      <description><![CDATA[If the talking heads said so, it must be true.  Let me guess, you watch MSNBC????

One for Biden?

What about this one?:IFILL: You both would like to be vice president.
Sen. Biden, how, as vice president, would you work to shrink this gap of polarization which has sprung up in Washington, which you both have spoken about here tonight?


BIDEN: Yes, well, you know, until two weeks ago -- it was two Mondays ago John McCain said at 9 o'clock in the morning that the fundamentals of the economy were strong. Two weeks before that, he said George -- we've made great economic progress under George Bush's policies.

Nine o'clock, the economy was strong. Eleven o'clock that same day, two Mondays ago, John McCain said that we have an economic crisis.

That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch. Those folks on the sidelines knew that two months ago.]]></description>

      <title>[Speak Up!] THE TERRORISTS AMONG US: the GOP</title>
      <link>http://discussions.fairfield-echo.com/read.php?4,74893,74893#msg-74893</link>
      <author>~mm~</author>
      <description><![CDATA[sadly, this is too true to ignore or dispute, but 
republicans in denial will! 

For nearly eight years the citizens of the United States have been terrorized by their own government.

Yes, we were attacked on 9/11, and it was horrifying. But nothing has been more frightening than to see our democracy hijacked of its Constitution, manipulated into a roller coaster of fear, and economically destroyed.

Osama bin Laden couldn’t have hoped for more than what the Republican Party has delivered for him. He’s had to do nothing since 9/11 to achieve his goals of bringing down our democracy: Bush and Cheney accomplished them for him without Osama lifting a finger since that horrifying day.

But the reign of right wing terror extends farther back than that for those of us old enough to remember hope.

In the ‘60s, as a ma$$ movement for Civil Rights, the end to another senseless war, and the emancipation of women moved toward success, JFK, MLK, and RFK were shot down, @#$%&amp;@#$%&amp;inated. It was violence that was echoed later in Timothy McVeigh killing men, women and children in an Oklahoma federal building because of his alleged grievances against the government. He was an NRA, Sarah Palin sort of guy.
Now, desperate to win at any cost, McCain and Palin are actually condoning ugly lynch mob cries of terrorism and @#$%&amp;@#$%&amp;ination against Barack Obama. We have, after 8 years of a terrorist attack that George W. Bush could probably have prevented by reading a warning about Al-Qaeda hijackings and putting out a red alert at airports, a presidential and vice-presidential candidate of the party of violence condoning talk of terrorism and @#$%&amp;@#$%&amp;ination.

If this were not a democracy that is still flexible enough to include the pushing at the envelope of incitement to commit criminal acts, McCain and Palin would be arrested.

We live in Chicago, and we have written before about what a re-run fabrication the current despicable re-tread accusation of &quot;guilt by @#$%&amp;ociation terrorism&quot; against Barack Obama is. We know of the players involved quite well, and it was unpatriotic, selfish and reckless when Senator Clinton brought it up in the primaries – and Sean Hannity and FOX News egged it on, as they are predictably doing again.

There are many ways to terrorize a nation, and the Republican Party has perfected some of the most effective. Their biggest sin is to divide us into two camps: the self-appointed &quot;patriots&quot; and the &quot;other.&quot; Then they pour gasoline on the fire and let it blaze away, as they pick our pockets and dangerously let hatred and a desire for violence fester, caring little if it leads to @#$%&amp;@#$%&amp;ination.

It is not an accident that the politically extremist NRA -- whose leaders focus on radical ideology more than hunting with guns (and no Democratic politician that we know of is trying to ban hunting) – is tied at the hip with the GOP.  Guns, violence, racism, and fear of &quot;the other&quot; are the fundamental base of the Republican voting block.

What Palin and McCain are engaging in now is taking place on the theatrical stage upon which all demagogues perform. Most often such reprehensible and socially irresponsible behavior leads to an ugly end.

That is what we’ve seen for eight years, and what we saw for decades as the right wing ascended to power by lighting the fuse that killed off idealistic leaders who championed the Constitution, the rule of law, and the right of one person/one vote (regardless of economic status, race or religion) – and by stealing our votes, either literally or with appeals to our fears, not our dreams. 

It is happening again as neither McCain nor Palin bother to even chastise their lynch mob supporters for calling Obama a terrorist or calling for his @#$%&amp;@#$%&amp;ination.  Why should they? They are basically doing the former, and it follows logically that their rabid followers would do the latter.  After all, don't we torture and kill terrorists?

Palin has turned from a &quot;Hockey Mom&quot; into a Mussolini with lipstick; and McCain from a Madison Avenue packaged &quot;maverick&quot; into a morally rudderless Franco.

God help us that these agents of intolerance, hate and violence do not take another leader who rallies the best in America from us.

      <description><![CDATA[Something very important happened along the way that little is being said. While the FOCUS is on saving the financial companies--those companies that have been seized, taken over and the Lehman banruptcy---there were many hundreds of billions of shares outstanding that became worthless or penny stocks and shareholders lost many hundreds of billions of dollars --if not trillions worldwide. There is no rescue plan for them.]]></description>

      <link>http://discussions.fairfield-echo.com/read.php?4,74885,74885#msg-74885</link>
      <author>bushisdaman</author>
      <description><![CDATA[The last few days have shown McCain to be a pathetic, unworthy candidate. As the DOW was falling 800 points, Obama was discussing issues. McCain and Palin were out on the road trying to scare Americans into believing that Obama is not a &quot;real American&quot;.

McCain's people are turning to us vs. them politics at a time when Americans need to be united. The polls are really starting to show that McCain's strategy is not working. Palin's numbers are plummeting as Americans realize that she is entirely unfit for the White House.

McCain's increasingly angry and erratic behavior is scaring voters. It looks like he has no idea of what is really happening in the world. Can't grasp complicated financial issues and is now showing that he will say or do anything to get elected.

Tonight's debate will be all important for McCain. If he turns in another stiff and angry debate performance, he paves the way for an Obama landslide.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For your information I do know just a little about coaching, I have been to clinics, camps, and have heard several big time coaches speek so don&quot;t tell me I don&quot;t know what coaching is all about!! I have coached for many years at the varsity level. You sound like any other person blaming the kids cause they don't work hard during the season or off season, you just are afraid to admit that this coaches can&quot;t coach! I do not have a student/athlete in any Xenia program but I have been following Xenia for years due to other contacts!
The Xenia football programs starts with the head coaches during the off season and during the season and what they do during those times is what will lay the foundation for a successful program! What I know is that they have weight training program, okay thats a start! What other programs do they have, do they have a speed and agility program, NO they don't! I can think of several off season programs that they don't have that could develope better football players! Thats not a coaching thing, I forgot it starts at home! (hahehahehahe)
Let's get to the kids, does every kid show up every day, probably not! But if I had kids that show up every other day then I think I would truly ask them if this is what they really want! I know of kids in this program that just show up when ever they want because they know that nothing is going to be said or done about it, the funny thing is its the players on the field, oh I forgot thats not a coaching thing its a parent thing (hahehahehahe)! As a coach you coach to your talent and yeah this kids might not be the most talented but you adjust to that!
This kids aren't discpline enough to be winners and that starts with the coaches and not at home, so you blame the parents for them not being discpline football players, typical!(hahehahehahe) What coaching staff lets players come and go, throw fits on the field, get personal fouls, act unsportsman like on the field,  and baby them when they do something wrong..Oh thats not a coaching thing..it's a parent/home thing! I have thought about applying for this job...but I have  already established a succesful program and enjoy what I do, plus I am not a good parent so I couldnt coach for this program! (hahehahehahe).

P.S. To the other person saying that the coaches can't make your QB be Tom Brady...so a QB is suppose to be developed in a 1 years span, one off season and regular season! Oh this is the kids fault because he has never played there and he is under developed and not talented enough to play the position in a one year span! what a joke! The coaches should have thought about this years before so that as a the coach they should do what coaches do and thats teach and develop!
And yes I realize that other teams practice and such, but this coaching staff does not do their job to give this kids a chance to become better football players during the off season! oh I forgot..its the kids and parents fault that they have a losing season!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Vette, You are correct in a lot of what you say. Sometimes it only takes one positive to bring people on board. Back in the glory days when our teams were successful,(Our Era!) there was a community and acedemic pride. Lets hope that it rises to the top again. If you remember, Middletown was not only recognized as a sports power, but an excellent school, and a great community. I hope that our administrators both in education and our city, the teachers that go through the motion of teaching, and the parents and students that are failing get a clue. Coach Krause has brought back Middie Pride and wants excellence, lets hope the others that I have mentioned, get on the train.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Obama served as a director for the Joyce Foundation from 1994 to 2002. During that time, the Foundation put a LOT of resources into redefining the 2nd Amendment as not a collective right, and trying to ban handguns entirely.

      <description><![CDATA[It would be nice to see this community have as much pride starting in the academic accomplishments as we are beginning to see in the football team. We are starting to see the positive directions that Coach Krause is taking the football program and we are seeing his logical, program building ideas coming to fruition. As a taxpayer and alum of Middletown, I would like to see an indication from Dr. Price that he intends to do the same with the academic portion of our schools. Krause is taking us toward the top of the standings where Dr. Price has languished in last place for years. Krause produces results, Price only talks about better results.Time to go Dr. Price.]]></description>
