Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

woot

ARE YOU READY !!???

I am liking Mitt. I have debate fever!!!

I'm Ready ;0)

just can't bring myself to say the words "president Mitt"..what the heck is "Mitt" short for? Milton?

okay I think I got it now

http://isleofran.org/cc-countdown.htm

Hey....
More for Mitt....

REPEAT FROM END OF PRIOR THREAD
For those that want change and support Obama, After HRC and Billary chew him up....

Mitt will welcome you to join in the revolution for a better America

ready for what?

pfffffft Ping!

Craig:
1) What is Crist waiting for? 5 days to go and he's still neutral.
2) Point of no return. I was thinking, as it went down, that after Hillary had about 4 minutes, at least , to formulate a "Wal*Mart" comeback, she leaned in and screamed "REZKO!" "SLUMLORD"!!
I honestly thought that right there she had crossed the Rubicon, and left B.O. forever.
3) Veep? My man Evan Bayh didn't make the cut, eh?
Thanks for the history lesson about JFK/LBJ...if those two could co:exist, B.O. and Hill can, too.

Craig do you really sit on top of Westminster Towers to film..... This is the old people home for those that do not know Orlando - THe back drop of the Downtown is a view from this Old Peoples Tower..
Maybe Craig has an early reservation

Who let the dogs out? Mitt! Mitt!

Obama gave an ad here in SC to the effect that he will be able to work with republicans to get health care......this is the first indication that I've seen that Mr. Obama is fulla crap.....if he thinks he's going to work with republicans he's delusional.....seriously so.

Good Evening Crawdads and Trailmixers

Ready to rumble?

Mitt was just gettin jiggy widdit

Ping,

Mitt is The Gooney Republican's answer to "We R DEVO". lol I just couldn't vote for Mitt Romney. It would feel too much like "White Men Can't Jump" Totally off equalibrium.....did I explain it well enough for you? ;0)

sturgeone: true dat

Tylenol: You make fun of Mitt, but don't poke humor at "Milton". That just happens to the middle name of every Dexter paternal ancestor going back to Merrie Olde England.

Sturg,
Obama's going to work with the Republicans all right. He is going to mess around and get one elected.

Ty,,,,
Be ready - HRC has many negatives....
Brother Mitt - give him a chance

BTW on the whole Rezco Wal-mart bit

Obama was with Rezco to get assistance for low income families. He was stupid to take a favor from the man

Hillary was with Wal Mart to get funds and support for The Childrens Defense Fund and was stupid to get smeared in the proces

They were both laying down with dogs for their own purposes and getting up with fleas

Tie Game. It's called Politics.

Is the debate streamed.

Ran - I get the video but it contines to be very jumping? Maybe my connection?

Zoey,,,,,YOu know not what you speak. :0)

Just like you Sheila. Just like you.

give Mitt a chance? Whaddya, NUTS??

sturgeone,
that's one example of why i think he's still too wet behind the ears to be prez. he needs to get a bit more seasoning first. he can cut his teeth as hillary's vp.

Dexter

Milton"

You come from a long line of poets?

He is Truely DEVO. he just needs a hat.

almost forgot...that resort in that town where craig went to spend part of the December holidays was shown in the distance on a report from there focussing on the FL primary...it was NBC Nightly News one day last week.

Sorry, I'm a true blue liberal.. Uncle Mitt drives me crazy..

and Dexter.. I would never, ever, make fun of the name Milton.. I just can't figure out how anyone gets stuck with the moniker "Mitt"

Okay, so now the Kucincih supporters can really get behind Ron Paul.

I, of course, think Zoey makes fine sense.....

tylenol...

It's better than mutt.

God Bless

The Editorial Board's Choices for the Primaries

The editorial board of The New York Times is endorsing
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic
presidential nomination and Senator John McCain as the
Republican nominee.

nannymm

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Shall we stroll off into the fog together?

Ty-
You get stuck with Mitt when your real name is Willard-

Mitt vs. a rat movie star

Ping Pong: I'm not sure, my Media Player isn't working. I can't view it to see if it came out right and the raw video is too big to upload right now. oh well

lol anon

Craig

Did you get me an OWL?

jamie, i feel the love. :-) and, of course, great minds think alike.

Mitt's Nicknames

Here is something for you PIng...and of course anyone else that would like to see all the nicknames Massachusetts gave Romney.

http://eyeopener.typepad.com/mass_eye_opener/2007/06/a_guide_to_the_.html

I just read today that David Frum is advising Rudy.. that's it..it's game over.. Rudy might as well go home now..

From Wikipedia:

"He was named "Willard" after hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott, his father's best friend. Mitt, his middle name, comes from his father's cousin Milton Romney, who played quarterback for the Chicago Bears from 1925 to 1929."

jamie...my first college lit prof noticed my name right away...got me interested enuf to pursue a bit of knowledge about John Milton....

HERE WE GO...jamie...I, too noticed the hardball owls.....

Did tt figure out if she could live stream the debate on her computer? I can...so I hope she can!

Brian Williams
Tim Russert's trophy wife

aha! milton!

tylenol, please dont send him back home to NY. we don't want him!!

Well the debate is on. The Nazi's against Ron Paul a true believer in the Constitution like Kucinich.

God Bless.

Rudy's campaign was never serious. In California alone he signed on with every loser consultant of every arch conservative election lost in the last 25 years.

KGC always cracks me up :)

Mitt has on a blue tie. Is that some kind of signal?

The "Genius" Speaks...

Rudy's after the bucks..........small wonder?

Nahhhhhhh.

what the heck is mitt talking about???? who has money to save, tax free or otherwise???

this is how important the presidential election is: If Reps win.. Rudy gets a seat at the cabinet table.. ya DONT want that..

Loosening FHA requirements sounds really ifie.

Brian Williams
Tim Russert's trophy wife

SCANDALOUS!!!!!

McCain wants to make the bush tax cuts permanent......ye gods.....do they still make people this ungodly stupid....?

DOES mccain always whistle when he speaks?

nannymm

The crowd debating think $150 K is just barely middle class :-)

We Need Industry you stupidos!

"Let's Make the Tax Cuts Permanent". Can't these guys sing another song?

Dex,

His dentures might be loosening....

So.. the american economy is now all based on consumerism.. is it any wonder that after every disaster Dubya tells everyone to go out and shop?

sturgee: he wants to reduce corporate taxes first and foremost, but they ALL do!

I think Giuliani wears glasses to minimize the effects of his bug eyes thing he does

Sheila: get that geezer some dental cement!

Dexter

Yes. It's one of the results of his torture (broken teeth jaw) as is the swelling on the left side of his face plus not being able to lift his arms because of multiple breaks and bad knitting of bones.

I know how we could cut got spending
ending the war in eyeracl

Cutting spending sounds great to me. Let's start with all spending for Iraq. Nothing further will need to be cut.

Kathy....{HUG} Good to see you!

why nannymm
you are brilliant

I thought the side of his face was because of melanoma?

Oh man McCain don't speak Reagan Revolution too much. The rest of the World is watching.

Kathy: Rudy's bug eyes ain't NUTHIN' like John Edwards when he gets a-goin'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now mccain is name-dropping to cover his stupid ass

wow, the party sure started without me. what did i miss? have none of them hit mccain on voting against bush tax cuts? amazing

OMG Katherine, I just spit out my wine!!! That was the funniest line I've read!

My thinking at this moment is that if we nominate McCain it would be the same as when we nominated Dole. Done before the general even starts. I think the Dem canidates think the the same thing too and that is why the mention him so much.

kgc and nannymm

Where would the generals go to play with their tanks?

Ty LOL

WOW HUCK! Good POINT!

KGC....right back at ya

jamie...now you make me feel bad for making fun of Insane Mccain...i guess i deserve that one

CraIG, NOT TOO LATE This is going to be a lame but interesting debate

GO Huckaboo! Stimuli plans as Chinese fortune cookies

they all agree with mccain, craig

jamie, they can all go to crawford, tx.

um.. dexter.. dont feel too bad.. he IS insane..

sheila thats why huck is dangerous

jack

Bingo...Mitt brought up McCain voting against the Bush tax cuts.

Romney just quietly hit McCain on the tax cuts.

Hi Sheila!

Agree a very lame debate- it seems strange to see so many on stage - it was a lot more interesting with 3 dems- but Timmy is going to make it be a Mitt v McCain fight

LOL Of Course he is Jack, but there has to be humor in this somewhere. If I can't be snarky with Huckabee, where can I snark?

Tylenol

Here's a run down of his torture and injuries. I don't have to agree with him politically to respect him for some of the stands he took when it was important and others were suffering.

http://www.b-29s-over-korea.com/book_reports/The-John-McCain-Story02.html

cant believe it took 15 min. to nail mccain on tax-cut flip flop

waitin for 'em all to gang up on Romney

damn ......i thought mccain wanted to make the bush tax cuts permanent....not so?

Fifteen minutes and not one question to Ron Paul. Not to fair a debate it seems.

God Bless.

I wasnt being flippant, jamie.. i really did think that face thing was his cancer

so what words are using for the drinking game

Got a half gallon of whsikey

craig...they seem to accept that mccain was FOR the cuts after he voted against them

just be4 the debate, he went on for 2 minutes about that...(CNN)

Well speaking of the Devil. I no sooner mention they haven't ask Paul anything yet and they go and make me a liar.

God Bless.

100 comments in 32 minutes GOgoGO !

TY,
The face thing is scare tissue bulit up under his skin from removing the cancer.

are there even any regulations left to get rid of?

"whsikey"
I think you have had enough already Jack.

sometimes poor ron sounds like barney fife begging andy for a bullet

how has that deregulation worked out for regular folk Ron Paul?

ground zero, twin towers, but no mention of 9-11 yet.

citizen's a-ray-est......citizen's a-ray-est!

my gosh don't even need to do a spoof of Giuliani, he's doing pretty well on his own

where's the fireworks? don't they realize that Mitt is going to buy this primary if they don't stop him tonight?

That's the problem here. ALL of them...I take that back. Only Ron Pauls sees the danger in our economy. The rest are feeding into the lie.

You might not like what he says, but he is honest with his answers.

God Bless.

PS: The Ghoul brought up 9\11 already.

"sometimes poor ron sounds like barney fife begging andy for a bullet" LOL@ Craig

Wonder if the Dems would even know who owns what building? Some of them...maybe.

off topic
Was thinking today about the whole experience thing-

Could Bill Clinton of 1992 be elected today?

Craig,

just maybe they don't want to look like the DEMS tonight. But its early.

craig.....maybe they're like false bidders.....just making him pay as high a price as possible.....

Ron Paul: more like Aunt Bea when whining how she can't beat Clara Edwards' pickles at the county fair....

Ty

I know you weren't. Dexter wasn't aware of everything. Strictly an information post.

Good run down of Bush disaster on economics.

Yep McCain is nuts. Put Dems in and it will get worse.

I could use that kind of worse.

Pork most of which was Republican pork.

Totally thinking there needs to be a little enthusiam or life in these guys, I do not want to hang my head shame!

Kathy, wasn't bill a 4 term governor by 92?

John...The Dems will change priorities...ergo, they will change what the $ is spent ON....

ARRGH
McCain labeling democrats as doing all the things the Bush regime has done-

How many times has McCain said Bridge to Nowhere?

craig's right: Mitt has already spent $40 mil OF HIS OWN dough and has almost $200 mil in the bank, in his everyday checking acct.

these guys are playing nice so they look united compared to the Democrats

"the only guy at the UN without a headset" -- Huckman strikes again

ran and Sheila think alike

hucksterbee is just itching to say...".the guy who lays you off"

JennBe...Re: your earlier post. I think McCain is the only candidate you have who has a prayer of beating the Dem candidate...given that the Dems don't defeat themselves with in-fighting.

there's my boy huck sounds like a demo

Bridge to nowhere? EVERY time he speaks...it's his "Rudy's 9-11"

He may be dangerous, but Huckabee knows who his supporters are. The poorest Republicans and the Christian Right.

Hearing about it may get old, but McCain is right about the Bridge to Nowhere....

if washington is so bad, why is he spending so much dough to get there?

Mittens ...the Democrats should just reprint all those editorials saying he isn't fit to be president

Someone needs to ban the word change from use in the campaigns, I'm over it....

there was Romney's winning pitch: no DC connections -- of the top three, he's the only who can run away from Bush -- Democrats: do not laugh but BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID of this man

He may be dangerous, but Huckabee knows who his supporters are. The poorest Republicans and the Christian Right

True , that is why he's dangerous for the demos

jack

McCain may be a war hero......but he's just about a dumbass......

Craig- do you really think that Romney is the Ds biggest threat? Please explain.

We're succeeding. No wonder the media hasn't mentioned the 35 dead and more than 70 wounded in Mosul.

John, Their relatives are probably complaining.

the white flag of surrender jeebus. who with a functioning brain will fall for this nonsense

oh right nevermind

Sturgeone

Brave does not equal Brilliant except for two letters.

Sturg, He's not a dumbass. He's pounding that lie in so he will convince ultra conservaatives and he can save their !@#$

I'm beginning to agree with you on Mitt too. There is just much animosity against McCain in the party.

SHeila.....i know what youre saying.....but not so....the man is a bona-fide dumbass....I saw him live.....

Finish, Win, Successful, Huh?

When will we know we are finished
What will we win?
How will we know we are successful?

there will never be success in iraq untill we get out of the way and let them work out their own problems

One DEMs Dumbass is another republican's Savior Sturg babe. We speak a different language

Anyone want to sign up for enrolling in JennBe's School of Typing?

they cant just say it was worth it. chicken chits.

well we know who they are afraid of and it ain't Obama

Out of all the Rs I fear McCain the most- I know of many solid dems who still like him- a lot- and those who do not like him respect him.

Then there are those like Mathews who fawn over him-

woo hoo Ron Paul

Jennbe, Poor Typing is a sign of passion... lol

I guess of all the Republicans Romny his money and ability to shape shift is a problem

Sheila.....I dont doubt it.....I only speak my language.....and Im only a democrat because that is the furthest you can get from republican......

OH HUCK.....P U

Kathy, remember Ward Cleaver? i joke a lot about him being Eddie Haskell. But Romney is really Ward -- he offends no one. Even the Clinton's will find it tough to get a handle on him. Vague and inoffensive in a neat and trim package -- tough to beat

Ha! I knew he'd give a straight answer. NO...the war wasn't worth it! Good answer, Ron!

Did any one read or catch on the news today something about Iraq wanted the Troops to step back so that they can take over?

I wasn't united. A lot of people were yelling at me back then. Some still aren't speaking to me.

Mitt
If it was worth it....why didn't you encourage your sons to enlist

Romney is a creep. It was the rupugs that got us into Iraq and it's their job to get us out.
THERE WAS NO AL-QUEDA in Iraq until George Bush let them establish themselves there!
Ron Paul makes sense...to hell with the rest of them! Huckabee is a lost soul...supporting Bush...WMD=Easter eggs?

CUT AND RUN!....Romney is just so FAR off base! Petraeous is just an ass-kissing Bush bootlicker !!!

think Dems could do the Goldwater nuclear madman routine on mccain

such bs answers on the war- they still talk about it like it is a military battle -

what the their expectation on the role of the Iraqi govt??

Point taken and agreed Sturg. Just pontificating.

Like I said, you may not like most or all of his politics, but he is truthful.

God Bless.

and obama thinks he can work with these guys???

Kathy: I believe Bill Clinton was the country's senior governor.

Craig is correct in reminding everyone that Mitt looks like the guy that either fired you or laid you off. Everyone needs to be reminded of that fact. How much more of his money will his wife allow him to spend on this campaign?

yo soy Horsedooty!

McCain would probably welcome the comparison to Dr Strangelove

Craig...I suppose it's too much to hope for that the bulk of the electorate will remember how often Romney has changed positions in his quest to find the one that will get him the vote of the voter in front of him.

pontification appreciated...

Nannymm -- exactly - Obama's claims that he can work with these guys is not realistic.

Jennbe

Hate to tell you, but that is part of the probably illegal negotiation that Bush is trying to get us into Iraq where our personnel will be confined to one area except for training purposes at the Iraqis request and then we won't be able to send out our own protective forces.

Can you say permanent presence in American compound all for the sake of oil access?

Listen to katy Crack!!! Mitt's sons AND HE, himself, have run like yellow bellied cowards every time a president called for its patriots to defend the nation!
ROMNEY IS A PHONY SCUMBAG !

4 sons and all are chickenshits!!

dexter...

Very good review of the last question. It wasn't worth it.

God Bless

Romney made his money in hedge funds
I thought fry said they were the root of all evil
and the cause of the current economic downfall

i think craig is right. the dems will make mc cain look like a crazy old coot. but romney is another story. he'll be the toughest to beat.

this could interesting but probably not

Shouldn't Romney be a news reader on FOX? He's already got the hair.

Only for Edwards, kgc! That's fry's mantra....

Fry said something? I must have missed it.

GAWD!!! We aren't competing with China????? Geez! Now that's a down right lie. CHina is the new world leader. We've been sold down the river. The Yangzee River and its pretty poluted....

wow Rudy just implied Bush's foreign policy sucks

Isn't Mitt's questions a softball?

so why did romney use his question to quiz rudy about china? he's got somethin up his sleeve

I would like to know what Romney will do to prevent the influx of POISON toys, dog food, human food, etc., that's coming in from China.

I don't always agree with Barnacle, but he said recently that Mass. residents arent too pleased about Mitt.. seems they are pissed off that he was running for president just about as soon as he moved into the governor's mansion

Romney, big shot...all for the war...where are his credentials? Where is his C.I.B.?
Cuz if you sound off how you are for sending young folks to fight in a war, you better have a combat infantry badge, or its equivalent...SOMETHING...not a history of deferments.

Rudey. Copy Cat. China will never buy as much as we have from them. Its like Crack Cocaine to us.

Mitt is smooth and cool as a cucumber. He is the consumate CEO. I met him once and ran into him 2 weeks later and he recognized me. Not an empty vessel there. Some view him as the businessman this country needs to get us back on the right track, especially now that the electorate is concentrating on the economy as their number 1 issue. Like Craig says he is the slim, trim, Washington outsider. He is very dangerous.

harbor, he's not gonna do a damned thing! he buys the expensive stuff that doesn't come from china.

hehehe craig.. yer such a cynic..

Dr. Phil gets his props (from Huckabee)

MBA president how did the work out

Did all these guys get together and agree on what questions they would ask each other? Isn't Huck just dying to make a pitch for the fair tax?

just 3 posts short of 200 for 1 hour

Ty

Obama has been running for President ever since coming to the Senate two years ago. Politicians are almost always running for the next office that they can see opening.

what's with this Giuliani thing saying that they were discussing who was going to ask whom a question, the fix is in, this isn't a debate this is a free Republican commercial

Huck....2 points....fair tax BS exposed.

Interesting response...I'd be willing to read that, just so I could try to understand if he's telling the truth. Damn! He is funny!

all the dems have to do is say LOOK what happened last time ya went with a washington outsider!

Cuz if you sound off how you are for sending young folks to fight in a war, you better have a combat infantry badge, or its equivalent...SOMETHING...not a history of deferments.

yes, goddammit, yes.

the huck thing is dishonest because he is conflating all the payroll taxes. Is he planning on getting rid of social security too

look what happened last time we went with an inexperienced candidate?

labber: looks like we have the same thoughts, each one has asked each one a question very odd

so how did mccain think he would score points with conservatives by seeming ridicule the fair tax? straight talkin his way to losing another big-state primary

McCain - I don't know anything, but I know a lot of people who don't know anything.

Was that Graham Rudeman?

JennBe...What are you thinking as you listen to these men? I want to know a Republican perspective on what they're saying.

I wish I could see this thing like CC sees it.........

craig.. they're all broke except romney right? how can they go into SuperDOOPER (gawd I hate MSNBC sometimes) Tuesday if they're broke?

Why don't they all just come armed and have a duel

I'm wondering why too Craig. Thought it was super Uber Stupid of him. he has to take the rest of Hucks supporters or he's toast

oh i agree...mccain will lose FL...romney now gaining points with NRAs

Don'tcha just love that little smirk just gave Huck!

oops, Romney just gave Huck

When McCain laughs he sounds like a chipmunk

Talk to the ins co and get their advice? That's a good jab

an OLD chipmunk

Criag,

I'm sorry but Rudy is clueless. Someone has been feeding him things he hasn't studyed in the first place.... He sounds like Bush Jr

Craig...If Romney gets the nod, can't we expect to see his "Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof!" over and over and over? The man seems incredibly uncomfortable unless he's around people of his own social and economic status.

if it's hillary vs romney will the evangelicals all stay home in nov?

look how slick ole romney is there -- supports national catastrophic "effort" instead of "fund"

LOL Oh oh....Rudy flobs again

well if it is Hillary v Romney apparently according to their opponents it will be a really low turn out year and each side will be voting for the other's candidate

damn! romney just OBLITERATED rudy there...

romney will make mincemeat out of obama.

now that would make a switch, nanny!

I doubt that Nannymm
