Hi gang,

After reading my latest editorial, what do you guys think of the media already speculating who within the GOP will try for the White House in 2012?

    Anyone have any thoughts about this?

    Its way too early to tell. Sarah Palin, Pat Toomey or Ron Paul would be good.

      Thanks for the comment on my blog! Sarah Palin is popular and she'll probably go for it but a lot of Republicans don't like her.

    Whomever in the GOP is considering it, is already hard at work. Expect to see potentials release books, do more TV interviews as expert guests, strive for more public time in any way.
    Huckabee with his TV show and Palin with her book fits the bill so far.
    More interesting to me is if there will be a semi-viable third party candidate. Conditions are ripe for a Perot replacement.

    Your site will be better if you set it to left align. I have to drag the windows bar to the right to see the whole screen of your site.
    1. Timesobserver
      What is your monitor size set for? The average monitor size of my readers is 1200 and I made my site set for 1000.
    2. weblogian
      I think It's not the monitor size problem. You div should be float left or center so that it goes well with all size. Even if your reader monitor has smaller monitor size.

      Well I am 1024x 768

      I'm familiar with the floating design, but I went with the absolute positioning. I just found it a bit easier for me design wise.

      I'm just surprised that you had a problem with it, because no one ever mentioned it to me before. I've asked and they all said that it comes up fine.

      I'll check out once I get the chance though.

    Well then I guess it's too early to announce my candidacy (is that how u spell that?)


    Hahaha...made ya think for a minute,didn't I
    1. CrazieShamrock
      I'd vote for you over any of the batshit people the GOP is throwing around. What the fuck happened to that party?
  6. HollytheHousewife
    I know....maybe I should run,haha

    I don't think palin is gonna make it thru this time...too much contreversy
    I wish Ron Paul would get the nom,but I don't see it happenin either
    1. Timesobserver
      I agree with you on Palin and I've said it at some political social networking sites and blogs.

      But sure, I'll vote for you over any Republican or Democrat. Maybe some fresh blood is what this country needs!
    2. HollytheHousewife
      Well then that settles it...HOLLY for PREZZZZZ!!!!

      Oh hell 2 the yea,would be my slogan!
    3. alivasim
      hey holly, why dont u try for the post??? u can attract loads of voters...LOL...
    4. HollytheHousewife
      That's funny....I could just see my girls using magick markers on the walls at the white house
    5. alivasim
      that would be funny...just imagine white house with color full sparkles on wall...
    6. HollytheHousewife
      yea...and have bout 300million Americans ready to ring my neck...that'll be the day

    You are right about the Republicans not having anyone strong enough to compete at the moment. Obama seems to have the country confused, but he also has them hanging on to his every word about hope. I wouldn't mind him for a second term. I'm sure as the time approaches a Bush's name will be thrown into the ring, that is one thing I do not want for my country ever again.

    BTW
    Ditto about Weblogian comment about alignment. Half my screen was background and had to scroll right.
    1. Timesobserver
      Thanks for your comments and I'll check out my screening problems once I get the chance!

    No problem, I checked on firefox, flock and IE 8 btw all the same.
    They all read coding different, it's been driving me crazy 8 years now. I still have a netscape browser which is best to test and IE seems to be falling way back as well.
    1. Timesobserver
      Son of a, that's one think I didn't think of. I use Sitemeter and it didn't dawn on me to check out your browser.

      You're right, IE stinks and I truly hate creating a different CSS file for it.

      I'm a Firefox man myself but it's good to know that you still have Netscape. I preferred that to IE when it was still out.

      But what's flock? I've never heard of them before.

    Palin is a joke. We need a strong, convincing candidate to counteract the bullshit state Obama has drawn America into. We need a guy who's managed to keep his pants zipped up, has a solid military career, can demonstrate some solid leadership and strength and can carry the election.
    1. CrazieShamrock
      You just describe Mccain again.
    2. xmarks
      unforetunately McCain wasn't much of a leader, was caught in to many lies and didn't understand economics worth a darn

      Basically we need a McCain but good
  10. Rozie818
    TO.
    It's a free browser
    flock.com/
    I also use Safari
    www.apple.com/safari/

    It's good to have the options to check with

    If you open your css (style sheet), all you'd have to change is the absolute to left or center, not the whole style sheet.
    here's a good resource
    www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/
    1. Timesobserver
      Thanks for the Flock. I'm going to check it out.

      I actually changed my CSS a bit today. I changed from position: absolute to position: relative for my wrap div and it seems to have done the trick.

      And I take it that you use a Mac if you're using Safari? Lucky! I always wanted a Mac.
  11. Rozie818
    I use a PC Safari works for both, no I am not that lucky, I had to use a Dell credit last computer. Maybe next time it will be a Mac.

    BTW Yes it looks a lot better.
    a little scroll but that is browser size now
    1. Timesobserver
      I didn't realize that Safari can be used on a PC. I have to check that out.

      And I'm glad everything is working just fine!
  12. HollytheHousewife
    Well to get this thread bak on trk... I so wish I was a man...I could run the country,but seeing as how I'm not...there has to be some man counter part to me that really did care about the welfare of his countrymen...and women,someone who is BRUTALLY honest,and tell it like it is...
    1. Timesobserver
      Thanks for getting us back on track, Holly.

      The problem with your male counterpart is that he could never tell women the brutal honest because he would quickly be attacked as a sexist.

      It's a shame, because a woman who is as sincere and wants to tell it like it is to the female population can do it but a man who is the same way can't.

      No, I think we need you Holly!
    2. HollytheHousewife
      Tehehe ur so silly...and I luv ya

    For Republicans…I’d nominate the two Joes.

    Joe the Plumber and Joe “You Lie” Wilson, president and vice president or in reverse. I’d suggest, for the first time in American history, have a rotating presidency. One year Plumber Joe, the next year Lie Wilson. I challenge ANY Republican to TOP THAT!
    1. CrazieShamrock
      They should re-elect Reagan. Who cares if he's dead, he is a thousand times better than the current republican choices, and he wasn't any bargain either.
    2. HollytheHousewife
      HOLLYtheHOUSEWIFE and JOEthePLUMBER....awe,now that's the ticket
  14. HollytheHousewife
    Yea...ur truly KARAZYYY....forget dead poets society...let's do dead prez society

    Peter Parker: Mr. Jameson, please, isn't there any of these shots you can use? I really need the money.
    J. Jonah Jameson: Awww. Miss Brant?
    Miss Brant: Yeah?
    J. Jonah Jameson: Get me a violin
