Alex Koppelman

The story was "Lee Hamilton is backing Obama".

I don't think I was treated unfairly, it's your website, you can do anything you want with it.

All this is just funny to me. I don't take this too seriously so I wouldn't waste me time if I were you but thanks for asking.

WES

Maybe Koppelman is as sick of listening to me as my wife is.

If your 5 grand idea gets any traction, I'll go in halves with you on our own website.

If that doesn't get you deleted...

nothing will.

Ladies...

...please don't mess with perfection.

I can't help but say...

...that I just heard Bob Barr will announce his intention to run on the Libertarian ticket. He would be an interesting candidate if he didn't happen to be an absolute scumbag.

I wonder if Barr is getting his ass chewed out by McCain yet?

This just gets funnier and more bizarre by the second!

I'm now more interested in the McCain/Barr battle than the Clinton/Obama snoozefest.

The laughs should be epic!

Heckling is the harassement of someone with questions or gibes.

Anyone who asks me a question I don't like can be considered a heckler by me. Since CNN doesn't really like to cover questions that make you think for a minute, I guess it all sounds like heckling to them.

Jack Cafferty should be given Blitzers job.

The best thing about having rose colored glasses on is...

...you don't see all the blood on the uniforms of our dead soldiers. You can just pretend they're all sleeping. All 4,020 of them....and a few more tomorrow, etc., etc.

Doesn't really matter what any General says.

I just watched a network report on the presidential opinions of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and it looks like the troops just might take their future into their own hands after 7+ years of getting shit on. Lots of democratic votes seem to be coming from the military in the near future.

Here's a word for Reid and Pelosi: Don't shit on the soldiers this time around if they have the balls to hand their future to you. Grow a fucking spine and do the shit you said you would over a year ago.

I wouldn't worry too much about the "100 years" comment.

With the nation at a debt of 9.45 trillion, we'll be going into receivership in the next few years and then the troops will have to come home.

Feel free to use this line Mr. McCain, I don't mind.

Original article: Tancredo's one-track mind

Tancredo might be off track but he's essentially correct.

The military does have an investigative unit that keeps track of gang members serving in our armed forces. The Iraq city-scape is littered with american gang graffiti and higher-ups are trying to keep an eye on it.

Tancredo IS a massive jerk-off but he's not wrong on this one. Someone should let Petraeus in on it so he doesn't look like a fool/liar when he's asked about it.

Then again, if I know about it, Petraeus knows about it and just decided to play dumb on that one.

Original article: Spare votes?

I don't put my hand over my heart during the pledge either.

And I leave 2 words out as well.

I guess I'll never be president.(sniffle)

Now, if someone could just get Rosie Perez to model...

...and Jennifer Love Hewett, I might pay attention to the fashion industry!

The Great Failure

The great failure of the Democrats, who took over Congress in 2006, is their refusal to hold the Bush Cabal accountable for their crimes. Thank you Nancy Pelosi. Thank you Harry Reid. Apparently, in 2007 it just wasn't convenient to defend the very foundations of what it means to be an American. After all, the Dems had lists and lists of other capitulations to make to their friends on the other side of the aisle. Which is all to say, through their inaction, Democrats hold the Constitution with the same disdain as Republicans do. It's nice to know there are some issues the parties can all agree on.

Absolutely!

How inspiring.

Easy MICKI

Your bitterness is showing.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 06:48 PM

If I were looking to vote for a republican...

...I'd cast my vote for Bob Barr.

The man is an absolute fruitloop and a hypocrite, but put Barr and MCain in a debate and McCain gets his ass handed to him by a man who's only half crazy.

If you want to easily put a democrat in the Whitehouse, contribute to Bob Barr.

Shit, I woke up too early.

Saturday, April 19, 2008 09:26 AM

Seriously...

...whether your a supporter of Clinton or Obama, is there anyone out there that seriously believes Clinton will actually get the nomination?

Stumble? He doesn't even need to walk at this point.

Original article: The "bitter" vote

I'm bitter...

...that my spineless, pussy Dem congress refuses to do anything at all.

Oh yeah, they yell at baseball players. Sorry.

Original article: Campaign roundup

WES!

I wonder, if we get all freaky mad at each other, will this Benen guy delete us?

Here, I'll start;

Your a brown-noser for Hillary and you don't know a caucus from a primary.

Your turn.

How bad cound Olbermann be?

When he fucks up, he gives himself "Worst Person in the World". Would anyone else on TV or radio do that? Nope.

Keep it up Keith.

Morning WES!

Been deleted lately?

All that integrity...

...for only $169,300.00 a year!

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 08:39 AM

I wonder if those same people

would allow a black man or woman to cure their cancer or save their child from a burning building?

I thought so. Hypocrites.

wysiwyg

These are the voters most easily distracted or frightened into voting against their own interests and who really don't know the issues. These are the people who voted for George W. Bush because they thought Al Gore is a dishonest man who thinks he's better than them and that "W" is a great guy they'd like to have a beer with.

These are the people who rely on the Main Stream Media for their news.

I'm a registered Independent. You have no clue as to what your talking about and you couldn't be more off the mark. Don't dump embarrassed repubs in with us. Next time someone tells you they're an Independent, ask to see their voter card.

Philadelphia Steve

Trent Lott is already back.

As we speak, he's stalking the halls of Congress as a lobbyist.
