Amazing because most AOL polls lean Republican.

that is startling.

Except the 17% who work for the White House or are invited.

But only with other people's money.

a re-coronation of a sitting President in self - created wartime, with troops not properly armed, and the distruction of natural disasters in our own country still not rebuilt, and the largest natural disaster in the age of instant communication that we ever "watched" happen only 2 weeks old, it is a sin/an abomination.

I spoke about it on a Signmaker bulletin board when we first offered to help with the Tsunami and our paltry contribution was to be 15 Mil./augmented to 35 Mil/ shamed into 350 mil.

I got flamed and creamed by the Repukes, and wrote back and told them I understood, they were taking out on me that they did not like it either.

Another situation where we could have redeemed a little bit of all the lost good will around the world.

I am so angry I keep chewing nails.

work, vastly underpaid, or whatever, and are having a hard time meeting their bill and taking care of their families, are waking up? Is the reality that we are in deep economic doo doo finally starting to cause a stir in a brain cell or two? Wonder if they suddenly realized that 'the kind of guy that they felt they could just have a beer with and talk to' wouldn't be having a 40 - 50 million dollar coronation if he really were that kind of guy?
