. 3700 people voted on that poll/questionnaire.
What's the population of the US? 370 million? What is that? Something like 1-10000th of a percent?
What I think will happen is the more civil war talk that comes around, the more the moderate GOPers will step away from the GOP.
And there's the percentage of the actual people who want this bs and will just lose interest and take their toy and go home. As soon as they realize that what their doing is illegal and that they will end up in prison. If they survive the shoot out with the Feds.
The problem is it only takes one. One crazy nutcase to take a shot.
And there's more than just one.
This clown is an anarchist. And he's fueling a fire that he wants to lose control of. There are a number of them.
A civil war? I doubt it. Violence? I don't doubt that.
An attempt on the Prez's life? I have no doubt .
Those people are absolutely fricken nuts.
They are anarchists. They want trouble. It scares me to think what will happen if the Prez gets assassinated.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
And for what?
This thing called the Iraq war was a training exercise.
They just didn't expect it to go the way it did.
Me thinks Boosh and Cheney had bigger plans,like say Iran.
Obama may not be everything to everybody. But I sure as hell am glad we didn't end up with McCain.

BAG Looks at the Iraq War
The top regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is expected to announce millions of dollars in pay packages for top executives at the government-run mortgage-finance titans, people familiar with the matter said.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency approved compensation plans for Fannie Chief Executive Michael Williams and Freddie CEO Charles Haldeman Jr. Those packages are expected to be in a range of $4 million to $6 million, people familiar with the matter said. The companies are expected to spell out pay details for their top executives in securities filings Thursday morning.
The Christmas Eve announcement is likely to provoke a fresh round of controversy concerning the federal government’s role in propping up the two companies. Taxpayers have pumped more than $100 billion of capital into both firms to keep them from collapsing amid huge losses stemming from falling home prices and mortgage defaults.
Representatives of both Fannie and Freddie declined to comment Wednesday evening.
(Obama Administration rejected a request under the Freedom of Information Act to review Freddie Mac board minutes and correspondence during Emanuel's time as a director.[32])
