OH! The Outrage!
[Read the article: Angry PUMAs on the prowl in Denver]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"broom-riding succubi" - rebecca traister
"clinton dumb-a**es" - woman on a bench
"whining b****es" - salonista
I had to look up succubi, ...nice one becky.
These quotes provide a true image of the false compassion, the false posers, and a lot of the false outrage we have heard from the democratic party the last 8 years.
You guys are funny.

Togetherness....HA!
[Read the article: Angry PUMAs on the prowl in Denver]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He said: "Suppose you're a voter, and you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?"
Then, perhaps mindful of how his off-the-cuff remarks might be taken, Clinton added after a pause: "This has nothing to do with what's going on now." - Bill Clinton, today, in Denver.
what a man.

Rumor? ...No, not a rumor ...Spin.
[Read the article: "No way, no how, no McCain"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...quiet rumors that her husband is still smarting over the bitter primary race..." - Joan Walsh
clinton poses a hypothetical re. two candidates, one is supposedly more electable than the other, but the lesser of those two is the nominee. He does this in the midst of the democratic convention, and closes with "This has nothing to do with what's going on now.".
Yeah, right buddy.
If you are engaging in spin, you refer to this as a "rumor".
Tonight we get to here bill talk about himself. ...again.

Wheeeeeeere's Johnny?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey, when is John Edwards going to speak?
I can't find him on the schedule.
I was looking forward to hearing him speak about his heart-felt concern for people other than himself.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]garrison's right, the truth is marching on.
What he doesn't seem to realize, is that it has left him in the dust.

Obama's Plan - read it yourself. George Will was right.
[Read the article: Ain't no wind in T. Boone Pickens' sails]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As the joseph romm states, George Will asks; "But back to requiring this or that quota of energy from renewable sources. What will that involve? "
Challenge: Read obama's energy plan, and based on that plan, try answering Will's question.
Joseph Romm states; "Conservatives believe that if they haven't seen something happen yet, it can't possibly happen."
You got it wrong joe. Will is not stating that it cannot happen, he is asking how it will come about. Will makes the point that simply declaring a new requirement, does not result in a solution. Obama does not discuss the implications to this new requirement, nor offer specifics as to how it would be reached.
obama's plan uses the word "wind", once. (link below)
obama's plan includes;
1. Burning coal - hello co2.
2. Bio-fuels - less dirty, not clean.
3. Increased taxing of oil companies (think that will make gas cheaper?)
4. Going after oil traders.
5. Release oil from the strategic reserve (what could be more important than lowering gas prices?)
6. Encourage more drilling by imlpementing use-it or lose-it oil leases.
7. Develop more nuclear energy.
8. Construct an Alaskan pipeline.
Sounds like John McCain.
Hey, joe. Follow your advice. Read this -> Barack Obama: New Energy for America

Not enough complaining and eye-gounging going on to satisfy glenn. . . . excluding the PUMAs, of course.

Let's talk Experience
[Read the article: McCain's Palin pick is the epitome of tokenism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please continue making "experience" a key factor when evaluating the candidates.
obama? two term senator
Palin? 1 1/2 years as governor
But, of course, Palin isn't running for President. Neither should obama being running with such a thin resume.
Please continue talking "experience".

obama's thinner
[Read the article: McCain's Palin pick is the epitome of tokenism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]@Jameka - thanks for the correction re. obama's thin resume.
@others - obama is a lawyer... and that's a good thing?
@everyone - Palin could have aborted her child, born with Down's syndrome. She didn't. ...what that tells me is that she clearly cares for others, more than herself.
Again, Palin is not running for President. Thin resume obama is.

@AlecsMom
[Read the article: McCain's Palin pick is the epitome of tokenism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No, a-mom, not for giving birth to a child with Down's syndrome.
The admirable act was to not reject (abort, terminate, pick a gentler word if you want), that child.
Thanks for at least referring to this human being as a child.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"How many Republicans magically seem to haunt Salon's letter pages in an election year"
My posts date back to May, 2007. Previous posts were anonymous, but I got tired of salonistas, with user names like "cocktail fruit", telling me that it was cowardly to post anonymously.
Another liberal theory bites the dust, scat man.

Who's Worried?
[Read the article: John McCain's female card]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sounds like the salonistas are.
They're always angry, often hate filled, but now they sound worried.
Funny to listen to the sexist rants coming from the supposed enlightened among us.

Should Obama have picked Hillary?
[Read the article: Should Obama have picked Hillary?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Only if he wanted to win. Hillary had millions of votes in the primaries. obama ignored her.
Clearly, obama doesn't have the good judgement his disciples believed he had.

Telling the Truth = Bad Judgement : Joan Walsh
[Read the article: Obama's perfect pitch on Palin]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]According to joan:
"But it's also a story because Sarah Palin made it one, releasing a statement confirming her daughter's pregnancy ostensibly to dispel "Internet" rumors that Bristol is the mother of her infant son Trig. That shows questionable judgment on her part."
Sarah Palin corrects the gross lies posted by the daily kos, and joan concludes that Palin exhibited bad judgement by doing so. Apparently, Sarah Palin should not tell the truth.
You are wrong joan. Allowing the lies to grow, fed by the hate filled people that want the story to be true, would be bad judgement.
Sarah's statement did not reveal any secret that her daughter, their family, and their community did not already know about. It was meant to quell the rabid vermin feeding on the lies from the daily kos.
Why quell that beast?, ...well read the letters posted here. You will see that there are lemmings in this world who actually believed, or still think it possible, that Trig is not the child of Sarah Palin.
It takes a lack of critical thinking, and a decision making process fueled by base emotions, to reach that conclusion, to give credence to the daily kos lie. In other words, it takes a salonista.
Don't let hate drive you.
