That one needs to go in 'The Comedy Zone' - I needed a good laugh.

You'll know it's serious when the feed store runs short of ropes. Just sayin'...

Sounds like the president is rebooting former DNC head Howard Dean's strategy to put every state in play << LINK>>.
To make sure the president's boast remains just that, it will be crucial that his opponents in Texas leave nothing to chance when it comes to getting out the vote.
And also... 'memba this? << LINK>> with a << REMIX>>

Wow, I thought we weren't going to do that unless we're keepin' the old prez. Looks like I'll have to leave work a little early. Probably won't be a long battle.

He stopped here in "Military City, USA". Of course he stopped by to visit the Wounded Warr...wait , no, that was someone else.
Funny how the last time he was in San Antonio was when he was a candidate, asking for money. He got elected, and did nothing but slam the great state of Texas ever since. That was until he became a candidate again & needed money. The press said yesterday that the San Antonio visit was supposed to net $5 million. Between San Antonio & Austin, he raised 3.5.

Michelle O is encouraging the voting base to 'shake' people to vote
Quote:

"He needs you to keep making those calls, doing that hard work. Knocking on those doors. Treacherous work, right? Tiring work. He needs you to keep registering those voters. You know, the ones, you know, that aren't registered and you gotta get 'em and shake 'em. Find them, get them registered," Michelle Obama said at the campaign event.

The lack of respect provided by this nations current CIC to its military is deplorable.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it-been nagging at me for 4 or 5 years- your responses seemed so familiar...then it hit me.

2) Democrats promise the Hispanics a bunch of freebies in the form of "free" healthcare, education, welfare, etc...i.e. one of the oldest political tricks in the book, hook the people on the State and then anyone who tries to undo it will face the wrath of the voters
I do not believe for one second that the Democratic party would be as in favor of illegal immigrants as they are if it was 90% certain those illegals would vote Republican if they were granted amnesty. This is all about political power and votes.

I concur.
