@Ralph Hahn
Someone is impersonating ME now.
I was Doug long time ago and another Doug came on. I then changed my Name to Doug Z. I am the neocon.,Libs need to remember that.
@Ratboy
The sock drawer is pretty empty these days so beware!
Bill will soon come in and devour the cads, Bill will get angry, he will turn green, and no one will like him when he turns green and destroys and eats the puppets, Minus the socks
BBL…supper time
@Hillbilly: >>> Where’s Steve Perry to spin this? <<<
You mean that guy from Journey? lol.
The REAL Ralph Hahn
@Doug Z: It’s not much difference between a “dave” posting and a “Dave posting.” But, whoever has taken control, is using both my first and last names. HOW is this possible?

BHO lied about the $5 trillion in tax cuts, BHO lied about the most oil-producing land being public, BHO lied about saying his health care would cover pre-existing conditions, Romney lied about that Dodd Frank bill, BHO lied about not cutting taxes for the wealthy, BHO lied about not increasing the federal defense budget, BHO lied about the tax breaks for the middle class, BHO lied about Massachusetts being number one in education while in office, BHO lied about Medicare being cut under Obamacare, BHO lied about saying that he cared for everyone,etc. BHO is nothing more than they flip-flopping liar whose lies and flip-flops will eventually catch up to him and bite him in the azz. Just like what happened to John Kerry, who by the way one all 3 debates against George Bush but still lost the election.
BHO just lied. can we all get along now
Ralph Hahn
Are they Libs. Lie like BHO Ha, Ha
I am not impersonating anyone. My name is Ralph Hahn. I’m for Obama. Guess two Ralph Hahn’s are on here now and have two differing opinions.
Mark2
By the way, WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT WAS THE REAL BARACK OBAMA.
Big night for FOX, more than I would have imagined. Am a bit surprised MSNBC did not come in second since they have been pretty strong during this election season.
@Doug Z: >>> BHO just lied. can we all get along now <<<
Mark2 lies all the time as well. Any other of you yahoos who make claims about a candidate who "lied" last night, use the Internet and do research and back up your lying claims with facts, NOT b.s.
The Real Ralph Hahn
Ralph Hahn
Is the new one Lib or a noecon
@
Dave
That’s the Dave we all know and…
ATTENTION BOARD MODS:
Please correct this board. Several folks are posting here under our real names or “handles.” There are no two posts from someone claiming to be me.
See 2:50pm.
Ralph Hahn
I copied his post and changed the name, Romney to BHO. Fun is it not
CORRECTION, MODS: >>> There are NOW two posts…. <<<
Ralph Hahn
I am confused now.
I cannot believe the amount of zombified americans that sat and watched 1 and 1/2 old white man and 1/2 a black man sit and blow smoke up america’s butt. I seen clips and it is the same tired crap that these fools have been saying since tv first aired debates. I was waiting for the these fools to say that they would make lunches taste better and recess to last longer. Who needs terrorist when we have politicians destroying america for them. Honestly with all these people claiming they will balance the budget since cavemen ran for wheelroller. Shouldn’t that budget be balanced already?. Our military gets used as pawns. Washington (dems and repubs) only care about the soldiers during election season and when they die. They screw with these peoples lives and money not to mention their healthcare. Do Americans hold washington responsible? Heck no!! they are too busy seeing who won the ratings between Fox and Msnbc. Next time you see where 20 dead soldiers died(oh thats right cable doesn’t care about that unless it is 20 dead arabs and Somilia earthquake victims) the cable cares when is the last time Anderson cooper or any other cable news anchor flashed a # to text to help homeless or military americans. Voters are to blame though because they have decided election season should be treated like fantasy football. Shame on American’s letting these crooked bandits in washington get away with everything they do.
wowie zowey
Americans so not know for the media is in the tank for BHO. They keep score under Bush to make the people turn on Bush.Lib media will not do this to BHO
