1. Ok....ah...Where?

13. Ah, that's much better. Done.

[BlooInBloo]

[Bluzmann57]

4. I'd like to, but we need a link

[Speck Tater]

5. And that small town paper would be ...? Link please. nt

[abumbyanyothername]

6. Plus -- which bill

I favor HR676, not so much HR3200, not the Senate version at all.

[babylonsister]

16. What's the Senate version? nt

[abumbyanyothername]

20. Well so far --

no public option (non-profit co-ops), and no end of life counseling.

Who knows what else Rahm has agreed to with Max and Chuck.

I am hoping that progressives will draw the line on (opposing) mandatory coverage if there is no public option.

[babylonsister]

29. I think that's the progressives' plan, but you don't know about

what might happen with the public option. Here's a guy who used to work for this admin who thinks Obama is fighting everyone to keep the p.o. in tact. :shrug: I guess we'll see how convinced the prez is about whether he has the juice to get it done.

snip//

One of the fascinating dynamics to this battle is the extent to which Obama himself seems to be resisting some of his advisers' desire to give up on the public option. As far as I can tell from their public comments and what I hear behind the scenes, people like Rahm Emanuel, Jim Messina, and Nancy-Ann Min DeParle are ready to call it a day and throw in the towel on the public option. The conventional wisdom is that only progressives in the House have kept that from happening so far, but that eventually they will cave. But listening to Obama talk about the public option, and watching him pull back Rahm repeatedly from publicly caving on it, I have grown more and more convinced that inside the White House, it is Obama himself who keeps pushing back against aides ready to throw in the towel on the issue. I think he will continue to fight hard for the public option until the moment that he is convinced there is no hope - and hopefully that moment will never come.

:hi:

[newtothegame]

43. Done, but what exactly is the point of flooding these polls?

To make an unscientific poll more unscientific?

[kayakjohnny]

48. More like something in order to balance out a fucked up section of this country

in just a small way.

[Control-Z]

85. I agree with you

when it comes to a lot of polls. But in this case, with the lunatic right drowning out any discussion of real facts, I honestly believe the followers are too heavily dedicated to thinking what they "think" they should think. If they see that a lot of other people actually do think differently it may give them a reason (or just permission, in their funny little heads) to acknowledge there might be something more to consider. Does that make sense?

[newtothegame]

129. Fair enough! n/t

[kayakjohnny]

44. Just hit it for ya, samplegirl...

This news in your local paper was quite shocking:
Bodies bound in burning car
By JOE GORMAN Tribune Chronicle
POSTED: August 13, 2009
YOUNGSTOWN - Police say the hands and legs of two men found in a burning car early Tuesday morning on the banks of the Mahoning River were bound and their heads were covered with a bag that also was wrapped in duct tape.

[gleaner]

73. Maybe....

just my bad eyesight.:blush: I'm an old fart and I need longer arms to read. I might have scrambled the numbers because it is tricky using bi focals on a computer screen. If you look over them you are effectively not able to see that well. If you try to use the part that allows you to read, you are kind of in the same position as a turkey with its mouth open during a rain, and you don't see that well then either.

Will one of you young folks please go over and correct me so that everyone will know how it's going? I'll just go now, and try not to be seen.:hide:

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

131. Don't hide, I didn't mean to embarrass you...

(insert smily face, waving hand)

[gleaner]

136. It's all right ....

You didn't embarrass me. I was making some old fart humor.;)

As for hiding? That I did have to do. It was time. The Freepers were all over the place jumping around like bugs on a hot griddle. I needed to be awaaaaaay from them.

I think that means my protective tinfoil hat is wearing thin. I have had to use it a lot lately to protect myself from Freeper brain boring. :tinfoilhat: But while I was resting I did find a useful link on Google to make a new, better tinfoil hat.

http://zapatopi.net/afdb/:bounce:

It is a simple but necessary procedure if you want to survive Freeperspeak with your senses intact.

Seriously, you did exactly what we all hope to do for each other. You corrected an inaccuracy and helped maintain the integrity of the thread. Thank you.:hi:

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

138. That link was great, had to send it to a few friends...

[samplegirl]

122. and to top it all off...........

they've cut the drug task force completely. Many from the W.P.D. as well. It's just awful here. I guess some fisherman saw it so they do have some evidence.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

139. I thought it odd they didn't mention who the car had been rented to.

I wonder if that information will come out, or be covered up. Where my folks used to live my dad would listen to a scanner. (He and my mom both used to work as private security guards.) The report was, that many time things they heard over the scanner would never appear in print in the paper.

Anyhow, Good Luck and Best Wishes your way,
ADW

P.S.
You think this may be drug related? I had a pondering about a possible Mathew Sheppard situation, but I really have no Idea, no information on the guys at all, just a path my daydream took.

:hi:

[Sebastian Doyle]

86. I voted "yes" just to spite the Freepers, but....

It's hard to say that I actually "favor" a bill that doesn't exactly exist yet. And if there's not (at least) a TRUE public option, with no ridiculous "triggers" attached, included in that bill, then I would actually NOT favor it.

[samplegirl]

95. If they defeat Obama on this

they will defeat us on everything!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

:hi:

[Sebastian Doyle]

101. Obama has control over that, to some extent.

If they send him a shitty bill, he vetoes it and tells them to do it right. There's not a chance in Hell they could get enough votes to override it.

[boomerbust]

I've figured out how to vote repeatedly. I've already done it six times. :evilgrin:

1. Copy the address
2. Open a browser you don't use often (Don't use your main browser for this!)
3. Paste and go to address
4. Vote
5. Delete cookies
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you feel satisfied

I wonder if it counts them after the first vote though??

[samplegirl]

114. Thanks for the help
