Tmas, Apart from your ad hominem bullshit and right wing wet dreams, my tits aren't anywhere near as nice as Jane Fonda's. I suppose you won't believe *that* either.

Tmas, You really do have the wrong end of the stick regarding the Benghazi incident! No, I do not “think Obama is near godlike”, therefore I do NOT expect him to be intimately acquainted with the functioning of each and every embassy and consulate around the world!!! Until you can show that the Pre...

I'm more concerned with the pot shot on the drone.
Iran (and our response) could make all of this stuff seem petty.

Hmmm, didn't hear about that. Have to check it out.

While it may seem that way to you, it is the way I said for me. I don't know what you do for a living, but I can tell you that it's very tough out there for the small business person, and the last four years have been a killer. Many businesses have closed up here in the NY Metro area. I know of num...

Oh, so it is the bad economy that hurts your business rather than specific anti-business actions taken by this administration (which, it seems to me, is rather pro business; at least more so than the Bush II administration). You are of course projecting the "increased taxes, regulation, and im...

tmas

I used to be in elective politics. People used to say: We need to cut regulations! And then when you'd try to get specifics, the argument sort of fell apart. Specifically, what Obama imposed "regulations" have hurt business? Hey I'm a fiscal conservative too, tmas, but I think it's pretty...

Weed is becoming legal..thats all I have to say... ;) The interesting thing to me is do they have a "breathalyzer" type of test for marijuana? The thought of folks being able to pull into the rest stop and pick up a pack of J. Garcias for the road is rather frightening! I wonder if we'll ...

@tmas: how has your business suffered because of Obama's actions as president? When the economy is good people do more of nearly everything, so I would say that economic malaise is the main reason. It has always amazed me how people ridicule the concept of "trickle down". I've had my own ...

Tmas, I think it is deeply insulting to blame Obama for something that was totally out of his control (I notice that Obama shut Romney up on this point during the debate, and rightly so). Do you think the president of the US should be like God, and expected to pull all the strings on every aspect o...

Jeez AlexR, Try to pay attention to who's saying what, Again, you're wrong on Benghazi, it's obvious if you approach it with an open mind. I believe manton is correct, we haven't heard the last of it by a long shot. The man who won will be shown to be the liar anyone with their eyes open knows he is...

tmas

I have no more suggestions. It's clear to me that no one I would be eager to vote for will ever win again, nor will any policy I support ever be enacted again. The country has chosen and it has chosen the other side, finally and definitively, and there is nothing I can do about it. I honestly don't...

Manton, If denial of the facts there is in the Benhazi incident, it is clearly with the right wing elements! I stand by my denial of the accusations against Obama who is only pilloried by those who seek every excuse so to do. Sandy? Obama did what any president would do. No less and probably no mor...

AlexR says: "Your account of (the once and future) President Obama’s reactions after the Benghazi attack is a flagrant example of misinformation perpetrated by the same people who insist that he was not born in the US, think he is a Muslim, and God knows what else. No, Obama cannot be faulted f...

tmas

Well, I'm sure Russia is very happy. Obama can cave in to them now that he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. Personally I don't consider myself as having a president. The man who won has nothing but disdain for a small business person like myself, especially one of my heritage. What he p...

[quote="AlexR"]It is simply untrue that Obama did not declare the assault on the US consulate a terrorist attack. He did so the next day. It also seems to be an urban myth on the right that he is somehow responsible for what happened. Obama later referred to the incident as "a bump in...

jesus I really don't belong here. +1 I think Romney pulls it out, just feels a lot like 1980. When it is really critical I think the perceptive American voter recognizes what's at stake and votes for the good of the country.

Speaking of conspiracies, what I'm reading out of New York and New Jersey is sounding pretty horrific. The Red Cross and FEMA starting to take some heat. So far, Obama seems to be getting a pass on it. We were talking earlier about media bias. Maybe I'm remembering in accurately, but by this stage ...

"For the first time in 40 years, Iowa's largest and most influential newspaper is backing a Republican for president. Romney's endorsement is the first for a Republican by the Register since Richard Nixon in 1972." It's an interesting read. Not familiar with this paper though, probably som...

You just can't make this stuff up. We've all seen the Obama ad wherein the creator of TV trash, a 26 year old woman who looks like she's about 14, rhapsodizes about how voting for Obama is akin to a female's first sexual experience. She starts off "Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody...

Be careful what you wish for, tmas. The pols now spend mightily trying to move 2-3% of the voters in the swing states. If they swing the same 2-3% in CA, NY and IL in a popular vote, we'd have a one party system in no time. Tom, your logic escapes me. Works both ways. Hey, if we're going to flush t...

True, Robert, but the national popular vote means nothing. The only vote that means anything at this point is Ohio. With today's technology we should be working off the popular vote.

I really enjoy getting the often unique wines and food items from Garagiste, but I agree, those shipping costs are brutal. I wonder if it'll be less to ship to NY from DC.

I'm very pleased to see your assessment of the '86 Meyney, as I have the better part of a case of these lovelies. Just wondering if you decanted the wine before drinking or just popped and poured.
