What a joke...OT politics...
 
CNN sandbags the republican candidates with hostile questions provided
by paid plants. No less than 7 of the 33 were known democratic
supporters, advocates, pundits, or employees....... Who knows how many
of the others were plants too. Yesterday PBS continued by not giving
the republicans a debate, asking only questions that democratic voters
would want answered and avoiding, even disallowing questions about
huge republican issues such as immigration. Today PBS is asking only
leading questions designed to give each a platform to campaign with
their own special issues... What a ****ing joke...

Then the dems say they can't go on FOX because they may have to face
real questions. Note, the repubs have stood in and addressed all
Americans, the dems just dismiss the ones that may not agree with
them. Funny seeing the tape of Hillary a few months back kicking a
"suspected republican" out of a news conference for asking a tough
question.

And you defend what CNN and PBS did? You are either ignorant or a
liar.. The next segment on CNN is going to be "undecided
voters" (Hillary campaign workers), CNN proved last week beyond doubt
that they can not be trusted, say what you want about FOX, but at
least the repubs got the balls to face hostile questions and address
other than the choir. The democrats are ALL afraid to address real
issues so they only play to friendly, fixed, forums... I do not want a
president that dismisses me.

Fear of Hillary...what could be sweeter?

If Hillary wins the nomination, the Republicans are going to be staining
their shorts, because not one of their possible nominees has the balls
or brains to take her on.

Guiliani? Mr. Family Values? Mr. No Scandals?
Romney? Mr. Flip-Flop?
Huckabee? Mr. Jesus? (Nice guy, though.)
Thompson? Mr. Dead? Stick a fork in him; he's done.
Paul? Mr. Screwball? Bring him on!
McCain? Mr. Experienced? But facing the longest odds
Hunter Mr. Who?
Tancredo Mr. Who's cousin?


None of these losers can face down Hillary *or* Obama.

Gotta love it!

Just be prepared for all the 90s scandals to float back up out of the
muck. We are going to hear about the The Rose Law firm, futures
trades, Whitewater and Vince Foster again. She is running on her past
and it is still all back there. There may not be any substance but
even the most left leaning TV networks can't resist a scandal.
Hillary is not innocent in all of this either, her people have already
attacked things Obama wrote in elementry school and today they accused
him of being a drug dealer. Can the "n" word be far behind?

I am still asking myself, out of 300 million people, perhaps 200
million who are constituionally able to run for president, is this
really the best we can do? If ANY of these weasels can be president,
perhaps we don't even need one.

Maybe we could just have a lottery. We could get an envelope in the
mail with Ed McMahon's picture on it saying
"You may have already won the White House" and we find out we have to
buy a war bond or something to enter.



It's a crappy job and it doesn't pay that well for all the aggravation.

For some reason, Guiliani is still the GOP frontrunner nationally. He
has a scandal to match any and all of Hillary's.

I dunno. It is not easy trying to handicap the GOP side this year,
because almost all of them seem to be clones of each other or far-out
religiosos or nutcases. The only one I have any respect for is John McCain.

Yeah, and the dems cause not one of them has had a real news confernce
or answered real questions. When you are afraid of your posititions
and have no convictions, it is pretty daunting the idea of facing a
followup questions during one of the debates, er, uh, network
sponsored press confreneces;)

LOL
Saw a UFO - I have seen a UFO - Unidentified Flying Object - If you can not
positively identify something in the air - it is a UFO. Did he claim aliens
abducted him? That would be a different story.

But I agree these are the only two candidates that are even talking about
change!


Yes, Hillary is talking about taking a hillacopter around Iowa for the
next few days to "prove she can take off the cuff questions". At the
same time Hillabeast's campaigh was caught again yesterday on the New
Hampshire Democrats website using three seperate sock puppets in a
blog room to direct the conversation. Hillary can't take a followup
question, or answer any off the cuff question, this has been my
problem with her for years. That is why they started the "vast right
wing conspiracy" story, it protects them from any unscripted
questions, it has been a very successful ploy but it is wearing
thin.. I would take any of the dems, except Dodd, over Hillary any
day. Dodd has done nothing, absolutly nothing for the working man in
CT for 26 years but he is another story...

Not in the least. I was responding to JAFM's remark that he wanted a
president that didn't simply "dismiss" people who disagreed with him
or her. Since the current president orders his critics removed to
"free speech zones" and according the the American Conservative
magazine
even allows the local police to arrest them, I guess JAFM and I are on
the same page- neither of us want a president that stifles reasonable
dissent or simply ignores and dismisses opposing viewpoints. We might
even agree that in America the "Free Speech Zone" is everywhere the
Constitution is in effect.

"Hillary's crowd" can't really do the same thing. Take the case of
the guy in the American Conservative magazine article that was holding
an anti-Bush picket sign. The police told him to move to a particular
area, and after he had been there a minute or two the cops told him he
"wasn't in the free speech zone" (no kidding!) and he would have to
move. According to the magazine article, no matter where one cop told
him he could stand and hold his sign, another cop would come along and
tell him he wasn't in the "free speech zone" and he would have to move
again. Finally, he was arrested for "violating the security zone
surrounding the president"--but by all accounts he was about 200 yards
away. (lots of people were much closer to the president, but they were
expressing "acceptable" thoughts) The poor guy was denied a jury trial
because some judge down south said it was a "minor charge".......a
minor charge that could put the poor guy in prison for several years
if the judge decides he's guilty.

There's no "security zone" that extends for hundreds of yards around
candidates for POTUS, so no- Hillary couldn't do exactly the same
thing.

One good thing, maybe, about next year's election; so far there isn't
an absolutely outstanding candidate on either side. Maybe that will
help depolarize the country......no matter who we pick from the
current crop we're in tough shape. (Some of the R's look better to me
than some of the D's). The people will have to pull together to solve
common problems, rather than idolize some extremist demagogue on the
left or the right......(I hope).

That's far too metaphysical for 7:00 AM.

I'll go along with your comments since they imply that propounding my
viewpoint, although perhaps not completely fair and balanced, *will* lead
someone to the correct choice.

And, good morning to you, sir. I've been playing with my camera. I haven't
figured out how to view a NEF (RAW) file with Irfanview, although Adobe
seems to handle it. I may go see if there are any free updates to
IrfanView.

If there is not a RAW add in for InfanView, Picasso does view RAW and is
also free. You can also download a NEF Viewer from Microsoft so you
will be able to view them in "My Pictures".

That's too bad. He's probably the only candidate who's suggested using the
bully pulpit to ask Americans to make sacrifices in order to reduce our
dependence on oil. All the rest are pussies in this regard.

You or someone else will now say that McCain wants to "control what you
buy", but that's bull****.

What cracks me up is the MSM pushing Huckabee and McCain, all they
want is to have the weakest candidate run against Hillary, they have
zero credibility.. And they complain about FOX because they allow both
sides a pulpit...

I don't see where the MSM is pushing Huck or McCain. Huckabee has built
up quite a bit of strength in the Iowa polling, and we'll see how that
translates on caucus day. I read where he was also doing well in one of
the Carolinas. Apparently he does well among the simple-minded religious
fundamentalist Republicans. He can have them, all of them.

If he is the GOP nominee, he will be slaughtered by either Hillary or
Obama.

I like McCain because unlike *all* the other GOP wannabe's, he has some
national experience, understands foreign policy, and is opposed to
torture. The rest of the GOP pack knows no more about foreign policy
than I do, and that is a scary proposition.

Of course, Americans seem to like foreign-policy idiots in the White
House. We have one there now. Bush knew nothing about foreign policy
when he got into office and now, after nearly seven years, it is obvious
he still knows nothing.

Is that a problem?

I think they are just trying to whip up some interest and get people
to watch this train wreck


After the CNN, PBS debate debacle there should really be no doubt that
they along with MSNBC are actively trying to elect a democrat in 2008
(should I tell you her name?) and with that, supporting a weak
republican would fall right in line. The Clintons are known for their
thousands of lawyers and investigators and more likely feel they have
enough dirt and controversy on him to sink a presidential bid, I am
sure the media outlets I noted plus most others were in on the
meeting;)

Jeez, where do you get this stuff? I mean, it is wilder and woollier

Oh, by the way, *all* the Republicans seeking the nomination are "weak."
There isn't a winner in the entire bunch. Crazies, religious fruitcakes,
nearly deads, one-trick ponies, crooks, and flip-floppers. The only
decent guy in the bunch is McCain.

Good to hear you're watching something besides the major, liberal media,

This is certainly going to be another election where the winner gets
42-43% (but that was how Bill got in).
Dodd pointed out in one of the early debates that more than half of
the people polled say they could not vote for Hillary under any
circumstance and she is the strongest candidate on either side.
Pretty sad


As long as we don't get another Clinton presidency, I don't think our
intellignece and military services could take another stripping, and
we certainly don't want to sell any more of our missle and nuke
technology to them for a few million in late campaign contributions
like last time..

What are you talking about? Hillary is the toughest guy running.

As for stripping down the military, Bush has been doing precisely that
for the last seven years.
