10/11   McCain letter demanded action on Fannie/Freddie
        20 Republican senators signed this letter.  McCain's reformed passed
        out of committee but didn't get a majority on the floor.
        (Image of the letter included.)

        \_ The GOP controlled both houses on Congress, the White House and
           the Supreme Court and still couldn't get any regulation passed
           reigning in Fannie Mae, why is that?
           reining in Fannie Mae, why is that?
        \_ It is time for Human events to get real. Side with real
           conservatives, and quit trying to fool them. This letter is nice,
           but irrelevant in a campaign that ignores facts anyway. We have two
           horrible pro-big government candidates and no CYA letter written 2
           years ago is going to make John Mccain a viable Republican candidate.
           Those who voted for Mccain in the primaries are to blame. You did
           this to us, we had viable candidates who might have resuscitated
           this dying party. Stop the defeated sputtering, we lost and we
           deserve it. Hopefully the loss will be the kick in the pants
           conservatives and Republicans need.
           \_ I really hope that this guy speaks for a majority of Conservatives

12/5    Romney is right after all -- our military does need more horses and
        bayonets!  http://www.csua.org/u/y3j  Romney for 2012!
        \_ I'd never considered Romney's campaign as an ad for Revolution,
           but I guess that makes as much sense anything else.
        \_ The tax cut removal is ill timed.
        \_ holy crap. This is scary. US troops are most vulnerable as it is

        Internet users spotted that footage in a report on air force
        manoeuvres in a national newscast was taken from the 1980s Hollywood

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        "Arabs, who would seem to have an even stronger race claim than
        Hispanics do, are trumpeting their own write-in campaign because the
        Census by default counts them as white ... Ironically, part of the
        problem is that Arab immigrants a century ago petitioned the Federal
        Government to be categorized as white to avoid discrimination."

5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
        "immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
        \_ Yes it is correct.
           \_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
              \_ Not the same.  Doubly not the same in the early 50s.  Go watch
                 yourself some West Side Story.

5/13    THE DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST PARTY!  Oh man, this is awesome.
        \_ The GOP is Godwining itself. It is an amazing thing to watch.
        \_ GOP is Godwining itself. It is an amazing thing to watch.
           \_ What's actually hilarious is that you believe this is some new
              kind of phenomenon that has never happened before.
                \_ Like when?  Say in the last 60 years?

4/16    The Obama couple had an AGI of $2.6M in 2008 and $4.2M in 2007!

        How much did the Dubyas and the Clintons make?
        \_ Obama wrote two bestselling books right around that time.
           \_ But Obama wasn't that famous before the presidental election
              campaign in 2008.

12/11   Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
    less hand-wringing. $15B is chump change. Just do it. They don't
    deserve it, but neither did the banks.
        \_ The $700B was a loan.
           \_ and we're gonna get every penny back, with interest!  or how
              about this:  it would have been much worse if we hadn't loaned
