Al Franken Wants Computers Out Of The Cockpit

[Tristar]

Al is welcome to take the bus.

If he does, I guarantee it will be a short one.

I was just passing through town...looking for
something to do for the evening. The Rotary wasn't
meeting...then I heard about this.

ACORN works very hard and will spare no expense to alter the outcome of elections to suit their own agenda?

Acorn has a lot of ground to make up, the republican party and Jeb Bush advanced the republican agenda through actual election fraud (disenfranchisement) much further than Acorn could ever possibly dream of.

I"m not going to be guilty of letting this thread drift further than it already has, nor will I dignify the last post.

To the original point of the thread: We need to be on our guard against dimwit, grandstanding politicians whose primary goal is self-aggrandizement without regard to reason or reality.

Al Franken is the poster child for that.

I thought the Carter years were bad................! Talk about left wingers.

Yes-I do often find myself wishing we only were dealing with Carter-level idiocy, or perhaps Bush-level incompetence.....

-People who really thought we had it bad should have looked before they lept.

-I really do think folks are waking up, though. (People will really start to wake up when they start to see what kind of tax changes this buffoon has in store.)

Seriously bro, you need to put down the anti-Beck kool aid.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mike-s...-doesnt-check-facts-attacks-glenn-beck-anyway

If you truly are buying into some belief that Glenn Beck is a liar becasue of that rediculous interview on leftist show The View you are a complete sucker.

You want some examples of real liars? Let's start in the White House and Congress. Believe me, Glenn Beck is the least of your problems...even if he was lying.

Anyway, you never did answer my question...and I'm pretty sure I know why. But I'll give you another chance. Where do you get your news and current events from? (As if I'm going to get an honest answer)

Again, we get it. You don't like Beck. At least have legitimate reasons for it. BTW, how often do you lie? I wonder what your life would look like if played out on some big screen TV.

I'm not sure why you are so worried about "were I get my news" I read various newspapers and magazines and watch TV and listen to the radio like most people. Than I make up my own mind.
The problem with many people is they only watch or read what supports their own point of view. In this case I saw what happened and can make up my own mind. In your case you used a right wing blog to help you make up your own mind. There is a difference. That blog you posted is hardly "fair and balanced", obviously it was very biased to the right.
You are correct about anybodies life being played out on some big screen. I sure wouldn't want it. The hypocrisy is people like Beck make a lot of money exploiting what is often normal human weakness's and blowing them out of proportion. Not too cool to go around screaming and pointing fingers at people and than being guilty of similar or worse failings.

The far right wing and to a lesser degree the far left wing have turned into people that can only see what they think is wrong and totally miss what is good. They are kinda of like the saying "making mountains out of molehills" only on steriods.

 

[Dan Roman]

and you guys are right, this thread has gone on too long, more like thread sucked out to sea than thread drift.
My apologies.
Flying Hi, you are welcome to the last word if you want it. I'll leave it at that.

That's not saying a whole lot, using that rational you could defend Paris Hilton as a superstar, and what about those people who got divorced with all the kids and had a reality show? Being popular in America is not necessarily something to be proud of.

Am I getting on your nerves yet?

You just described Obama.

 

[Caveman]

Like Dan said, popularity doesn't make you smart.

Wal-Mart is popular. I suggest you visit www.peopleofwalmart.com.

I typically enjoy Rush and Hannity.... albeit I'm a strong pessimist when it comes to politicians. Popularity attracts idiots and blowhards. Politicians are the epitome thereof.

You too. Obama's only claim to the White House was his personal popularity which has nothing to do with his qualifications, policies or veracity.

 

[JimNtexas]

I bet Acorn brought in far less for the left than the churches brought in for the right. Just sayin...

How many churches have been convicted of multiple instances of voter fraud?

His "only" claim? How about he won the election by a land slide? I think the electoral college had something to do with it too, I'll look into it.

Absolutely agreed!

I don't recall ACORN being "convicted of multiple instances of voter fraud". I remember Fox airing a sting operation where ACORN members were video taped helping a couple set up an operation for men to have sex with minor girls. I'm not defending that but do you really want to compare what some members of the Church have been caught doing...on a WAY larger scale?

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

His "only" claim? How about he won the election by a land slide? I think the electoral college had something to do with it too, I'll look into it.

The only reason he won by that margin is b/c he was put on a pedestal as a rock star. The guy is a total do nothing blowhard.

So you're saying the MAJORITY of America is stary eyed imbiciles that were duped by Obamas rock star charm?

Really? If you really felt that way then you would hate America. I would. But you don't and neither do I.

The fact is that many many rational adults voted for what they felt was the best candidate. To the right: You lost...suck it up like the left has done for 8 long years. To the racists: You have a black President, get over it.
