| I normally always spend 10 or 20 seconds skimming Terry's posts but I admit they seem a little long. You could link to articles within the post and you don't need to write a thesis about obvious stuff. The Michigan chiarman Saul Anuzis does a pretty good blog although he's also a little wordy and he's a little "neoconservative". http://migop.blogs.com/ |

Democrats take Obama shift in stride [1]
YOU CANNOT PIGEON HOLE OBAMA AS A LIBERAL.
On Wednesday, Obama again bucked his liberal allies, voting in the Senate to give legal immunity to phone companies that took part in warrantees wiretapping after the Sept. 11 attacks. Critics chided Obama for the vote -- which put him crossways with dozens of Democratic colleagues, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York [1]
Obama's vote was not unexpected, as he had signaled earlier that he would back the compromise legislation. But the senator from Illinois found himself at odds with Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) and Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (Ill.), as well as three of his opponents for the Democratic nomination, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.). [2]
2.THE CENTER IS NOT A BAD PLACE TO BE AFTER TWO PRESIDENTIAL TERMS OF THE CHENEY RIGHT WING AND POSSIBLE IDENTICAL FUTURE WITH MCCAIN
I don't think Bush qualifies as a right winger. He is a big government Republican who minus he right to life claims would have fit well with big government liberal democrats with his entitlement state expansion and his anti-constitution Leave Children Behind Act and his massive increase of the Federal Government. If you go by results Bush is to the left of Bill Clinton!!!
Bush expanded government more than Bill Clinton!!!
That is not Right Wing!!! We need to slash government not expand it like Bush!!! |

REFLECTION: IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE COURT SYSTEM TO DISPENSE JUSTICE. The role of the Prosecutor is to bring people to court to allow the court to dispense justice. The role of the Sheriff is to hold people for court. And when sentenced to impose the justice the court ordered. The Sheriffs or the Prosecutors role is not to dispense justice. Some of us remember the perp walks of Anthony and Pritcher. I am not defending either one but only question why were they taken into district court in shackles with the press notifed ahead of time and the Sheriff and Prosecutor both present. The average person will say great. But in each case private attorney's were negotiating the entry into court. The Sheriff and Prosecutor decided to handle the high profile case differently.Here Mengesha has a private attorney negotiating his return to district court. He was arrested at the airport. Why? If he is given a humiliating perp walk and the yells of support fade away ask why? Were the Prosecutor and Sheriff disposing justice unique to the situation ? Or was it called for?-trb]I AM NOT DEFENDING MENGESHA IN ANY WAY, ONLY QUESTIONING THE PROCESS.

Probably 75% of the privatization is in Iraq. Although Bush could possibly claim to be conservative he expanded the government like a flaming liberal and a true conservative would be laying of Federal employees and killing departments not just privatizing them.
Bush signed the anti-constitution Leave Children Behind Act and Entitelement Expansion Act. Hardly conservative programs if you ask me.
The correct term for Bush would probably be "big government conservative". Most conservatives I know favor smaller government an not a bigger one. |

GOOD MORNING FLINT! PM 07/16/08
http://flinttalk.com/viewtopic.php?p=32275#32275
You no longer have a right to dress poorly in Flint MI USA. The Flint Police will get your butt, notice is hereby given to all butt heads. But did you know that One old mans “offensive” is a kids...kool! Police Chief Dicks is looking for saggy pants showing a little butt ,has he gone too far? Look at the strong message we are giving “Show you butt in Flint and we will arrest it.” Baggers will get complimentary jump suits for a re-socialization to get their heads right. That makes you want to move here right? For you couch potatoes balancing your lap top on that big gut and guzzeling the last of your American BUD and yelling “right on” beware. Fat middle age white guys with bad comb overs are next. My last question is; Will all butts be treated equal? We demand it .Just where does the butt begin? Terry Bankert

SALARIED WORKERS ARE LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE!
In a wide series of moves aimed at bolstering liquidity by $15 billion U.S. over the next 18 months, GM said yesterday it would cut its salaried workforce in both countries by an unspecified number, freeze pay for remaining salaried employees until 2009,
eliminate health-care coverage for U.S. salaried retirees over 65
and cut cash bonuses for executives. The company estimated the white-collar cuts will reduce cash costs by more than 20 per cent, or $1.5 billion U.S., in 2009.

But they still have the prestige of being salary, rather than those scummy hourly workers.
