   But Bush was evil and Obama’s just trying to bring hope and change. Obviously the media only need expose the evil Republicans. Their job isn’t to actually report truth anymore, just help bring the hope and change, baby.

   In what seems like a lifetime ago, I was once involved in local Democratic politics. This was in Flint, MI and we had our county democratic committee meetings in…. where else? … a UAW union hall. It wasn’t uncommon to see votes occur with more than half the voting members looking to see where the UAW local president was sitting to determine how he was voting.

   Democrats are in the unions’ pockets… it matters not whether they are public or private. However, market forces are working to tame the private ones. Now it’s time for democracy to tame the public ones.

   Oh, by the way… maturity led to conservatism on my part.

    Bill Clinton took the title of “First Black President” so Obama (PBUH) had to settle for the title of “First Union President”. Any decision he makes will benifit unions in some way, and if it can’t he just votes “present”.

    Kennedy was the last anti-Communist Democratic President. LBJ was on their side. By the time Nixon became commander-in-chief, LBJ’s rules of engagement had done so much damage in Vietnam that Nixon felt it better to pull out than stay in and fight to win it.

    Carter was and is a Communist.

    Clinton was and is a Communist.

    Obama is a Communist, and a friend of Islamists.

    There. I said it.

    I remember stories about that loooonnnngggg ago – but, but, it was a Kennedy. And I’m sure the people really had wanted to vote for Kennedy, if they weren’t already in a cemetery somewhere in Illinois. ……

    My first ex-mother-in-law lived above a bar on Halstead St close to the docks. I saw her twice (first and last time) and she was falling off a bar stool.

    That plus the fact that my brand new 1970 Ford Torino (less than 1500 miles, candy apple silver, vinyl roof,) was keyed all the way down one side during the night left a really bad taste in my mouth for Chicago. My Texas upbringing taught me to respect other people’s property.

    Interesting how one can hear the crickets chirping on this issue. I guaran-damn-tee if there was a Republican in any form in the White House, the din from all the shrieking would be unbearable. It is surprising that the Republican-held House is not being accused. Of course, it’s inevitable.
