      Jovie you are a tough cookie if you can sit through Morning Jackal and come out the other side spirits in tact.

            Sue, have a coke and a smile, or join me in a Bloody Mary! :-) I feel you though. This is the game of the right , to wear us down. We’re no ways tired girlfriend. Keep your chin up, and rest if you must, but the media will not defeat us. WE did it in 2008, we’ll do it again in 2011-2012!

      I really appreciate folks like Jovie, because I choose not to watch Morning Joke.

        Jovie can I ask you a question, what is the purpose of Mika being on the show? Because the times when I would check the show out all she did was sit there like she was some beauty queen, she hardly open her mouth. Have things change?

          She is arm candy and a bobble head. If she has her own brain, she doesn’t seem to want to engage it.

          Republicans hold beauty queens in the highest of esteem :shock:

    That was a very good display of message discipline. Nicely done Axe.

      Ladyhawke it’s about substance, facts, and reality of the things PBO is trying to do for the good of our country
      remember the MSM do not like facts they are all about a lot’s of misleading information and garbage.

    The Grassroots Obama Campaign Fundraising Challenge
    Top prizes for the Grassroots Fundraising Challenge will go to the two people who receive the greatest number of donations and the two people who raise the most money between September 1st and September 30th, 2011.
    President Obama will make a personal phone call for the two first-place winners. Vice President Biden will make a call for the two second-place winners.

    TOD’Family as of today I am # 1 in total donations and #3 in dollars raised.

    http://www.barackobama.com/grassroots-fundraising/challenge-leaderboard?source=20110909_RG_3&utm_medium=email&utm_source=obama&utm_campaign=20110909_RG_3

    It would be utterly awesome to get to speak with the President or Vice President. I am contacting everyone I know to get them to make a $5.00 donation to the Obama Reelection campaign via my fundraising page. Some of you have already helped me with donations with this challenge and I am very grateful to each of you for your generosity. If anyone else here could manage a $5.00 donations to keep me a top of the leader board it would be greatly appreciated.

    It’s been pointed out that these GOP debates are targeting the tea party. They are more like fund raisers, but totally ignore the broad spectrum national audience. In so doing they paint themselves into an extremist corner and turn the GOP brand into a smelly carcass of hate. By presiding over such a mess CNN has indelibly besmirched their brand in their attempt to ingratiate themselves to a small minority of the most hateful and ignorant wing of American politics, the 20% we know as the teabaggers. The GOP is now becoming not only the party of hate, but also the party of death, death to the uninsured, death to Soc. Sec. and Medicare, and death to the poor.

    Donna I donated, good luck. I lurk here, but as a small business owner (pharmacy) I support the president’s initiatives, as I am an upper income middle class member. The level of selfishness exhibited by this segment of our society is appalling. I agree, they(Romney, et al) are politically
    painting themselves into a box. BTW, I supported Romney till he dropped out in 2008, and came on board to OFA. The president used dignity and compromise to get things done. He does not want to alienate segments of our America. But now is the time to stand for our erroding middle class, and we will have his back.
