Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that?
Posted: 8/12/2009 10:56:58 AM
Wow! Been away from this site for some time. Came back and the Forums are still zipping along.

If some dude in his 40s, 50s and older are with girls in their 20s, you can betcha the females are after moola. If said dudes want to believe otherwise, more power to em. They will end up lonely old men as the young chics leave them. Then, those chicadees become older women and the cycle keeps on.

I'm fairly fit for my age. At 5'1" and 105 lbs... I hold my own. Have zero desire for guys 20 years younger than me. Which is why I put a minimum age limit on who can contact me.

I have noticed that many guys in their 50s have their minimal age in the 20s. Go figure.

Age and Honesty
Posted: 1/28/2009 7:47:56 PM
It is truly amazing as to how many lie about their ages. Isn't the internet wonderful.

I've met out more who lie than tell the truth. And.. as to having recent photos on profiles. I've given up on that being the case. Since it is few and far between who are truthful, it is a pleasant surprise to meet and get to know those.

Does time really slow down close to a black hole

Until we can breach 'Even Horizon'... it's all theories. Once we do go beyond 'event horizon'... time/space will probably have a totally different perception. Since it's all perception now.. it is that which will become clear.

Just my 1/2 cents worth.

The Value of Silence
Posted: 1/27/2009 9:45:26 AM
One of the guys I've communicated with... still do... we can talk for hours.. literally. And, when there is a silence.. it is a comfortable one. No awkwardness. Now that is bliss! Being able to do both... talk and be silent!

Now that I know Madfiddler is no longer a Moderator, there goes the final shred of hope. He was the most unbiased in his handling of matters and he had a tough job on the Political Forum.

Too bad a truly unbiased/fair and cool dude is not moderating anymore.

If that's off topic, I'll be quiet on it now. I don't want to see this thread get deleted out.

Honestly, unfortunately the Political Forum (I use it for a reference since it is the one I posted on the most) was, as Admin. stated.. a real hotbed.

I would post my opinion and the next thing I knew 10 posts would come in shouting at me, making vile statements towards me, inciting me to respond back (I've had to bite my tongue too many times to count)...calling me out by my handle (against the rules), etc. All one has to do is read the flow. It's totally obvious what Conservatives put up with. And, a shame that we were trampled on.

The Liberals could chat back n forth, yell and scream at us, pound us for not providing long cut and pastes/citations...yet, they pulled theirs many many times from what is an absolute reality in the rest of cyberland as left biased sources and endless youtube links.

It's a shame..really a shame that it was so lopsided in being biased. I was banned several times and at that time, I was not reporting anyone. Just taking my licks. A Conservative Poster wrote me and said he was banned without warning and told next time his membership here would be terminated. I read the two posts he put on the Forum and they were tame.. wayyy tame compared to the majority who were continuing to spew their hatred towards others. ... and, not getting banned.

It was way out of hand and lopsided. We all have common sense and saw that. It's just it became an obvious fun feeding frenzy by the Liberals to take down the Conservatives.

Guess Admin saw this...via reports from Mods? Who knows. And, made a decision based on the welfare of his site. His choice. To be respected. At least he saw and recognized the extent of the problem.

You were never obligated to read or post to these forums
--------------------------------------------
Wrongo - give the girl 5 points Alex.
There was a point, not too long ago where in fact, I did have an obligation to read them.
That being said, you don't know me and I would appreciate you not pretending you do.
---------------------------------------------
That speaks volumes about your personality.
----------------------------------------------
So because I disagree with you, you decide to make a personal attack towards me? Aren't personal attacks against the rules? (a key reason why those 2 forums were removed I suspect - too many people flaming those they disagree with) At the minimum, before attacking me, it would be nice if you could get your facts straight.


The above is a quote from this Forum...this Thread...amongst two Posters as the exchange played out right here.

And, People wonder why Admin. decided to pull certain Forums. It's obvious.

Maybe due to the volume of personal attacks. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of the forums shut down, unfortunately, if it continues on the others as well.

But, I was mainly a Poster on the Political one and know, first hand, how nasty it could get.

Personally, I don't blame Admin. for protecting the site.

Many don't realize how some things can turn into major problems real fast when they let their mouths run loose.

We all suffer the consequences for the egos of others.

Significant lead in polls for McCain
Posted: 9/16/2008 9:37:46 PM
The Polls will probably reflect the news which is coming to light tonight for Middle America.

McCain, in a written report, back in 2005, warned that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was on the brink of causing serious trouble for the financial/home environment. But, McCain was ignored mostly...by Congress. Including Obama, who received thousands in funds from both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Plus, Dem. Barney Frank could have issued a warning and did nothing.

The Polls are simply reflecting the sentiment of America as the truth comes out about Obama.

It looks like McCain's VP pick is Sarah Palin
Posted: 9/16/2008 8:07:41 PM
Wow!

So, this is how it feels to be Sarah Palin.

In less than 29 minutes after I posted, nine rebuttals came in.

This is wayyyy cool!

McCain made a smart move choosing a female neoconservative for his running mate due to her:

Grit
Determination
Proven Record as a good Mayor and Gov.
Energy policy

etc. etc.

Posted: 9/16/2008 7:31:28 PM
Looks like this thread is all over the map so to speak.

Thought I'd throw this in.

Sarah Palin and even John McCain, now, seems totally at ease speaking to People with or without teleprompters. Heck, McCain is more at ease without them totally. Palin proved she can wing it with the teleprompter being amiss at the RNC. She was under pressure and came through with flying colors.

Anyway, this week at a couple of outdoor events, which teleprompters are not usually used at, Obama had to have them. Seems he and his camp are worried he is getting rattled. If the guy gets rattled over campaigns, now that we are in the General Election and Middle America is involved in the process, he won't hold up in the WH. Not at all.

It surely appears that McCain and Palin both are more intune with Middle America and Obama was so use to the Democratic Primaries that he has no clue what Middle America is really all about.

Posted: 9/16/2008 11:12:09 AM
Sarah Palin is an extraordinary pick. She deserves to be on a ticket as VP... just as much as Obama on his ticket as the top of the ticket.

It's amazing that Palin is being compared to Obama vs. Biden.. by the Liberal Media.

McCain has proven his 'backbone' via his military service and his actual voting record in Congress. Obama has not.

McCain chose a VP running mate which has proven reform in her governing abilities. An excellent match-up for the ticket!

Significant lead in polls for McCain
Posted: 9/16/2008 11:07:28 AM
7 Polls and only 1 has Obama in the lead. I've never even heard of the 'Hotline/FD' poll. All the others are very well known and tested over time.

This is cementing that it's not just a post Convention bounce. The momentum for McCain/Palin is becoming more and more apparent.

I don't think Obama got anything more than a 5 pt bounce from the DNC and that lasted ... a day or two? That, imho, is the definition of a 'bounce'...but, what we are seeing with the McCain/Palin lead is a trend.

Actually, the criticism for the most part is about the "Abstinence Only" sex education that Palin favours. Clearly this is a blindingly obvious example that it doesn't work.


Criticism for Sarah Palin's way of life. Her hunting, shooting ability, being an outdoorsy woman, having 5 kids and working, electing to keep and nurture/raise a special needs child and still accept the VP position, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on...daily..in Liberal TV and Newspapers.


And please don't try to play the martyr. Given the outrageous tactics of the right in attacking Obama and Hillary, you gave up the high ground long, long ago.


Not sure who is meant by 'martyr'.. me personally or Conservatives in general. Stating Facts is not being a martyr. Take a look at what the Liberals state. The better terminology is biased. Not being a martyr. And, each Political Party and each Individual is, of course, biased. Not rocket science to know that.

As for attacking Obama and Hillary, the Liberal Media did that very well on their own. They set new standards when they opted to sugarcoat Obama and shred Hillary. And..I'm not anywhere near being a Clinton Supporter at all and it was obvious even to me where the bias was.

It looks like McCain's VP pick is Sarah Palin
Posted: 9/16/2008 10:01:19 AM
The Media likes to parody Politicians so I was painting a picture that the Liberal Entertainment and Media have portrayed as Sarah Palin.

When one looks at Sarah, there is obvious happiness on her face. When one watches many of the Democrat Pundit females attacking her, it's fierce and unhappy in their demeanor. Quite a contrast. The reason I made the comment on the long hair is because so much has been made about Sarah wearing her hair in a style which they (Media and Liberal women on TV... can't speak for all women at all) consider out of style and that she should cut it to be more 'modern'.

Sarah Palin's family has been/is being inspected..while Biden's family (his son, etc.) are given a free pass by the Liberal Media. Even the Conservative/Right leaning Media are laying off Biden's family (except for verifiable actual legit legal facts)...in stark contrast to the Liberal Media beating up on Palin's for very personal issues. See the difference??? It's right there full front.

But, Sarah Palin and her family are weathering the nonsense. I could just see Biden or Obama's outrage if the same was being done to them. Heck, Obama clenched his jaw and told the Press to lay off his wife for a statement she made during a public political event. Can one imagine the Liberal Media tearing up McCain and camp if they were going after Michelle or the girls like Sarah Palin and family are enduring.

Stick to the FACTS.. the Political Records of ALL 4 Candidates. That will show that McCain and Palin are on the side of the People of America and Obama has used the political arena for his gain. Nothing more. And, his running mate Biden..well, it's AOK for him and his family to do totally illegal stuff.

First, Sarah Palin had a lot of family help with baby Trig at the Convention. There was nothing wrong with the baby being there. He was well taken care of.

Second,.. I honestly think what bugs the feminists who have struck out horribly against Palin is centered on jealousy that Sarah has the determination to wear what she prefers (skirts, blouses, heels, etc.), wears her hair long, displays her love of God and Country, is a happy person. Sarah is not what has become the symbols of feminists.. pant suits and short hair and angry attitudes.

Sarah Palin is a light, a beacon of hope for many many Conservative young women who have been shoved into the background because they don't adhere to the PCness which the Liberals have tried to cram down the America throat.

Wow! I come to the forum to discuss recent polls, etc. and find Page 1 saturated with Sarah Palin bashing threads.

This is getting way out of hand.

But, maybe this forum is somehow in tandem with the Left media. Look at the flow of debate here now. It is Liberals talking amongst themselves mostly now. Appears most of the Conservatives have left the forum section here. It's a shame because that leaves no opposing side to see the thought process from. Instead, it's Liberal debating/chatting with Liberal. Look at the threads. Look at most of the Posts. It's not rocket science to see. Did the Conservatives run from debate? Nope. They walked away from personal attacks and name calling. Understandably so.

As for the Polls:

Most of the Pundits are talking about how shocked Obama and camp are that McCain is holding gains and/or steady with Obama in the polls. It has sent the Obama campaign into a tailspin. This is a tailspin Obama will not recover from. Thank goodness since America needs McCain/Palin at the helm. Especially now.

I'll be reading... from time to time. Till the next time..

Here's the difference. Republican women don't usually take to the streets to protest what the Liberal women stand for. It's just not our style. We don't have need to force our beliefs down the throats of others.

We go to the polls and quietly make our choice.

As I said Obama will institute Chicago-style corruption on a national scale...
Posted: 9/14/2008 8:52:19 PM
Good grief! This is about Obama and Chicago style corruption.

There are tons of other threads on Enron and Bush and the last 8 years...yada..yada... why bring it onto this thread and take a chance on derailing it? Oh... I see. Hmmmm. Might that the intent be.

Obama is tied to Chicago criminals. It is more than logical that Obama knows and approves of what this topic centers on. Most Americans are not stupid to not know it, Obama's connections and what he is capable of doing via his lapdogs.

Wonder why many in the Media aren't on this as they are with Palin. Obama is the top of the Dem. ticket.

Stuff on him gets a brief notice then swept under the rug. Since FOX is the most fair, it won't keep this in the limelight like MSNBC attempts to do with anything they can try to slant negative towards Palin or McCain.

Obama has been tied to this corruption and the Democrats blindly ignore it. I don't understand. I really don't.

Obama cancelled an appearance on SNL because he said it wasn't appropriate, given the devastation from Hurricane Ike. He is encouraging people to help out with disaster relief--in other words: to put their boots on the ground in Texas.


Big difference in the context I posted about.

I'm talking actual Policy platforms...not some SNL skit which was postponed to make an announcement which everyone else is saying.. Help Texas Hurricane relief. Obama cancelled SNL for political posturing. Just as McCain would have done..for the same reasoning.

Who has the right temperament to be a great leader?
Posted: 9/14/2008 10:29:08 AM
This is going to sound strange...but, the school I went to required that we read and understand the course titled 'Marxism vs. Communism'. Yes, it was required. Not an elective. I liked the debate premise of it and went into further study.

The Obama platform is very very much Marxist. It is.

And, like I posted on another thread, real Neoconservatism has a very defined meaning/platform also. Found at the following http://www.answers.com/topic/neoconservatism

Obama's platform is Marxism.
McCain's platform is Neoconservatism

It would be my suggestion that everyone who votes knows what each platform is in reality..in actual fact. Then, vote accordingly.

What do we think caused this shift over the past half week?


More and more are seeing the real McCain due to the press being on Palin. This has helped people to see McCain and examine his record also (since he at the top of the ticket) and compare it to Obama's. In the wake of all the Palin star.. McCain's real character/voting record, service to his Country via the military and congress and his stand against pork barreling is being proven on a daily basis.

People are waking up and taking the blinders off with Obama. Obama was a meteorite and now the awe is going away. McCain's backbone is coming to light finally.

I heard McCain hit 50% in the Gallup polls finally.

And, now he is getting his message out on his views re' how to handle Disaster Events. He and Obama differ significantly. McCain is a 'boots on the ground' ... i.e. have a system of where the needed supplies are ready to be immediately distributed by the local businesses... water, lumber, etc. to get things back going immediately and not having to wait on the gov.

In other words... less Gov. and more Power to the People with McCain!!

Palin and Biden Revealed on CNN. What do you think?
Posted: 9/14/2008 10:09:17 AM
The following, as taken from a post up thread is a Liberal interpretation of an actual and REAL term... contorted to their own biased...as usual.


From Political Terms We All Should Know:

Neo-Con - A shortened term and insult for "new conservative", which unlike the traditional conservative, is more about conserving "moral" values (pro-life, no stem cell research, prayer in school...but very much in favor of the death penalty) over traditional conservative values. Traditional conservatives do not identify with neo-cons because some of the actions of this movement are deemed to destroy the economy, environment, civil liberties, privacy and the essence of a free society in favor of a few in the class of power and it favors a vocal minority of the religious Right. The neo-cons are viewed as blinded from seeing the whole picture because they can only see their own mission and refuse to see anything else.


If you are going to use a term, use it for it's real meaning.. and don't misrepresent the definition. The shortened 'term' comes from the term Neoconservatism and has been twisted to suit the Liberal mindset and to try to take an important movement and reduce it to suit their own political needs.

The following is an accurate Definition of Neoconservatism. Like what it truly stands for or not...get the FACTs...not what the Liberal brainwashers have tried to turn it into.


Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: neoconservatism

U.S. political movement. It originated in the 1960s among conservatives and some liberals who were repelled by or disillusioned with what they viewed as the political and cultural trends of the time, including leftist political radicalism, lack of respect for authority and tradition, and hedonistic and immoral lifestyles. Neoconservatives generally advocate a free-market economy with minimum taxation and government economic regulation; strict limits on government-provided social-welfare programs; and a strong military supported by large defense budgets. Neoconservatives also believe that government policy should respect the importance of traditional institutions such as religion and the family. Unlike most conservatives of earlier generations, neoconservatives maintain that the United States should take an active role in world affairs, though they are generally suspicious of international institutions, such as the United Nations and the World Court, whose authority could intrude upon American sovereignty or limit the country's freedom to act in its own interests. See also conservatism.

For more information on neoconservatism, visit Britannica.com.

Will Obama Take Biden Off The Dem Ticket?
Posted: 9/13/2008 10:19:53 PM
I definitely think it would be a dumb move to take Biden off and add Hillary. I don't know why I have this funny feeling it is being considered by the Democrats. (whether it will come to be in a whole different matter).

It just felt like a set-up scenario when Biden made that statement re' Hillary.

But, it would be too obvious of a play to the female voters and be a bust...so, surely the Obama camp has considered that.

And, yep, I do see Hillary setting herself up for 2012. I imagine that is the only reason she and Bill are being cordial/helpful to Obama cause there surely is no love loss there at all.

Now, that's a bet I'll take. My money is on that Biden will make some announcement and the October surprise (which happens in Presidential Elections) will be Hillary Clinton added to the Democratic ticket in an attempt to deflate the Palin momentum.

Sooo, it will be din din in either the US or in Canada huh. We need to, at least, throw in a good bottle of wine to make the trip worth it for the loser.

Will Obama Take Biden Off The Dem Ticket?
Posted: 9/13/2008 9:43:26 PM
We didn't have a Biden thread so I'm going to attempt to start one...if it doesn't get voted off that is.

The other day Joe Biden, during a stump speech, said that Hillary Clinton might have been a better choice for VP. Yes, he said it to the audience. I'm sure it can be 'googled' or 'youtubed'.

If Obama does not pick up in the Polls, I believe Joe Biden will all of a sudden have a family or self emergency which will require him to step down as VP and then Obama will add Hillary Clinton.

Main point for discussion. Would this be a good move ... in this timeframe... for Obama? I think it's too late in the race...that he should have picked her at the get go. And, is it a real possiblity that the Democrats will set it up for Biden to step down and save face?

Hannity set to interview Palin next
Posted: 9/13/2008 2:41:02 PM

Will she even things out and let someone from MSNBC have a shot at her? Methinks not...




Who, with 50 days left in a Presidential race, campaigning to do, etc. would do interviews with MSNBC which is rated what... 28th or last..whatever... due their obviously biased Left leanings.... I mean Common Sense states that the Candidates will choose interviews with FOX, ABC, etc. based solely on the amount of Viewers reached. FOX is dominating in the ratings and any of the Candidates are smart to do as much interviewing/bios, etc. on their Network.

Millions will watch the Palin interview on ABC.. Millions will watch Hannity. Maybe a few thousand might watch any of MSNBC. No contest where the Candidates will go in the home stretch for their Media coverage.

Don't tell me I don't have the right to make my own decisions regarding my own body.
Don't tell me I have to pray in school or learn about your religious views on creationism.
Don't tell me I can't marry the person I love if I'm gay or that I don't deserve the same legal rights as other married people.
Don't tell me I can't use birth control to prevent STDs and unwanted pregnancy.


1. Why is abortion ok and suicide not? Is it not one's own body in both cases.
2. Don't tell me I can't pray in school when other Religions rituals are accepted and in some cases forced into school systems.
Don't tell me I have to learn evolution if I don't believe in it. But, alas, it is taught. Creationism is not.
3. Let the states decide the 'terminology' for marriage. Most don't care if gays are given legal rights.. but, until the terminology of 'marriage' is changed, then, it is b/w a man/woman.
4. Birth control will not be outlawed. This is a scare tactic by the Left. Most know that.

Middle America is not predominately Liberal. Look at an Electoral Map. The only reason Democrats run close is due to the densely populated areas of the NE coast line and California. The rest of America is the bread basket and the South is a lot of textiles. The North is colleges, law professors, white collar ...or... the very poor. Not much Middle America inbetween. The West is Hollywoodish.

There is a logical/common sense reason why the Republicans are now running good in the polls. They have McCain, who is bi-partisan and Palin, who is Middle America.

Plus... Obama acknowledged.. even brought up in the forum on 9/11 that there is a great lopsided distribution in who serves in the Military..with the South and MidWest carrying the bulk of it. Obama, himself, admitted that the ..quote 'Urban' are not doing their part. You think this went over the heads of a lot of Democrats (who make up this Urbanness)? Nope. It just isn't being splattered on the Liberal News... since they are so preoccupied with Sarah Palin. ... because if they did make it newsworthy amongst those who watch their 'News'...there would be a lot of 'doubt' in the minds of the younger Voters when they go to cast their vote.

Who has the right temperament to be a great leader?
Posted: 9/12/2008 9:28:58 PM
Since Obama has no Overseas experience except for a basketball game and a speech at a concert with free food and drinks... plus, he has been campaigning most of his time in the senate...grabbing whatever seat he can... has voted present, undecisive, 130 times... has close ties to criminals, etc. etc.

John McCain has served his Country honorably...understands the real mechanics of the military, i.e. the surge, .. has the best qualifications for Commander-in-Chief, is known for years and years of bi-partisanship, no porky earmarks, etc.

McCain/Palin definitely..without a doubt!

ABC's Charles Gibson lands First interview with Sarah Palin
Posted: 9/12/2008 9:22:05 PM
Wow! The Liberals are after Sarah Palin. They are sweating bullets. (pun intended).

That part 1 of the interview was very well handled by Palin. The Bush Doctrine consists of 4 parts...very complex and complicated...since it's terms the Media have tagged and is not an actual doctrine like the Monroe one. And, has changed over time. Charlie boy didn't bother to explain that to Sarah. So, Sarah took what is commonly regarded as Part 4 of this 'doctrine' and gave the reply based on it since it was the most recent. To hear the Liberal Media though...geez!

And, Hollywood is mocking and imitating her... supposedly to make fun of her and make Sarah look bad. Butttt, it's doing just the opposite. Does Hollywood and the Liberal hackets have no clue that they are simply making Sarah more appealing to Middle America by lying about her and bashing her.

It looks like McCain's VP pick is Sarah Palin
Posted: 9/12/2008 10:09:16 AM
Wow! Over 80 pages and counting. All this on a VP choice.

A woman who doesn't define or bow down to the PCish view of what feminist representation must be. She wears her choice.. skirts, blouses, jackets, heels... and does it with no apologies. She exercises her choice to be pro life ... and... does it with no excuses. Sarah Palin runs a state and has an 80% plus approval rating doing it. Palin was thrown into the glare of the Media and takes the licks..while she keeps on beating!

I believe we are probably at 'checkmate'. The other side just refuses to topple their king piece.

The more the Media gets off topic, the more the Democrats make insulting remarks re' Sarah Palin, the more she demonstrates her knowledge, composure, resolve and experience in dealing with attacks.

Rock on Sarah!

Thank Goodness the Republican VP choice Sarah Palin knows she is qualified to be VP and is not of the mindset that the Democrat VP Joe Biden is when he said that Hillary Clinton is probably a better choice for VP than him.

ABC's Charles Gibson lands First interview with Sarah Palin
Posted: 9/11/2008 8:36:48 PM

apparently.... Palin went on there saying that NATO should immediately admit Georgia in...then went on a tirade about it all, using 1950's mentality about America being the watchdog of the world...and if a military conflict with Russia is a result...so be it


Palin spoke on the subject of NATO, of which the USA is a member, and all of what Palin said is absolutely very appropriate. Sarah Palin did not go into a tirade.

Should we keep God out of Politics?
Posted: 9/11/2008 8:33:56 PM
We should have the right to praise God or not. It should not be an absolute in either direction. We should not be forced to...but..we should always have the right ....to

Just as those who do not believe (which is a belief within it's own parameters) in God and do not want God to enter into America's politics... those who wish to use God's name... should not be told they cannot.

Sarah Palin demonstrated that she is made of the stuff to be VP!

She's going to do great for the rest of the campaign!

First her intro with McCain
The speech during the RNC
Being scrutinized under a microscope
Being torn to shreds by the Liberal media and Obama lapdogs
The first installment of this interview

Sarah Palin is showing day by day, hour by hour that she is ready to lead if she had to right now.

Significant lead in polls for McCain
Posted: 9/11/2008 12:01:10 PM
Gallup Polls today has McCain leading Obama by 4 pts still. Looks like it is a sustained momentum vs simply a bounce.


The GOP has been masterful in controlling the media agenda and the news cycle.


Actually it's the Liberal biased Media which is taking the spanking...because ... they have been blatantly biased. FOX is the only one which is mostly fair and unbiased. Which is why their ratings continue to soar.

There's a poll I saw on TV... probably can be found on the Internet..where approx. 60% of Americans believe the Media to be biased and over half (around 55%) of that number says it is biased to the Left...with 14-15% saying it's biased to the Right and the rest.. undecided.

How so? Either they will find something, or they won't and they'll pick up their toys and go home. How will that backfire? Are you saying the republicans haven't had 'lapdogs' after Obama for a year and a half?


The Republicans didn't have to. The Clinton camp did the job. Just as Obama did to Clinton. The Republicans simply sat back and watched the dirt fly amongst the Democrat camps.

Even the Reporters in Alaska (following the debacle of Chris M. and Keith O's very biased hateful strikes against the Republicans) are leery of putting 'spin' on stories ... to not be labeled biased like MSNBC...so, that's a good thing. More real, objective reporting. With that will come less and less of the mud slinging since the Networks - thanks to MSNBC's horrid and blatant reporting - will not want to see their ratings tank like MSNBC and NBCs.

More Republican games. But, I thought the GOP was the party of values and truth? Guess not.

Considering Blue states are on average wealthier than Red states I think maybe you should look a little deeper into what may have factored in its decline.


Need to look at an Electoral map. The Blue states have the most densely populated areas which is why they have more votes in those states. With the more populace concentrated into a few states, there will be more welfare and foreclosures, etc. It's the law of averages working... and Red states.

The Blue states may be more wealthy ... but, look at why. They live and consume in the cities where the higher paying jobs are. These are mainly white collar jobs.

The rest of the Nation is supported by Middle America and thus, farming, small businesses, service industry, etc. which is not as high paying as law professors, attorneys, etc. but, necessary for the overall health of the Nation.

All it takes is one look. See how many actual states are solidly Blue (very few) and how many are solidly Red (the majority) and the location of the states. Middle America surpasses other demographics in land mass, location, etc. It truly is the bread basket of America. But, the major problems come in the densely populated Blue states. Just the way it is.

The Democrats are going to have to keep their foots out of their mouths to stay close to McCain/Palin. Stuff like the lipstick remark will die out...but, Dem. leader Fowler's remark about Palin being McCain's choice for VP because she has not had an abortion...well...that will stick in people's minds.

Plus, the 40 plus lapdogs in Alaska trying to dig up dirt on Palin..will...backfire on the Democrats.

Unless some real dirt is dug up on Palin or McCain, I wouldn't guess their polling numbers will decline much at all. I do anticipate Obama/Biden's to probably still have room for drops.

McCain may very well keep rising in the Polls if the stuff like this keeps up:

Just heard on FOX...(turned to MSNBC and they aren't carrying it yet...of course)...that the South Carolina Democratic Chairperson issued a statement that said Sarah Palin's qualification for Republican VP is that she has not had an abortion.

Wow!

The Democrats just keep on .... keeping on...
Horrible..
