Original article: Clinton to aim at McCain

Now this is what I've been waiting for!

Hillary needs to, and can, rip that fake "maverick" mask off of McSame.

McSame will drop a load in his Depends (TM) after Hillary gets her claws in that worthless old geezer.

This is also a HUGE opportunity for Hillary to undo a lot of the damage she did to herself by going "kitchen sink" negative during the primaries. And even though the repuglicans pretending to be her supports at the convention are not completely the fault of Hillary (hey, scumbag repuglicans will be scumbag repuglicans) she could have done more to make it harder for them to impersonate Democrats at the convention. Everyone saw this repuglican dirty trick coming, (except for the network mcnews organizations).

If she can land some good body shots on old man McSame she can once again enter the good graces of the Democratic party.

If she focuses on herself and her "supporters" and does not rip McCain, and the Democratic candidate were to lose in November then she will, with a lot of justification, be pointed to as a major reason why the Democrats blew it.

rupert_c + calling anyone creepy = kettle calling pot black

but in a really hilarious way repuglicans can't see from their glass houses.

Please God,

let the McSame choose Romney as VP.... oh please.

He's such an empty suit even McSame ridicules him in public.

Do you think if McSame were to become president that he would slap Romney and tell him to shut the hell up whenever he entered the room?

... or better yet, Romney could be McSame's "depends boy" and change his diapers every evening... I hear Cindy is getting a little tired of it.

Let it be Mitt

and his merry band of draft dodging spawn.

Mitt means of repug loss, unfortunately I think Rove knows this and won't let it be Mittins.

"Don't bother showing up you cultist SOB, just show us your money"

---K. Rove

So what sort of freak will the repugs trot out????

Original article: When is a plot not a plot?

Holy Crap!

These idiots are the poster children for the exact kind of racist idiots who the repugs reel in with their hate and divisive messages. They are half of the repuglican party for God's sake!

And the FBI doesn't think this is a big deal?!??!???

Great Speech,

Matthews seemed like a kid who had his favorite toy taken away, strung together several awkwardly worded shallow sentences, the whole time trying to figure out a way to "get back on his "Hillary's gona wreck the convention" message.

For that alone, I thank you Hillary.

Original article: How it happened

Fine job.

Every news channel is gushing over how well the Democrats have run the convention so far... except....of course FAUX

If you tune into Faux you would think that a combination riot / food fight / bloodbath were going on.

Does what Faux news reports have ANYTHING to do with reality?

Original article: Who is Sarah Palin?

This is a huge miscalculation by Rove and the repuglicans

I think they actually bought into own hyped BS that there are millions of pissed off Hillary voters who in a frenzy of misandry will flock to vote for McSame just because he has a woman on his ticket.... WOW, what stupidity.

She's stands against everything that Hillary is about, freedom of choice, responsible government (already under investigation! H O L Y C O W) standing up for working people.. you name it.

I predict they will gain about 47 votes from supports of Hillary Clinton, they will lose about 1,000,000 votes from fundamentalist who can't stand to see a woman out of the kitchen.

Original article: What Sarah Palin means

McSame is starting to believe his own parties talking points.

"She lets the GOP continue to dream of making inroads among Hillary Clinton's female constituency."

--Joan Walsh

Good point Joan, but I think a little better way to say it would be:

(She lets the GOP continue to fantasize about making inroads among Hillary Clinton's female constituency)

The repugs and corp. media slobbered all over themselves hoping to see the huge breakdown in Democratic party unity during the convention... it never happened. Why? Because it was always no more than a cynical construct of repuglican strategists like Rove.

A few dozen unidentified folks wondering around behind Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman's set outside of the convention wearing "PUMA" shirts does not equal any degree of significant disunity. (strangely enough, a lot of those "PUMA" types that claimed to be Democrats showed up at a repuglican sponsored party shortly after that... how would a Democrat even know where the repuglicans were holding get to gathers in Denver during the convention??)

To think that Democratic women are going to vote for McSame because he put a woman who is ani-choice, creationist, right wing hard liner from the most corrupt state republican party in the country (maybe history) shows the degree of contempt repuglicans have for women's intelligence. Geez

Original article: John McCain's female card

Ding ding, we have a winner!

"McCain's move looks bold, but it might be desperate -- and based on a fundamental misreading of the political landscape. Ironically, McCain may have credulously swallowed the media's over-hyped story about how angry, hysterical PUMAS were so irrationally bitter at Obama that they were prepared to vote for McCain."

- Dary Kamia

Yes yes yes! That is exactly correct... and not just because that's exactly what I've been saying. Its easy to get a pack of "journalists" to obsessively chase a false story and a few repuglican trolls around the streets outside the Democratic convention pretending to be Democrats. No, none, nada, not one Democratic votes are going to consider for a second voting for McSame on the basis of this cynical choice.

This is the biggest political miscalculation the repuglicans have made in years, and I for one could not be happier.

The elephant in the room

"Hey Elephantman

Are you this Elephantman?:

http://www.slate.com/id/2198949/

If so, thanks for foisting this travesty on all of us."

---Abagardo

Great find! That's too funny. What a loser!

He shall from this moment forward be known as:

"Elephantboy"

PS: Thank you Elephantboy, you accidentally did something useful for once in your life.

I knew you reminded me of someone. Keep up the good work... and stop touching yourself for God's sake.

(If that's not you, my apologies to Kent.)
