    That’s a bingo but not an easy road.

    I see that July was the warmest month ever in the lower 48 since records have been kept.

    I now understand why Rethugs want voter ID laws. The National Republican Lawyers Assoc. has discovered a grand total 340 cases of fraud in the U.S. in the past 10 years. That’s about .7 cases per state per year. And the largest portion of those cases involve absentee ballots, which Rethugs have made no effort whatsoever to do anything about. Almost no cases involve a fake person showing up at the polls.

    After reading the local news for the past couple weeks, perhaps Salem should be lobbying for a “Meth-fil-a” on main street.

    2 Meth labs in two weeks, and a suspicious deadly house explosion this morning? (you know it was a meth lab….making it three…)

    I just read an article about the ghost of women past from Pelosi…
    Does this dispel any liberal belief that there is no “afterlife”?

    Can’t make this stuff up…

    The biggest crime and cover-up in United States history?

    Was the attack on 9/11 an inside job in order to galvanize public opinion so we could invade the Middle East and control their oil and politics?
    Give this video a few minutes of your attention…

    About 90 days to get a voter I.D.

    If someone cannot get one within these 90 days, they are too stupid to vote!

    gdad ignores ACORN, Minnesota and a slew of voter fraud …. by dimocrats!

    ps ~ Stephanie Cutter & Jay Carney are LIARS!! Joe Soptic does not honor his dead wife. Vince Foster would have voted for Romney!

    A source tells me Vince Foster was killed by Harry Reid!

    Obama was not taken out of context no matter how much you libs huff and puff! Stone Cold Busted! GUILTY: Reading without teleprompter!

  8. Dan Casey | August 9, 2012 at 11:03 pm

    Would someone get Bob his meds?

  9. gdad | August 9, 2012 at 11:51 pm

    #6 Gosh, Bobby, I’m not ignoring those alleged fraud incidents, it’s the National Repub Lawyers “ignoring” them.

    And you DO remember that there’s no evidence that any of the ACORN bad registrations ever got to the voting stage, don’t you? Oh, you forgot that? Well, you do remember, don’t you, that Pennsylvania Repubs were forced to admit in court that they don’t know of any actual incidents of fake voters showing up at the polls to vote in the past, nor did they have any evidence of any plots for that to happen in 2012, don’t you? Oh, you forgot that one, too?

    Well, surely you’re aware that one of the worst problems with voter fraud — maybe THE worst — is with absentee ballots, and that absentee votes are more likely to go to Repubs, and that Repubs across the nation have done exactly zero to clamp down more on absentee voter fraud? Wow, you weren’t aware of that? Well now you can start demanding that Repubs do something about absentee voter fraud. I’m sure you’ll be out there working on the problem.

    Fox “News” President Obama up by nine.
    Time for a dark horse?

  11. Mattyr | August 10, 2012 at 4:41 am

    As long as gdad gets his meds too

  12. Ron May | August 10, 2012 at 5:51 am

    Reading without teleprompter!

    Comment by Bob — August 9, 2012 @ 10:18 pm

    A teleprompter would likely be helpful to you Bob. For a variety of reasons.

  13. Bill Perdue | August 10, 2012 at 7:13 am

    Ronald Reagan would have voted for Obama

  14. Suzie | August 10, 2012 at 9:13 am

    The biggest crime and cover-up in United States history?

    Notice no comment from the left on Dave Gresham’s nutty link. And these are the people who ridicule ‘birthers’.

  15. Suzie | August 10, 2012 at 9:16 am

    The United States has more Olympic medals and more golds than China. China is a country with four times our population and total government sponsorship their Olympic program, whereas our Olympic program is privately sponsored.

    Just another example of the INFERIORITY of big-government.

  16. pammala | August 10, 2012 at 10:25 am

    soptic is an idiot and bringing his deceased wife into a political arena is about as low class as you can get. If Romney is guilty then obama is directly guilty for the f&f deaths

  17. pammala | August 10, 2012 at 10:26 am

    just because you are on meds daniella, doesnt mean everyone is ya know…go take your own meds dear, you’re getting ridiculous.

  18. Bob | August 10, 2012 at 11:33 am

    Meds? Going out for a Peach Shake from Chick-fil-A, then downtown to take a picture of Fire Station #1. “The End Started Here”.

    All kidding aside, That Stephanie Culter sure lies good! What a repulsive add by the Obama supporters.

    Are you listening to Rush at the beach?

    Call me butter, I’m on a roll baby!!

  19. dave | August 10, 2012 at 1:54 pm

    Dan@7

    Sorry, there’s no easy fix for rabies.

  20. Suzie | August 10, 2012 at 3:15 pm

    President 0bama up by nine

    That’s odd. Rasmussen has Mitt up by four. Which means he’s up by 11.

    I know you clowns would like lying dirty tricks to work, but you can’t fool people into thinking they have jobs.

  21. Suzie | August 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm

    I see that July was the warmest month ever in the lower 48 since records have been kept.

    Right. And July, 2009 was the cold on record in the east. And I’ll bet next year will be the most average July ever.

  22. gdad | August 10, 2012 at 5:23 pm

    #11 Gosh, mattyr wants me to take meds for telling the truth? I AM, however, taking Naproxen right now, mattyr.

    Notice how all the wingnuts can do is insult me? Can’t refute a single thing I said on this thread.

  23. gdad | August 10, 2012 at 5:29 pm

    #14 I’ve ridiculed truthers many times in the past, but we don’t get too many of them on this blog. We seem to get TONS of birthers, though.

    Dave, buddy, tinfoil time.

  24. Bob | August 10, 2012 at 6:50 pm

    There is an easy fix to vote. SHOW A FRIGGIN I.D.

  25. Contrasuzie | August 10, 2012 at 9:37 pm

    Who is daniella?

  26. Dave Gresham | August 11, 2012 at 2:01 am

    @23. gdad. Actually, you ridiculed yourself with the childish insult instead of addressing the issue. (I figured you for more class than the other insulting person.)

    World Trade Center building #7 was intentionally imploded. This is a fact. It happened just hours after World Trade Center buildings #1 and #2 collapsed (also in their own footprints, and also near freefall speed). Questions upon questions are unanswered.

    Mainstream media has taught people like you to ridicule people like me because those “news” outlets are also the public relations arm of our billionaire corporate masters. In short, the major stockholders of those media giants are the same wealthy people who own the military industrial complex. That ownership allows them to set the media company’s Boards of Directors, who in turn select what news we hear, and how it’s presented. Do you think it’s slanted to increase their wealth and power?

    Add to the problem, our elected officials also do their master’s bidding, or they do not get the donations they need to get re-elected. In fact, all Western democratic leaders (at the national level) are primarily spokesmodels for the interests of world’s financial elite… who wanted to run the business and politics of the Middle East…. and now they do.

    Here’s that link once more, on the outside chance you’ll actually watch it and then have to admit that our government is lying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZEvA8BCoBw
