove that government doesn't work every time they get in power. During Bush's tenure, Republicans cut the Medicare Budget and now they're complaining about medicare is underfunded and not working because its "a government program"

Republicans cut funding for social programs to prove they don't work. Increase the debt by spending on military and borrow all of the money from China. The only reason government doesn't work is BECAUSE of Republicans.”

“Steele left out two words from his statement -- "every time a REPUBLICAN PARTY government gets involved in something it doesn't work". Now that would be a true statement! Witness : Katrina, banking deregulation, Food and Drug Administration mismanagement, ignoring the need for Climate Control measures, Energy mismanagement, the widening wealth gap between the top 2% of the population and the other 98%, the deficit, and on and on. Do think that maybe they're doing it on purpose so they can point to all their incompetence and say government doesn't work? Or, are they just profoundly stupid?”

“It's actually "Every time Republicans get elected it doesn't work."”

“No one could possibly understand or share your pain. It is catastropic. I can only send you my hopes that you are able to maintain an appreciation for the sky, the earth, and the air. On a bad day, I hope you can breath in deep and still appreciate that day. Keep your memories, keep your life, and try to keep your sanity. The days must be painful and I hope you can find support around you. There maybe no afterlife, but there is today. Life was too short for them, try to live yours.”

“The magnitude of so much loss is staggering, and my heart goes out to you. Having also experienced tremendous loss over a very short period, I know that it can be too much for people to grasp at all, so out of fear, they say nothing. Still, I think you make a very good point, which is that saying something, even if it is a blooper, or something awkward, is still someone's way of attempting to reach out and connect.”

“Not necessarily sicker, just more reliant and dedendent both physically and psychologically on modern medicine. Al long as we take no responsibility for our own health, we will be lining up for more expensive drugs and treatments. Stop smoking and go for a walk. And put down the big mac.”

“That or he's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Yeah, it's desirable to have what he he's talking about but to declare that he will only support the perfect scenario and will not support something less-than-perfect but is necessary for now is just, well, asshole-ish. He's like a caretaker for a person dying of thirst that turns down the only available water supply because it's not infused with some magical, healing, herbal ingredient or is not pure enough or wasn't purchased from a shaman in the Himalayas at a fare trade price. (Suddenly I'm think of "Dr. Strangelove.")

A bunch of holier-than-thou hooey. He should join that fellow living in the cave in Utah who looks down his nose at the rest of us poor materialistic cretins while gathering his precious food out of our dumpsters.

I'm as liberal as the next person but I get so sick of this precious attitude by some people. Grrr!!!!”

“Right tweeksmom, I'm surprised that his being good at basketball isn't attributed to his being part black.....This old woman is so sick and tired of the BS put out there by bitter, sore loser Republicans....be they politicians or plain old people!! All the lies about 'extermination of we elderly. My spouse and I were smart enough to have wills made out and also that piece of paper that lets doctors, family etc. what your last wishes are....if you want to be taken off life support or have medicine refused and all that good stuff that so many of us will have to decide....THAT'S WHY IT IS GOOD FOR ALL YOU SENIORS TO HAVE ALL THE LEGAL PAPERS TO HELP DETERMINE YOU FINAL WISHES.....IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER, AARP OR OTHER SENIOR ORGANIZATIONS CAN HELP YOU.”

“I hope so ~!”

“"Nubian" is Middle Eastern/African. "Amazonian" is Brazilian.

Make up your mind.”

“The phrase "That One" is indeed relative to the incendiary "You People" phrase. It felt that way to me.

But then again, that's the kind of campaign they're running. Case in point: their treatment of VP Debate moderator Gwen Ifil. McCain lamented her role as debate moderator, and Palin pretty much blew her off as the debate got under way. And why? Because John & Sarah want America to believe (or, more specifically, "older whites" to believe) that Gwen Ifil was "in the tank for Obama" because ALL black people know each other (which is laughably absurd) and that ALL black people are enthusiastically support of each other (which is patently false).

From the black reporter being kicked out of a McCain Press Conference in Florida this past summer, to the black sound man being called "an uppity negro" and being told to "sit down boy" at a Palin rally in Florida this week, it is clear that John & Sarah would obviously prefer to campaign in the Jim Crow context of the first decade of the Twentieth Century than during the multicultural, multi-ethnic nature of the first decade of the Twenty-First Century.

November 4th can't come soon enough.”

“No, it's singular of "those people". McCain doesn't speak directly to those he disdains...”
