Displaying 841 To 870 Of 7,446 Comments The Media Empire Strikes Back (with post-election memes)! I am getting ready to post a link in OT that tells people the radical right will never learn a lesson. Of course they think we have marked them for extinction…. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 3:42 pm CL I think you nailed it. Obama was re-elected because he is the right man for the job and people trust him. One thing it is hard to change that “old white man” mentality. Some may go to their graves with hate in their hearts. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:56 pm Indeed Adlib » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:53 pm I saved that for future use BFF. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:51 pm So did I Kalima. My husband did not disturb me this morning and I slept until 8:40. Of course that was with a few wake ups in the night. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:50 pm I cannot say the number of times I heard, “if I see another negative commercial” in this election. Well they apparently showed their disdain at the ballot box. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:49 pm Kalima My cousin posted this on FB The white establishment is now the minority Bill O’Rielly You should see the comments lol. The GOPTP has truly lost any understanding of what that lady in New York harbor says: The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, They have also let their disdain for foreign countries become a platform of their party. I guess they do not know that people from other countries actually see and hear what goes on in the U.S. because they are certainly not internationally cognizant. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:47 pm Adlib As you and I have discussed many times, we both turned off the media chatter, well as much as we could, over this election cycle. Some things filtered in but for the most part, they were a sham just like you say. I think Mike Murphy said it right last night even though he only touched on the bare minimum of what is wrong in his party: Republican Strategist and Time Magazine Columnist Mike Murphy analyzes the GOP’s performance in the 2012 election saying, “we have a Latino problem that just cost us a national election.” NOw they are blaming the candidate they all stood behind. Well of course it is his fault, especially when most on the Religious Right went against their own beliefs to stand behind a candidate they previously called a Cultist. Damn they truly do not get it. » Posted By SueInCa On November 7, 2012 @ 2:33 pm Election Day 2012 – Open Thread Today – Live Chat Tonight! Well since we are waiting…… Okay hypothetical…..If I co-signed a student loan for my son and he died before he could even get a job, should I be held responsible? I know what the banker in me thinks even though I do understand the grief. » Posted By SueInCa On November 6, 2012 @ 4:04 pm Sally your vote counts. Believe it. I also voted to legalize weed here in CA. I agree there are too many in the prison system because of it. But you know the privatized prisons would never want the law to change. » Posted By SueInCa On November 6, 2012 @ 4:02 pm Thnaks Adlib. You all here are so great. I don’t always thank you for all you do, but you can bet your ass I will be here tonight » Posted By SueInCa On November 6, 2012 @ 9:54 am An Open Letter to my Sons – November 5th, 2008 Funk I hear you. I cannot understand especially Evangelicals that have always called Mormons cultists going back on that claim. If the church was a cult a few years ago, it still is. There are many in Iowa who will not go against their beliefs and I congratulate them for staying true to their faith. If Romney wins, this country is gone down the Rabbit hole and will never recover. People just do not have the will to take charge. It is obvious with the number of people the Kochs have led around by the nose. » Posted By SueInCa On November 6, 2012 @ 3:33 pm Great letter Funk. I was one of the last ones on board for Obama and truth be told, I did not get on board until McShame played the female card by picking Sarah Palin. Upon hearing that and hearing her speak, I texted “Volunteer” to the Obama campaign and I have been as faithful to him as I would have been to Hillary. The outcome is still uncertain as I write this but I have to admit, I cannot support Mittnocchio if he indeed wins. I cannot support a liar and a cheat. I cannot support a draft and tax dodger. My only question is if people are truly patriots, how can they justify a vote for him? » Posted By SueInCa On November 6, 2012 @ 10:09 am If Romney Wins: A Look at the Impact Murph This is truly a sad situation. I still think Obama has enough of an electoral vote to win, the problem is we do not know how True the Vote and others are going to effect voters on election day. UN observers are being placed in some polling places I just hope it is enough. I saw Elijah Cummings on Ed last night and I was actually furious with him and the dems in congress for not working harder on this voter suppression and pusing harder on True the Vote for FOI documents. WTH they will probably still have jobs. It is also still hard to pinpoint which side might have the most apathetic voters too. There has also not been much info on the black vote this time around. I am just not sure overall how things will turn out but if R’s do win, who is going to start the Anti-Tea Party? And if such a group was formed how much would you bet that Law enforcement would dog their every move? » Posted By SueInCa On October 26, 2012 @ 2:29 pm LIVE CHAT TONIGHT! – 6:00 PM PST – The Final Obama-Romney Debate I know I don’t know what gives me the heebie jeebies the most, them or Mittnocchio » Posted By SueInCa On October 22, 2012 @ 5:23 pm Trouble is he has a whole army of people behind him that are clueless as well. Understanding how Mitt Romney changes like a chameleon, I don’t think anyone can really count on a steady person in the Oval office. The man never thinks he is wrong, that is a serious character flaw and dangerous for the country. It will be worse than Bush. » Posted By SueInCa On October 22, 2012 @ 4:02 pm UPDATED: Business Owners: Vote Romney or Else! Good job Murph. Educating the populace one person at a time is just as good as anything out there. You have fortitude and guts and I thank you for stepping up to the plate. » Posted By SueInCa On October 27, 2012 @ 11:26 am Murph Good luck to you tomorrow. I hope he sincerely means it when he says he will check your sources. You are doing the right thing. Will be cheering you on from California. » Posted By SueInCa On October 24, 2012 @ 2:12 pm Murph You are truly a man who walks the talk. I hope you have convinced him that he is being played. You would think people should know this, but the evidence in this country is to the contrary. I wish someone could put a finger on what makes people go against their own interests. It is puzzling to me. I can understand non-educated people but obviously this man knows how to run a successful business so he has to have some smarts. It is just weird. » Posted By SueInCa On October 24, 2012 @ 12:11 pm Good luck with that one, Murph. This guy is being hurt by the big guy but is still voting against his own best interests and telling employees what to do? Personally no employer could tell me who to vote for, as no church can either. But I understand there are people out there who truly believe he can somehow find out who they voted for. I just do not understand that mentality. Perhaps it is because of where I grew up and the politics in our home but I just do no understand how these people think. I know exactly how the Kochs and Waltons think. » Posted By SueInCa On October 22, 2012 @ 3:56 pm Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Romney’s Debate Bounce Hey bito Just wanted to say hi to you. Hope you are doing well. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 8:11 pm I know it was hard though. My first instinct was to go off but I thought about it and realized I would be doing what I call others out on, not having a spine. I sure hope you are right about people in this country, sometimes I wonder. I have read some articles in the Guardian in the past two weeks and it seems they have a better perspective than most Americans have on the direction of this country and they are certainly not afraid to call Mitt out for what he is: an empty suit. Did you hear his family is running things now? I found an article on FB last night saying Tagg and Ann were now at the helm? Big mistake. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 8:09 pm Who is moderating? Is it Crowley or Raddatz? Martha seems like a pretty on the ball lady, hopefully she will put a stop to the same crap that Mitt was allowed to go at unabated. If Ryan is chastised once, he will most likely slump, he does not seem like the type who can handle rebuke in any form. I have no love for Crowley at all. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 8:03 pm Biden really has nothing to prove. We know he can sit second chair and he has no problem doing so. He can go in there with guns blasting and take no prisoners. If Ryan comes across like he has in interviews, he is going to have a real uphill climb. Someone said getting Ryan to answer a direct question is like nailing jello to the wall. I saw a pic the other day about nailing water to a tree, same inference. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 7:18 pm You know Adlib that is one of the first things I thought when people started going off the rails. I kept quiet because I am one of the ones who says “get a spine” so for me to start criticizing him over one debate did not seem right. My friend got all out of shape over it and started panicing. I told her exactly what you said above and she calmed down a bit but she is still worried. IMHO if he were to lose the election over one silly debate, then people in the country need to take a real good look at themselves and see where they really stand. I would not blame him I would blame them for being so shallow. I just did not put it into a written document. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 6:58 pm All good points Auntie. I personally have no use for the evangelicals of the immoral majority but I guess I have made that clear from the writings I have posted here. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 4:13 pm Auntie That is a great comeback. I love it. They call me Mr. Tibs was another great movie. Would you believe I just saw To Sir With Love for the first time about a month ago? I remember my brother watching all his films but I never did. I am going to make it a point to catch up though. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 4:08 pm I fully expect Biden to get his sincere on tomorrow night and say something like this: “Listen folks, I have been at the President’s side countless times over the past four years and you are not going to get a more caring man who thinks about you in everything he does.” He will go on, but I expect he will give a re=run of parts of his convention speech for the people who were not there to hear the original » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 3:48 pm Adlib Mormons believe a lie is ok if you have a good reason. Everytime they have been confronted with outlandish rules of their church, they always tell a lie. If they don’t lie, the book of mormon produces a never before seen journal that changes things so they are in compliance with normal human activity. You cannot base a religion on a book of lies, well you can but then you should not wonder why people think you are a cult. In my opinion Evangelicals are betraying their own beliefs more than any other segment of the right. They insist it is a cult but they are voting for a cultist to become president. That defies explanation except to say they have so much hatein their hearts. WWJT? » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 3:14 pm Bingo AC, I said the same thing. And whoever said being an angry black man was a bad thing anyway? Oh yeah I get it, that means they are about to pull off a crime. Yet the angry white man is ok? Hell they even made a good movie about 12 Angry White men. » Posted By SueInCa On October 10, 2012 @ 3:06 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
with conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame,
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
