Yeah yeah yeah we know.
@
the lefties
The scags in the lib. media are disgusting. They are dishonest liars with no integrity. They really are a low form of life.
I am venting but that does not mean that I don’t mean what I say.
@Sicilian Papa
So is the con. media and shock jocks….but I don’t see the outrage towards them from you….
@
Suiko
Yeah, you know but I want everyone that happens by this site to know. I want America to put these phonies in the beard line where they belong instead of the cushy jobs they have making millions to tell lies.
Sicilian Papa,
My real name is Jimmy, and I’m doing a school project on why democratic males are genuinely feminine and republican males are alpha males. You see, Bruce willis, Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood are republicans.
I’m from North Carolina and attend a year-round government highschool. I was just soliciting information from you all to assist me with my paper.

I here what you are saying but Morris can be overly optimistic. I will tell you don’t believe the swing State numbers they are scewed by biased polls. The lib. media pushes the narative that Obama is doing well when he isn’t. He is up by a small margin. It is up to Romney to sieze the reins. Tough because he is a little flat and lib. media makes sure the only coverage he gets is negative.
=================================
Dick Morris is nothing but a DICK. He’s only in the business to sell books.
Sicilian Papa,
By your grammar ability or lack there of, it appears that you too attended a government school.
@
Suiko
I like anyone who doesn’t pretend to be something they are not. I don’t like Rachel Maddow’s views on so many things but she doesn’t pretend to be something she is not. I have respect for the lefties that tell it the way they see it. Shock jocks, Rush Limbaugh, you know what you are getting when you listen. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, PRETEND to be news people that angers me because they are the umpires and they make all the calls for the other team.
@
Jimmy
My that was a bit snarky about the grammar. I am not going to bit. This is Sicilian Papa you are talking to and I don’t con easy.
Hey Gabe it’s good to hear from you.
S. Papa,
OK, you let that Jimmy know and I like your style. I spent a few weeks in Sicily and thought the ocean, people, food, everything was perfect. Ditto to gabe.

A sample size of three old men. Hahaha. Do these guy look feminine to you? You have the game effed up.

My cousin went to Sicily last year. Money has been real tight but I would love to go sometime. Visit Rome and Venice also.
Shepard Smith = libtard
I don’t have a problem with a liberal-leftist on Fox TV. But I object to their claim that “news anchor” Shepard Smith is a “fair and balanced” reporter. Time and again he editorializes in favor of the liberal left position – whether it is as an advocate of their views or in attacking the conservative position.
Shepard Smith uses sarcasm and opinion sneakily camouflaged as fact to constantly denigrate the conservative position as if he is reporting facts. All the while pretending to be reporting the news “fair and balanced.”
Memo>Fox News: Fire Smith
@Tomas
Let me guess, you have a problem with Shep Smith doing it but no one else on there doing it because he’s a liberal….right?
@Sicilian Papa
You guys always crack me up with your “liberal media” rant. What would you expect the media to be? THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A COMPLETELY IMPARTIAL MEDIA!!! The news will always be colored by the people who report it. That’s why progressives complain about Fox News bias. The issue is this: there appears to be more more left-leaning media outlets than right-leaning. Name ONE unbaised (left or right) news outlet!!! Come one, folks. Use your head.
“The Morris analysis
The Real Poll Numbers”
Hahaha. I love how he doesn’t reveal who his polling source is in either the article, or in his video (in the video he even specifically says “I can’t tell you who they are, but trust me, they’re the bestest!!!”), so we just have to take him at his word that he has The Real Numbers. Researching state polls over the last 8 days, I can’t find any polls in the swing states that sync up with the claims made in his article. Now, this isn’t unusual, since a lot of campaigns and pundits pay pollsters to collect data that they don’t release publicly, but since this is Dick Morris, I’ll go ahead and take it with a grain of salt.
This Tax records situation is getting ugly for Mitt, he’s hoping his VEEP pick might distract attention. Now Mitt, with the help of Fox News is also creating lies about Ohio Military early voting lawsuit. The President is seeking early voting for ALL citizens of Ohio to be maintained. Even Veteran organizations have said Mitt is doing the wrong thing.
Can’t we all just get along?
Harry Reid knows something. Or does he? In any case he has republicans calling him a liar. Mitt pleae show your taxes.
Harry Reid is pulling the Birther routine. lol.
I’m pleased to see some Democrats grow some balls and fight dirty right back at a campaign and party that lies and distorts at historic levels on just about every subject and that believes the NEW compromise is to agree with their far right wing ideology, or NO DEAL.
I would not want a Democrat to base their voting on that principle. Seems the GOP keep electing more and more Right wing extremist that will not compromise. Not good!!
PS Erick is An idiot!.
