Guest_snaggletooth : no need to apologize....I was whining! I can't wait to hit the slopes! let it snow!!!
Guest_Belkin : sorry. didn't mean to write 'whining'. I meant 'disappointed'
Guest_Belkin : are you... whining about the lack of snow?
Guest_snaggletooth : Did anyone catch the interview with Rex Rammel on Ch 6 earlier this evening? I've never really been a fan of his but this interview really impressed me. I would vote for him now after hearing what he's about and his stance on the issues. Any thoughts on this?
Guest_snaggletooth : so much for the 6-8 inches of snow we were supposed to get today. I heard Pocatello got a lot more than we did last night and today.
Guest_1062 : Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!...Here comes Santa Claus, etc....
Guest_0313 : Seems like they start earlier and earlier every year. They're even playing Christmas music.

Guest_2486 : I wanna taser a feline and see if it's hair stands up on end like static electicity. hehehe...
Guest_Gato : (from the cans, not the box)
Guest_Gato : PBR armor to all participants.
Guest_Gato : Let's give them all tasers and see who wins. (Last two standing are President and VP.) LOL
easterner : I was, of course, kidding about the "good one"!
easterner : can't we agree that the election is probably going to be a close one and leave it at that??
easterner : such witty repartee in the chat box....
easterner : ooh, good one!
Guest_2Q4U : you obviously don't know very many people than.
Guest_123x : strange, everyone I know wants Obama for president, not old man McBush and Palin the secessionist
Guest_2Q4U : yes, Idaho is a republican state for the most part. besides who wants a liberal obama for president with a relic for a sidekick? not anyone I know.
Guest_2Q4U : negative ad campaigns have been around since the advent of the politician. It's nothing new
Guest_123x : I swear Idahoans would even vote for Bill Clinton in Idaho if he ran with an "R" next to his name
Guest_123x : and what is most disappointing is that most Idahoans are so redneck stupid that they will still vote for Risch despite his actions and rhetoric
Guest_123x : it's just more trash talk from a negative campaign (and I'm not saying the Dems do any better), but these Republicans have a "win at any cost" mentality no matter if they lose their supposed high morals in the process of winning
Guest_123x : No, they have to crap on LaRocco's campaign (desperate) and phrase their response to make it sound like LaRocco actually engineered the ad and is tied to the ad.
Guest_123x : Risch's team cannot just say "we think these ads are wrong in content and the group is one of the most liberal groups in America so take that into account when you hear it."
Guest_123x : "Larry LaRocco's desperate campaign has gotten help from one of America's most liberal groups to try to buy this race. Idahoans won't appreciate that and they'll see right through it."
Guest_123x : But the ad is run by an out of state organization not connected with other senate candidates, not endorsed by Risch's opponents, so how does the Risch campaign respond?
Guest_123x : Some out of state group is running an ad against Jim Risch, highlighting how he raised the sales tax on us, okay nothing false there despite Risch probably wishing they wouldn't bring it up
Guest_123x : I am so tired of these negative political campaigns, and especially the trash talk they do.
Guest_439.2 : I wonder if we can implant a GPS microchip in him?
Guest_9813 : I saw him having coffee with Jimmy Hoffa at the Dixie Diner last Tuesday.
Guest_Bird Dawg : Last week he was in the aviary at Tautphaus!
Guest_Gato : I think I saw him riding around with Elvis around Shelley during Spud Days...?
Guest_439.2 : Instead of Where's Waldo, shall we play "Where's Eagle?"
Guest_Belkin : wise guy, eh? why, I oughta..... you get outta here!
Guest_2486q : chicckaachaaaaa. ...
Guest_Speralta1996 : LOSERS
Guest_Speralta1996 : Any `1 here?
Guest_4085 : I need 15 reasons why will u guys help me?
Guest_4085 : Hey, Guys i need help look i have a assignment and it says why arent cell phones allowed in school
Guest_3477 : i think if we just remember that everyone has their own opinions and leave it at that we'll be ok. Like cheek said, there's no point in making a negative comment about a negative comment. That's how the last argument broke out.
Guest_Cheeky : no, dogs and kids.... got a lil outta hand.
easterner : wait, what negative comment? in the chatbox???
Guest_Cheeky : we were doing so well until the name calling broke out.....good job guys. I never understood the point in making a negative comment about a negative comment.
Guest_Cheeky : love is in the air.....
Guest_2486 : must've missed ya. Oh well, best of luck to you. Stop back by with any questions, there's usually someone here that can help answer them. Take care.
Guest_2486 : where are you moving from if you don't mind me asking?
Guest_2486 : but many people outside of town have horses and there are a number of places to ride in the area
Guest_2486 : what do you mean by horse friendly? nobody rides their horses in town if thats what you mean.
