Get over it and either back him or come out of the closet and state who you are really backing.

…and if you dont mind Wading in my Honey bucket for a moment…Wade!, I wouldnt put my support behind any one of these clowns. i just may, come crunch time, find an industrial size clothes pin big enough to help me to vote for the Republican ( as i always do) this time, but if El Presidente Juan McCain doesnt come through in his first 100 days, proving he made major league mistakes his last 8 years, i will regret i did so. These…so called “republicans” haven’t any balls anymore. YOU DONT LET Chris Dodd (and that creep of a human being Chuck E. Schumer- who should be selling used cars)say what he said today on Fox (regarding Obamas Pastor of 20 years) and let him get away with it! YOU DONT!. You fight it until you lose your job and GET HIM!. Now I love Chris Wallace, he’s the best, and he did the best job HE could do, i applaud him. But the Republicans have simply lost their backbones, they gave them up for power, to keep their jobs. and this…THIS! is why i say…we will LOSE in 08.And “we” deserve it.

It was Lincoln.

Actually, it’s most often attributed to Twain, although it is attributed to Lincoln as well.

here are other hats, there are other glasses, he’s under a tent, its a SERIOUS presidential campaign. we live in a country where you can “make it or break it” by what color ribbon you where on your chest. i dont like it, but it is what it is. Fred Thompson wouldnt take a photo with fireman while wearing a fireman’s helmet. dont make the mistake that the libs think the way you do.

I think whatever he wore you would piss and moan about it. Get over it and either back him or come out of the closet and state who you are really backing. Other than that your post belongs in the ‘Honey Wagon/Bucket’ and others are correct you are a troll.

Wade on March 16, 2008 at 11:53 AM

others? geez, was “dustoffMom” your mother Wade? you’re mad Wade because i disagreed with your Mommy? Grow up Wade…its time to be a man.

So, what i said about McCain making a mistake wearing the hat (and it is a well known “hat rule” in politics, i didnt make it up, im just commenting on it) why does the meaning of what i said about that (or anything else)change, when YOU hear “who im backing”? how immature is that? why cant you take my word, as my opinion? do you need ammunition to combat me? do you need to see my post count? to compare it to yours and THEN make a decision on my credibility? the only people on chat groups that call out others as “trolls” are ones that are lost for words, hiding behind their monitors trying to act tough where otherwise in real life…they cant. they like to feel they are superior for a moment in their lives. Ive seen it for decades Wade, you’re not a “new species” as “a crapolla” says (see i can be childish and make fun of your name too huh? isnt it silly? oh no, its only silly when i do it…right?). Be a man Wade…have some balls and talk to me about the topic instead of calling me school yard names, or shut the hell up.

No tiki, no laundry.

I recall that as a Mark Twain quote. It seems very cynical for Lincoln, but it’s perfect Twain.

No, her skin isn’t too thin. I suspect she has seen your type before and chooses to do what others will eventually do when you post on a thread. Just leave it. You aren’t a new species.

Alphie has a point. You, sir, on the other hand, are merely blowing spittle. Please cease and desist.

Long term military strength depends on long term economic strength, DO Mom.

Your brain is swollen, Olde man!

Gentlemen, alphie’s presentation makes the only sense, here. Without the means there are no jeans [blue that is].

Do you olde dumbe’s get it yet…?
HoooAaah…!
Olde soldier sends…!

Most of us private sector workers don’t think of Social Security as a “problem” swollen.

We think of it as our retirement that we’ve been paying for our entire adult lives.

Remember that when McCain starts talking about 100 years of elective war in Iraq…we can’t all marry rich when we reach retirement age like he did.

alphie on March 16, 2008 at 6:35 PM

I view it as a problem that in the future I’m going to have to put a lot more money into Social Security than my parents did in order to support the swelling number of retirees coming off the Baby Boom. If the government left the Social Security money alone, it wouldn’t be as much of a problem, but they spend it more irresponsibly than the private sector would, which means that you aren’t really paying for yourself, but rather the generation older than you. And it would have been cheaper, for us and them, to let them pay for themselves.

We think of it as our retirement that we’ve been paying for our entire adult lives.

Call us when the Congressfolk decide to attack the entitlement fiasco.

SS Medicare, Medicaid.

The Big Stuff…

Everything else is kid stuff.

As Democratic Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton battle — and tarnish — each other in their increasingly-bitter struggle for the Democratic party’s Presidential nomination, virtually-certain Republican nominee John McCain mad…

Those who bitch about the economy are to dang lazy to get off their lard butts and do something about it. I have been working for 34 years – started at eight years old driving a fuel truck on the family farm and worked my way through college and am now an experienced engineer. Now the economy has a little burp and people friggin panic – go back to 1976-1980 days folks – that was real pain. I worked day and night with my father patching together tractors so we could get a few more years out of our equipment – anybody else but McCain promises a return to those crappy days. All those Rinos out there who are threatening to stay home this election have to have their brain examined – God help us if Hillary or Obama get in.

The Chinese aren’t going to give the Pentagon a limitless credit line to buy expensive toys forever…especially now that the PLA is on the move in Asia themselves.

STAY HOME ‘08

Really, it’s gonna be great getting to visit our men in Leavenworth, and we will remember that it’s folks like you who helped make it happen.

funky chicken on March 16, 2008 at 1:15 PM

Thank me for what? I’m not voting for Barack Obama, and have no intention on doing so!

It’s Iraq the economy stupid.

MB4 on March 16, 2008 at 3:07 PM

I disagree. At the end of the day it is national/self security. Who will keep me and my family safe overrides anything else.

Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumbe…?

Let’s get on both sides of this issue up front to cover our sorry asses, so the ignorant masses can’t blame us if we’re both wrong…?

“High fivers…!” Ben
“H&K’s…!” GW

Actually “alphie” it’s considerably worse than what you’ve surmised… How about…
12 billion a week [that’s with a Bee] spent in Iraq.
When you do the arithmetic it comes to…

640 billion that’s 60 percent of a trillion [that’s with a Tee] per year to be spent in Iraq!

Like Senator Dirksen from Illinois used to say… “A million here and a billion there and pretty soon you’re talking about real money”

Have you checked your 401K or your IRA, year to date losses?
What’s it down… 11 to 14 percent? In would appear we maybe in for more than just a little rock and roll with these financial geniuses’ leading the band…!

MB4 on March 16, 2008 at 3:07 PM

What post am I reading?

“took some time off of the campaign trail”

Actually, I’d say this was an attempt at one of the most high profile campaign trails stops he’s tried in a while. And I applaud him for it. I hope he keeps talking about Iraq and keeping it in the face of the press every day from now until November.

And who got everyone into those loans and hence all that debt? People have noone to blame but themselves, and the Democrats (and specific Republicans between 2004 & 2006)

Both the gamblers who can’t pay their loans and the gamblers who loaned them the money are to blame as far as I am concerned, but you don’t really think that they will blame themselves do you?

, who determined that entitlements & domestic programs unrelated to our Constitution, like the Departments of Education, Labor, Health & Human Services, etc. (Don’t forget such things as Bush’s big prescription drugs for seniors and all the hundreds of billions we are spending on Iraq which has a very low benefit to cost ratio to our own defense.), were more important than focusing on those that are related, like Defense, Immigration, etc.

To which I say, Boo Frickin’ Hoo.
