Conservative thread: We're still smiling!

[Charade]

"I will ask you to not hang and lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer," Rush said.

Some people have no shame in making such accusations.

Yet, when a white person (read: Republicans) uses "hang" or "lynch" as a figure of speech in reference to a black person, it's racist.

I'm sooooooooooo sick and tired of this crapola.

Hi all. Thank you for the prayers. We continue to need and appreciate them.

Welcome, soldiersmom! My best friend served in Iraq for a year. Thank your son for his service for me. I know it's not an easy life.

My daddy helped build that carrier. I'm very proud of him and the work he does for our military. He's been a part of building hundreds upon hundreds of carriers, ships, nuclear subs, etc.

Roland (?) Martin was on CNN today saying that he thought what Blagojevich had done was essentially set a trap and force the Dems to go against someone whom they generally like and set up a situation where the Black community could become very angered at the Dems for stopping him from being appointed to the position. Blagojevich needs to go away, now. But no such luck.

Is it bad that I find this Blagojevich stuff so amusing? I mean, watching the dems squirm on their own race card sword, and having to face — really face — the corruption in their own party, corruption that is simply too much for even the MSM to cover up, has a certain…what's the word? Oh, it's schadenfreude.

I know I shouldn't take such delight in this. Yet I do.

you go right ahead and schadenfreude all over the place.

didn't blago even suggest a special election? i'm surprised he went ahead with the appointment anyway, knowing there'd be issues.

update: i get it. blago contends he is innocent, so why not continue with his responsibilities, of which the appointment of a senator is one. got it. no longer surprised.

They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

Hi everyone! Dropping by to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year. It should be entertaining for all of us to watch what will unfold in 2009. Have a fun night but don't party too much!

I do too. On the one hand I delight in the Dems dancing around this scandalous behavior unfolding right in Bethlehem (aka Illinois), yet on the other hand the profundity of the scandal is sobering.

I'm off to read it right now.

Oh, and hey everyone. I'm just taking a break from the new DS to see what ya'll thought about this new appointment from Balgo (oye vey). You guys did not disappoint.

 

[MeghansMommy]

Soarin- I am so jealous. I wish I would have done something like that when I was younger. You are going to make some great memories.

Me too. What a wonderful opportunity.

Thanks. We're hoping it's a reaction to a medication he is on. If not, he's headed to the Mayo Clinic. We'll know more tomorrow.

I'll pray for your step dad Debbie.

Prayers to Blestmom's Step dad.

Vernors and chicken soup to JB! I know one of the Michigan Cons is a naysayer, but I'm here to tell you we haven't lost one person to the vernors cure!

Vernors cures all.

I heard a few soundbites of her yesterday on SH's show (a fill in) and they were painful. The woman has a tough time forming a complete sentence.

I particularly find it interesting that now she is interested in a senate seat, but can't even be bothered to vote a majority of the time over the last decade or so, not voting in primaries or general elections at all more than the number of times she actually cast a ballot of any kind. Her response? "I'm not that pleased with my voting habits in the past but now I'll be doing better at getting out and voting".

whatever. I'm glad I don't live in NY. And what about her poor husband who has been shuffled off to obscurity so that she can bank on her famous maiden name instead, ditching her identity that she has demanded use of for years now?

==================
Thanks for the chicken soup...not so sure what you mean by the other. I've never heard of it before. Must be a northern thing I'll take whatever will make me feel better. I've been coughing, sneezing, congested, etc. for 5 days now and it is driving me insane. Of course, if I could rest it would probably speed things along...but I'm the mom so that doesn't happen. I love my DH more than anything else in the world but I have really wanted to strangle him the last couple of days. I haven't taken time off work because I dont have anymore time off available, so not only am I still getting up with Jacob at night, I'm working all day, then I come home and he takes off to hang out with his buddies for 4.5 hours yesterday literally minutes after I walk in the door, leaving me with 2 kids. I also had to do all the dishes because every pot and pan we own was dirty and I needed to make dinner....then when he comes home he has the audacity to ask me why I'm not taking a nap....like I can do that with dinner to make, laundry to fold, and a newborn and 6 yr old at home. I swear sometimes men just.dont.get.it.

/rant over.

Sounds like my house. My house is still a pit. It needs to be spotless by tomorrow night.

well, i $ee that illinoi$ ha$ a new $enator. i$n't that $well? roland burri$.

LOL!!!

Hmm... Looks like the race card is being played with Blogo's Senate appointment.

Yeah, I saw that on the news today. Shameful.

Someone mentioned that they don't see Caroline Kennedy getting the senate seat - I think it's going to happen. I don't agree with it - I think she's horribly unqualified, but look what happened with Obama. He's horribly unqualified too.

Totally off topic, and we may have talked about it earlier, but these beach pictures of Obama? Oh please - totally staged and totally inappropriate for a Commander in Chief to be. You've got to be kidding me that people think this is news.

He's truly about as qualified as my 8yo brother. I think any one of us could run the country better. I swear, I should've just written Glenn's name in on the ballot- now THERE'S a man I'd like to see run this country!!

Have you seen the OS who made that pic their avatars?? Ummm.... they're treating him like a celeb or a sexual object- not their POTUS. Not that I'm loyal to him (which I'm NOT), but their..... admiration is a bit creepy. I saw one of them said since he had a good body he'd be, and I quote, "The bestest president EVER!" What, I wonder, was that OS like 6yo or something? What adult says "bestest"? My 8yo bro doesn't even say that!!

Hi-ya! I'm a little behind in reading this thread.
Blestmom- I'll say a prayer, too.

Soarin- Great job on the trip report. I've subscribed to it. Yeah, I don't get the avatar thing, either. Seems like double standard when you think of some of the things said about SP. Speaking of avatars, I need to come up with a new one...

Awww thanks!!! I've come to learn that "double standard" is the OS middle names.... Well I'm perfectly content with my avatar, as made-fun-of as it was by OS. Perhaps I should go torment them.... Noooo way. I'm not stooping to their level.
