Don't worry Bob, we already did make note of this amazing revelation. We're also totally ecstatic to be embracing such an incredible new way of self-referral. We look forward to seeing even more of our fellow Patchers embracing such a trend. It really would be great if we could get everyone on board with this just as quickly as possible!

Here's why this is ridiculous, compliments of Seinfeld http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apa0nG1OfUc

Minus points for being late to the dance with that, Keith.

Should have quit while you were prescient.

Oh Bob, just waiting for the right moment. Credit you with the assist.

That article said more than Obama said the first 6 months of his campain, with more specificity even.

Granted, the president did get more specific after elected, when he said that if unemployment was not below 6% he should not be reelected. He offered another point of specificity was when he said that he would double exports. ::chuckle::

I wonder, if elected, if Hovde would be active in writing the budget his first year, unlike the president, who simply handed it over to Pelosi because "they can be trusted."

But unlike the president, Hovde has been very specific, pointing out the threat we are faced with when the 40 cents for every dollar we spend is no longer borrowed at the present rate of 1.8%, and returns to the historical 5.6%.

Haven't heard much about that from Obama, have you, Brian? Nah, too much specificity, Brian.

@Brian -

So, Hoffa's guessing that you don't think too highly of Baldwin, as she's even more generic than Hovde in the goals outlined on her website.

Based on your standard, is it fair to say that Baldwin is attempting to appeal to lowest common denominator?

Agreed.

@Brian -

So then, what independent or third party candidate has earned your vote in this election?

Then he's the perfect heir apparent to Herb, isn't he? With the added bonus of being less likely to be asking directions to this, that and the other place for the first 6 months of his term.

@ Randy . That's why Ron Johnson has struggled? He has went in and did exactly what he believed and doesn't roll over for the politicians already there. You point is Pointless.

MiniMitt was on hand with David Koch when Bush signed the tax cut bill in 2003.

@Keith Do you really think the Koch brothers has anything to do with almost every County in the state except Liberal Milwaukee and Dane county. I mean Walker won straight wide because people rejected the liberal agenda of Folk and Barrett. You really need to get out of the bubble and stop by Chick - fil -a too see what is truly happening. Tammy Baldwin will lose vs any of these conservative because her politics are not in line with the peoples views. I see the momentum shifting in a big way in Wisconsin. Obama will be paying us several visits because the state could easily flip to RED given his results as A FAILED President. The failure is pretty much affirmed by Obama not even running on his record. Like I said ....You really need to get out of the bubble.

Boy Dude, are you off and running.

All I can say is the MiniMitt should be known by the company he keeps.

MimiMitt is going to incinerate along with Mitt -- the American Borat. Remember, yesterday the tax numbers came out, showing that we in the middle class will be paying for tax breaks for Mitt and others. I see Romney has continued to lie about his plan.

This is going to open a cut around Romney's eye that Obama is going to keep punching at and open more.

The Chick-a-fil incident yesterday was nothing short of disgusting, in affect saying that these people back a view that somehow gays are inferior.

Being gay is as natural as being left handed. I'm sure later on those in line in their fabric blend clothes will waddle over to Red Lobster for diner -- all in violation of Leviticus. But maybe they stoned to death their kids for being disobedient.

Keith,

The Chick-a-fil incident yesterday was nothing short of disgusting, in affect saying that these people back a view that somehow gays are inferior.

He did not say nor infer that. YOU are the one providing the projection. Next you will be saying he is racist. Because? It makes you feel good.

You think these people would take time out of their day because they love gays? Think these people felt the same about the Dixie Chicks' right to speak up?

What people?

Keep talking Keith as you got a stain of ignorance on your shirt . Free speech isnt about only agreeing with what you think . You are really getting embarrassing with your talking points. Why were younot BASHING Obama when he had the same view up until a few weeks ago?. Lets hope none of us evolve to your level of ignorance as you straddle both sides of the fence. The american people in mass get it .....You simply dont!

@Keith S.

No, they came out because they don't like bullies.

Those boycotts can have quite a recoil.

@Schmitzy -

When the liberals attacked Chick-fil-A, conservatives came out en force to defend them!

When the Dixie Chicks took fire for comments they made about the President and Iraq War, you and the rest of the liberals were MIA at the party!

I believe your real anger here lies in the fact that conservatives have loyalty and conviction to the efforts of their team, while liberals are mostly in it for their own self-interest and little else.

Keith also fails to make the distinction between Chick-fil-A and the Dixie Chicks situations. When the Dixie Chicks made their comments, the government didn't try to take any action against them. When Mr. Chick-fil-A made his, the mayors of Chicago and Boston decided to abuse their power to make sure that C-f-A wasn't able to expand in their respective cities.

It's one thing if private citizens choose to boycott someone because they disagree with the opinions they expressed. It's another thing entirely for the government to take action against someone because of the opinions they express.

@Cowdung
Of course Keith cant make distinctions. He simply rambles on to some other stance in Hypocrisy . He is like Obama only his views evolve every other sentence and our never tied to a logical position. Being Liberal is a mental disorder and Keith is a good poster boy to illustrate it .

David, thats what I'm saying! It's this incredible disconnect between the posing and the guy himself. And it's so blantant! one ad says he simply doesn't care what other senators think of him. He smirks as though it's a virtue to be this condescending...this self righteous.

@David -

You really want to play a birther here?

@Brian -

Look at where compromise and playing together has gotten us - $16T in federal debt and growing. You call that efficiency and effectiveness?

@JRH I am very serious about the Carpet Bagging nature of Mr Hovde's run for the Senate --- the Birther part is just a little fun --- remember all the fun the Tea Partiers had with clamoring for Obama's Birth Certificate !!

Always glad to help someone become more informed ;-)
