If Palin runs for President in 2012, at least she has name recognition going for her… but, at this point, that may or may not work in her favor

Richard #270 – Yes your are correct, in a way – the same has held true for the most part in the prior years – the other way. None has served the people well and to beat up on the so-called demons for a moment – they could have done more in the last 8 years and certainly the last 2 years – but did not. Instead voted on things and when it went wrong point fingers saying they were mislead – wait i hear the violins playing.

The richest people in the house and senate are democrats and the top 3 are women. All the fortunes have been made off the sweat and backs of the poor and working folks.

Why don’t they just be honest and call themselves the New Socialists Party of America – instead of working under the false representation of the Democratic party – oh because that’s the only way they can stay in power – darn that power thing again.

Vote for me free beer – a chicken in every pot and a gallon of gas.

I’ve seen people bring up Democrats control of Congress in this election several times, and I’m a bit confused. For one, it’s only been the last two years, am I correct? Hard to compare to 8 years of the Bush administration. More than this, however, is the level of control. A one seat majority in the Senate, and little better in the House, meaning that Democrats were kept in check by Republican filibuster. It seems to me less like “control” and more like a deadlock. It also seems to me that, even with a likely better democratic majority after this election, we’d still see a deadlock with a republican president. I can’t see this as a good thing with the current state of our nation.

Well John – having read your comments it has become obvious that you are arrogant and rude. You call people stupid when they don’t agree with you. Well it’s not a problem – I can go elsewhere, and I will.

Barry has apparently not learned one of the oldest lessons of the Internet: namely, if you are going to deliver a ringing exit line and then flounce off in a huff, you need to actually flounce off, or people will rightly conclude you are not only dishonest, but you’re so weak-willed that you cannot actually bring yourself to leave an Internet discussion.

Barry: in other words, having declared that you’re going elsewhere, sticking around to make repeated comments makes it clear that all you want is attention. Sort of like the disgruntled little kid who grabs his teddy bear, announces he’s running away from home, and then stands at the front door shouting “I’m REALLY running away THIS TIME!” every ten minutes in the hopes that Mommy will rush over to talk him out of it.

Andrew 252: Oh, me too, ordinarily. In fact I have a little Notepad file with HTML tags for various purposes, and it has em and strong instead of i and b. I still use i when I want italics and don’t care what the website is using for emphasis (see how wicked I am?).

Mark 264: Dude! He was elected to the Senate because his oponent couldn’t be satisfied by sex with 7 of friggen 9 every night.

First of all, Obama was winning that election anyway. People were already saying “first black POTUS” about him before he was elected to the Senate, if you recall.

And second, Jack Ryan (Jeri’s creepy ex, not the Harrison Ford character of the same name) was perfectly happy to have sex with Jeri Ryan…he just wanted other people to see him do it (typically for Republican politicians, he wasn’t satisfied with something good unless he could show it off to people who didn’t have it), and kept tricking her into going into sex clubs with him. She would cry and leave, and he’d apologize and do it again.

So: his opponent was a total scumbag, and after HE dropped out, the Republicans brought in this wacko who couldn’t get elected dogcatcher, despite running for everything in sight every time he could. Yeah.

But everyone who ever ran against Jesse Helms was running against a total scumbag, and John Kerry and Al Gore were running against a total wacko, and they all lost. So Obama must have more talent than you think.

I think Krissy might get a veto on that one.

I don’t know. Let me spend some time with Jeri Ryan and get back to you on that one.

“He’s not where he is now because he got lucky.” Dude! He was elected to the Senate because his oponent couldn’t be satisfied by sex with 7 of friggen 9 every night. What are the odds?
