I want to continue with my point. Green in South Carolina is an example of what I mean when I say they are working every day in every way. I want to add to that, that they are working at every level. They have financing because their benefactors are a wealthy elite, so they find ways to get $10,000 to an unknown democratic candidate, then find ways to get republicans to vote in a democratic primary for this candidate, who wins even though he did no campaigning! They do not care about democracy, and are therefore unamerican!

287 jackmojack, you are so right, FEMA under Bush is a perfect example. The Republicans didn't reduce government, they reduced effective government that was responsive to the needs of the electorate, because they answer not to the electorate, but to a wealthy elite. And they are working every day in every way for that elite, and we have to keep staying united to fight them for the good of the country.

Oh, BTW,

After my criticizing of Thom Hartmann, I'm heading over to his show!

#445 - I'd prefer if we were called Chicago gangsters again. Thugs don't get to wear pinstripes and fedoras, and carry tommy gun accessories.

So long eveybody! Time to hit the road.

Bye eMooks.

Anyone else want to move-on to another issue tomorrow? I sure do.

I'm not from Chicago proper, but I'm from the 'burbs. Obama was NOT a machine politician (thug). He's a Hyde Park Democrat.

have a good day everyone!

bye all

How to people in Chicago feel about this "Chicago thug" Right Wing talking point?

Okay, everybody sniff butts and make up. We've got a president to train here.

It is a PURE LIE to say that Obama waited 50 days. PURE LIE.

#437: Here there are two right wing stations IN the big city.

390: "Blue Coal was anthracite"

easy theme song choice for a deadly mining sitcom.
"everybody here likes anthracite;
they dont bark and they dont bite..."

Bill Crystal illuminated what the strategy was for the months before Obama took office

Oh and Obama can only pray in church?!

I wonder if Gretchen Carlson went to church yesterday.

leave your city- 30 min out all you'll get is RIGHT WING on AM radio

Wow. Has Right Wing World ever started this late before?

Avogadro’s phone number is pre area code days

which church is the best for oil spills?

Church? THAT'S your answer? Praying?

thats a closet gay speaking
just sayin

Is this caller wrong? I think big corporation give the finger to the government all the time.

419~and I have an old lady crush on him~he was the first one I heard defend the president the last time a big hate fest started. I had started to wonder if I was wrong in being fairly pleased with him.

373: "Chris and Jim haven’t threatened to go with the Socialist Party."

they dont even have anything they could wear to that.

421
SKEET SURFIN!!!

Rand Paul: Don't Cut my Government Money

412. He's too smart for that scenario.

If Eugene Robinson is right

"okay guys, no more calling ourselves 'teabaggers'. glad we found out about all that. now let's adjourn and go skeet-shooting."

>> kthc says:
>> I wish Hal was here today, he’d balance the argument

Hal is so great at that.

I obviously have a man-crush on him! ;-) It doubt it will ever make me like heavy metal music, though.

#416 - After all, Palin can't speak Jive.

#413, 408 - How many road of anthracite must a man walk down, before he is called a man?

363: break-dancing acronyms ? that's a bit creepy. - but at least literate, so better than palin.

Oh, I see why you are congratulating me! Smarta! I got it with dumb luck. (like most good things in my life!)

Kids "Attacked" by Rep. Etheridge were Breitbart Plants

360: ".....ever stopped blaming Carter?"

bob dylan always knew the man was innocent.

#407 - I would argue more that the people he's selected as his advisors have isolated him from his progressive base, and he doesn't know it.

Steph, if you know anything about negotiations, you should know that you don't start from the compromise point, which should have been public option.

343: "....But it was called “Blue Coal” as a marketing gimmick. Right? That was always my impression...."

actually, mclovester, it's your impression itself that makes the best marketing gimmick for colloidal hydrocarbons. - we love that new take you did on the "snow angel". - "hey, kids, pile in !! - we can go down to the beach and make scum angels !!"

Fugitive hid 40 years in plain sight

HELENA, Mont. — The aging Frank Dryman, a notorious killer from Montana's past, had hidden in plain sight for so long that he forgot he was a wanted man.

#390: "#385: Blue Coal was anthracite."

Says Phoebe Snow about to go
Upon a trip to Buffalo,
“My gown stays white from morn till night
Upon the Road of Anthracite.”

With dimpling face all full of grace
Fair Phoebe pictures in a daze
That journey bright when clad in white.
She used the Road of Anthracite.

Steph, Obama has dissed and pushed aside his progressive base. Period.
