Barack Does Hollywood

too bad i couldn’t attend…

he being for the ‘average person’, i thought barko said $28.50-a-plate…

You’d think actors would know one when they see one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk_fPi-24Iw

Tim Gunn should host the debates.

I don’t buy into hype and celebrity status. I just remember that it’s all make believe and these people live in an entirely different world. They’ve got tons of money so they could care less if Obama is tied to lobbyists and Wall St. people who have created this mortgage and economic catastrophe. It’s not going to hurt them.

Most celebrities don’t have a lick of sense anyway so take their opinions w a grain of salt.

I guess if you are rich like these folks it does not matter that BO intends to tax the folks who have any money at all and give it to the people who don’t. If BO wins and he puts in place all of the give-aways he has proposed I will stop working and get on the Obama trillion dollar gravy train. There is no way to pay for what he had promised to win the election. BO is the sleaziest candidate that has ever run for president of the USA.

Wow! Will wonders ever cease? Glenn Beck just had a positive segment about Palin and McCain. I hope a lot of people saw it. CNN/HLN. I think there’s a replay at midnight, est

Oscar Levant (does anyone besides me remember him?) said:

“Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you find the real tinsel underneath.”

“I guess if you are rich like these folks it does not matter that BO intends to tax the folks who have any money at all and give it to the people who don’t.”

OF COURSE IT DOESN’T… ALL THEIR MONEY IS OFF-SHORE IN SWISS BANKS.

THE ONES BARKO WILL TAX ARE THE MIDDLE-CLASS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN!

Celebs are beginning to make me sick. I for one will not spend any more money on movies. I will not buy for my gd any more cds.

LOL.

BITTER MUCH.

(the McCain bounce is over)

Obama for our economic future.

Oh, and Jimmy Carter was a great Democratic President.

If you’re gonna keep trying to parade around as “Democrats”, you should probably realize that most Democrats don’t agree with the Republican controlled media’s decision that he was a terrible President.

He wasn’t.

Fantastic.

Chill.

That comes the last two weeks before the election.

Replace Barko with McCain and you actually have the truth!

GASP.

Just a question.

Are you guys for regulation, or deregulation in the economy?

Or are you just confused like John McBush.

DEREGULATION HAS FAILED.

whoops.

Thirty years of Republican Economic theory down the drain.

I liked it better when Bubba was in the White House.

Good thing he supports my candidate.

Good thing he supports me.

I rarely go to movies anyway but I do love music. However, anyone supporting Obama gets no more of my money.

Jimmy Carter was a great president?

Wow…you do realize the entire mess in the middle east was pushed past the tipping point to creatin as a result of his administrations idiotic policies?

Just be saying Jimmy Carter was a great President you have essentially self trepinated your own integrity.

As far as the McCain/Palin post convention bounce…not bad at all 2.5 weeks vs Obama’s post convention bounce…2.5 days.

If you expect the polls to do anything but fluctuate between now and election day, you are a political rube.

Make sure to come back election night.

btw, the democrats are the ones that created the whole Fannie Freddie Mess. Yeah Obama for our economic future is like handing out razor blades to baloon animals.

Are you and JM08 the same person?

Dude…haven’t you noticed? Obama is a NEOCON.

i stopped YEARS ago… good on you!

only in america do athletes, actors, and singers make such ‘gross’ money…

You do understand the difference between de-regulation and ethical reform?

oh never mind. Ignore the Troll.

I can’t watch that much of The One, I’ll throw up, sorry.

Doesn’t he realise that when he’s rambling on about how “we” (and who the hell does he mean by “we’?) “made it” that he’s still dissing Hillary and her supporters? Why can’t he just talk about why people should vote for him? Maybe he can’t figure that out himself.

hahahahahahahha

THAT’S FUNNY

I thought he was a socialist.

Whoops.

I’ve been listening to Sean Hannity interviewing Governor Sarah Palin on his show this evening. It’s quite refreshing to have a professional interview. She is very focused and providing indepth answers and insights on the discussion they’re having about the economy. I especially liked the part where she was talking about cleaning up Washington and mentioned there are too many people with OPM addictions. She clarified saying OPM = Other People’s Money. Obama had an OPM addiction problem big time.

Breaking: Donald Trump just endorsed McCain on Larry King.
I was shocked because he is not a fan of Bush.
The mystery resovled when he stated that he did not understand
why CLINTON is not our nominee.
Donald Trump is a PUMA!

Clintons do not really support this fraud. They have to look like they do or Hillary’s 2012 campaign will not happen. Don’t you get this get? Yikes.

socialism failed, too. barko’s gotta do better than that…

Wait, so McCain was never for deregulation?

hahahahahhaha

SOMEBODY BETTER LET PHIL GRAHAM NO

HES GONNA BE PIIIISSEEDDDDDD

OH SNAP

THIS MADE MY DAY!!!! WOOHOO!

You know how I know you’re a republican?

YOU’RE ON NO QUARTER.

I think our oll-tray is unk-dray.

Wooohooo!

I just heard on Hannity a Congresswoman Diana Degette from Obama’s camp saying that over 2 years ago that Barack Obama introduced a bill to reform the Housing …. Fannie and Freddie….???

What bill did he introduce? Does anyone know?

Hillary 2012

But any way it goes

the fraudulent One must be sent on his way to restore the Democratic Party.

Wow. Two Billionares endorsed him on one day?

GREAT DAY FOR OBAMA.

Latest polls in Ohio show a sharp split occuring: wealthier voters are moving steadily towards McCain, while lower-income voters are fast moving towards Obama.

That’s a losing cause for you Reuthgs!

Soorryyyyy.

I have been a Democrat for 30 years and I am on here. Granted, I am now officially an Independent now, but sometimes it comes down to actions vs words and character vs non character. That is why I am voting McCain/Palin. It should been Hillary, but second best is McCain.

Yup.

Democrats <3 bigot Sean Hannity.

Hows Hal Turner doing?

How old are you? Carter is a good man, was a terrible president. No wonder you support Obama.

This was a good interview. To nitpick, she should slow down a bit and make her answers shorter. But, in any case, it was definitely better than Gibsons, so far it is detailed, and respectful.

And for full disclosure, I had to as usual hold back my gagging. It definitely is sobering and ruins my evening to watch or listen to Chickenhawk Hannity.

[ADMINISTRATOR: Comment removed for inappropriate content.]

Yup. Ok. Whatever you say.

How’s the economy doing under Republican control?

It must be nice to not have to worry about losing your home and your savings because of failed Republican policies opposed by Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton to Hillary Clinton to James Carville to ANYONE YOU’VE SUPPOSEDLY EVER VOTED FOR FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS.

It shouldn’t have been anyone. We vote in this country. Nothing “should be”.

WOulda coulda shoulda. Shoulda spent less time on this site and more time registering Hillary voters.

We all worked our assess off. That’s why we won. That’s why we’re gonna win.

When will you stop being bitter and realize that we just outplayed you.

I guess that makes you a republican “Jon”.

Obama trolls never add anything intelligent to the conversation. They use cliches and say other stupid shit. I have never watched Obama read from a teleprompter. In his hollywood fundraiser did he offer any details to his plan for the economy?? No, I’m sure he didn’t.

OH SnAP

YOU’RE RIGHT.

[ERASED FOR VULGARITY BY ADMINISTRATOR]

I will recycle and add to a comment I made below as it seems fitting here…

Obama does not know himself… he has some vaguely good ideas, but his problem is that he has not had time to refine and define his positions or platform through experience. He will not win on his message because he does not quite know himself yet. This is observed when one see’s him go off message and make exceptionally wide flip flops…(AIPAC and FISA come to mind)

He did become a celebrity in the Democratic Party. He has had too many advisers and not enough time actually working in the trenches to help him discover his depth and commitments. That is why he comes across as an empty suit, he is one.

I do not know one coddled celebrity that I would trust to have my back. They are too spoiled and petulant, everything is about how the world is according to them. They loose their compassion and disconnect from the realities everyday people face.

Obama’s world view is that there are the little people and then there are the people that support him. I think the exception to this would be the AA community that supports him. IMO, he completely takes them for granted, and just as he did not take care of the South Side AA constituents in Chicago, he will do the same nothing for the AA community in Washington.

Je did not, this was actually a group of mostly republicans that tried. Just go to the senate site, and search for the bill with a search name, and you should find it, it was posted on some threads here last night, sorry. tired brain tonight.

[ADMINISTRATOR: Comment removed for inappropriate content.]

OH SNAP.

I’m not for Obama by any means, but I agree with you on one thing: I’m pretty damned sick of a site that is supposed to be populated by Hillary Democrats CONASTANTLY bashing Carter and licking McCain and Palin up and down.

And blathering on and on about how Obama is a “Socialist.” If he were a Socialist, I’d be voting for him! He’s a Corpo-Fascist.

Hooray.

I love you Kathy.

At least you admit you’re a neo con and you’re not ashamed of it.

Thanks for ruining our country. really appreciate it.

Nuh uh! Democratic socialism works a heck of a lot better than whatever we have. The quality of life in the other industrialized nations is far better than ours. Even poor Cuba has a health care systemn that nearly matches ours—quite an argument for socialism, if you think about it.

I rest my case…..

I suggest a lobotomy after that shower.

I’m a Hillary supporter, a McCain supporter, and a former Democrat now registered as a Republican. What’s your point? Any party stupid enough to shove a silly, phony, extremist figurehead down our throats as their Presidential candidate deserves a mass exile to the Repubs and Independents.

Er…you kinda need one now. They asked me to tell you.

Uh, sorry hunny. COMMUNISM failed.

Socialism is alive an well.

And providing millions with better health care than we have here in the grand old USA.

Quick search of Thomas reveals no Bills introduced by Obama re: regulating Fannie and/or Freddie. McCain otoh …

Just watched Palin on Fox. As I said in Alaska, just a blizzard of words. She’s saying nothing of substance. She couldn’t even connect on Hannity’s softballs. What a joke!

The dog killer is going to get eaten alive by Katie Couric on the 29th. Biden will pick at the bones of whatever’s left of her.

McCain did not choose wisely.

Karl Rove’s getting really pissed at Alan Colmes on Fox right now. His fat face is turning red. He knows you guys are going down!

They do what Obots always do: they bait us. Obamites are the guys who used to torture animals.

Did you guys see Pelosi talk against “the Bush campaign”? Man!!! What is it with these Democratic elites? They’ve lost twice against Bush and they want to do it one more time???

Sorry, Cindy’s with John tonight.

OH SNAP.

Polls don’t respond the same day. You get the full effect three days later idiot.

These polls are showing the nonstop attacks on Palin from last week and through the weekend.

The stock market will begin to show up tomorrow.

Seriously. i understand that after 2.5 weeks of shitting your pants you are excited because you suddenly think your Pod Leader is going to win, but its a long way to november.

The Harder They Come The Harder They Fall…. ( with lyrics )

Well, they tell me there’s a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you’re born and when you die
No one ever seems to hear you cry

But as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share of what’s mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all (Ohh, ohh, ohh)
I said the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all

I said the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
But they think they’re gonna have the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done

But as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share of what’s mine
I said the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all (Ohh, ohh, ohh)
I said the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Break it down!

Well, I try to do the things that I want
Cause when you’re dead, you know that you can’t
I’d rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share right of what’s mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all (Ohh, ohh, ohh)
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all (Yeah, yeah-ah-ah)
I said the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all

In case you were wondering, there was nothing in Palin’s e-mails that was incriminating, according to the hacker who first got in there.

Anyone saying Jimmy Carter was a great President was obviously not alive or conscious during those years. His great windfall profits tax encouraged less domestic production, and we waited in lines for gas for hours. I got my first home mortgage during those years, a whopping 15.4% interest. So please understand that anyone who states that Jimmy Carter was a great President is totally undermining any credibility he may have had in this community.

I saw my posts were deleted. I apologize. I forgot we are not allowed to quote the internals of every poll out there that says blacks are voting for obama 96%

Both Obama and Tom Friedman have made the same point in different ways.

Obama during his rock star Germany appearance and Friedman within a Discovery doc questioning if Europe hate us.

Nah, the hollywood wannabe’s gave Obama enough money last night to pay the trolls for another week, pay the pollsters off again and finance more of Axelrod’s lies and deceptions.

Incredible how those same hollywood wannabe’s keep speaking out against the war and then give a total jerk who attempted to keep the troops there till after Jan 20th for political gain $9 million, what a bunch of pathetic hypocrits!

Whatsa matter, Jon, sewers overflowing in Cheetopia tonight?

you forgot ex-politicians…

Good video, now we all know why they went under as the man said they have given more money than anyone to minorities and low income earners, too many NINJA Loans, no income, no jobs, no assets loans, now the taxpayers have to feel the bounce to bail these fools out.

Obama will not say a word on this because his policy is once you are well off you are supposed to carry the rest, does not matter if you got off your butt and worked hard for what you have now, nope its time to take your hard earn money and help yes once again all the minorities and lower income people.

I would imagine that after all of the OH SHIT moments we have had from barack Obama this bast 9 months, that all his supporters are informed that extra underwear is required.

Out, out, damned Bot.

Where are the 527 attacks on Obama? Where are the secrets that were supposed to be uncovered? It’s mid-september and not a peep about Obama’s past since the primaries with Hillary?

Why are the Republicans keeping so quiet?

Greta just talking about Sarah Palin’s e-mail being hacked, and Gloria Allred on saying she better have been doing state business on state e-mail sites because those e-mails are archived. Really? Does that hold true for state senators as well? Seems Obama can’t find any records or correspondence or any paperwork from 8 years in the Illinois Senate. Is Gloria saying state paperwork should be archived? Hm-m-m-m.

And yet I’m still wearing clean underwear…and we’er only 50 days away.

Honestly, poeple polled have shown time and again they trust mccain.
When things are bad they will go with who they trust. Also, obama just looks hysterical.
He is knee deep with Fannie and Fredie. Their “Family” after all.

So rich folks gave him $28,500 for him to talk about his impending doom in the election.

I want my refund back. LOL!

PUMA 2008!

Nope. They were students.

Typing angry anti-Obama messages on No Quarter doesn’t exactly ACCOMPLISH much.

SO, please continue. You’re lack of activity is helping us.

Ummm … I lived through his presidency. He was indeed a terrible president. Just like Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter was an idealistic neophyte that was in way over his head as president.

Impressive! #1,2 and 3 Dodd, Obama, Kerry. Wow! Favorite politicians of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Gee Barack goes to the land of decadence Hollywood and what does he bring back to the blog? A shitload of grade B trolls.

Can someone explain what is wrong with the Green Party. Why are people not going there way. I dont understand this flocking to McCain. I would rather throw my vote away on the thrid party then vote Republican. Cynthia McKinney / Rosa Clemente

I want to see if they are going to do anything about the hacking of the governor mail, that group should be tossed in jail.

This election is getting scarier by the minute, I just cant believe what I am seeing as regards to this election, it may be the most expensive election in our history but its also the nastiest.

Thank you, Jon!!

make sure to be here election nite for the returns

WOW what was on that menu lol

No he offered them candy bars…

Jon, you are looking more foolish with every post you type. How long have YOU been a Democrat?

Look a$$ wipe, you and most everyone knows that at least 20% of the Dems will not vote for Blobama so keep buying those votes as you will need them.

Since I didn’t want to throw up, I didn’t watch the coverage of the DNC. Where was Carter? I didn’t hear anything? Why would we not hear of a Democratic ex-President during the DNC. I think Obaby’s fawning over Reagan was a terrible think to do in regard to Carter.

Carter is a very good man, and I didn’t mind him as a President at all. I do clearly remember listening to the “malaise” speech. I do not remember thinking, “Gee, I wish he were more upbeat and happy–You know, don’t worry, be happy.” I did think it captured the mood of the country at the time.

Reagan’s interfering in the Mid-East situation at that time is similar to O’s now.

I can’t really think of the major good works that recent Repub ex-Presidents have done, but I can think of what Carter and Clinton have done.

It almost appears to me that we’ve warped into an alternate universe in which the Democratic nominee now acts like a Republican and the Republican acts like a Democrat in many way.

Every try to buy gas or food or housing in a socialist country?

(It’s because 90% of the people on this site were ALWAYS voting for McCain, and the rest have been convinced by the Hillary “supporters” i.e. lying Repulicans) that McSame isn’t that bad.

It really is an intersting dynamic they have going on in this blog. Been studying it for awhile.

What no summer camp in Remote Afgahnistan this year for you?

I am so with you in that.

*Ever* …

I want to see if they are going to do anything about the hacking of the governor mail, that group should be tossed in jail.

Don’t hold your breath on any action being taken. I’m afraid our government has become the modern equivalent of the government of Sodom and Gomorrah. Look what happened to Larry Sinclair. It is almost certain he was for a short time a political prisoner.

I especially liked the teleprompter at the rodeo. Wild Bill Blobama…….

That is complete and utter bullshit. The economies of Europe totally stagnated under “democratic socialism” in the 1970′s. Yet that is precisely the direction in which Barack Obama would steer our economy. The fundamental truth has always been, and will always be, that individual citizens operating in a free market employ resources much more efficiently than governments do. That’s why we ultimately won the Cold War.

What we’re seeing in the financial markets today is the product of naked greed on the part of both lenders AND homebuyers, coupled with outdated regulation that was selectively applied in concert with a misguided federal reserve policy that provided wasy money to fuel an unsustainable speculative bubble in real estate prices. It is NOT any any sort of systemic “failure of capitalism”.

John McCain sounded the alarm on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2005, but nobody wanted to listen, including the congressional Democrats (like Barack Obama) who were the primary protectors of those two companies.

And if the quality of life in Europe is so much better than here, why do so so many more immigrants want to get to the USA than anywhere else? Besides, European and Scandinavian economies have long had a hidden benefit of the security umbrella provided by, and disporportionately paid by, the United States.

cynthia mckinney? oh please.

I trust McCain he has served this country with conviction since he was 17.
He has fought the good fight and passed tough laws to help with government.
It makes no sense to vote for green party anyhow. I wouldn’t vote for their candidate regardless but green party will not win. Or any other third party.
That is sad, but out of all the candidates independant or not McCain is the guy i trust and believe in.
He is going to win our wars and turn the economy around.

What the hell is a candiadte?

You are WAY OFF base. Go read the Archives. A vast majority of the commenters here are Clinton supporters now turned McCain supporters. If you actually read the comments and the posts you’ll see the folks here are not necessarily Republicans.

Suggestion: Why don’t you take a few minutes to read some archives before trolling the site with off-the-wall talking points and baseless accusations.

That’s an interesting point. I was all the way for Hillary during the primaries but was ready to back Obama (now I am not so sure about that) over McCain even though I dont have strong feelings for either man. I have been checking out the Green Party web site alot lately and it just made me wonder with two women on their ticket why more of the women that are upset having checking into their party platform. I am not saying vote for the green party but at least look into it.

Maybe they meant candy ass?

Can we take a vote on it Susan? Perhaps allow Democracy to rule this one time?

Allow me to be the first to say: HANG HIM!

hehe

Please explain how the bombastic Hannity is a bigot… He is one of the few men in the media that is actually bringing up issues that should be discussed for a change…

Now it is Keith O and Tweety that have earned the low spot in the MSM game, just change the description to sexist shill, and there you have those two men that pretend to be journalists.

Likewise, this is pure bullshit. The US has the best healthcare available anywhere in the world. Why do you think that citizens of Canada and Europe come to the US to get treatment so often?

If you get a chance, talk to a citizen of Canada or Great Britain and ask them what they think of “univerasl health care”.

Granted, there are things we need to do here to make health insurance more affordable, such as eliminating the outdated prohibition on insurance companies selling coverage to people out of their home state. But “socialized medicine” is most certainly NOT the answer.

cynthia mckinney? oh please.

Hey I am just asking. Whats wrong with the Green Party

That’s pure crap. Never happened.

Ignore Jon, he just got his driver’s license.

OK so they wont win….. I just thought more women whould have at least checked into it.

His “study” of the blog is the usual troll talking point and the 90% figure gives a certain bozoesque flair to this troll. )

I see Obama is going to spend 34 mil to get the FL vote, is it not funny he was the one that did not want to recognize the FL vote, now he is going all out throwing money left, right and center to get Floridians to vote for him.

Someone need to remind Obama that the FL vote is not for sale, they were telling him that months ago but he just did not want to listen then.

Probably by sending it to the DNC, not directly to Obama’s campaign.

I have 5 things i want everyone to keep in mind.

1. In a year when any generic democratic candidate is polling at 10 points higher than a generic republican candidate for president, Obama is neck and neck with McCain.

2. In a year when 90% of the press is fawning coverage on barack obama and constantly attacking anyone who dares question him or potentially get in his way, Barack obama is neck and neck with John McCain.

3. In a year when Hillary Clinton, the most qualified individual presented by either party was pushed out of the race because of her supposed high negatives, Barack Obama is running neck and neck with John McCain.

4. Barack Obama consistantly polls higher than his actual vote turnout with late deciders.

5. The Bradley Effect which really should be renamed, The “I don’t want to be harassed and Called a Racist” effect.

All four of my grandparents escaped when they could from Stalin’s socialism. Many, many more of my people–the Volga Germans and the Bessarabian Germans–were starved by the idiocy of socialist policies.

Socialism is not attuned to the normal psychology of humans.

We need a good public school system and a good public health care system, but we need to work on making these systems really fit the ideals of our democratic government–that is assuming we really have such a system.

After the primary, I am really quite convinced we do not have one. We have Comrades Pelosi, Dean, Reid, and (gag) Brazile as our supposed intelligentsia and vanguard.

I am very afraid if that kind of stupidity is in charge. It’s as bad as the Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld triumverate.

Chicago Joe, the candidate is the problem for one.

I don’t care about the party i care about the candidate. The person is what is important to me. Green,Constitition,Libertarian, Democratic, or republican party does not matter.

But you have to put your money on a winner to. A 3rd party is not going to win. The big 2 have a monopoly on the country. Especially when a guy who could ruin the nation like obama, if you do not want him in then you go with the other guy who has a shot.

McCain has more than a shot and i would vote for him over any in the dems field this year aside from Hillary.

Jimmy Carter is a good man. His presidency was a disaster that resulted in 12 straight years of Republican hegemony. The Republican’s grip on power was not broken until BILL CLINTON was elected President.

Yeesh.

That was a plant on an Obama blog. Some mischievous poster pointed it out earlier today. I don’t remember which thread.

Someone took the bait and once again, claimed an accomplishment that was not theirs to claim.

John McCain was a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190.

Yes All this Carter bashing is bullshit by utter fucking fools.

Too young to remember the times or Republican trolls, don’t know which.

Price of the meal.

Paul3triple

Thanks I asked for an answer and you gave me one. I agree that 3rd parties dont have a shot. If something like this year hasnt helped them you maybe right and we maybe stuck with a 2 party monopoly. It’s just me I guess. I have a hard time voting for a Republican.

Now that’s funny.

And I don’t think you are a troll at all.

You might even be here to help some of the fools here think clearly.

Many got strange hard heads though.

Might take some time.

Try going to swapaCD.com and swapaDVD.com to exchange your CDs and DVDs for others. You might find some good CDs/DVDs and get rid of ones you’re tired of.

If we had paid more attention to Carter, we might have already been way ahead in terms of working on the environmental problems, too. He was far more forward thinking about that than he is given credit for–people just like to act smart and talk about his sweaters.

What state would give him a license?

I don’t have a hard time voting repubican.
I used to be a democrat til the end of the primary.
Keep in mind that McCain was often called the democrats favorite republican. He passed comprehensive Bi-partisan campaign finance reform.
It took them years and he stuck to it against all of the entrenched interests. Immigration he fought hard for it. Harder than any republican and most democrats. He worked with Bill Clinton giving him cover politically to normalize relation with the Vietnamese. He was against reagan sending troops to Beirut becuase it was the wrong thing to do. And unfortunatly quite a few of them died.
He risked his candidacy to fight for the surge and becuase of that the Iraqi poeple are on the streets safely. Al-Anbar province where there was expressed to be no hope from some democrats is now in the power of the iraqi poeple. He fought Abramoff for his corruption. He fought big tobacco. He voted against the Dick Cheney Oil give away.
DRILL BABY DRILL

Those are just some of the reasons a democrat could vote John McCain.
He also has good policy. Go to his site and read them forget the spin from the left. And read economists they say his plans are better. His energy plan is superb. It is much more ambitious and sensible.

Carter did some good things as president, but on national security he could not make a decision, and he allowed the hostages to become a big problem. The press did not play fair (Nightline followed that every night,) but a politician’s job is — within a reasonable extent — to ride and manage public opinion and get out in front of it. Carter also did not work with his Democratic allies in Congress.

Mondale said that any time somebody told Carter – this would help you politically – then Carter didn’t want to do it. At first glance, that makes Carter look like an upstanding guy. But you need political capital to get things done.

Because of Carter, we were stuck with St. Ronnie for eight long years.

Charlie, push your glasses off the edge of your nose…

What you described to me was Obama speaking eloquently without at teleprompter, minus the umms, errs an ahs…

Carter is an excellent public servant. But he was not good at being president.

That’s kind of the point. The little wanker is all things to all people and nothing to everyone.

You know how I know you’re a republican?

YOU’RE ON NO QUARTER.

So are you.

I love the Talking Heads…

I’m guessing you weren’t here during the Plame Outing. Republicans wanted to off Larry. I adore him.

I think Jon is undercover black man

I was alive and conscious. I didn’t say he was the greatest President, but I didn’t find it harder to live during his presidency than I did through Reagan’s. And I also did admire many things about his character. He inherited much that was started before his presidency. He tried never to do government business the “Washington way,” and so was drummed out of Washington. What are we all griping about now but trying to change the culture of Washington.

If I should leave this community, I will. But I will not try to put down others or use vulgarities.

We all have diferent perspectives.

So long!

Thank you!!!!!

Fk you ass go live in Cuba then and don’t go calling mommy and daddy when Castro bends you over and then makes you work in a cane field. You know shit about the world – NOTHING.

JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY

NO OBAMA
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008
HILLARY WAS THE ONE OBAMA IS THE “TROPHY WIFE”

Obama’s opening line “I’d like to thank THE OTHER ENTERTAINERS” meaning HIMSELF as one is HILLARIOUS!

AMERICA REBUKE OBAMA!

yeah and nagin in no was having a fundraiser for obama while the people in houston who helped his sorry axx and new orleans after katrina were suffering. hey thanks barrack and nagin. go take a look at what the people in houston think of you in the houston chronicle blogs. they despise you nagin. and you too barrack! you won’t win texas.

You are so full of shit. That may have been true 10 years ago but as someone who has access to both, American medicine is only great if you can afford to pay up front. Otherwise, it’s the insurance companies that decide your medical treatment. My European family get much better healthcare for less money and in a more timely manner. I have very expensive insurance, damn near 15,000 bucks a year and I’m begging for treatment after my doctoer was kicked out of network, one day after I had a $116,000 back fusion surgery. They don’t even fuse backs in Europe anymore because of the new artificial discs. Much cheaper and better recovery time. But because everyone in America with disc problems could benefit from them, my doctor said they’d put insurance companies out of business, they are deemed experimental, even though they’ve been doing them in Europe for over 15 years. Face it. Some fuckwad with barely a college education in a cubicle is deciding YOUR healthcare.

cynthia does not need to be president. she makes some good points at times but other times? no thanks

heh… :0

Pussy. God I hate wimpy men.

Is that all Hollywood could come up with?

I thought Palin did a good interview with Hannity and he was obviously respectful of her. Karl Rove had some great insights and he unloaded some heavy artillery on what was really happening at Fannie/Freddie and the Democratic responsibiity for it. He made Alan Combs look like an ass as he in fact is. She and McCain did have a good day on the campaign trail and she got in some good lines at the townhall meeting with McCain—on Fox of course, you would not have seen that perspective any other place. The hacking incident is not going to hurt her but probably help. Most people are like me; I want to be able to use the internet in peace and those little dinkies who think it is cute to hack and spread viruses get no sympathy from me. I hope they are caught and serve the maximum federal (1 yr) and maximum Alaska(5 yr ) time consecutive sentences in a cell with #2 pencil stubs.

Oregon poll today: Obama lead is down to a 4 point lead. It was as high as 15.

Once again, Obama allows the AA community to be exploited.

you’re right. my bad…

I remember the gas lines and stations running out of gas with Carter…

I’m afraid you might sue the government over a paper cut.
Strawberry and I know that you could do a good job picking up trash here on Capital hill Seattle.

Jm08, give it a rest.

“Socialism is alive an well.”

yes it is… and it has failed… just take a look at the inner-cities…

“Please explain how the bombastic Hannity is a bigot…”

to an obot, to be ‘open and fair-minded’ is be to ‘bigoted’…

I’ve never understood Streisand’s musical appeal. (She was appealing, though, in What’s Up Doc.)

I’m exceedingly irritated by Carter’s not-so-subtle support of Obama and his subsequent dismissal of Hillary. Actually, I now think he’s a poor judge of character and ability.

That’s witty!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING….

Carter was a terrible President but a good man.

Et Tu ?

Your circular logic is frightfully droll. Reminds me of the child in the playground trying to hurt feelings just to feel powerful.

And seeing those US embassy staffers tied and blindfolded daily on the tv for the better part of a year. And watching Carter go gray in the course of a year. I agree, Carter is a good man, he meant very well. I believe that. But, he should have never And the US being called a “paper tiger” by the Ayatollah. been President. Having said that… in all respect he should also quit trying to be an ex-president.

I am without doubt this is being handled as a security breach by the Secret Service and as a VP candidate, Palin has their protection. Most likely, somebody launched an automated robot at Palin’s Yahoo account simply brute force guessing her password until it was guessed right. No doubt Yahoo has traffic logs which will show thousands of failed login attempts for that account. The question is… how would the hackers know the account name. So, somebody who knew her account name gave the information to the hacker group… either directly or indirectly. Maybe the airdropped investigators uncovered the account name, maybe Palin sent information to the media on that account. The thing is, Yahoo will be subpoenaed and they will turn their traffic logs to law enforcement. These logs will show the failed password attempts and they will stand out. Nothing done online is completely in private or cannot be traced. If the threat is worth the cost of tracing it, it will be traced. I expect whoever did this will be in an orange jump suit shortly.

I see your true colors, troll, now that you have shown them.

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with you that deregulation has turned us into damned near a banana republic.

Funny how there are a lot of people here who think it was the greatest human innovation since white bread.
Must not be Democrats.

I live in a very red area in a battleground state(Virginia), so I am in contact with a lot of Republicans. We work together on various projects (building libraries, saving historical sites, coaching sports, etc.) They know my politics; I know their politics; they know I will never vote for their candidate, unless it advances my perceived interests; and they know the same. We both do interesting things in open primaries and statewide elections, occasionally.

We both take politics seriously, but we also joke about it too. You cannot imagine the hilarious day after election phone calls that occur-sympathy,condolences, congratulations, all delivered with crocodile tears, and more than a bit of snark. I imagine this happens in a lot of other states too.

Virginia is a complex state. In 1988 we elected the first black governor since Reconstruction, L. Douglas Wilder; in 2006, we kicked out Wilder’ successor as governor, George Allen. Allen was by then a US Senator with presidential ambitions. Allen’s fall from grace was precipitated by a racial slur against an American Sikh who was working for the opposition campaign.

Finally, there is the issue of authenticity. I had a chance to meet George Allen in 1986 thereabouts, when he was running for the Va House of Delegates. He was standing 25 feet away smirking and talking loudly to 3 or 4 people. I watched and listened for about 2 minutes. A local political worthy asked me if I would like to meet Mr. Allen. I said “No, I don’t have time. I have to get back to work.” I imagine the same would happen if I had an up close look and hear with Obama. Of course I doubt that I would ever want Obama within 25 feet of me.

With McCain and Palin, it’s different.
While I abhor much of their political-economic philosophy, and would never vote for them for that reason, I recognize them as genuine people. I would enjoy having them in my kitchen for breakfast, congratulate them on their achievements, and pick their brains a bit.

I might even learn something.

Jon, be a good lad and take your nerf ball over to the corner. YOU NEED A TIME-OUT!

A conflicted man cannot know who he is. And 0bama is conflicted. His is a struggle against a circumstance beyond his control… his heritage. And he had to do it without the guidance of a father who who might have helped him navigate the 2 worlds of his heritage. He’s been alone in a struggle of identity and it’s caused him to reject one half of himself in favor of a half that is in reality alien to him.

The AA experience is perecieved by 0bama in the abstract because he has never lived it. And I believe his resentments stem from the fact that he is forced by the dictates of society to be something that is essentially alien to him.

This is where it gets tricky. 0bama’s personality would be the same even if he was one race or the other. Some people simply have to carry the alabatross of alienation around their necks. 0bama’s has been weighted down with racism.

It would be curious to know what kind of child he was before his grandfather thought it was a good idea to expose him to Frank Marshall Davis. Whether this man molested him or not, I think it’s clear that he influenced 0bama at an impressionable age. And not for the better. I don’t think 0bama has it in his nature to be friendly and receptive to friendships. So I think ‘Uncle Frank’ might have heightened his awareness of racial attitudes, which only served to make him suspicious and even more alienated.

How does a chld grow up without at least one best friend, a constant playmate, a companion? Even if you do in fact lose touch as the years go by as often people do. To me this indicates that he felt ‘different’ to a hyper-sensitive degree. And this is what over time has contributed to what we perceive as his arrogance, his elitism, his total lack of empathy.

He really is the center of his own Universe. He really does view the world from the standpoint of the little people versus the ones with power. And without question, he really feels above any of it, better than others. And what better job to have than POTUS? Or so he believes. That he could possibly be striving for this office because he believes it would ensconce him in a bubble where he could exude contempt from a distance makes him dangerously naive and completely unfit for the job.

Ultimately, this is a personality that should not be in public service. Running for office requires not just a lust for power, but a genuine interest in making things work for people. 0bama doesn’t want to work period. He has spent the last 21 months dodging his work as a senator. What makes him think he’d be happier in the 24/7 job as POTUS. Being president isn’t only basketball and photo ops, state dinners and glad-handling VIPs.

What’s mystifying about the 0bama phenomenon is that our democratic leadership actuallly chose him. What’s tragic is the possibility that this conflicted man might win.

Many celebrities were high school drop-outs and low-class who have, imo, low morals (they’d do ANYTHING to get in the movies, etc.) – not all, of course, but MANY of them. So, now we have Hollywood rich (who “THINK” they are important and ‘educated’), highschool drop-outs with morals of alley cats backing Obummer. Shows you what THEY know! But then, I guess that’s the kind of people Obummer attracts…

I thought Obummer only attracted the ‘higher educated’ and more ‘wealthy’. Of course since Obummer wants to make sure this is a socialist country – take from the rich (AND the middle class) – and distribute the wealth (via taxes) evenly. Of course that means all the welfare/medicaid queens and kings and the lazy SOBS who DON’T WANT TO WORK, will gravitate towards Obummer! THEY know a gravy-train when they see one…and Obummer’s policies are just THAT!

I’m sure he was just trying to ‘charm’ the celebs with his ‘cool’ talk and his ‘swagger’. I doubt he talked ‘policy’. Afterall, he LOVES being around the rich and famous doesn’t he? He thinks of himself as a ‘star’, so he just wanted to blend in. Yeah, he’s just like one of us – LOL! The dumb nitwits supporting this phoney clown really are STUPID or they just don’t give a damn about the country as a WHOLE!

Someone please put this Obama person out of our misery.

Matthew Weaver – just IGNORE Jon; that’s what he WANTS – to get people riled up; afterall, he’s a newbie here and doesn’t know the level of support Hillary had and the level of anger against Obummer for stealing the election. Everyone just needs to ignore all of his posts.

Nothing done online is completely in private or cannot be traced.

This is strictly not true. Perps can use onion routers and then it’s almost impossible to find them. That being said: I don’t think the erudition of these people is that high.

You’ll throw your vote away alright – you’ll throw it indirectly to Obama. That’s one less vote for McCain and a vote WASTED by giving it to a third party who has NO WAY of ever winning the election.

In a ‘normal’ election – when both candidates are PRO-AMERICA and the elections were won fairly (among other things), a third party vote would not be harmful. But in THIS case – with Obummer – our country CANNOT afford to elect him; that’s how dangerous his presidency could be. He has way too many shady, corrupt, racist, greedy and anti-America associates in his past.

“So please understand that anyone who states that Jimmy Carter was a great President is totally undermining any credibility he may have had in this community.”

Thank you for taking it upon yourself to be the Memsahib,Major Domo, and hall monitor of No Quarter.

In your exalted multiple capacities, you could perhaps convince the management of NQ to let you post a “Carter Incompetent” open tread.

I don’t suffer fools easily.

I don’t even enjoy 10-1 odds against me anymore. Winning against those odds got very boring over time. I mostly just write short comments, these days.

But if you build it I will come.

And I will enjoy it.

Ball’s in your court.

Gosh, Mimi, again a brilliant post. Thoughtful and penetrating. I really look forward to reading your posts.

I think Streisand has a beautiful voice. But I still prefer Chopin and Deanna Durbin.

I agree DianaL.C.

Didn’t McCain just have a 50,000 dollar a plate fundraiser in some swanky hotel in Miami?

Didn’t McCain just hold a fundraiser with Hollywood movie star Jon Voight?

DianaL.C. I agree with you. I also admire Carter as a man and I don’t think his administration was the worst one. I disliked Reagan’s policies much, much more.

You know, Jon, I thought you were banned from this site. Did you plead and beg and Larry said he’d give you another chance. Larry, it’s not too late to revoke that privilege.

Chicago Joe, there is nothing wrong with the Green Party or Cynthia McKinney. I would be voting for her this year if Barry weren’t such a threat to our country. And if the DNC hadn’t perpetrated its own version of Watergate during the primaries. It’s time to pay the piper…and I’m doing it with my vote.
PUMA

I’ve said for years that the Hollywood liberals hurt the Dems. They provide money, but give the party an image of elite far-lefters. If Perot hadn’t been in Clinton’s first race, Bill probably wouldn’t have won. And I believe it was the image of Howard Dean on stage with Rob Reiner and Martin Sheen–and not any “scream”–that doomed him. Now, with Bobo, the party has so marginalized itself that it’s headed for oblivion. Hillary is the only viable Presidential candidate it has left, and she will give us one more chance in 2012. The Dems MUST move to the middle and jettison the cultural far left.

“Memoirs of an Amnesiac.”

Carter wasn’t INVITED to play a part at the Barackolopolis Coronation. No center role, as befitting a senior party member, no podium time.

Can’t have the oldest living Democratic President upstaging the anointed one, after all, can we, now?

Carter, a weak President, has made his reputation in his post-Presidential career. He’s respected around the world, and because of that, he couldn’t be allowed to steal any thunder from the BoyKing–the BoyKing wants it all for himself–it’s why he just HAD to step on Biden’s night, too, and not wait for his day at the fair.

Can anybody please explain to me in plain English, why this guy ever got the title “orator”???

Flat voice, sleepworking his “speech”, repetitions, false starts, lack of enthusiasm, emotion, conviction and wit.

That tha that that the game…

Gimme a break, this guy can’t even deliver his stump without help!

Try imagine Clinton on that stage!!!

If you can’t say it in plain English, try broken English, French, Latin or German… but try to make me understand… please?

CONSTANTLY bashing Carter?

I’m here every day, I don’t see that. Carter isn’t the central focus of discussion here, though, because he, like Bill Clinton, is NOT RUNNING.

I think you’re being hypersensitive.

Wow, Mimi.

As usual, you have thoughtful and brilliant insights. Your comments here are wonderfully written.

Thanks for sharing.

You don’t understand the meaning of regulation, apparently. You’d be paying a thousand bucks for a coach seat from Pittsburgh to Bermuda, and your cable bill would be cruising towards three hundred a month under regulation.

Regulation stifles competition. That’s not good for the consumer’s bottom line.

If you say anything less than “The Messiah Cometh” when referring to His Majesty, you are a bigot.

At least in the heads of the cultists…

Trump had endorsed and strongly supported HRC.

It’s not just Mrs. de Rothschild…it’s a shitload of big money donors, and their big money friends.

You know how Bush used to call the wealthy his base? Well, the Democrats had a base just like that, situated on both coasts. The East Coast has apparently refused the Kool Aid.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

What, the professors were trying to teach you and your other Obot pals, and you call that torture?

That’s another thing about Obots, they are uninterested in their own history.

You’ve been hanging around with wingers too much.

People in Europe have free health care and six-week annual vacations. Better that than our “booming” economy—where everybody works three jobs.

The economy is in the crapper because the Republicans gained control of the government in 2000 and began to take apart the New Deal.

And if you don’t like socialism, please get off my sidewalk.

You don’t think the National Health “decides” who gets treatment?

They do. People who play that “sunshine and roses” bullshit about socialized health care need to wake the fuck up.

It’s simply a substitution of one bunch of assholes for another–private assholes are supplanted by government assholes–and the bottom line is still the bottom line.

I lost a good friend to heart disease because of the NHS. They “decided” that his bypass operation could wait; there was a LINE, you see. While he was waiting, he had a massive coronary and croaked.

Had he had the money to go to Harley Street, he’d likely still be here today.

FUN FACT: the lifespan of Canadians used to be the same as ours. Since they got a universal health care system, their lives are now a year longer than us.

Private enterprise has utterly failed to attend to our health needs. Thousands of people die every year because we don’t have a health care system. They died because of Republicans.

That’s easy to refute. The inner cities in the rest of the industrialized world—where governments are far more socialist than ours—are in far better shape than ours.

that makes two of us ex-Dems, Bob. And I am a cousin of Al Gore!
I have always put country first although I have always voted Democratic until now. Now I see both parties are the same, but I feel McCain and Palin are real reformers. The real deal if you will.
I saw right through Obama from the start!

He has what is close to a passionate sexual relationship with any speech on a teleprompter, that’s why he’s called an orator–you can put the phone book up there, and he’ll deliver it like it’s “I HAVE A DREAM.”

The only problem is, the “I HAVE A DREAM” schtick is the ONLY SCHTICK the guy has got.

Take away the teleprompter, though, and he’s an inarticulate ass.

Hell, even that bad actor Reagan could emote on a “Hellcats of the Navy” level, or a “Bedtime for Bonzo” level, or even win one for the Gipper, if the scene called for it. And he could manage it with a three by five card in his palm, with a few notes on it. With early onset Altzheimer’s.

Obama is stuck on one style of oration–and when heard, over and over again, it’s no longer that “fierce urgency” nonsense–it’s closer to WHINING, HECTORING and COMPLAINING. Over, and over, and OVER again. Waaaah, waaaah, waaaah….they’re being MEAN to me! That’s all he seems to say, lately!

I’m just so sick of the guy. I really wish he’d tone it the fuck down. He’s a total schmuck.

People who have 28,000 to spend on a meal have no idea what the average person is going trough.

Hope that is canned applause.
