Every now and then you do something really head scratching and/or pathetic, and that was the latest.

Anyway off to take a morning ocean dip now that I am fully awake........ and I need to be careful not to step on a stone fish.

Prior to the US's involvment in Afgh. and Iraq the the USA had far, far less debt. But you tea gangers won't accept the truth just because a democrat is Chief.

Originally Posted By Mr X I'm glad you revived this topic, QB! It seems all the more relevant now, particularly with the rift between the Tea Party and Karl Rove (who'd have thunk it!?), and the fact that the NRSC has decided NOT to throw any support behind this bizarre O'Donnell chick. That win is certainly very BAD news for the Republicans, who went from a probably gonna win to a probably gonna loss in one very small (voters total numbers were somewhere around 70k) primary. And with it, all the more diminished odds that they might take over the Senate in November (not that their chances were that great to begin with...the house is another matter). And yeah, I'm pretty sure Delaware is reasonably blue (not that that stops the teabaggers from peddling their insanity...they don't care WHERE they inflict their carnage...I love it!).
Originally Posted By queenbee NPR is reporting Mike Castle will not endorse O'Donnel. That can't be good.

The tea baggers are running the GOP now. Disgruntled members of the GOP who hate to see this happen aren't going to vote Democratic. What they'll do is sit out the election and be as dismayed as the rest of us the morning after election day.
