Republicans slink into Denver

The GOP has set up a 24-hour rapid-response operation at the Democratic convention, complete with a fence and security guards.

The letters thread is now closed.

I'm sure both teams have their spin machines in place

Rove and Axelrod are almost certainly briefing their troops as we speak. Don't watch cable for the talking points - watch the web. You'll see them there before you see them on tv. Newscasters haven't had an original idea since they read their first blog post. Watch for the ideas that seem to pop up everywhere at once, sometimes with links to obscure sites. I make a game of it: Spot the talking point.

Security Guards?

Because we all know that democrats are known for our violent ways! Watch the idiot media actually treat this like a real story. BTW: To the right wing moron who said that Hillary is going to take over the convention, HER "SUPPORTERS" AREN'T REAL DEMOCRATS! The holdouts are trolls working for you! But then you guys bought the claims that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 so I guess it's too much to ask that you think beyond what's put in front of you.

I sure hope

the Democrats are planning to do the same thing in Minnesota!

The Dems respond in kind during the GOP convention, ya right.

ASSuming the Dems get their shit together, does anyone thing there will be "fair and balanced" coverage in Minnesota? Uh huh, sure. How many talking heads will seek responses from Dems? Will the Dems be "angry"? Will Lieberman be the person chosen to respond for the Democrats (isn't he a Democrat)?

My bet - Chucky Gibson cutting into Biden's first speech as running mate is a leading indicator of what counts as "fair and balanced". After all, we can't have any public criticism connecting Dear Leader to Beta Boy.

Republicans slink into Denver

The GOP is the party of hate. The swift boating republicans do hate well and McSame who promised a clean campaign was only to happy to join the nasty swift-boaters.

I hope people realize McBush is going to give us four more years of hate and debt. A war lover like McCain will push our troops beyond their capability for political reasons.

Cindy McCain spent $750,000 on her credit card in a month! These people know nothing about we middle class Americans struggling in an economy brought on by the very administration McCain is in sync with. Can we afford four more years of this? It's a no-brainer, vote Obama/Biden and let's get back to the America we remember during the Clinton years with prosperity and disposable income.

GOP Vandals

Over the weekend the Obama HQ in St. Paul had it's windows smashed with bricks, and paint splattered about.

Not slink. Slither

I wonder if they brought Ann Coulter. If she's wearing her hiking boots (it's Colorado, after all), then she can leave her Ann-tracks. Say it fast.
