Today is the day. Today is the day I went over the edge. I am implementing escape plans. I see no way out of this mess with the people we have running the show. I hope for 6 more months of time to put the plan in to motion.

We’ll see if he still has two years...I predict that the Democrats will remove him on eligibility grounds.

Is it just me, or does that strike anyone else as an incredibly puerile response?

We were debating Obama’s intelligence on another thread. Better go report that we have confirmation he can count to 4.

He sees the writing, but with different reasons. I believe his thinks he has not been liberal enough.

We’re all gonna need one.

There may well be a Great Turning, if God wills, though, but we’re going to have to defend ourselves.

I’m thinking if the R’s push real hard, he’ll crack. No one has came against him yet to really test the strength of his ‘mentality’.
