More Work For John Stewart
The GOP has been calling Obama as a celebrity. Ridiculing him for the large number of people excited by his candidacy. Now, the GOP swoons over Palin, impressing themselves and touting the large number of people excited by HER candidacy. John Stewart, your hypocrisy...more »

Are You Experienced
I have to fess up. I was just watching Morning Joe. Scarborough and Buchanan roll out the standard questioning of Barack's foreign policy experience. Scarborough uses JFK as an example, pointing out that when Kennedy was elected he had served...more »

No Grand Slam
Hillary gave a very good speech. However, I don't agree with those pundits who felt it was an out-of-park grand-slam home run. I think the apprehension about the tone it would take has produced a little bit of an overreaction...more »

I may have missed this, but did Obama ever provide an explanation for his vote to give FISA immunity to the telecoms?...more »

I read somewhere that while a 23 year old Barack was community organizing the citizens of South Chicago, Palin, who would have been about 20, was probably running in beauty pageants. Think about that!

It's because he knows that no one else is listening.

Excellent post.
The lying at the GOP convention was more consistently blatant, shameless, and widespread than I can recall ever hearing from them before.
I began thinking about what I had just heard, and wondered why their lying had become so extreme. What popped in to my head is - they lie so much because the truth damns them so much.
Some on the left feel that the country hasn't quite yet experienced enough pain from Republican rule. That having a real Progressive renaissance will require one more disastrous GOP presidential term for a solid majority of Americans to finally "get it".
The problem with that view is it assumes the country will actually SURVIVE a McCain/Palin administration. I'm not so sure.
I do believe the GOP is on the verge of a long overdue self-destruction, but also agree with you that Democrats should be very active in pushing them there.

'Brands' are very strong. Everything about Obama says change and that has been his steady brand for 19 months.
McCain's, heretofore, consistent brand has been experience. His attempting to now co-opt Obama's well established brand only serves to confuse McCain's. It will produce severe cognitive dissonance in voters this late in the contest.

Ever seen a chicken wildly thrashing after having its head chopped off? Well, the Republicans know their necks are on the chopping block and the ax man cometh in only 60 days.

I say, let him talk more. The more this fool talks, the more right-wing he reveals himself and the Republican party to be.
Keep yaking, Steve. Way to lure in those independent voters for McCain.

Or even John Kerry, who was AT LEAST as much a war hero as McCain. The Republicans spat on Kerry's heroism. Every hypocritical Republican S.O.B. (a triple redundant identification) can eat shit and die, as far as I'm concerned.

I didn't hear too many attacks on Biden at the GOP convention. They focused everything on Obama. Obama should do the same. Target McCain and mostly ignore Palin. You hit Palin for free simply by reiterating her policy agreement with McCain.
