If you pop in later.
“You need to get one of those “STOP IT” emocons thingies”
Working it now, tried using

PS Killing Lincoln did not work, to long and to hard to read in 2 lines.

Calypso Louie Threatens Obama
‘“Do you know what the real threat of stay-at-home moms is to leftists? They don’t need government! They are the essence of individuality. Stay-at-home moms are the essence of rugged individualism, and they don’t need the state.” -Rush’
Hahahahah, ah, yes. Patriarchy is the ‘essence of individuality.’ As long as, you know, you’re a man.
@lbles
Still quoting rush. You do realize the Mitt Romney said a worse thing about stay at home moms than Rosen did and I don’t see you or anyone else talking about it….
Can’t we all just get along?
I am back. It has been almost two weeks since my windows Vista went down. I took a chance on Staples Tech Service and they did a good job.
I do not see Mitt beating BO, it is not in the cards. Mitt puts his foot in his mouth each time he speaks. Mitt is going to need a team of debate coaches
to keep up with BO.
Do we really want to count chickens this early?
@lbsles
Yeah, those mama grizzlies really helped put Sarah Palin in the White House….NOT!!! The fact is the next President will be determined by who wins the Independent voters…and that has more to do with indepedent working women…not stay-at-home moms.
“Study Confirms Undeniable Truth of Life #24″
BTW, I’d love to know what some of the female posters think about the argument being made in this article. It’s essentially saying (admitting) that prior to the feminist movement, being a female meant you DIDN’T live in a meritocracy, and that your place in the hierarchy was determined by your physical attractiveness, rather than your intelligence and talent. I’m sure just as many beautiful women support the elimination of such a system as ugly women, because intelligent and talented women that are beautiful want just as much agency as anyone else; Nothing is more insufferable for people with talent than to have to live under the tyranny of those less competent than they are, people who are only in their positions through an accident of birth. Rush seems to long for the ‘good old days’ when people fit in their ‘traditional roles’ and ‘knew their place.’
I would love for Bill Maher to run into Todd Palin someday on the street!!
After 16 years of being the No.#1 morning news show, NBC’s Today show has been dethroned by ABC’s Good Morning America. I called this one last week. This is what NBC gets for hiring Sarah Palin…serves them right.
Steve go to Gallup .Romney is wining the independent vote by 6 you got it backwards
Why Obama will lose and is the worst president in US history
Operation Fast & Furious
Obamacare (now costing TWICE AS MUCH)
$5 TRILLION in DEBT first term of 0bama
$500 Billion CUT from Medicare
Failures of Solyndra, NextEra, Light Squared, Ener1, Solar Trust and others
Failure to enforce Federal immigration laws
Failure to approve Trans-Canada Keystone Pipeline
Failure to accept reforms from Simpson-Bowels (his own commission)
14.9% U-6 Real Unemployment
Skirting Congress with unelected ‘czars’ to protect his donors
America’s Credit Downgrade causes OUR investments to tank
30% loss in value of OUR homes
20 years of Rev. Wright’s racism
Bailing out GM & Chrysler unions’ pensions with OUR taxes
Highest Food Stamp usage in history
Out-of-control NLRB giving unions more power so their donations grow
Suing AZ, Al, SC, Boeing and Apple while ignoring the NB Panthers
$800B for ‘shovel-ready’ Stimulus jobs that produced NO JOBS
Dept. of Energy under contempt of court and over 100 investigations
N0 Energy Policy…Oil, Natural Gas & Coal production anemic
N0 Foreign Policy other than alienate and isolate our allies (Israel)
Apologizing to Muslims and enemies of the USA
Acorn / Union cronyism paybacks with OUR Taxes
1200 0bamaCare waivers to Democrat donators
Showing complete weakness to our enemies with NO CLUE
AND 0BAMA CAMPAIGNS AND FUND RAISES…BETWEEN VACATIONS (Bali next)
REM’s polling data is BS. Not true as usual. But I think we all know that by now. Perhaps the polling data he read and got so excited over was from Arizona or Alabama polls…..who cares either way eh?
Mitt Romney thinks an at home mom is a REAL JOB unless she is poor and on some form of aid….oooops.
Oppps again, Mitt and Ann Romney busted on tape making comments about being happy that Hillary Rosen made the comments an it being a gift.
Mitt also busted on tape with thoughts on Latino voters and many government agencies he would cut. He has some splaining to dooooooo!
The guy that had OBL and al-Awlaki assassinated, and continues to ignore sovereignty and murder people with robot death planes is ‘soft on our enemies.’ Lets elect the guy that dodged the draft so he could fart around in France, he strikes me as a guy who knows foreign policy
Can’t we all just get along?
@ REM
Please find another dealer. Your current dealer knows that you are not playing with a full deck. You are being cheated.
Gallup new daily tracking, Jeff thats Gallup.com
all registered voters Obama45 Romney47
republicans Obama 6 Romney90
democrats Obama 90 Romney6
Independents Obama 39 Romney45
Jeffy boy read em and weep and it will only get worse for Obama
Going to party like the GSA in November.
Here’s the link showing that ABC’s GMA with Katie Couric has dethroned NBC’ Today show with Sarah Palin. This is the first time in 16 years that NBC will not finish in 1st. They should’ve never tried to fix something that wasn’t broke and they should’ve never hired Sarah Palin.
