What Republican could have beaten Obama
given 8 years of Bush and the amount of money
Obama had?

It was time. And timing is often the deciding factor.
The economy cratering was huge and McCain could
not do a thing about it. No Republican could.

Colin Powell perhaps could have given Obama a run for his money....

Colin Powell had no desire to run for president.
He made that clear a while back.
But I agree if he had.
Although he would have had more problems exciting
a Republican base than McCain.

Well then get a phucking job.

I have one.

Then why the hell are you on welfare?

I'm not on welfare. In fact I'm working my ass off to pay my way through Law school.

But you put a pretty offensive label on a celebrating crowd, that I would have been a part of if I could, without having anything but the way they look to back it up.

Well i guess we better tell the state of Washington that.

What I think is the ironic part about people who defend the media as not having a liberal slant is they ignore the fact that many of the individuals who are part of that same liberal media are not afraid to say they are liberals and are damn proud of it.

Things are cool Hossy. I guess I got carried away with my Katrina analogy, which was done in very poor taste. I hope everyone understands that as well. :)

You posted an article from July 2007. What was final outcome of the criminal charges on that? How many false votes were fraudulently cast from those false registrations?

No problem Ed. The only point I was trying to make is let's get abled bodied americans working again and off welfare. Good luck with law school I may need a good lawyer someday! Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks. :)

Misunderstanding by me too, sorry about that.

phew....that was a close one...thought for a second there that things were going to get outta control.....was almost ready to have Mommy Dearest step in with a "Be Nice"

I'm finding with age, that sometimes it's better off for me just to keep my mouth shut. I hope the man becomes a great president.

What difference does it make that it was last July. You said that it wasnt a crime. It obviously is.

International incident averted

fpsoxfan, I think they have been tightening up on the welfare system, I may be wrong.
Many people like to throw welfare out as the big problem, I don't think it ias bad as the SSI, mental disability system. Many, many able bodied young Americans are getting set up for SSI for the rest of their lives. Able bodied, and no more mentally ill than the average burnout. I know mental illness, I've worked with the mentally ill all of my life. There certainly are a lot of people who are mentally disabled and can't really keep a job in society. But, what I'm seeing is a very large % of the newer SSI recipients not mentally ill in the traditional sense(before the drug companies had a new pill for every emotional imperfection), they are low functioning, undisciplined, unmotivated and,dare I say it, lazy. And here where I live, they're all white.
What ever happened to shame?

in the democrat primary? the man is not a Republican

wasn't he at one time???
