Original article: She's in it to spin it

Clever titles don't make up for lack of content.

Hillary is in it because the economy is tanking, two wars are in progress, people don't have health insurance, global warming is breathing down our necks, she is by far the most capable and knowledgeable candidate, and we can't afford to waste this precious moment of opportunity for the democrats.

Obama just put his name to other people's work. He's already wasted political capital with Wright and Bitter Gate. And he's brought every republican tactic into the democratic party: race baiting, name calling, false accusations, and sleazy electoral startegies, not to mention trying to steal the votes of an entire State. Excuse me. He also does age and gender baiting and is trying to steal the votes of two States.

Bottom line: if I have to listen to Obama's shallow rhetoric for the next four years, I'll join the Wigs and have done with it.

Original article: Look homeward, Obama

Another Obama puff piece in commercial media,

what a surprise.

I especially like how paid journalists can spin irrelevancies to prove anything they want. This time, a vague if not invented civility in Chicago government will somehow be trnsmitted through Obama's shallow rhetoric into the congress, media, and red States. And we'll all step arm and arm into the misty future. Please.

Today on CNN, Hillary's mention of Bill's and RFK's June campaigns is being parsed into a wish that Obama be asassinated.

The shock is that Americans actually listen to this trash and don't run the entire journalist profession out on a rail.

We have a ton political capital now because

most people know the war was a mistake, and they recognoize that the economy is in tatters. But that will change real quick if Obama fails.

Luckily, the democratic party has recognized the sterling worth of Clinton policy. Today's agenda was created almost entirely by the Clinton team. Hillary championed healthcare before it was fashionable. Bill and Hill engineered the most successful economic agenda of our time, which hopefully Obama will also copy. Al has been yelling about climate change like Chicken Little on meth. And Obama wouldn't even have been considered had the Clintons not brought minorities into their administration. So it's ironic to see his young worshippers throw mud like the Missippi on meth. Talk about ingrates.

If people are finally ready for some real change, and if we have the plans to deliver it, most of the credit must go to the Clintons.

It sounds good: adding the most

accomplished and knowledgeable democrats of our time to the ticket. But Obama's young worshippers actually believed the media's childish insults. They're boiling over with hatred for all things Clinton. Without that, the Clintons could step in and help Obama with policy, something he'll need. But the fan base would continue with their false accusations, which would distract attention from critical issues.

The change mantra would be too stupid to discuss

if the establishment were not still trying to foist it on the public.

Obama has not created change. He was absent in both Senate seats, and repeatedly voted to fund the war.

And there's no evidence that he even knows how to create change. He adopted Clinton policies of healthcare and bipartisanship, then ruined them by not making healthcare Universal, and by introducing the red States to Rev. Wright and Bittergate.

For the rest, he never rose above shallow rhetoric and just recited a string of liberal cliches.

The Clintons could help get him elected, and with policy, which he'll need. But Obama's young worshippers were actually convinced by the media smear campaign. They're boiling over with hatred for all things Clinton, and would continue the childish insults and false accusations, which would distract attention from serious issues.

I'm not a woman, and I always said I'd vote

for Obama if necessary. The problem for me is a cultural one. The media smear campaign, the DNCs electoral fraud, Obama's age, race, and gender baiting, and his supporters disgusting insults: this all tells me the party's been taken over by honorless rubes.

That's fine because the Clintons have already shown the party how to govern. Knowledgeable people from their administration will be in Obama's admin; and today's agenda was almost entirely developed by the Clinton team: from fiscal restraint to healthcare reform to green tech (thanks Al) to using government levers to prime the economy.

I'm just not interested in the party much. I'll so miss the Clinton's vast knowledge and flawless reasoning; and I sure don't look forward to eight years of Obama's shallow rhetoric.

The article is old news. Mainstream religion gets along fine with science.

What's interesting is the fire breathing of the atheists who responded.

My Aunt Virginia's blueberry waffles. So you don't have the mental agility for a faith experience. Get over it. And try not to be so insulting toward those who do.

Better yet, get off your lazy asses and do some charity work. But I forget, you're still labouring under a hodgepodge ethical system built on game theory, darwinism, and who knows what else. How tired.

Original article: Rush Limbaugh was right

Obama's young worshippers weren't complaining

when The New Yorker was trashing Hillary and running weekly puff pieces on him, or when the entire media was throwing mud at the Clintons like the Mississippi on meth.

But don't you ever say one word against The Precious.

Actually, I don't care for him, and I never could listen to the shallow rhetoric. But I'm glad he swiped the Clinton's policies during the primary, and I hope he and the party bosses are smart enough to continue the Clinton legislative agenda.

As for the cartoon, it's hysterical. I especially like Angela's hairdo, although they might have shoe horned in the Hollywood crowd sipping Fume and mouth kissing their poodles.

Another point: as a Clinton supporter,

I laughed like crazy at the The Hillary Nut Cracker.

Please. I beg of ye. Obama people, get a life.
