Ugh.
*sigh* ......I know,I know. :-(
nopardons, my thoughts taking in tonights Convention and election inventory is that I could barely watch the fun given all my good friends over the years who felt the need to call me (and beautifully interrupt) the proceedings tonight to tell me that they are NOW Bushbots.
Two of sisters called me after 11 p.m. CST and were ANGRY that the Breck Girl and Gigolo were wearing lime green bracelets. I had no idea what they were talking about.
But one sister is a 3M Supply Chain VP, the other is a Studio City rainmaker ... and they just wanted to share with me that FINALLY they can love me and be politically aligned.
This is going to be an electoral blowout!
Well,I had my daughter on the phone,my s-i-l on IM,my husband popping in and out of my study (he watched in his study),and my laptop open to FR's live thread.We were all cheering madly! I'll be talking with my friends tomorrow( errrrr later today)and and having a GREAT/HAPPY time. :-)
GREEN BRACLETS? Kerry/Edwards were wearing GREEN BRACLETS? I know that that fraud Kerry has been wearing a yellow one,for cancer,but GREEN?
Sorry, they were YELLOW! I was keeping an eye on "SportsCenter". But sweet buttkicking Susan and Laura were offended about that.
They didn't seem to appreciate the faux gesture for some reason. They thought it was manipulative to the max. Do you understand their offense?
Do dems (the ones that vote) work????
I certainly DO;especially because my s-i-l wears one of those bracelts.Cancer runs rife in my and my husband's family.Kerry is a total FRAUD!
My "baby" sis' didn't dig it one bit.
They both said ... this is People magazine stuff ... "contribute real dollars from some of your millions or go away."
Yeah, a shyster worth $30 million earned throug channeling fetus' in court which he later chose to kill in the Senate, and a Gigolo who is a $billionaire by marrying a better man's widow could actually donate $100 MILLION to the solve Cancer cause if they wished. Wearing the People Magazine stuped bracelts pi$$ed off my sisters, and now I know why.
Well HOOOOOOORAY for both of your sisters! :-)
I'll agree with that. One speech does not a Conservative, make.
Yes, it was a good speech, but odds are Rove had it written for him. Ptaki's history is that of a liberal.
Cheers!!
Rove is not a speechwriter.
I'm appreciating the partnership he has with his boss.
Well, don't I KNOW! LOL
They know what's what. So do all women, and less accurately, the men of America. Kerry is melting like the Wicked Witch of the West ... although her sister's "House Crunching" fate may become a more accurate analysis.
The good people in our blessed Country find a way to prevail. SPECTACULARLY!
Being number one isn't easy! But it's easier than being number 2, 10, 10000!
Kerry REALLY is in trouble.The more people see of him,the less they like him; except for the terminally brain dead,that is. :-)
Neither here no there ... but why would you ever choose an ammunition reference as your screen name?
Dubya might have the power to make sweeping change to the Right if he wins by a large enough margin. A higher margin helps all Republican candidates who are not at the top of the ticket. And Dubya has alot of money. Dubya will have time and money to help Republican Senate candidates. And those Senators will be in debt to Dubya when legislation needs to be passed.
One of the themes of the convention was unity and bi-partisanship. Zell challenged his own party. If Dubya wins big in Nov we can expect a lot more cooperation from 'rats and RINOs who want to be re-elected in 2006.
With more Republican Senators, the power of Spectre, Collins, Snow, and Chafee will diminish. RINOs are only powerful if they can stop legislation.
LOL! The credit for that line goes to Mr. Wimpycat.
yes!
After all, since "those people" are of an inferior race, he can't view them as equals worthy of attention or worthy enough to ask for their vote, can he?
Bush speaks Spanish. His sister-in-law is of Mexican decent. People of a primarily hispanic descent are now the biggest minority in the country. The advantage gained addressing those voters in Spanish in reference to not leaving even their children behind should be something that somebody with even half a brain should be able to see and approve of. I think this discussion proves that point.
