I do remember that and I think it was me that posted that link. YOu have a good memory or great files, or both.

The master of the catty (but content-free) comeback, Iokannan, has gone suddenly quite now that he/she's confronted with strong evidence of how Obama's past is about to rise up and sink him.

Should have nominated Hillary when you had the chance.

Hey, I have a better idea. Rather than an imperfect line through the continent, just let all the Democrats live in your very blue cities.

But you can't have any of the food or other agricultural products we produce in the red states. Gotta produce your own. And we can't have anything you "produce."

We can keep our vehicles running and do without all the Starbucks, bad plays, and froufrou restaurants your produce longer than you can do without the food we produce.

Sounds fair to me.

-...her dad got the distribution rights for beverages from the mob. -

You are correct. That piece is called Haunted by Spirits.

The authors seem to suggest that McCain was inserted into State politics with Hensley cash to be the old man's official bitch.

The Bootlegging Hensleys appear to well-connected in the mob. It's worth a read.

Biden never misses a chance to show us what an idiot he is.

That was a vicious, hugely dishonest speech. Palin is a liar just like the rest of the Repubs. She has absolutely no use for the facts--whether it regards her own life story, foreign affairs, or Obama.

It would have been far more appropriate to call the speech what it was--utterly dishonest, schrill and divisive. Even AP reported on some of her more blatant dishonesties.

But noo--Biden makes nice!!!

Biden is gutless, just like the rest of the Democrats. What a pathetic bunch.

I just emailed a friend and told him the Republi-Goons are wearing novelty hardhats at the convention emblazoned with the slogan "Drill Here Drill Now".

He commented it 'sounded like an invitation for a lobotomy'.

That after Ayers and Obama spent all those millions somewhere, supposedly to improve education in the Windy City, Chicago school performance actually declined.

If that’s all you’ve got it’s pretty lame compared to just the flip-flops that McShamful has made that Jim Montague provided. Votes whether in state or national legislatures are pretty meaningless unless you know the full details and circumstances for each vote. I won’t even waste my time providing you the facts behind Ayers and the other stuff right wing papers have worked so hard to dig up. What is the purpose of wasting time with the past. Just compare the performances of McSame and Obama during this election, and you will see why I call McCain, McShameful.

-oh, forgot to mention ...-

Also forgot to provide a credible link.

But the primary source for the information about Obama and Ayers comes from Steve Diamond, a self-professed leftist and labor organizer.

But yours is the usual response: change the subject, resort to ad hominem attacks, and call people names.

Should have nominated Hillary when you had the chance.

Obama is exposed as (a) the liar he is and (b) the exremist radical he is.

I provided plenty of links, including the most credible of them all in my response to Retired Military Patriot.

These links include pdf copies of the Annenberg Challenge files. Can't get more authentic than that.

Read 'em and weep.

Should have nominated Hillary while you had the chance.

I refused to listen to McPhony's speech. Just reading this AP story shows that all he did was make promises with no substance or realism behind them such as promising to stop the rancor. Right when all he and his campaign does is create rancor and he's going to be just like junior or worse, and he promises to stop it. I have a new nickname for him, McBullshit

They get paid to be here. If we ignore them, they'll go away.

But you can't have any of the food or other agricultural products we produce in the red states.

Yeah, because BLUE states like California are good for nothing except for subsidizing red states with tax dollars.

Puhleeze.

But if you look at the county-by-country map of the 2000 and 2004 elections, you'll see that outside of LA, Santa Barbara, Monterey and the Bay Area (especially Berserkely), California (including the agricultural areas) is mostly red.

As I said, you can have your cities, since that's where most Dems seem to prefer to live.

And if you ADD all the cities (Godless heathens and tax dollar providers) in the Red States they become Blue.

Your point?

One. Low taxes or no taxes for the very rich and big corporations

Two. "Limited government" This is a Republican code word for cutting, eliminating, or privatizing all government programs, including Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, Head Start, veterans programs, children's health care programs, public schools, the post office, etc., etc. It also is code for weak regulatory agencies for the environment, mine safety, airline safety, etc.

Three. "Free markets" This is a Republican code word for a doctrine that encourages American capital to flee to foreign countries to purchase products and services, while closing American manufacturing facilities that produce textiles, steel, automobiles, etc. by well-paid American workers.

Four. "Wedge issues" such as gay marriage, immigration, and patriotism. Republican strategists employ wedge issues to divert attention from the big-three issues. Like a carnival magician, Republican strategists and demagogues play upon the fears and prejudices of Americans to distract them from what is really at stake.

YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN IF...

...you are middle-class or upper-middle class. The Republican Party will throw you sops, like $600 tax rebates to make you believe that they are fighting high taxes. But their core belief is If you were any good at all, you would be rich.

...you are employed by a public school system. The Republican Party would like to privatize the public school system;

...you are employed by a state university or college. Remember the core belief of today's Republican party. They believe that anything done by the government could be done better privately:

...you are a student at a state-supported university

...you own or run a small business. The Republican Party scorns anti-trust, anti-monopoly laws and regulations. Their leaders believe it is part of the divine order for small businesses to be crushed by big ones.

...you are a government employee of the federal government. The Republican Party hates the federal government. That's the reason Republican demagogues constantly tell you that Washington shouldn't tell you what to do. They know they can manipulate state governments easier than then can the federal government;

...you believe in extending federally funded health care to 47 million Americans who lack health-care coverage;

...you are a recipient of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or children's health insurance benefits. Rich Republicans believe you should have saved enough on your own so that you don't need these government benefits.

...you think of yourself as a liberal or a moderate. Don't be stupid. There are no Republican liberals or moderates left in the leadership of the Republican Party.

...you are not a racist or a nativist. However, if you really don't like people who look, think, or talk different, you will feel right at home in today's Republican party.
