ya know if i wasnt enjoying the fight with popcorn some juju bees and a big glass of iced tea..i might actually be dismayed. what has happened to the liberal machine? the mudslinging between the obama and clinton campaigns is horrible!. well to be perfectly honest. i havent seen or heard obama say anything bad..its bill and hill...they r putting their feet in their mouths at every turn. to say that martin luther king really didnt have as much to do with civil rights as lyndon johnson did, bill clintons saying that the press is soft on obama and that his campaign is a fairy tale, now which he denies, and says he was misquoted.ms clinton saying that this race isnt about gender or race, but then in the same sentence saying that her being a woman and a mother and daughter, is what defines her!!(um hello thats kinda bringing in the gender card hills) obama replied to the race card accusation by saying, ""For them to somehow suggest that we're interjecting race as a consequence of a statement she made, that we haven't commented on, is pretty hard to figure out,". the clinton machine is at work again. bill also attacked obama saying that his voting and statements about iraq have no been consistent. now ive done some checking and cant find any inconsistencies in his statements. and this is just in the primaries. how much worse for the democratic party can this get? now i will admit that i have seen mudslinging on the republican side as well, i really am standing back from mitt romney because of my total dislike for it. i wish they could just concentrate on what they could do for our country instead of how horrible their opposition is. is this the way we want our country to go? i thought that hillarys crying jag, whether real or fake would have done her in.. if she cant take losing a caucus without crying..how is she gonna handle terrorism or anything else substantial that comes her way? i still am not sure who i will be voting for..but i know it wont be for someone who is acting like a pre-schooler, throwing a fit cause it isnt going her way.
with the IA caucuses over, are you encouraged or disappointed by how your favorite candidate did? i cant say i was shocked by obama's victory..and i guess i shouldnt be by huckabee's either..i thought mitt would do better,and am still looking forward to see if mccain can pull an uphill battle out of his pocket. i was shocked however, when i saw interviews with alot of democrats, and heard their views on hillary. it let me know that there arent big differences between dems and reps. as far as she is concerned. they actually came out and said we need to go forward and not turn back .i like that. im still undecided as to whom i think in the best person for the job..but i keep watching and listening. i did like mitt romney alot, but i really dislike the mudslinging going on between him and huckabee. fred thompson has a great message if only he would get it out there, he is entirely toooooo laid back. i dont think he has the "killer" mentality that the race needs. on my way back to Pa. last week, i was very surprised on how many ron paul signs and bumper stickers i encountered. i guess i need to do some research on him too kellyc aka saucy
i just got up this mornin and saw on the news that brittany spears lil sister is pregnant at 16. this has got to be one of the most mixed up families in the us, and i for one feel sorry for both of them. i dont however feel sorry for the parents. these girls have been pushed into the spot light since their early years by parents who seem to reap the benefits of their stardom. brittany is now suicidal and has two sons withn whom shes lost custody of at the age of 25. alot of tabloids are saying she is pregnant again. it seems to me (im not an expert) that she is looking for SOMEONE to love her. as soon as she got into trouble, her parents dropped her like a hot potato and shoved her sister into the spot light. they announced on the radio that their mothers parenting book is now on hold indefinitely...lmao...im sorry but she is the LAST person on earth, whose parenting book I would buy! kellyc aka saucy
it is amazing to me that everyone knows what is best and what is true about the u.s., better than we the citizens do. im sure most of the other countries have had political leaders with whom all did not agree...im sure many other countries leaders have lied to them about things. why are our leaders to be held at a higher standard than their own? i for one have not written an i hate "any other country" blog, and i wouldnt. i dont know about norway or much about canada, so i would never presume to write a blog telling them to make their countries right. no we dont always agree with our leaders...or which direction they take us. but i dont see a mass flooding to the borders to move to YOUR country, from the u.s.. we will stay here and be happy here and yes dammit we think living here is the greatest. so you dont like us..so you dont think we r doing things right...so you dont think we have our eyes open...so you dont think our immigration policies are wonderful... so you think we r mindless sheep, so you think we r arrogant, so we are tooo patriotic....so stay where you are!!! weve been around for some time and we always end up on our feet. sure we can take your criticism and occasionally your advise . but we will do it all on OUR time. i vote my conscience i dont presume to tell you how to vote in your country. please know, we do realise what is right and wrong here. we dont have blinders on. we may not always agree with each other, but where is it written that we HAVE to?? i didnt realise that all of the other countries in the world have little or no problems there, that they must concentrate and fix ours! i know this is gonna sound TOOOO patriotic but, God bless the usa!! kellyc aka saucy
since i started my lunch catering business, i am spending more time at the grocery store. one thing i am noticing is, there are alot of men there!! lmao. yes yes i am married and not looking..but has anyone ever noticed that there are tons of men there just waiting to help you reach things on high shelves..or pick the right tomato..or even offer you advice on cuts of meat? i guess i never really paid attention before. do any of you cruise the grocery store as a pick up spot? ive had guys ask me what im making for lunch, how to cook different things...outright flirt by asking me when im cookin for them..ask if i need help loading my car..this may be my new venture..im gonna start a grocery store match making business! kellyc aka saucyp
today i saw an interesting speech made by mitt romney, about religion and the freedom of choosing or not choosing it. i enjoyed it and he looked very presidential, some are comparing his speech to one made in 1960 by john f kennedy. now that being said , im sorry that it had to be made at all. no politician should have to defend his religious beliefs. are we really saying that if a person is catholic, mormon , jewish, or whatever, that they are not fit to be president? are we separating church and state so much that we cannot have a religious president? what worse is i saw some of those who have been attacking him due to his mormon faith, are now complaining because he "brought religion " into the race. you cant have it both ways! if you complain about it , he has the right to respond!. i personally think this is the most "presidential" that any candidate, democrat or republican has looked so far. hillary is now resorting to childish bashing of obama, complaining that he is a newbie and had a political agenda of coming to washington as a senator, and in his first year has the audacity to run for president. but hasnt she had the same agenda for years?? how can she criticize someone for doing what she does? she seems to be proud of her mud slinging, in her recent comments of " now the fun begins". obama has closed the poll counts to 8, which now makes him direct competition for her in iowa , and with oprah joining him on the campaign trial.. he is gaining steam. i reluctantly admit that fred thompson for all the build up that he had is a big disappointment to me. he just seems to have no desire to do what he has to , to get noticed..and i for one do not want a president that we have to light a fire under his ass to get him to do anything. im still not sure who im voting for, but i do know it definitely isnt hillary, i think we could elect a woman president, but i sure hope it isnt her. im afraid some people will vote for her just to get bill back in office. (gag) the only bill id like to see in office is bill o reilly, lmao. cmon it is funny, i see ya chuckling there..dont try to hide it!. kellyc aka saucy
Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head..........
By Rush Limbaugh:
I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.
Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough . Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by politicians and commanding officers.)
We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.
You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement p olitics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense?
However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.
I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.
" When do we finally do something about this?" If this doesn't seem fa ir to you, it is time to forward this to as many people as you can.
i am a republican. i am proud to be one, and although i voted for bush, i dont always agree with what he says or does. i mainly vote for whomever i think will do the best job, im not a "party voter who says one person is better simply because he is republican. now having said that, i watched the democratic debates last night, and suffered thru all the hillary, barrack and edwards "drama". they are like three greased pigs wrasslin under a sheet. i did however watch with great interest, joe biden. he may not get the nomination..but from what i saw of him last night he seems to have a good head on his shoulders and reasonable ideas. he didnt let the views of the rest of the panel sway his thinking. hillary sways in the wind with whatever she thinks her "people" want to hear..and from what i saw, double talked her way around most questions without really answering most. i guess that is a true politicians way. while i do think that obama is a smart man, he seems to bumble his way thru some questions, to which i must point out, when bush does that all the dems jump on him and say he is back woods n dumb. i didnt like most of what that lil guy with the ears said,(dennis kusinich) although i did like the way he pointed out how hillary and john edwards voted one way then swayed over to another, and that they should take responisbility for the outcomes of their votes. obama seems to have a much better idea of health care than hillary..i agree that it should be reasonable, but not a forced issue..i want to choose my plan..i dont need the govt tellin me where to go ( haha i know some people in here wanna tell me where to go tho ) i too am looking forward to the republican debates...i for one think that a republican is still electable. the dem. controlled house and senate have done nothing of interest except change the name of some 50 post offices..whew im glad they got paid well for that!!. i could come up with some good names...how bout the saucypeachesmcrea, postal service. and although i do think rudy will get our nomination,...i still like fred thompson...he is cute ( smooches jeffyp ) i would have voted for newt if he would have run.. lol now that should make some of ya liberals gag!!. i really am starting to believe my youngest son, who says political parties are a thing of the past..that we need more "choices" than dems and reps. he swears he is goin to be president some day, lol to which i told him i will break out all of the naked baby pix i have of him and leak em to the tabloids. for all of us, lets hope that whomever is elected, he can bring together this country of ours.. hugs kellyc aka saucy
for quite awhile now, and due in good part to my awesome chat sister dallas, ive been considering opening my own business. i love to cook, and although ive not had formal training, im quite good at it. i had been planning for the last few months to open a lunch catering business, starting with my husbands company than growing over the next months to years. now i have been offered the opportunity to become the tri owner of my own restaurant/bar. i really really have always wanted to do this. as long as i can remember i wanted a place of my own. my middle son is planning to go to business school to help with the managing. my heart is telling me yes yes!!! go for it!!, while my mind is saying..will people want just good homecooked food, and not fancy smancy culinary delights. my husband is telling me yes, my kids are telling me yes!! the man offering me the position has been to my home many times. he tells me i make the best food he ever tasted, but i think he may be a little biased. i am going tomorrow to check out the kitchen facilities and dinig room. he also has offered to foot the bill for all advertising, and if i still want to do the lunch catering, he has offered to find the businesses for me as he is well connected in the business community. i am very excited, but really really nervous. lol. anyone who knows me, knows that i am a hell of a worker and will throw myself into this heart and soul. but i also hate to fail. this is a chance of a lifetime. i dont want to blow it. thanks for hearing me and letting me try to make up my mind by getting input. i value all of my friends opinions, and would love to read any thoughts from all of you. ty! kellyc aka saucy
