The ast time the Democrat women took control of office in 1992 they were on all the news shows together the next couple of days. Their agenda was: Gay rights, abortion on demand, government controlled health care, free day care for all low income people, amnesty for illegal aliens. They didn't one time mention education and accountability for the tax dollars we throw at education, they never spoke about our taxes being too high, or any of the other issues important to
most middle American's.
That's when I became a Republican.

Right now unemplyment is the lowest it's been in many years. The stock market is at an all time high. 500,000 jobs were created in the last quarter alone, wages are up and gasoline prices are down. Why don't we hear this good news? Because the media, just as Iran, North Korea, and Al Quaida want Liberals in office. At least Al Quaida is honest about it and preaches about it to Arabs daily.

I think everyone better consider this before they vote Tuesday.

OK... calling out the women haters isn't exactly what I call a GOOD campaign strategy, Shirley...

Do you mean after the Women's Suffrage movement and a constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote she gives her vote to her husband!? Ladies, haven't you all figured out there are a lot more registered women voters than men? Figure out what YOU want, how YOU want it to be, use YOUR head, do YOUR research. Don't let some control freak man tell you how you should vote. He can't see inside of that voting booth.....but he can see an absentee ballot....maybe thats why you're not going to the polls

My wife voted on an advance ballot at a different time than I did and we do not always agree. Who is telling whom how to vote?

No, just don't think people should blindly follow anyone, not Rush, not you,not their husband. I can't count how many women answer the door during a campaign and say they have to ask their husband! If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. That's why so many people get duped and taken advantage of. They don't bother to check it out for themselves, they just take someone else's word for something. Just because I speak up, you assume that I must be bitter, like it's a dig or something. Just because I find YOUR thought process offensive, I don't assume you are just an idiot that doesn't know any better or at least I don't say that in a little quip like you do.....

Oh, my bad..I guess I didn't touch a nerve with
a "bitter much" comment. You liken a Karate Kid comment to being a submissive female. I know Ralph Machio isn't all that and a bag of sour cream potato chips but it is not an offensive thought process.

I read and re-read your comments above and still don't see what your so peeved about. If we follow your female/general population of never follow, think for yourselves then by that token your full of shit too. Where did this Rush Limbaugh comment come from?? Or "Husband"?

Oh, and if you knocked on my door asking personal information about who, what, where, when & why we vote the way we do you can expect a loud "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA!!!!!!" Jim Rome Style Buzzer.

Look Beavis, I was referring to Rick, being the one who was so easily amused, guess you didn't get that, huh? And I don't ask personal information, just offer positive statements about whatever candidate I happen to be endorsing. Why do you all have to assume things? And the Rush thing came about because of his propensity to go off of the deep end spouting pompous remarks, but its his show, so you don't hear any opposition, and he sounds a lot like you, making fun of someone when he can't actually make a point. And then people follow him????? I used to listen to what he had to say when he was presenting facts, but lost respect for him now that he just twists them all around to suit his purpose...sound familiar?

Oh and I guess you be livin in the hood now wit yur "My bad" thing.....I think the proper thing to say would be, "Excuse me, I must have made a mistake..." try it....sounds so much more grown up, polite and like you might have an education...next thing you know you'll be having to hold your pants up with one hand so you can actually walk down the street instead of getting pants that fit or wearing that latest invention called the belt to hold them up while your slangin sh*t on the corner....

Yeah, you can read between the lines, too. Looks like people are so fed up with the agenda that was being shoved down their throats, that the majority voted to get rid of them all. So now lets watch the deficit get paid down into a surplus again, and listen to poor Guru Rush choke and make whiny *ss excuses as to why it happened and how the conservatives(which he equates with Republicans)couldn't be true to their party and the President. I just couldn't wait to hear him whining this morning, oooo boo hooo snivel snivel formerly smoke stained fingers that still grip a cigar, addict of Oxycontin, yeah, but its ok because he has money...and he laughing at you all the way to the bank....sheep gone astray?

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Cancer

You have a tendency to go overboard today Cancer, whether it's eating too much food, drinking too much or taking on more than you can handle at work. You simply won't know when to stop! You're in a very sociable mood and you're also feeling very easy-going, prepared to take people at face value and to turn a blind eye to their faults and foibles. And you hope they'll do the same for you.
