   Wow–that is lowest Early Start/Starting Point has been in a very long time. How can CNN espouse that they are neutral when they cut our of Mitt’s press conference that was scheduled long before obama’s to go to obama’s press conference? Also now they say they know the source of the person who says Mitt hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years. Without naming them, they say they are very credible.

   Can’t we all just get along?

   Based upon what I have seen and heard, President B.O. will be reelected. Mitt doesn’t and can’t relate to Mr. and Mrs. Everyday American. B.O. has a long trip ahead of himself. Republicans have done everything possible to trip up B.O. to make him look bad and unreliable. The American people are smart. They can see through all of the bull which is being put down.

   Obama is ahead for now but its way too early. The election doesn’t mean much until after Labor Day. The one thing we can all agree on is that even if Fox News always has the most viewers, that definitely doesn’t mean Romney is going to win. There are just more die-hard old conservative viewers who watch the news everyday than independents or liberals.

   Boss,

   I’m wondering who will want a 68 year old to work for them? Not to say we can’t be good workers but my guess is those youngsters are going to look a whole heck of a lot better due to salary, and in some cases, more expensive benefits. That is why they are now trying to push those awful scripted programs! They can someday hire anyone who can read a script to “teach”. Experience will be more of an expense. Perhaps, something to hide on a resume. We can follow the old churn and burn model. Of course, I’m assuming there will be no more tenure.

   The Righties are not too bright!!

   “gee, dont ya think when Mitt gave his tax records to McCain the fact he paid little or no taxes would of come out?”

   Well McCain after a good review choose an idiot from Alaska over Mitt! SERIOUSLY!

   Remember a person making 60k paid 29.9% in taxes the same year Mitt paid 13% in taxes on his Millions. DOUBLE!!

    FOX AND FRIENDS needs to go to Prime Time because FOX & FRIENDS consistently
    beats the Losers on MessNBC….FOX & FRIENDS could replace Shep Smith because we don’t need to hear him tell us what Brett Baier has just told us.
    For a morning show to beat Prime Time shows is cool.

    I always wonder why it is ok to be rich if your a democrat running for president?
    The Kennedy’s, John Kerry (Heinz heiress), John Edwards come to mind.

    I also wonder why it’s ok to donate to planned parenthood and state your pro obortion or to GLADD to fundraiser for gay marriage causes but it’s not Ok to donate to organizations that oppose those cause’s?
    So much HYPOCRISY!

    Report: Obama Campaign Sues To Restrict Military Voting

    President Barack Obama, along with many Democrats, likes to say that, while they may disagree with the GOP on many issues related to national security, they absolutely share their admiration and dedication to members of our armed forces. Obama, in particular, enjoys being seen visiting troops and having photos taken with members of our military. So, why is his campaign and the Democrat party suing to restrict their ability to vote in the upcoming election?

    On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”

    Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty.

    The National Defense Committee reports:

    [f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.

    I think its unconscionable that we as a nation wouldn’t make it as easy as possible for members of the military to vote. They arguably have more right to vote than the rest of us, since it is their service and sacrifice that ensures we have the right to vote in the first place.

    If anyone proposes legislation to combat voter fraud, Democrats will loudly scream that the proposal could “disenfranchise” some voter, somewhere. We must ensure, they argue, that voting is easy and accessible to every single voter. Every voter, that is, except the men and women of our military.

    Make no mistake, the Democrat lawsuit is intended to disenfranchise some unknown number of military voters. The judge should reject it with prejudice.

    You know, Jim, I was not going to respond to you, but I must be in a good mood b/cause here goes:
    Jim? Have I ever called you an idiot?….No
    Jim? Did I ever call you a freaking idiot (do not need solid caps)….No, but I am going to start now…Yes you are…..
    Jim? I know you have a major thing for me and I can understand why because I don’t have the same thing for you: I only reserve those feelings for R.Boy, Jeff, Boss, Coffee, James,Suik,U.S., Gab…and others, just not you, Jim. Tut tut, Jim, now please don’t go into your room and sulk because Nancy does not find a guy who is mean, nasty, miserable and a name caller of any interest. Now, why would I want to associate with your type? No way, no how. I have the perfect solution: Jim..you need to ask Chrisee out. Lordy, you two are a match made in heaven and you will be her knight in shining armor..Even I was impressed with the way you came to her defense. What a guy…that Jim! Don’t be cheap and be sure to pull out all of the stops…Dinner and drinks, candle light and, and, and……

    According to RCP Obama is ahead by only a slim margin – 3pts. This despite some of the polls leaning more towards Democrats by as much as 7%. No shocker that one of those pollers is NBC. Don’t believe the hype, Obama is not going to win re-election. The media is doing whatever they can to distract us away from the real issues, his failure. There is a reason Fox is the most watched News channel and voted the most trusted news source. With the exception of Hannity, they are pretty fair on all issues and report everything. Good and bad. Unlike the others who only report bad things for the GOP. Which Americans are tired of.

    Look no further than the support Chic-Fil-a received 2 days ago as proof Americans are growing tired of liberals and their tactics. Over 600K (rough estimate) came out on Wed to support FREE SPEECH. Tonight they are expecting 13K to rally against. The word is out and so are liberals. It’s 2010 all over again and this time we can oust Obama and this time we will.
