I've worked with them on several occasions. Very nice people.
I was proud of them when they made their stance back in '03

Tomorrow is going to be a very bad day for Conservatives.

They will tune in tonight hoping to see their Icon make a statement by yelling or throwing a fit or whatever. But no matter what Ted actions tonight, Conservatives will be tuned in and hearing what the President has to say.

And some of them will see they agree with the President. They don't know this because they have been told not to listen to him, and, like sheep, they have followed the voice of the right wing-o-verse and the only things they know about Obama are those they have been told by people who hate him.

Tonight they will hear him for themselves, and some will change their opinions of him.

And just think.... The Rep. from Texas will get the credit for this!

Hey, I'm just hoping that the O-man says something about gov't investment or more regulations that will cause investors to either panic or cheer and cause volatility in stocks. I day-traded quite a bit over the last few months to positive effect. More chaos = more opportunity. Mo' moneh = less probluhms.

And my favorite toy, SPWR, is doing nicely of recent. Other than that, he's just another liar flapping his foul yap-hole, so I don't really give a f**k what he blabbers about.

The Nuge seems to draw quite a strong reaction from people who don't like him and a shrug from everybody else. Not unlike Limbaugh.

I don't see what the big fuss is about. He plays the media for money. Like Limbaugh. ANY publicity is good publicity for those folks. So the more you keep his name in the news, the more money he makes.

Keep going, he loves you.

I know the Nuge's career isn't what it used to be, but hopefully he's not relying on the publicity he gets from PeachParts....


Heard he's going to tour opening for Styx and REO Speedwagon.....

From my seat it looks like Ted makes all these gun related statements to keep himself in the spotlight in leu of making new music.

Bingo. Guy just likes being in the spotlight, no different than a "shock jockey" like they have on the cable news shows.

The difference between shock jocks like Rush and Nuge is that Nuge got a real talent.

Aside from his love for hunting and guns, in general, he's a R in sheep's, or make that wolf's clothing. Or maybe just a loin cloth.........

He's better known for his music, some of which isn't too bad. I saw him once in concert, never again though. It was, without question, the LOUDEST concert I've ever been to. It was very painful and rather insulting in some ways - totally stupid to turn it up that loud. I expect it was into the 120+ db range and we were as far away from the stage as you could be.
I would have left but I had just bought four exspensive tickets and really wanted to see Bad Company who headlined.
