Have a nice weekend First Read crew.
Romney may have won NH but he's not had a good week otherwise.
Yeah, come back on Monday prepared to start telling the truth, and asking the questions that people want Obama to answer.
By the way, how come no mention of the fact that Obama's Hillary-Heckling-Pal, John Edwards, was pronounced too ill to stand trial until March 26th?
What a SCUMBAG Edwards is!....and he endorsed OBama
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND
Oh, dear....poor ol' J.Merle has gone 'round the bend...he must have caught it from nojo
You of all people, Stanley would appreciate a scumbag! ;o)
Birds of a feather and all...
PS: Gingerbread Mamma - I convinced Stanley is Leona's grandmother given their mental instability!
... and the Newt is running neck and neck with Romney in a new SC poll ... place your bets
"After Elizabeth dies, I will marry you on the rooftop at the Hudson Hotel and we'll get the Dave Matthews Band to play"
John Edwards
He lied to his supporters, he lied to his family, he STOLE money (campaign contributions) from those who BELIEVED in him, set his own cause back a decade with his actions, and impacted the 2008 Democratic primaries even though he KNEW that he was in the midst of a scandal and would inevitably get caught. He was angling for a cabinet post up to the minute he was exposed. He made a mockery of his entire career and fools of those whose hopes and dreams he embodied...
What is there to defend here?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISTV which poll? Don't see any neck and neck on RCP....
LOL, NastyRedneck......the only scumbag I see here is YOU.
You who excuses Obama's frivolous friendships with domestic terrorists, and federally convicted political racketeers, AND TAKES ENDORSEMENTS FROM SCUMBAGS LIKE JOHN EDWARDS
YOU who thinks that it's okay to live out of someone else's pocket
YOU who thinks that it's okay to steal from someone more successful than yourself.
LOL......yeah, I can see YOU responding to a post in which someone uses the word "scumbag," because it describes you and your political philosophy perfectly.
Dangerfield, Great post I couldn't have said it any better and I voted for Kerry/Edwards.
"He lied to his supporters, he lied to his family, he STOLE money (campaign contributions) from those who BELIEVED in him,..."
Imagine MY surprise- I had no idea Edwards was a 'family-values' GOP-er!
Yikes!!!
My comments here are ONLY about John Edwards...and not the "Steel Cage" match of invective and personal insult between the angry guy and someone I have on ignore...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine MY surprise- I had no idea Edwards was a 'family-values' GOP-er!
And now the next time a REPUBLICAN is on trial, caught in scandal etc., you have nothing to say when Team Red uses the same pathetic attempt at deflection...congratulations...
Dangerfield, Excellent observation. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Lisa, you too!
Let's all have a great weekend..
I am definitely solidly on Team Blue this weekend...
Go Giants!!!...:)
I
Easy there Stanley - you know what losing your temper does to your blood pressure!
Go hump your Hillary doll - darlin!
Dangerfield, Since I live in N.J. you know i'll be rooting for the Giants.
Cool! How do you feel about the fact that even though they have played in YOUR state forever, they are still the New York Giants? I would be a little miffed...:-)
I look for Victor Cruz to break a big one in the 1st quarter....
Dangerfield, I was born and raised in N.Y. so I'll root for them no matter what there called.
OK, which one of you pissed in Stanley's Corn Flakes this morning...
Mickey, NY I wouldn't go anywhere near Stanley's Corn Flakes. Go Giants.

".........Easy there Stanley - you know what losing your temper does to your blood pressure!

Yeah that just about does it, folks.
Sums up all the intelligent political analysis / discussion that you're gonna' get from NastyRedNeck.
Have a nice weekend Nasty, and please don't confuse the dog with your Obama vibrator again!
dangerfield
poll at Wall Street Journal
ISTV
Thanks! It's actually Insider Advantage Poll from Thursday, not WSJ...statistical dead heat, maybe Newton is on the upswing...Have a good one!
Jody, Romney's week was just fine.
Start worrying about the publicity that's going to come out when Obama's a-hole buddy John Edwards's trial starts in March......
Big news in Maine - the President is elevating the position of Small Business Administrator to Cabinet status, and that post is filled by our own Karen Mills! Olympia Snowe is full of praise for the President's action, and his choice of Mills. Now that's bipartisan action at work :)
http://bangordailynews.com/2012/01/13/business/obama-to-make-mainer-member-of-cabinet/
PS I was reading about Karen Mills online, and I had to laugh. Romney says he is qualified to be President because of his experience as a venture capitalist, but this woman is so much better qualified than he is, when you look at her record of success growing jobs through investment.
I say, Karen Mills 2016!
Oh, CRAP! Another cabinet post. Can't wait for the Czar posts and the righties speedos to knot from down under and then bunch.
Heads will EXPLODE!
Meet the "real deal," Karen Mills, Small Business Administrator, now a Cabinet level post
Just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Barack H. Obama = Captain Edward J. Smith
Yeah, she is the real deal. Good to have someone around with real business experience in the equity firm area, just like Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney wishes he had a resume like Karen Mills! Now there is a woman who is qualified to be President. Notice how she didn't just enrich herself, but helped create actual industries, actual jobs, while our improving our country?
Oh dear, poor ol' J. Merle has really gone 'round the bend..looking for that needle in the haystack, perhaps nojo can help him, they both have a bad case of obsession.
Meanwhile at the White House, the President is playing a fine game of chess with Congress lets's see what their next move will be.
We shouldn't expect much from them as a lot of them will still be recovering from jet lag having spent the past few weeks jetting all over at the taxpayers expense: Cantor is in Turkey with his group of congressmen and their spouses, Boehner is in Brazil, and other stops in South America...that should improve his tan, we can check it out on next week, he has to look good for the cameras and for State of the Union. Mcconnell is in Mynamar (formerly known as Burma for the geographically challenged). It is known fact that both parties take advantage of these perks, all on our dime, and most of these trips are just cover stories for all expense paid exotic vacations, no wonder there is such competition to be a member of Congress and we pay them, to, as we think serve the people.
What fools are we.
I dont' know about anyone else, but I'm ready for some fun at the DDI, looking forward to a good fire to sit around, sipping a good bourbon and soda and visiting with my good friends.
To our great hosts, thank you for all your hard work, come join us if you have time for a respite. First round is on me.
Feisty, you might just be right about those two, birds of a feather indeed. Bring some of that great Chicago deep dish please. I have some of the best homemade salsa ready to go.
Everyone have a great weekend, some of us may cross paths or posts during the holiday weekend. If you are lucky enough to be off on Monday, take a moment to remember the great man we are honoring,Martin Luther King, he was for all Civil Rights, we are not there yet, but soon we will, we just have keep working at it.
We're waiting for you over @ the Dew Drop Inn, Gingerbread Mamma...
Feisty, pass the popcorn with extra butter on mine:
No problem...
Stop on by the Dew Drop Inn if you want some pizza...
I feel like Rip Van Winkle except I awoke to find that US of A had become a theocracy. Franklin Graham seems to have anointed himself Christian in Chief. Evangelicals meet in Texas to debate Romney's suitability to hold office according to their lights. The Constitution, Article VI, still says "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." Refer these folks to this Article and tell them all to kiss my grits! If you're running for office, you need brass ones. It'll be curiously refreshing.
opajack
I don't care that they meet; but I think we should tax the @!$%# out of them. Churches are apparently Corporation - oops I mean PEOPLE, too!
This has left the rails, jumped the shark and landed on mars. What a complete mockery of our Constitution these fools are creating.
