You can call me paranoid, call me names. Just look at what he's doing. Energy, economy, military, and social division of those that disagree with him.

We DO look at what he's doing Blue, that's why we prefer him so massively over the corporate suk-up, Christian fundamentalist, anti-porn, war on drugs, men make the choices for women, anti-anybody-but-white-guy folks you're putting up!

Rush has always been a bloated buffoon that craves any kind of attention. The fact that some people look to him for guidance is just sad and pathetic. Even Rush knows he is a joke.

If Conservatives were smart, they would disown him. But they don't...hmmmm

I'm putting up??? Who are you talking about?

corporate suk-up? You don't think Obama is that?

Christian fundamentalist, anti-porn, war on drugs, men make the choices for women, anti-anybody-but-white-guy

And you call me an extremist??? You really think all that crap? In regards to whom in particular?

It's ok, you're about to have four more years to make up fictions like this.

Hi Everyone,

Let us see how long it takes Hardman, official hitman for ST, to summarily execute me this time - without so much as even a reading any charges. If one is going to exert power, it is nice if he or she advises people of the particular high crimes and misdemeanors they have reputedly committed.

RE: taxpayer funded contraception: It is one of the best investments we can make. There are too many of us on this planet,as it is. The entitlements far surpass what we, as a society, can logically afford. Birth control is generally very inexpensive. The very last thing we need is to bring forth yet more people born unto persons who can ill-afford to support them and who will, ultimately, further burden the tax-payer. Given the status of our current entitlements, I say make government-funded contraception available to EVERYONE and ANYONE who wants it. It is a humane and sensible way to cut down on over-population and the already over-extended entitlements.

Survival, it is best to not to be too sure of that outcome. While I the incumbent has a decided advantage, I don't feel the outcome is in the bag at all. Obama is not a sure bet, by any means. It is going to be rough going for both sides.

Lush Rimjob hasn't aired any commercial spots with him doing a "live" voice-over endorsement in the last week, or so--those used to be his bread and butter gigs.

Gone for now, along with the dollars from them...

Tell me exactly what is "wrong" with ANYBODY saying we have to make good decisions about the cars that we buy. Like maybe we all should not drive Hummers?

And what is wrong with saying that all of us have to face the certainty that we live in a world of peak oil, and consequently to expect high gas prices.

And yes, we all do have to "sacrifice" some of our money and grow up, the days of
cheap gas are long gone, in case you can't figure that out.

What?

YOU don't understand basic supply and demand of crude oil?

Then go take back to high school and take some real easy classes on economics.

Meet the Roberts electric car. Built in 1896, it gets a solid 40 miles to the charge — exactly the mileage Chevrolet advertises for the Volt, the highly touted $31,645 electric car General Motors CEO Dan Akerson called “not a step forward, but a leap forward.”

As the New York Times reported September 5, “For General Motors and the Obama administration, the new Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid represents the automotive future, the culmination of decades of high-tech research financed partly with federal dollars.”

Like “green technology’s” most powerful proponent, President Barack Obama, the 1896 Roberts was made in Chicago. Obama, who supports the $7,500 tax credit for the Volt, is not fazed by its 40-mile electric limit — he only drove the car 10 feet.

Yes, you're right, TGT.

Now my lovely and nutty home state of AZ is working a law through its legislature whereby employers could demand proof that birth control is being used for non-contraceptive purposes and religious groups could terminate employees for using contraceptives, regardless of where those contraceptives were obtained.

Someone please enlighten me as to who such a law would benefit, or how taking on this fight helps the republicans. Insurance companies? Doubtful any insurance exec I know would prefer to pay for pregnancy/birth/and a brand new dependent rather than pennies for birth control pills. Employers? Doubtful employers like paying for maternity leave and adding another dependent to their insurance rolls. Republican politicians? This latest dustup has done more to make them seem like barbaric cretins than the last five or so recent stumbles.

Why oh why have they embarked on this path??

What is "wrong" with it Norton is that talk is cheap. Anyone can say anything - as you and I well know. What matters is what you actually do - not what you say. Much of his administrative policy and decisions are such that they do not actually combat high prices - taking the bull by the horn. In fact, in some cases, they actually foster it.

Now, my personal preference is Gingrich although I would agree that he is not esp electable. He definitively and specifically outlines measures to combat high gas prices and bring the trend downward.

I would say right now, Norton, the hard-core Dems such as yourself are underestimating the resentment of the rank and file toward gas prices. Remember what happened to Jimmy Carter. Ultimately, first and foremost, people vote with their pocketbooks and wallets.

Last week, the Obama Administration sought to increase the Chevrolet Volt purchaser tax credit from $7,500 to $10,000.

All this for a car so dangerous to first responders that the Department of Energy allocated $4.4 million dollars for programs to prevent fire fighters from electrocuting themselves while trying to rescue crash victims.

“There is a yellow First Responder cable “cut” tag wrapped around the low volt positive battery cable behind the fuse panel door, located on the left side of the rear compartment (see diagram on next page). This cable should be cut first to disable the vehicle safely before beginning any extrication. The cable should be cut on both sides of the label to ensure the cut cable ends do not inadvertently touch and re-energize the vehicle.”

General Motors also warns that “cutting these cables can result in serious injury or death.”

Hence the need for spending $4.4 million in taxpayer money to train firefighters across the country to protect themselves from a car that the government paid people $7,500 per unit to purchase.

Knot to worry, Bob, knot to worry. Hardman will catch-on soon enough and then he will summarily execute me without benefit of reading the charges, or anything remotely resembling due process.
