Mister Perjury Speaks....tonight!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:35:05 PM
Few things are of less relevance than a speech by disgraced former president Bill Clinton.  The fact that anyone makes a big deal out of a Clinton speech mystifies me frankly.  But nonetheless, he owns night 3 of the convention and people will no doubt tune in by the millions to watch him spin his wand of sophistry over the crowd.
 
As you watch the speech, keep in mind that you are watching an admitted perjurer who cut a last minute plea bargain to leave office with immunity from criminal prosecution for perjury and obstruction of justice.  Robert Ray was lackluster in taking over the independent prosecutor duties given up by Ken Starr so he could go straighten out Pepperdine University.  If I were Ray, I would have screwed Clinton to the boards with an industrial sized drill press but that's just me.  It set a terrible example to let a sitting president off the hook with a slap on the wrist so even today, unprincipled Democrats can laugh themselves silly and brag:  "Clinton got away with it!"
 
Far more egregious than his inability to tell the truth was his dereliction in keeping this country safe and this unforgivable failure is what haunts Bill Clinton each and every day of his life.  Behind the smiles and the affable (if not bombastic) personality lay a tormented man ladies and gentleman.  He knows deep down that the time to confront al-Qaeda was while they grew, trained and plotted their attacks not after they were already entrenched in our society and awaiting orders to act.  Much like cancer, terrorist activity must be discovered early to be dealt with most effectively and the record is clear that Clinton was a coward with regard to confronting it.  His cowardice is well known not only to himself but to others who know his record of running from problems and running from the draft.  The American people should have paid better attention to his record, if so perhaps 3,000 people would be alive today.
 
As I've said in earlier columns, let the tragedy that is Bill Clinton's life be a lesson to all of us and our children as well.  There is no turning back the clock for any of us.  Do the job RIGHT the first time or don't apply for it in the first place!  Especially with an office like the presidency because the stakes in preserving America's future are just too high.

The Democrat Party: A house of cards

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 12:54:45 PM
Note:  Not to toot my own horn but Townhall picked my classic nickname for the Democrat convention:  "Land of misfit toys" as a front page feature today.  If you are looking for the "Denver: Land of misfit toys" column, please page down a piece and you'll see it.  Thanks!
 
This convention has taught me that the Democrat party is a house of cards and it's teetering on the brink of collapse.  I mean seriously, look at what this party stands for, how they misrepresent themselves and how divided they appear.  We have a disaster of a former First Couple who managed to push Obama around so much that he agreed to give them nights 2 and 3 of the convention.  News flash:  it isn't 1992 anymore, we already lived that nighmare folks.  Time to throw the Clinton's into the dumpster and call the trash truck for an immediate pick-up!
 
On Monday at 5pm, I looked on with shocked amazement to see the party open with something that would get other organizations sued by the ACLU:  a prayer.  This was followed up with the "Pledge of Allegiance" and the singing of our "National Anthem".  Is anyone else blown away by this level of disingenuousness or am I just overreacting?  I mean come on, this party has been working to ban the pledge and any scintilla of prayer in schools or other public places for years if not decades.  Such hypocrisy really grates on my nerves and will only work on people cloaked in ignorance, sad to say.
 
The bottom line conclusion is that the Democrat party is a party in crisis with no real soul, direction or recent achievements.  Their only recent rallying point is a recapturing of the Congress which was achieved under false pretenses:  "Elect us and we'll end the War in Iraq."  I have written about this scam royale that was perpetrated on the American voter by 2 Pennsylvania Congressmen:  Paul Kanjorski of the Hazelton area and Jack Murtha of Latrobe.  These charlatans worked in concert to subvert the War in Iraq and exploit the fears of many in the electorate who don't understand the mission in Iraq, the complexities of our fight and the massive progress made since the "surge".  If it were not for this premeditated scam, the Democrats would have absolutely nothing to smile about.......NOTHING!
 
Now, they find themselves bitterly divided over a primary fight which doesn't appear concluded in the minds of their electorate.  We have an obviously ignorant female voter from Wisconsin (who no doubt loves Russ Feingold) bailing on the Democrats to vote for McCain and she stooped so low as to help him make a campaign commercial!  Multiply the effect of this turncoat by a few million from sea to shining sea and the Democrat have a huge mess on their hands.  But why did this happen in the first place?  It happened because the Democrat party plays the dangerous game of group politics.  They look at everyone as a member of some disadvantaged or victimized group while Republicans see people simply as American citizens.  The Democrats were due to get bitten by their ways sooner or later, how sweet it is!
 
Their only refrain to deaden the pain is "It's the economy stupid!" but just like 1992, this economy isn't all that bad.  The difference this time is that the mainstream liberal media monolith has been smashed by the internet, talk radio and Fox News Channel.  Thank God!  This time the Democrats will have to work alot harder to convince Americans that it's "soup line America".  Most people know why times have gotten a bit tough and they know that Democrats are responsible to a large degree for the problem:  high energy costs.  This Democrat-led Congress has governed against the will of the people and has blown off their desire to drill for domestic oil supplies.  The payback for this disrespect will be severe and it is a growing storm on the horizon for a party that claims to be for the little guy.  Well, the little guy happens to be the one who can't afford a Prius, nor can they afford a condo in the city.  One thing they can do is send a message to Nancy Pelosi when it comes time to vote:  "You chose the big environmental lobby money over us and we will make you live to regret that decision!"

The Lesson of the Olympics

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:47:34 PM
I'm not a big sports guy but I did watch a decent amount of the Olympics for a singular reason:  PRIDE.  Pride in what the greatest and most free nation in the world can produce if government just gets out of the way and allows people to BE THEIR BEST!  There's a valuable lesson in all of this and I wish to share it with you, if you'll indulge me.
 
Sure China won more gold medals than the United States but we won more medals overall, I'll take that anyday.  China has over a billion people compared to our 300 million and they use the full force of a communist government to train these athletes from the time they can barely run.  Yet despite all of this, our performance was undeniably better.  It just goes to show that so long as we remain focused on preserving our freedom and limiting the power of government, we will remain the leader in the world.  But if we look to China with adulation as Barack Obama did in a speech this past weekend and try to be more like them, we will suffer the consequences as we fall from grace. 
 
Something to think about and share with others as we thrust ourselves "full-speed ahead" into this election season.

ACLU will sue the Democrat Party

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 12:07:20 AM
Word is that the ACLU will file a lawsuit against the Democrat National Committee for opening their convention with a prayer tonight and saying the "Pledge of Allegiance".  Howard Dean has been named as a defendant in the suit which claims that the Democrat party has violated the separation of church and state by use of the prayer and using the phrase "one nation under God" in the pledge.
 
Of course, you know I'm kidding folks but wouldn't it be delicious to see someone at the ACLU (which stands for American Communists Living Undercover) attempt something as outlandish as this?  It wouldn't surprise Mister Meat and Taters.

The Showcase of Dysfunctionality has begun

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 25, 2008 10:56:40 PM
The DNC is in full swing folks, let the deception begin.  Let the party of radicals, malcontents, America haters, anti-nukers, environmental whackos (who make those annoying "WE can solve it" commercials), anti-war, animal rights, gay rights and just straight up anarchists have their "1968 Plus 40 Convention" all over again. 
 
Much to the chagrin of the Democrat party's CORE constituency, the ACLU, the convention was started with a prayer.  No doubt many in the crowd grumbled to themselves or were just aghast with horror altogether.  It got much worse with a recitation of the "Pledge of Allegiance" and would you believe the crowd actually said the word "God" (once again gasps of shock and awe) instead of just inserting a moment of silence.  Finally, the deceptive display was topped off with a singing of the "National Anthem".  If I didn't know any better folks, I would say the Democrats are being a bunch of "Jingo-ists", the derogatory term for patriotic flag wavers usually applied to Republicans.
 
In other news, some "camera-hound" is pulling a publicity stunt by claiming she has switched from being a Hillary supporter to being a John McCain supporter.  Oh yeah, she's been all over Youtube and is now doing spots on Fox News and others.  I swear, these people will stoop to ANY level for their 15 minutes of fame.  In the Youtube spot, she says that Hillary had the experience and the judgement to be the commander-in-chief and will now turn to Sen. McCain for that leadership ability.  Let me say a couple words to this "turncoat" of a Democrat:  "Sweetheart, if you ACTUALLY think Hillary had judgement and experience, in light of the fact that she voted for the War in Iraq and then tried repeatedly to make us LOSE the war, then you're an idiot!  We don't want your support behind McCain toots, so just write-in Hillary's name or stay home on election day and educate yourself!"
 
Message delivered now will someone at the convention make sure she receives it?  Oh, and by the way, you "Divided We Fail" nuts with the donkey wrestling the elephant are not fooling anyone.  We know you're a bunch of socialists who have no desire to compromise on issues facing the country.  It's your way or the highway.

Denver: The land of misfit toys

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 25, 2008 3:04:23 PM
Remember the children's Christmas-time cartoon that featured the "Land of misfit toys"?  I think it was "Santa Claus is coming to town"  or maybe it was "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer".  Heck, I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast....but I digress.  This is a funny nickname I have used many times to describe the modern-day Democrat party.  Be honest, if you know a misfit in your work or private life, which party would you bet money they most likely belong to?  The answer is as obvious as it is true.

Denver used to be the "Mile High City" but as of 5pm today, it will be dubbed the "Land of misfit toys" as the malcontents line-up by the thousands to make public their many grievances.  The Denver police department is at the ready with tortoise-like equippage, tasers, plastic handcuffs and tour buses to take the misbehavers to a Guantonomo-like facility where "torture" will be performed.  Remember Democrats defined any treatment that could be classified as "humiliating and degrading to an individual", as torture and I'm sure being cinched up in plastic handcuffs, loaded onto a bus and taken to a "stable" on the outskirts of town definitely qualifies!  :-)~
 
Putting aside the great entertainment outside which will be hard to turn off, their will be a world of fantasy inside the Pepsi Center which you'll not want to miss.  The disingenuousness and the sophistry will be unabashed and will run the gamut.  Those pesky flag-wavers (dubbed jingo-ists by leftists who make up a good portion of the party) will be out in force and they will certainly have on something that Obama didn't wear for months:  A FLAG PIN!  Candidates will make speeches which speak of freedom, patriotism and the American way.  Democrats will hear that their party stands for God, guns, low taxes, preserving life and keeping the military strong.  Like I said folks, the place will make Walt Disney proud with a version of "Fantasy-Land" that few can match!
 
We all need an escape from truth and reality every now and then, so be sure to get out the soda, pop that popcorn and sit down for some first rate entertainment as we watch the "American Showcase of Dysfunctionality"!  It all kicks off at 5pm tonight.

Peggy Noonan: McCain should serve 1 term.

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, August 24, 2008 11:19:13 AM
The lovely and brilliant Peggy Noonan (known affectionately as "the Nooner") wrote a really good piece that appeared in the WSJ today, that was until the final few paragraphs where she slid off the rails.  If you don't know who Peggy Noonan is, now would be the time to acquaint yourself with her by typing in the following on a search engine:  "The boys of Pointe du Hoc".  She wrote that amazing speech for President Reagan which he delivered on the 40th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion and it sends chills down my spine each and every time I hear it!
 
This time chills went down my spine but for a very different reason because in those final paragraphs, the Nooner advocated that John McCain promise to run for only ONE TERM as president!  She claims that an announcement of this at the upcoming Republican convention would almost certainly guarantee McCain's election to the Oval Office.  Well great Peggy, so we win the White House and keep it somewhat in our own ideological domain for a couple of years, so what? 
 
When a president is elected, the presumption from the start is that he will have 8 years to pursue an agenda and enact policies which reflect his ideologies.  In fact, I would hazard to bet that most presidents in modern history have been re-elected to office with Hoover, Carter and Bush 41 being notable exceptions. Can you imagine the impact of knowing from the start that a president is going to be a one-termer?  After a year or so, the president could become a lame-duck of sorts, where the opposition does what it can to stymie his agenda and attempt to "run-out the clock" so to speak.  What about the many US government agencies who are under the president's Executive Power, would they take his changes seriously knowing that they could be reversed in a much shorter period of time?  Even worse, would foreign governments work on peace treaties or seriously deal with a president they knew to be a one-termer? Doubtful.
 
If the "Saddleback Kick-Off" taught us anything, it is that the job of presidency is extremely complex in the modern age.  As our society has gotten infinitely complex (oftentimes thanks to technology), so has this crucial job.  The "aftermath" of the Clintonian-era has shown us that a president needs a great deal of time to confront these massive issues and throwing last minute "Hail Mary passes" just doesn't cut it.  A president will spend the entire first year just making appointments to 1,000's of governmental positions and "getting his feet wet" in the job of organizing his administration.  With the final year being branded as "lame-duck" status, this leaves only the two middle years to get anything of true substance accomplished.  Simply not enough time.
 
Ms. Noonan may shine forth a stunning intellect, among other things and have millions of readers but I know I'm right on this one!  We don't need John McCain to make any term limits promises to get elected.  He will beat Barack Obama handedly regardless and he will do it because he's the best man for the job in these trying times.  Russians invading Georgia on our television screens gave McCain a much needed boost as it reminded people that we live in a very dangerous world that is fraught with aggression. 
 
McCain can go ahead and make promises about other things such as not stealing any more of our money, protecting our liberty and continuing the reformation of a previously out-of-control Supreme Court.  The last of which just might take two terms to accomplish.

Joe Biden...a gift from "the Messiah"

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, August 23, 2008 5:52:55 PM
I was worried about the presidential election on November 4th until waking at 10 this morning.  That's when I jumped for joy over the news that "the Messiah" has given us the gift of naming the biggest mouth in the U.S. Senate as his running mate.  With the exception of Chucky "Schmucky" Schumer,  Joe Biden is the most brash, annoying "camera-hound" in the world.  Even an inept reporter such as Jamie Dupree can dig up so many instances of this guy having a bout of "hoof in mouth" disease, the task is simplistic to say the least.
 
Remember my "Nicknames for Infamous Liberals" entry of perhaps a year ago?  Biden is right there with some classic nicknames such as:

Plugs, the Human Copier, Mr. Hoof in Mouth
 
The first nickname (not mine) is a reference to Biden's vain attempt at having a hair transplant, the second is a nickname I made up after hearing of his admission to plagiarism back in 1988 when he ran for president and the third nickname is patently obvious!  Folks, we are going to have SO MUCH FUN with this guy and I now cannot contain my elation over the upcoming election season...hee hee.
 
Biden came right out of the box swinging today with all sorts of populist rhetoric designed to do only one thing, make you jealous as hell!  He was talking about Cindy and John McCain's "houses", when in reality they own "properties", there is a difference Senator Biden and you know it.  Remember what I've said about liberal Democrats?  They always try to make people jealous of each other because they know how effective and powerful this human emotion is when it comes to dividing the electorate.  To quote myself from earlier entries: 
 
"Populist rhetoric always works with dunderheads because people by their nature tend to be jealous creatures.  There's a reason that envy is one of the seven deadly sins!  The fact that Democrats almost religiously resort to using envy to divide Americans is even greater insight into their hideousness as human beings."
 
Just think about it for a second, succumbing to jealousy is absolutely immature.  Children get jealous when you play with their favorite toy or their mother becomes pregnant with a second child.  I believe Freud called this the "dominance of the ID".  We are supposed to outgrow this as we age, mature and gain wisdom.  We are supposed to acknowlege that people take different paths in life, based on their goals, hopes and dreams at the time.  Sometimes a stroke of good luck has a part in the ultimate outcome and if it does, so be it.
 
But while you'll hear an endless stream of worthless tripe out of Biden's mouth, you'll never hear any of what I just wrote.  Oh sure, Biden knows what I know, he's 66 years old and has accumulated his share of wealth no doubt.  But he knows that when it comes to pandering to potential Democrat voters, jealousy sells and he is out to manipulate.  If you allow yourself to be manipulated, you're an idiot plain and simple.  Love me or hate me, Mister Meat and Taters always gives it to you straight up!

It's my Birthday...help me celebrate!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, August 22, 2008 9:42:01 PM
Guess who came out wearing his "Birthday Suit" 42 years ago at midnight tonight?  Yes, that's right, Mister Meat and Taters!  Now, I know that some of you have read the "Meat and Potatoes Blog" over the past couple of years since I have logged over 25,000 visitors.  So, if you would please make my day, or more correctly make my birthday.....post a comment about me, my column or any other relevant tidbit.  If perhaps, I said something in a way that made you think a second time, I'd LOVVVE to hear it.  If perhaps, I said something that was so out of this world that you chortled yourself silly, I want to hear about it!  Cuz after all, I'm a masochist at heart! 
 
So have it at my Grassroots Troopers!  I know where all of you live, so enlighten me with comments or emails about what your world is like and how I help to make a difference in YOUR WORLD!  After all, I don't make a dime spending hundreds of hours writing this blog so I have to recoup my investment in other ways.  Go ahead......MAKE MY DAY!  A little Clint Eastwood lingo there.....

About McCain's houses....W.R.A.T.G.A.S.

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:11:40 PM
We had a saying in the Navy about issues that were of little relevance:  "WRATGAS!"  Which stood for "Who Really And Truly Gives A ____!"  I believe the term applies here as media punditry and Obama attack dogs (typically one in the same) go after McCain for not knowing how many houses he owns.  "Yawwwwn."
 
If McCain is to be admonished for anything, it would be not telling the reporter "None of your business, why is such an issue of any real importance?"  Or he could have made a joke out of the question with a response I learned during a brief sales career:  "Can you keep a secret?" and as the reporter says what EVERYONE says:  "YES!" McCain could have smiled and said:  "SO CAN I!" haha (I love that one....)
 
But McCain evidently didn't work as a salesman, instead he's been a naval aviator, a POW and a public servant.  In fact, none of those jobs would leave someone with the inability to count up their homes.  Marrying an heiress to a Budweiser distributorship, however, might create such a problem and now we're supposed to pillory John McCain over it?  Give me a break.
 
Look, all these political candidates are RICH TO THE FREAKEN HILT!  Accept it!  John Kerry, the Clintons, the Bush family and many others are all millionaires.  Even "the messiah" Barack Obama made 4.2 million dollars in 2007.  So, for Obama to make any political hay over this issue is just disingenuous and hypocritical.  Which leads to the main point of this column.
 
The real issue here is the reaction of Obama and his staff who released a commercial within hours of this minor gaffe by McCain.  Once upon a time we were told that Obama is a "new kind of politician" who transcended the typically divisive political atmosphere of attack ads but what does this show us?  Simply that Obama is a bitter demagogue, who will stoop to any level, no matter how low, in order to score political points with the undecided voters. 
 
Shame on you Mister Obama, you must be getting really desperate indeed.
 
Addendum:  Additional shame is cast on Jamie Dupree (the douchebag reporter) who was having his own little "goody goody gumdrops" session on the Neal Boortz show today.  You remember him?  The Capitol Hill reporter who would lose a Trivial Pursuit game to Paris Hilton.  Washington's dumbest reporter was shedding tears of joy over this McCain gaffe and saying it was something that will make him look out of touch.  If anyone is out of touch, it is "Dupree the Douchebag" and while I'm at it Jamie, "WRATGAS" about you, idiot!

School shooting in Knoxville, TN: 1 dead

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Thursday, August 21, 2008 10:48:40 AM
Another school shooting for the unconstitutional gun control marxists to seize upon.  No doubt they are celebrating as they formulate their disingenuous talking points.  One student is dead and area schools are in lockdown for a shooting in Knoxville, TN this morning.
 
Everyone get ready.  The gun control maxists are as relentless as they are stupid/insane.  They will use this tragedy to make a clamor from the rooftops for eradication of guns from our society.  It's what they do, it's all they do.  Forget about fixing the problems in our society because let's be honest, they don't care about the victims of this shooting.  All they care about is the implementation of their leftist agenda.

Obama's VP Pick: Gov. Sebelius of Kansas

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 3:38:13 PM
Obama is on the ropes folks.  People have lost confidence in his ability to close the deal, especially after a lackluster performance at the "Saddleback Kick-Off" last Saturday.  The upcoming Democrat convention promises to be a battleground of special interest factions, each vying for a different agenda and some of them aren't so keen on Obama.  Let's be frank, I'm not so sure that Hillary Clinton is putting her name on the ballot purely for symbolic reasons and there are rumors afoot that many delegates will vote for her!
 
So, the Obama camp is in crisis and they must go into "damage control" mode much like Clinton's staff after "Monica-Gate"!  Oh, those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end....haha.  How can Obama unite the feminist-wing of the party which support Hillary with the "Obama-Ites"?  The answer is simple.  Pick a VP candidate who is a militant feminist (like Hillary) but who doesn't have a hubby who's a walking train-wreck extraordinaire.  Yes, I'm talking about Kathleen Sebelius, the Governor of Kansas.  You remember her right?  The woman who politicized an outbreak of tornadoes in the Kansas town of Greensburg by claiming the Iraq War had taken all their National Guard troops and equipment.  Fox News later proved her to be a liar!
 
The Meat and Potatoes Blog has written before that the nominee will be Sebelius and I stick by that assertion.  She will grab the Hillary lovers like a pair of vise-grips and beautifully demonstrate the inclusive nature of the Democrat party. (Barrrf!)  Plus, she won't poison Obama's food or attempt some other methodology to effectuate his demise for the purpose of becoming president!  She can afford to wait for an 8 year Obama tenure before having a shot at the presidency while Hillary cannot.  You heard it HERE FIRST!

McCain 1...Obama 0, after the Saddleback Kick-off

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 18, 2008 12:49:05 PM
The "Saddleback Kick-off" sure wasn't a debate but perhaps that fact was its greatest virtue.  Rev. Rick Warren's new format allowed us to see each of the candidates in a one-on-one interview with an impartial interviewer.  Each candidate got the same questions in the same environment and best of all, the environment was non-adversarial.  After all, debates do tend to get somewhat adversarial and that clouds the real issue at hand:  Each candidates' stance on the challenges facing our nation  and how they've voted in the past!
 
May I just let the cat out of the bag folks in true Meat and Taters fashion?  McCain wiped up the floor with Obama on Saturday night and then took the "mop" and threw it out in the dumpster!  On every issue, McCain was sharp, honest, focused, articulate and passionate!  He displayed oratory skills and quickness of thought that I previously did not know he possessed.  I'm not even a "McCain guy" and I was so fired up when he gave a few of his answers that I found myself cheering loudly at the television screen.  Some of the highlights for me:
 
1) When McCain talked about his decision to stay in the Hanoi POW camp after his captors offered him an early release ahead of fellow prisoners.  A very emotional moment as you imagine what lay ahead for that young warrior in the prime of his life.  It was hard for me not to put myself in McCain's place and wonder if I would have made the same self-less decision. 
 
2)  When asked about a time he changed his mind on an issue, McCain magnificently grabbed onto a real world issue of timely relevance and brought up his change of heart with offshore drilling.  He thereby was able to seize the interview from Warren and turn it into his own little forum for a few moments.  In doing so, he fired up the crowd, sent a message to millions of Americans watching and chastized a Democrat-led Congress that doesn't care a whit about giving Americans more access to cheaper domestic energy!  Nice job Sailor!
 
3)  When asked by Rev. Warren when life begins, McCain wasted no time with a declarative answer "at the moment of conception".  The resulting thunderous applause left no doubt as to which candidate the audience favored the most in this forum.
 
There were many, many other classic moments in the "Saddleback Kick-off" but I will leave it to motivated Grassroots Troopers to seek out the clips on Fox News viewer video website at www.foxnews.com   Just go to the search block and type in "Saddleback" for a quick link to 12 juicy clips that will provide a stunning contrast between the two candidates.  Then, when you hear some Obama supporter on a rant about how evangelicals will support "the messiah" this November, you can take 'em to school big time!
 
I may not always agree with McCain on his interpretation of the U.S. Constitution but I wouldn't dare question his character as I know him to be a good, solid man.  Those who watch the clips from Saturday night's "Saddleback Civil Forum" will come to the same conclusion I trust.

A question for the "Show-Me" state.

A question for the "Show-Me" state.  Missourians from Springfield to St. Louis, from Kansas City to Cape Girardeau, put on your thinking caps as you ponder my query.  Why is your Senator always smiling when she answers questions?  Is she just a happy-go-lucky person who finds life to be a perpetual fairy-tale?  Call me a doubting Thomas but I think not.
 
Rather, I think Claire McCaskill smiles so much as she gives her answers to questions for a simple reason:  Deep down she knows her answers are half-truths, distortions or in some cases outright lies.  Think about yourself when someone gets you cornered on a question and you formulate an answer that could be classified as somewhat fallacious, do you not crack a smile as you answer?
 
Claire McCaskill may be happy-go-lucky but not when she walks away from a Fox News Sunday interview.  I'd love to see O'Reilly's body language guru, Tony Reiman do a segment on the junior senator from the "Show-Me" state.
