      Congrats, Jazziz2 on being #1!
      “Dems” are not only “buying votes with free stuff,” but they are busy charming and indoctrinating babies and children! Case in point: when have we ever seen a “blue blood” President of the United States, with his wife, going around giving out treats to children on halloween? These pics you posted by NW are proof positive of the plot by that illegitimate, Kenyan, usurper, obumer, to destroy America. Here is a man who, according to our corporate, respectable, media, is an an aloof, arrogant, elitist. Yet he obviously gets along with children of all ages who, unlike the right wing adults, are not afraid of him and don’t sense that he is such an evil person on a mission to destroy the United States.

    President Obama has spoiled the American people by being such a perfect President! Congrats Jeb on #1!

Where’s my buddy loud talking Bern at? He’s always good for a few negative, I mean informative sound bites…

    The Republicans are right. We in the media do suck.

    At first it seemed risky when Trump attacked conservative darling and Fox News host Megyn Kelly for asking tough questions during the first debate. But his attacks paid off, earning him several news cycles’ worth of free advertising.

    Accordingly, by Wednesday, the candidates had all learned to dodge difficult questions by accusing the moderators of bias. Usually, the charge was that they were too liberal. (Yes, CNBC, the channel that launched the tea party and employs the United States’ most famous supply-sider, is apparently a commie paradise.) Or they accused the media of not asking substantive questions, right in the middle of ducking substantive questions.

    In the end, the biggest applause lines were all media insults. They came from Rubio, Ted Cruz and Christie.

    Guess whom CNBC then crowned the winners of the debate? Rubio, Cruz and Christie.

    Well done, gents. We’ve trained you well.

      Howard Fineman here - I’m late to the party because I jsut can’t tear myself away from my autographed picture of Marco Rubio. What a man! Slick as glass! He really came out of that debate looking good, Of course all the candidates seemed to wake up and realize they had to say stuff. And what stuff it was! They realized they had to come up with REAL plans and they certainly hit the mark! I guess we really do have a function two party system! The democrats are going to have a run for their money. But that Rubio! Great hair and cute ears too!

      This was well written, AMK, and a refreshingly honest view of media sycophancy toward Republicans. You can bet that Democrats would be hounded for anything that even gives the suspicion of a lie.

    Now see here: Just because my handlers decided to try and undermine The Pope, now I think I am totally forgotten, because why?? People love to just get on with one hot story after another! Well, I just don’t deserve this crap, I am a real person, a real woman, have had lots of husbands, and somehow this WP has the nerve to dump my comment on the last thread, which was a really good and great comment, and I made it myself, nobody put words into my mouth, oh no. And you know what else? I don’t even like Halloween, and it is NOT my favorite holiday, because I am Christian beyond the greatest measure of a Christian, and that’s because Jesus loves me, only me. Not any of the stinking poor, not those homies, who do they think they are anyway, human beings, or what?? You know how I know, because Jesus talks to me, every single day, and he told me what the bible says, and we are besties. Now, maybe I will be back later, and maybe I won’t, so y’all try real hard to get along without my shining presence. Okay? Humphffff. - KimDaDoDo

        What a dumb question: why, I will give them all a bible, and I will have signed my name in each one, and they will always remember KimboDavis-O, not like the rest of you people.

    We Emoprogs have always known this - you can’t blink when watching this President;

    listening to the radio, I am reminded that once again PBO has sold out his base by agreeing to the compromise budget deal and lifting the debt ceiling;

    furthermore, the budget deal will cause total bankruptcy of Medicare (ignore the fact that AARP and liberal senators have endorsed it);

    what will he do if we don’t vote but instead we stay home to punish him and send him a message??

    when the revolution starts, I have no doubt that the true pure candidate will never give in to these compromises;

    signed,

    As an outrage activist (thanks, hopefruit), I believe that that President Obama crossed the line when he laughed- actually laughed-at the image of the pope on that most sacred holiday of Halloween. Tell President Obama that laughing at the pope is not acceptable. Add you name to this important petition and demand the president treat all papal images with solemnity.

    • 77 hopefruit2
      October 30, 2025 at 10:20 pm

      As President I can only promise to do a whole lot better than Obama, and take the pope more seriously. I love these petitions - they are part of the revolution.

      Love,
      Brother Bernie.

      And if anyone wants inside info on what that so-called Pope really thinks, well, you just ask moi. Because he bared his soul to me in our private, secret, closed-to-the-preas, and highest security meeting - EVER.

Dumb, of course, so no back-talk. Like that other girl, Sally, Sandy- good looking, but dumb.

        Tough choice there, but you’re on the right track. Keep ’em personable but easy to manipulate…like my ex-boss! That worked out really well for me (winksnarl)!

        I’m a little hurt by that hunting trip snub, but that’s all right. I’ve got another round of Sunday talk shows to make because the media loves to ask me and my administration what to do about ISIS.
