Let's no forget how stupid the press is, and how easily they are swayed by the manipulation of the McCain propaganda machine. They didn't become his base for no reason. poodles.

But never mind, McCain is toast.

She was ENDORSED by Ted Stevens.

Palin is the Big Oil pick, she'll make and push the case for drilling in ANWR, which she calls a vast empty plain. That she's a woman is seen as a side benefit, an extra.

The Palin Pick just confirms that in the Republican Party, the VP slot stands for Venal Petroleum.

The Democratic Party brand is not synonymous with the Clintons, news flash for you.

The Clinton imprint on our party is part of what hamstrung Al Gore.

Anyone who believes that Hillary Clinton would be ahead of John McCain, subject to swiftboating about "sniper fire" "NAFTA flip flopping" "corrupt Chinese donors" "John McCain is qualified to be President" "failure to control her own campaign expenditures" "crying in NH" "Middle Eastern donors to the Bill Clinton Library" "Millions in Bill Clinton speaking fees" "Clinton was Jane Fonda anti-War while POW POW POW", "Clinton never been battle tested" etc etc etc is crazy. McCain would have run on the 1960s & 1970s.

Democratic Presidential candidates, including Bill Clinton, have always run behind the brand. What is surprising is that for a total political unknown, and an African American, Barack Obama is doing as well as he is. He'll be our next President. I'm a democrat. I believe in the power of our Party's message, in our ability to bring our country out of the miseries of the last 8 years of Bush, to a new hope and a new future for the benefit of the many, not the few.

Posted at August 25, 2008 10:53 PM in response to Howard Wolfson Confirms Rift Between Bill Clinton And Obama

He's fit to hang around on a bus tour with his buddies eating cream puffs and telling old stories. He is fit to fly around in his wife's private plane and fritter away his time and pension money playing craps. He is fit to do all of that, but not much more.

The guy is a walking advertisement for retirement. Problem is, he is the Republican nominee and they are willing to put millions and millions of dollars into propping him up so they can continue the destruction of our environment and economy.

McCain is smart enough and ambitious enough (like GW Bush, he has severe Daddy issues) and ruthless enough to lie and cheat his way to power. Once he gets there, he'll be worse than Bush, because McCain has no governor save his own wants and hates. McCain feels his years as a POW entitles him to do whatever he wants whenever he wants and f-you if you don't like it.

The von Clinton Family Singers. They travel as a pack, when one of them is President, all of them is President, when one of them runs for President, all of them run for President, when one of them loses, they all demand a major role in the convention of the winners.

Hey I get, Senator Clinton and President Clinton speaking at the convention, but their kid? Because she was a surrogate? What not have Mark Penn introduce Senator Clinton, he had more to do with her success than almost anyone else.

It's like you've been reading Roget and decided to string some words together in an incoherent attempt to sound, well, your version of, cough, smart.

You probably don't know this, but you don't make any sense. From both a rhetorical and moron on the street point of view.

Posted at August 11, 2008 12:58 PM in response to Bob Kerrey: McCain "Can Deal With Crisis"

I feel sorry for their personal misfortunes, drawn out into the public eye.

I feel angry at their political decisions in handling this personal misfortune, as an act of hubris and recklessness. So certain where they that John was so unique that the political threat posed by exposure of his affair as an October surprise, that they repeatedly lied about his affair to the public. Reckless, because, apparently, Andrea Mitchell said on Hardball that "everyone knew about this", so the McCain camp did too.

Can we please be more like the French, where John, at the beginning of the campaign, admits to the affair and then Dem voters get to weigh whether it matters or not, we get to make a decision about our President fully informed? Sarkozy traipsed around Europe with his mistress before his election, and still he won. The French don't mind adultery, they mind hypocrisy. I'm with them on this. I don't like that he cheated on his wife while she had cancer, but I dont' think it makes him unfit to be President. Running around talking about family values while you're cheating on your wife is the kind of Republican hypocrisy that I can do without.

No soap for you, radio.

This is all so sad because it was so avoidable.

"Yes, liberal media. The director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism marveled today at the media's imbalanced coverage favorable to McCain"

Tom Rosenstiel did not "marvel today at the media's imbalanced coverage favorable to Obama (sic)." I expect a retraction and correction from you.

Rosenstiel never said that the coverage Obama received was more favorable than the coverage McCain received. He simply said there was more coverage of Obama, and as Ripper notes, more coverage does not equal more favorable coverage.

Here's the link to PEJ site that does a weekly review of the media coverage. http://journalism.org/node/11881
As you can see the headline for this past week was: PEJ Campaign Coverage Index: July 7 - 13, 2008
Gaffes Drove the Campaign Narrative Last Week, with the leading story covered: Jesse Jackson's negative comments about Obama, and subsequent blowback.

This is the typical problem with republicans, you lazily rely on second or third hand information, then you deliberately exaggerate and distort a statement made by a respected organization to lend credence to your ridiculous and false claim. If you could only do the kind of basic rsearch necessary when making a claim, you might save yourself further embarrassment. But I guess your party reflects the qualities of its supporters.

Posted at July 20, 2008 10:51 PM in response to The liberal media does it again. Maliki's withdrawal comments misinterpreted

One more thing, watch TIME "reporters" Mark Halperin and Jay Carney go after Obama with a biased fury for the next few months. Halperin hates Obama, and he's starting to get called on it, and Carney is his poodle and does as his master bids.

Tonight on MSNBC Carney asserts that "no one has disagreed more with Bush" so the claims that Obama makes of a Bush 3rd term are just false. No one? No one? Really? McCain has a 95% voting record in supporting Bush. Is 5% what Carney considers courageous independence?

Posted at July 18, 2008 1:38 AM in response to GOPers, McCain Camp Complain That Press Favors Obama!

Hillary pushed that meme, and MSM thin-skinned lemmings that they are, immediately rushed to put forward a whole new tack of "cynical toward Obama" to prove they are "fair and balanced" just like FOX News.

McCain saw this worked for Clinton, heck why not a 2fer. Unfortunately, the press are too stupid to get suckered twic...oh, no. Expect even more "Obama is like Bush" "Obama is a Socialist?" and "Obama isn't like you and me" stories and more stories about McCain "John is a true maverick, not matter what lies Obama spreads about him, did I say he was a POW?" "McCain refines his positions because he is a wise man, Obama flip flops" and "Mac is a common man, just like us, he eats barbeque, he swears, and he flies around in his wife's private jet, yes, but he carries his own bag in the airport".
