Why do we keep re-electing this Stealth Republican? She professes to carrying out the wishes of her constiuents and the American People but she keeps doing Neocon shit like this!!!
I'm embarrassed to be a Californian today!
Geez! Take another hit off the pipe!! What is it about Obama's relative "inexperience" that cheeses you off? If you took a moment to really look at his record you'd find a depth and breadth to his experience--community organizer, civil rights attorney, editor of Harvard Law Review and on and on that, I believe, make him an ideal candidate for POTUS. His campaign is a thing of beauty--well run, capably managed, on message and, above all, resoundingly positive. Can he bring those qualities to the job of President. Everything I've seen says that he can. All that and he's a fine, fine public speaker. What's not to like?
Wow! Now you can string me up for pointing out the facts instead of bloviating about his "cult status".
He'll make a fine president. Just relax.
HIllary is a brilliant politician and strategist. She's got the quals in spades to occupy the OO. Her record in the Senate is one of hard work and compromise. She'd be a fine president.
I make my personal decision based on Iraq so I'm going with Obama.
Really folks, we have an embarrassment of riches this election cycle!! Two smart, aggressive campaigners, both of whom are well qualified to be President. Why don't we all take a deep breath and focus on the POSITIVE aspects of our favorite candidates instead of beating each other up for supporting who we support? Sheesh!
Do ya'll know something about Obama that the rest of us don't? Is there a dark secret that we should know? What's your beef with Barack?
You never come with facts. You come with hot air and insults. Where's your argument? Do you have one? I'd like to hear it because I think we're all a little tired of the empty, juvenile game you're playing.
Give me one good reason to rethink my support for
Obama and I'll thank you for it.
So what's up with the middle name thing? I thought we gave that one up months ago.
Fox worked the Hussein "connection" until hell wouldn't have it and it still didn't stick.
Yeah, his middle name is the same as Saddam. We get it. We just don't care.
It sure bothers you though. So when Chief Justice Roberts intones "Barrack Hussein Obama" during the Swearing In, will your head explode? I can only hope. Ass.
WOW!!!
It is the right, nay, the RESPONSIBILITY, of every American to question the motives of those who serve us. Remember, these folks work for US!! There is NO reason to approach them on bended knee, hat in hand.
At what point in the existence of the Republic did questioning those in power become rude?!?? It is high time questions such as the one asked by that High Schooler get asked.
We should expect serious, measured answers to such questions, not throwaway, fluffy responses.
Huzzah, young lady, Huzzah! Keep holding the bastards feet to the fire!
Time to grow up and take a look around! We're going to lose this if we don't stop tearing our guy down! Who cares when or who? The only thing that matters is that we GET ON BOARD, get enthusiastic about WHOMEVER it is and get OUR GUY elected. Period. End of story until 5 November when we can start up with the bitching and crying again because (surprise!!) it'll be our guy in the White House and we'll need to hold his feet to the fire about a few really important things like the Constitution and the war. We wont' get that chance at all with McCain.
Right this minute we need to suck it up, put away our offended progressive sensibilities and practice our best lockstep. Stop with the juvenile crap already and get a look at the bigger picture.
And so it begins.......
The gloves are off and we're taking the fight straight to them!!! Biden had me on the floor today!! Wow.
If plagiarism is the absolute worst thing they can come up with......well, shucks! Let 'em come!!
Joe Biden is tough! He'll rip your face off and have you thanking him for it when he's done!! What a great pick!! I couldn't be happier. I really wanted to see Hillary chosen but, oh well!! I can get behind Obama/Biden 100%!!!
We are going to beat McCain like a rented mule my friends!!!
Fired up and Ready to GO!!!
Wow. I saw and I still don't believe it. I watched it again and marveled at the complex, thoughtful delivery. Masterful. Decisive. Poignant. Very, Very Real.
Beautifully written and delivered. Barack hit it out of the park and into orbit!!
It's our job now to go out and help him deliver on the promise!!
Apart from Baracks speech itself, I loved the visuals from Mile High. A sea of diversity brought together in one place for one purpose. Just incredibly powerful and uplifting.
Lets go get 'em!
From Ed Rollins: (Who couldn't come up with anything better. This is fun stuff!)
She is blunt, outspoken and charming. And don't assume she can't stand toe-to-toe with Joe Biden. She is a great debater. And she was runner-up for the Miss Alaska title, won Miss Congeniality in that contest and plays the flute.
Hope you kept your flute!
