-Ratboy, Fox & Friends Issues Correction After Using 3 Year Old Photo To Rip Obama
msnbc did not include that part, thanks, ah yes that tweet should make it to ALL the twitter savvy peeps that watch Fox & Friends.
The senior center lunch table topic today was ” Pirate & Letterman Yes! Israeli PM No! “
Can’t we all just get along?
A new FOX news poll has BO leanding in FL, VA and OH. It must have had hurt FOX to deal with these numbers. I bet that Hannity will have a spin.
Early Start/Starting Point–still in the 200′s.
Hannity rules the cable airwaves. Hannity is such a lovable, warm, even tempered, kind, generous, giving, talented, insightful, clever, inteligent…I could go on and on. I can certainly see how he cleaned Maddow’s clock last night but good.
intelligent-not intelligent
Or Intelligent-not inteligent how intelligent of me.
Hey Ratboy, I don’t trust the Gallup too much. I think Rasmussen is more accurate and currently Rasmussen has Obama winning with 47% while Romney is at 45%.
The Intrade (Stock Market betting) isn’t fairing to well for Romney either. Obama is now nearing the 70% mark.
Obama – 69.7%
Romney – 33.3%
Hannity….even tempered, generous, giving? WHAT? He yells over every guests that disagrees with him on his show!

They already did give their spin. Fox and Friends showed the poll, right after they said “yeah but the poll isn’t reliable until after the debates”…yeah well when you showed other polls when Romney was ahead, that’s not what you said….why even show the poll in the first place….just so you can throw every poll out of the window if Obama is winning, Fox and Friends?
@S.Papa
To be honest, a few weeks ago I seen this fantastic deal at a coffee shop on ground coffee and bought about 6 months worth. I do know by my kids telling me It has went up by about a dollar a bag though.
@
The lefties
You can quote your poll numbers and you can attack Romney but that will not make Barrack Obama a success.
I see the lib. media is pushing the great economic recovery of 2012.
Corrupt vermin
I demand that all you lefties refer to him as Hannity the Great.
@
Suiko
Yeah I have trouble watching a segment of his show when he barks over his guests. Just having a little fun. Campaign season, we all get a little crazy.
@Mark2 & Ratboy
On the polls
The DNC & RNC uses their own internal polling and they also use a projected polling method based on things like Economy, Foreign Policy, Voter enthusiasm, current events and potential events that could change things etc…
A Theory that I have is, the DNC must be worried thus the hyperbole from the Media, they are acting as a bunch of hungry dogs just wanting to devour. If Obama was ahead in any comfortable margin they would then appear to be more fair.
-suiko Chick Fil A was swamped today, overheard some discussions about the reversal and people overall happy about the decision. My experience was great. The “director” as his title on his name tag read said they were extraordinarily busy today as a result.
-s. papa. Arrows shot “for fun” at a woman and a man Pelosi & Reid, murder in the Hollywood Hills, and all this extra hostility…..how about taking up some yoga??? Calm down buddy
@
Coffee Steve
I feel the same way. If Obama was a lock they would not waste their breath on the great economic recovery of 2012. The whole idea makes them look ridiculous. Not to them but to a majority of people that know the economy is in the tank. They are going by a one month increase in home sales? Really, that is the best they can do.
Just watched Harry Reids speech from today
Is it just me or does it seems like he runs on batteries and his batteries are getting low?
If a guy was applying for CEO of a GREAT company said during an interview……
Half of your company are losers and mooches.
Would he get the job?
-coffee steve, could only stand 2 minutes of Rush today….ugh!
We talked about Cadillacs and our love for em, here’s the plan.
Per Rush, let’s go to Chicago, enroll in the food stamp program, so we can get our free Escalade.
What ya say?

Jeff
The Hollywood Hills thing was pun on a meeting between you and DB. Don’t worry it won’t and couldn’t happen. If it did I would not let anything happen to either of you. I may be 5″7″ and 190 pds. But I can call 911 faster than anyone I know.
I never talked about hurting Mrs. Pelosi or Mr. Reid.
@Sicilian Papa
Tell you something else too, October is a month the Stock Markets corrects itself each year, always happens. D.D. & I have been talking about the fact that a bunch of Billionaires are leaving the market very fast already. There is a slow controled devaluation of the dollar going on each day now.
My wife and I are going to discuss in awhile weither I will keep the 5 stocks I have or get completly out again before October. I simply do not like some of the trends I am seeing. QE3 should have had the market up for a few weeks at least, the rally lasted 1 single day, and even now the futures and the asian markets are way down, again.
A normal correction is about 400-500 points, and thats what some are predicting in October, but as fragile as the ecomony is, it could start a panic on th market. Hope not, but the potential is there for sure.
