What running mate could make you switch sides?

So I guess you're fixing that pot hole on your street? You're giving from your larder to the person across the street who can't afford food?

Dooley, therein lies the difference in political philosophies.

I believe the government that is closest to the people is the most accountable. My pothole gets taken care of by the street department of my municipality. Family assistance at the local or state level better assesses needs than a bureaucratic elephant in Washington.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Where would you rather be starving, Maryland or Mississippi? And I don't think I'd trust either state to have the resources to be sure food doesn't come into the state tainted.

Hence the need for a strong federal government, which no doubt could use some degree of trimming and retooling.

I disagree. A state can handle those issues.

The longer the trail to the money, the more hands in the pockets.

I would trust my local police to handle a disaster than FEMA. And if those FEMA funds were reallocated to the states, I definitely think they'd do it better.

None can. No way in hell would my leftist self vote for someone as anti-female as John McCain.

Thank goodness his string of hooker killings ended well in advance of the national campaign. What a load of rubbish.

Calling your wife a c*unt in public, voting against forcing insurance companies that cover Viagra to also cover birth control, actions speak loudly, whether you want to listen or not.

Is that the first wife or the second wife, SC?

The second one. The one who bankrolled his career in public office and made his run for president possible.

Yeah, cos we all know no one has any hands in any till in Louisiana. :

 

[ScribePharisee]

Still doesn't mean the feds can do it any better. By the way, I know where you can get a hell of a deal on poisoned FEMA house trailers.

And there's no way in hell that your local public servants have their fat fingers in any pies, right?

The Republican Party needs to pack up shop and take its broken ideas to the local, most formative grassroots level, and see if they actually work there. To try, try again. Because these are simply not functional on the federal level.

Still, your initial argument about a purer local level is a non-starter.

And Russia is a failed experiment.

Local public servants can have their fingers in pies. But the system can get them quicker than we can get through to our senator's office.

I really don't see how anyone could consider electing a Republican following the national tragedy of the last eight years. Yet there are many of you still out there. Why?

Because we're not voting to re-elect Bush. If we were, I would be voting for Obama.

So you're actually in favor of having Phil Gramm as Treasury secretary after the way he ****ed up the banking regulations? That's what you would get with a McCain presidency.

HUGE bullish surge on Intrade on Bayh, today . . . he's now the pronounced Dem VP favorite.

Of course, Fatman's pet, Flipper, remains the solid favorite on the GOP side.

Bayh would be a great choice for Obama.

I guess the Biden bus is parked now that Obama has visited Europe and thinks he has that international relations thing down pat.

I think Biden is great, but I think Obama knows that his past could come back to haunt him. He also could be a liability if he shoots his mouth off on the campaign trail.

Bayh is a good, safe choice and he'll pay huge dividends if he delivers Indiana.

Russia was moseying along quite nicely for a while there. It had a good run as a superpower. This empire in retreat could stand to learn a lot from Russia's demise.

We need to stop making such people senators. It really is that simple.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Bayh is a straight-down-the-middle family-legacy career politician who's about as exciting as oatmeal.

Which leaves me disappointed that BO might pick him, especially given his
sketchy foreign policy record.

But I can well-understand WHY BO might pick him.

We'll see.
