last.warning -

this is very hard for me and i might not speak for everybody on this thread but i have to confess i love 3 republicans.

The first one is my uncle x (i try to keep his name confidential) He had a hard time in Jerusalem and it's no wonder that he always wanted to "kill" Sadam - and then there is Peggy - she is "stoneold" and very proud to have met "Ronny" (Reagan) on the terrace of the LA country club and because her husband, who is dead since 30 years - was a republican - she always will be a republican - and then there is my grandma - and i don't think you would want to meet her - because if she is slightly irritated she uses all the kind of words you are using but when she get's really mad she suddenly turns into the "friendliest" person you ever met and it scares people to death - She suddenly says words like "pleeze" and the way she says "sweeet" makes your hair curl and i saw grown men crawl into a corner of the room.

Think about it - a 83 year old fearsome woman - and i (i hate to repeat me) am not able to disown her - as much as i can not disown the rest of my family - as much as i can not disown a lot of things which seem to be a part of America -

So give'em hell boys!

with wonderful fingernails

i only can speak for myself she

there is -

a fundamental difference between Glen's thesis and the aims of the Obama campaign. I don't want to repost Obamas thoughts about "the left and right" - but he seems to understands that there is no "dogmatic" way to judge or define "the media" it will do what "it" loves to do - "trash" and "burn" - and nobody - not even a "sitting" President is "imune" - as Bill Clinton AND George Bush booth have learned.

So learn to fight like Obama -

every child in America knows what you think you know - It's the "yellow press attitude" stupid - but since democratic politics became "cool" like Obama - the "bad guys" are loosing and if they keep on loosing at the speed they loosing right know - even my grandma in a few month will stop watching Fox!

my dad says -

i have to go to bed now - and you guys should smile and start talking about the future and Bush is as good as gone like his republicans - and don't worry about "the media" - they are going to report a lot more stupid things - but nobody is taking them serious anymore - just don't get too paranoid - you guys are too old for that and Psychiatrists are much too expensive and if i come back tomorrow i hope you haven't changed over to the terrible "dark side"!

Yes, it's Obama's war now
