Obama and Biden have made a dozen trips to Virginia, McCain-Palin just one. While the Republicans are holding their breath, Virginia is turning blue:

Suffolk University just released a new poll giving Obama a 12-point lead in Virginia, 51-39.

Yes, you continue to hate and blame poor people, especially minorities, for everything. As I have suggested before, there’s other views on this, especially when it comes to the roots of the crisis.

Hey Scott, enjoyed the break from reality. Some of Cynthia McKinney’s naive, out-of-touch points:

*“elimination of all ARM mortgages and their renegotiation into 30- or 40-year loans;
*establishment of new mortgage lending practices to end predatory and discriminatory practices;
*establishment of criteria and construction goals for affordable housing;
*redefinition of credit and regulation of the credit industry so that discriminatory practices are completely eliminated;
*full funding for initiatives that eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in home ownership;

Apparently she does not understand the cause of the current financial mess. The mess was created by US Congress in the 90’s attempting to enact her points. The reason for marginal mortgages was to accomplish her goals for “a house in every pot”. Duh!

Given the government guarantees behind every marginal mortgage to the credit-unworthy, the mortgage companies went wild to make money off these people. Why not, since everybody is guaranteed a wining outcome i.e. the poor and the mortgage companies?

Now Cynthia wants to do it all over again! I guess stupid is as stupid does.

Where’s Kenny Rogers When You Need Him?
by Cynthia McKinney

The Republican Fisherman

A fisherman was out in his new twin Merc powerboat when he spied a little canoe.

The fisherman opened the throttle in order to impress the canoeist but in his haste came too close and swamped the canoe with his bow wave.

The dripping wet canoeist spurted, “You darn dang Republican !“.

The fisherman replied haughtily, “Durn Democrat!“ and turned the boat around to come back again and buzz the canoeist just for good measure.

Meanwhile, the real Republican was floating aloft in his hot air balloon enjoying the scenery below, unaware of the little fracas. His financial gains have combined with tax cuts to give him enormous leisure time and no cares or worries.

He pauses to relieve himself over the edge of the balloon basket as he looks over at the fluffy clouds in the clear blue sky.

The boaters below look up and see their future coming at them.

Scott -

Honestly now - I mean, really, please, be honest with yourself and the world around you.  Do you TRULY believe that woman is really and actually the best candidate to be president of the most powerful country this planet has ever known?  I mean, really - even when compared to the two lousy mainstream party candidates - do you genuinely, in your heart of hearts, believe that Cynthia McKinney is in any way prepared or even fit to be the President of the U.S.?

The woman is certifiably moonbatty.  If she were a degree or two better than she is now, I might credit her with being merely a loose cannon.

I am not a Democrat, I am a Green. And I am not lost. And I don’t rely on sad, old jokes like Republicans.

LESSONS FOR BOB, SCOTT, GR AND BISCUIT:

The Republican Fisherman

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 4909 minutes west longitude.”

She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”

“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”

“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”

Hey Roy! We are NOT the public. How many of the masses participate in any blog, let alone listen to NPR? The general public has little interest in public affairs.

Hey GR: “He does not understand what it takes to survive in this world on one’s own, without benefit of who his Daddy and G’Daddy were, without benefit of a rich wife and all his friends in high places” Why do you hate the well-off?

Should John McCain be tortured for living an affluent lifestyle? NObama “does not understand what it takes to survive in this world on one’s own” anymore than McCain. At least McCain has known five years of deprivation unlike anything Obama has come close to.

Roy,

This survey was just 18-34 youth segment but it at least gives a general impression of what Bart and company are up against these days.

NASCAR (yikes)
Lipstick Jungle (yikes)

Not that, to quote Seinfeld, there is anything wrong with NASCAR or Lipstick Jungle. In fact, we should combine them. Strip Stock Car. Reapply makeup at every pit stop. Ok, that was a really BAD idea, wasn’t it ?

Speaking of stock, you have to keep your sense of humor cause you sure aren’t makin’ any money on the stock market.

Biscuit said, “(Larry is right. The public does not listen to NPR, nor do they read Barticles)“.
Are we not “the public”?  If you prick us, do we not bleed?
