  1. I love liberals who hate on bill o'reilly and them go on to praise olberman.

     

     

    I hope you aren't referring to my comments because I'm not fond of Olbermann at the moment. I'm really sick of his commentaries and can't bare to listen to any of them.

    also, someone commented that he would be ranting on and on if McCain was asked to be interviewed and turned it down, which leads me to believe that McCain has not been asked. Olbermann is a paranoid person when it comes to Republicans and wanted extra security for himself at the RNC because he thought there would be an assasination attempt on him. :rolleyes

  2. I watched the O'Reilly interview and I thought that BO did well. I did think Bill interrupted a little too much but O'Reilly just tries to keep Barack, and/or whoever he's interviewing, on topic. He may get a little aggressive in doing it at times but I can appreciate it when some politicians have a habit of getting into the same stump speech rhetoric. It was nice to see a good interview. I will be watching (DVRing) all of them.

     

     

    yeah, to Bill's credit, at least he has a variety of people on his show with differing political points of view, unlike Keith Olbermann. I would love for Keith to have the balls to interview McCain or Palin on his show.

  3. did anyone dare to watch Obama on the O'Reilly Factor last night? I hate Bill O'Reilly, but I just had to see that interview. There will be more of the interview next week. I thought Obama did really well, considering Bill would interrupt him half the time before he could complete a point.

  5. PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

     

    THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

     

    indeed. the state still received the federal funds for this bridge and the road to the bridge is currently under construction.

     

    In August 2007, Alaska's DOT stated that it was "leaning" toward alternative ferry options, citing bridge costs, despite having already received the funds from the federal government.

     

    The project was canceled in 2007 by its supporter Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Congress forced the funds to be used elsewhere:

     

    "Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer. Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it

  6. OK.

     

     

     

     

    note that I didn't say ALL Republicans and conservatives. that's what I meant anyway. the RNC always seems to bring out the worst in their party. I try to watch it to find some sort of connection or anything that I may have in common with the party and all I hear is a bunch of snarky rhetoric. then I just have to turn off the TV because it makes me want to vomit in terror.

  7. 2.Republicans are all pasty old rich white dudes

     

    Fred Thompson is a fine example. from what I've seen and read regarding the GOP convention is the same bunch of people who are truly out of touch and think this country is on the right track, with a war that we don't need to be in and insurmountable debt. everything is just fine isn't it! it's all great, it's all good! 4 more years! :barf
