Oops

Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden made odd slip-ups in their speeches Saturday.

    Over the top

    Stupid post's like Kopplemans and comments like that knucklehead a few posts ago. McCain can't speak a single sentence without lying, mischaracterizing, flip-flopping or just stumbling like a doddering old fool and this gets a mention. The media is working this nonsense harder than they did for Obama / Clinton. They're making money off the contrived controversies and don't care.

    So go ahead Koppleman. Keep a war-hawking, pandering old radical and the rest of the right in power with your dumbass debasements that you know will get you the all-important pageviews. You'll vote Obama-Biden and say you supported them, but you're full of it. I stopped reading War Room regularly but every now and then I blow it and take a look. Each time I'm rewarded with entries that astound me with their lack of substance. Thanks for nothing.
