and you are going to start naming the Muslim’s 40-something lobbyists at his beck and call? Then you can name ObamaRamaDingdong’s terrorist affiliations….and that could take awhile….

What a good little sheeple you are Tuttle. Blinded by the lies. What are you 80 and senile? A perfect little repukican.

One wonders if Trudeau is looking to move ANOTHER of his news characters to the unemployment line….

A devoted democrat calling a rampant republican “sheepie”? That’s one of the the best examples of “the pot calling the kettle black”. Anyone who thinks that their side of the party-with-two-heads is any better/more-honest/more-on-their-side than the other is definably a sheep and pays no attention to the complete history of the last 50 years. Whether you’re a devout republicrat or democan, you’re part of the problem and not the solution. Keep voting for the same government that’s been in power for the last 50 years and that’s what you’ll get … keep letting your fear of “them” keep you voting for “us” and both “them”s stay in power … which is all they really want.

So, what are you suggesting, Lala? Overthrowing the government? Anarchy? Oh, how about communism? That works REALLY well!
Let’s not forget third parties. It would be nice if the media and the presidential commission gave equal time to legitimate third parties so our choices were not reduced to the two parties LaLa acutely describes. Of course, it would also be nice if the candidates the third parties put forth weren’t egomaniacal nut jobs. Ay, the rub.

Remember the “6 degrees of separation” principle, guys and gals. If someone really wanted to, anyone can be “linked” to almost anyone else, from Mr. Bin-Laden to the Queen of England. So take all the linkage prounouncements with a pillar of salt. “Ain’t none of us is perfect.”

If anyone thinks McCain or Obama is going to save “Our” Country’s economy; they are deluding themselves.The only real power in government are the ones with the money ie the lobbyists, and the Liars and thieves taking the money ie senators and congressmen (republican and democrats).

Roger, but not THAT one, the other one: Branding. I decided to brand myself, and with the help of God, I have now, on the internet, sneered at: V. Putin, Russia, Americans, Congress, China, Cuba, and a large number of others. Now they will not bother to pay me vast amounts of money to advise them, as an off line independent prognosticator, unless they really admit they need to do so. :-D Ooh, I am *so* smart. Mark has more courage than I have shown, however. I would be willing to help those I laugh at to figure the way out of the messes they are in, so I am requiring respect and not antagonism. On the other hand, Rick must realize that he is providing an opportunity for real retorts. (Not like the incipid blah-blah of some of todays Comments.) He is handing us a nice little packet of names for future reference, yes? (Big grin that will not go away for a long time.)

Roger, but not THAT one, the other one: And how could I forget that I have snarled in high gear at that fake Sarah Palin? Perhaps it was to post her name by itself, to give her the special attention that the overly manipulative so strongly desire. The best book I have come across which explained to me how she has seemed to get as far as she has seemed to get, and written by researcher Dr. Robert Hare: Snakes In Suits: When Psychopaths Go To Work Every chapter seems to be about Sarah Palin. And the book shows us how to protect ourselves from the Putins and Palins we may meet. (Frown that looks like a growl: Not LOL right now!)

Ahh. Posted that, and the grin is back. :-)

Nope, they do not even control their own breath. You need to look elsewhere. Money is only power if it does not bind the person who has it, otherwise they are a slave, just a slave. A nice short book is The Witch That Switched, an autobiography.
