  1. A president who governs in the middle; that's a good thing. Cut them some slack, they're frustrated that their candidates only appeal to the Rock the Chair voters.
  2. I don't root against them and still get frustrated when they lose, but once they're out of the playoff race I fear that if they win the last games, it might make Ralph think they're better than they are and not make the necessary radical changes.
  3. I don't like the loophole they left, "The regulation provides exceptions only for safety or security or if air traffic control advises the pilot in command that returning to the terminal would disrupt airport operations." Having any plane return to the terminal could disrupt operations to some degree.
  4. CNN)– In a late night posting on her Twitter feed, Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin continued to blast climate change believers Friday, calling the talks in Copenhagen, Denmark a representation of man's "arrogance," for believing people have an impact on nature. "Arrogant&Naive2say man overpwers nature," Palin tweeted. "Earth saw clmate chnge4 ions;will cont 2 c chnges.R duty2responsbly devlop resorces4humankind/not pollute&destroy;but cant alter naturl chng," the former Republican vice presidential nominee wrote. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/page/2/ Disregarding her silly statements... Ions?! It's too bad she can't be more proton on the issue instead of being so neutron.
  5. Comedy - Shaun of the Dead Super Hero Movie = Watchmen Action Movie = 300 Animated Film = Justice League: The New Frontier Documetary = Sicko Fiction = Star Trek / District 9 Drama = The Patriot Biggest Disappointment = Superman Returns Overall = The Patriot
  6. The Competitive Enterprise Institute is a public interest group dedicated to free enterprise and limited government. http://cei.org/about In other words, we'll say whatever it takes to make sure nobody threatens the profits of our supporters, regardless of the facts. Just like Pat Buchanan, who last night said that it should be every country for itself when it comes to the environment. I guess some people think that like immigration, you can close the border when it comes to the environment and it will solve all the problems.
  7. As Ralph Kramden once said, "Be kind to the people that you meet on the way up, because you're going to meet the same people on the way down".
  8. Wouldn't have happened if we had stayed out of Iraq and left them with their army as a strong counter force to Iranian influence in the region. Now they can't even defend their own oil fields. More consequences of a war of bad choice.
  9. My favorite part of WCW was when Hall and Nash started up the NWO and broke kayfabe. It was such a departure from the old school programming. Of course my memories go back to watching the WWF on Sunday mornings before having to go to church, with the theme song 'Classical Gas' and Vince McMahon doing the announcing. Polish Power Ivan Putski, The Grand Wizard, and Haystacks Calhoon. But the original ECW that was on late night on weekends was where you saw the most 'Holy s#@t!' moments. Sabu, The Sandman, and Rob Van Dam.
  10. When it comes to health care, "denied" means the same as can't afford it.
  11. The last Quinnipaic poll shows that Lieberman isn't even representing the majority view of his own state in regards to a public option. Of course I'm sure the insurance companies in Conn. are happy with him. 64. Do you support or oppose giving people the option of being covered by a government health insurance plan that would compete with private plans? .......................Tot.....Rep.....Dem....Ind.....Men....Wom Support...........56%.....28%...76%....54%....54%....57% Oppose............37........68......14.......41.......39.......35 DK/NA...............8..........5......10........6.........7.........8 http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1296.xml?ReleaseID=1395
  12. It's another weak attempt to equate health insurance reform with death panels to scare the uninformed.
  13. Too bad for you that she beat out your two favorites; Lady Gaga and Sarah Palin.
  14. When you know the policies are correct, you don't have to constantly defend them. Insecurity or a lack of confidence in the direction of an administration compells some to go on the defensive. Unlike the right with Bush, I'm confident in the current policy directions, and therefore don't really worry about the right thinks. Debate wouldn't change your views anyways, so why bother. Since you asked, I always supported the war in Afghanistan, and still do. And we now are in the process of moving combat forces out of Iraq and closing Gitmo, where previously there was no such committment. If Gitmo was handled properly in the past, the detainees would have already faced some form of justice, and it would be a moot point now. Sheehan's main gripe was with Iraq, which I agreed was the wrong war at the wrong time. If she thinks we should get out of Afghanistan, then I disagree with her on that seperate issue. And I've never had a problem with gov't spending, and realize that much of the current spending is to get us out of a historic recession and prevented a depression. Cutting taxes while paying for two wars was stupid, but the problem there was reducing the income, not the spending (I opposed the Iraq invasion, but supported spending for the military to maximize their abilities). My only issue is the hypocracy of the Republicans and their supporters who scream about spending now that they're out of power, but did nothing to stop it and increased it when they were in power. Most of the Republicans in Congress who now complain were there when they were increasing the spending.
  15. Just as much as you believe your bull, bub. Many of those independents are just Republicans who turned in their cards, given that only 22% of people now identify themselves as Republicans. So I don't worry about those skewed independent numbers. The gain in independents is offset by the loss of Republicans, so in the end they're the same group of voters.
  16. At this time in their 1st terms Bush 41 was at 71% and lost reelection, and Clinton was at 53% and Reagan was at 49% and both won reelection. People are frustrated that the problems that accumulated over the past decade can't be quickly fixed, but as health insurance reform passes, the economy improves, and progress is made in Afghanistan, his numbers will stabilize and improve. Short term thinking is what got us into many of the problems that are now being solved with long term solutions.
  17. It loses points for having hotties for wives instead of the more realistic looking ones that drive men to other distractions.
  18. The new coach will come from the UFL.
  19. He's going to come back to Buffalo...in the last game when the Colts sit Manning and let JP get some game time against the Bills.
  20. I sat in the audience once when I was a kid. On the right side of the studio was the Rocketship 7 set, and the Dialing for Dollars set was on the opposite side. I was a little disappointed at how simple the set really was. And I spilled my bottle of orange soda on myself.
  21. What's happened to Lee Evans, he's completely disappeared from the offense.
  22. Canada will close the border next year to prevent the continued importing of an inferior product.
  23. I'm watching the game live off this site: http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-nfl.html
  24. Really? How about the Patriot Act, preemptive invasion based predetermined conclusions, and torturing captured enemies? Were those S.O.P. throughout our history?
  25. Check how many times you've posted in this thread compared to me, and then tell me who's obsessing.
