You had an opportunity to reverse course on the liberal/socialist agenda, but no, you insisted on putting another doddering old in-articulate has-been up against a young, dynamic, well-spoken Democrat. You guys just don't get it. It's not about issues any more, it's about who looks the best and can talk the talk. That's not how it should be, but that's how it is. We now live in a society of the "cult of personality". The GOP and to a lesser extent the MSM decided that McCain would be the Republican nominee.

We intend to let the TV ratings tell what we think of the networks and their annointed candidate. If there was any patriotism left in the network executives the speech no one needs to hear would be followed by the networks telling the American people all they have been hiding.

Barring anything huge in the final week, the electoral votes that are basically already decided look like this: Obama 234, McCain 163, Undecided 141.Obama thus needs to add only 36 EV's. The 11 unclaimed states are:FL 27PA 21OH 20NC 15VA 13IN 11MO 11CO 9NM 5NV 5NH 4If Obama takes only CO and FL (36 total EV), it's over.

I just looked up the movie, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed", on Netflix. It was classified as "Availability unknown", but it also has a rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars, based on opinions of 383 people who viewed the film. Has this been pulled by Netflix? Did someone get an injunction against it or something? How can over 300 people have viewed it and rated it, yet the movie is not currently available? Seems fishy to me. Anyone know what the deal is here? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2011288/posts#comment Mon, 5 May 2008 03:10:53 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2010950/posts I stumbled onto this (don't ask) and found it quite interesting.
