Here's how to pick a candidate.
Start from last year, about July, do some research - check out what they say and what they believe.
Fast forward to the day you look and see how much they have changed their tune!
I saw a report where BO is starting to conjure up God, Country and Apple Pie during his recent speeches. :eek:
Did anyone catch the Saturday Night Live skit about BO? I saw part of it and they got the "UM' and stuttering down pat. Just today a news talking head made light of his "UM" too.
My other peeve is about his handlers-they jump into the fray as BO's mouthpiece- They issue HIS statements. You know, He does remind me of Jerry Mahoney. :)
------------------
HC is a little more subdued now. She don't screech as much and just cruises along....I kinda liked the animated HC, she was just more human?
------------
Now, we get to JM......ah, can you say boring.....well, Monochrome, at the very least... :p
I guess now I am a bitter, typical white male.
I wonder if that will become a box to check off on my income tax forms???? :rolleyes:
---------------
You know, now that I think about it, that does sound a little insulting.
Religion, guns and unemployment- Typical white middle America. :rolleyes:
Did you hear McCain's speech on MLK Day? Seems now (that he is running for president) he realizes his vote against creating a national holiday in honor of Dr. King was a mistake. And is very sorry about his vote!
Do you think if he was standing in front of the Typical White Guys forum he would have mentioned that?
Yeah, right.....
BTWP wouldn't have heckled him,......As it is, he had he bits to admit it.Quote:

BTW, I saw Hillary bowling on the Ellen D show.....she used Ellen's balls. :confused:
As long as style and no substance is still the topic...
What's with Hillary and "clap, clap, point....clap, clap point..."
And McCain's patronizing ...."My friend" so annoying.
And isn't it fun acting like we are back in high school again! Gosh...what were they wearing????
He had no choice. He worked against MLK Day...it is a matter of public record. A bit hard to not admit it.Quote:
As it is, he had he bits to admit it.
I cannot always understand RICHARD speak but are you suggesting that Typical White People never heckle??? I have been shocked lately by your racist comments. Really sad.
I graduated from the Reverend Wright School of NASCAR (racism). :rolleyes:Quote:

You know, Isn't that part of opening up the dialogue? I didn't start the idea of Bitter, Typical White Folks.... Take it up with the jerk that did.
Let me toss out this little nugget for you- I took a position working for a surgery department. I went into the cafeteria and was told by the nurses of that area that, "The doctors were used to working with women."
Why? Because these little effers could yell and scream at women, make them cry and embarrass them. One midget AH made it his personal mission to get me fired. He walked into the office one day, stood over my desk and began to yell. When I stood up next to his 5 foot 5 frame and asked him what he wanted me to do with his schedule, he almost threw a valve.
The nurses also stopped doing translations for the patients because I knew spanish and couldn't be bothered to help the people who had just landed in the country.
I don't play no effing race card/equal right BS. The people that worry about race are the people who aren't comfortable in the bodies that god gave them.
For the oppressed people that feel that out country is so racist that we can't move forward, I have two words for them
Aunt Artica. She has a place in her everloving bosom for everyone that isn't happy here.
--------------------
On a lighter note....
I did play the Barack Obama drinking game tonight-Take a drink for every Um and Ahh.
When one of the peanut gallery guests asked a question I counted how many Ums and Ahhs he'd toss out and I counted about 22 in the space of 4 minutes.
Um.......Ahhh......Ummmmm, that would be about a beer and a half in 240 seconds.
I didn't have any beer in the house so I drank tea. I like my liver. :p
Sorry RICHARD....can't understand you when you write in your own special language.
Try declarative sentences. Try taking responsiblity for your own actions instead of hiding behind the "everybody else is doing it!"

She then said that I shouldn't bring race into it!
I said that I mentioned nothing about race, It was about communication.
IT's funny how people, or the system, immediately begin with the name calling or make the jump to racism when they have to defend an error on their part.
The Sys Admin had a degree and was a computer whiz, but she had no experience what the job required-She worked in a book bindery-the only appendix she had seen was at the back of a text book.
(that was a joke-book appendix versus human appendix-get it?)
So, my problem was getting e-mails or verbal instructions and questioning anything she told me was racist.
Now, If I poke fun or make light of a presidential candidate who says something that I have a problem understanding - that automatically makes me a racist?
I do take responsibility in what I say, unlike some bobo that want to be my leader.
---------------
Hey, HC having a beer and a shot make her my kind of gal!
I think a beer bong and some "Candidate Gone Wild" action would win her my vote-After all who wants to see BO or JM topless?
Does that make me a misogynist? :confused:
Obama is spending a small fortune on tv ads here in Indiana. I swear,
if I hear his voice one more time, I'll puke. Enough already. :mad: :rolleyes:
Speaking of politics:
Somebody please tell Jimmy Carter he is no longer president. :p
What on earth he thinks he is doing going to talk to Hamas is beyond me. It's not like he can promise them anything - he has no power any more. Well, maybe he can build them a house or something. He and Nancy P are so headstrong. State department asks them not to do something, so they do it.
I hope if he gets captured or killed or something he remembers he wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. :rolleyes:
By the way, I wonder if Hillary would be able to get up at 3 to answer the phone after a few of the boiler makers she was chugging down on the news today. :D
LOL! :D I watched the Compassion Debate, or whatever it was called, last night. Hillary seemed to be trying too hard to say the right things. Obama, of course, has the "silver tongue" and comes across much more relaxed. I wasn't impressed with either of their answers really. I wish McCain had also been involved. It would be interesting to see what he had to say. I am having a hard time really rallying around any of these three. I really wish Ron Paul was in the race. :(Quote:

-------------------------
Actually, HC drank her shot like a lady. She took a nip and saved some. I guess I am too used to watching those Spring Break specials on COPS..
I guess it doesn't look 'presidential' to drink straight from the bottle. :confused:
-----------------
Speaking of religion..... That pesky rev. wright was at it again!
God, talk about a loser-He went to a funeral and was asked to eulogize the departed, some judge, during the talk had to go on and attack the media.
With spiritual advisors, like that who needs enemas? :confused: :eek:
I watched last night's debate in Philadelphia. Despite the fact that I am not a Hillary fan, I think she scored big against Obama in that one. Of course what I find amazing is that they are making it so easy for the Republicans to gather ammunition with their attacks on each other. Maybe they will self-destruct even before one of them gets their chance to debate McCain. :rolleyes:

Dude,
BO was lying! BO was lying!
I tuned in to Don Imus yesterday and he was laughing at HC and BO.
He said that they were vicious to each other apart, but were (w)ussies when
they meet face to face.
BO answered the lapel pin answer incorrectly. He did state that he thought a lapel pin was an false sense of patriotism on a radio show.
Or, as the stated on Red Eye the other night....Maybe Obama is afraid of the pointy thing on the back of the pin.. :eek:
------------------
And speaking of religion.
The Pope rolls Mercedes, eh? :)
Loved the hydraulics and the hatchback. I just wonder what kinda sounds he jams......
CD? DVD? MP3? :cool:
Do you know before 9/11 we couldn't even find a flag pin here? Guess we Kansans were just unpatriotic. We should have been born with one clutched in our hands like, apparently, the rest of the country. I have one now but don't wear it because it turned green. Guess I'm still unpatriotic, eh? :DQuote:

Has anyone else noticed BO slip back & forth between his"Black voice" and
"White voice", depending on the crowd he's talking to?
It's very obvious when he's doing it but I don't think I've ever read anybody
comment on it before.
I had a friend who could do that! She said it was no different than someone bilingual English/French. Sort of like when GW gets that Texas twang going in place of his East Coast preppie voice. I have read comments on GW's bi-lingualness (is that a word??)Quote:

We asked about it. He said he spoke only French in the winter, English in summer. Spring and fall were the bad times - as he was switching over.

ME! ME!
BO does his 'street cred' spiel when he wants to be hip. I see it more as the
"preacher-featured" voice as he tries to rile up the crowd. He spoke it during the Annie Oakley speech. Another little habit he has is the post-zinger reaction. He'll make a statement, the crowd reacts and he collapses his posture. It's a "come-on! I don't deserve your applause" reaction. False humility. Check it out.

At least we don't have to put up with the screecher! :)

I personally love Bo's reaction when someone really riles him. Watch for
the pursed lips & furrowed brow. :D
Going back to religion for a second.
Bill Maher is a dope.
He made some statements about the Pope that were totally disrepsectful.
He was called on it and said he would apologize on his program and didn't bother.
Yeah, First Amendment and all that, but be accountable.
Typical White Person Alert.
I was watching the sports news and the announcer was doing the golf scores.
All of a sudden he says something like, "How many jackets does a redneck need?" He was talking about a white golfer named Boo Weekly and his win at some Classic or Open.
I thought, "Hmmmm, Maybe one of the spokespeople for rednecks will come to his defense." ;)
------------------
And in hindsight......
What would have been the backlash against BO had he included NASCAR or Ford pick-up trucks as things that people in Penn. cling to? ;)
I tend to avoid both politics and religion like the plague!
Well the polls have been open in Pennsylvania for about a half hour now. I am so glad to see this day arrive. The commercials on TV are relentless "I am Barack Obama and I approve this message." "I am Hillary Clinton and I approve this message." I don't know how I will get through the general election in my right mind. :p
Turn off the television???? :D :D :rolleyes: :p :D :DQuote:

How many votes did Dewey get? ;)
I got this in my email this morning. I thought it was funny, but I'm easily amused. ;)
THEY WALK AMONG US!
They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail
I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I
gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46 .64. I gave the
money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor.
She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she
was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again,
same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.
They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail
I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon
for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a
little chalkboard that said "buy one- g et one free." "They're already
buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free"
She Handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door.
They Walk Among Us!
One day, I was walking down the beach with some Friends when one
of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked Up at the
sky and said, �Where?�
They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real Estate
agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't
want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the
sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun
rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head
and said, "Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff."
They Walk Among Us!!
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One
day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call
center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open
24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern
or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."
They Walk Among Us!
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut
through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
They Walk Among Us!
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases
were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The
cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount .
They Walk Among Us!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went
to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags
never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because
she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now,"
she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"
They Walk Among Us!
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza
to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he
would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time
before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry
enough to eat 6 pieces."
Yep, They Walk Among Us!
They Walk Among Us,
and they Reproduce,
and Worst of all ............
THEY VOTE

More political ads on TV and phone calls everyday are driving me crazy.
(Your political party is exempt from the no-call list)
Right now, none of it is bothering me; not sure why. It's when it gets down to the actual two candidates and the 30 minute long messages start that I want to throw something at the TV.
