It’s a dang big ocean, I find fewer ships ludicrous. If it takes days/weeks to get in place what good are they if they aren’t where they need to be?
The Israel lines were fantastic, good for him.
I think it was a calculated move, going back to 1917, because we won that WW BY USING SUBMARINES! You know, the ships that go under the water? He should have been slapped for that condescension. Also, how can we be a force in the Pacific without enough ships. And does ozero realize that aircraft carriers ARE ships? And that Marines still use bayonets?
I laugh at their highfaluting debate point tallies. What counts is did the argument they presented win American votes. That is the poll that counts. Demeanor counts in that poll. I think Romney won all 3 debates with that in mind. He WON votes. The polls had to swing to show that or the pollsters would look like Dem fakes when Romney wins. Obama has been losing votes with each debate. This final two weeks will continue to show Romney pulling away. No one will show a landslide, but I think the Nov6th poll will.
Yep I'm still smiling over those lines.....Romney "Scudded" Obozo with those comments.....I'm still laughing too.....right now, really!
It’s easier if you start with the premise that Obama wants to reduce America’s influence in the world and will say anything as long as he can get it done.
Yes, they ALL seemed to say the economy trumped all else. With that in mind, Romney wins on that topic by over 60%. Sounds like landslide #s to me.
Yes, that whole “normalcy” appearance that has worked so well for them so far. /s
Interestingly, the paralegal went to the Walmart in Fairfax last night to buy Obama 2016. she said she got the last copy.
Yes. Bamster is writing off Va. That was clear from his goofy comment last night. Now it is all up to Ohio, or Wisconsin, or Penn, or Iowa & New Hampshire, I'm assuming CO is in the bag and NV is not which puts us 8 EV's away. Although I like Sunnunu's target of 305 EV's.
Duncan? ;-)
You guys having Indian summer this week? It might hit 80 on Thursday.
yeah, i don’t like it. i want fall.
We’ve been having fall, so this is nice. I went to work today without a jacket. Thursday is the big football game to end the season. It will be almost surreal to not be in a winter coat under a blanket.
I forgot to look last night. I only watched it on the computer screen and it kept cutting off before the end.
We had a high of 66 and sunny yesterday. The whole neighborhood was out for my noontime walk. Today is depressing and rainy, but still as warm as yesterday.
It’s 14 days till we throw the bum out!
Romney had a plan at the debates and I think he was the clear winner. Obama’s broken record of dismal failure or a fresh new start with a successful businessman. We are looking good. If momentum continues we will win.
Obama regime has been brought to you by the letter O and the number 16trillion. He will not be renewed for a second term.
tagline test
Or as we say when calling in scrips - no refills!
BTW, I like your pirate word. It was in the 80s here yesterday and headed there again today. I am loving it.
