Sandy who? (Sorry, I don't know who ALL the players are, though you'd think I would given how much attention I pay to politics.)

:hi:

[SharonRB]

14. Sandy Levin

Carl's brother.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Okay, thanks!

[Berry Cool]

39. I guess it's goodbye to Charlie Rangel.

:hi: "Charlie Rangel??" (Sorry, can't help it.)

Better late than never, folks! I've been watching all along!

[RevCheesehead]

7. Hi Rev!

:hi: :loveya:

[Botany]

18. Damn the RNC has picked up on my EDV "fun raising tactics"

Appeal to their ego

"Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?"

Offer them tchotchkes



Flatter them and offer for "meet ups"



Reactionary

Good thing I get to talk to a Texas EDV because you know about those ________ EDVs

Tell them how important they are and offer them food




*********************************
The RNC was using this picture?



what a bunch of shits

[RevCheesehead]

20. Hey! Where are my brats?

:hi:

[Botany]

22. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

[RevCheesehead]

23. Aaaahhhhh!

:9 Thanks! :loveya:
(see how easy we are?)

[Berry Cool]

41. Bot is a better seducer than Republicans are.

:rofl: At least he offers Taco Bell and the Red Roof.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Congrats!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

9. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

13. Hi!

I just saw an ad against one of the Democratic candidates for Governor, Alex Sink, sponsored by the Republican Governors something or other. There's this voice telling me because as bank president she cut 1000s of jobs, and made $8 million, they declare she's, "not one of us, she's one of them." :eyes: As if the Republican governors are a bunch of paupers.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Gotta hand it to 'em: they sure know how to twist things around to

appeal to their lizard-brained followers.

[RevCheesehead]

5. I have a special request, please.

My best friend, my former cat-sitter in my last hometown, has a very, very sick Golden Retriever. Rosy has not been well, and has a whole series of health issues. She got very sick from taking generic Thyroid medicine. The vet saw her today, and said she has, at best, pneumonia, or at worst, heart and/or kidney failure. Sue is a total mess (she loves her critters like so many of us do - like a/another child. I don't know if Rosy will survive through the night... if she does, they have a terrible decision to make. Would you please keep Sue, her family, and Rosy in your thoughts and prayers?

(this is the same lady who has been so good to me all through my hell, including, especially, the hunt for C.C.)

[Patsy Stone]

8. Of course.

Poor Rosy. :hug:

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

11. She is just the sweetest doggy -

she reminds me of Sheridan, whom, along with Greylyn, I miss.

Thanks, Patsy.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Absolutely.

Poor Rosy. I hope she recovers. And hugs to your friend.

[RevCheesehead]

12. This is where I hate living 3 hours away.

Thanks - I certainly hope they can do something for her.
My friend is a tough woman, but this situation has her in tears. It's just awful not being able to be there.

[Botany]

19. It is a hard decision but not a terrible one.

You can make your buddy stop hurting and that is a good thing.

[RevCheesehead]

21. That's true...

but I'm not sure they're "there" yet. If this is pneumonia, I think she can recover. But if her heart and kidneys are failing, it's just a matter of time. The dog's only 7 years old. :(

[Botany]

24. Once the kidneys start to shut down it is time.

The dog will let you know when it is time.

[RevCheesehead]

26. That's what I told her...

"she'll let you know when it's time."

I went through this with Binky. It was the hardest best decision I ever made.

[SharonRB]

25. Of course, Rev

My thoughts will be with them.

[RevCheesehead]

28. Thank you so much, Sharon.

[Berry Cool]

42. You got it, Rev.

Anytime. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

46. Thanks, Berry.

:hug:

[SharonRB]

17. Just put up two clips of Nancy on TV today

in the video forum. Take a look!

[Patsy Stone]

27. Ya think, Lawrence?

Really? The BFEE wanted to invade Iraq even if there weren't any WMD? Where have you been?

[Botany]

33. PNAC 1998

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

BTW Saddam used to shoot al Qaeda people when ever he had a chance.

When do get to put them on trial?

[Botany]

29. F*** you Karl

We have the tapes, newspaper articles, and the PNAC links

Bush was on record in 1999 telling a Houston paper about how
he was going to run his Iraq war.

BTW bush/Cheney kicked the inspectors out to start the war.

[Patsy Stone]

31. #3 Roving Distorter

Oh, look... Here's the Dark Lord now.

:hi:

[rocktivity]

30. Karl didn't think George would have invaded without WMD? Oh, cut the crap!

They went in precisely BECAUSE they knew there were no WMD, and they didn't wait until the inspectors were finished because they KNEW they wouldn't find anything! And I'll ask the same question I've been asking since 2003: Why would you bomb a country that you believed had WMD?

:rofl:
rocktivity

[Patsy Stone]

35. Exactly.

:hi: But I don't think it would have mattered even if there were weapons. They were going no matter what.

[Patsy Stone]

32. Damn! I am so glad this asshat criminal is gone.

Phew.

[SeattleGirl]

34. Yep, Bush still has the same effect on me: bringing me to a boiling

rage!

[Botany]

37. My neighbor's son is 30 and has brain cancer

He did 3 tours in Iraq. Lying to start a war so Dick Cheney could make money
these people need a fair trial, then a wall, a blindfold, and a chair.

Bob Woodward wrote that in Dec. 2000 bush/Cheney/Rummy/Wolfowitz went to
the pentagon to practice a war w/ Iraq

[Patsy Stone]

38. That poor guy.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Please give them a :hug:.

[Botany]

43. i helped them as I could

I went and saw my friend Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy and her staff .... the f***ing V.A. was telling them
that they couldn't get then an answer in under 6 months ... same for social security too.

I hope Dick Cheney is in screaming pain .... sorry I am petty in that way.

[SeattleGirl]

40. That is so incredibly sad, Bot.

My pot of rage has once again boiled over at what those evil, evil people did.

[Berry Cool]

44. I'm so sorry, Bot.

:-( I have no wish to see Karl Rove's face again unless he's doing a perp walk. Or any of the rest of them

[Botany]

45. Especially when he is telling bald faced lies

n/t

[Patsy Stone]

36. Here's to you, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson.

:patriot: :toast:

[Botany]

47. A follow up for the book she didn't even write?

:crazy:

[SeattleGirl]

48. Sarah Palin is pure white trash.

:puke:
