I'm breaking my new rule and responding to you. Funny you should say that after this comment:

Hello again, Steve:

Ok, let's TALK about corruption.. The Republicans are WILLING to put the country into DEFAULT because they THINK it will benefit them POLITICALLY... They don't care about the financial devastation that it will cause, and, if it does, they'll blame the Democrats... They ONLY care about POWER and they think that screwing the country will be GOOD for them...

They ARE playing Russian Roulette with YOUR future. Now, THAT'S corruption!!

excon

Ex, that's politics. But if you want to go there, the left wants to spend us into oblivion, THAT"S corruption.

Hello again, Steve:

Didn't somebody say something about MEMORIES here in this thread?? I think they DID...

What you FAIL to remember, Steve, is that the LEFT gave your righty, George W. Bush a SURPLUS of money... That REALLY happened. I remember if you don't, and I'll REMIND you of it whenever necessary...

So, the current DEVASTATION the country is going through was created by the RIGHT WING GEORGE W. BUSH...

Now, you can chant the mantra of the right wing as long as you want, but I'm here to bring you back to reality.

Your turn.

There are multiple ways that Blago can appeal . For one thing ,Jesse Jackson Jr's lawyers met with the judge before Jackson was questioned to go over with the judge the questions it was permissible to question Jackson about .

There was no evidence produced that proved Blago was doing this for his own gain. He believed ;and I tend to agree with him ,that this was the corrupt system he inherited . To him it was business as ususal in Illinois/Chitown.

The question I have is will this conviction loosen his tongue ? There is a cast of characters in this plot who have not gotten sufficient scrutiny...
Rezko and Stuart Levine
Rhambo
Jarrett
Jackson Jr.
Pat Quinn "the reform Governor " and his sidekick Jack Lavin(yeah they isn't immune from this )
President Obama .

Ignorance of the law is no defense. Neither is "he did it so I can too."

Hello again, tom, and you too, Steve:

I'm getting from you and Steve BOTH recently with his post about the "hands off" stance he believes the media has about Obama...

Do you really believe there's some deep dark secret about Obama that everybody is hiding?? You DO think he's a Muslin plant, don't you?

excon

Don't think I've ever accused him of being a secret Muslim, but I do think he's corrupt and useless.

Tell me ;why the media silence over Gunwalker ? Why has the media not explored the details of the attempt to get Valerie Jarrett Obama's old Senate seat ?

Nope ,I think he can't stand religion. He went to a Christian church on his way up because it was expedient to go to that church in the town he chose to cut his political teeth in. Since he became President I see no evidence of a passion for anything except his golf game.

Hello again, tom:

Gunwalker?? The story about how he sent guns to the narcos. I read about it. No silence there. Did thy go APE like both you and I think they should?? No, but I think they should gone APE when Obama DIDN'T prosecute Bush...

Valerie Jarrett's old seat? I don't know that it IS a story... But, my question for you, is, if it IS a story, WHY doesn't Brietbart investigate?? Are you saying that the lame stream media is the ONLY game in town? They are the ONLY ones who can uncover a story?? Hannity can't?? O'Reilly can't? The limpdude can't?? Rightwingers can't crack the Obama inner circle, but the lame stream media CAN?? There's not ONE rightwing investigative journalist out there?? Not ONE??

Dude?

And this is why atheism is the most maligned minority. It should not mater one iota what religion a civil servant is nor should he favour one over another.

Hello again, tom:

I don't know.. He LOVES them drones... Seems to me, you'd like him for his LOVE of drones, because that kind of LOVE is a very right wing kind of LOVE... He even LOVE those drones more than George W. Bush LOVED 'em. Doesn't that count?? Nahhh, it doesn't.

Could it be, that NO matter WHAT he does, you ain't going to like it?? I think so... Republicans started cap and trade - but when Obama liked it - you sh*tcanned it. Republicans started the Dream Act - but when Obama liked it - you sh*tcanned it. Republicans were for a mandate - but when Obama liked it - you sh*canned it. Republicans LOVE war - but when Obama likes it - you sound positively LIBERAL.

And if the cameras would follow him and his family to and from church every Sunday morning (with Obama waving merrily to and shaking hands with the other parishioners), then what would you say?

Bush attended church infrequently during his eight years as President and did not belong to a Washington congregation.

I can't speak to what Republicans have done . As for me :
I never supported cap and trade
I never supported a health care mandate .
You keep on trying to peg me with postions I don't take . Nice try.

I have been generally supportive of his executions of the war against jihadistan although I know his heart is not in it. I certainly have supported the expanded use of the drones .
My only critique of Libya was that he waited too long ;and then defied even the minimum criteria of his Constitutional requirement to get Congressional approval .

I think his strategergy in Afghanistan is muddled . Why surge if you are not going to let the troops do the job ? Why call Afghanistan the 'necessary war ' during the campaign and decide from the git-go to only demonstrate a show of force before retreat ?

I stand by what I said above . He has not taken the lead on ANY of his intitative either domestic or foreign . He treats his involvement in international affairs as an inconvenient burden ;and he has deferred his priority agendas to the likes of Pelosi and now Biden.

You know why the White House doesn't want him involved in the debt ceiling negotiations . They think he;d screw them up .But he'd better get involved soon. Biden's tax increases are a non-starter . There is no way they can force the House to give in on that .

Double post.

They don't because he doesn't . Bush attended church every Sunday and there was no such demonstration .
Not true.

Correct... for the record . I have never accused the President of being a Muslim AND.. I would have a worse opinion of him if he had attended Rev Wright's church and believed the garbage Rev Wright spoke. My opinion of his lack of religion gives him the benefit of the doubt.

Ex has this habit of making statements and attributing them as my opinion/belief. That was just one of many on his last response.

Speaking of not mattering what religion someone is...

Anti-Mormon bias persists, notably among Democrats

Surely not, libs are better than that. Right ex?

Hello tom:

Nahhh. The libs I know have disdain for all religions equally.

That's an odd article, usually Romney doesn't make it out of the gate because the GOP doesn't vet due to his mormonism.
