Tomorrow, Clinton speaks, and it's the opener for the NFL. Want to guess which will get higher ratings?

I'll be watching football!!

Then I agree with you. I mean a little of your past for background is ok but these folks (both sides) are going overboard talking about themselves. I was taught not to do that by Mac Davis.

i did hear some talking heads... appears in their speeches they gave lip service to individual achievement because some focus group said to...and then seems it was government to the rescue all the way for both..and barack? he's a saint who will take care of you because he cares.

and oh yeah he was poor..because as a college kid..he took a hand me down table or something or other..what a joke.

one more poor story by all these rich ppl will make me puke

there is just so much dishonesty in all these people do and say its disheartening

I'll give you this; that's the most appropriate handle for a Texas Republican I have ever seen.

Ain't that the truth.

And by the way, what's with all of the "I owe it all to my moma" shit. Both the Republicans and Democrats are all praising "moma" to the extent that you begin to believe that they were all concieved by emaculate conception.

This ain't a "panderfest", it's a "pukefest".

And ate lots of tuna and pasta? Lame. But in the end, giving a good speech isn't what we're electing. We're supposed to be electing the President of the United States of America and leader of the world. Sad really all this electing based on good looks and sound bites.

its the height of racism to always have these tv people feel compelled to have to compliment michelle on how great she looks...especially when it aint necessarily so...we will have progressed a lot when something like that doesnt have to be said just to be on the safe side

One of the things she said that just made me slap my forehead was, how much in debt they were for college. WTF. You don't HAVE to go harvard and if that's what you want then you can WORK your way through. No one single person in my family going back 4 generations, has ever EVER had college loan debt. We work for it. Every step.

I'm so glad we paid someone to watch it for us and bring out an unbias report of the high points. You couldn't pay me enough money to watch that woman for 60 seconds much less 60 min.


I feel bad saying that, but that's how I feel about her. The polls show you obama folk are in the lead. I truly wonder how many of those votes are dead people. Pelase dont get me wrong. If our side was trying to be deceptive with that vote thing< I will be just as pissed. I hate being mad. Why the heck can't we all work together? I have no problem with democrats. It's Obama I have issue with, and the rest of his radical Left crew.

First, there is no such thing as an "individule" and there are no "fiscal conservatives" in the Teapublican Party. Why? One would have opened his mouth during the 8 years of fiscal liberalism under Bush. In addition, they would also realize that tax cuts ARE PROVEN NOT to create jobs and that wars need to be funded with revenue sources. Now, they want us to vote for them when their entire "plan" is a recreation of the Bush fiasco with an austerity program to hurt the middle class and poor thrown in.

What we have is CINOS who have taken over enough of the government with divisiveness and anger to "bully" and obstruct those who are trying to keep us out of a depression by helping small business and ordinary Americans.

There is no such word as unbias that can be used in the manner you used it. Perhaps you should have gone to Harvard (big H) and learned that people can be "biased" but not "bias". The term "bias" is the noun that is used to define something they show.

In other words, "Biased" is what someone can be and "Bias" is what someone can have when he is "biased".

An example of a sentence using both would be: You are biased and everyone with a brain can see that bias.

Everyone with a brain also watched the actual speech instead of having FAUX interpret it for them.

People who only read "Cliff Notes" should not be the ones reviewing the book. Their posts look too much like they are using the same pigeon English Barleybrains uses to victimize his students.

Go to any Teapublican message board or blog and you'll see the overwhelming number of people who misuse "bias" are the morons who don't understand the word fully in the first place.

Where did you go to college that you were able to work your way through without debt? I put three kids through college and am not aware of any universities where anyone but the rich can pay full tab. We saved for 15 years to pay for their college educations and still didn't have enough. They worked the whole time and still incurred student loans.

With all due respect to a beautiful avatar, that's an asinine statement. If you get accepted to Harvard, you find a way to go to Harvard. Unless you prefer another school. They chose to borrow money. He's President of the United States. Wonder where he'd have been had he just decided to go to a school they could afford (which probably would have been NONE!)

I suppose nothing in life is worth reaching for.

CINO is a Conservative In Name Only. It is what anyone who espouses Rmoney's plan must be in order to ignore enough economic principles to think that their plan" will work. They are the idiots who think tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs and that an austerity program will cure our economic ills.

Well said! Or they could have done like Rmoney suggested to some students at a commencement ceremony. Ask your parents for a loan. LMAO. Mittens really is from another planet. Doesn't everyone have rich parents?
