I hope Biden asks the question. "What kind of fucking idiot thinks there should be no statute of limitations on such lawsuits?" might be a fitting response. I don't think she'd state it that way. Perhaps she could also ask him what he thinks the effects on businesses would be if such a statute were enacted, and how he believes that would affect their ability to return a profit? Perhaps she could also comment on his unfamiliarity with the case and give him the opportunity to condemn Ms. Ledbetter's lawyer for doing her a disservice by suing under the wrong statute. What did that bitch get her PhD in? Palm reading? Conservatives don't care what color anyone is - or sex. That's why we oppose racial discrimination under the guise of affirmative action (or outside of its guise). We relish asking liberals why they support racial discrimination and calling them cowards for refusing to state what they support when they refuse to answer.

And how was being Governor of Arkansas for preparing EJC to lead the country as President? Was he ill prepared? Note that's PRESIDENT and not VP. And foreign policy isn't the only area in which a President or VP need focus. Ahhh...I do remember the rhetoric about GWB and ALGORE. And I don't regret my vote one bit. Perhaps the fact that GWB doesn't vote in the Senate is eluding all leftists. How ARE you coming by that 90-95% #? And if you've a methodology, why not enlighten us as to how Obama's votes line up with John McCain's? Lower taxes? From a Democrat administration? Bwaaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! For corporations OR people that actually pay taxes? Bwaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I read a couple of weeks ago her approval rating up in AK is about 80%. Damn, but does she tick of lefty's! I like it!

The Vice President may very well have to do the President's job - especially in JSM's case. Running the Subcommittee on European Affairs doesn't really equate to being governor of a state from either a managerial or a power perspective and you know that quite well. Comparing Palin's experience with Obama's is such a nice thing for the Republicans to do. Governor versus Senator...oh what a nice thought. After all, as JCD says, Senators can't accomplish anything, right? Bwaaaaahahahahaaaaaaa! That's absurd. Never mind that. The positions are quite different and the skill sets needed to do both are different, but very complementary and there is a lot of overlap. From an experience perspective, the Republicans have the experience in the Presidential position. The Dem's have their experience in the #2 position. Change does happen because people make it happen. What change will Obama/Biden bring to the country? Hmm...socialized health care? That'll solve the deficit issue! Higher taxes? Hot DAMN will that entice corporations to base themselves here in the US! Cut discretionary spending? Not a chance in Hell! Cut entitlement spending? Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa ! Hahahahaha Hahahahahaaaaaa! hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!! No chance. Make it easier for workers to unionize? Absolutely! How 'bout making foreign labor more enticing? That'll bring some jobs back! I could go on... McCain brings an absolute hatred of earmarks and government waste to the table that hasn't been seen in years in the Presidency. Dick Morris put together a nice list of things McCain has broken with the GWB White House on: - McCain fought for campaign finance reform — McCain-Feingold — that Bush resisted and ultimately signed because he had no choice. - McCain led the battle to restrict interrogation techniques of terror suspects and to ban torture. - McCain went with Joe Lieberman on a tough measure to curb climate change, something Bush denies is going on. - McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts when they passed. - McCain urged the Iraq surge, a posture Bush rejected for years before conceding its wisdom. - McCain favors FDA regulation of tobacco and sponsored legislation to that effect, a position all but a handful of Republican senators oppose. - McCain's energy bill, also with Lieberman, is a virtual blueprint for energy independence and development of alternate sources. - After the Enron scandal, McCain introduced sweeping reforms in corporate governance and legislation to guarantee pensions and prohibit golden parachutes for executives. Bush opposed McCain's changes and the watered-down Sarbanes-Oxley bill eventuated. - McCain has been harshly critical of earmarks for years - unlike his opponents and GWB until recently. The next 'McSame' posting fellow might address the above - I won't hold my breath. Since many Senate votes are unanimous, it would be interesting to see how often Sen. Obama has voted with his opponent by the standard he set.

Not at all, in fact. Though I'm sure the differentiation between President and Vice President will be lost on many pulling the lever for Senator Obama. Sen Obama's campaign didn't stop the 'Change You Can Believe In' mantra when the consummate Washington insider was chosen for the VP spot on the Dem ticket, did they?

Is that an admission on your part that Senator Obama is incompetent to be president, given his experience level?

He doesn't even lose the ability to denigrate Obama's experience. Palin is is VP nominee. Obama is running for the top job. And with a compare and contrast of Sen. Obama's experience to that of Governor Palin, she comes out on top by far for accomplishment (though JCD will tell you Senators can't accomplish anything; balderdash) and its quality. She's also big on 2nd Ammendment rights - another boost for JSM with the conservative base.

Mother, father...details details. I'm busy prepping for movers. She's awesome.

I kind of predicted this. Sarah Palin is the father of five, the youngest - Trig - born in April with Down's Syndrome. One of her other sons is enlisted in the Army. He's an NRA member, tough on corruption in Alaska since becoming governor, an avid runner and a huge supporter of the outdoors. She views oil from a sensible perspective. To boot, she's been on the cover of Vogue magazine. Her husband races snow mobiles - cool stuff. A GREAT choice for VP.

Voting against someone equates to voting for their opponent with the greatest probability of victory. Deal with it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Nope. Quite correct. Still dodging I see... Bwaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaa!!!! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm voting against Sen. Obama. Here are a few things I dislike about Sen. McCain: - his McCain/Feingold legislation. I disagree with it on 1st amendment principles. Still, it's an accomplishment of his. I disagree with it nonetheless. - He's not aggressively addressing education, discretionary spending, and entitlement spending. At least not enough for me. - I don't like his immigration stance. I don't like Sen. Obama's either. - His statements on Georgia are right on in some regards - completely off in others - I don't agree with his tax plan at all. I detest Sen. Obama's utterly. Now - a few things I LIKE about the man I'm voting AGAINST. With regards to Senator Obama: - he's a superb speaker - he has run an outstanding political campaign to date - he made something of himself - he has NOT been a race pimp and made use of his race like a racially prejudiced bigot such as Jack$on, $harpton, or FahraKKKhan would have wnted him to do. Kudos to him for that. I can think of many other things for both.

Don't tell JCD! Shhhhhh!!! Bwaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa!!! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I read well and wrote exactly what you're inferring as part of your refusal to face facts. Again - face them whenever you like. Here's another accomplishment of an individual in Congress - which you'll of course deny, being unable to face facts. Henry Clay and his Great Compromise! Aha! Yet another one! ANd you still won't face it, no doubt! Bwaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa! Try reading the constitution, your own posts, and learning a bit. Never hurts. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Bwaaaaaaahahahahaaaaaaa! Now an individual has to become the entire Congress in order to accomplish anything in the JCD book vice accomplish things as they are able under the Constitution as written? if your defense mechanism has been more obvious, I can't recall it. Let us know when you're ready to face facts. In the mean time, practice my songs I wrote for you! Given enough practice and if you hve musical talent, you might be able to overcome Sir Kallend's anti-short-composer prejudice and get him to throw a couple of dimes in your hat! Though reading the Constitution and following politics a bit more closely WOULD be a bit more fruitful endeavor...then again, if you haven't got it by now... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Why, Sir Kallend, whenever did I state support of Senator Stevens' foray into nowhere? I'm a damned good songwriter! My mommy told me so! Here - I'll write another diddy... ''Gilligan's Island" turned into "Kallend's Physics Island" Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip! That started from Chicagoland and was all about physics Billvon was a mighty physics man Kallend the professor TheAnvil came to geek with them for a three hour tour! Kallend started getting rough TheAnvil was not lost Then Billvon started talking about frame dragging and Kallend's beer turned to frost! The three decided to drink some booze at the closest bar in town with tequilaaaaa and some scotch tooo Glenmorangie and some cognac! A chaser! A cab home - no DUIs! Up at Kallend's Physics Isle!" A sexy songwriter am I, me hardees...aaahhhrrgh!

TK - I own Florida and TN property. Based on my experience in those two states, wait for the Sheriffs to do their job. In FL, once the sheriffs physically remove the bastard from the house, you have to take EVERYTHING in the house and put it on the curb. Everything the dirtbag owns. Pain in the arse. FL law is pretty specific about that and CO is likely the same way. If you fuck with the tenants and don't let the sheriffs do their job, you can really put yourself at risk. Cheers - and I miss all you Zhills people! Vinny

Bah! It's their convention - let them have it. Senator Kennedy probably won't live to see the next one, so even though I don't like the man for what he's done and certainly disagree with his politics, it's nice he made it there to speak I suppose. Now, the fact that the Dems will keep him in their party leadership after that, his Spanish incident, and etc and then have the audacity to claim ANYONE unfit for office for far lesser things is quite funny in the abstract. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Ooooh so now it's not just the leadership and organization to get a bill through, it's got to be done individually in your book to count as an accomplishment, eh? BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! Your psychological defense mechanism is at work in full force, I see. Read the Constitution and THIS time do it slowly so you understand a bit more. A better idea - in addition to reading the Constitution again (if you ever read it). Why don't you learn a bit about how Congress works and get back to us. Here - let's go on another route, and do try and keep up. Your good friend El Jefe Clintonista's compatriot - Senator Robert Byrd. He's known as the King of Pork because of his ability to get pork for WV into bills and signed into law. Whooooohooooo! Did he accomplish nothing? Those of us who don't have a mechanism preventing us from looking at facts know that the Senator HAS accomplished quite a bit in that realm! Yes, yes, it's not really a good thing, but an accomplishment it nonetheless is. Senator Byrd is not alone in achieving such a feat. Let's see if I can come up with another diddy to Old McDonald...that way you can sing about both Bubba Clinton's Surplus AND Senator Byrd's accomplishments to the same tune! Ahem...ahem... "Senator Byrd, got some earmarks.... Yes he surely did! He got them for West Virginia Oh yes he really did! With a highway here and a new bridge there Here a bridge there a building Everywhere some earmark $$ Senator Byrd got some earmarks! What an ACCOMPLISHMENT!!" I should be a songwriter or something. I'm so damned sexy! Bwaaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska or Ms. Fiorina, his advisor.

Bwaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Groups, eh? McCain-Feingold and whom else for that bill, exactly? Whom else for Taft-Hartley? Wagner perchance? You claim that congressmen can accomplish nothing by themselves and that Congress as a group accomplishes things - you've stated this several times in the past. I've clearly shown you incorrect and just thrown a nice monkey wrench into your psychological defense mechanism you've devised to deal with an issue. Given your VERY limited knowledge of how gov't works, I shouldn't find this surprising, but one would hope you'd at least face facts sometime. Keep running from the facts as LOOOONG as you like. We're all laughing still! Bwaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

incorrect yet again! My, but aren't you adept at avoiding facts? The fact that congressmen and women can and do accomplish things just has you all in a tither! Bwaaaaahahahahaaaaa! I've given you several examples already of INDIVIDUALs who have accomplished quite a bit within the bounds of their congressional offices. Face facts - you're wrong. Your defensive mechanism just doesn't stand up to even modest scrutiny. The next time you read the Constitution, go a bit slower - you'll pick up more. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Again you avoid facts. When ARE you going to face them? Fact: Senators and Representatives can and do accomplish many things individually. I've given you MANY examples of fine statesmen who have accomplished quite a bit. When you've faced up to those and would like more, come see me. Deal with it. And please DO read the Constitution...superb reading. You might learn a thing or two if you apply yourself. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think they're a bunch of scumbag hypocrites too - many of them at any rate; there are quite a few good people who vote democrat - but still don't give a rat's ass. If they want to run their party that way - by all means, let them do so. Point it out later when they're accusing someone else of hypocrisy. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Bwaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!! Fact avoidance CONTINUES on your part. Now you've migrated from insisting on examples of legislators accomplishing something within the bounds of the Constitution (superb reading by the way) to going outside of its bounds! No I don't, having read the Constitution (perhaps you should) - but I do believe Wagner accomplished a great bit in getting the legislation through. Just as McCain and Feingold did (INDIVIDUALLY as well as part of a team, I might add) and many other legislators who have accomplished such a feat. Perhaps you should read the Constitution so you understand a bit about how legislation is passed. This nonsense about Wagner going solo...tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk...not that operating within the bounds of the Constitution as written demeans his accomplishment in any way. But that's one of those pesky facts you aren't going to face today, isn't it? Perhaps you should examine the team concept as well. If you did so thoroughly and applied yoruself, you'll find virtually every team has standouts whose individual accomplishments contribute heavily to team success. Since you're on the team paradigm. Quite interesting to think about. Bwaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
