LOL! She's having a hard time putting on her skirt this morning.

HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM BEARS NOW!

Funny how nobody admits to voting for Bush these days.

Your party failed the American people. You and people like you blindly keep sending them back to do more of the same. You're guilty of harming this country deeply so you could have a few extra pennies in your pocket. There are thousands of dead Americans in a mistaken war because you and people like you elected a moron. You are to blame. I'm personally doing fine. This isn't about me. It's about how your party continues to fail and you continue to support them. Learn how to read. You either can't read or you like to fight straw men. You haven't responded to one thing I've said about the failures of your party and instead have threatened me and made this about personal attacks. You're the poster boy for the Republicans I see electing idiot political hacks over and over again. No, I don't respect you. You're pathetic. If McCain wins it'll be because the country hasn't learned any better than you have. Since you can't seem to understand anything anyone says to you, I see no point in trying to get anything to sink into that concrete skull of yours.

The point was what the article said, not the source. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. This article said it better than I did in this thread. Yes, he is. He wasn't at one time but he's adopted all of the same tactics and strategy. All of the same misguided policy. You're just being foolish here. First, the McCain camp is the desperate one. This hail mary pass on Palin is but one example of how they see this thing slipping away. I'll take Obama's experience over McBush any day. I'll take intelligent thought that leads to correct conclusions over brash gut feelings that more often than not lead to colossal failure. Fact is, those two words, colossal failure, perfectly describe the Republican Party of 2000-2008. And you and people like you are to blame.

Amen brother! Preach it! LOL! Let's hope we all enjoy the day.

From elsewhere... Insanity by DarkSyde Can someone tell me what it is conservatives are so afraid will happen if Obama wins? They sure sound angry and terrified about the prospect, but why? It can't be that they're afraid women will be suddenly awarded the right of reproductive choice; women already have it and the GOP did nothing to change that when given the chance of a lifetime. Fuel prices have tripled under the Republican reign, they seem fine with it, and so we have to assume that that worry is not a factor in the conservative calculus. Nor can they be legitimately concerned that democrats will vastly increase federal spending, or enact horrendously expensive new entitlement programs supported by taxes socializing healthcare costs and bar the government from benefiting from the cost saving magic of the free market. Nope, those horses have all fled the barn, no use closing the door now. Maybe they're worried democrats will be vacationing, sound asleep at the switch, while the intel community frantically tries to warn them of a vast, pending terrorist attack that could kill thousands of innocent Americans. Some might even be concerned that democrats will exploit such a tragedy for personal political gain and still fail to capture or kill the criminal masterminds that planned it. Others might speculate Obama will respond by foolishly attacking the wrong nation on a false premise and get us embroiled in a trillion dollar bloody boondoggle that wrecks out military readiness, destroys our international credibility, and gets thousands of US soldiers and untold hundreds of thousands of innocent bystanders killed or maimed for life. Worst case scenario: after all that misery and money, weak willed democrats will roll over and hand a date for US failure to the insurgents in Iraq. Then again, maybe conservatives are thinking closer to home. What if progressive economic policies wrecked the economy, rocked Wall Street, caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes and jobs, and turned over our national economic future to the tender mercies of fundamentalist Sunni Monarchs and the communist Chinese? Or expand government intrusiveness making toilet paper out of the US Constitution? Maybe, in their darkest fears, they're afraid democrats would foolishly go on vacation and ignore their responsibilities while a massive hurricane lumbers into the US coast at a slow jog and sinks a major American city. At least one source of conservative anxiety is imminently plausible: Democrats might rescind tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas, divert corporate welfare from insanely profitable corporations to uninsured or sick children, raise taxes on billionaires and oil companies, and create a more equitable healthcare system. That such possibilities strike fear into the corrupt soul of conservatism says a lot more about their decedent priorities than the middle class values of their opponents. I guess that's what confuses a lot of voters: Conservatives are worried that Democrats might do the same astonishingly lousy job Republicans have done for the last eight years. To avoid even the possibility that that might happen, conservatives prescribe electing more members from the same crew who wrecked the country, in what is clearly to any lucid external observer the ridiculous and desperate hope that the same party will fix it all by continuing, uninterrupted, the same policies that produced the damage in the first place. In the alternate reality fabricated by the seamlessly integrated conservative PR apparatus, this extension of the failed status quo is called change, in the rest of the world it's one of the better known definitions of insanity.

I'm not worried. I know my WR's don't have any traditional stud names like Owens or Wayne but you don't get Gore and Manning and get the cream of the crop at WR too. Playing matchups at WR this season is part of my plan so the top three aren't necessarily the three I plan to play every week. I was most concerned about RB and particularly Jacobs but he kicked ass Thursday night, just didn't get in the endzone.

Boy, you're very full of yourself. Here are a few of your statements from this thread. "I dont vote based on MTV." "the libs are backing a socialist" "isnt a communist country" All of which are inflammatory. Quit being a damn hypocrite and crying foul when you've used the same tactics. Yeah, so I used the word stupid in reference to bigots and racists. I won't apologize for that. And there are a lot of people in this country who won't vote for him for those reasons. A few other gems which are either complete lies or half truths... "He is raising everyones taxes" False. I already posted a link to refute this. "give health care to people who dont want to work" So there are 40 million lazy people in this country. "Selling a house" Learn tax code. There are exclusions for this. "he will ultimately create two income levels, rich and poor" The disparity between rich and poor has grown to the largest point in modern American history. "He went in front of a German audience and bashed America. Stated that the US has violated the Geneva Convention and wouldn’t go and visit the troops." He went there to extend an olive branch to work immediately toward restoring our leadership credentials in the world. He stood there and told them the truth, which they already damn well knew. If the truth hurts, too god damn bad. And this Administration has absolutely violated the Geneva Convention and I hope Cheney and Bush are held accountable someday. He's visited the troops dozens and dozens of times. He's explained the one incident you and your Fox pals keep bringing up to my satisfaction. Next you'll be telling me how he doesn't love this country and his wife is a devout racist. Karl Rove is on your side so I expect nothing but slime from that side of the polical spectrum these days. Lord knows it's been effective in brain washing 50% of the population into voting against their own interests. My original post was a simple statement of anger over what you and people like you have brought on this country. Call it a backlash or simply understand that we're fed up. I see the same tactics being used now to elect yet another Republican so we can have another 4 years of doing nothing. I seriously feel we're on the brink of catastrophe in so many areas we simply can't afford to let you and people like you have your way again. I hope that few dollars Bush put in your pocket was worth it all. In my mind, it's blood money. And, as I said, it was all borrowed. So you got a loan. And don't tell me about all the welfare mothers out there bleeding this country dry. How about the welfare Halliburton got with BILLIONS in no bid contracts, over and over again. Who was it that worked for them? Oh yeah, Cheney. I'm certain that was just another of those coincidences. All of these inconvenient truths are in your face now. And there are more to come. We need action now via energized leadership. I just wish all of these "I always vote Republican because that's what my daddy did" types would take a serious look at the party you've got these days. It isn't the Jack Kemp’s and Ronald Reagan’s out there anymore gang. Small government has become no government, no oversight, no accountability. The joining of religion into the electoral process has created a powerful subgroup of intolerant bigots. Reagan once talked about a trillion dollar deficit being made up of dollar bills that would reach the moon a few times. Now we've spent, by some estimates, $2 trillion just on Iraq. But we can't defeat poverty or insure Americans as well as 47 other countries in the world do. It's a crime! I won't argue with anyone who says taxes are too high but I also demand that we get something for our money. I live in an area with higher real estate taxes but we have a great school district. Your party can snarkily call it the death tax but the estate tax has a legitimate place in our society. If you don't want to give it to the government, establish charitable organizations that benefit future generations! Bill Gates is doing it! The benefactors of the great museums, zoos and public parks were all robber barons! There isn't anything wrong with the wealthy but there is certainly something wrong with a system that allows for silver spoons to be passed on for generations. There's your aristocracy! There's your "rich and poor" class system. But you speak out of both sides without even noticing the conflict. At the end of the day, I can't say it any more clearly... The other guys may not be perfect but they deserve a chance. Please, pretty please with sugar on top... Get the hell out of the way.

When you can't respond to the points I've made I guess this is the answer. Threats. Do what you want but I can tell you I've gotten a lot of people here telling me privately that they agree with me and loved my post. And no, 9/11 wasn't an inside job and I find it insulting that you'd go there just because I don't agree with you politically. There are millions of Democrats out there who are FINE AMERICANS despite what your pack of liars says about them on Fox News. I responded in kind to the tripe that was being fired off in posts above me and you never once threatened them. Are you going to ban me now? Face it, your Republican band of misfits has had control over our entire government for nearly 8 years. And they've hosed EVERYTHING. If you can't deal with that it isn't my problem. I'm not going just bend to your will because you threaten me with the thread being closed. This is a thread for off topic discussion. So, do whatever you like. I think it's cowardly if you shut this thread down just because somebody gave back to the Republicans what they've so desperately had coming for YEARS. As I said to start this off: Get out of the way and let someone who wants to run government do the hard work. You've proven inadequate.

The Bears will stomp a mud hole in Manning's chest Sunday night. Not easy on field turf! If we ugly the already ugly Manning boy up, we could have a shot. We have to hope we can get pressure on the depleted line with only our front 4, covering the field with our other guys and only bringing the blitz infrequently. Manning may be a bit rusty but he's always been a guy who could kill you when you blitz. So, if we can get pressure up the gut, it'll hurt their running game and will cut down Manning's options in the passing game. This thing will be decided in the trenches. As like most football games. They're superior to us at nearly every position so a little luck, like a tipped ball, will help us pull off this unlikely upset.

Sum it up: Benson was an immature douche bag and we made a mistake putting our faith in him.

Republicans are . They want to fight this election based on issues like gay marriage and abortion. I so hope the country sees through it this time. While those may be issues that are important to some, if you're voting against the better good of the country because you don't like gays, or black people, or whatever, you're a stupid bastard. Period. The heartland of this country has been destroyed by Republicanomics. The war, even if you believe it was the right thing to do in the first place, was run as poorly as it could've been and continues to put our men and women in harm's way every day when Democrats had plans 5 years ago to move to a support mode. Has the "surge" worked? Some say yes but others, looking at the underlying reasons for the surge in the first place, disagree. And now Bush and his cronies have come around, they'll tell you, and are planning a withdrawal along the lines proposed by Obama all along. Who would you rather vote for, the guy who was right, ABOUT EVERYTHING, for years, or the guy who comes along in an election cycle and adopts his plans and claims they're his own. All this talk about increased taxes is more bullshit. The facts don't support the Republicans. Obama's plan puts more tax relief into the hands of the middle class than does McCain's. That's a FACT. All along we've been lining the pockets of the wealthy and they've been pocketing it. We're the chumps. Our economy is deeper in the toilet because the plan Bush put in place was never meant to improve things. It was a gift to his biggest supporters. Anyone with half a brain understands you put the money in the hands of those most likely to spend it and the economy will pick up. And don't even get me started on gas prices. Oh sure, it just so happens we put two Texas oil men in the Whitehouse and the price of gasoline triples. How stupid do they think we are? Bush talked about "getting the Saudi's on the phone as president and going to bat for the citizens of the country, bringing oil prices down" during the debates back in 2000. I wonder if anyone remembers that. He also talked about how he was dead set against nation building and only using our troops for their intended purpose. I guess he just failed to tell us they were intended for target practice in Iraq, or being the policemen of the world. Please.... He's failed and McCain is Bush Jr. McSame's VP candidate... oh my. She's a real winner too. My goodness. All these self righteous fools believing in abstinence only programs just got a lesson. But do they choose to learn from it? I'll tell you one thing for god damn certain, if that were Obama's daughter, Fox News and the Repug noise machine would be making it the ONLY issue of the campaign. As it is, they're saying to ignore the 400 pound gorilla in the room. Hell, I agree. But then, I've always held myself and my party to a higher standard. These hypocrites play whatever side of the issue, on every issue, they think best helps them get elected. It'll be interesting to see if the Enquirer is right and Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner. They were right about Edwards... I'll sum this up for everyone: This country isn't supposed to be about rewarding failure and punishing innovative thought and new ideas. If you ask me to vote for your 72 year old 90% Bush candidate, that's exactly what you're asking me to vote for. Sorry, I'm smarter than that and I damn well hope this country is as well.

I'd agree with this 100% in games.

Damn dude. And here I thought I was rude.

All I'm saying is you don't get as banged up as we are laying around in lawn chairs.

Wow, seems like a lot of guys banged up for having a "big giant pussy" of a coach in Lovie Smith. Maybe the internet football experts here are wrong again. Perhaps... maybe, just maybe... the Bears are a little more aggressive in camp than some have kindheartedly suggested here. More importantly, Lovie seems to understand that you don't win games by getting your guys so banged up they can't be on the field on opening day. Even though there are a lot of ouchies, none of them are serious enough to keep anyone off the field.

My money league draft was last night. Ended up with the 6th pick (ten team league) and came away with the following: Starters Peyton Manning Brandon Jacobs Frank Gore Santonio Holmes Calvin Johnson Greg Jennings Chris Cooley Shayne Graham Chicago Bears Backups Jake Delhomme DeAngelo Williams Fred Taylor Earnest Graham Hines Ward Bernard Berrian Joey Galloway

There is a solution on this site. And all you'll see after you flip the switch is... You have chosen to ignore all posts from: TerraTor. Best thing since sliced bread.

LOL! Let's not go there again.

NO question. LT2_3 has a reputation here and has consistently backed up his statements. Further, he's a class guy and knows football, not just the cap stuff (which he's excellent at.) He isn't some cunty newbie.

Nah... Everyone knows you're "the guy" anyway LT2_3! So, it seems we're in the range of $9 million and have something left for a FA LT if we can locate one. Thanks!

Welcome to the club, Pix!

I was joking/teasing with my "suck" comment. I agree, it's the QB, line and WR's along with the running game and play calling that make a passing game successful. Plenty of places to foist a little blame.

They all suck equally? If I had to guess, I'd say Lloyd/Hester but I doubt designating them 1/2 really means all that much.
