Just finished Hardball. Matthews thinks we're going to win. Me, too.
The discussion was heavy on strategy, light on policy. But I enjoyed it. I attributed the President's ultimate victory, when asked for a one-word reason, to his vision.
Comments
Joe - What do you think is wrong with him when he doesn't have a teleprompter? I would be interested to hear someone from the other side's assessment without the usual, knee-jerk commentary I usually hear.
Ron Reagan - Going to bed, will try to check out the file tomorrow. I agree that every registered, legal voter should have their vote counted. It is my opinion that all of this rhetoric about votes not being counted really is an attempt to paint Republicans as racist and unfair. It is also my opinion that it is a cover for some democratic groups to cheat the system by casting fraudulent votes. I have not checked this fact, but I read somewhere that some precints in Chicago voted at 100.3% of registrants in the last election and there are at least 4 counties in OH which currently have more voters registered than voting age adults. What other conclusion can be reached than to think that someone is going to attempt to cast fraudulent votes in those cases?
Linda -- Yeah, thanks. I'd just never seen such concentrated lying before. I'll hang onto it, in case I have an opportunity to nominate someone for an award for such.

Iraq, Oct. 26 - Prime Minister Ayad Allawi blamed the American-led military forces on Tuesday for the weekend massacre of 49 freshly trained Iraqi soldiers, saying the military had shown "major negligence."
Bill Rutherford you big, hunky stud you! Where'd you learn to sing like that? That's fabulous!
Ok, ok, lemme try...uh...
People...people who need people
Can just hire some people...
From Bopal.
One person, one very lucky person
Cause George was a person who sold people
People who need people...
Are the pluckiest people...
Needs something doesn't it?
How about this one...
Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay in the a-r-m-y.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what about you feel ...
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the a-r-m-y.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.

You can do what about you feel ...
Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the a-r-m-y.
They can start you back on your way.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
It's fun to stay at the a-r-m-y.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
A-r-m-y ... you'll find it at the a-r-m-y.
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
A-r-m-y ... you'll find it at the a-r-m-y.
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.

A-r-m-y ... just go to the a-r-m-y.
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
Ummm...Dave wanted to thank you, Tucker for first writing, and then taking down your comments about the 400 tons of high explosive stolen in Iraq. He guesses that means you saw the video shot eight days after US troops arrived in Baghdad? The one with all the weapons right where the UN told George they were?
But Viking Dave wants you to know that that's not how blogging works. A blog is a journal - of sorts - where you write down your deepest thoughts, and then share them with everybody else for some bizarre reason? You do not go back and edit your blog for political expediency. You leave all the screw ups to have a good laugh later...when you grow up.
Now for the last few days you've been blathering on about what a doofus John Kerry was to criticize the President for losing the weapons he went to Iraq to find, but, it turns out that's precisely what happened. Don't you owe us all an apology, Tucker? Shouldn't you put the edited blog entries back up again so we can all admire your prescient thinking and extraordinary perception?
C'mon, Tucker, I know one of you boneheads is man enough to admit when you make a mistake, even if the presidunce can't, aren't you? Especially such a BIGGGGGG mistake as losing not only the respect of the entire world but 10 reilroad car loads of high explosive too. That's gonna kill a lotta people, isn't it Tucker? D'ya think it's in Syria yet?
This is why we beat you up in Junior High School, Tucker, you're not man enough to admit what a sissy you are.
Hey, Tucker, I noticed on your blog where you said God tells George to invade stuff; did God forget to tell George about the weapons? Or did God just tell George sooooo much stuff he forgot some of it?
Joe - What do you think is wrong with him when he doesn't have a teleprompter? I would be interested to hear someone from the other side's assessment without the usual, knee-jerk commentary I usually hear.

To the Tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song
*********************************************************
Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy name Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he was drivin' all about.
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is.
Criminal record.
Cover-up.
Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is.
White gold.
Nose candy.
The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say, "George, stay at home with Mom."
Let the common people get maimed and scarred.
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard.
Cushy, that is.
Country clubs.
Nose candy.
Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
Gun owners, that is.
Falwell.
Jesse Helms.
Come November 7, the election ran late.
Kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
Chads, that is.
Duval County.
Miami-Dade.
Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in.
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
And that's how George finally got his coronation.
Rigged, that is.
Illegitimate.
No moral authority.
*******************************************
Y'all go vote now. Ya hear?

Great job on Hardball last night Tucker. Chris Matthews was actually a human being.

Linda: "Great job on Hardball last night Tucker. Chris Matthews was actually a human being."
I can tell this came from a Bush backer. Who else could cram two baldfaced lies in two, seven-word sentences?

Wow, you are very smart. Last I checked this was a Bush backers blog. And you can count too!
