Petraeus for President?

[cigdaze]

Hmmm. Why not? He'd have my support.

Interesting article. From the the U.K.

Americans have never been so disgusted with their politicians. More than three-quarters of Americans disapprove of Congress. President Barack Obama's favourability ratings have slumped to below 50 per cent and he is no longer trusted or believed by many who voted for him.

Republicans are faring little better and the growth of the Tea Party movement reflects the widespread disgust with Washington and the political class. Incumbents across the board are vulnerable in November's mid-term elections.

Many voters yearn for an outsider, someone with authenticity, integrity and proven accomplishment. Someone who has not spent their life plotting how to ascend the greasy pole, adjusting every utterance for maximum political advantage...

My Dad mentioned that at dinner last night. I hadn't thought about it. Kind of an Eisenhowerish fella.

For some reason my first thought was what his "nickname" would be among the sharp wits of the left. "Betrayus" is too easy, really.

That's exactly it. There's no one of interest doing anything compelling.
I think he would make a good candidate.

screw you. what I hate is ignorance and stupidity- which you seem to have in abundance.

All you have it hate for the right without ever offering any solutions.

Like I said, I hate the ignorance spewing from the vomit hole on the right. YOU TELL ME what alternatives the repubs have offered up besides NO NO NO. Oh yeah, let's cut taxes more.

Housing up 17% over last year just released. Jobs finally going in a positive direction. Dow pushing 11,000... all good signs but much work yet to be done.

I shudder to think where we would be right now with that tired old hack and the quitta from wasilla in the wh.

you proved my point... your hatred is overwhelming... and unsubstantiated..

Tell you what, I'd pick GWB first for my softball team, fo sho'!!

Last time I felt good about voting was in the mid-80's. I'm sick of the career politicians. And if Sarah Palin is our "outsider"...

[Tommy Gun]

Paul Ryan

And Barbara Bachman as vice

I think you mean Michelle Bachman, and THAT shows your level of political enlightenment.

Hope you boycotted the census.

Relax Jay. We have the same hobbie. No reason to beat each other up if we disagree. Can I have some credit for getting her last name right?

For the record, I meant Michelle and I turned in my census form complete less my phone number.

Got this in an email today. I think even you will like it.

1. Cows 2. The Constitution 3. The Ten Commandments

Think about this..
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country.. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS


The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians .... it creates a hostile work environment.

[jayboat]

That correct, it is my money not the governments



Take out the 600,000 census workers and do the math, not so rosey

How is the govt supposed to operate without revenue?

Right now, anything that puts people to work is a good thing, is it not? Are you sure of that number? Seems like a lot- one worker for every 500 people? (THAT sounds like gov't )

Truth in those jokes. Hard to argue with populist humor.

The fact that you think of that nutjob as veep mat'l is worrisome, Steve. I hope you are joking, but something tells me no.

And we do have one more thing in common- we both think that a certain member here is a sanctimonious pr!ck.

Jay - any one of them would be a HUGE improvement over the clown that is warming the big seat right now.

Pat Paulson would have been better than that clown in office now.

[jayboat]

Yeah, we should all be in mourning because John McCain isn't busy suspending the government to start a war with:

a) Russia
b) Iran
c) North Korea
d) Jon Stewart

It's like you guys have conveniently completely forgotten that idiot we put up with for 8 years who nearly ran the country into a ditch.

(cue the "Dems have controlled congress since 2006" bullsh!t)
