I'm voting for McCain....

[Leilani Garden]

I blame the Democrats, they are the ones that tremendously supported the bail out in the House.

(Not that the Republicans in the Senate aren't guilty of the same.)

But those are different topics. I was asking you to check out the qualifications for medicaid, not talking about the bail out thing.

Are democrats to blame for health care and insurance costs? How so? Or did you not mean that? Not sure from your post.

Powell tried to talk them out of invading Iraq, but he says that it became clear that it was going to happen. He was also given questionable evidence of nuclear stuff in Iraq, but he was told it was solid intel. I think he was lied to and deceived by Bush and Cheney and bad intel. When he gave his UN speech, I got the impression that he completely believed everything he said. But...garbage in, garbage out. Had he not believed what he said, he would not have been so convincing, and had he not been so convincing, things might have been different.

I forgive him for being lied to, personally. I forgave him for that a while ago. He was used as a PR tool. If I were him, I'd deeply resent that, and maybe he does. I would not complain a bit if he were chosen as Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense. That'd show Obama is willing to have strong people with differing views in his cabinet, since Powell is a Republican, albeit a centrist.

As endorsements go, this was a solid gain for Obama and a solid loss for McCain.

Dang, I'm really trying to get off this site for the day . . . .

But.

Did you really find Powell's words on the floor of the UN convincing? I dunno. In retrospect, playing Monday Morning Quarterback, I didn't. He seemed to have been fumbling.

Also, the outright disregard for the Iraqi rep who was begging for more searches, etc. Powell did not address that.

Still, though, I agree with you. I'd love to see Powell back as Sec of State. But I want him to come clean. I want him to come right out and say he was wrong, even if it means "only" admitting to being used and manipulated. I'll take that.

Agree with comments re Obama if he does appoint Powell somewhere in the cabinet.

ask not what youre country can do for you .... but what u can do for your county...jfk

We must as citizen of the U.S. .... remember that we have a political obligation to this country' The greeks have understood this for thoousand of years... once we are born we enter this "social contract" between individual and state....
For the laws and gov have raised us like a parent....giving us education, rights, and protection from evils.... once we have reached a point of adulthood we have the choice to void this contract by moving into a different state....
you see individuals are weak....but nations are strong..... we as citizen need to alienate ourselves and join together as a nation of one..... for the benefit of our whole society..... im just getting started here.....

i dont know he debate at hand but im ready...lol.....

you can get all the people to agree some of the time....
you can get some of the people to agree all the time....
but you can never get all of the peoplr to agree all of the time...... abraham lincoln....

im off to class....laterz....

I'll smoke to that!!

...keep it up guys. reading this thread is like having my finger on the political pulse of the country.

i'm grateful for that.. thanks!!

[TheBrutalTruth]

Yup.

Is that info for MediCARE or MediCAID?

Just wondering.

I missed Ms. Palin on SNL last night. I just don't watch tv that much. I'll have to catch it on You Tube, I guess.

Any comments on Powell's endorsement of Obama?

I've been waiting for Powell to redeem himself to me for years, ever since he left office. I want him to come clean about the lies told on the floor of the UN. I know that he has and feels a duty to be loyal to his commander in chief, but I'm disgusted by this whole thing. If Powell knew it was all lies re Saddam's INability to build a nuclear bomb, and that the Iraqi UN rep was begging for more time to allow UN inspectors in, then that trumps the loyaly to the commander in chief. To defend him on that one would be about the same as defending the guys at the My Lai Massacre, who all just went along with it.

But whatever the case, I'll take Powell's endorsement. I do think he put a lot of thought into it. FWIW, I used to have a lot of respect for Powell, and when Bush first "won" in 2000, I was delighted to hear that Powell was secretary of state.

In case anyone's not seen the article yet, here it is, along with some quotes from Powell on his respect for McCain, along with his misgivings. Note how Powell brings up McCain's inexperience with the economy. Very good points. Note also that Powell gives credit where credit is due re McCain.

He's a well spoken man. He just screwed us all when he went along with that bullshit at the UN. I'm still waiting for that expose from him.

So, Brutal, was that MediCARE or MediCAID? Just curious.

Vi? What's so bad about being old? What was that? You do not hide boners? Well, why should ANYONE, regardless of age, have to? Remember now, I"m a flaming liberal! Equal opportunity for all, regardless of all that stuff . . . including age!

Comments re my chewing you about the liberal media? Nothing? Not one word for me? I'm going go to my room now so I can go cry. You've hurt my feelings. xoxoxoxo

Later all.

Powell endorses Obama as 'transformational' - Yahoo! News

Medicaid.

I wasn't even able to begin to understand the listed Medicare Requirements.

Very... disorganized and confusing. Of course, Medicare has been getting slowly expanded providing job security for the bureaucrats.

 

[Leilani Garden]

Hey Brutal, that's probably the fault of the liberals, right? I know my head is hung in shame over that medicare bullshit. I feel just terrible about it.

Lol, I have to admit that I find it funny, and a bit disturbing at the same time.

 

[Leilani Garden]

Oh, you find it disturbing, do you? Why's that? 'Cause you think that is what we're all about? I bet. You Ann Coulter-loving thing, you.

Gotta run. I just realized I missed Bill Maher and I have to go see if I can get HBO on demand to at least let me see some of the episodes I"ve missed as of late.

Disturbing, huh? Tell me with honesty why it's disturbing? Surely, from all you've posted on this thread that your misgivings, it cannot be because you think it's a nutty spoof, with not a shred of truth?

Gotta run. Pizza's done, I have to plan my sodomy fest tomorrow. PLUS, I'm working on manipulating the young to become gay . . . just like me (I'm a lesbian, btw, ha ha).

Night!

Tips? Speaking of Good Night? WTF are you? I leave for a few days, and you let this thread go? Thanks. Just thanks so much. (You big lesbian, you!)

Edited to add this link. Read it. Feel the hatred. And the poor baby bear. WTF did s/he do to deserve such an untimely and cruel death? You gotta love those flaming conservatives. And here, I thought I was such a renegade, stealing McC/Palin signs to prevent my children from seeing such filth in a "family" neighborhood?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081021/ap_on_el_pr/obama_dead_bear

CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials were investigating the discovery early Monday of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs.
Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said Monday night that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the school's administration building at the entrance to campus. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bear's head, Tvedt said.
The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said.

Keep gazing into the abyss, folks. It'll come right back at you. Even you win and McCain is elected, you really think this crap is over? All sunny skies ahead? R-i-g-h-t. Wing.Conservatives.

Night Tips!

good night LG..........

 

[Leilani Garden]

All you guys do.

You know what, though? With all I've heard about women, just in general, that's why I switched and "turned" into a lesbian. Hell, with all that nonsense, I would not date a woman either. No way.

Oh wait. Let me clarify. I would not date a heterosexual woman. Now, we lesbians, with our liberal agenda? We be so cool. And that's why you guys love us.

Okay, enough clowning around. Did you check out the article on what some hate-filled bastard/s did to a baby bear, all to make their "point"? Pretty sick, eh? Does it make you shake a little bit in your boots (lesbian, lumber jack Timberlands, btw) to know that they are people out there, right here, who will do such things?

How disgusting.

Tips? No kiss? FU2 <<smooch, baby, smooch>>

 

[tipsgnob]

you really can't shut up, can you?

 

[Leilani Garden]

Well, you keep baiting me.

And really. I did shut up for days, and this thread died? What? You want me to let Diane take over her own thread again and start copy/pasting the crap she finds online, but is unable to articulate in her OWN words?

You suck, Tips.

edited to add: you all just watch. Tips'll be back with some mean and foul mouthed insult for me. I know it. I'm not feeling the love. And on that note? Tips still needs a facial badly. See the jar at the door by the lobby here at RIU? That's for donations to send Tips to the Liberal Spa (next to the upscale coffee shop) to get a facial.

And that makes me think I need to get the web cam going and change my signature to something like . . . Oh, I dunno. Maybe take a macro shot of my own . . ..

Oh, you so sick, Tips. U so sick, you liberal moron! oxoxoxo

[Leilani Garden]

See? I told ya'll. Tips loves to bait me.

And get this! We live next door to each other! Tips does not EVEN need to bait me online, since our front doors are, what? Ten feet from each other?

Please. Liberals. Let's kill them all and stick them on the pizza.

Tips? What time are we going to bed tonight? Am I on the right side of the bed, or are you?

WHAT ABOUT THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE BABY BEAR SHOT TO DEATH?

You know, we're sick, Tips, we liberals. All for killing babies, burning flags, stomping the graves of dead veterans, etc, ad naseum, but come on, the baby bear? I don't know how wasted you are tonight (I'll come over after I post this to check on your wastedness scale), but do check that out.

And still. No kiss? You are so mean.

Love,

LG

fuck the baby bear...2 of my children were eaten by bears.....
I'm wasted...but if your coming over don't forget to bring those legs..
no public display of affection.....

 

[Leilani Garden]

You're right. No public displays of my legs. How 'bout my ass instead? LOLOLOLOL

I could do it; I could. But I'm a selfish, liberal bitch, and I want to be PAID for pics of my ass. Just ask Spitzer. He found out the hard way, via the GOD DAMNED patriot act, that private stuff is no longer private.

Thank heavens that I'm not the governor of my state. What with all my sins, I might be found out, and then it'd all be over . . . including my real, liberal agenda: raising good citizens. (Well, that, and trying to have a good time, despite all the bullshit shoveled in my direction . . . but is for later, Tips. Are you in bed NOW? I'm not ready! I have to do a mask, take a bath, douche, all that stuff that we liberal lesbians do).

WTF were we?

Oh yeah. The dead bear. And your dead babies.

I have dead babies too.

What's on the music agenda tonight? Me? OH fuck me, man, Alanis and the Jagged Little Pill! I HATE MEN! Which is why Tips loves me so much.

What time, honey?

Back on track here. AGAIN.

WHAT ABOUT THE BABY BEAR?

Is everyone here, posting on this thread with any seriousness at all, aware that NC, Virginia and Colorado are now considered swing states? Anyone know how bizarro this is? How much could they--republicans--have screwed up that they've got rednecks and gun-loving maniacs in THOSE states thinking, not once, not twice, but even three times?

And where are all the conservatives now that the Dow is riding a roller coaster? And all the four-oh-one-kays have tanked?

WHERE ARE THEY?

I'll tell you where they are. They're at the Liberal Upscale Salon, having the mud removed from their collective faces, that's where.

Now, if I could get it off my face, I'd feel so much better. No, wait. I have. I've got a good mud mask on right now, to be followed by a stem-cell embryonic cell regeneration mask. And I look JUST like Tips.

We ARE still going trick-or-treating together, right? I"m leaving my legs at home, since they are broken right now.

(How much do you have to mess with me, Tips, to get this shit to come rolling off my keyboard? You know I hate men, right? WHY do you do this to me?)

(Yes, I'm aware that sounds cryptic. But you know what? I do not hate men, never. What I abhor is folks who take advantage of those who are under the gun and just going for the blood. I've had that happen yesterday and today. I'm ever so sorry if that is bleeding into this thread.)

Now. Where is everyone? We've had some very good posts on this tread, as well as some very provocative ones. Where are those folks? Where is Cheese? Vi? Hello? No refutation of my take on the myth of the liberal media? Stoney Mc Fried? Come on. Where are you guys? This election is probably the most contentious in our lifetimes. GET BACK HERE.

Love you Tips. You weirdo. Be right over. Pour a glass of Johnny Walker Black and fill the pipe (I lost mine--it was confiscated by the gift-giver . . . Indian giver).

And still, no kiss from Tips? You so mean.

I have no idea how this reads, due to my own wasted state of mind right now. Disclaimer being issued now, before I get blasted. ha ha hahahah

Edited to add? WHAT? You want to watch me fuck a baby bear? Now, that's just rude.

Seriously, though, you don't agree with me that that is just plain sick? I mean, I know I'm sick. I'm really a messed up individual (and the fascist powers are not yet able to take my children away from me, woo hoo!). But, come on, no real comment on the baby bear shot to death in NC, and then covered with Obama signs? You disappoint me every day, Tips. But this? I was expecting you be disgusted--actually, I was expecting you to be jointly disgusted WITH me over this.

Now, I am thinking I'll get rid of my legs in the signature. No, not my ass. you have to pay to see that. How about my dead pumpkins? The jack-o-lanterns? OR! Better! How about my left tit? I sometimes think I'd give that up just see this country out of the grips of these fascist freaks. So? Left tit? You want? LOLOLL
CUT IT OUT! STOP TALKING TO ME. I have to be up early in the morning to keep on the bullshit treadmill.

I"ll be right over. Fill the pipe. Get me some Johnny Walker Black in a snifter. And we can discuss the Patriot Act, Spitzer, and how about, lol, those righteous republicans and their dalliances with the congressional pages? Whaddya say?

My mask is now off and my skin looks way better than yours. Now, let's just check out your legs and everything else? Deal?

Who'd have thunk it.

No, sickening, because it dehumanizes liberals.

Now, if we're going to dehumanize people, we can start with politicians, and not just Obama and McCain, but almost every single politician out there. Then we can move on to Federal Reserve Bankers.

Those people need to be dehumanized and exposed for the corrupt monsters they are.


And I think I'm going to leave you and tips to yourselves... this thread is getting too weird for me.
