You like it, you love it, you want more of it!

Try YouTube, and listen to the extended version. With pan flute.

Enjoy the Obama kool-aid.
Feel free to post the links to these claims. For example, opposed to nuclear power? Not coming out in strong support of it does not equal opposing it. Emphasizing, in his speeches, other technologies ahead of nuclear is not the same as saying no new plants should be built. Calling for an emphasis on safety, "blah blah blah," is not the same as saying the nuclear power is off the table.

Same with coal. Same with your other issues. Has he changed his emphases and talking points? Sure. But that's not what you're contending. And it's a ridiculous refusal to accept any changes in a plan which has led to the disastrous presidency of George W.

So everyone keeps saying this, that Reid and Pelosi want to push the country far far far to the left. Pray tell, what are those things? What dastardly policy proposals have Reid and Pelosi been urging to pass that have been blocked by the Republican in the White House?

He don't know, like the other 19, he parrots right wing talking points that make no sense

Not blocked - tabled by their own admission until they had enough votes:

H.R. 1022: Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007 (GovTrack.us)

When a .22 is an "assault rifle", I take exception.

  • 300k, 250k, 150k, 120k
If you want to believe any crap this dolt throws out, that is your choice. It is (was) America. I understand the true danger that a combination of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank & a completely Democrat controlled Congress will bring to this country. No worries though, every time the Democrats get this chance, they over reach and blow themselves up. They will again.

By whose admission? I see the bill has 60-some-odd cosponsers, and was tabled in early 2007. Did Pelosi said that would be a priority once she had enough support?

LOL, speaking about people who can't let go of the civil war--maybe this means we'll have "re-enactments."

People can gather at battlefields (also known as a couch in Aunt Judy's basement, since that's where most of the mudslinging came from). They'll wear costumes representing the various sides. Then they can re-enact the strategies of the campaign, sing songs from the era, etc. The highlight will be when everyone sits on a couch, fires up their laptops, and starts slinging birth certificate e-mails at each other.

Bush's daughters were arrested for underage drinking, a matter of public record.

No, extreme anti-Obama is saying he had his grandmother murdered the day before the election, he was born in Kenya, he is a Muslim, a terrorist, things like that.

Good, lord, how far are we going to go back? I was an adult when LBJ was president. Shall we talk about him, too?

People that voted for McCain and people that voted for Obama have different philosophies

The McCoys are going to be shooting at the Hatfields for a while, that's all...
Maybe, Pedro, but here in Colorado people who voted for McCain also voted for Mark Udall (D) for senate, etc.

Whether you like it or not folks...HE IS STILL OUR PRESIDENT and he has only had your best interest and that of our country at heart!
I've been very annoyed over stuff said about Obama, but I haven't said a word about Bush on CD.
