I have a better idea. Why don't you tell us what you know about Cheney?
What do you think he meant when he said the war was in it's last throes?

Why don't you be honest for a change? It will be close because all the
ex-Wallace voters joined the Republican party.

Be sure to let me know if Obama:

*falls asleep in staff meetings and cabinet meetings

*runs the deficit through the roof

*can't tell the difference between an ex-president and a ball player

*allows his wife to hire astrologers to help shape policy

*presides over a constitution-bending escapade in the fashion of "Iran-
Contra"

You mean like Robert "KKK" Byrd? Or maybe Clinton's politcal mentor (and
leading Segregationist), J. William Fulbright? (Just Google "The Southern
Manifesto" if this is shocking news to you.) Or Confederate apologist Jim
Webb?

AFAIK, none of these bigots has turned Republican.

This is the point you keep missing... they don't own ANYTHING except a
debt on something that is worth far less than they paid for it. Isn't
that a great investment! Thank you very much for the priviledge! The
runup in massive debt has reached it's peak... it can't go higher. The
only thing that will lead to even greater home prices is lower
interest rates and higher wages... neither of which is likely for a
long time. Is capitalism all about screwing over whoever you can to
make a buck? If so, then I'll pass.

> Why do I have the idea that you own nothing?

I own 16 acres of beautiful land at the moment... paved roads,
utilities, etc... 8 miles from Ruidoso, NM. Just bought it last year
for $79K... and I don't think it is worth less than I paid, since the
frenzy didn't happen here... which is one big reason I moved here.

Well, maybe she won't do that, but she has said she wants to "kill
whitey" and "f2ck whitey." There's supposedly a video of this out
there and even the liberal media hasn't reported that Obama denies it.
So there you go.

But I'm not a racist.

What percentage of Americans saw or heard about this photo? 1%? Maybe 2%?

Huge stir...right! LOL

Fox News' Live Desk with Martha MacCallum is a blog? That's news to me.
A Blog run by CBS News and you say is "obscure"? A NY Daily News article.

I think you are the one that is a blog head. A stuffed up head.

You could say the same thing if (when) it appears in the NYT. Who reads

Sorry Eric, you are overstating this. I subscribe to two local
newspapers. I listen to the morning news on the radio. I usually
watch both the local and national evening news on the TV. I read a
couple of national on-line newspapers at lunch. And topping it all
off, although I would describe myself as a left of center Democrat, I
even listen to a few minutes of Rush and Sean Hannity almost daily
(you have to know what the opposition is saying...) This posting is
the first mention I've seen regarding Obama and cycling.

Uhmm. When McCain was running in 2000, I heard from "very reliable
sources" that he was never quite right in the head after his stay in
Hanoi and that he had a secret black baby.

The liberal media asked him about these things and he denied it, but we
can't believe anything these liars say.

So has he been miraculously cured from his mental problems and where has
the baby gone?
