Ya know, after the last horrible 3 1/2years I do believe I feel a wind...a soft breeze...like the chinook in March....of change.
A friend of 40 years who has been a stalwart Republican all those years said the other day, with a look that would stop a charging rhino, "Anybody but Bush!"
A friend had a co-worker stop her in the hallway yesterday and say,"He knew! He knew!"
He had just seen the video of Bush sitting in the classroom after being told America was under attack.
Liberal radio talk shows are building audiences at a fast rate and lawmakers are going to make sure a balanced radio programming schedule is sent to our armed forces overseas (it's about time, we ALL pay for it!).
Where I work, outside of work, why, right here in a Vendio chatroom which seems to moving left, and other areas of my life these little signs abound.... people coming to their sense and seeing the mess around us.
So the neocons can rale and scream and cut and paste but the winds of change still grow stronger.
I just want to add that some of you posting in here are very good, persuasive writers. Please use that talent in emails to your congressmen and representatives...it does help. You could call these emails "the wind beneath their butts".....kinda lifting them into action in place of a good boot!
Let's have a nice hurricane this fall and clean things up.
Thank you!

The wind you feel is the breeze blowing from one side of your head through to the other.
Not a dam thing to stop the free flow.

LOL, bear.
I was just going to point out that there are dems doing the same thing....saying they won't vote for kerry because he's too liberal, don't support his policies. So it's happening on both sides.
I'm just not sure which of kerry's policies they don't support....because he only speaks in generalizations....rather than specifics of what he's going to do.
He'll be pinned down at some point on all the issues.

Insults and empty posts from the Right.
More LOL's and smiley faces from linda who thinks typing an LOL is good for the soul.....except she doesn't know the difference between typed LOL's all alone at your computer.. and REAL laughter with other people.....so sad.

What are you smoking crowfarm. Must be the weed in my nephews yard. Show me where everyone is moving to the left. Maybe to change positions in the chair but not at this house they aren't. Do you use the same language at work as you do here? It is best keeping politics out of work because you never know what will happen......
Let's see Kiara, KD, Helen, Reamond, Fenix, logansdad. Anyone I missed? seem to be the same old posters that agree with each other. I see no new faces in here. Opps I forgot Maggie or what ever ID she uses.

"He knew! He knew!"
Bull-Pooie!
"Liberal radio talk shows are building audiences at a fast rate "
Maybe yes, maybe no- I dunno about the ratings. But how long can they continue to BUY the airtime for these shows that no one is ever going to pay them for? You *DO* realize that Air America is PAYING to be on the air? Just like a late-night weight-loss drug infomercial that nobody wants to watch.
"Anybody but Bush!"
And that is the ONE THING the Mr. No-Specific-Policies-On-Anything-Kerry has going for him. Once again, I'll say I'm not a big Bush fan, but STILL Kerry is not showing me anything... WHAT DOES HE ACTUALLY SUPPORT?
Does he plan to go all the way until the election without actually floating an issue or opinion? Who *IS* this guy?

crowfarm is borillar
The winds of change? "He Knew! He Knew!"
?? what? what does that mean?
Kerry. If I were a democrat, and I have voted that way before, I'll tell ya, to me, my own personal view is, he scares me. You think Bush is bad, I just don't trust this Kerry. I believe what has been started, should be finished by the one person that can; Bush.
outta here again, gonna get smacked upside the head now

Sorry Kraft I didn't mean old in a sense of age I meant posters that were in here a long time. I will have to watch my wording in the future.

First bear's SO intelligent reply..."The wind you feel is the breeze blowing from one side of your head through to the other.

Then he says,"Insults and empty postsTrade marks of the Vendio libs Preceeded by screaming tantrums & stomping their little feet"
First he insults me over a post where I insulted no one....then he says insults are the trade marks of Libs!
Typical right-wing neocon "logic".
What a buffon...time for him to drag his knuckles back into the cave!

Funny how you chastise Liberal radio. They are working their butts off to succeed, while the right winged conservatives get paid for their shows. Do you seriously think Rush, O'Reilly, Lars Larson, G. Gordon Liddy, etc. would be on the radio of they weren't getting paid big bucks? Hell no. They would be lined up at Halliburton getting executive jobs. Many talk show hosts on Liberal Radio make very little money if any. Some make more than others. They do it because they believe in Democracy. Ironically, someone is paying for advertising space on Air America. I keep hearing Wal Mart ads for one... Perhaps Wal Mart is shifting to the left. LOL!

The problem with Liberal talk radio is the subject matter. Franken isn't that funny. He isn't that smart. It's BORING!
And most liberal points of veiw are very hard to discuss intelligently or logically.
"They are working their butts off to succeed,"
Yeah, in the hopes of getting paid big bucks if the show eventually takes off, just like anyone else starting something new. None of those hists you mentioned started their careers making big money.
"Perhaps Wal Mart is shifting to the left."
Of course they are. They've always been anti-competition, low wage paying, and one of the biggest supporters of unemployment in the country. After a Walmart-moves in, all the little shops dry up and add to unemployment...

Did ya hear about this Borillar, I mean Crowfarm, er a Corrine;
Too bad we can't strike heated comments that are filled with lies here.
House strikes heated comments from record
Lawmaker said 2000 vote stolen
Friday, July 16, 2004 Posted: 8:59 AM EDT (1259 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Think the passions from the 2000 presidential election have cooled? Certainly not in the House of Representatives, which voted to strike a Florida representative's words from the record after she said Republicans "stole" that closely fought contest.
The verbal battle broke out after Rep. Steve Buyer, an Indiana Republican, proposed a measure barring any federal official from requesting that the United Nations formally observe the U.S. elections on November 2. His proposal was approved 243-161 Thursday as an amendment to a $19.4 billion foreign aid bill, with 33 Democrats joining all 210 voting Republicans in voting "yes."
Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida and several other House Democrats have made that suggestion. They argue that some black voters were disenfranchised in 2000 and problems could occur again this fall.
"We welcome America to observe the integrity of our electoral process and we do not ask, though, for the United Nations to come as monitors at our polling stations," Buyer said.
"I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure it doesn't happen again," Brown said. "Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said, 'Get over it.' No, we're not going to get over it. And we want verification from the world."
At that point, Buyer demanded that Brown's words be "taken down," or removed from the debate's permanent record.
The House's presiding officer, Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas, ruled that Brown's words violated a House rule.
"Members should not accuse other members of committing a crime such as, quote, stealing, end quote, an election," Thornberry said.
When Brown objected to his ruling, the Republican-run House voted 219-187 along party lines to strike her words.
It is interesting though that it seems that more house Democrats than just miss Brown beleive the words that she spoke. It's apparent in the above vote, 219-187 along party lines.
