CNN. Romney cut somebodys hair when he was in high schooll. Makes him unfitt for pres. Snort some coke, smoke some grass, go to the same church for 20 years then throw your preacher under the bus. OK
Can’t we all just get along?
Yesterdays interview by Chris Wallace with Mitt and Mrs. You People was a softball fest with lots or sugar. I did not learn anything new about where Mitt wants to take this nation.
I read the comments on this blog and can not believe that my fellow bloggers can’t see through the bull the republicans are dishing out. Lie after republican lie has been refuted by fact checkers and the press yet it doesn’t make a differnce to those who are known to be intelligent.
@ ninja
Snort some coke, smoke some grass,
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT??? ……………oh yea, all you have to do is buy is book audio version and you can hear him say it himself!!!! (lets not forget drink heavily)

Joke?
@Ratboy
Been raining off and on here all day, felt good, been a long while since that happened
After watching Sheppard Smith for a while, I think he would feel much more at home at MSNBC where his true political leanings could flower along side Tingles, without them being pruned back by Fox. He seems to enjoy sliding in his small minded left wing jabs when he thinks he can get away with it. And I believe it would free him up to really sprout and come out of the closet in more ways than one, although his ratings would probably suffer even more than they have been lately.
AppleStinx: O’Reilly was on vacation last week Monica Crowley filled in Friday..
Coffee Steve: We all know the world revolves around The Greatest President in the History of Everything. So it makes sense that all the other celestial bodies were placed in the sky to shine down upon him.
This is not a Photoshop. This was actually posted on Obama’s official Tumblr page:

History (Political Fact)
On this day, the first day of a political convention, 12 out of the past 15 elections, the person leading on this day in the gallup poll has won.
Romney is up by one today
OK, you liberals give yet?

We had it a few days ago but it is hot again here since Saturday. Today was the coolest of the 3 at 88. We had a little rain overnight last night but still not enough!
@Snap Tie
Also notice in that picture, just to the top, right of the cresent moon was Venus, and due to the cuts Obama has made to NASA, thats about as close as we’ll get to venus
@Rats
I think our drought is about over, the past few systems have gave us enough rain to turn te grass mostly green again. I’ve had to cut grass twice in two weeks. As long as we get the rain, I don’t mind having to cut.
@HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT??? ……………oh yea, all you have to do is buy is book audio version and you can hear him say it himself!!!! (lets not forget drink heavily)
George W. Bush never did any of those things:
Drink heavily
Cocaine
Marijuana
And yet ya voted for him, twice probably.
Silly Righties! Its hilarious when you try to sit in judgment of another person choices and conduct when your very comments contradict your previous leaders whom you faithfully blindly supported and reelected.
Bobby Jindahl performed an exorcism, now that takes some serious drugs!
@Jeff
Oh Lord, can you imagine if I was President and all the coffee I drink?
OK! GUYS WHERE IS THAT LITTLE RED NUKE BUTTON, I WANT A FIRE ONE UP
“…due to the cuts Obama has made to NASA, thats about as close as we’ll get to venus”
___________________________________________
For Obama to have ‘made cuts’ to NASA the Congress would have had to pass his budget, and as people around here are fond of pointing out, the Congress hasn’t passed a budget in years. Any cuts made to NASA funding have come from Congressional appropriation choices, and the plan to decommission the space shuttle began in 2005, long before Obama set foot in the White House.
I’ll take that drink now, whiskey, and I don’t even drink
*Report: Biden Preparing to Run in 2016
Now, with news coming from the New Republic (TNR) that Vice President Joe Biden is seriously building the infrastructure for a 2016 run, many snickering conservatives are likely to have a similar reaction. From TNR’s story:
Maybe he can get Nancy Pelosi to be his running mate
@Matthew
When NASA cut the shuttle program is was to concentrate on the mission that Goerge Bush waanted by 2020 to land a ship on Mars, then the Obama administration scraped that plan and slowed down the new rocket design to concentrate of sending space craft to asteriods and comets.
The NASA budget even in it hayday was responsible for less than 1/10 of the budget. Yes Congress cut more, but only after the direction of NASA was changed and it’s diretor was assigned to improve our relations with the Islamic world.
President Obama is on track to be the first sitting President in modern times to never have signed his own Budget into law.
^Correction
Bush wanted to be back on the moon by 2020, then Mars
Our third goal,” Bush said, “is to return to the moon by 2020, as the launching point for missions beyond.” He proposed sending robotic probes to the lunar surface by 2008, with a human mission as early as 2015, “with the goal of living and working there for increasingly extended periods of time.”
