Where's that chic from Ilacksalot?... Doesn't that border Kentucky?

I guess that's because you can't read.
Perhaps you should try it once in a while and you would be more educated and actually able to add something to a discussion.


Actually, if Obama had taken public financing, he would have gotten a check for $84 million a couple of weeks ago. He said he would and didn't.

If he wasn't so pompous to try a "50 state campaign" he wouldn't have wasted money so he could focus on key states that he HAS to win.

McCain is up in FL and OH and closing on PA and WI. Obama barely got a crowd yesterday in Green Bay.

Because he didn't take public financing he had to fly across the country to charge $30k for dinner in Beverly Hills with BwaBwa Streisand and only enhance his out of touch CELEBRITY image.

I'm glad Obama will lose because 1) I won't have to pay for his programs, 2) my children and their children won't have to pay for his programs, and 3) he and his radical leftist programs won't be the head of the dem party for quite some time.

Gee, what's the carbon footprint on that plane??? So, clearly he isn't listening to Algore on the climate change issue.

4:29 Sounds like Toad-speak to me. (not that I read it.)

How do you top that post?

Chris (3:09/3:10 pm) --

Don't know if you were paying attention 4 yrs ago, but George Bush was ELECTED President in 2004.

You can babble all you want about impeachment now, but 4 yrs ago you had a great opportunity to remove Bush from office, and what did your Party do? They tried to beat him with an empty suit and a philandering trial lawyer.

Now this year, with more than 2/3 of the country saying it's time for a change, once again they're having trouble closing the deal. Wonder who you're gonna blame this time?

hey Reality Check,George W. lost both popular votes,but his brother Jeb,(do nothing),and Susan Harris,made sure he made it into office,its called,"CHEATING",then when she ran they hung her out to dry,so before you run your mouth,why don't you get your facts straight,DUMBBASS,I just love ignorant fools

go ahead Susan rig the election for my brother,we got your back

Susan?

I assume you mean Katherine Harris. I hate it when I am wrong and I call someone else stupid:) She was not around in 2004, and I actually thought Bush won the popular vote in 2004, but I could be wrong.

Regardless, that is way electoral college works - set up that way to level playing field to a degree with smaller states. Take out New York and California, Bush won popular vote by around 2 million voters.
