Hey coffee…shhhhhh …….I think papa pooped in the water in Connecticut……shhhhhhhhbhbb
@Ratboy
I think papa pooped in the water in Connecticut
I’m telling Al Gore
I like reading a number of different newspapers and web sites, I like keepng my buds informed on news thet our “press” used to do. How many of you knew that a attack on Iran has been pushed back for months?
*Iran quietly chose recently to use more than a third of its medium-enriched uranium for civilian purposes, thus delaying their ability to make a nuclear bomb, said Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
The move “allows contemplating delaying the moment of truth by eight to 10 months,” Barak said.

I’m with you Coffee Steve, cool to have another Star Wars to look forward to! Second, this to Sam, there are A LOT of other shows on FOX other than Hannity!
@ Rob
You noticed that Hannity still has his show and just signed a new long term contract and Olhberman lost his job at MSDNC AND Current and is still unemployed.
Didn’t President Obama appear on ‘Morning Joe’ on Monday, and that was supposed to be the biggest coup in the program’s history?? Awful ratings, they lost to ‘Early Start/Starting Poing’ in the demo.
Survey USA Obama 48% Romney 45% Dems +6
The last Survey USA had the same number except Dems +3
Hey apple, you forgot one thing………………….D’OH!!!!
@AppleStinx
I noticed that as well. Sure is different than 2008 isn’t it?
They polled more Dems with the same result.
@S. Papa
They polled more Dems with the same result.
That is what always has bothered me about some of the polling companies, they do what they can to get the result they want.
Well I’m sticking right now with my prediction of Romney winning by a count of 277-295 to 261 For Obama.
Yes, anything can happen, but unless it does, thats my pick.
Night Everyone
Peace & Grace
@ Papa,
“Who sent Susan Rice on all those Sunday shows to blame the video 5 days after the attack? The President is last word on whether to send in troops in a crisis situation.”
Again your answer fails to answer the 2 essential points to prove beyond doubt that the government was intentionally negligent and therefore your “Susan Rice” analogy falls into either “speculation” or “witch hunting”. You are a nice guy, I’ll say you’re just speculating which is totally fine but when it turns into questioning the president’s leadership, it’s wrong because of the absence of evidence .
“Just because the corrupt partisan media does not investigate does not mean people can’t draw reasonable conclusions about what happened. When they are given the proper information.”
The media doesn’t have the obligation to investigate when they don’t have the efficient resources to do so otherwise it’ll turn into worthless speculation. In order to investigate something like this you need investigators both in Libya and within the administration pulling out facts. No one has such resources except the state department and federal bureau of investigation, and they have not conclude their investigation yet.
Lying and covering up is like when Romney says Jeep will close their factories in America and ship them to China. Because we have an evidence and proof from Chrysler’s CEO that Romney was wrong, either Romney is lying or misinformed. If the latter was correct, he didn’t come out to apologize and correct himself which suggest that he is lying intentionally .

CNN needs a storm every day…..
In fact Chrysler been investing and supporting Ohio since the recovery, Mitt Romney’s lies don’t even make sense :

Sam: Id be careful about calling Romney a liar when we just bailed out China Motors at the expence of the US tax payer. oh did I say China motors I ment Government Motors (just not our Government)

@
We disagree. You can’t find out anything if you don’t ask QUESTIONS. Someone sent Susan Rice out there with those talking points. The corrupt partisan media needs to ask her who. What, they can’t find her? She is the UN Ambassador!
Calling it speculation is lawyer speak. Do you think the corrupt partisan media would be able to find her and ask her questions if she were a Republican?
Susan Rice is the tip of the iceberg. I can think of ten questions that are relevant and haven’t even been asked!!!!!
If the corrupt partisan media did their job on Libya O. would be destroyed and they know it.
