President Bush uses “the Google.” Nice to know he’s keeping up with technology.

    He claims to use Google Earth to look at his ranch. But his ranch is not clearly identifiable on GE; because, well, it is his ranch, and protected by various codes and statutes. So if he is looking at his ranch via satellite, he must be using an NSA or DoD one, that can easily look down and see just what wood needs to be moved and what brush he will cut next trip down. What a dickwad….

    Roger Rodent: (just for the open thread humor)

    May I suggest getting a life? How many hours a day do you obsessively spend on this site? You’re so pathetic it is really rather entertaining. I can tell that you are a very insecure, angry little man; you lack self-confidence and wit, not to mention I’d bet never very socially accepted or popular with the fairer sex. You desire to be intelligent, and you try very hard; but in the end your delusional rants consist mostly of nothing more than Republican bashing, while offering no ideas or solutions of your own. The long posts of HAR HAR HAR, etc. and living in your childish bunny-world show your desire to be something when your just a nobody as well as your juvenille and immature view on the world. I’d also be seriously willing to bet you’re IQ is somewhere less than 100. They do now have doctors that may be able to treat your condition of complete ignorance and naiveness. Good luck in your quest Rodent. I’ll be on tomorow, when I’m sure there will be a hundred or so posts from you that say a lot, but mean nothing. Grow up Rodent.

    MTR at 21: I was wondering when you were going to bring up the stock market. When it gets to the point where the DJIA is getting at least an 8% average return for each of the six years Bush has been in office, then I will get excited. Until then, it’s still losing money. If this is the Republican’s idea of a good return on investment, they have lost all claim any business common sense.

    By the way, the Saudis decreased production over the weekend, but gas prices fell anyway. In the past prices at the pump would jump within 24 hours of such an announcement, and the oil companies would just say “supply and demand”, and deny there was any collusion. So if the market is currently being governed by supply and demand, why are prices continuing to fall in the face of production cuts? I’ve never before believed in the “oil company conspiracy” theories, but this year is making me a believer.

  24. rhp6033 spews:

    Monday, 10/23/06 at 5:19 pm

    At this rate, gas prices will be below $2.00 sometime on Nov. 6th. But on the morning of Nov. 8th, they will shoot upwards again. The oil companies will argue “supply and demand”, and come up with some excuse about some refinery going down for maintenance or something similar, but if it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk…..

    Bush inherited the CLinton recession, and then we got hit. Because of the tax cuts and having a leader that The People could trust, confidence was restored and it began growing again.

    With kooks in charge who want to raise taxes, it will certainly spin the economy into a slowdown or recession. With dems also being weak on security, we’ll be wide open to attack again. So in 08, The People will elect Republicans again because we’re the only ones with the brains to do the job.

    Clinton recession???? Trust and Confidence in Bush??????

    Please, stop it, it hurts to laugh so much!!!!

    Republican revisionism at work. They haven’t even waited to lose the next election, and they are trying to find a Democrat to blame all their failures upon. Jimmy Carter also inhererited a recession, inflation, budget deficits, ect., but I didn’t see any Republicans arguing that they should have waited two more years for a turn-around in the economy. As for Bush, he inherited a budget surplus and turned it into record deficits over mutliple years in no time flat. So much for fiscal responsiblity!!!!!!

    But seriously, who tell you these things? Surely even you don’t believe that Bush’s economic failures are the fault of Clinton!!! After all, Republicans have been in control of Congress for fourteen years, and the Presidency for six!!!! Where is that vaunted “individual responsiblity” that Republicans claim that they exercise, refusing to blame others for their own mistakes??????

    How’s that? Under Clinton the stock market went up double digits practically every year, and under Bush it has gone up under 2%. Not to mention the Nasdaq is less than 50% of where it got under Clinton’s leadersip. I get a better return off my checking account interest than in dow tracking stocks, and this after Bush cut the dividend tax in half. Just another disaster. As far as gas prices go, everyone with an IQ in double digits know the oil companies control the price of gas, and they are trying to help Republicans, because they can. After the election gas will go straight back up. Wanna bet? Of course the oil companies want Republisleazes to keep control of congress. How else are they gonna get them billions in tax breaks, environmental regulation ignoring, and lowering of fees they pay to drill on federal land to the tune of 12 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!

    Attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Due to the longer length of your November General Election ballot, additional postage is required, 63 cents total.
    Ballots without postage can be dropped off at any polling location on November 7.
    Don’t forget the extra postage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Turn Over for Chinese??????????????????????
    For you folks that don’t or can’t is that two stamps or three????????????????????
    How much does a stamp cost if you do not use the mail service????????????????
    Now if you don’t pay the extra postage will the County pay the extra postage?????????????
    The US Post Office sends all mail to the dead letter office down south, when will the ballot return?????????????
    Did you write your return address on the outside of the envelope, will the post office personnel open it, and does that invalided the ballot??????????????????????
    Does this disenfranchise the poor because they can’t afford the stamp???????????????????????????
    Will they be stamps in the War zone for the military to mail their ballot????????????????????
    First did the ballot show up in time so they can vote this time around??????????????????????
    Now with bad weather will the pony express get the ballots get to county without soaking wet and smudge???????????????????????????????????
    After all the ballots return will they be lost in someone’s in basket and show up on the third recount?????????????
    Folks one thing is for sure 70% of the people in this state believes their ballot will be counted. The present bunches of Socialist Democrats are doing nothing to improved their perspective on this matter. Now that is what happens when you appoint a Governor and not elect one. Now these same folks will cry because they didn’t read the attachment to their ballot extra postage and want another election.

    Justice Susan Owens pulls out of debate
    By RACHEL LA CORTE
    The Associated Press
    OLYMPIA, Wash. – Justice Susan Owens pulled out of the sole state Supreme Court debate on Monday, just hours before she was to face off with state Sen. Stephen Johnson, citing concern that one of the moderators had donated to her opponent’s campaign.
    The Monday debate was sponsored at the College Club in Seattle by the Downtown Seattle Republican Club. Owens’ campaign sent out an e-mail saying that “we do not feel that it will be a level playing field.”
    Enlisted as moderators were Stefan Sharkansky, a conservative blogger for soundpolitics.com, and Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Joel Connelly.
    Sharkansky has endorsed Johnson, a Republican from Kent, and donated $100 to the campaign in May, according to campaign finance records. The P-I has endorsed Owens.

    http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....tt29m.html

    WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott violated federal law by turning over an illegally taped telephone call to reporters nearly a decade ago.
    In a 2-1 opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott violated the rights of House Majority Leader John Boehner, who was heard on the 1996 call involving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
    The court ordered McDermott to pay Boehner more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs.
    McDermott, D-Seattle, leaked a tape to The New York Times and other news organizations

    John Kerry may have won by up to 8 million votes if you go by the exit polls.

    Al Gore won Florida beyond a shadow of a doubt in 2000 also.

    I know it is hard to face reality.

    We both probably agree we should have paper ballots that can be recounted and verified 100%.

    I will make you a deal. We can re-run the Governor’s election in Washington, and the Presidential elecion in Ohio. We will let everyone vote this time and count every vote. Gregoire will win, and so will Kerry.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

    Cultural liberalism focuses on the rights of individuals pertaining to conscience and lifestyle, including such issues as sexual freedom, religious freedom, cognitive freedom, and protection from government intrusion into private life. John Stuart Mill aptly expressed cultural liberalism in his essay “On Liberty,” when he wrote, “The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.” Cultural liberalism generally opposes government regulation of literature, art, academics, gambling, sex, prostitution, abortion, birth control, terminal illness, alcohol, and marijuana and other controlled substances. Most liberals oppose some or all government intervention in these areas. The Netherlands, in this respect, may be the most liberal country in the world today.

    I will make you a deal. We can re-run the Governor’s election in Washington, and the Presidential elecion in Ohio. We will let everyone vote this time and count every vote. Gregoire will win, and so will Kerry.

    If we recounted elimanating the illegal votes and making sure the military got their votes counted Bush would have won by 4 milion and Rossi would have won the first count by at least 10,000 or more. The dems will never get serious about voter fraud because it would cost them too many votes. The fact that they are against a voter ID is all the evidence you need. The facts support may position. hehe

    So 16 spy agencies did not say the Iraq war was fueling terrorism? Gosh, I quit drinking a long time ago. I suggest you lay off the Kool-Aid.

    All those experts must have gotten it wrong.

    I am sure that fewer people hate America now than when Bush took office right?

    Our military is in better shape?

    Go ahead and call me a liberal. I am actually more of a conservative, and a problem solver. Don’t mistake conservative for Jesus Freak though. The American Taliban is not conservative, they are insane.

    I would rather be called a liberal and have all facts support my positions, than have to lie to myself, and support PROVEN liars, cowards, and traitors.

    We may never recover from the damage Bush, and his Republican lap dogs have done to our great nation. The sooner redstate retards figure out they have been duped, lied to, ripped off, abused, and had their children slaughtered in an insane war, the better for us all.

    By the way, Bush never told Cindy Sheehan what the “noble cause” her son died for was…..

    Mr. Facts Have you been in the Middle East? I have and there is nothing you can do to make those folks love you no matter what you say to them. Terrorism has been in that part of the world since the beginning of time and that is how they settle their differences. Today they can export their hatred and fear like oil that runs this country industry. Not pouring gasoline on them will not prevent them from fueling more terrorism. That would be like asking the Mexicans not to swim the Rio Grande and keep their drugs and gangs at home. The one thing you do not understand about killing people they don’t like to show up for the party if they are the one’s dying. Every night they show up to the same spot in Kandahar and they all lost their lives. Many days later they quite showing up could you explain why?

    Dear HA. ORG Democrats, Thank you for your contribution to the DNC. . Each year, tens of thousands of people from across the country make the decision to support the Party and Democratic candidates. Today you stood up and added not only to the Party’s available resources, but to the larger sense of community and civic responsibility that we as Democrats stand for.

    As part of that community, a Democratic donor agreed to match your contribution today. Their information appears below, and you have the opportunity to send a message to the person who is matching you. If you like, you can exchange information and build a longer-lasting relationship — or, you can move on without sending a message at all.

    Again, thank you for your support.

    Your contribution has been matched by:

    A message to you from the person who matched your contribution:
    With Democrats in charge of the Congress, America will run like dogs from Iraq. What a glorious day for jihad that will be! Defeat the infidels. Vote Democratic in ’06! [hehe, JCH]

    That’s true. I’m kind of a middleman for the ideas of people smarter than me.

I’d rather see you suffer a slow and painful death — I know!!! How about if they arrest you as a “suspected terrorist” and pull your fingernails out until you start telling them what they want to hear. Just make shit up as you go along. You’re good at that.

    Bush inherited the CLinton recession, and then we got hit. Because of the tax cuts and having a leader that The People could trust, confidence was restored and it began growing again.

    “We both probably agree we should have paper ballots that can be recounted and verified 100%.” Commentby Facts Support My Positions— 10/23/06@ 9:12 pm

    Actually, we do have paper ballots, and they WERE hand counted and verified 100% — except in Yakima and Snohomish counties, which used paperless electronic voting machines in 2004.

    Although the original count and first recount were performed by Accu-Vote machines, voters in the other 37 counties did vote by marking paper ballots, and those ballots WERE hand counted in the manual recount — twice. Once by a counter appointed by the Democrats, and once by a counter appointed by the Republicans. If their tallies didn’t agree, the count was thrown out and they started over. If it still didn’t agree, that precinct was taken away from them and given to a different counting team.

    Here in King County, every single ballot was counted by at least three different counting teams, and many were counted up to six or seven times. There is no way that count was off by even one vote.

  103. Roger Rabbit spews:

    Monday, 10/23/06 at 11:14 pm

    If the election was stolen in King County, the Republicans have no one to blame except their own observers and counters. But it wasn’t stolen. The GOP claims of election fraud were tested in court, before their hand-picked Republican judge in their hand-picked Republican County, and after spending two weeks in trial and $2 million in legal fees, Rossi had 4 votes of his votes thrown out as fraudulent, Gregoire none.

At the same time, the number of Jewish voters identifying themselves as Republicans has decreased from 18 percent in 2002 to 15 percent in 2006.

    Gee, maybe that whole “Jewish voters will leave the Democratic Party because Joe Lieberman lost the primary” was jsut another GOP crock of shit. Of course it was! As long as the Democratic Party continues to fight for progressive issues that Jewish voters support, such as civil rights, civil liberties, education, the environment, and so on, Jewish voters are going to support the Democratic Party—regardless of the empty rhetoric of the Bush administration on terrorism and Israel.

    — From John William’s Shadow Government Statistics we learn that “The broad outlook for a deepening inflationary recession remains in place. Confirming the extremely bleak employment picture, the August help wanted advertising index dropped to 31, from 32 in July, and from 34 in June. The August level is the lowest reading since April 1961.” I gasp! 1961?

    — “Risks of recession continuing to rise, economy is slowing, showing warning flags” says Will Deener of the Dallas Morning News. He reports that “new-car sales are down about 5 percent from a year ago. This has happened six times over the past 40 years, and in every instance the economy was either lapsing into recession or already in recession.”

    …James Stack, a market historian and editor of InvesTech Research hears us talking about this recession stuff, and adds “Not one recession in the past 50 years was forecast in advance by a major poll of economic forecasters“, but that the inversion of the yield curve did, and that “The yield curve shows an 88 percent probability of a recession beginning sometime between now and the end of next year.“

    I had a chance to sleep overnight, and yet I’m still laughing at MTR’s comment, praising Bush for the DJIA finally rising slightly above Jan. 2001 levels (when Bush took office).

    It occurs to me that we finally see a stock market rally two weeks before the Congressional election, and then only when it becomes clear that the Democrats are going to take back the House of Representatives, and perhaps even the Senate.

    Perhaps the professional money managers think that perhaps it might becoming safe to invest their money in this country again?

    ” You want to make a deference go vote but do not dispose the vote that our soldiers make because you think they are the root cause to your failures. ”

    ——————–

    Klake, I never said the soldiers are the root cause.

    Our foreign policy (which is by the way what “they” say is the problem) is based on one thing, and one thing only. To make the ruling class richer. Doing what it would take to make the “whole” world a better place is out of the question. Greed runs the show. The problem is the fact that there are BILLIONS on this planet that have no hope for the future, and want to do something about the people standing on their heads.

    I have a suggestion Klake. Turn on AM1090. Listen to Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartman, and Ed Schultz for a couple weeks. Once you hear what your Republican Party is actually doing to our country, you will be able to come into the light, and live in the “reality based” world once again.

    I appreciate your service, and your willingness to protect “my” right to voice my opinion. Our troubles are not caused by soldiers, but by their leaders. I wouldn’t actually call Bush a leader……

    Just remember, when Clinton left office respect for America by muslims was at an amazing level. Remember Kosovo? Most muslims would not have a problem with the US and their allies taking a reality based path to reducing islamic and other terrorists with reality based policies, and actions.

    Instead of trying to rid the world of hate filled killers like Al Queda, Bush, and his partners in crime wanted to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent muslims in Iraq.

    The fact that almost every person living on this planet opposed this invasion of Iraq mattered nothing to Bush, and his lying friends.

    The fact that we want to steal their resources, and support their tyrants, is the problem. As far as “they” are concerned, we are the terrorists.

    Get it?

    There are a lot of people living on this planet that don’t want the companies, and powerful sleazebags that running our country running theirs.

    In a Republican’s mind “America” can do no wrong. They haven’t got a clue as to solving problems, because they can’t even see the problem.

    Oct. 23, 2006 – In April, 1975, in an issue mostly taken up with stories about the collapse of the American-backed government of South Vietnam, NEWSWEEK published a small back-page article about a very different kind of disaster. Citing “ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically,” the magazine warned of an impending “drastic decline in food production.” Political disruptions stemming from food shortages could affect “just about every nation on earth.” Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . well, if you had been following the climate-change debates at the time, you’d have known that the threat was: Global COOLING!!!!

    People in the good state of Missouri need photo identification to cash a check, board a plane or apply for food stamps. But the state Supreme Court has ruled that a photo ID requirement to vote is too great a burden on the elderly and the poor. Go figure.

    Public polls consistently show that an overwhelming majority of Americans–regardless of age, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status–favor voter ID laws. And nearly half of the nation’s states have passed them. Yet a string of recent court decisions has blocked their implementation in some places, thus siding with Democrats and liberal special interest groups who would rather turn a blind eye to voter fraud.

    Missouri’s dispute shows what’s at stake and why the laws are under attack. The state passed its new voting requirements in May in response to problems at the polls in 2000 and 2004, and the IDs were made available at no charge. The law was to be implemented over a two-year period, and people who lacked proper identification would be permitted to cast a provisional vote next month.
    Despite these good faith efforts to ensure legitimate ballot access, however, opponents charge that photo ID requirements are overly burdensome and tantamount to a poll tax. The Missouri Democratic Party, which challenged the law, said that while the ID itself is free, the underlying documents–such as a birth certificate–required to obtain the necessary identification cost money. And state judges were sympathetic to the argument.

    In a 6-1 decision striking down the law as a violation of the state constitution, the Missouri Supreme Court said that requiring the “between 3 and 4 percent of Missourians who lack the requisite photo ID” to obtain one for voting purposes “creates a heavy burden on the fundamental right to vote.” How so? “Specific Missouri voters testified that to acquire the requisite photo ID, at the very least they will have to incur the costs associated with birth certificates, which in Missouri costs $15.”

    In his dissenting opinion, Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. took issue with the fact that the majority opinion actually played down the existence of vote fraud. “Although the majority agrees that there is some evidence of voter fraud at the voter registration stage, they discount that evidence as if it had no connection with fraud at the polling place,” wrote Judge Limbaugh. “But why else does voter registration fraud occur if not to vote persons fraudulently registered?”

    But there’s a reason that Democrat partisans are more interested in raising the specter of Jim Crow than in protecting the integrity of the voting process. And here’s a clue: While the Missouri Supreme Court was preparing its decision earlier this month, the Kansas City Star and St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran front-page stories about the thousands of fraudulent voter registrations submitted by Acorn, a national left-wing group financed in part by organized labor.
    According to the Star, Acorn’s voter registration drive generated some 35,000 applications, “but thousands of them appear to be duplicates or contain dubious data.” The report went on to note that “[n]ear the top of the fishy list would be a man named Mark who apparently registered seven times over a three-day period using his mother’s home address and phone number.” Mom told the paper he hadn’t lived there in six years.

    Acorn and its affiliates have been among the most active and vocal opponents of voter ID laws in Missouri and nationwide. Now we know why.

    Our Constitution requires voters to be US citizens. A requirement to prove your citizenship is NOT un-Constitutional. [FYI, a birth certificate will provide that proof, along with a picture ID}

    However, picture ID’s will make it more difficult for Democtrats to vote multiple times at various locations. Not impossible… just more difficult… That is the only reason why they are vehemently against picture IDs being required to vote.
