HAHAHAHAHAHA Godfather! Not to worry, I have my fair share of typos, especially since my mind tends to go faster than my fingers can keep up with…..LOL

In fact just this morning on another site I had a major mental breakdown and had to admit to leaving my brain at home this morning……………THAT was painful! LOL

Great posts this weekend Godfather………but were you drinking or just so bummed out by all the bad news? The typos were many which is unusual for you from what I’ve seen……LOL

LOL – Couldn’t have been drinking – I think both were written early in the morning (too early to drink, but not too early to “think” about drinking). Other than that, the secret is out – I have horrible grammar skills (although I am working on it). You ever had to misspell a word several times until spellchecker finally has a clue what you are going for?! That is me.

Probably moving a little to fast this weekend (especially true when I am upset by the content). Need to slow down and at least attempt to proof. Good reminder (until I have a staff of people that proof read for me!)

The first sign of intelligence? An open mind. Never be afraid of the facts. Then make up your own mind. We get to do that in America (and at the Slow Bleed blog).

Thanks Mitchell. I saw that as well. No worries, I welcome comments from anyone. Besides, who doesn’t have an agenda or an opinion around here?!

Heads up…Talk about intellectually dishonest and blatant bias!

Bolsonon is simply trolling. He is leaving posts on a ton of blogs slamming Obama. I am going to guess he works for the McCain campaign but who knows.

So much for an intellectual conversation.

I think you will find most of the people on this site fairly conservative but still interested in the facts. Facts are facts no matter which side of the isle you are on.

Bolsonon. I am confused. Are you saying it is good or bad McCain voted with Bush or just that you don’t want it out there?

Are you saying we have a 90% chance we will stay on the current path with McCain? That he won’t go outside his party?

I love how the liberal mainstream media and so many loony left-wingers harp on McCain’s “90%” statistic while they make absolutely no mention of the fact that Obama voted with his party 97% of the time!

It’s intellectually dishonest and simply nothing more that blatant bias and banal banter.

Godfather Added: “Loony Left-Wingers?” Did someone get a Thesaurus for their birthday or just watch the cartoon marathon on Nick last night? In any case…

I think party bias happens in either case. Although I can only come up with Obama voting party line 96% of the time versus your 97% (I only count the times he voted) it is fair to say that most people vote with their party. There is of course a difference between party voting and voting for the Presidents agenda (McCain voted party line 88.3%, not 90%).

Obviously there have been fundamental differences on both sides – especially since the war – which increases party line voting. As for Obama mentioning McCain in agreement with Bush, why would he not?- things are not exactly going well in the country right now.

Why would McCain not mention Obama’s 96%? Simply put, it would not have helped in the debate.

Thanks for the comments
