All these media companies give money to political parties which I think is a shame. Newscorp also gave 100k+ to the Democratic governors I think. The whole things is so weird to me. It's like journalistic integrity is so far gone that no one cares.I am just resigned to making fun of things that might get a rise out of you. Link to post Share on other sites

You CANNOT get elected a second time unless you bend over and do some favors for the people who got you there the first time. The whole system is a mess. In fact, every bad part of the 787 billion stimulus (and it really was not all bad) can be traced to a moneybag who needed some love. Link to post Share on other sites

It captures a view of idealistic Americana –rolling fields of wheat, windmills, a teacher in a classroom, a welder in a factory–before Bush makes a surprise appearance with a verbal gaffe."You fool me, you can't get fooled again," Obama's Oval Office predecessor says in footage used in the ad.It's actually about as good a message as the Dems can use right now.

Balloon guy 158 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 After the Boy Scouts won the ruling that they were within their constitutional rights to not hire gay scout masters, the left began suing to try to make it so the Boy scouts could no longer meet on public land, schools libraries etc.These are the same leftist who defended NAMBLAs right to meet in libraries because they were tax paying citizens.Now these same leftist are arguing that the muslims are fine building a mosque on a site destroyed by the 9-11 hijackers.Wonder why the left is losing in the arena of public opinion?Wonder why the left needs to go back to "bush is bad" as their only campaign?

The mosque is on private property. The church is trying to build on Port Authority land, which is why they are dealing with red tape. You think Obama should reach down and push that church through just so we can have as much religious stuff on ground zero as possible? What is it, the Epcot Center of religions now?

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 I can support this (far too late) action from the Obama Administration... Obama seeks reimprisonment for Lockerbie bomberVINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. – The Obama administration asked Friday that the only person convicted for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 be returned to a Scottish prison.John Brennan, President Barack Obama's counterterrorism adviser, told reporters accompanying the vacationing leader that the U.S. has "expressed our strong conviction" to Libyan officials that Abdel Baset Al-Megrahi should not remain free. The comments came on the first anniversary of Al-Megrahi's release.Brennan criticized what he termed the "unfortunate and inappropriate and wrong decision," and added: "We've expressed our strong conviction that Al-Begrahi should serve out the remainder — the entirety — of his sentence in a Scottish prison."Al-Megrahi was ordered in 2001 to serve 27 years in prison for the bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, but was freed on Aug. 20 of last year on compassionate grounds. He was said to suffer from cancer and had just months to live.The bombing killed 259 people onboard — mostly Americans — and 11 on the ground. Link to post Share on other sites
