'Cause he is truly the embodiment of the dumb bunny. Too bad his wife, Ann, isn't running. She is actually a human being with brains.

And tonight Hillary is gonna put to rest all the lies about her support for McCain.

"John McCain earned his homes through the hard work, insight and fortitude of his family and himself, and Barack Obama got a special deal from a convicted felon," Romney continued"

If I were Cindy McCain, I wouldn't be too happy my husband considers marrying into MY millions to be hard work. And aren't there a couple of convicted felons in McCain's background, too? Keating 5 anyone? And wasn't Cindy's beer empire amassed due to some past criminal enterprise?

... didn't there used to be an unspoken 'honor amongst theives', whereby Party A shut the hell up during Party B's convention and visa versa. I don't remember opposite party folks going anywhere near the opposing convention city in the past.

Seems like the Republicans are doing a LOT of pissing on the Democratic convention (a favor which I truly hope the Dems will return in spades.)

That's all the Republicans have to offer! For Romney to refer to the Russians as "Soviets," is ignorant, if not down right dishonest. The right-wing has an agenda, built on Cold War assumptions. There are two sides to the Russia/Georgia conflict, but most Americans hear only the "officially sanctioned," White House version.

Haven't we had enough of a dishonest, fear-mongering, narrow-minded Administration. Romney and McCain only want to continue in the Bush-Chaney model.

We all need to work even harder to make sure this does not happen, because these men and the powers behind them, are ready to pull of another 2000 Presidential election and further erode the rights and living standards of poor and middle-class Americans in favor of the rich and the corporations.

They dispelled the veacity of the McAce claim that Obama got his home from that felon. Why isn't salon pointing that out? This is a blog isn't it? Or has it sold out to the corporate underworld that doesn't let truth get in the way of a good GOP story...

But McCain will be constrained to spending "only" $84 million in federal funds once he accepts the nomination on Sept. 4, so he's on a spending spree of his "primary" funds until then. Can't let a "gentleman's agreement" of the past stand in the way of harsh economic realities now, can we?

That would be Factcheck dot *ORG*, Mr. Cheney.

Please let McCain choose Romney for his VP spot. I want to see if MediaCorp can print free IOKIYAR passes fast enough to cover for two over-the-top flip-floppers like them.

Please let it be Romney.

Lieberman and Giuliani would be just too much to hope for, insofar as the so-called Christian right would abdicate in light of a pro-choicer joining the already questionable McCain. But Romney is a strong likelihood and if they think there's some choice anti-Obama rhetorice from Biden & HRC in the files, just wait 'til we fire up the ol' You Tube for Mittster's greatest hits on McCain (since that's apparently the game the GOP wants to play).

In a nutshell, Cindy McCain's fortune is built on the relationship her father, James Hensley, had with Kemper Marley. James Hensley was a convicted felon and he received his Budweiser distributorship through his connection with Kemper Marley. Arizona investigators have long believed that it was Kemper Marley who was behind the 1976 murder of reporter Don Bolles. (I am not suggesting that James Hensley was involved in the murder, I only want to illustrate with what kind of person Mr. Hensley associated with and that relationship is was the source of his wealth.) For some reason, the press is determined not to mention the fact that Cindy McCain's father is a convicted felon.

The right is living in the past, that's the only place they're comfortable and can control the conversation. I don't want to live in the past - the last eight years have been miserable and I want to move forward. The middle-class is disappearing due in part to paying for too many corporate mistakes. The only place socialism exists in this country is at the top levels of government and business.

Mitt comes 2/3 of the way across the country just to crash the opposing party's convention and complain about its candidate?! Well, duh. I think just about everyone in the country was on to his political persuasion before he boarded that plane.

Can we finally call Republicans the honest to god party of doom and gloom politics? The real party without any new ideas? Their candidate clearly doesn't have a plan to undo the damage his party has done to our country, unless he plans on sending Mitt and Rudy to setup shop next door to the unemployment office so they can complain about people not finding jobs yet. Or fly them to Iraq and they can nag the Iraqi council to death. The GOP, officially the party of angry old failed nags...the Statler & Waldorf of the convention.

A day later, the Obama campaign will release ads of McCain calling his new running mate a flip-flopper and a cheap, empty suit. Then we'll get the thinly veiled references to McCain's advanced age, couched in the question of whether Mitt is ready to step in as President if necessary? If the American public thinks Obama is "other," just wait til they learn more about Mormon Mitt ...

...and his famous quotation about a "foolish consistency being the hobgoblin of little minds", don't we already KNOW that Romney is going to be McCain's pick?

Nobody could expect to get away with criticism of Obama for failing to pick Hillary Clinton for the vice presidency, based on her 18 million votes and second place finish, then FAIL to pick Romney, who finished 2nd to McCain and garnered over 400,000 votes more than Huckabee.

Could he? Well, I *guess* he could get away with it, if the Democrats and mainstream media *let* him...

Well, there's his father in law, for example, convicted in 1948 for some shenanigans involving bootleg liquor.
