It’s a pretty damning indictment….talk about a carpetbagger.

Re Republicans and Dole. I loathed Jesse Helms but his office staff always had excellent constituent services…even if he knew you were a political arch enemy.

Have heard several diehard Repubs complain bitterly that they cannot get even the barest response from Dole on any issue.

Obama successfully rode and channeled a wave that was there for him to ride. His actual operation is still highly controlled from the center by a small band of Washington elites, and his policy choices under pressure reflect this (softer foreign policy imperialism, FISA, backing the Paulson plan to the hilt, rejecting mortgage and bankruptcy reform from the bill).

Political messianism leads to less, not more, freedom.

President Obama understands human nature. That fact has brought us to this point.

Still Ain’t Satisfied

http://maggiesmetawatershed.bl…..tches.html

Oh they’ve got women on TV
But I still ain’t satisfied
Cause cooptation’s all I see
And I still ain’t satisfied

They call me Ms
They sell me blue jeans
Call it “Women’s Lib”
Make it sound obscene
And I still ain’t — woa, they lied
Cause I still ain’t — woa, they lied
Still ain’t satisified.

I keep thinkin’ there’s some mistake
I still ain’t satisfied
Cause every minute a woman gets raped
I still ain’t satisfied

They say okay, put in a street light
But they lock us down, down, down
When we learn to street fight
And I still ain’t — woa, they lied
Cause I still ain’t — woa, they lied
Still ain’t satisified.

Kudos, on earlier(?) comment of yours on one-a these dang threads, to some guy who beg to differ & therefore triple-dice nuances when voting this time around. Obama ain’t far enuf left to suit the particularities of the fella’s grand scheme in hisown grand noggin.

Good gawd. At a time like this??? Are people like that bein’ snarky, or flat-out disconnected and crazy?!

I would have broken my monitor if I’d been on duty when that comment flew in through the pebbleglass tilt-windows. Thank you for taking that one and, I gather, others lately that the rest of us miss.

You’re a special guy, albeit with a tad too much self control. My inner child make-believe chopped a few people across the shins today. For shame: ANYONE who incites violence EVER. And the same goes to any who would quibble and throw away their vote at a time like this.

Mygawd. We live within 1/2 hr. of Strongsville. If they don’t have any more sense than shown in the yootoob clips floating around, I’m mortally embarrassed for them, for they’re idiots, pure & simple. I can’t even remember where the other clips of rowdy pseudotuffguys & their wimmen came from. PA? FL?

Fwiw, I kinda suspect some of the fruitloops outside the venue in Stgsville might have flown in from some random space-cadet colony. They were coached, big time.

Cindy? What can I say?! I hope she breaks out head-to-perfectly-manicured-toe in big ugly green warts. She and Sarah were U.G.L.Y. today. Stay tuned for judge ruling from AK tomorrow.

Keith & Rachel were terrific tonight. Suggest re-runs might make you feel a bit better. The Cainglass ain’t half full nor half empty nor just cracked. It’s shattering before our eyes.

Stay safe AND SANE, everyone.

Try to breathe, Raven. Some of us won’t be able to exhale completely for some time yet. We’ll just have to cope. I can’t take many more awful elections like this.

Yes, I know this is a big jumble AND EPU’d. So what. Maybe you’ll even see it. Rest up when you can, Raven, and may your favorite sports teams win big! ;->

Even Republicans have a bee in their bonnet about Dole rarely showing her face in NC except to fund raise. All the ad would have to do is have some group of people talking and say in regard to the subject at hand, “she’s not from around here is she?” That would resonate with every North Carolinian, Dem, and Repub, that I know. It would bring it home for Kay Hagan.

jane has created quite a force here hasn’t she

We dealt with it here at FDL when Ciro Rodriguez lost his special congressional election in Texas, but that’s just one of many examples. People were afraid to hope. Fortunately, they were more afraid not to.

We dealt with it when Holy Joe won. I hope Ned runs again. I hope the Lake is ready to support him again!
