In the last decade there have been numerous elections decided by 0.01% of the vote or so, as if voters' choice was nearly random.

Why is that?

We only find enough votes to win; no need to rub it in.

I've been sending some pretty good amounts to the challenger in TX-23, Quico Canseco, and sure enough, he was leading Rodriguez in the last poll.

Hey stace! After seeing that video of Rodriguez, that's good to hear.

Everyone should keep in mind Todd Young to take out Baron 'This is MY townhall' Hill.

That asshole needs to go down in flames.

Wait I did that wrong. It's East Jesus, Indiana.

That should read, 'That sombitch needs to go down in flames'.

That's the one I am going to concentrate on. I was hoping to get rid of Insley but that doesn't seem to be happening yet so I am going the help Koster.

Having a hard time getting fired up about the elections?

How about a little tummy rub from a guy anyone on the left would certainly call the original moron.  And they would mean it.  Idiots.

Remember who said this?

 "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it."

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'

'The most terrifying words in the English language are:

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'

'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the  U.S.  was too strong.

'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.

'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'

'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other'

'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' 

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession.  I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first'

'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:

If it moves, tax it.  If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it'

'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'
'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'

'If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.'

49 In CO - we must get rid of Perlmutter and Markey. We should be able to do it. Problem is, the D's have all the money and the R's in CO haven't figured out how to run clever ads.

Posted by: Lemon Kitten at September 06, 2010 03:06 PM (0fzsA)

Add John Salazar, D -CO# to that list.

Some 527 is running ads tying Markey to her 94% pro-Pelosi voting record. I think it's pretty effective and much more civilized than my own imagined colloquy with my congresswoman for life, Diann Degette.

NR: Congresswoman, when Speaker Pelosi asks you to spread your legs, do you ask 'how wide?', or do you just know from experience?

DD: ?????

Speaking of AFL-CIO members, I ran across a couple wearing the union jackets at Kroger a few days ago and they were both loud-mouthed assholes.

Seems to be something that Commie dickbags have in common.

But if you entered a tape of today's speech from the Traitor-in-Chief into evidence, no jury in the country would fail to convict the shrill, lying, pandering piece of useless shit of any crime the prosecutor wanted.

My Dad was on the AFL-CIO Central Labor Council of Alameda County for many years and used to get the big Dem Presidential candidates to come to the Labor Day Picnic in Pleasanton, CA, to give their stump speeches.  Obama is no friend to the working man -- to certain of the union bosses, maybe, but not to the rank-and-file members.

Quico comes to the tea parties to shake hands and campaign.

Ohhhh, yeh. I do believe he was at the one in Del Rio last summer! We did move away, but we still own our house there, so I keep an eye on the news--and the weather at the moment. Hope you and yours stay safe and dry.

My dad is a member of IAFF Local 67 and they routinely rape their members and use them as pawns. All unions can DIAF, as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by: stuiec at September 06, 2010 03:59 PM (fgCQL)

I wasn't trying to be a dick, BTW. I've seen first hand what a union does and pisses me right the fuck off.

_{Obama gave a Labor Day speech?  Did he not know it is a holiday?}

No Holiday can spare you from the burden that is my Gift.

Nothing will make my day like voting against the Idiot Alan Grayson.

And it just so happens that SIL#1 works as a sales rep for a pudding company. No shit. He started about three weeks ago.

And yes, the containers are just about the right size.

Did I type SiL? Crap, I meant Stepson #1. He's a nice kid although he did vote for The Vapid One© even after I warned him. He lost his job a few months later. I showed restraint and didn't laugh at him.

He's coming around, slowly.

Sweet Jeebus, yes! I detest that arrogant Cork Soaker.  I'm gonna have to send Young some cash this week and get a sign up in the yard at least.

"The idea is to help homeowners who are CURRENT but underwater on their mortgages by writing down the principal, which is a measure that must be taken for schemes like these to have any affect.

Banks that did this would be able to pass on risk to the FHA, which would fund failed loans via $14 billion left over from TARP.

The program was originally announced in March."   link

I guess Barry was whining in his AFL-CIO suck up speech that the GOP "treats me like a dog".

That's odd, I thought it was Barack Obama who called black people Mongrels on the View.

woo hoo.  let's get rid of VA5 Tom Perriello (Pelosi-enabler).  he advertises on this blog!  gross!

at my local townhall, Tommy Commie Perriello said he would vote for Pelosi again to be Speaker.  Don't you think he should have lied?

What are you doing on here?  thought you were in Alaska with Sarah Palin, making a speech, watching her make a speech and then plotting her presidential run, I mean that's what all the lib/dem blogs are saying in the commets.   Really glenn, hope you bought a nice hostess gift since you and your brood are mooching off the Palins.....

The Bildeberger is more sinister.

Plus there is a fixin's bar.

Actually, a Burger Chain called " Bilde-Burgers " could work.

Yeah.  His real name.  Not to be confused with Zombie Daniel Webster.

   I was in the fire department in my home town on Long Island, NY and when I left there I was Captain of the ladder company in the department.I wasn't there just for shits and giggles. Sure it's volunteer on Long Island but it's no rinky-dink shit like in some rural area. So I consider my self a part of the firefighter brotherhood. I never ran into too many firefighters that where liberals. Mosty hard core moron types like on here. I'm sure there are hard core union types in the IAFF. I'm sure most are in it because of the job. It pissed me off when every time I happened to see Barracky on TV when he was campaigning for the job, every town or appearance he made there were a few assholes prominently placed behind him wearing yellow T-shirts with IAFF for Obama on them. It pissed me off because I'd bet my left nut that the regular members didn't feel that way.

I can turn that $500.00 into $50,000 by November!

Fracking Barack H Obama.  The guy has absolutely no shame.  Now he's inventing new ways of lying. 

Demonizing his opponents by attributing things they've never said about him to garner what...

the sympathy vote?

This guy is pathetic.  Literally, figuratively, metaphorically, abjectly and adjectively!

This guy will go down in history as a punchline.

I can turn that $500.00 into a Pair of Mens,  Size-13, Designer Sneakers!

I can suck 1/2 your cock  for that $500.00!

If all goes well for GOP this fall, The Lame Duck sessions coming should be enough to seal the Fate of The Nation. In a Bad Way. 

The Veto pen held by the zero will be out in full force.

And, he will blame the multi-failures on the new GOP majority.

MFM runs this story at full tilt.

In The End....

If you give me your $500.00, I'll buy a whole bunch of Watermelons and open up a Watermelon Stand. 

I'm pretty sure I can double or triple your investment.  Hard to say, "no", to 3000% on your investment dollar in these poor economic times...

Profit to Earning Ratios in the Watermelon Stand Sector are at an all time high according to Dan Rather and Jim Cramer.

  I mentioned it up thread. I had Fox on the TV and the speech came on and I heard it while I was screwing around on the computer. He was yelling and whipping up the crowd like a real demagogue, not the way a president would make a routine Labor Day speech or whatever the occasion would be. He's a fucking maniac and getting pretty scary.
