Who has new ideas here in America for jobs?
How about a letter from the government telling veterans again how they can have a second home but their va loan has to be occupied! Try FHA and or Conventional.
How about a letter to veterans and active military that their veterans benefits allow for a va sba loan they could consider a franchise or business. Or how about not coping and coming up with new ideas. Right now the Blog is a swing and follow pattern in conversation. Make it new email and text picture make at least 10 people or even one or one hundred aware of the importance in registering and voting. Children maybe they will be not as well or too cold on voting day use your absentee vote but be careful that it does not go out too early.
Dear Friends:
We need to keep out tax dollars at home and give them to American citizens and pay off out national debt. WE could have used the tax rebate for that.

My question is: How many voters assume Obama voted against the war in Iraq? He keeps saying he is and always has been against the war and Hillary voted for it. One reason many people I know like him is because he didn't vote for the war and Hillary did. Since Obama started his first term as a U.S.Senator in Jan. 2005, and the Senate voted on the Iraq war resolution in Oct. 2002 -- he wasn't even in the U.S.Senate when the resolution was voted on. He should be clarifying his statement by saying that although he wasn't a U. S. Senator when the vote was taken, he would have voted against it if he were there. Instead, he is letting people who haven't checked the dates think that he cast a no vote. My personal opinion is that if he were in that Senate, he would have voted yes after listening to Colin Powell's presentation. Also, voters should wonder why he has omitted the facts and is letting people think he voted against the war.

On the use of the phrase "Democrat Party" to describe Democrats:

As an independent voter living in the state of Washington, I have reason to believe that the name "Democratic Party" is an oxymoron and a glaring case of false labelling. This same so-called "Democratic" group initiated a lawsuit a few years ago which has had the effect of stripping independents like myself of the right to vote in primary elections. Attempts to fix this matter, as approved by voters in a subsequent initiative campaign and then passed by the state legislature (primarily with support from Republican legislators) were then shot down by the veto pen flourished by our so-called "Democratic" governor (who was more willing to abide by the wishes of party bosses than by those of the state's voters). In addition, please note that this same so-called "Democratic" organization decided not to recognize the outcome, or award any delegates on the basis of, the state-sponsored presidential primary which is scheduled here for mid-February. Instead, it will award all of its Washington delegates on the basis of caucuses, which--due to logistics as well as other factors--attract only a small elite of politically-active voters. (The state's Republican Party, by contrast, will award half of its share of national convention delegates based on the primary outcome, and the other half based on the results of caucuses.) So, at least for voters like myself living in the state of Washington, it does make sense to modify a label which suggests a certain quality--a quality which these so-called "Democrats" don't really share.

Re:dellpill
Powell was also responsible for the Mei Lai Massacar coverup. And you wonder how he was alowed to rise through the ranks.

I think the same treatment was given to Colin Powell as is given Mr. Obama. I for one could never understand the hero worship most Americans had for Mr. Powell. Turns out he had feet of clay. Making the speech for the Iraq war and backing the administration's lies which he was aware of didn't surprise me. Probably how he rose in the military. Always wondered how he could go along with George W. and his policies.

Exactly, XYZ. That snide comment put the lie to the title's claim of eating crow gracefully. Not only is it a ridiculous line, its also an outright lie. There's no reason to believe that people who voted for Edwards were voting "against" Clinton any more than they were voting against Obama. No one ever expected any of the candidates to be so overwhelmingly dominant as to garner a majority in a multi-candidate race.

By the way, why has someone posted Krauthammer's column in the comments here? Can that spam be deleted?

And for dessert we will be serving magpie.

big media's collective mea culpa proves you're all just a bunch of blowhards.

that snake oil you bought from master salesman obama? gag from it.

On Iraq, of course he denigrates the surge. That's required of Democratic candidates. But he further claims that the Sunnis turned against al-Qaeda and joined us -- get this -- because of the Democratic victory in the 2006 midterm elections.
Obama has yet to have it pointed out to him by a mainstream interviewer that the Anbar Salvation Council was founded by Sheik Abdul Sattar Abu Risha two months earlier. Obama has yet to be asked why any Sunni would choose to join up with the American invaders at precisely the time when Democrats would have them leaving -- and be left like the pro-American Vietnamese or the pro-French Algerians to be hunted and killed when their patrons were gone. That's suicide. The New Hampshire surprise has at least temporarily broken the spell. Maybe now someone will lift the curtain and subject our newest man from hope to the scrutiny that every candidate deserves.

More proof Obama is not ready to lead this great country! NH debate showed a side of Barack Obama not seen before and it wasn't pretty especially Asked in the Saturday Democratic debate about her dearth of "likability," Clinton offered an answer both artful and sweet -- first, demurely saying her feelings were hurt and mock-heroically adding that she would try to carry on regardless, then generously conceding that Obama is very likable and "I don't think I'm that bad, At which point, Obama, You're likable enough, Hillary." He said it looking down and with not a smile but a smirk people didn't like it and since have started to look closer at obama.
Obama has been getting the media free pass, freest of all passes general neglect of the obvious central contradiction of his candidacy -- the bipartisan uniter who would bring us together by transcending ideology is at every turn on every policy. Obama doesn't even offer a modest deviation from orthodoxy. When the Gang of 14, seven Republican and seven Democratic senators, agreed to restore order and a modicum of bipartisanship to the judicial selection process, Obama refused to join lest he anger the liberal base.
Special interests? Obama is a champion of the Davis-Bacon Act, an egregious gift to Big Labor that makes every federal public-works project more costly. He not only vows to defend it, but proposes extending it to artificially raise wages for any guest worker program.
On Iraq, of course he denigrates the surge. That's required of Democratic candidates. But he further claims that the Sunnis turned against al-Qaeda and joined us -- get this -- because of the Democratic victory in the 2006 midterm elections.

"Mr. Obama has failed to rise to leadership on a single major issue in the Senate," he had a habit of ducking major issues, voting 'present' on bills important to many Democratic interest groups, like abortion-rights and gun-control advocates. Obama is calculating ,For someone who talks about a new, positive style of politics and pledges to be true to his word, Mr. Obama too often practices the old style of politics, saying one thing and doing another.

Calling the Democratic Party the Democrat Party may be a small thing, but remember it is small things, broken windows, trash not picked up that destroys a neighborhood. So it is with language.

Thanks for the info and history of republicans' use of the term Democrat party instead of the Democratic Party. However, this information makes me feel even more insulted than before.

I find it interesting that republicans can insult, "swift boat", or plain lie, yet when democrats complain about it, the democrats come out sounding weak. It seems that the only appropriate response is to laugh at it and then strike back (yes, like people do in High school or Jr. High) because when it is left alone it becomes corrosive. For example, Schwarzenegger's "girly-girl" comment was childish and inappropriate but extremely effective against the California democratic legislature. It put them in a box and anything they did made them look more "girly". Yes the comment was sexist, inappropriate, but effective and to not respond to it because it was "beneath" them, or complain about how inappropriate it, made them look "grily" to "Joe six-pack". The Democrat comment appears to be done to cause the same effect.

As far as the Bill question, first of all, no matter how she uses him it will be received with skepticism because we have no template on how to use a former president. But he is a powerful force. For example, it seems to me that Hillary's camp has been trying to get the press to stop giving Obama a "free ride" and be more critical of him. Many in the press have stated that they love Obama but that is as far as it went. However, once Bill made the charge that Obama was getting a free ride, some members of the media thought it was unseemly for a former president to do such a thing, BUT they then began to seriously look into this question and began to say on air that the media has not vetted Obama as severely as they did Huckabee when he won the Iowa primary. Bill took a hit on his statesmanship marks but it may have helped Hillary.

I said my opponent was stupid and now I am sorry that my opponent is still stupid. I am sorry, I said.

Stumpie, I think it is Obama the Republicans want to run against. Hillary has weathered all the dirt the Republicans can throw at her, and whatever damage it has done has already been done. But Obama is different, he has not seen the dirt and swiftboating the Repubs are saving for him. Also Hillary will gain most all the support groups Obama has if she is nominated, but women who make up the majority of the voters will turn out for her more than they will for Obama. . . . . I assure you, Hillary is the one the Repubs fear the most.

Martinez gets his head handed to him and still he just repeats his slanders in the guise of an "apology"

"It may be the reason a majority of Democrats in New Hampshire voted against Hillary (at this point, John Edwards is one of her campaign's great assets"

She won the vote. Get over it. She beat Obama by 3% and trounced Wapo fave McCain in a purple state.
