By the way, Rush is personally responsible for bringing huge numbers of Democrats to the Primary and will also give us a huge number in the general. But he will find out, his diabolical plan actually energized Democrats so his nasty little plan just flops. However, he did realize how hopeless the Republican chances were so he thought to intrude on the Democrats with his hairbrained idea. In the end, he has single handedly assured the election of Obama. Now watch him switch and say that was his plan all the time. AND if you believe that I have this big resort I am willing to sell you for 50 billion bucks.
The joke will be on Jeff Christie and all the others on the right cheering him on if one of the first things President Obama does after taking the Oath of Office is sign an Executive Order reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine..... :-)

What is it with Republics and their inability to distinguish between a noun and an adverb?
If they had fully functioning brains, they'd be Democrats. Instead, they roam around hunting rinos and being proud of things that no one should look upon as a source of pride.

You've given me more facts(?) about him than I ever care to know. Interesting that you liberals know more about him than a conservative. But, I guess, since I don't listen to him or watch him while you liberals can't take their ears and eyes off of him that would make sense. I prefer to watch and listen to factual news, while liberals seem to love rush. You love everything about him, well you must since you can't seem to stop talking about his butt and other parts.

Oh, don't give us that crap, Phil. Your "Never-Even-Heard_of-Rush" act is so phony, it's pathetic. The only reason that some of us subject ourselves to small doses of Jeff Christie's radio pukefest is to try and keep tabs on what your side is doing.

If you actually listened to factual news, Phil, you would not be as ignorant as you are. And that bit about loving Jeff Christie's body parts seems to me to be a bit of projection. Perhaps you've discovered latent homosexual tendancies in yourself that fill you with shame? And in order to deflect them, you try to project them onto others? Hmmmm???

Phil,
When I heard how pro-war Limbaugh was, I googled Limbaugh and Vietnam to see if he served. The articles came up that Limbaugh had that cyst.
If you had paid any attention to his troubles last fall, you would have heard that he might have violated his probation by having someone else's Viagara.

Yes. it was the Dominican republic. An impoverished nation where it is reported hundreds of young men and boys sell themselves for sex in order to survive. Seems like an island filled with male prostitutes would be the PERFECT vacation getaway for Jeff Christie, going by his personal record of performance...

No, Phil. I knw things because I read about them from reputable sources. For example, I know it's cold in Anarctica without having to go there. I know the Amazon River is very wide without having to see it in person. And I know that once again, you're bringing nothing to the table.
And you can just give up your little game of trying to claim that I'm homosexual. I happen to be straight. I've been married to my third wife for 15 years now and have two adult children from a previous marriage - a 33-year-old son and a 31-year-old daughter. And for the record, I have no problem with anyone being gay - however, I DO have a problem with gays like Jeff Christie who will not admit the truth about themselves. I consider them to be extreme hypocrits.
(BTW. Phil - just so you may actually learn something from this exchange, here's an article about prostitution in the Dominican Republic:

Senator Casey has served almost as long as he has, brought more to the floor than him and he HAS visited with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan within the last 2 1/2 years. Yet, would he be qualified to run for president, no, nothing special about him except he only has one eyebrow and he is not ........

There is no "litmus test" for opinions in the DemocratIC Party, PC - retgardless of what you've been told. We don't go around and hunt for "DINOs" the way poor misguided individuals like Rino Hunter try to make the GOP conservatively pure. That's why there are elected Democrats at all levels of government (federal, state, and local) who are both pro-choice and anti-choice, pro-gun and anti-gun, and on both sides of virtually every issue.
Our differences do not divide us - instead, they make us stronger. Which you will see during this November's DemocratIC landslide.

You're only showing your ignorance now, Phil. Robert Byrd has not been a member of the Klan for more than 60 years now. He now says that joining the Klan was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. And every time you or someone else on your side brings it up, you simple show how little you have in your arsenal of ideas.

Philib and PC, Just to be sure, I don't give a rats' @ss about your diseased minds and thoughts about Democrats. Instead of being whiny posters, try to think about the subject matter, is Limbaugh correct with his assertion about Obama, yes or no? If yes, don't vote for him. If no, then your minds are getting better. But that is the point here.
Remember November 2006....It will be like a tea party compared to what is going to happen in November 2008 if jerks like Rush keep spewing stupidity. And I'm using Rove math.

Coming from someone who is whining about whiny posters, you sure totally ignored the subject matter, also.
Whether I agree with rush or not is not the subject matter. The subject matter is rush/O'bama. I think O'bama will lose this election cycle because he has no experience and he can't even gain support from the democratic base (blue collar workers). The only real support the guy has is from the fringe groups, which fits perfectly his political stance: far fringe left. Americans would have no problem electing a minority, but not one who is farther left than Stalin.

You forgot about Harry Reid, Phil:

I don't have to pull anything out of anywhere to make Democrats sound good when compared to RepubliKKKans, Phil. Eight years of the Bush Misadministration and dereliction of duty by six GOP-controlled Congresses are evidence enough of how unworthy Republicans are to hold the public trust.

bugger off. You're just pissed that I am able to confront you hypocrits with a nuetral mind. While you bring nothing except severly skewed thinking. Your Reid link showed he supports abortion, supports making criminals of those who kill unborn humans (except doctors) and supports using these aborted humans as a source of embryonic stem cell research.
Nice try, but YOU are wrong again. He is NOT anti-choice.

And like a true liberal, as soon as you lose your arguement, you change the subject. You started out claiming 'anti-choice', now you change the subject to 'pro-life'. Are you expecting me to argue that one, too? Since you've already been proven WRONG on your first subject matter, do you really want to tangle with me again?
"Anti-choice" and "pro-life" are synonomous, Phil - they both describe an opposition to abortion. The subject was not changed, and once again, you lose.
I'll tangle with you any time, phil. It's so easy to show that you have no idea what you're talking about on a wide range of subjects. And if you're a typical conservative, us liberals have nothign to fear going forward to this November's election.

By the time I posted I see wz listed others. Thanks!
Looking at the NARAL site for the Senators, I see that Pryor scored 100% by NARAL in 2007. Casey scored 65% and Ben Nelson scored 25%.
That means two of WZ's Senators who are supposedly pro life were scored at 100% by NARAL in 2007. One scored 65% and one scored 25%.
I wish I had time to check out all the Congressmen. It would be interesting.

And also, the 1950s were a pretty exciting time for blacks too, getting their civil rights and all...

Gee - how racist of you. Tell me - are you posting this from some Aryan Nation compound in a remote section of Idaho?

That just smacks of absolute ignorance. Blacks did not "get" their civil rights in the '50s - the process started with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 (ever hear of Rosa Parks?).
Here's another name for you to Google - Emmett Till. Look his name up and learn how "exciting" it was for blacks in the '50s.
(I'm hoping that one of the people I really respect here at MMFA - Miss Pearlene - stops by in this thread and sets you straight. She knows more about Black America during the '50s than any of us, because she lived through it and graces us with the wisdom she picked up along the way.)

Perhaps she can say a few words about Sen. Byrd and his record during that time. Democrats and liberals are SO proud of that man!

The Robert Byrd of 15 years ago is far different than the Robert Byrd of today. He was a product of a segregated society who evolved with time and changed is thinking. Something YOU seem to be incapable of doing, Phil.
Tell me - if Robert Byrd was still the racist you claim he is, why did he endorse Barack Obama? Now, go get some new material and stop litterring MMFA with this old crap that's been disproven long ago.

Your racist tripe is getting annoying. How did McCain and Bush get into their post-high school educational opportunities? I assume you oppose that type of favoritism too, right?

My favorite part is where he says the guy is doing 'The Lords work" by playing the opening monologue of Rush's show at his little private school. Yikes.

It doesn't take much to keep a dimwit happy. Finarfin would probably be just as happy looking at a shiny piece of paper as he is spewing his racist drivel. They take the same amount of brain power.

Do the idiots who listen to this dolt really believe this stuff?
The caller seems very concerned for his party, the "Democrat" Party. So concerned he thinks that there should be some sort of Unity Party with a maverick senior citizen at the head of the ticket and his favorite Democrat as VP.

There is not a bit of racism in Obama's church or any other part of his life. Your merely asserting insubstantial delusions does not make it so.

There's no racism in Obama's former church, and there's no intelligent thought behins any of Philib's posts.

Rush is absolutely right. One only has to look at the overwhelming number of Black elected officials in Congress and the individual state houses as proof.
He needs to join Pat BuKKKanan and Geraldine "Grand Dragon" Ferraro at the Old Bigots' Home.

More racism from Rush, did he ever learn from his Donovan McNabb statements.
Jeff Christie never learns from his mistakes. And he has so many opportunities to learn, if he'd only take advantage of them....

You are assuming they can adjust to "new" information. I have not seen much evidence of that.
That's probably because they never get any new information. The so-called "good conservatives" who listen to Jeff Christie, Sean hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, and all the others hear the same old well-word words and phrases over and over again. It's the old Nazi propaganda ploy - tell a lie often enough, and people begin to think that it's true.
(And before any of you claim that the bit about Robert Byrd and the KKK is true, here's the facts. Robert Byrd joined the KKK in 1942 or 1943 as a young man, because it was expected of anyone seeking public office in West Virginia at that time - the same was true in many other parts of the country. But he dropped out of the Klan shortly afterwards, and now calls his KKK membership one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.)

Maybe Obama gets elected because people like his message. Maybe he gets elected because people like what his plans are, and want to see what he can do.
Experience didn't seem to be an issue with W, why is it such a big deal for Obama? Also, we keep hearing that we want someone who is President, who doesn't have a lot of exposure to "DC Politics", and yet, when we get a person who is just that (like Obama is), all of a sudden, we need someone with a lot of experience.
This whole campaign is making my head spin.

You conveniently neglected to mention that there are three ways to vote: yes, no, or present. If Obama voted present 3% of the time, wouldn't that lead you to believe that the other 97% of the time, he voted yes or no?
You also conveniently neglected to mention the REASON some senators vote 'present'. It's a symbolic gesture in that the senator might not agree with the specifics of a bill, but support the overall idea of the bill. The world isn't black and white (maybe to you it is) and the words 'yes' and 'no' don't always fit the bill (pardon the pun).
Furthermore, you conveniently neglected to mention that your source is seriously biased against B. Obama.
Three strikes, stupid. You're out.

Yes, and that was the point of my post, I highlighted the number of present votes taken by then state senator Obama in relationship to the total numbers of votes he took strike down PC False claim that Most of his votes were present votes.
You also conveniently neglected to mention the REASON some senators vote 'present'. It's a symbolic gesture in that the senator might not agree with the specifics of a bill, but support the overall idea of the bill.The link also provides explanations for his present votes, explanations I believe any human being capable of reason would not take issue with.
Furthermore, you conveniently neglected to mention that your source is seriously biased against B. Obama.The AP can be quite sketchy sometimes, but it’s not The Weekly Standard or NewsMax. I don’t see the seriously bias language you claim
