    This is a rough paraphrase from a delightful book I am reading:

    A baby turkey is called a poultA baby fish is a fry.
    A baby kangaroo is a Joey.
    A group of lions is called a pride.
    A group of hogs is a herd.
    A collection of geese on the ground is a gaggle.
    A collection of geese in the air is a skein.
    A gathering of foxes is a skunkel (unless they are all one one beach...oh, never mind).
    A gathering of quails are a covey.

    What is a gathering of Obama supporters called?

      I'm not sure what you would presently call them, but in November of 2012 you may correctly call them a victory party.

        I suppose it depends on what the meaning of "victory" is. Right now redistricting is going on all over the country. Republicans are in charge this time in a majority of states. That is going to make it much harder for the Democrats to cheat and steal the election. So this time it is not a sure bet. Granted, the Democrats will still get nearly all of the dead and the illegals. So it could be close. There are plenty of dead. And illegals.

            Just because the effort is made in every election is no guarantee that you will succeed every time. But Democrats do make every effort to steal any election they can. Don't you agree?

            Redistricting will make that just a bit harder.

              Nuh-uh responses won't fly pal.

              Do you even know the specifics of the 2000 election and what happened? If you don't just let me know my man, I'll either give you the exact story, or give you points so you can go research it for yourself. If you want to ride the name Veritis, you are going to have to earn it around me sir. I've already done the legwork and put in the effort.

          Veritis, my man, you are proving daily that the irony of your handle. First of all, Republicans are ALWAYS in charge during redistricting...look back, that is when they do the big pushes. They realize the way to win isn't over issues, but if you gerrymander the districts. If you disagree, I'll start posting all of the cases involving Republicans and their illegal gerrymandering, THEN post the ones that weren't technically illegal but were so obvious, that a 10 yr old would catch it. The only people stealing elections are on the right wing of the political line right now.
          If you want to go back to the 60s, then I'll give it to you, but that was a LONG LONG time ago.

      Inept? Smart? Foolish?

      I guess you could call them plenty of things. There are enough words in the English language to be considered ample for the task.

      However, the bigger picture actually shows that Obama, as an individual isn't up to the task he originally planned. He underestimated the power of the people or is just ignorant.

      It's unfortunate that the original goal isn't going to happen. It just means that there are too many people creating means for decisiveness. Divide and conquer, and it's working. It's a shame.

            "You're" would be the appropriate verbiage in that context. I am sure they complained...I rarely let blatant lies be passed along in these forums. I am sure that annoys both you, and them. It amuses me.
            It is easy to fight...bring up actual facts with real resources and put in the effort in the debate. I seriously doubt you will do so, however.

    I don't think so.

    I think he's got a double-triple-whammy going on. I know it sounds nuts, but I think he's going after the REAL al-queda...which is the CIA inside our own country and that of others, who are really out to destroy America.

    And you see--he can do it playing their game...since they set up muslims as the boogey-man...he can get all the CIA-planted ones he wants!

    It's quite ingenious really....I always thought he was a mad genius.

    And if the Koch-Suc*ers complain, why they'll look un-American!

    In order to be sucessful in life, business or financial, one must look at all the evidence, weight both sides of the fence, then form an intelligent decision. By your own admission several times, you said you will not look at evidence presented to you based in facts. Being that closed minded one could not be successful to become even a thousandaire

    How do you know "what the flip it is" when you once again admit you do not see or read it? You cannot know what it is until you see or read it. just thinking its so does not make it so. By your thought process, a criminal in jail who thinks he is not guilty,"Which btw....their "facts" are Lies, propaganda and spin", should be let go despite all the factual evidence that shows he is in fact guilty. I bet you are the kind of person that looks at a food like a veggie and says you do not like it or hate it without even tasting it. Know way to know unless you taste it.

    Actually we have lived it for 50 out of 50 years. They ALL lie in Washington. Thats why people need to look up the facts in what they say. If you think the Dems do not lie and are 100% truthful lets see, Obama, Me Clinton, Mrs Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, Biden, Patrick Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Pelosi, Reed and the list can go on, but it would take up too much space. I can also make a list as long of Repubs. So as I sadi, they all lie
