There is a good chance that he won't be around then unless he has a Birth Certificate and some records from colleges that prove he was enrolled as Barack Obama and not Barry Soetoro.

Lately two different judges have gone along with the "Birfers" (I am one of those dumbies) and it doesn't really look good for the other guys unless they can come up with a Certificate that is long form and real.

It turns out that one of the judges realizes that the White House refused to take the legal order that Taitz's representative tried to serve on January 20 and the Obama people will have to answer to that refusal of a court order.

Oh, I forgot, Democrats say that a President (Bush) is not above the law.

In 1994, Carville writes, "things were a lot like they are today. A young, exciting president. Big majorities in Congress. We figured we'd have plenty of time to build the America we wanted. You know what happened next. Fifty-four new Republicans elected in the House. Eight new Republicans elected in the Senate. Our moment of opportunity had passed.

"Republicans are hoping 2010 is the new 1994. But heck, they don't need eight new senators. If they gain just one or two, it's going to be that much easier for them to scuttle vital legislation."

I've been saying this for 5 months. Now your Top Daddy Dog strategist is saying it. I couldn't be laughing any harder right now. The electoral clock is ticking. But you libs go ahead and laugh it off. The laugh will be on you soon enough.

A year before Obama was elected he was one of a crowd, not even a favorite. In politics a year is a life time. If unemployment is still 10%. The mood of the country will change decidedly. Today Buffett said the economy was in shambles. Not encouraging.

If the Senate were 100-0 and the Republicans were unable to find anyone who was willing to run for the seats up for election under their banner (not really such a stretch of the imagination these days), Democratic fundraisers would still be warning of the awful things that might happen if people didn't send in $50.

That this article exists at all is only testimony to the desperation of the right-wing and the same absolute lack of any journalistic standards whatsoever that NewsMax has consistently displayed since the day of its founding.
So, are you saying I souldn't sent $50?

NewsMax is one of the most partisanly dishonest and least reponsible nodes on the disinformation media network. There is rarely if ever an article they publish that is NOT pure propaganda.

Gross misrepresentation.

Today, the right-wing lies in utter tatters and disgrace, their only messages are "tax cuts for the rich" and "no", and what's left of their leaders boils down to a shock-jock and a tabloid queen. Other than that, yeah, this is just like 1994.


Right here. Completing a move out of operations and into policy analysis. All of course related to things you wouldn't understand. And that's not necessarily an insult. Just to note that like some dives, the work has a high degree of difficulty.
Are you saying that "tax and spend" Democrats are all gone? Why I don't think you know about how hard Nasty Nancy and Dirty Harry are working to get cap and tax passed before they take off two weeks for their one day holiday. The damage by that one will have settled in by 2010 and I wonder how many people will be worried about that foolishness then.

You sound like the hippie lefty who told me once that he would have to read his treatise to me because I couldn't understand. My answer to him was "Boy if you wrote it I bet I can read every word of it".
