Fox News is insisting that Romney was correct when he said Obama didn't say Libya was a terrorist attack for days after the incident yet they quote this "..."No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for," Obama said..."

Surely you're not giving him a pass for trying to downplay the attack & deflect responsibility by lying about the reason??

I swear this country truly gets what it deserves, and with sheep and lemmings dutifully recycling one Republocrat for the next one, it can only get worse.


Where did I say anything about the attack itself. The entire point I made was about Romney trying to insist Obama didn't use a WORD, he was proven wrong and Fox News is still insisting Romney was correct. How you got that out of my post is beyond me.



You might be interested in knowing that Obama said this during the debate in case you missed it: "I'm the president and I'm always responsible, and that's why nobody's more interested in finding out exactly what happened than I do," Yeah, so much for your "downplay the attack & deflect responsibility" bullshit.

I'm not team Dem or Republican and I sure as hell don't appreciate being called a sheeple or lemming.

Saint_ I hope you like this. In NYC he's call Mutt Robme. :wah:

This is a good piece on the auto bailout.

Did he use that word or didn't he? Who gives a damn? He and his underlings tried to play off the incident as a spontaneous protest against some stupid movie, all the while knowing that they were lying through their teeth.

My post did look like that was aimed specifically at you. I should've separated it it more from the previous paragraph. I apologize. The line was for those who can't think past dem or repub. Those who think that if they don't vote for the guy who wins then they've wasted their vote - never mind that they don't like, trust, or even agree with him. Those who honestly think that picking the lesser of two evils is a valid way to choose the so-called leader of the free world.

Is that you? I really don't think so, so please accept my apology.

"Binders of women"

The Casper of unfriendly ghosts from the last debate.

Sure, I relate to women, I've got binders full of their profiles and, when I need to look good for the feminist vote, I'll pull one out at random.

My faith in the electoral process may be restored.



Driving back to work at lunch I heard a radio commercial for a local office. It was being done by a republican who had run a few years ago and when he won, he had promised he would only run twice as he felt we needed to keep having fresh ideas. He kept his word and is pretty much one of the most respected ex-politicians in the area.



So, today he is running an ad to endorse a candidate for circuit clerk. He endorsed the democrat. Said that our votes can't always be about republican or democrat, it needs to be about who can best do the job.



Wow.... wonder what the republican guy did to him...:yh_rotfl

We have a couple of judges getting cross-party endorsements. I don't understand who would even want a partisan judge.
