Aw Cmonnn Kitt

We WERE talking about Mitt here.

That "flipflop" was a gimme to good to pass up.lol

What can I say?-"things" pop in my brain and I go with it.

(Served me well thus far-even if most don't understand me or my sense of humor.

But even I am perplexed by my unconscious shoe thing lately!

Are you really posting comments about Candy Crowleys' weight.

Grow up please.

Are you even old enough to be blogging?

someone using the nom de plum of "Anonymous" and mounting personal attacks on Candy Crowley showss gross immaturity levels as well as any sense of ebing a decent nonjudgmental human being.

Sad really.

Worthless chatter from your previous post about anti-Cassandra.

I thought Cassandra was cursed by the Gods so that all of her predictions would either turn out wrong or that people would not believe her.

Been a while so I'd have to look it up.

Some NOT worthless chatter:

Think it was Andrew Sullivan @ the atlantic that I've just read

that Padilla has filed a lawsuit against Yoo over his wrongful imprisonment and denial of habeus corpus.

May it be the first of many.

Think it was the Atlantic (Andrew Sullivan)that has a post up

that Padilla has filed a lawsuit against Yoo fro his wrongful imprisonment and denial of habeus corpus.

May it be the first of many.

Hope they go higher(GW/Cheney).

Maybe taxpayers should file a collective lawsuit against having to pay damages for illegal conduct by the WH too.

Ondo, Anon

thanks for the post on Cassandra.

I guess it just confuses me when someone is referred to as a Cassandra-do they mean they think they are liars? or do they mean not to believe them or TO believe them?

Maybe Oracle of Delphi (or ant-Oracle) ref would be easier for me to understand without all the irony of a mythologic story!lol

Why would I be upset about that?

Pretty much sums up what GGs point is: that basically msm, polls, don't mean jack.

What your numbers simply showed is sometimes Iowa was right sometimes they were wrong.

50/50 shot DUUUH.

I don't need polls- to BELIEVE- anyhow.

Again, I trust my own inner knowledge to be right(and it usually is)-and it serves me just fine.

Sorry even if the odds were 80/20, 90/10 does not predict what year THIS one will be.

As an extremeley attuned person to all of my senses-I can FEEL-that this year is different-I think comparisons to the 60's for change are palpable.

Expounding on the polls meme a bit, contrary to the idiocy of some on here who only read what someone tells them to. I read connections to msm and polls to parties---as in CBS to GE and war profits. I also look at who puts out polls: Heritage Foundation? I don't think so. GOP thinktank. Others to. BIG oil funds alot of these. So even stock market postings to me like political polls are given WAY to much power as nothing more than manipulated numbers.

Do I know how the questions were asked? What were the words?

all of this is usually not given-and unless you give me that info-I'll not trust it.

The past few months on blogs has cured me of that too. All of the HRC supporters would want everyone to read thier polls as somehow irrefutable"proof" of inevitablity. Got old fast.

It makes a person a victim to use polls(many go ONLY by them).

I prefer not to play the victim or be manipulated by numbers.

Plus-I like my semi-long fingernails. (see I'm off the shoe thing!)

lol. No moving to fingernails means I guess I'm just in a girly mood. (just fyi-colored my hair a few days ago)lol.

I agree with ya on change-I mean, you can't NOT feel it.

cocktail hag

Are you sure she's as bad as you think?

Gotta admit-I'm drawing a blank on what to think about her.

All I know is that I knew even before Pelosi was speaker-she and Harman had fallout. Harmans' Blue Dog I've heard and AIPAC member(Like Levin too)-with San Diego/San Fran being part of millitary complex-I've no doubt alot of Dems and GOP in CAL are bought.But maybe Pelosi holds Harman responsible for delivering Hoyer over Murtha. Pelosi actions these days make her look bought also. So, knowing about the fued between the 2--but I suspect it's still going on. I don't know about either one of them-but which is worse?

Yep I trust Zogby.

I just mean I'm not glued to the tubes for weekly postings.

The Heritage Foundation-yep I know they don't do polls (sorry didn't say that)but the msm used to be notorious(not so bad now)for having someone on from "the Heritage Foundation"as some sort of political experts for commentary (without divulging to viewers thier affiliation to GOP).Just like the "swiftboat veterans for Truth", lots of these have some sort of religious or military title-but look at the funding and it's easy to see the ruse. It's like Rove got some sort of sick thrill by creating these organizations to be the exact opposite of what thier title implied thinking Americans are stupid.

(btw the fingernail ref-meant I don't let polls cause me "nailbiting"panic.)

If one of the candidates had an "epiphany" why would it be necessary to use it as a selling point? It shouldn't.

That person should already have a proven track record of being what he professed to be.

Maybe he already knows who and what he was supposed to be-by some bigger grand design of things. I don't believe in accidents in life.

Maybe the epiphanies come to those who can lay the groundwork and break down the barriers that prevent it from happening in order to make it happen.

just supposin...
