    My post really isn't that prejudiced, I am a moderate who sides slightly more with the Dems because I am tired of the crap the Republicans and Bush are doing.

    The only post that is weak is yours buddy. All you did was call my post weak, which in turn makes yours weak because you don't actually say anything and result to attacking the poster and not the post. And then you try to sound smart by telling us what "lame duck" really means, YET the freaking dictionary pawned you. Then again I dont expect anything more from a stubborn republican. Hell look at Bush.

    You have no idea that the new laws "will screw this country up even more." This country needs change and it needs it quick. Plus I hardly doubt one could do any worse of a job than Bush has.

    Bush barely had a C average in college, while Obama aced through Harvard law. I'll take the guy who can walk and talk without making a fool of himself over the monkey in Bush. Don't even try and make the argument that Bush is smarter than Obama LOL. Half this BBS is smarter than Bush.

    Mirriam-Webster is not "popular culture," they are one of the companies whose books contain the definitions of words. Since you were quibbling over the definition of the term "lame duck," their definition certainly bolsters the argument that you are full of it.

    Again with the Santa impersonation?

    Unfortunately, what happened was that Bush LOWERED the standard so much that anyone even slightly better than a C average coke snorting draft dodger with a history of bankrupting businesses would qualify as "experienced" enough for the job. Bush lowered the bar so much that a turtle could get over it without much effort.

    At least you agree that Bush is the "depths" to which you think people will stoop. Bush is about as low as it gets.

    Not so far, but anything is possible. I believe that Obama will make a very good President if he is able to put into place even half of what he talks about. I certainly have hope that he will actually try to bridge the partisan divide that Bush and his cronies wedged open after campaigning as a "uniter, not a divider."

    The people with buyer's remorse right now certainly appear to be the ones who voted for Bush once (or twice) and are not part of the 28%. You are part of an even more exclusive group, the 23% that approve of Bush's handling of the economy. Even my mother, the biggest Bush bobblehead I could have imagined in 2004, has verbally eviscerated Bush in my presence.

    It just goes to show that, based on the statistics, you are out of touch with the mainstream and WAY out on the fringe.

    No way Obama loses California to McCain. It will be a landslide.

    Does it involve McCain learning the facts about Iraq?

    We were promised something by 0900. It's now past 0700 on the west coast... and this is what we have... more rumor.

    Where are the facts TJ?

    OK, it's now past 0900 on the west coast. Where's my tape of Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan? Oh, here's what the blogs say:

    This is weak, even for you TJ.

    That vid ain't gonna see the light of day until the timing makes sense to the owners of it.

    But to dismiss the threat, just because the video hasn't been released yet? That's funny. And a sign of weakness. Brace yourselves, folks. Brace yourselves.

    So, now it won't come out until the Fall, but we know what's on it because a guy has talked to a guy who has seen it. Sounds a lot like the winger fantasy of WMDs being buried in the Syrian sand. How pathetic is it that your political fortunes have to depend on something like this?

    You promised "explosive" stuff. All I see is a rumor emanating from the brain stem of the right wing.... but I guess that's all that is needed for the anti-Obama email campaign to have something new to write about.

    You promised us something today. Where's it at?

    The right wing? It's coming from Larry Johnson -- a big time Hillary supporter. Do you think NoQuarter is a right wing blog? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's lib central.

    The tape will come out, when it needs to come out. Can't believe you are using the "where is it today" line as a defense. You must not have much else to offer in the way of a rebuttal(?)...

    i've been somewhat unconvinced by this whole thing- although i have no doubt whatsoever that MOB is capable of this type of rant, it seemed unlikely she'd be dumb enough to go off on camera, and even less likely that the obama camp was stupid enough to let it be found, if her remarks had indeed been taped.

    however, some supposed transcripts are now floating around the leftosphere, along with the supposed "why'd he" explanation. without examining the motives of the people posting the clarifying transcripts, if accurate, haven't they just confirmed the existence of the tape?

    There's nothing to defend as there is nothing there. There's nothing to rebut because there's nothing there. Yet you promised something today. You even bumped a thread in anticipation of this "explosive" new info. I'm not the one that's looking desperate... I'm merely asking you where it is. Now, you take refuge in the idea that the tape exists and that it will be released when it can do the most political damage. Well, since it's been a fantasy of the right to have a Dem convention that mirrors the one 40 years ago and Hillary is set to suspend her campaign in the next 24 hours, I would expect it to come out today... as you so often say, it would extend the "hilarity." Yet nothing except rumor. You got caught up in wingnuttia and posted stuff last night that makes you look foolish today. Nothing new, but this is beyond your usual floundering.

    You obviously missed my post last night where I acknowledged Johnson is at least posing as a Hillary supporter... but his audience is pure wingnut.

    While we await for the unnamed brainiacs who have this tape to find the right time to release it :rolleyes: , you can read this about one of your sources for the existence of the tape:
