The only people who couldn't like that speech and especially like Michelle Obama would be Republicans and racists.
What could Cindy McCain say? That she fell in love with John when she realized that he was still married and cheating on his disfigured wife who was still recovering? How it's a beautiful day when she receives her inheritance checks in the mail and counts her free fortune when she's flying around in her private jet? Who could vote for those despicable humans?
Let's talk about Ted Kennedy. Talk about strength, honor and fighting and pulling it together in the face of ultimate adversity. Wow. He's amazing.
Tell me what Kristol said?
Wow! What an historic time. I'm so proud of Hillary. Not only for coming "this close" to being the first female presidential nominee (and possibly president), but for putting to rest any question in the first few lines of her speech of who to vote for. An amazing speech from an amazing woman.
I'm sure the trolls will be out in force. It's sad. We have Hillary, a woman who has achieved so much, and to have the first African-American man, hopefully, be the president of the United States. It's an incredible time in history. I'm young, but the historical significance shines big and bright - and I'm so proud to be alive to see it.
Right now on MSNBC is talking to the beautiful African-american woman/political analyst Michelle Bernard about Hillary's brilliant speech...and the way he's looking at her....he is in LOOOOOOOVE with her!!! It's kind of cute!!
What is McCain going to do FOR you? Take a way reproductive rights? Probably make the pill illegal? Vote against equal pay? What, exactly will he do FOR you? And you know what? He's a warmonger - yes - he could kill us.
Good point. They are doing the right thing by pacing themselves. I'm sure the Repuglican convention will be all attack, all the time. That's because it takes the focus off them and their policies - because they have nothing of value to give the American people - so of course they will want to take all focus off themselves except for POW, POW, POW, POW.
The Democrats are doing the right thing. It should NOT be all about the Republicans/McCain. Then we'd just be talking about them and not us. Michelle Obama did exactly what she needed to do - let people get to know the Obama family as people. That was absolutely necessary.
Clinton was brilliant. She did exactly what was necessary - completely unifying the party, and starting the cuts into McCain, while showing the pride and honor and the party truly for all Americans (except the very wealthy) - the Democratic party.
The repuglicans cannot do this because they are only for the very wealthy - not health care, not workers, not women - nothing.
You will get your red meat with Bill and Biden. It's necessary, needs to be heard and will be. I'm looking forward to it.
Just the ones who don't give a rats ass about anyone else. There are many, many wealthy people who want universal health care, out of the "war", etc.
AHAHAHAHA! Exactly!!! You nailed it.
wounded Iraq veteran - is doing an excellent job. VERY impressive and is very specific of what Bush and McCain have NOT done.
Wow! What a great speaker. Actually the first time I got a little teary. Great night so far!!!
But Bill Clinton - well, I wish he could run again. He was incredible in presentation and message.
Kerry!!! When the hell did he finally show up??
And Biden - a man's man, a woman's man, a people's man...
I can't WAIT for the debates!
My nerves are gone. This is different than 2004.
The shittiest and most stupid response of all responses ever given!
Biden will destroy her, nicely, in the debates. And the obvious question will be, is she ready to be president of the old bastard dies? No.
I love how they are stupid to believe that they think Hillary supporters had to do with Hillary being a woman and therefore will glom on to another woman. Stupid is as stupid does!!
She's inexperienced, Alaska is a clusterfuck, and all you have to do is ask the question - is she rady to be president when McCain drops dead? No. Biden - yes.
One question - if it came down to it - who would you rather see take over as president?
Palin or Biden?
Be honest.
I'm watching the footage of her and McCain - and McCain looks like a deer in the headlights.
It's a insulting to women for them to think "Oh, lots of people liked Hillary so they'll like this other woman." Because that's exactly what they're doing.
And how can she do this with a 3 month old, with Down's syndrome!. It was really sad to see her sister holding that baby. My friend's baby is 4 months old, without down's, and that baby needs her mom - they need a LOT of time and attention. Isn't she still breastfeeding for god's sake?? The Christian conservatives, who are all about the "mom should stay home with the kids", would eviscerate a Democrat female who did what Palin is doing.
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PUMA"
Puma's are Republicans. They are an invention. Period. On Hardball they just had a so-called "Puma" on a panel and she looked like a creepy Manson follower.
If PUMA's vote for McCain just because he put a woman on the ticket (as if ANY woman will do) then they are idiots to vote against a ticket that will ELIMINATE many women's rights.
AHAHAHAAAA! I laughed out loud!! Well said!!
