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

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!

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.

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-

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

woo hoo Ron Paul

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

JennBe -- Romney's natural look seems to be a smirk. Maybe he's just smirking because he knows it doesn't matter what anybody else says. He's the only one with the money to go on regardless of what happens in Fla.

well, so far the romster winning by default -- yet another victory for the most money and hair -- mccain and guiliani now need a knockout punch, not beating him on technicals

but watch carefully nanny.. some of those states may put props on their ballots that brings out the eeevangelical vote

what's the problem with baling out the insurance companies --isn't that what Shrub is doing with the Bond insurers...I'm sure Romney would support that fund

Sheila

"Someone has been feeding him things he hasn't studyed in the first place"

Briefing books with pretty colored tabs for every possible subject that might be encountered. Then drill, drill, pracice, videotape, and practice some more.

Some candidates can do it other can't most are too lazy and try to fake it.

Oh Man, Can We Say Bush league....Rudy.

Yes nanny I think you are right.

HW, I'm just not enthused about much that is being said. Points to Huck for wanting to take a stab at a different plan and points to Mitt for no new legislation and enforcing laws that are already in place, (I know he was talking about gun control but it should apply to may things).

I dont think giuliani has a knockout punch in him

"if it's hillary vs romney will the evangelicals all stay home in nov? -- Posted by: nannymm"

Two words, nannymm: GAS MONEY

When did Lieberman become a Democrat again?

Rudy coming back..good show with his greenhouse gas spiel

oy McCain
Joe Lieberman my pet Democrat

Oh - McCain goes back to name dropping to win the South Florida vote (except isn't it the South Fla DEMS that love Lieberman)

OK all you republicans. Say "Bicycles"

Is that by the same author who wrote

My Pet Goat

LOL craig

LOL! Sheila

Need a smoke break, BRB

Katy Crack:
Insane McCain keeps Senator Joey in a cellar like "The Gimp" in Pulp Fiction

POint Romney......Ok 1/2 to McCain.

Jennbe, what say you?

YOu too Ping. What do you really think?

Hope NBC has some change in format for part 3 - this is duller than I expected.

Jamies
It is a series

Jenna My Pet Sick Person
Laura Mynmar My Pet Oppressed People

nothing about a national energy policy.. i know they dont have one, but ya'd think someone would bring it up

"I dont think giuliani has a knockout punch in him."

Tylenol, I know a few New Yorkers that would gladly give Rudy that knockout punch.

Thanks for the response, JennBe. As an independent who's currently leaning left, I really appreciate your perspective. To be fair, however, I have to say this is probably a permanent lean to the left. I've done an awful lot of research in the past 4 years that has led me to some new conclusions about the role of government in our lives.

Dexter
Now there's a pictture ...

I must say........judging the winner of a republican debate is like votiing for the most handsome rodent.

Ty,

Thems Fightin Words.

Pulp Fiction contains my absolutely favourite movie line.. and it can't be repeated on a family blog

So far it has been extremely painful & tedious. There
is not a bit of freshness in this entire group.

well, Billary had better start figurin out how they're going to play the Mormon card

Did Rudy just concede, in his own way -- so nice to everybody

well Billary had better start figurin out how they're going to play the Mormon card

boxers or briefs

you KNOW mormons cant be trusted, craig!!

LOL @ Craig!

that wont be so tough craig. lots of repubs will never vote for a mormon.

well Billary had better start figurin out how they're going to play the Mormon card

Mittens morphing into Tom Cruise

Orrin Hatch is already running interference for Mitt on the Mormon flank...

I dont see anyone getting all warm and fuzzy about him either..

LOL@KCG
Boxers or Briefs?

judging the winner of a republican debate is like votiing for the most handsome rodent

Sturgeone, that's just...funny

You know they will, Craig!

YOU ARE WRONG ROMNEY!

Holy Underpants!!

there you go, Mitt just did a "hit job" on the former prez -- now Bill can roar back at him

Buddy, She at least can dance.,,,

Bill CLinton in the WH is better than a phony like you!

They could send one of those free Books of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price to all the voters.

Craig,

You might want to brush up

http://www.sacred-texts.com/mor/pgp/index.htm

Will the republicans decide their nominee based on who hates Hillary the most?

this is front page news tomorrow. Mitt smears Billary. lol

Let's see Clinton years --economy and peace

why wouldn't people want that

best question of the night

to Romney

"what do you mean?"

no answer

Romney just admitted he won't be working with the Democrats

Bill CLinton is licking his chops as we type!

"i am not concerned about the voters." -- Mitt Romney

'-- how's that for a "misleading" HRC radio ad???

hahaha awwwwwwww LOOKOUT MIttttt..INCOMING!!!

kgc...repubs dont want a good economy and peace...they want more tax cuts and perpetual war.

Katy Crack: at least we now know who will be run-mate...Tom Cruise

White Men Can't Jump....Mitt is a poster boy for that. He isn't in touch with us little guys

I bet he's concerned about the America his kids will inherit. They may inherit the whole damn country!

they got what they wanted, nanny

Have you noticed that Mitts getting so much more time than everyone else?

"Will the republicans decide their nominee based on who hates Hillary the most? -- Posted by: labber"

-- apparently so, labber -- really interesting tonight how they are blasting Hillary again -- they must think she's back on top, last couple of debates they had started goin after obama

He seems to be their annointed one.

yes they did, tylenol, and they aren't gonna give it up w/o a fight.

if it weren't so tragic, Romney's non-answer would be funnier than Sturgeone's last comment

Is he talking about a "lockbox"?

Exactlyt........"I dont care about the voters"........whadda sound bite.....

They are afraid to attack obama

Sheila,

The media has already selected him as the nominee. They just want a tussle with either McCain or Huck for looks and ratings but all the questions and commentary will annoint Mitt.

they wont be afraid to attack him if he's the dem nominee.

HW and anyone, I'm not hearing the things that make me a Republican being talked about. What happened to days when we spoke about believing the American people were smart enough to make their own decisions and didn't need the gov't to do it for them.

There seems to be a lot of pandering to different groups now instead of our original principles being the focus. BTW, I'm pro-choice (though I don't use that to make my decision when voting) and I'm not overly religious ( usually make it the Christmas Eve sermon at church each year).

points to huck for humor, most campaigns seem to be lacking in it.

well..in all honsty..there isnt much to choose from.. ya got huckleberry hound, ya got robot mitt, ya got Crazy McCain, and the mayor nobody liked until *whispers* 9-11

("He was a happy headed Ho".....will live in the annals of comedy minds everywhere.......)

it's amazing. tim is having to do what rudy and mccain won't do.

Jennbe,

A good ole fashioned Republican answer. So good to hear you say that.

he's back to saving that 2cents left after paying the bills each month. PATHETIC!!

I try not to disappiont!!

Craig, Too lame for words. its like the took a clue from the DEM's bad behavior and have misread the playbook. They should not have watched our debate on CNN.

huckabee takes a shot but still waiting on mccain and giuliani -- either they have given up or don't realize that this was their last chance to stop this man.
----Craig

CC.......or, as in cynical minds here and there see it, the fix is in and the game is already afoot......now theatre......all have agreed that Candidate X is in the big seat........and now they play it out......

Yes, JennBe...thank you! But be careful...with a little digging around into what makes these people (and their party) tick, you're in danger of leaning away from them....

tim is on a roll with his immigration questions.

Okay the questions they ask are so annoying! Why does the press always ask questions about a national language, no one cares!

If you guys are right, we better start finding out FAST where romney stands on some very iomportant issues...like the environment, among others.

yes sturgeone, could it be? the "fix is in" -- but i can't believe mccain accepts that

LOL Huck ,Points for humor.

it exposes them for the hypocrits they are jennbe

Only I get the impression that McCain, Huckabee, and Ron Paul aint in on it.........ie "out to lunch"

I was hoping McCain would panic the establishment

ha ha....cc.....quod erat demonstrandum........

Rudee : The Times hates me because I'm beautiful

I find it so funny that we all think the press stinks! and that we think they all attack our parties.

Why are they asking questions about campaigning and not issues? I'm geting fired up now!

Is John McCain still there?

well..this has been a slice of heaven.. but I gotta do a few things before Stewart/Colbert .. and I have an early day.. unless McCain LITERALLY knocks Mitt out... I'll see ya tomorrow

I've heard this "I've come down on the side of life" Like its a stump peace.....hey! It is his stump speech!

Is there anybody except us junkies who is awake at this point? Certainly not the majority of Florida's senior citizens.

Romney
If you want to know where I am standing
look at my feet

HW

Mitt's "ISSUE" page. A pretty paragraph for every possibility.

http://www.mittromney.com/Issues/index

that romney, he might not say much but he says it so darn well

g'night tylenol

not sure qed is what i meant.....but yes......some of them didnt get the memo........

I couldnt believe McCain would accept what he settled for after SC 2ooo. but he did........

Except no paragraph on "Environment" imagine that.

Honestly Gov't works better when you have one party in control of the Congress and the other in the Presidency.

Complete control usually ends up in more problems than solutions.

wow, how funny. question to mccain: Do you hate Romney. answer: I really like Giuliani

Thank you, Jamie! Now why didn't I think of that!?!

but doesn't romney's grin make your skin crawl? it's way too much like bush's grim. eeeeeewwwwww

Not this time Jennbe...... Not this time. Bush canceled that one

That was nice of McBush to stand up for Rudee while the moderators ground their heels in his face

I'm sure you did. Just got a fast link for you.

How come they don't grill Barrack or Hillary about how often they go to church or what faith they are!

I agree in principle, JennBe, but I don't think we can afford another 4 years of Republican "leadership" right now. There are an awful lot of people who are not rich, but who've been duped into voting rich.

Nannymm, I was thinking more along the lines of The Ken Doll of the 1960's.....Finally! I remember......

jennbe, no point in that. we dems don't care if they go to church.

This had to be the most boring debate ever!!!!

Huckabee was the only guy who was interesting.

now from the ridiculous to the maroons

no msgop for me

Well...Ron Paul has the last word...now good bye, Ron Paul.
And goodbye any hopes of derailing Romney.

Did I just see Judith Nathan going after John McCain? Is she trading up again?

well after that abrupt finish now we see how you-know-who can spin this whole debate into being bill clinton's fault

Well, nanny, we may not care about their church-going habits, but we also see them campaigning in church almost daily...at least, while they're in the south!

you hit the nail on the head shiela!!

Do we need a crystal ball--or is the general consensus that this was Romney's night & that he's on the way to win in Florida & be the likely rep. nominee?

Neither McCain, Rudy or Huckabee advanced their
forturnes at all.

Beady-Eye calls for Romney.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

LOL NO NO He won't go after Bill, He'll go after the She-Devil

HW, sometimes we all need to have things shaken up a bit!

for the record, I do like Barrack, a little!

ha, labber -- line of the night:

"Did I just see Judith Nathan going after John McCain? Is she trading up again? -- Posted by: labber"

Andrea is such a shill

labber....
nah! rudy isn't rich enough for judy nathan. mitt's more to her liking.

Nannymm Nannym! There's Ken!

He can invoke Reagan all the time!!

I love that you're so open-minded, Jenn! The things I've learned have certainly shaken many of my long-held political beliefs.

Craig

There it is 40 minutes after the hour. Only 10 minutes

yep jamies, can't believe it took that long

MOjo can be annoying but he does have good pulse on what's happening here in Florida.

Thank you, Craig. I have the greatest respect for you, so I am glad you enoyed my "line"

LOL LOOK,. Fun time Ken AKA Mitt Romney

http://www.manbehindthedoll.com/funtime.htm

good call on tweety --more time on Clinton bashing than anything else.

Huckster refused to be drawn into Clinton bashing

We should submit it to the JCIHCM page.

It's not quite up to the usual "I Hate Hillary Boy's Club" but close.

Power word: "Cloying" Gotta give CM credit for use of belittling language. He can plead so innocent, "It's all in the adjectives."

the only way i can look at matthews is to imagine that a giant hook is going to come out of the wings and jerk his ass off the stage.

LOL@ Sheila

Thanks HW! I'm learning from y'all that we all have the same problems and just different ways to try to solve them. Hope that made sense.

cloying
'mathews must have a word a day calendar

i'd pay to see that sturgeone

if matthews used "cloying" he took it from the comments of this blog......I'd bet ya.....

yep, KGC, that's why i took a pass on this mess -- done my work for the night -- gonna go find a foreign language film on satellite, maybe something existential in norwegian

romney promises "free rides for all veterans"...but will these people even be able to pass the entrance exams at their local JuCo?

http://www.slate.com/id/2182752/

Not sure its been posted but the NY Times has
endorsed Hillary for dems; McCain for reps.

Huckabee is genuinally a nice guy, that's why he can't get the nomination, he'd be clobbered by the Dems.

g'night craig

night all

Night Craig ;0)

Good Night all. Have a good evening.

Craig,

Enjoy the Norwegians.

what's that swedish pastiche about the DUVE........

the boss went home...PARTY TIME !!!

think it was a parody of a bergman ditty......

i can't wait till rudy is gone. i'm sick of listening to him. he sounds like a briken record.

make that broken record.

Sorry Guys, On A roll....

Mitt Romney AKA "Good Time Ken" Babree's boy. Different Views.

Oh Sorry,

Just went back and caught up on the posts before the debate, and found you guys riffing on Mitt's upper crust nickname. Reminded me of a boss I once had. Her nickname was Muffy.Sadly, she ended up marrying a man whose last name was Pickel (pronounced Pickle). She was our district superintendent (school district), and it was so hard to talk about Muffy Pickel without laughing....

PARTY!

Hw, Poor Girl. That's as bad as the ole, "Ima Pigg....what a name to get saddled with.

For those who might be interested, Obama to give
the Top 10 List on Letterman tonite.

Take care all

General Westmoreland's daughter is named Muffy.

Quick comment.
I was looking for the debate tonight, Could never find it, only russert forgeting that this is not meet the press.
THe candidates do not need to prepare to debate each other, they need to plan to handle obscure questions and attacks from the ge/nbc group

Thanks Coreen,

I'll be watching.

harbor, when i was in nursing school, i had an anatomy and physiology instructor by the name of peter fuchs, never could say that. called him "sir" all year

Romney DNA on the Rizer with Chris

NEW THREAD

calling civilian employee Chardoan, Hugh Chardoan.....report to the MA shack.......

HW,
I grew up with a girl in a neighboring town whose nameis Fonda Dicks. She was a very good basketball player so had her name mentioned a lot in the press. Her brother's name is Harry. =:0

Never mind, just a look-a-like who works for him.

local pundits give McCain the win....
Not sure anyone could have "won" based on the format and handling.
Remeber - green is green

have a good night

Well I'm awake again. Not a whole lot of passion was there? Makes a man wonder if they even want the job.

I hope Craig is right about the Mittster. Love to see these Missouri country boys try to wrap their brain around a pro gun control, pro choice and "looks like the sumbitch that laid me off" presidential candidate. Their heads might just explode.

Seriously, I ran both Mitt and Rudy past my B-i-law , the NRA gun safety instructor. he pointed out that if it came to the choice of either one there was always the libertarian out there. As he said "I won't vote Democrat but I don't have to vote Republican either"

Jack

whiskyjack- "Well I'm awake again. Not a whole lot of passion was there? Makes a man wonder if they even want the job."

Exactly what I told my husband tonight.
