While Rome Burned...They Talked About Lipstick

If the conservatives win this one. I'm outta here. There are more progressive countries then the U.S.A.

ROFL, I mean the conservatives are still hell bent on removing the right to choose from all women...

And they pick on muslims for the way they treat women???

Stop blaming the GOP for all of the countries problems. Congres...you know...the branch of government that MAKES laws...is controlled by Democrats...while Democrats have controlled Congress during the last two years...gas prices have risen, housing prices dropped, foreclosures are up, stocks are down, food prices are up.

Look what the Democrats managed to do in two years...just imagine the damage they could do, if they controlled the White House and Congress for the next four!!

Offtopic:
I am trying to figure out how the republican vp can have a fundraiser in my area and charge $2500 to attend,$10,000 for a picture with, and $25,000 to speak with? Since the most an individual can donate to a canidate in the general election is $2300?

aha this is correct

McInsaine has not swayed me with a woman who can lie and can't even keep her own family in control
A mother of 5 which will be a grandmother soon and she has no more experience or intellect about what is really going on in this world!! Do you believe she can lead I don't! What is she gonna do for your children?, Education, Taxes, and to use her daughter as a pawn about ABORTION gimme a break! COme back to reality and pick the RIGHT choice OBAMA at least you will be able to live the REPUBLICANS just want to see the middleclass become poor and they continue to thumb their nose at the rest of the world who keeps their lieing, hypocritical asses on top! You have a chance to fix the mess that this administration has done!
Think about that when you look at lieing Palin and McPain in the A--

Will abortion rights, or gay rights or fill-in-the-blank rights mean very much when you are unable to afford food to feed yourself or those you love? When the temperature is 95 degrees, or 10 degrees, and you have no electricity, and gas for your generator costs $12 per gallon, will you be focused on “rights” or wanting to be warmer or cooler? How will you be able to protect your children or grandchildren from the bands of thugs roaming the streets when your right to protect yourself and those you love is limited due to gun confiscation?

“Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal” is a collection of essays about a philosophy of freedom. Two deal with the American monetary system. The author explains that nothing backs our currency at this time. He pointed out that sooner or later, our fiat money system would lead to disaster, and that only a currency backed by real value could prevent the inflation and collapse of our dollar. Ironically, the author of these essays was Alan Greenspan, and the book is several decades old. Even Greenspan knew that the authors of The Constitution attempted to protect us from what is unfolding today by making it illegal to use anything but silver or gold as currency. So go ahead and dismiss this post as hysterical ranting, but I guarantee that one year from now, you will remember everything you just read and know that the Marxist leaning judges Obama is sure to appoint will never allow us to return to pre-Federal Reserve currency and the freedom it provided.

<quoted text>it's not obama who is making an issue out of the lipstick thing, it's the McCain camp and they have distorted what was said and now is demanding an apology. it's all a crock of $hit.

And I wonder why McCain does not address the fact that he used that same old line himself but, I don't remember such an issue being made about it. What a self indulging waste of whats important,unless of course they flatter themself enough to take it as a personal hit.........
We the American people need to know we have a leader to lead us, not a 5 y/o who wants to whine and twist around someones words!!!!!!!!!!

Gee whiz, I’m pretty sure conservatives don’t advocate beheading or stoning of anyone, much less women. They also don’t advocate denying women educations or driving privileges, or insist on burqas. Does that clear things up for you?

As for nations more “progressive” than US, why not try Russia, China, Cuba, etc… as “progressive” is merely a pleasant moniker given to totalitarian regimes. You might vacation in a few “progressive” nations before deciding to live there. I suggest you start in N. Korea.

I wouldn't be suprised if they did... as long as the stones and burquas weren't government funded.

A vote for Obama is for HOPE

A vote for McBush is for FEAR

Americans vote for HOPE.

Al Qaeda votes for FEAR

Funny how all these things just seemed to happen THIS year?

Subprime loans have been used for a long time with few problems. Same for auction rate bonds - lots of government agencies have used them since the 90s without problems.

Makes one wonder if someone is stirring the pot trying to tank the economy on purpose to get their candidate elected.

Whose backers would benefit? Think about it.

Bush and McCain born to lead.

Sounds like an epic, of course if it were true. Evacuation orders were sent out, and some couldn't make it out. Guess it was Bush's fault somehow because I'm a democrat and I want points with all the feminists in class.
Dems are unusually retarded in facts, because dems are REVISIONISTS due to their failures..

Bush was celebrating McCain's birthday while people were drowning in New Orleans. Fine they told people who had no means or had ridden out storms before.
But as President you should curtail celebratory events while citizens are dying in huge numbers in a natural disaster.
That is unless you are some type of elitist. Then you don't care what the unwashed masses think

To bad your mother didnt believe in abortion. I wish we could rid our country of scum like you. Maybe if you blew off at the a$$ like you do at the mouth you would shit yourself to death.

Why are conservatives so HATEFUL? My God, the ones I hear from like you are bursting at the seams with HATE.

Man, don't you dems have a conscience? Lying accusation after lying accusation refuted and exposed for the country to see, and you still hold to some possibility that one of you may one day be real....
Simply, dem policies tank..

The evacuation ordes were given out. GET OUT OF NEW ORLEANS!. OH, yes, let me fly a helicopter in the hurricane to prove to the libs that I meant GET OUT....!
An Elitist is one who believes in evoluton, stands upright, and tells you where he thinks he's been.

Matt Damon says what is on the mind of most Americans.

Besides, anybody who abuses their position of power to try to
have fired a former brother in-law and fires a Commissioner
simply because of personal vendettas and not on the basis of job
merits is unethical, untrustoworthy and unfit to be a heart-beat
from the highest office in the Land.

You are too stupid to realize that your silence wouldn’t allow the rest of us to know how incredibly ignorant you are.

Guess the Clintons who fired countless qualified oficials must be included here, oh, sorry this judgement does not apply to democrats, lets give them a 'pass' like we always do, and pretend there's no hyprocracy.

You'll break your neck REACHING like that.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

This was forseeable to everyone in the mortgage industry doing "No Doc" deals...selling McMansions to people with no verifiable income.

The house of cards finally fell...nobody pushed it...it collapsed of it's own weight.

Stop acting surprised and get serious... we're in deep sh%t here and there's no place for the usual "no new taxes" pandering that was a lie the last time and as Greenspan himself is saying loud and clear is a lie again now.

Oh please. Have you only been keeping up with current events this last year? Read some history, for crying out loud! Ponzi schemes often take a long time to implode. Really, it wouldn’t have mattered who the hell was president today as this thing has been coming on for decades and many have warned it was inevitable. If you want to blame someone, blame President Wilson, FDR, and Johnson (democrats) and Nixon (republican) and congress (republican and democrat) for setting up Federal Reserve, social security, Medicare, welfare, etc…. which are all unconstitutional and have debased our currency and destroyed our freedoms in the name of “security.”
