you mean like the one he had with Joe the Plumber? Playoff system? how does that spread the wealth around? Shouldn’t we give every team a trophy for “trying”? that is what we do in our schools now. Six valedictorians is hardly enough!

It is time for a new guard.

Fight! Fight! Fight! – Win!

No to unjust death! Yes to life!

No to tyranny! Yes to liberty!

No to oppressive taxation! Yes to property and pursuit of happiness!

Fight! Fight! Fight! – Win!

Oh, pish posh. Put some steel in your backbone. This day is ours.

Mellow out Manly . . . I’m on your side. I was just reminding everyone of the most putrid and undesirable outcome. Trust me, there’s plenty of steel in my backbone.

I still think the level of lies, deception, & hate from the left increased dramatically in the early 90s & has not abated.

Steel yourselves for the transformation of a once great Republic into a Marxist/socialist regime. If you think this country was divided before, just wait until tomorrow morning. The “United States of America” is no more. – rplat on November 4, 2008 at 7:23 AM

We have evolved into two warring camps held apart by only a thin, weak thread of restraint. The country is headed for the abyss and certain disaster. – rplat on November 4, 2008 at 7:57 AM

Not just yet.

IT’s MORNING IN AMERICA once again… McCain WINS! – Mark Garnett on November 4, 2008 at 7:08 AM

Mark Garnett, you are a great American. You put my meager efforts to shame. Thank you, sir.

I’d say it started with the budget battles in the early 90s.

jgapinoy on November 4, 2008 at 7:56 AM

We have always had budget battles and worked them out in the end. The level of acrimony coming from the left began when Gore went back on his concession in 2000. He allowed his partisan democrat handlers to convince him that there was a conspiracy against him. This gave a national voice, and by default, credibility, to the insanity of the moonbat mentality of conspiratorial thinking. Gore may be an honorable man, but he wasn’t a self made man. Had he had one ounce of courage, he would have admitted defeat and thereby denying the crazies the national credibility they had been trying to get since the 60’s. It was because of Gore’s cowardice that the media adopted the conspiracies that Bush lied when he presented the case for the Iraq war and WMD’s. Without that credibility, the issue in Iraq would have centered on the fact that Saddam had violated UN sanctions and irrespective of WMD’s, we were completely justified in going in.

Here is the danger now….because these insane accusations based on mind reading have become acceptable as fact, it gives EVERYONE permission to do so. It wont be too long before some right leaning folks with get together and claim that Obama tried to steal this election by keeping his grandma alive on life support up until the day before election. They then pull her plug at the most opportune time in order to create the impression that God himself has ordained Obama as the next president of the US. This of course is crazy! It may be true, but it requires a level of assumption that cannot be verified. And since it cannot be verified, it should never be used as an accusation. This is the tactic that Gore gave national credibility to and the left has been running with it ever since.

WE, conservatives, CANNOT adopt these ideals. We must stay conservative because the defeat of the socialist movement in America cannot be allowed to gain any further ground. We will put up a serious road block when McCain wins tonight and hopefully these moonbats will finally go the way of the Dodo.

C’mon, Ed! There are good reasons to pick on BHO. He seemed his usual eloquent self to me.

jgapinoy on November 4, 2008 at 7:44 AM

Much as I hate to admit it, I thought he did okay–maybe a little better than normal since he actually did say something of substance about the playoffs. I didn’t count any more “ummmmmms” and “aaaaannnnnnddddds” than usual. He makes me so impatient when he does that, I want to reach into the TV and shake the words out of him.

But again, I’m in a blue-state, so it didn’t matter. I don’t know if it’d have been so easy to pull for Barr if I was in OH, PA, FL, VA, or any of the other 40 states McCain needs to grab…

Ludwig on November 4, 2008 at 7:16 AM

I lived in Florida in 2000, and I voted Brown partly because the polls had told me that Bush was a shoo-in to win the state.

“We need to crack down on steroids” – boilerplate politician answer that will elicit groans from fans tired of steroids.

If it were up to this interview alone, Obama would win like 90% of the country.

csdeven on November 4, 2008 at 7:57 AM

obama got lucky and ran against a man with actual principles right or wrong.

Go McCain/Palin!!

csdeven on November 4, 2008 at 7:51 AM

Well said.

Ed, why are you making excuses for Barry?

redrock on November 4, 2008 at 7:31 AM

I am confused about that as I was when he ragged on Bachmann after her interview with Chrissy. I think Ed, just like my brother, is simply a nice guy who occasionally errs on the side of caution when he should be making a stand.

Kinda like McCain has with Wright. It is incomprehensible to leave the Wright issue on the shelf when your opponent is intent on changing the Supreme Court into a socialist dream come true.
