I can't see how any Christian can vote for any modern corporate lackey Republican who will just shaft the American people they more corporate cronyism. I like REAL discussion. Abortion and gay marriage is off the table because the Republicans don't plan on really addressing those issues. This is about rather you'll be able to afford health insurance. This is about rather you'll be able to afford groceries. This is if you'll keep your job so you can feed your family. This is about bread and butter issues. The Republicans have given corporations cart blanche permission to move more and more of American jobs overseas without upholding fair trade principles that protect foreign workers and domestic production.

Most loonies I know here who don't like Obama think he's a Muslim who won't say the Pledge. This has been thoroughly debunked by fact checkers but loonies still believe it because they're so gullible. If that's happening here in the U.S. ....I can only imagine what kind of insanity is being said about him in Brazil.

I look back at all that foolishness and realize that the conservative paranoia is down right laughable. Bush, a conservative Republican has proven to be the closest thing we've had to a dictator in America's history. While Bush didn't commit adultery...Bush is a war mongering, globalist, who's policies have nearly eviscerated Constitutional liberties via the Patriot Act. I think McCain is far more terrifying than Obama. Obama may not only make history...he may be our generations great orator like Abraham Lincoln. (Remember Lincoln was viewed by his political opponents as a radical liberal.)
I remember hearing, when Clinton was running for office, that it had been prophesied over him that he would be elected governor of Arkansas, President of the USA, and that he'd usher in the anti-Christ. Like Meatloaf said, "Two out of three ain't bad!"

I wonder if the political hacks would prophesy such doom and gloom if we could stone them if they got it wrong?

Absolutely. And meteorologists should only get paid for the days for which they correctly forecast the weather!

If I was a weatherman my forecast for every single day would be as follows:


Folks, it might rain today. Then again, it might be sunny. It might be hot today. Then again, it might be cold.

Why is that Sister Alvear? How's the Amazon? How I long to get a lawn chair and sit in the middle of the jungles, in the midnight hours. I'm sure the sounds would be relaxing.



P.S. I would also have a 44mag on my lap

Well then you wouldn't be a meteorologist, would you? You'd be a populist!

Maybe that kind of a catch-all forecast is a sign of a defeatist?
