  • Obama's Nuclear Options

    The right-wing smear machine talks a whole lot about unsavory Obama associations. (Wright, who I actually think is hardly that big a deal, and Ayers, which is total BS association.) But we never hear about McCain's "October Surprise".Here's just a...more »

  • Kathleen Sebelius: My Guilty Reasoning

    I've been advocating Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius for VP for a while now.Part of the reasoning behind Sebelius is that she is well-qualified. She has served in elected office for 22 years. She served in the Kansas House of Representatives...more »

    An interviewer asks: "Senator Obama, why did you not leave Reverend Wright's church when you heard about these statements. What does it say about your judgment that you affiliated yourself with Reverend Wright even though you knew he had controversial...more »

  • The Best of Obama

    I wanted to put together a post full of some of my favorite off-the-cuff Youtube moments of Obama on the stump. (Off-the-cuff and on-the-stump mean the same thing, don't they?)  He can be a pretty funny and(at times) goofy guy....more »

  • AWESOME AD! That ad murders McCain.

    I think we're going to see Rev. Wright much sooner than anticipated.

  • I like this ad. But I want Barack to run an ad I call "Contempt". Barack speaks straight into the camera with a mean-looking glare, venom dripping from his lips.

    "Tonight I want to talk about contempt. The contempt of this disgrace of a president, the contempt of his disgrace of a party, and the contempt of the disgraceful campaign my opponent has elected to run. My opponent thinks contempt is a crazy cussing preacher. I'll tell you what contempt is."

    "Contempt is lying to this nation to send her to war, assuming the occupied will greet us as liberators, and then expressing full confidence in a president who stands by while tens of billions are spent and hundreds of thousands are killed."

    "Contempt is hiring Phil Gramm, the man who lobbied for a company that kicked thousands out of their homes, and letting him write your economic plan while he attacks his victims as whiners. Contempt is getting thousands kicked out of their homes, and then gathering lists so you can kick them off the voter rolls too."

    "Contempt is thinking the American people are so stupid that they'd think you will stand up to lobbyists when they run your campaign. Contempt is screwing up our economy with a presidential term of corrupt economic policies and expecting hardworking Americans to stick out their tongues on election day and say, 'Thank you, sir, may I have another?'"

    Knock his teeth out, Barack.

  • NO! Save bi-partisanship for when the other party isn't trying to link your nominee to domestic terrorism.

  • Finally! A+. Obama is finally doing the things that it takes to win.

    I want to see him unload during his convention speech.

  • Wasn't Fiorina also ousted for spying on her employees?

  • This is BS. It's almost like, "Are you trying to lose, Senator?" He better put out a good counter-ad. No weak tea.

    Posted at July 18, 2008 7:07 PM in response to Obama Campaign Hits McCain Iraq Ad As "Misleading," Uncivil

  • Fire Bill Burton. Seriously, this is weak.

    If I had his job, I'd do a point-by-point takedown of the ad.
    1. Barack Obama has attended multiple Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afganistan, while John McCain was absent for every single one.
    2. He was in Iraq 2 years ago.
    3. John McCain also voted against funding when it was attached to a timetable for withdrawal.
    4. Obama's consistent, unflinching position: "1-2 brigades per month, 16 months."
    5. John McCain voted against funding our veterans medical care. He also opposed the new GI bill and failed to even show up to vote on it.

    See, iff Bill Burton had balls he'd take the 5 points I just laid out and turn them into an ad. But that would make to much sense, wouldn't it?

  • If he changed his position, what was his previous position and what is his current position? What changed, exactly?

  • Interesting. That means he must really be cleaning up among younger women.
