Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Woo Hoo,
Make it a Great Day

Craig A+ again...
Change - What Change?
Dems need a cleaning like the Republicans got hit in the prior mid term.

And to comment on yesterdays post related to the CIA. Brilliant move by Baracks handlers - you are getting your butt kicked on Healthcare, your numbers are down - you will not come with the truth .
So lets invoke Bush Co again.. Afterall that is why you got elected.

Oh My..
Change the thread.
Ted... Love him or not..
God Bless

Ted Kennedy was the one who carried us through after the losses of his brothers, MLK and an era of upheaval that could have torn this nation apart. What ever his flaws, this was the passing of a great man.

“For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.”

may those words of ted kennedy inspire the establishment of a living memorial in the form of meaningful, life-giving healthcare for all americans.

RIP, Ted Kennedy.

Statement of Senator John Kerry: We have known for some time that this day was coming but nothing makes it easier.We have lost a great light

Maybe they aren't hypocrits, maybe they're just afraid; maybe Charlie has some info. Nah, it's is his smile.

God rest and God bless America's Uncle Teddy. (Time to ATM: MoJo & the rest of the media can surely wait a few days before doing a commentary on the family history; when they started in on it this morning, I turned it off.)

Clicked on MSNBC and Bob Kerry was talking about Mr Kennedy. He recounted a marvelous series of anecdotes about the senator.

My impression of the senator was indelibly formed during his 'bad' years. That's unfortunate because he obviously turned the corner.

Good morning...

Already I'm hearing the right saying watch the liberals rammed through heath care reform now that Kennedy's dead.

"They will use his death to push national health care on America."

I say do it. Screw the Republicans and there hate and fear mongering racist, bigoted base.

Back to work now.

1. Craig, with regards to your topic, I'm sure the leadership is letting the evidence mount so that when they do come to force him out, no one can make any sort of "he's getting shafted because he's black". I believe they tried that with Rep. Jefferson in Louisiana.

2. I've kept a TV on Fox and Friends for a half hour now and I have to see any mention of Kennedy's death by the anchors. Only mention on the bottom crawl. Does this mean that if we watch that network only, he will continue to live?

The discussion of Senate chairmanship dominoes is already taking place. Please let the last sentence happen

Blue,

I'll be curious to follow Joscar over the next couple of days because his two political heroes are RFK and Reagan. I still remember him speaking at an event commemorating RFK a few years ago. The event was on CSpan and it was easy to see his love for the Kennedy family...

Bear

FOX broadcasts to the people who cheered when the other two brothers were assassinated.

This is a sterling example of what class is...

http://www.necn.com/Boston/Politics/2009/08/26/Jimmy-Carter-reacts-to-death/1251284984.html

a lot of celebraties accomplish more in death than in life. teddy may become the exception to this only because he accomplished so much in his lifetime with regard to legislation that helped so many of the helpless.
"They will use his death to push national health care on America."
ap, god willing, inshallah and they better damn well or he'll come back to haunt them.

Sarah Palin had the good grace to post a kind statement about Ted Kennedy. Her followers not so much ... ugly

Jamie, where do you come up with this stuff?

CBS doing prime-time special on Ted Kennedy at 8pm called "The Last Brother"

bear, thank you for that carter link. yes, gracious, compassionate and with class.

I am very saddened by the passing of Senator Kennedy.... we truly have lost a lion in the Senate.

Bear... thanks for that link to Carter. He's always been a class act, IMO. His presidency showed why it's impossible for an honest and thoughtful person to effectively lead this country..... unfortunately, it's the bastards that get things done.

Max

Personal opinion based on things such as the commentors to Palin's message, the town halls, the fact that FOX didn't mention death until Major Garrett piece about five minutes ago and then immediately went to Town Halls and bad mouthing health care. Then there is a long, long memory and what happened after the assassinations of Jack and Bobby.

It doesn't apply to all Republicans or even all conservatives, but there is a very ugly element in American politics that are racist and violent. FOX regularly eggs them on as can be seen by the Town Halls.

I always think of Bob Marley's Redemption Song when I think of Ted Kennedy

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+marley/redemption+song_20021829.html

What Ted Kennedy said about his brother Robert now applies to Ted, "There is no need to enlarge him in death than he was in life."

He had his personal flaws and demons. He rose above them to become a great man. It doesn't change history, just proves redemption and grace are possible.

No, Sea, I was just a plain ordinary intelligence toad.

oh yeah....
Charlie Rangel.... he's a crook and should be treated as such....

and the water shortage.... in 2000 Rick and I went to Arizona to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I wanted to take a hot air balloon ride over the desert... which we did in Sedona and was worth every penny.

We also went to Page and took several boat tours on Lake Powell. The most spectacular one was to go see the Rainbow Bridge Monument. It's down a very narrow canyon and we pulled right up to it in the boat. From reading about a new book written about the Glen Canyon Dam the other day, I've learnt that in order to see this spectacular sight now.... one must hike a mile from where the boat stops. The water level in the lake has dropped over 100 ft. Knowing how many people depend on that water.... that's a scary thing.

Carter has been a class act? Okay......

Hi all,
Very sad about Sen. Kennedy! It kinda makes me think of my own family,who are mostly gone.I do hope the Democrats push on now and get healthcare done for the people.It would be a great way to honor Sen. Kennedy.

With dams in this country near the breaking point along with our bridges, it is incredible the Recovery Act didn't deem them worthy of repair. Talk about not targeting the important stuff. I guess we'll wait for a Russian-like outcome.

Carter said the elections were fair in Iran. He said genocide didn't happen in the Sudan. I won't even start on the Israeli situation. He saves his wrath for others rather than taking aim at Kimmie, Chavez etc. His agenda seems pretty clear. So much for his world tours Tony.

I've been channel surfing so may have missed some statements. What surprises me is that Joe can oppose widespread health care when he has a son with Aspergers. With the number of autistic children in this nations what's with denying to others children what you are lucky enough to have.

Big surprise has been Major Garrett on FOX. He has been professional and respectful. It took FOX hours to start coverage and the other anchors are still dealing a load of snarky, but Garrett has been exellent.

"What surprises me is that Joe can oppose widespread health care when he has a son with Aspergers. With the number of autistic children in this nations what's with denying to others children what you are lucky enough to have." Jamie

Hypocrisy the core value of the gooper!

I actually agree with a point made my Joe S - people bringing guns to town halls are making the jobs of police and Secret Service more difficult. Furthermore, they cost additional taxpayer funds - send them the bill.

I think the article was pretty clear, don't you? Help for public bridges and dams are pretty lacking as well, but private ones are in need too.

a-p:

"While I may be considered a paranoid nut job my gut tells me not to trust anything Warren says. I can't put my finger on what it is about him that makes me feel this way, except that it does."

Ha! It is because i am a lawyer, thus you should feel that way. It is also because we disagree on certain issues.

I think that a bi-partisan commission that:

1. Collected all the information
2. Discredited and deplored the use of torture
3. Placed the blame right where it belongs (i.e., Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.)

Would be better than piecemeal trials and a political sideshow.

And yes - I think the truth commission should have granted immunity to everyone that cooperated.

You point to Nuremburg trials - to argue that war crimes require prosecutions no matter and politics can't be involved...

But I ask you this: Do you think any war crimes were committed by the Allied Powers during WWII? Were there any trials?

If you tweet, the NY Times is asking for response:

Hell, Nasa can't find much money either. How much of GDP do we spend? Ironic as Obama uses the JFK going to the moon speech to pump healthcare reform.

http://www.buzzflash.com/store/items/1806

Jamie, I've come to expect more from you than this. Just because Frontline does not quote one particular person that becomes proof that PBS has censored him because of corporate sponsors?

Fact is: Frontlilne HAS no corporate sponsors and while they are often accused of having a liberal bias, there is not a shred of evidence that they have pulled their punches over many, many years of reporting.

I'm inclined toward Claire McCaskill. Any other nominations.
Jamie

I curious as to why you think that.

CJ

Of late because PBS depends so on Corporate sponsorship there has been a tendency to pull punches on issues where they would have previously been on the forefront. It may have been a reflection of the eight years or Republican influence and potential loss of government money as well. Add in the economic downturn cutting into subscribers, and the combination has really hurt financially.

Frontline may have been a poor example but there has been a "play it safe" mentality at work.

Oh and CJ. I don't agree with everything I link. Lots of voices fuels a good conversation about issues.

KGC

First the closeness to the President. Second, I've watched her handle her town halls in the face of a whole lot of noise and nonsense. She has done it with grace and humor despite being opposed to everything those people are doing. Third, it's time for a lioness instead of a lion to lead the pride and she is one of the few the Senate has. Fourth, she is from the "flyover" portion of the country. We need to get away from the coast states and involve the whole of the nation in the issues.

Could go on, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Third, it's time for a lioness instead of a lion to lead the pride and she is one of the few the Senate has. Jamie

Yes I do believe that War Crimes were committed by American Soldiers, however as usual we never prosecute our own now do we?

And if we do they get slaps on the wrist and are not held up to the same standards we used on the Nazi Prosecutions.

I still remember the Nicaraguan Death Squads we trained that killed Nuns and Children. No different than Blackwater now known as Ze. And yes I'm disappointed that Obama hasn't removed them from Government Contracts or pursued them for their War Crimes.

And so we allow it to expand and grow as it destroys what our nation was built on.

And no its not because your a lawyer, so is pogo and I find him more honest and trustworthy than you.

Faux News continues to amaze...very little mention of Ted.

BW

I just clicked on them. Except for Major Garrett's reports, there is almost nothing. You don't have to agree with someone to show a decent amount respect. Except for the ribbon at bottom of page and Garrett it has been non stop snark and slant. They really are disgusting.

Jamie,

Please see:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundamerica/etc/response.html

And neither of us can conclusively prove our points of view, I am aware of no evidence of PBS pulling its punches out of dependency on corporate funding. In fact, corporate funding of PBS is way down compared to ten years ago, both in dollars and as a proportion of its funding.

Max, your twisting is incredible.

Carter referred to the situation in Darfur as "atrocities" and a "horrible situation" that he said did not meet the legal definition of genocide, and that calling what was occurring there genocide was legally inaccurate and not helpful to a process to try and improve things there. The RW blogs and sites jumped with both feet, and like you, implied (some simply stated it) that Carter did not think the situation in Sudan was serious. RW bullshit at its finest.

http://www.turkishweekly.net/news/49293/carter-there-is-no-genocide-in-darfur-.html

And here's what Carter said about the Iranian election, "Former President Jimmy Carter said he expects no major change in Iran's policies.
"I think this election has bought out a lot of opposition to his policies in Iran, and I'm sure he'll listen to those opinions and hopefully moderate his position," said Carter after meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in the West Bank city of Ramallah."

And that was from RW shill site Newsmax.com.

Craig:

Thanks for this thread:( this is one we should stay on topic) It shows how even handed you are once again; and would like more threads that shows the hypocrisy of both partys'.....Charlie R. it seems is no different than any other politician, that has been in congress, or in the senate for far too long.....we keep electing them back in, time after time.

This is directly our fault in the long run. What would we have to loose by electing a new congress man, or women after they have served.....3 terms? Just their experience: The experience of knowing how to line thier own pockets, and that of their corp, friends that give them the $ to get re-elected, I don't think that a rookie would be so bad......so Charlie Rangel is the fault of the straight line party voter...time to get a third party in there........Teach, I have to disagree when you say that you don't trust R. Paul....by saying this, I think that you meant on some issue; we should not trust any of them imo............

Max.,

You are complaining about $ spent here in the states? and want to use more for infrastructure....I agree; how about we stop giving 3 bil plus to the Neocon Israili's ? and bring all of our soldiers home for one year. leave a skeleton force where they could watch.....

XR,

Im no military expert, far from it; very far: But a few months back, I said that if we pushed the Taliban from the western boarders of Afghanistan, into the eastern ones of Pakistan,,that it would be a very large mistake......guess what....we need to get out of there completely, and stop giving Karzi our tax $. he and his pals are getting very rich, while we stave millions of innocents; and turn them into haters of Americans.....just sayin.

He like all of us just has a different way of arriving to some conclusion. He is an atty, and will come up with a lot of weird stuff.....that is to be expected....oops there I said it again....gonna get me in trouble...but it was just a little haha I love atty it tell ya...can't live with em...and can't live without em.....

Hey, AP, you can be the judge, but I never have found warren to be dishonest or untrustworthy. I may agree with you on a afew more things than warren, but as you'll recall, we've had pretty significant disagreements over your views of things in the past (whether the '08 election would occur comes to mind) and I expect we will continue to. Maybe I'm just a hair less skeptical than you are.

Warren, don't worry about what AP says to you. He doesn't seem to be able to post without calling somebody a Nazi.

"so is pogo and I find him more honest and trustworthy than you. "

Good God, AP -- why are you swiping at Warren like this. I disagree with him on several things...starting with how health care should be approached. But he is certainly honest and trustworthy in his discussions. Take a pill and calm down.

No worries. I did not take it too personally. And decided it was best to hold back fire...

"The governor of Florida said he placed prayer notes in the Western Wall asking God to prevent hurricanes from hitting his state. In a talk to a group of real estate agents last Friday, Gov. Charlie Crist (R) noted that he inserted a note with the prayer during a trade mission to Israel in 2007 and that no major hurricanes had struck the state since."

The prayer, according to The Associated Press, was, "Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie."

Crist said after his speech, according to the AP, that he wasn't taking credit for the lack of hurricanes. "I give that to God," he said. "But it's nice."

You know, Craig, the same type of Democratic power-mongering is why Ted Kennedy was still a senator until the day he died. We've known Rangel was a crook for years, but Democrats are so worried about losing any representation in Congress, they keep him around. The funniest thing is what little they do with the power they monger.

Terror groups are right here-here in the states.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina man named as the ringleader of an aspiring terrorism group sold most of the weapons he purchased and wanted to make sure his children were familiar with guns, one of the sons told federal agents in a report released Tuesday.

Dylan Boyd, in explaining why his family had so many weapons, told the FBI when he was arrested last month that Muslim practice says men should be strong and able to shoot guns in case they are attacked. He estimated that the family had about 10 weapons, including two that father Daniel Patrick Boyd had agreed to sell that day.

The more I read about that, Solar, the less it seems there is a case. So what he had guns and trained to use them? That's just responsible gun-ownership.

...10 guns isn't THAT many guns, either. The article I read stated that Boyd and Co. didn't even have any plans to conduct any "terror" operations. I think his real crime is being a white-Muslim in America with guns.

No problem swinging by to pick you up for lunch---
but where is Chloe--need to check with her for
seating arrangements.

And I'm sure there is room for Ivy as well.

But you know--no drive thrus---maybe 'italian' today.

I know where we can get some home-made cavatelli with marinara sauce

Champ,
After reading the story, and not just scanning it, I have to agree with you. The real story should be about how our attitude towards the Muslims: We are only creating others to sympathize with them and become Muslims themselves; thanks for pointing that out.

Dark Lord,

Your comment of 11:56 was both inane and tasteless. As my mother would say, 'where's your upbringing?'

Sounds great: I flipped a coin and lost, I have a coin with two heads on it, and still called tales, Duh,,so Im buying...if we have to wait for Chloe a long time, she is going to chip in, maybe leave a little tip this time...and not just give the waiter a tip on the market; like she did last time........embarrassing it was.......
