"They" saved the planet????

If "someone did that" should Bachmann have at least honored that "someone" with the proper article "He"?

And while Christians argue that He saved people I don't remember the part in the New Testament where He saved the planet.

She just shows her stupidity every time she opens her mouth.

"The American people expect and deserve no less. "

Yes, Senator McCain, the American people DO expect more. Yes, Senator McCain the DO deserve more---from you.

Senator, this is not the time for school yard taunts and double dares. Americans expect a whole lot more from their next president. The stakes are too high; our problems too serious.
Is this how you will deal with Ahmadinejad?
With taunts and dares?
Is this how you will deal with Bin Laden? With taunts and dares?
Is this how you will deal with Congress? With taunts and dares?

I am prepared to debate the issues with you on the national stage. THe question is are you ready?

Why not a spoof campaign ad?

John McCain presents his new Social Security Plan:

Don't depend on a government handout!
Don't rely on a government pension!
My plan assures you a bontiful retirement.

Dump your wife and marry a young beautiful heiress.

Is it stupidity or is it old age? Only his wife knows for sure.

IT is only the very wealthy who can be nonchalant about not paying property taxes on a vacation home and like Lenora Helmsley they view the world very differently than those many Americans who are now fearful of losing the only home they have.

The McCains are not average Americans but average Americans might not know it. We hear only about John flipping burgers at their down home ranch--no arial photos please!--yet we heard endlessly about John Edward's expensive haircuts and were regaled with photo spreads of the lavish homes of John Kerry's wife. These candidates were labeled as being somehow tainted for public services because they must lack true empathy for the average Joe. Yet we have heard nothing of the McCains having seven homes. Where is the Newsweek spread for us to ogle their luxurious lifestyle? Where are the photos of that corporate jet Cindy lends to her husband every week like it was merely the family Volvo? Where are the charges of out-of-touch elitism? Where is the outrage that would be expressed were the Obamas to be in arrears on their property taxes? Is there some type of MSM standard that states being wealthy as a Democrat is a stigma but being a wealthy Republican is a badge of honor making them fit for public service?

I would say this is evidence Hillary is NOT the VP choice. Why?

PSD would not want to work for Hillary after being fired and Hillary would have to find it uncomfortable as well.

I think this appointment may indicate a true outsider is being considered as VP because unlike a Biden he or he will not already have a C of S who knows the ways of Washington and will need someone during the campaign who does know the game. This VP candidate could be a governor who doesn't know DC politics or maybe someone from the military who is not particularly versed in running a campaign.

It could indicate a Biden like choice, however, who would need his own Chief of Staff left in place to keep his senate office running.

PSD can advise the VP choice on how to run and co-ordinate their VP campaign with Obama's campaign.

Also . . . she helped run the campaign we admired not the one that was put in place when she was fired.

That she is Latino is a bonus that can only help.

I found it unnerving to watch McCain's eyes scan the TelePrompTer. After all his years in the political arena he looks like a rookie--an old rookie--but a rookie none the less.

Actually it is the hate she is generating that I hate.

Were she to conceded graciously tonight and tell her supporters to get behind the winner( if Obama hits the 2118) I would be all for giving her a key job in the new administration. Heck I would support Obama assisting in putting to bed her $20-40 million (?) debt she has racked up but reports today say she will not. SHe plans to keep making her case and trying to steal delegates all the way to the convention. This is a woman you admire? You want someone so fixated on winning for Hillary and Hillary alone-- Democrats be damned? She is going to be working against Democratic interests and by that aiding McCain. I should be delighted with her????? Come on.

Posted at June 3, 2008 1:26 PM in response to Hillary's hubris is what defeated her not some conspiracy against women.

I agree with your take on this, Acanuck.

I can understand why Hilary supporter feel he is an empty suit compared to their candidate. Obama doesn't talk policy details. His style--which set him so apart in a competitive field-- is visionary rather than detailed. But when he needs to be wonky he can be because he has actually thought out the policy details he would pursue. (They are in his policy papers.) What Hillary failed to realize until it was too late is Americans are ready to be inspired. We have been embarrassed and humiliated by the actions of the present administration. We want to believe we can redeem our good name in the world. Hillary's competence was not enough.

Posted at June 1, 2008 3:32 AM in response to An honest question for Clinton supporters

As a 60-year-old woman I too have traversed the spectrum from joy at the availability of great choices for the Democratic nominee to despair about who Clinton has shown herself to be. I too have threatened at times not to vote for her, but I am asking everyone who is pledging a protest vote or non vote take a deep breath and open your eyes.

Take a good look at McCain. THe MSM has labeled him a Maverick. He is given an easy pass on his actions because of it. Usually the line runs " well yes McCain HAS lots of lobbyist working for him but he hates them in principle and only uses them because political circumstances force him to do so." This the-devil-made-me-do-it schtick is McCain's stock-in- trade way of appearing devoted to high standards while in reality being anything but. Look at his actual record. If you think his saying his hero is Teddy Roosevelt means he will be a reformer himself you are wrong. His actual actions and voting record should make any Democrat cringe. Think about who has become his BFF. Is Lieberman the kind of Democrat we want as our model going forward? DO you like his DINO politics? THese two represent a kind of politics that make even Bush look truthful.

Obama supporters are holding on to the hope that we have found in him a candidate who is our last chance to rise above the huckster politics of someone like McCain who is merely the newest front for everything we have come to detest from the Republican side. We are also Democrats who have watched in horror as Hillary decided she wanted the presidency so desperately she became willing to walk through the deepest swamp to get it not caring how mucky she became doing so. Of course she frequently praises McCain. They are both slogging along the same path.

So I am asking everyone who is considering a protest vote for McCain or Nadar or even not voting if Hillary is or is not the nominee to think carefully about your throwaway vote. I truly believe we are at a tipping point. We are like a car hanging over the edge of a precipice. Don't give us the final push.
