On the VP Debate: I rated it a toss up (it will not affect the race). But Biden lost points with independents by being the bully. At least he did not make any gaffs. But as usual, he was doing a campaign commercial not a debate. Ryan came with his A plan and looked very good.
[quote who="cadengem" reply="19" id="3247211"]Oh so obama was lying? How about you guys check you're facts and see who was really lying. Here a link just so you guys could prove to yourself that you're not really factualily correct. http://www.politicususa.com/12-lies-mitt-romneys-debate-performance-mostly-fiction.html[/quote] next time, try a non-partisan site.&n
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="2" id="3224032"]Dream on, it took 4 years for the Democrats to get out from underneath the damage caused by 8 years of Bush... The inertia has finally been reversed, and the only straws the Republicans can grasp at are "did not perform well enough". Democrats win majority...[/quote] You can try to discuss this rationally and logically, or merely recite talking points as you are wont to do. The choice is yours. Nothing
Great pics too!
Great! no time to read it now, but will be back to read it. I love your writing!

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="1" id="3233507"]You can appreciate the value of branding, surely? (I know - stop calling you Shirley) Romney's logo makes me think he picked Ryan long ago.[/quote] Or the final 2 were Ryan and Rubio.
A co-worker just got back from an Alaskan Cruise (end of August, start of September). The leaves there were in full color! I guess Autumn is coming even down here! Have a safe trip.
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="1" id="3233572"]You can keep your zany beliefs in your own home... Same goes for atheists, who are becoming as militant as "believers"... Though I would not object to "Christmas" being declared an economic holiday for the good of the country. eg: Feel free to spend taxes on blinking lights, xmas trees and Santa if it gets people spending money... but keep the angels and Jesus out of it...

A part of all of us who were there (at the TV Screen) that July in 69 lost a big part of our history. To those under 50, he is a foot note in history. To the rest of us, he was always larger than life. A hero.

There is a lot of pride that comes through your retelling. Well deserved pride.
It sounds like you had a very rare honor to get to know this man. And he has the perfect demeanor to have survived both defeats and the Nazis. I wish I could have met him as well.
They will never lose me. They never had me. But in the final analysis, I will vote the same as you.
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="13" id="3221674"]A little OT, but here's a hysterical critique of Mitt's acceptance speech.[/quote] It has gotten to that point.
I do not think it will be that close. (Famous last words). Right now, I expect A significant Romney win (no landslide on the popular side, but a large majority on the EC side).

[quote who="Mezase_Master" reply="3" id="3200053"]The companies are entirely at fault here.[/quote] No, onerous government regulation and taxes are MOSTLY at fault. You can wish water to run uphill, but alas the laws of gravity dictate it will always run downhill. Same with business - they will always find the least cost for the most profit. Regulations are costs - as are taxes.

Seems the truthers are out in force. So many new registrants for one single post. Beyond the speech, what is very evident is that Obama screwed up, he knows it, and has issued orders to his minions to obfuscate the issue. Unfortunately, most people are not stupid. And can easily google and read the speech. And indeed if we accept the meme that he is so smart, we know he would never make such petty grammatical errors. Ergo he must have meant what he said.&
[quote who="PoliticalVortexZach" reply="27" id="3197280"]Please go and listen to his full statement and not believe the Fox News lie. It will always amaze me how they get so many to believe their twisted wording.[/quote] How about dumping the spin and just reading the actual speech. He did say that. He did mean that. Obama is a clean articulate man. And he would never make such a bad grammatical speech as mismatching his subject with his predicate. If h
