GOVERNOR – NEW JERSEY (Rutgers)
Chris Christie (R-inc) 63%
Barbara Buono (D) 21%GOVERNOR – NEW JERSEY (Monmouth)
Chris Christie (R-inc) 62%
Barbara Buono (D) 20%
The Rutgers poll was done January 30-February 3 among 756 registered voters. The Monmouth poll was done February 6-10 among 803 registered voters.
Only communists vote Democrat against Christie.
Moran Atias Corey. Check her out. A member of the tribe as well. Extremely hot.
Add NC to the supposed red states with leftist Dem senators
Alaska
Mo
Montana
Indiana
GOP cannot even win on their own turf – which is shrinking every day, BTW.
America is screwed. Embrace the horror.
LOL – you gotta laugh. Battle of the political parties. Baltimore Ravens vs Slippery Rock, only more lopsided.

King is the stupidest congressman I besides Akin I think there ever was. He is so stupid.
@3 South Dakota
Should Michael really be calling other people stupid?
260.Kate Upton is looking chubby.
Comment by Corey —
WTF! Corey is a vile, vicious man. That is what real hot women are supposed to look like! I’m not sure Bunu has ever said anything as stupid as what Corey posted….Deep breaths…10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1….Ok. I slightly over-reacted with the Bunu comment but, damn, Corey.
Cherie Berry?
I blame the parents.
@6 what SD was pretty close in 2008 unfortunately
Uh, Bitter. Do you have something to say to me?
When you have one party that is Tax-and-Spend, and the other party that is Tax-Collector-for-the-Welfare-State, why are you surprised at the result?
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2013_swimsuit/painting/kate-upton/13_kate-upton_3.html
This is chubby?
Hey jack, GFY. And your deadender friends too.
I want to thank MD for his earlier Kate Upton posts. He adds so much to the blog.
Hey jason, same to you, a***hole.
Jack. Really don’t understand who he is.
Jason who is jack?
Yeah, she looks like about 2 ounces over….
Nobody. Just your run of the mill deadender.
Jack
You were pro-Akin right?
This is for MD. He likes the dark haired women:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2013_swimsuit/painting/chrissy-teigen/13_chrissy-teigen_6.html
” same to you, a***hole.”
Its A-hole to you.
Thanks.
We LOVE jack.
I will take Kate over Chrissy anyday.
10.Uh, Bitter. Do you have something to say to me?
Radnor beat Conestoga for the Central League itle in Girl’s Basketball. I thought you saw it last night.
One of the 9th grade players on the Radnor team was one of the best baseball players on the 8th grade boys team. I don’t know if she will play high school baseball. In 6th grade my son struck her out. He also got a hit off her (she pitched).*
This entitled MD to post a health update.
jason – Kate is proof God exists. There is no way that a few billion years of atoms colliding lead to that.
Funny – just had a test at work today:
BP – 122/65
Glucose – 90
Tri’s – 88
Cholesterol – news was less than great but not bad. It was higher than my measurement a few months back and the LDL was much higher.
197/132/47
The ratio is still OK though. However, I am not sure why the fluctuation happened when everything else seems to have stabilized. I have lost 20 pounds from my high weight.
A jack-jason fight? What ever fights coud we get going where the combatants have the same initial or name:
MD-Michael
SoHope-Stef
Bunu-Bitterlaw
Tim-Tim V.
Glucose 90? That is on the low end of normal. Was this after eating or before. Are you hypoglycemic (low blood sugar)? At 90, I start to get jittery.
@27 but Jack-Jul is a kinda impossible scenario.
They both agree they have to put democrats in congress to send a message!
28 – I was fasting. 12 hours no food Bitter so it is fine. Really, only the cholesterol was a little concerning and the Nurse told me the machine they use has a lot of variation for cholesterol. So, I am not too worried. I have also not been exercising as hard because of this endless cold.
Fasting and 90? I remember when iI had a pancreas. It was a good time.
How about a janz-Jul-jason-Jack deathmatch?
“Jack
You were pro-Akin right?
Comment by MD (IP – Akin and Mourdock Will Win!) — February 12, 2013 @ 7:16 pm”
No.
I really don’t get involved in individual house or senate races, neither the time nor the inclination.
I just look at the overall GOP situation and shake my head.
We have lost the social issues, we have lost the national defense/ law and order edge, and we have lost the economic appeal.
This is what happens when a rotating set of factions takes turns in playing Dem-Lite on issue after issue. Healthcare, immigration, economy, social issues, you name it. One group says amnesty is ok, then another group says abortion is acceptable, and then another group thinks socialized medicine is fine. Meanwhile, everyone has become good at spending.
The BP was the one that had my Doc so concerned last May. He wasn’t happy with the chl but he was downright alarmed at my BP. So that is under control.
I have to say that 33 makes a lot of sense. The problem jack is that our guys say immensely stupid things which gives the Marxists the cover they need. The Akin thing is just one example but it is instructive. We had that race won. Only a calamity of immense proportions could have resulted in sky queen winning. Yet she did due to the amazingly stupid thing Akin said. Then, he doubled down on it, then tripled down on it. The differential between Romney’s win in MO and Akin’s loss was 24 points. That has to be a record.
Maybe you need to drink a gallon of soda per dsy. My BP and cholesterol are fine.
My BP is fine now Bitter. Cholesterol is out of the danger zone still (LDL a little high though but the ratio is good). I really have no desire to turn myself into a diabetic. I have seen too many people suffer with that. We have a friend who has had toes amputated and now her kidneys are being destroyed.
#33:
“Dem-Lite”? LOL
I’m almost afraid to ask this. But, did you have anyone in particular, in mind?
Tim – the northern R’s (when they can get elected which is becoming ever more rare) are a reverse version of the D Senators in the south in the 70′s. I think you probably know what I mean.
Tim,
No, I didn’t have anyone particular in mind.
I have different people in mind for particular issues.
We flat out have given away at least 4 senate seats in the last 2 cycles. I think GA could very well be next.
I don’t even include Angle because I am now convinced that Harry Reid wins no matter what. That lady crushed him in the debate, and in the end it didn’t matter.
What really bothers me is that these guys have to know that saying something that stupid will hurt them, yet they do it and never seem to learn the lessons of the past. COD was in a special category all of her own.
@41 I don’t think GA has enough moderate dems available to run for GA Senate
44 – Yea, I heard that during the summer of 06. No way the Dems have enough “moderates” to take the House in the fall.
Back in 06, you probably still had training wheels on your bike.
Nice warm up:

@45 no, I was in middle school
This is the site for the GOP SOTU response
http://www.gop.gov/sotu/
I don’t know Jack.
is his last name Squat?
There are 411 words(one letter, two letter, three letter four letter, etc. words) that cam be made by using only the letter
I M P E A C H M E N T
I came up with close to 200 without looking it up on the Intertube.
COD. A truly special lady. The I’m not a witch ad was probably worse than Dukakis in the tank. Maybe she should have tried saying, “So I did stupid sh*t in high school. I didn’t raise anybody’s taxes.”
Walt!
Capito for Senate Bumper Stickers for Free!
http://www.capitoforsenate.com/get-your-bumper-sticker/
Walt – one of the Buck Wild girls got busted for heroin. She was one of my favorites. She would take off he shirt for no reason. Her blurred out breasts were fine.
Some of the words you can make include (appropriately):
pitchman, chimp, hepcat, cheap, anemic, enema, cheat, inept, heap, menace, manic, chit, ethane, inmate, antic, imp, hate, pain, mean & ape.
I like hepcat. It has moxie.
Do I really need to sit through this SOTU?
” Only a calamity of immense proportions could have resulted in sky queen winning.”
Anybody can make mistakes. The Akin remark was stupid, but he could have redeemed himself by letting someone else beat the Queen. Instead of becoming a pariah he would at least done the right thing for the party and the country. He would have generated a lot of goodwill and might even have preserved his electoral viability for elected office.
Instead he proved he was just another deadender. A real scumbag. He belongs to the “if the most conservative candidate cannot win, it’s better to have a Democrat” club.
I am wasting no time watching Obama.
Okay everyone I am having an argument with a Rand Paul supporter. They don’t call any of us RINOS anymore. They are calling all of us
DecptiCONS
Rubio picture preparing for SOTUR
http://www.flickr.com/photos/speakerboehner/8468722497/in/photostream
I refuse to watch Obama. The class warfare has only gotten worse. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
I will watch Obama. I need to see and hear for myself. I don’t see any point in reading other people telling me what he said.
@61 we are now all deceptiCONS now
@62 exactly, I am watching it on CNN
Kelly Ayotte is joking around a lot with Al Franken as the Senate forms a line.
I guess I will alternate between the SOTU and the Blackhawks.
Are the Bobcats playing tonight?
Not gonna waste time hearing lies by watching YoMama and SOTU and getting my blood pressure up.
Corey, you and others could take my challenge and see if you can come up with more than 180 words made from the letters of IMPEACHMENT.
If anybody IS going to draw the short straw and watch the POS SOTU, there is a SOTU BINGO card out there you can use to see if you can get 5 in a row.
Good luck.
66 – Corey
Do not get him started or I will be on the next plane to Ohare. I swear to God.
I understand those who don’t want to watch. The only thing I ever refused to watch was the Tampa Bay-Oakland Super Bowl. I did watch the last minute. That is when I learned if you pray for an asteroid to hit a stadium, it won’t happen.
Craving some Deep Dish and Grey Goose?
Deep Dish? yes. Grey Goose? No.
I did have some Chicago style pizza on my last trip to your fine city. It was good! Not sure I would want it all the time though. I have always liked Chicago. Even more, since I haven’t been murdered there.
If the Bobcats talk starts, I’m out for a few hours.
@66 no they are not you are all safe tonight. BT tomorrow is a new day
Going to be so different without Jesse Jackson Jr. present on the aisle during a SOTU hogging up camera time.
@73 I stopped I just had to let you all know there is no game
53.Walt – one of the Buck Wild girls got busted for heroin.
***********
Bitter, I broke that story here a day or so ago. Pay attention, damn it.
The girl was with two DE-troit drug runners. The Detroit drug gangs supply lots of drugs to the western part of WV along the Ohio River.
Corey – I hope the meds are working for JJ Jr. It sounds like that could be the cover story for his obvious corruption though. Setting up the defense.
They are sitting next to each other gain, without regard to party….
Gag.
He’s already signed a plea deal. He will be serving time.
His wife though is also being investigated separately by the Feds.
Michael
Please stop with those updates. It is beyond annoying. The football updates were one thing. This is too much.
80 – Oh, OK. Hey, they share an interest. You see that so little these days. Good for them!
Nice to see Sen. Mark Kirk in the House Chamber.
Looks like the Democrat are going to be wearing green ribbons for Sandy Hook.
You don’t miss me, MD? After all the good times we shared?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKt3v8ATylY
@81 I hardly did any updates last night, it was the parodies running the show last night. Only came last night to say that Lisab’s team lost last night.
It’s been like 3 games ago since I did those updates, relax
It’s ironic because Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandi, who has now also resigned from the Chicago City Council had basically lived separate lives over the past few years.
Would be pretty bad for their young kids if both their parents had to go away.
85 – OK. I guess it is hard to tell the difference. Sorry.
@87 that’s okay
What is with the Jacksons? Are they all totally corrupt?
My cholesterol is down to 220 from 320. You a-holes might have to put up with me a while longer.
There’s definitely a culture of the Jackson Family being able to get away without whatever they want, at least in Chicago.
Also though, JJJ’s last two predecessors in that House district were both corrupt.
Former Congressman Mel “Did I Just Win the Lotto” Reynolds, who served time, is actually running now in the special election, but is not a factor.
89 – I think Tito and Marlon are pretty normal.
Nope – don’t miss it. Funny, I found it very easy to give up. I was drinking an average of 4 to 5 healthy glasses (on the rocks) a night for quite a while. It didn’t bother me at all when I stopped. I replaced it with the treadmill. Good trade.
CNN is starting SOTU!!!!!
91 – yea, most of our councilmen in philly wind up serving jail time. It is almost like you didn’t do the job properly if you don’t eventually serve time.
I’d rather watch some sort of car chase with this Dorner guy.
@rollcall: RT @MEPFuller: Alan Grayson wearing a pink shirt tonight, passing out copies of the speech (hot off the press). #SOTU
Why the hell!?
It better be for Brest cancer
In Cook County, they get their Miranda Rights read to them at the same time they take the oath of office.
Biden is wearing a lavender tie and Boehner is wearing a pink tie.
Is this Easter?
I turned on Fox. Wow. Laura Ingram’s voice annoys me even more than Ann Coulter’s.
I would like to say I did it with exercise but all I did was cut down on Amish food.
Is the speech over?
You know you want a funnel cake, jason. Admit it.
UM vs MSU about to start.
“Mr. Speaker, the Cover Model of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue…”
Sorry, just teasing Bitter.
I don’t think I had any solid food today.
Grayson got elected ?!?!
Poor Rep Upton. He isn’t allowed to think Kate Upton is hot.
I can stare down a shoofly pie and not eat it.
Scrapple is harder.
Yeah, he switched districts.
Yea, the redrawn map greatly favored him.
Going to watch Storage Wars…or American Pickers… or maybe Duck Dynasty
You eat apple butter at every meal. Admit it!
I’m watching Hardcore Pawn instead.
Scrapple is one of the top 5 most delicious foods on the face of the earth.
Will Fox News at least leave a split screen of the burning cabin up?
Anne Coulter is HAWT!!!
(in a strange way)
Justified at 10
Stephan Chu is the idiot in the bunker in case of an emergency. WHY HIM!!!!!!!!!
Because if anything happens, Chu takes over as President, and picks former Congressman Joe Baca as his Veep.
Brandon – Did you see the last episode of the most recent season of Hardcore Pawn?
The guy got our upstairs TV setup working.
Three hours and $209.
Wife wants to watch the lying POS POTUS’ SOTU. Guess I will adjourn to the now functioning upstairs TV and watch al gezera or one of the stations that will not be carrying it.
Where the security guy got arrested for stealing from the shop?
Yea. I just thought of it because I saw him on this re-run.
Have you seen the new spinoff Hardcore Pawn: Chicago? Worst show on TV. It’s so blatantly scripted, its terrible.
Is there an over/under or something on whether the NORK crazed leader will attack the SORKS during the SOTU?
i’m switching back and forth b/w the Bolts getting whipped at home (ugh) and the Heat leading at home (yay). i’m stunned some Republicans are willing to watch an hour of this idiot bashing them.
I’ve never heard of “Hardcore Pawn” but does the Chicago version include Scott Lee Cohen; briefly the IL Dem Lt. Governor nominee?
I gotta catch up on Hardcore Pawn, it’s spinoffs are awful though. I also like Lizard Lick Towing. Its obv scripted but hey it’s entertaining to watch
It’s Wayne and Randy Cohen, so I’m sure they’re related.
Obama is running late. This has to be deliberate.
Yeah, those must be his brothers.
My favorite new’ish show is Impractical Jokers on TruTV. Pretty damn funny.
@127 no we just want to watch the sergeant of arms says those words.
And the Speaker for those first few moments
I would give $100 if at an appropriate point, every single GOP legislator stood up and yelled “YOU LIE”.
I would give $1000 if all 535 legislators did so.
I would give $20 if everyone broke out in a gang-nam style dance.
time to mute the tv
BREAKING: @PressSec confesses the potentially devastating sequester was Obama’s idea http://bit.ly/12K6Nka #Obamaquester #SOTU
Rep. Chris Collins ^^^
Illinois Republican Gubernatorial hopeful Aaron Schock was sure to get a good spot to shake Obama’s hand and get on tv.
i’m stunned some Republicans are willing to watch an hour of this idiot bashing them.
I can only speak for myself. I’m not a p*ssy. I can take it.
It’s at least an hour until this is over.
I’m watching the dog show.
Not bad.
This is going to be torture. At least I don’t have to watch every second, like I used to as a child.
@139 I agree, it is a way for me to hear wht the dems are going to try and throw at us for the year
Chuck Schumer is tweeting instead of applauding.
“I can only speak for myself. I’m not a p*ssy. I can take it.”
you must be a glutton for punishment Bitter. I sat through most of O’s speeches throughout his 1st term. eventually I realized he was repetitive, boring, and insulting to his suppose image of bipartisanship. Im done with trying to listen to his droning. he has no clue how to get anything fixed, it’s just all about bashing the GOP and asking for tax hikes
OK, Bitter here is where you earn the big bucks.
You have to watch the POS POTUS’ SOTU.
All right. I’ve already had enough.
This is the entire speech
http://www.gop.gov/sotu/
We have a paying problem, not spending…
REP. STENY HOYER (D-MD), HOUSE MINORITY WHIP: Does the country have a spending problem? The country has a paying for problem. We haven’t paid for what we bought, we haven’t paid for our tax cuts, we haven’t paid for war.
“Pay for tax cuts” is an interesting concept. Basically it says everything you earn belongs to the government.
Apparently he is going to call for a minimum wage increase up to $9 by 2015.
@150 wonderful, we are so screwed
Bitter, if you are incapacitated during the speech let me know and I will take over.
People thing being LG is easy, until a situation like this might arise.
Im texting my hot date…we are going out tomorrow.
#150, yaaaay. So much for “job creation”.
thing = think
153. The fact she is not watching the speech bodes well for this woman.
im done w/ the Bolts game, that one is over. So much for the 6-1 start
Lebron is having a monster game but still competitive
Raise the minimum wage, you cheap bastards NYC and SoHope! The People United Will Never Be Divided!
Biden is thumbing through the SI Swimsuit issue while Obama is speaking.
The best NHL team is obviously in the Western Conference.
I like Pawn Stars better than Hardcore Pawn.
even my a-political gf who voted for him in 08 refuses to sit through anymore speeches of his, imagine guys we got 4 more years of this because about 30% of none-Romney primary voters decided to sit out in November
Pawns Stars is more believable but Hardcore Pawn has more excitement
160 no its obvious the East and the Carolina Hurricanes are the best!
Whatever Biden is doing, he just doesn’t give a damn about the speech.
I like Pawn Stars better than Hardcore Pawn.
The book expert on that show is Rebecca Romney. I wondr if there is any relationship to Mitt. She is hot because she is so damn smart. As one person wrote on the Rebecca Romney is so freakin’ hot facebook page, one person wrote, “Rebecca is so hot that I could listen to her appraise a phone book.”
Pawn Stars can get boring at times.
Would those deadenders shut up! Don’t they realize they are hurting us
Democrats never seem to think that Teachers’ Unions are special interest groups.
Brandon – I saw Hardcore Pawn Chicago once and that was enough. Beyond horrible.
@168 what Deadenders? are the Republicans booing the President? the opposition party always howls and boos at the President when he says something they strongly disagree with.
Pawn Stars gets a bit old after a while and there is some obvious scripting there as well. Still, for the genre, it is pretty good and I can learn something once in a while.
Yeah I wish they would get more books to appraise than historic artifacts. The guy from the museum with the straw hat would fit right in here in Amish country.
of all the SOTU speeches Ive seen (including those I saw through YouTube that were from before I was born) my fav is probably Ford’s 75 one. Took some balls to say what he did following a wave election against his party.
I so want to see Boehner take a drink of water and do a spit take at some point.
@171 it wasn’t booi g it was more of a chanting. If Boehner is scowling at them like i thought i saw it is deadenders
The Hurricanes have the 13th best record in the NHL. The Flyers are 22d. Michael has a very interesting definition of “best.”
my biggest beef w/ Pawn Stars is that it was one of the first shows that turned the History channel into another reality show channel. H2 is good
Wow Mendez, even I have never watched YouTubes of SOTUs.
I have watched every one live since 1991 or so though.
And who has the #1 record in the NHL?
Bitter the guy gets excited about the Bobcats, the Canes look like the best team in sports history compared to that
Ohhhhh!
Did you see the Speaker’s face!!!
We don’t need a larger government, we need a smarter government or whatever. What a hypocrite
Corey its my History junkie showing
If Boehner is scowling at anyone, it’s at Obama.
The first time Mark wore a blue shirt was really exciting. How big is the Clark County Museum System? That dude knows everything! I just wish he would give Rick a value on something just once.
@181 I won’t say anything until the Canes game is over but so far….
I do remember having read a transcript of an old Ronald Reagan SOTU in some sort of booklet during study hall in High School.
Landrieu did not look pleased
I like the old man in Pawn Stars. You could ask a dollar for a 20 dollar gold piece and he would still shake his head and say no.
i wish the history channel would get back to history and documentaries
Michael, please for the love of God, before mashing on your keyboard, think about what you want to say and then take your time forming coherent sentences so we can actually understand what it is your trying to say.
a little bit of a SOTU Trivia: Washington and Adams delivered theirs to the congress themselves. However Jefferson began a tradition of delivering it via letter carrier, where aides read it aloud to congress. Wilson returned to doing it in person and it’s been that way ever since.
Looks like Barry is bringing Cap and Trade back.
” Landrieu did not look pleased”
Why, did he say offshore drilling was the scourge of mankind?
I think Hoover sent messages instead of giving it in person.
Hope – the historical docu-dramas are very good.
Also, FDR skipped going to Capitol Hill one year.
Corey I think you’re right. I believe he may have even canceled one.
@194 no it was about research and technology, remember the small business bill she tried to pass with Snowe? There is a connection.
Hurricanes defeat the Devils in New Jersey 4-2!!!!!!!
What just happened? I missed it.
well at least one of Micheal’s teams has a winning record
@202 6-4-1, I had better take a picture
@Politics1com: ARKANSAS: Lt Gov Mark Darr (R) announced he will NOT run for Governor in 2014 … but may run for US Senate.
Perfect
this Heat game is gonna go down to the wire. Lebron is really carrying the team today
@Politics1com: ARKANSAS: Lt Gov Mark Darr (R) announced he will NOT run for Governor in 2014 … but may run for US Senate.
#204, he’s the best bet against Pryor.
Darr wouldn’t be the strongest candidate Republicans can offer in Arkansas.
For the Senate, that person may wind up being freshman Congressman Tom Cotton.
The recent History series on the Presidents said that after he gave the SOTU address in person, Wilson said, “Teddy would have loved to do that.” Sometimes you have to break the trends set by Jefferson.
@Politics1com: COLORADO: Ex-Adams Co District Attorney Don Quick (D) launches run for open Attorney General seat in 2014.
Michael, stop following Ron Gunzburger. The dude is an avowed socialist.
Obama is a hypocrite.
He is basically saying, let’s cut the deficit while opening up the US vaults.
And race to the top, oh god!
@211 the only reason why I follow is because he provides the GOP candidate campaign websites
Well, feel free to look at this state pages. I have been visiting that website since 1997 and was the most vocal Republican on his comment board back when he allowed that, but the Twitter updates may get tiring to some.
190. Nah, they would not be competitive if they didn’t have some reality shows.
After I watch Storage Wars, Storage Wars Texas, Alaskan Wildlife Troopers, Pawn Stars, Hardcore Pawn, First 48, American Pickers, Man vs. Food, Diners Drive In’s and Dives, Duck Dynasty, Wicked Tuna, Iron Chef, Man vs. Wild, Survivorman, Ice Road Truckers, Bizarre Foods, No Reservations and American Chopper I hardly have time to spend 8 hours a day here at HHR.
Ray Allen is MONEY
If Ray Allen is money, he may be a buffalo Nickel.
seriously this dude shoots 3s like it’s no big deal
@SarahPalinUSA: Gee, with all of these things he wants to “invest” in, how will he keep his promise not to “increase our deficit by a single dime”?
Breaking News – Republicans hate Obama’s speech and Democrats love it.
“Violence Against Womens?”
by more taxes ofcourse
If he says something about making sure that Sandra Fluke gets the birth control she deserves, people may lose it.
barring some incredible last minute choke-job it looks like my Heat will now be 35-14, now that’s a team to get excited about Mike
We would’ve never heard from Fluke if Rush kept his mouth shut
Wait until LeBron tears his ACL in Game 1 of the First Round of the Playoffs.
@223 oh my god!!! $9 an hour WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is killing the economy
@226 Corey dont pass your bad juju to us
Mike calm down, this still has to pass a GOP House. Im not saying nothing he asks for will pass but he wont get all his wishes
He’s going to save the gun control stuff until the conclusion it seems.
@230 im guessing he will do that whisper thing when he mentions it
They are talking about making the minimum wage $10 in IL I believe.
I may be needing it soon enough.
the minimum wage is so high in SF that there’s no value meals in some areas, maybe Tina can confirm that if she wasn’t in sabbatical
2-1 Blackhawks!
barring some incredible last minute choke-job it looks like my Heat will now be 35-14, now that’s a team to get excited about Mike.
You know they are cheaters, right? Michael told me.
Mendez, if you live in Central FL and are a Rays, Bucs, and Lighting fan, why the Heat and not the Magic?
@235 go to hell Philly a-hole!!!!!
Okay got that off my chest
John Kerry has recently been Botoxed again.
@236 the Magic never connected with me for something reason Corey. There’s something about the Heat that always did. I was a fan before even Shaq came to the team. Its kinda surreal were the most hated team in the league now.
some reason*
197.Also, FDR skipped…
Not after he had polio he didn’t.
He skipped no more, my darling.
were the most hated team in the league now.
What number do you wear, Mendez? Zing!*
*Not even worth fighting over the “possessive” any more.
I never wear Jerseys Bitter, too expensive for my taste. Team t-shirts are fine for me
Biden either has a cramp in his hand or is doing an obscene gesture.
Biden is too busy fantasizing about running in 2016
Romney mentions- 2
Hillary mentions-0
wait is the idiot still talking?
watching Joe Schmo show now
It is unreal that almost every non-food item is $2 to $4.50 cheaper at Wegman’s than CV S. I literally saved $20 on 6 items today.
I have heard that Wegman’s food is more expensive except for cereal though.
So, if you are looking for OTC meds, that is a much better bet than CV S.
I just flipped for a quick second to FOX, I laughed out loud when I saw he’s not done
Are you people going to watch Rubio?
Don’t get your expectations too high. Responses always fall short, regardless of the party or who delivers it.
the only response that Ive ever heard of being remembered was Clinton’s response to a Reagan SOTU
Thank God it’s over.
I watch that show, too. The first time they did it was brilliant. You may have bern too young to have watched it.
The @sshole in CA is now dead!!!
Yes!!!
***not Gov. Jerry Brown
#253, McDonnell’s speech in 2010 was really good.
JC Watts had a pretty well received response to Clinton in 1997, as did Christie Todd Whitman in 1994. They did it before a live audience though.
Usually, it gets done with just a person speaking to a camera, which I think is what will happen tonight.
254 on to the GOP response
#258–yep as did McDonnell. Spoke to the VA Asembly.
Bitter I saw the 1st one. I was In 8th grade I think? The 2nd season I didn’t watch because I found the main dude unlikable. I’m enjoying it’s revival though.
The only response I remember was Jindal. I could not believe how boring he was. Dod you hear that, MFG?!?
im gonna try and see if I can catch Rubio, he’s my pre-mature choice for 2016 so I owe him that
What an arrogant pretender-in-chief…let’s raise minimum wage when the economy is already in shambles that will go over well with business and industry…I already pay more for stuff now…business will have to recoup if wagees must rise…another govt. takeover of business. And gun control…don’t lecture me Mr. President on violence until you protect the most basic God-given right we have – the right to life. Typical democratic hypocrisy at the highest level. Let’ see what the “repubicans” have to say…they better stand tough. Im getting real weary of the establishment republicans and their “caving” to these demoncrats.
boring? you’re too kind to that lame response
this bing line looks bad from obama…indies are lockstep with the gop
#262, that killed his ascent in the GOP. I’m still baffled why he declined to take out Landrieu and is going for POTUS in 2016.
Rubio already looks more lively then Jindal 2009
At least Clint Eastwood didn’t have to open up for Rubio this time.
More people would be watching the Rubio response now though if his wife were standing beside him.
@270 this is true
Rubio doing well. Hitting his stride.
Louisiana is Landrieu country!
Did you hear yhat, MFG?
he’s being pretty aggressive Waingro, I like it
@274 I do like his aggressiveness.
Now he needs a woman as a VP
ok this rebuttal is awesome IMO
Rubio is a very talented communicator.
That is a great skill to have, (not sure why he keeps touching his head though), but it’s too early to annoint him or anyone else for 2016 yet.
All hopefuls will have a lot to prove over the next couple of years.
Are his temples sweating? He keeps rubbing hat area
he needs to fix the rubbing issue but other then that im very impressed w/ the speech and its delivery
He thinks he is sweating, but not sure if it can even be seen thru his makeup. I’m not watching on HD though.
Yikes.
the bottled water…haha
What was the beverage he reached for? Did anyone catch the brand?
Well, at least he is going to get some GIFs out of this.
You could tell he was really rattled in his delivery right before he reached for the drink. Seems to be better now, but I wonder how much that is going to be talked about.
He is talking a lot, and the POTUS always has water up with them. Tough spot to be in.
that sip of water hurt the speech a little but overall I’m happy with the response, top that Rand
stay thirsty my friends.
Wolf Blitzer clearly saying “Uh oh!” when Rubio reached for water.
Now, it sounds like somebody is photocopying something in the room behind him.
Gotta love Respones.
CNN has Paul Ryan
Watching this. Uh, well. Just so so overall. Content fine but the delivery is off a bit. 7 overall.
gotta love Canadians speaking about US Politics
CNN immediately goes to a Paul Ryan interview.
Was it water he reached for. I just caught a glimpse of it, but it looked like a Canada Dry can for a second.
Content was very good and the delivery was as well, besides for about 3 minutes in the middle, when his mind was clearly focusing on how thirsty he was and how sweaty he felt.
And he needs to kind of work on the politician smile at the end.
Corey it looked like Zephryhills water to me
Mark R. Levin ?@marklevinshow
Rubio response.The best response to a state of the union I’ve ever seen. He would have defeated Obama.
Mainstream media is of course panning Rubio for being “angry” and “partisan.”
296 – Levin with his usual hyperbole. Rubio wasn’t ready in 12. Maybe in 16. Overall decent. I am sticking with a 7. Better than Jindal’s.
Bobby Jindal appearing now on NBC.
@297 this from the same folks who thought O’s 2nd inaugural was the greatest evah!
#298, it was MUCH better than Jindal’s.
let’s be honest though, it’s not hard to beat Jindal’s 2009 response
301 – Agree. The bar was low on that.
There’s another response occurring live at the moment, but only a local cable outlet is covering it now.
People were influenced as to how “bad” Jindal was, after the media and the liberals weigh in.
Typically, responses mean nothing, but that’s clearly part of the Jindal narrative right now.
msnbc will i bet
MD had zephyhills pnce. It took 10 days of amoxycillin to cure it. He hasn’t been to Kensington since.
McCarthy just pointed out that the last time we had a budget the iPad wasn’t even introduced
Rand Paul live feed if you care:
http://www.redstate.com/2013/02/12/sen-rand-paul-gives-the-tea-party-response-to-the-state-of-the-union-address/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
I was horrified for Rubio right when he took that drink, but maybe people will understand the circumstance…
Probably aged his political team about 10 years.
Corey – jindal has given plenty of dull speeches.
If that doesn’t bring out MFG, nothing will.
Looking at the GIF now. He should have anticipated that might happen and had a joke prepared explaining why he was going to calmly enjoy a beverage.
I hear he chugged a Corona during the Spanish language response.
Rand Paul just paused in the middle of his Tea Party response to take a bong hit from the Aqua Buddha.
I doubt this derails Rubio but it doesn’t help much either.
You got me to laugh, and then laugh again just as I was coming out of the first laugh. Well played, Corey.
Thank you Cory. It’s an international tragedy that I am not on Twitter.
Republican activist types will like what Rubio did tonight, but wow, he sure looked guilty sneaking that water.
For a big moment like that, these people really need to anticipate and practice for anything.
I think the rebuttal will end up forgotten by most but if he can fix his delivery and do more speeches like he did at the RNC I think Rubio can build on that for a future run for President
Rubio with a great self-deprecating tweet:
https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/301541052949614593/photo/1
310- He actually pulled it off pretty well, including the water sip- but yeah- dry mouth sucks- He’s a South Floridian speaking at length in Washington in winter at 10:30 at night, probably not used to the heating system on full bore sucking all the moisture out of the air.
Rubio made a joke during his RNC speech about how he just drank Clint Eastwood’s water.
He clearly needs to stay hydrated to be on his game.
Aw. The cop killer burned. Bunu to express weird outrage in 3…2…1…
Good night
I would hope they had the air conditioning on during his speech.
He was really under the impression that he was sweating like Nixon though during part of the speech.
Poland Spring! That will help in the 2016 Illinois Primary.
I’m a bit disturbed to see on Rubio’s Twitter feed that he is rooting for Lorenzo Arbos on American Idol.
It is a reflex issue. The water is necessary just in case. With public speaking, it is very easy to have your voice go extremely dry. They do coach you on how to do it properly but on TV it is hard to take the sip and not look awkward. Speaking to a large crowd in a room and it is much easier to get away with it. I know. I have done that countless times.
I was more concerned with him touching his head. I am betting he didn’t do that in rehearsal. A guy like him just might need an audience. He was outstanding at the convention.
Time Magazine is going to continue with their savior Rubio narrative.
Next cover will be Rubio with the caption “I thirst…”
Interesting, people will probably remember more about Rubio taking a swig of Poland Spring (and doing so pretty well) than anything the President just said in his hour + of speech.
Yea, there will be some stories on this but I don’t think it is a deal breaker. The dead enders are already labeling him a liberal so that their messiah, Rick Santorum, can have a clear field.
Rubio: Thirsty for Change
what….no vinegar in a sponge???
329- I don’t see how it hurts him – makes him seem a bit more laid back, and unlike Jindal’s monotone response- it worked.
If Rubio runs, a 2016 GOP primary could include Jindal, Rubio, Chris Christie, Rand Paul, and God knows who else- I think the best chance of a qualified “dark horse” would be one of the Midwestern governors, depending on who gets reelected and by how big a margin.
There was some serious fear in Rubio’s eyes as he reached for and took that drink, knowing it was the last thing in the world he was supposed to do.
Nobody will remember it happened by 2016, if that is what he is looking ahead to, but he also better be sure that he doesn’t have a sweating issue.
A Frank Luntz focus group on Fox. Oh, the glory days when we thought they meant something.
Breaking News – only hard core political junkies watch the response to the SOTOS.
Frank Luntz SoCal focus group prefers Rubio’s vision to Obama.
Imagine that.
I want Rand and Ron Paul running in 2016. O-100 in one year would be awesome.
If this were a fake controversy, would the Rubio thing be “Watergate?”
335- Frankly, I’m surprised if many people who aren’t politics junkies or dyed in the wool partisan fans of the President delivering it keep watching one of that length all the way to the end. I’d be fascinated to see a chart of audience drop-off for something like that.
WPA – I think it doesn’t hurt him but it doesn’t propel him either.
No, MD, it was bottled water, not Propel
The Blackhawks are now 10-0-3, having only lost 3 shootouts. When I talk about them on here, they fail to get both points.
Goodnight.
Corey – yea, they look awesome.
Rand Paul didn’t have to take a sip of water…he sold his soul to AquaBuddah and has never thirsted since
One advantage that I just read (can’t confirm as I don’t have the channel) on Telemundo- Obama’s SOTU is only now airing in Spanish, over an hour after Rubio’s Spanish response was aired live.
Ok, I just watched the “water” gate incident with Rubio. Definitely awkward, but I am struck with how far away that water was. I mean, why have it so far of to the left and down such that if you need it, it is basically out of easy reach?????? That is something the advisors should have handled. Doesn’t help him but really it’s more symbolic for how NOTHING is breaking for the GOP right now. Just nothing .
And why not have it in a glass????? By the way, Rubio should have made a joke about it. Would have humanized him, but hard to pull it off in the heat of the moment.
347- He did, he tweeted the water-bottle afterward.
348. DURING would have been so clutch. Not after the fact when told to do that by his handlers
Also clutch- he recorded the Spanish language response first- it aired before O’s SOTU on Spanish language television.

Obama or Cicero?
Roger Kimball
February 12th, 2013 – 4:17 pm
It’s no contest for me. I am not going to be listening Barack Obama tell us how much more of our money he wants to take to pay for his fiscal incontinence. My cardiologist, worried about my blood pressure, forbids me to listen to Barack Obama in general. A “State of the (dis)Union” address would send him (and probably me) into orbit. Who is he going to insult tonight? The Supreme Court again? No, they gave him the monstrosity of ObamaCare. Maybe it will be some prominent supporter of the Second Amendment or a high profile advocate of limited government or economic growth. I just can;t bear it, and, besides, it will be impossible to escape the cataract of commentary before Barack Obama’s teleprompter’s go dark. Instead, I am going to curl up with Anthony Trollope’s splendid biography of Marcus Tullius Cicero. As Imentioned here recently, I have been reading around in Cicero a bit recently. The parallels between his corrupt times and our own are painful and inescapable. “Whoever governs a country,” Cicero wrote in On Duties, “must first see that citizens keep what belongs to them and that the state does not take from individuals what is rightfully theirs. . . . Indeed, the chief reason we have a constitution and government at all is to protect individual property. Even though nature led people to come together into communities in the first place, they did so with the hope that they could keep what rightfully belonged to them.”
Are you listening, Barack Obama? Of course not. You are too busy spending, spending, spending, then taxing, taxing, taxing, to listen. But others are listening. It won’t be long before thinkers like Cicero are once again in the public eye. And not only Cicero, but other Romans and Roman practices. I would not be at all surprised if the custom of the custom of damnatio memoriae, (He never existed) ,for example, made a sudden come back.

Morning.
Did not see the SOTU, have not seen any news about it or read anyone’s comments here.
I figure YoMama said he was going to get right on getting people back to work–while at the same time saying the economy was doing fantastic (which you would think would cure the unemmployment problem).
Also more big government intiatives, more spending–while offering no cuts, red meat for his base–while saying he wants to cooperate with the evil Republicans who obstruct his every move, and little on foreign affairs and events.
Correct me if I am wrong.
a lot of WaWas have popped out in Central FL lately, haven’t been to one yet though

And I heard he titled his plan to boost membership in the Catholic

Obama decided to make guns the focus of his speech. I hope it backfires, pun intended.
Rand goes after Obama on drone strikes assassinations.
Rubio was excellent. Everyone drinks water during a speech even Tim’s Messiah.
He basically offered the choice between big government and free enterprise and he sold free enterprise well.
Unfortunately there are now too many people with a stake in big government.
But it was the right message.
Rand sounds presidential to me.
Rand Paul is focused on protecting terrorists.
Good luck with that message.
Bunu your mom asks you to please stop playing with yourself while looking at your Rand Paul poster
” approving drone strikes overseas of suspected terrorists who are American citizens, such as Anwar al-Awlaki.”
I approve of them too.
Dorner had endorsed Obama’s gun control plan in his manifesto.
Yesterday he killed another cop.

Contrary to Bush running as a “uniter not a divider” rhetoric along with Obama also stressing bipartisan in his speech, Rand tells the truth:
Bipartisan is the problem

This from the Star Ledger today
.on the very same day Menendez interceded with Obama administration officials on the ports deal last summer, he also went to bat for another company involving a heavily disputed Dominican road-building contract. A deal, records show, that benefited New Jersey investors who contributed to his campaign. The road contract, which has attracted scant attention in the United States, involved a firm called Codacsa, a Spanish consortium with U.S. interests, various government records show. At a hearing on July 31, 2012, of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere — then chaired by Menendez — the New Jersey senator called on the U.S. government to pressure the Dominican government on behalf of Codacsa in connection with a $42.5 million international arbitration award, according to an official transcript of the proceeding. After fighting the Dominican government for years over a contract it won in 2001 for two big highway projects, Codacsa had won the arbitration award in January 2012, but had no way to collect the money.
Menendez, a Democrat, told officials from the State and Commerce departments that countries needed to be sent a message that they could not violate trade agreements and a

Bobby Jindal tanking:
For the first time in his career as an elected official, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s job approval ratings have sagged into negative territory. A new poll released last week shows that only 46 percent of voters like what he is doing and 48 percent do not.
Mary Landrieu now more popular in LA than Jindal.
Way to go Bobby!
Jindal is probably doing what he said he would do. The quickest way to become an ex-politician is to actually follow through on your promises.
#402, what are Landrieu’s approvals? She is actually close to 50%?!
You have to ask #401, I have no clue.
Jindal w/ negative approvals in a state he won re-election in w/ like 70%+ of the vote?
#404, wow, it’s 59%. So much for picking up that seat. UGH.
http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/02/jindal_approval_ratings_dip_be.html
ok I overstated it, Jindal won re-election w/ 65.80% of the vote, winning every county in the state
it should be noted LA Cajun has a history of posting on here any bad news for the GOP in LA, he’s kinda like that state’s Robbie
I thought for sure Landrieu was a goner after CrappyCare. Unreal.
I’ll have to see another poll before I can confirm such things. It’s a very little known pollster and we’ve barely gotten any polling in that state. I always thought Landreiu would be more of a challenge then some thought but 59% approval would surprise me
Waingro I thought the same here in FL w/ Nelson but he won re-election in a landslide while O barely won the state
#411, her seat is pretty much a must pickup for any hope at getting back the Senate in ’14. The math gets to near impossible levels after that.
#412, right, but LA has gone VERY red since then, while Florida is still purple.
Plus, it’s a midterm coming up.
CHRISTOPHER DORNER STANDOFF
Newscast PRANKED

,
408, Art, LA Cajun has no such history, just when all you folks on here listen blindly to MFG about Jindal being the next Messiah for the GOP. Jindal has spent most of his carear as a public official and lacks real life experience. He would be a disaster in the White House. As for Landrieu, she is benefiting greatly from the popularity of her brother as mayor (also former Lt. Governor) of New Orleans. The general consensus on Mitch is that he is doing an excellent job managing the city.
I have supported Jindal in every election, I have given him $ and personally campaigned for him, but he governs the same way as Obama. Its his way or the highway. He makes few friends and plenty of enemies.
As for Mary Landrieu, nothing would make me happier than to see her defeated, I supported Jenkins, Terrell, and Kennedy against her in all of her elections, but she will be very tough to beat in a state that is swinging back toward the middle.
“…LA Cajun has no such history,…”
Comment by LA Cajun — February 13, 2013 @ 11:12 am
a guy that refers to himself in the 3rd person, wow…
“all you folks on here listen blindly to MFG about Jindal being the next Messiah for the GOP. ”
must have missed the many comments last night having fun w/ Jindal’s boring 2009 response
“but she will be very tough to beat in a state that is swinging back toward the middle.”
That is depressing.
With Valentines Day coming up, it seems like a good time for a friendly reminder to remember to celebrate Steak and BJ Day on March 14th. http://www.steakandbj.org/
I have supported Jindal in every election, I have given him $ and personally campaigned for him, but he governs the same way as Obama. Its his way or the highway. He makes few friends and plenty of enemies.
-Is he balancing the budget without increasing taxes? Is he making sure the public sector workers do not get better deals than the private sector? Is he giving parents the option of using vouchers to send their children to the school of their choice?
What policies of Jindal’s don’t you agree with? Do you have a need to like your Governor, or your Senator, or your Mayor?
” Jindal is probably doing what he said he would do. The quickest way to become an ex-politician is to actually follow through on your promises.”
It had to happen sooner or later, law of averages.
I agree with NYC.
Jindal has to govern. That takes its toll.
The comment that he governs like Obama is deadender hogwash.
“a guy that refers to himself in the 3rd person, wow…”
-As opposed to a guy who refers to himself as Senator??*
*You had it teed up perfectly!
Have to weigh in here. Jindal has taken a big hit because he is doing things that are good for the state in the long run but threatening to the 47%ers who don’t like having their freebies taken away and the teachers unions who have sued him at every turn for trying to improve the disaster that is our public school system. If there was an election today or this year, there is still no DEM in this state that could defeat him if he could run for a 3rd term except Mary Landrieu. I strongly disagree that she is gaining benefits from her brother, I think it is the other way around. Unfortunately, I expect her to win again. I know it makes no sense and she is terrible, but she has a cult following not unlike “the ONE”. She is already on the air with ads talking about how she is “fighting for Louisiana”. She manages to always get some useful idiot GOP local elected officials a sweet deal on some federal money and they endorse her allowing her to say she is non-partisan. I am hoping that Jay Dardenne or perhaps my representative Bill Cassidy will oppose her. I think that would be a very close election, but she will be able to buy enough votes in New Orleans to win in the end. I really would love to be proven wrong, but she has been SO bad for SO long and yet wins. So, I need to be proven wrong.
I hope the anchor doesn’t off herself like the nurse that got pranked in London by the Aussie radio hosts.
“-As opposed to a guy who refers to himself as Senator??*”
something acknowledged by many on here
” As opposed to a guy who refers to himself as Senator??*”
Awww, NYC is feeling inferior again.
Look, you can run for office next time around. I will even vote for you since you supported me.
Geaux she is a very good Politician, she knows how to survive close elections. However I do think 2014 is a great chance to beat her. Again one poll doesn’t convince me. I’d like to see more.
424. Good weigh-in.
Awww, NYC is feeling inferior again.
-Yes, and I make sure to visit HHR so y’all can boost my ego!
Geaux, I believe strongly that Dr. Cassidy is our best chance to take Mary out. He is a much better candidate than Dardene to go up against her.
Just make sure you remember who says How High and When, Senator!! Now get to the store!
” Jindal has spent most of his carear as a public official and lacks real life experience”
Oh please.
Obama never ran a lemonade stand. Yes, it shows, but let’s not put a false negative on Jindal.
Jindal worked for one of the most prestigious consulting firms in the world., McKinsey. He was an intern for a US Rep, Secretary of the LA Dept of Health and Hospitals, President of the University of LA System and main adviser to the HHS Dept. He served two terms in the US House. He has elected Governor twice.
No life experience?
Geaux, Mary is definitly gaining popularity from Mitch in the republican suburbs of New Orleans – St. Tammany and Jefferson. I bet she runs better in both parishes than she did last time.
Can we get any good candidate to take on landrieu?
Problem is Jindal doesn’t govern. Much like Obama, he expects everyone to do exactly as he says or he slits your throat. He can’t even keep a full staff. The turnover is like a revolving door.
This is the year to knock out Landrieu, midterm year!
http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/video/sen-rand-paul-delivers-tea-party-state-of-the-union-response/
437. I pray you are correct.
Obama promises to be very active in the midterm election. They can only nationalize it which is very bad for a number of Red state Senate Democrats.
@439 I hope so too. After this year they (including pryor) are almost solidly in their seats
Problem is Jindal doesn’t govern. Much like Obama, he expects everyone to do exactly as he says or he slits your throat. He can’t even keep a full staff. The turnover is like a revolving door.

(Michael, I am being sarcastic.)
I was actually more worried about Pryor’s seat versus Landrieu. I think those will both be tough.
The only 2 seats I feel “good” about right now are West Virginia and South Dakota. And that could easily change.

It is time Democrats admit that not every dollar spent on domestic programs is sacred. And it is time Republicans realize that military spending is not immune to waste and fraud.
-Rand
Yawnnn………
Translation: let’s gut the military and pretend we are “cutting waste and fraud”.
Note to Rand Paul: nobody is in favor of waste and fraud in the military.
Well Iraq, Afghanistan, Extra bases, war on terror are a waste,etc
Bunu you’re a waste of breath on this Earth
Rubio explains his water moment… well

“Well Iraq, Afghanistan, Extra bases, war on terror are a waste,etc”
Thanks for making my point.
#451, I wasn’t impressed with Rand Paul’s speech at all last night. He nearly put me to sleep.
Bunu, obviously you don’t believe Rand Paul when he says “an attack on Israel is an attack on the U.S.” or you wouldn’t support him.
NYC believes him.
Who is the sucker, you or NYC?
If Paul was trying to compete with Rubio he failed miserably.
It was a stupid stunt anyway. Either he is a Republican or he isn’t.
Maybe next year this idiocy will branch out. Some senator will give the Club for Growth response, another the NRA response.
If I am so honored, I will give the HHR response.
Whatever. I’ve said before that I’m supporting Rand Paul hard core in the primary.
There is no guarantee, as I’ve said many times before, that I would support him in the general election. Ron Paul…hell yes. Rand Paul well it depends what he says\does, and probably more importantly who else is running.
But all being said, Rand is by far the best the republicans have to offer.
Second point I forgot to mention is that Rand Paul is more machiavellian than his father.
Although personally I think all that is pointless, and I think Ron had a better strategy. If he were younger, he could have ran again, and kept grinding the state the GOP parties until they broke.
Bunu knows how to pick a winner, remember his God is 0-100+ in state-wide races but he can win caucuses!
I should not he can win behind the scene caucuses, not actual open to the public ones
It sounds like Rubio’s Spanish version went over very well last night. Honestly, that may be the most important and underrated result of last night.

“Whatever. I’ve said before that I’m supporting Rand Paul hard core in the primary.

HUH???? Who would you vote for in the General? Did Bunu just expose himself here?
let’s be frank do we really care what Bunu does in November? i’m more concerned with his state of mind
we haven’t asked Bitter what he’s giving up for Lent yet?
#466, well, that goes hand in hand with my question of him really. He’s not even coherent in supporting his own rumpswabs!!
“HUH???? Who would you vote for in the General? Did Bunu just expose himself here?”
The best candidate of course.
I almost always vote third party if they produce a third party.
My point was Ron Paul is a like a dream candidate of the Libertarian\Constitution Parties.
There would be no reason to ever consider third party if he had gotten the GOP nomination.
With Rand Paul that is not the case. He could very likely be superior to 3rd party alternatives.
But if he moves to far to the middle, or starts pushing stupid stuff, then I think a lot of Paul supporters would bolt after the primary.
But I certainly don’t want to see Marco or Jeb in there so he has my unconditional support for the primary.
The Landrieu magic name should guarantee that Mary is reelected. Her brother is doing a good job in New Orleans.
Bitterlaw, Do you know what the chemical was that sickened the students at Villanova yesterday? Nothing about it at their website.
“My point was Ron Paul is a like a dream candidate of the Libertarian\Constitution Parties.”
Translation: Ron Paul is a dream candidate for nutjobs
I like my men brown and able to last
-I told you I’ll see you after 40 days and nights of brown rice. And I’ll last, but maybe not on that first night.

-Can you go back to just posting links?
#457
Who determines this stuff anyways? Wonder if Mitch McConnell who wanted Rubio.
If so maybe we should kick that guy out of the senate just for the fun of it.
Bunu needs help, seriously. I can’t help but think we’re witnesses to someone who will snap out in anger at someone
*yawn*
the man (if it is indeed a “he”) has no life but to worship Ron Paul
Someone has yet to explain how Reagan managed to double the size of the US government.
Ok, if he really wasn’t in control of any of it, you think he would be pissed off at the whole debacle. Nope he was smiling like a dope the whole time.
These politicians rearrange the deck chairs, get rich, enrich their friends\party, and are power hungry. Don’t trust any of them.
wow Bunu w/o the links is somehow more annoying then w/ the links
I’ve been looking over the posts, but not paying strict attention.
Did I read that bunu was exposing himself?
If so, I’m glad I was working.
Rand Paul sounded presidental to me….
Rand Paul is the future of America…
I like Rand Paul…
If Rand Paul asked me perform certain sexual favors on him, I would consider it.
But I’m not a gay or anything…
I just realized that I don’t like Ronald Reagan…
The first name’s cool but that’s all.
My 5 cats (Ron, Ronnie, Randolph, Paul, and Ayatollah Khomeini) just did the cutest thing. They hissed at our Jewish mailman…Good time, good times.
I don’t know what chemical caused students to be sick at Villanova. I live 2 blocks from the campus so I assume it wasn’t too bad.
http://www.governing.com/news/state/mct-ohio-district-shows-data-manipulation.html
Four more Ohio school districts manipulated their student data, and the findings are being turned over to federal officials, State Auditor Dave Yost announced yesterday as he released the results of his statewide attendance investigation.
That brings to nine the number of districts the auditor has identified as having “scrubbed” student data, perhaps in an attempt to inflate their state report-card grades. In all, Ohio has 614 school districts.
The nine districts improperly withdrew and re-enrolled students during the 2010-11 school year to remove their test scores and absences from calculations used by the state in producing report cards, Yost said.
I agree, we can lose Senate seats in Blue States…but why do we have two democrat senators in MT, one in ND and one in SD,,,and two in WV.
disapointing numbers from NC. What in the heck has Hagan done for NC? Did they forget that she voted for ObamaCare.
” Did they forget that she voted for ObamaCare.”
well Obama did come w/ in 2 points of winning the state
…but why do we have two democrat senators…in WV.
Because those people are stupid and easily brainwashed; they get their goodies from the Dem machine but cry when national Democrats try to grab their guns or shut down coal.
“Second point I forgot to mention is that Rand Paul is more machiavellian than his father.”
A heck of an endorsement from Bunu.
I can believe that is true, NYC has sure swallowed the bait hook, line an sinker.
My two Dobermans, Adolph and Himmler, know how to snarl at the Israeli flag and will only crap on the lawns of Jewish neighbors.

A drunk man who smelled of alcohol sat down in a subway car next to a priest.
The man’s tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.
After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, “Say Father, what causes arthritis?”
The priest replies, “My Son, it’s caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow man, sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a bath.”
The drunk muttered in response, “Well, I’ll be damned”, Then returned to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. “I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?”
The drunk answered, “I don’t have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does.”
That’s great, Walt.
Really funny.
At lead the Lt. Gov does well against Landrieu.
It’s too early.
Go to the PPP website and vote for any state but Georgia. PPP is going to try to push poll and save Broun’s ass
Joe Biden speaks the truth!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zQ9EOiUb4o
The Nola poll reads like a push poll – all about why LA should take the medicaid funding. I’ll believe it when I see it. Considering Landrieu got 52 percent in 2008 there, I’d think she’d be vulnerable as hell.
Meanwhile, PPP is claiming Jindal’s approval rating is only 37% – and I call horse*hit. They now claim Landrieu is at 47-45 statewide…sure…
I have immense difficulty believing Landrieu would lead Jindal 49-41.
Also- who here suggested Louisiana is swinging back towards the middle? Obama got 40% there in November.
GF?
D
499- Yes?
Louisiana is going to be red for like 20 more years for sure.
Are you in the Navy, or the CIA?
