@DB good evening,
You must be only getting my posts then, may want to check that computer bro. Because if all you can do is find fault with my posts then you must be having possible computer issues sir.
I see plenty of silly stuff from the other side yet you find fault with just me, I do enjoy posts by the other side even if do not agree, Mr.Ratboy has me looking at newsbusters now because of some great articles he shared. +soi im a lityle hooked) I am called a child(could careless) but I do Atleast give posters some room to share their opinions and stories even if I deem them insane or totally false. Does not mean I will call em names for their posting (Atleast not try to anymore) but read it and move on, or post a conflicting article to debate. But that’s me, these other folks that chirp in and feed my satisfaction that I may have shared some truth they can’t swallow, so they act like a __________ .
DB, hope you have some amazing plans for the holiday weekend. I an going tomorrow to my alleged home in Palm Springs where the sun does not rise over Starbucks nor does time work accurately. Sandy no big plans other than taking it easy, or inviting some friends out from LA for some triple digit temperature fun in the sun.
After seeing Scroll the troll post above……
I rest my case.

Did any Righties change the channel when Colin Powell made Hannity look like an idiot repeatedly with reality truth and discipline from the General about how poor Mittwitt is doing with his campaign Re: foreign affairs, gay marriage, etc?

Anyone watch or enjoy Betty Whites program on NBC Off their Rockers?

It is coming, just like I forecast, and I can’t say that I dislike the measure either. Too many fake people roaming on the internet. Hopefully, this is just the preview of what will be a nationwide effort. “New York Legislation Would Ban Anonymous Online Speech.”
—————————————–
So you can remove say “Hillbilly’s” comments, but don’t have to revel yourself. Thats clear crazy. Every politician in the country will have a staff trolling the net to remove any comments they don’t like. I’ll post with the name Gabriel Smith.
Needless to say this will never pass the “smell test” in court. OK i should say the SCOTUS. Some wacky judge might let it stand.
WOW……………Fox beats MSNBC at least 3 or 4 -1 on almost everything but Rocky Maddow
Like I’ve said a million times, Cable News is the minor leagues when compared to Broadcast News (ABC World News, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News) which pulls in over 24 Million unique viewers. Cable News is a dying breed.
Cable News is dead!!! I hope these stats not only wake you guys up but all shock you into reality. Online News is where most Americans go to get their news. Looks like CNN and MSNBC aren’t doing so bad afterall.
Estimated Unique Monthly Visitors:
#1 Yahoo News – 110 Million
#2 CNN News – 74 Million
#3 MSNBC News – 73 Million
#4 Google News – 65 Miilion
#5 NY Times – 59 Million
Steve Perry – Like I’ve said a million times, Cable News is the minor leagues when compared to Broadcast News (ABC World News, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Evening News) which pulls in over 24 Million unique viewers. Cable News is a dying breed.

Like I’ve said a million times that’s an apples to oranges comparison. Your boy Brian Willams was on MSNBC & lost to every show on FNC that night.
24% Increase in Base Spending. Non-defense discretionary spending grew by 24% for the first two years of the Obama Administration, adding $734 billion in spending over the next 10 years.
—————————————–
The first two years the dem controlled congress. marketwatch.com can suck it!
Bill Hemmer’s “racial slur” – Calling folks who are here by breaking the law “Illegal Aliens.” Gasp!
———————————–
Bret Baier’s “ethics violation” – He didn’t tell the viewers Nobama released a BC. Gasp!
@Jeff
I see you are ducking my question. Its OK by me. Just reinforces my point. You need a hint? I’ll be nice and give you one. It starts with a G.
@Gabriel
You think they can or should ban anonymous posters on the net. Larry Flint can publish a fake pic of S.E. Cupp giving oral sex. Yes i know he didn’t hide who he was, so its not the same. Still if the SCOTUS allows this i don’t see the NY law standing.
Faith3 will be really mad if this becomes law.
Mitt Romney said Wednesday that under his new K-12 education plan, federal education funds will follow low-income or disabled American children so that they can attend any school in their state, including private ones.

MIT and Harvard in battle to create life-changing product: Non-stick ketchup bottles
Watch it here.
CNN can change talking heads and it won’t make a difference until they start to turn back right a bit and embrace the middle, the moderates and Independents. Now they are just a lesser version of MSNBC.
@Hillbilly
Fact remains, less than 2% of all Americans watch cable news…it’s dead!!! The vast najority of Americans get their news from Online news sites and Broadcast news. By the way, Brian Williams was never on MSNBC. He’s still on NBC Nightly news and draws over 9 Million viewers every night and beats O’Reilly by over 6 Million viewers every night.
Good Morning all
Jeff , democrat operatives go to the cemetery on memorial day to register voters, even you know that
Walker up 8 pts in WI 50 42 game over
@REM. lmao!! Hilarious!!
Register them to vote by Dems, or Baptise them to Mormonism for Mittwitt’s
Goooooood Morning! Gonna be a hot one in SW Michigan and it aint even summer yet!!
Navy Dude, did you forget how to count??
T minus Toooooooo damn long!!!!!
President Obama Denounces Republican ‘Wild Debts’: I’m Not an Over-Spender
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At a fundraiser for his re-election campaign in Denver tonight, President Obama set out to upend conventional Republican wisdom that his administration has been defined by excessive government spending.
“I’m running to pay down our debt in a way that’s balanced and responsible. After inheriting a $1 trillion deficit, I signed $2 trillion of spending cuts into law,” he told a crowd of donors at the Hyatt Regency. “My opponent won’t admit it, but it’s starting to appear in places, like real liberal outlets, like the Wall Street Journal: Since I’ve been president, federal spending has risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years. Think about that.”
