I already know why you don't finish my posts before replying. You actively avoid anything remotely resembling the truth, facts, reason, or logic. You've devised a system of hiding your head deep within your own ass to avoid seeing such things. From these depths, things that annoy normal humans seem pleasant sounding. For instance the voices of liars and idiots like Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Dobbs, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Rove, Rumsfield, Petraeus, Roberts, Alito, etc. might even sound believable and not make you want to vomit like those of us breathing from outside our rectum.
The combined IQ of all of these people and you, wouldn't make up 10% of mine or any other intelligent, well-educated, articulate, honest, and reasonable person like me.

Sometimes I wonder if his thesaurus had a swastika on it. Or just a Satanic verse. Imagine, UG in a tub of Jell-O - proclaiming a communist conspiracy because Jell-O is red. Fighting Jell-O now so that we don't have to fight them out in our streets. If Rush told him, UG would post it. UG apparently read words in Barnett's book; never comprehended what was being said. Wacko extremists in the administration did same. Then as Barnett explained those reasons why, suddenly, Barnett was uninvited. If UG had comprehended Barnett, then UG also would be attacking Barnett; not creating a persona non gratis. Extremists see only what they are told to see. UG never read what Barnett said just like UG need not read what Radar has posted. UG - like some others - ignore 'reasons why' and then get pissy when confronted for not grasping underlying facts. A political agenda (and denials, insults, rhetoric) is sufficient to save us from ourselves. UG don't need bother reading. God tells him what Radar will post. Same reason why some automatically knew Saddam had WMDs. |

Well I'm still on the fence, but I did sign up for a discussion with Tony Lake and Cassandra Butts, Obama's foreign and domestic policy advisers. Speeches are fun to watch, but PA doesn't do town hall meetings very well so if you want real answers maybe it's best to talk to advisers rather than the candidates themselves. It's also instructive to meet with the people a candidate picks to advise him/her. If I had been able to meet James Witt and Michael Brown, Clinton's and Bush's FEMA heads, I think I would have been able to formulate a theory on the success of their administrations.
It's at 1pm in Center City. Since foreign policy and domestic energy policy are going be even more linked going forward than they have been in the past, it's a good pairing. Quote:

Lake has an extremely impressive record. Anyone lucky enough to get him on their administration will have a star.

It was a great presentation. Tony Lake spoke about 2/3 of the time and Cassandra Butts for the remainder. I asked a dual question about energy policy and she handled part and had him finish with the foreign policy aspects.
There were only about 20 people there and before and after the formal presentation both speakers were available so I got to ask them additional questions and listen while others asked them questions. Cassandra Butts' presentation was very good and Tony Lake's presentation was great. I kept thinking that to hear this anywhere else I'd have to sign up for a $100 a plate dinner or take a college class. I went in undecided and I still am, but it would be nice if I could have found a similar event with Richard Holbrooke speaking for Hillary Clinton. Of course, if I did I would have asked why he thought the Iraq invasion was a good idea. Still, I would have like the opportunity to give equal time. Unfortunately for Hillary, the Obama web site make it easier to find events and the Obama team is making themselves more available. BTW, I forgot to bring my camera and so I had to make do with the cellphone. Below are pictures of Tony Lake with Cassandra Butts and Tony Lake with me and the family.

I thought so. BTW, I passed along your 'star' comment.

Well here we go, Pennsylvania... final polls say I was wrong about a Bama revival. The Real Clear Politics poll average is a 6 point win for Hillary, but big pollster Zogby says undecideds are breaking Hill's way and will give her a double digit win.
How does he know? I like it better when the pollsters get it wrong. It's fun to watch the sport of it. |

Clinton by 10 or less...I think it'll be a hollow victory.

Hillary will win PA by around 5 points but this won't help her. She'll still be pressured to drop out.

They'll have to drag Hill off the stage at the convention in chains with a ballgag in her mouth before she'll step aside.
