He may not be Bat @!$%# Crazy.

But you are.................................

Crist ran for Senate and was defeated by Marco Rubio. Rick Scott was elected Governor.

Wonder how Charlie's "No labels" party is going now?

Whoops!

You're absolutely right YD - thanks for the clarification! ;o)

You mean correction right?

Come on Brutus we all know 1. Feisty is never wrong; and 2. nobody puts baby in a corner.

I guess it just bothers me knowing that if it had been a conservative poster on here that made a mis-statement like that, every liberal on here would be jumping down their throat, accusing them of lying or providing misinformation. It just bugs me about the double standard in the way that they treat people, even if they might not realise they are doing it. I just wish that the people on here that act like "Feisty" could look at what they say and do to people objectively and try to live up to their own standards.

Though, I'll not hold my breath.

Feisty is as Feisty does. Frankly, she gets what she deserves.

And come on how funny is it that you got a star, and I got a star for the stating the obvious:

"nobody puts Feisty in a corner."

Thanks to Feisty for supplying so much comedy gold around here. Keep on keeping on old gal.

I guess it just bothers me knowing that if it had been a conservative poster on here that made a mis-statement like that, every liberal on here would be jumping down their throat

The 'problem' with your little scenario is, after 3+ years of being on this board, I have NEVER witnessed a single conservative admit they made a mistake or mispoke!

Hell, there are certain right wing nuts who come back daily spreading their BS after they've been thoroughly debunked (at times by the moderators)!

If you don't care for my response, well, to bad, so sad for you... LMAO!

In the meantime, do try to enjoy your 'pity party' little guy, there's plenty of WHINE to go around! ;o

And there you have it: "But, but, they do it too.........!"

As we can see Feisty was and always will be the captain of the debate team: "to bad, so sad for you...LMAO!" Oh My!

But sure, Feisty, "never." Riiiiight. And how about you old gal, ever been "de-bunked?" Impossible I know - Boehner is orange, Christie is fat, and Bachmann is batsh!t crazy.

Goodness gracious but how many times have you been deleted? How many days have you been suspended?

Golly, fiesty if you didn't have the conservatives all on ignore maybe you would have. LOL!

Or how about this, denigrating and minimizing isn't the same as debunking, or...

Citing "think progressive " and other liberal sources won't win any arguments. or...

Failing to prove that others links successfully prove a case against conservatism. or...

assuming that your comments mean anything other than comic relief.

BTW - didn't know FR had monitors, or at least competent ones.

BTW - didn't know FR had monitors, or at least competent ones

I see you don't get out much! lol

BTW: I've been meaning to ask you, did you chose the moniker 'american' to remind yourself or make a feeble attempt to convince the rest of us?

I always get a kick out of someone who attempts to portray themselves as being more 'patriotic' than others!

Does it make you feel like a BIGGER person to compensate for other areas you're lacking in your life?

How many flag pins do you own?

Do you carry around a copy of the Constitution with ya?

Drop to your knees on Sunday morning do ya?

Inquiring minds would like to know...

Attempts at snark and silly personal attacks.

That's our girl Baby/Feisty.

Kinda the same mentality also

But it's cool american, Feisty just wishes she had either the ability or a reason to drop to her knees. Alas, old and lonely is no way to go out. But it sure dies explain her perspective.

Spanky, That last comment was uncalled for. I find that kind of attitude regarding women degrading.

Well gosh lisa I find it mighty interesting that you didn't find Feisty's comment to be equally degrading.

So how about you explain for all of us why it was perfectly acceptable to you when Feisty asked american if he "dropped to his knees on Sunday" but it offended your sense of dignity and well being for me to say that Feisty wishes she had a reason to drop to her knees.

Is Feisty capable of dropping to her knees? She is very old you know. Does she pray on Sunday?

Come on lisa, what you got?

Spanky, That last comment was uncalled for. I find that kind of attitude regarding women degrading.

I didn't her response lisa - but, all I can say is that's why this pervert preys on teen age girls in Lake Havasu, when she's not paying for a piece of tail!

Aww Feisty you do care.

But let's be very clear - it's college girls in March and April [spring break]. It's river skank Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor day [ and all summer in between].

Gosh I sure hope the river skanks can afford to get on out to the lake this year. Please Obama do something, anything to bring down the cost of gas. The river chick need to have enough money to buy Jose Cuervo.

:)

Gee little chihuahua feisty, I got you to drag your azz. All I need to know about you is you are FR's comic relief. Why not give us your imitation of the great karnak?

Such knowledge you profess to have. I suppose you have an IQ to match as well, right?

Sweety if you wanted to duke it out, why didn't you just say so. the next time I come thru chi town I will drop by and you can buy me a brew, you cougar you!

It is interesting that you equate the word "american" to "patriot" so I thank you for the compliment.

BTW - You do seem to be rather full of yourself. You must be a medical miracle spewing out shlt from both ends. Maybe I should invest in scott tissue, or don't you wipe?

Almost forgot... thanks for playing sweety! lmao!

Spanky, I far as I concerned there's a different connotation involved when a man makes that kind of remark. Call me old fashioned if you like but that's how I feel. Take into account that you might just be offending women in general.

It is interesting that you equate the word "american" to "patriot" so I thank you for the compliment.

And I thank YOU, for proving to the entire blogosphere what a pussy you are my friend! And by the way, since you were to cowardly to answer ANY of my questions, you PHONEY american - we have some lovely parting gifts for you there, sweetheart!

Do keep on trying babe - sooner or later - you may earn your stripes to be 'feisty worthy'!

Pssst - Your new BFF - Spankie's waiting for you to bend over and assume your normal position..

That is not only very childish, but also vulgar. Feisty Redhead you should be ashamed or yourself.

Oh little girl, still trying to keep up aren't you? What verbiage you use.

feisty worthy?? whatever for? I rarely turn down a free brew though.

It was more than enough to know that you were incapable of rebutting any of my conclusions of your posts. You had questions?? Didn't see anything worth answering, but it wouldn't take much for anyone to be more patriotic than you.

Regardless, I like my women to be both spirited and intelligent, not foul mouthed and inane like you portray yourself to be.

At this point, does anyone remember what the article was about?

Voting

I refuse to listen to any Pretenders songs as long as Chrissie Hynds allows that pig Limbaugh to use her song as his theme song.

Pat: Smart is in.

Pat: Yeah. A torch was passed in the media and no one noticed.

That's cause no one watches these smart-a**es.

Oh my, such abject cluelessness. Well at least the libbies have ignorance. I hear that's bliss and all.

But good call bringing up Chris Hayes. Now he writes for the Nation, which is currently in such a hole they can't find any new investors. In fact, and despite their best efforts,they can't even give it away, a la Newsweek.

Question for you Pat is how much long is the new owner going to allow Schults' ratings? Rantings aside, he's kinda in the toilet. Does he even draw more than Joy Behar?

But you are totally right - Obama has single handily focused the nation on the debt, deficti and spending.

But golly isn't being economically responsible the exact opposite of being a good libbie? Or are you saying Eugene Robinson, Paul Krugman, and yes en Ezera are now staunch republicans?

Cause all three's latest articles slam Obama for giving in.

Popcorn indeed ladies.

JoAnna and Spanky: Your party and media is finished. It is only for the haters in this country now, of which JoAnna fits comfortably. Spanky is a lot nicer actually.

But JoAnna - the GOP welcome your hate with open arms. It's all they have.

Edit: Spanky is a lot nicer as far as Republicans go. There are no decent Republicans left in this country that I can see.

Pat, we've heard the story before from liberals like yourself and and the All-Crock "smart" people you list. Wasn't it just two years ago the story line was how the Republicans had become a "Regional Party", one that would not control anything for at least a generation? Wasn't the story that the Democrats would rule the roost for years, you know, because they were oh'so "smart"? How'd that work out for you?

And now Obama is scrambling to come up with an economic plan, any kind of plan, that might put a dent into what the Republicans have put together. The People get it Pat. They know Obama and the Democrats have spent the country down the river, the People get that it will be their children that pay for the Liberals mores of today when they become the taxpayers of tomorrow. Don't tread on the People's kids Pat, the People get that. That's hate Pat. Hate of the next generation, stealing from the kids who can't even vote today and making them pay for it tomorrow.

Maybe your "smart" people can explain it in more detail to you.

Yep Pat, that is spot on analysis I'm sure.

Of course is was the very same we heard WAY, WAY back in November of '08. You remember Pat, back when it was the "40 year reign of democrats" and the republicans were just a "regional"party.

Pat, I don't know you but you don't seem like you are in your 20's or even 30's. I would expect, for your own sake that given that you are a little older that you'd have developed the ability to see the big picture - that it's not always just a tree. Sometimes you are in a Forrest.

I caustion you, and everyone else to not jump out with statements like "your party amd mdeia is finished." It's not just a silly comments given what is going on, and which party now controls the debate, but also just a silly statement in general.

And really, "there are no decent left in this country that I can see?" Come on Pat, you are either trying to be ridiculous, or actually are ridiculous. I'll leave it to the board to decide.

Pat,

so that is what you called you and your media back during the Bush years…haters and the “new media”. I’ll have to remember that next time there is a repub president.

After all, everything I know about the way you “respect” a president I learned from you and your ilk. I even learned the proper salute for a president from Rom Emmanuel on Obama inauguration day when he flipped off Bush on national TV as Bush left the stage.

Spanky: "there are no decent left in this country that I can see?"

The quote is "There are no decent Republicans left in this country that I can see." Probably just need to get out more. Get off the msnbc evening lineup for a week or so and stop listening to the constant barage of hate directed at the Right.

There are many fine people in this country that happen to be Democrats. They care for their families, their communites, and their country, just like most Republicans do. To make the statement that "you don't know any decent Republicans" is absurd. You ain't trying.

Say Spanky, just what is it that allows you to spend so much time during the day on these boards?

Is it the hard working dedicated employees you have?

Or is it the understanding employer that appreciates how much time you put in over the week-ends? 30 hours was it?

I mean, I've read it both ways and am just trying to get a handle on your personality, you know, can it be trusted or maybe you're just another chihuahua?

Sorry FranH, all those questions have been answered so many times. But one thing is sure, I am not a fan of chihuahuas. ALthough I have noo idea why you wouldn't trust a chihuahau. That seems a little odd, Frank-ly.

I got a huge yellow lab. Best dog I've ever had.

So Frank, you are new. Tell something fun and interesting about yourself. Then lets hear your take on QE3. Good or bad, and what will be it's net effect on inflation?

I mean, I've read it both ways and am just trying to get a handle on your personality, you know, can it be trusted or maybe you're just another chihuahua?

LMFAO! Frank!

You NAILED it!

Maybe if the 'bad' little doggie, wasn't spending ALL his time trolling this board, here wouldn't be working 30 hour weekends!

Just a thought...

Personally, I put the mangy butt dragging mutt on ignore weeks ago!

"There are no decent Republicans left in this country that I can see."

Well, Pat, you are in Boston, after all, and since I moved, there are no Republicans left in your area. You are surrounded by far left loonies, who watch losers: the Red Sox (so far), and MSNBC (the network equivalent of the Kansas City Royals, minor league all the way)...

Aww look Feisty popped up and indirectly responded to me.

Feisty you are truly a classic case of passive aggressive disorder. But I love you anyway old girl.

But funny you bring up the "30 hour weekend" comment. You, like all who work "joe jobs" - you know wage slaves, just don't get it, and never will.

See when you are self employed like me, every single dollar I earn, I get. So if I have to work all weekend, which I have to do fairly regularly, particularly when I am preparing for, or am engaged in trial, it's ok. It's my money. But it is clear for you silly comment that all you know {"bad little doggie"] is what it is to be the employee, or worker bee. It really is sad, you would benefit not only financially, but also in perspective from being the one actually calling the shots.

Like I said to Pat Ignorance is Bliss and you Feisty, wear ignorance very well indeed. Hey, where Drive By - he can help you out. After all he's a worker bee too.

But it's ok we all know why you don't respond to my. You can't/are incapable of doing it. I know - if the response is not "Boehner's a drunk" or "Christie's fat" or "Bachmann's batsh!t crazy" you got no response.

Tell you what prove us wrong and tell us all your thoughts on QE3.

spanky - wasn't a fan of QE2, now the FED has to come up with a plan on all the treasuries they have. However, PIMCO thinks that QE2 did more than anyting obama did to create private sector jobs.

Liked what the honeywell CEO David Cote recently said on bloomberg about what governments real job was...

The U.S. economy will continue to improve during at least the next three, four, maybe five, years, Cote said. The best way for government to create jobs is to build an environment amenable to hiring, he said.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-31/u-s-must-cut-entitlements-to-slash-deficit-honeywell-ceo-says.html

Naturally many FR libs would disagree with him, but obama is heading in that direction

No fair american. I was hoping to elicit a response from baby, I mean Feisty. Guess she's still in that corner.

So american do you think the economy will continue to improve in spite of $5.00 gas? I sure remember the spring of '08. Gas prices killed the economy. Plain and simple and unfortunately Obama's sees to be ok with it.

After all it was Obama who told us our energy prices would necessarily sky-rocket. Oh dear!

spanky - if fuel keeps its upward trend thru the year, our economy will falter simply because more $$$ spent on fuel means $$$ not spent on discretionary items. May not double dip, but GDP will suffer. Just hoping that oil drops below $100.

You really didn't expect chihuahua fiesty to do anything but drag across posts did you? It scares me at times that some FR liberals think they can think. There are good ones who do post and display the ability to discuss issues rather than just denigrate.

Did enjoy the spring of '09, $1.60 for ethanol

It not just about discretionary spending unfortunately.

It about the cost of goods sold. Fuel is typically a variable cost, and one that is very hard to budget for. It is already ripping through the economy. The true effects of $4.50 per gallon, which is what is is out here already will be in full force and effect by June. June, you know when Cali shoves the "clean burning" fuel down our throats, at about $.35-.50 more per gallon.

So it comes to this - if 'Mr. Votes present" doesn't do something real quick we are all doomed. Tough-y for him - he wants sky high gas, but he knows he is toast if it happens.

Fun times, right? I'm sure Feisty is pounding the popcorn. I just hope the old dear doesn't eat herself into a food coma.

Did Sarah 'Barracuda' ever issue an apology?

You read my mind Ursula! Wonder why we never heard of the settlement with the Heart sisters?

I was researching and apparently there was some permission granted - but the Heart sisters objected to the association - can you blame them?

Me, too, Ursula - couldn't find anything about a settlement, but I did find this in a CNN article from 2008 about the McCain camp saying they had paid all the necessary licensing fees to use the song:

"And the band's former guitarist, Roger Fisher, told Reuters last week that the McCain camp’s use of the song benefited both sides: Republicans get "the ingenious placement of a kick-ass song" - and Heart gets headlines and royalties. Part of that money, said Fisher, would be heading to the Arizona senator’s opponent: "With my contribution to Obama's campaign, the Republicans are now supporting Obama," he told Reuters."

So thank you, Sarah, for your generous support!

P.S. Do you wonder if she ever actually listened to the lyrics of her "theme song"?

"If the real thing don’t do the trick
You better make up something quick"

Don't think Palin ever apologized. As I recall John Cougar Mellencamp asked McCain to refrain from using his songs. Bruce Springsteen allowed Obama to use his however, especially "Born in the U.S.A."

I think the Dixie Chicks were off-put by Bush43 too were they not?

Thanks Girlz & Greg!

All I remember was, it seemed like every day another artist was telling Gidget & McGeezer to KNOCK it off with using unauthorized songs in their quest for the WH! lol

Although, I do think swiping Barracuda was the lowest of them all! ;o)

better to have a leader who can get both sides to work together. GPA has little to do with "smarts"

I agree Frank. Ozzy's use of chemicals precludes any contact with reality.

Not slow Patrick, just bad.

That is if you are a libbie, or a libbie leaning website like this.

But it's all good, tommorrow Obama comes out with his Budget 2.0. I hear it's all about cuts, cuts, and more cuts. Except to the military - he is engaged in 3 wars and all.

So Pat, how much different will his new budget be from the one he pushed out just a few weeks ago? And why the "sudden" change pat?

Winning, not so much, right?

spanky - obama budget cut 1.0 had ~ $73 billion/year in cuts, got any bets placed yet on $100 billion/ year or $50 billion/year?

No american 1.0 was about freezing and cutting future increases.

Look at the news over the budget deal just done - only $14 billion in real cuts.

Head are going to roll american. Great timing. Sit back and have some fun. Washington as a whole is going to get drilled over this.

Guess it is Pat.

Day is winding down. Most of us "work" for a livin',....unlike Spanky.

Damn straight there Greg.

Let this be a lesson to you - get the best education you can, work hard, become the boss, and boom you get to be the applesauce like me. The secret Greg is to be your own boss - don't toil for the man. Don't let others profit from your hard work.

But then again I have completed three direct, and two cross-examinations today. Pretty productive overall. And I'm real close to getting another case settled.

How about you Greg, what did you accomplish. and more importantly, how much coin did you earn today?

ouch!

Spanky - thought I heard bloomberTV putting it at ~$28 with the DOJ cuts already on the books for FY 2011 despite what the republicans said about cutting them. Lmao, and still the liberals whine.

Word on the street is it might be at most $14 billion and that counts $1.5 billion unspent from Biden's train fund. A total non-cut.

I will give Boehner some credit - he, as speaker of the house, is forcing Reid to dance like a monkey and give him two senate floor votes, one of which is on planned parenthood.

And totas, don't pay no mind to Greg - dude live in Detroit for god's sake. Could you just imagine how crappy that has to be?

Spanky

I heard the same $38.5 billion turns into $14 billion.

It's called Creative Accounting.

Spanky. I assume you are not a prosecutor? Otherwise you would not be abusing your position by wasting so much of the taxpayers money posting during working hours.

Patrick? Really, I strike you as being a government employee?

Come on brother, use your big libbie brain.

Although come on Pat we all know the government employees waste huge amounts of time. Remember what those SEC lawyers were during during the financial melt down? Downloading so much porn they needed an entire new computer to "save" it?

And by the way my man, there are many other lawyers working for the gov that are not prosecutors.

Spanky. Which of the other government lawyers would cross examine?

There are a lot of conservatives who feed at the public trough, why should I have assumed you were not one of them?

Well I don't bill out at $250 / hour, but I bet insurance premiums cut deep into your bottom line, the lawyer equivalent of malpractice insurance that is. My income is extremely comfortable.

You pay for your own medical insurance too don't ya' Spanks? Probably $1,300 - $2,000 / month at least. More if you got a family. Wellpoint hiked your premiums in Cali ANOTHER 46% last year I hear. Bummer.

Got a vehicle discount program with that attorney job?

Cost of living? Cheaper in Detroit. Way cheaper. No earthquakes, floods, mudslides, wildfires, tsunamis, etc....And BTW Spanks,....1/8th of the world's surface fresh water rolls past our doorstep every day. Water? No prob. We wallow in the middle of four fresh water oceans. Michigan is 2nd in crop diversity only to California.

And oh yeah,...those right to work paradises like N.Carolina and Nevada have higher unemployment rates than we do now. What happened to that model? I thought the RTW thing was a guarantee to republican prosperity. Seems like the wheels come off the republican model real quick when you kick the tires.

BTW: your work on the weekends claim don't pass the smell test. What court is open on the weekend? What judge works on the weekend?

Personally I think you are a full-fledged member of the Fortunate Sperm Club. Your alleged prosperity is due less from hard work and application, and more due to emerging from the "right" womb. Just a feeling I got.

How close am I?

I am pretty sure in Spanky's paralegal world, 'cross examine' is code for process server.

I'm just saying for a juris doctorate, he has some pretty lacking grammatical skills.

But that's just my opinion after observing his rhetoric for several months now. Don't be snowed, American and Patrick.

Clara - I heard that henry ford wasn't great at reading and writing, but he knew how to hire those that could. How about obama? Do we all need to do an internet search on his gaffes??

Gee, greg. Iowa is a right to work state with an unemployment rate of only ~6.1%. Kinda destroys your theory doesn't it?

The only guarantee I ever knew about work (discounting inheritances or lottery wins) was based on ones ability to perform.

american-2051576. I am not sure what fantasy world you live in. Lots of qualified people get passed over every day. One owner I worked for could not handle the fact that our best salesman was making so much money, so he took his best accounts away from him. The guy left the same day, and his accounts followed shortly after.

patrick - we must live in the same fantasy world...

The guy left the same day, and his accounts followed shortly after

Th guy performed didn't he? Or are you suggesting that the boss was the winner in all of this?

BTW - you do realize that "qualified" doesn't equate with success. A position may have only one opening, yet 15 "qualified" people apply, but only one gets the job. The one who is best able to perform in the eye of the person making the hiring decision will get that position. Not fantasy, but reality. Performance also doesn't equate evenly with qualified either.

american

I wasn't aware that Ford was on a message board holding himself out to be a highly compensated attorney and deriding others by snide innuendo about what they 'earned' today,...

I certainly believe there are several examples of people have achieved GREAT success without benefit of high school diploma and college degree. I take exception to the derision Spanky uses. On more than one occasion, Spanky's rhetoric and expertise hasn't held up to cross examination.

Anyone can be a keyboard hero, I suspect that is all Spanky is. Again, that is just my opinion.

Cali is flat out DOOMED. Voters won't and the legislature's lack the will.

Brown can't even get stuff up in time for a vote. Cali is totally insolvent and will not survive for more than a year or two without significant changes.

Good news is they can all suck it. Only real leverage they might have had was property taxes, and HEY Brown: Prop 13 - SUCK IT, baby!

Prop 13 worked great.

But the Democrats never slowed down spending more then we had. Now we have the High Speed Train to Nowhere.

Wonder how we pay for this boondoggle??

slodon - where was the high speed train supposed to go and from where. Just being curious.

Patrick,

After all, he WAS a body builder. But what does his physical condition have to do with the horrible 'state' California was left in?

hee hee

don't mess with cali voters!
