Man Faux News is lit up like a christmas tree spewing forth the largest amount of garbage ever....the smear machine just kicked into high gear....anything to win, destroy anyone who gets in your way....the good old NeoCon way to do politics. Looks like they forgot that their God is going to judge them someday.

I don't think they FORGOT, I believe they think they are above judgement by anyone. I mean they are essentially "Employees Of we the AMERICAN people" Yet we have little say who is there and can not fire them for preforming poorly, or thier lack of concern for the people they were hire to look after. That is not themselves or foreingers!!!!!!!!!

"In naming my colleague and friend Senator Joe Biden to be the Vice Presidential nominee, Senator Obama has continued in the best traditions for the Vice Presidency by selecting an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant. Senator Biden will be a purposeful and dynamic Vice President who will help Senator Obama both win the Presidency and govern this great country."

Don't know what exactly motivated Obama to pick biden as his VP rather than Hillary. She certainly has many supporters. But, as was endlessly pointed out by the politicl pundits, she brought many negatives too. If politics is the art of the possible, I'm not sure Hillary ever achieved that status.

If I'm a Repub strategist, it's only natural for me to want to link Obama to Hillary. Not sure that it's true; still seems like bitterness in both their camps. But this is politics, and sometimes reality is a stranger to everyone. -

Doesn't seem like they have to do to much, it appears that Hillary and BO have done a pretty good job.

Mdiar, my love, I know what you're saying; however, I don't believe the word "decent" was appropriate in this context. ;-)

No. I think it's been mostly the sleaze media encouraging and exaggerating tensions (particularly racial ones) between the different groups of Democratic supporters and across party lines. Every time I see one of these stories about race (why doesn't the media flood the airways with stories about exploring race relations every year during Back History Month?), I ask myself the question "who across the world watching our election process right now actually believes we're in Iraq to create democracy?" We know our own citizens aren't very bright but why do we not apparently realize or care that nations where the average IQ is way higher than ours are watching us and asking themselves why they are sending their citizens to die in wars on our behalf. That's what I would be asking. ;-(

I think this is a good strategy for the McCain campaign, but I wish it wasn't just so much "politics as usual".

'POLL!" Well, at least this man is a man like Obama, who has actually done some hard work in his life to get where he is! Not born into it, never struggling for crap, never knowing what living paycheck to paycheck, and still not even getting by, means. Only in office to help themselves and the big pockets of others AND the foreigners who live here free, send thier kids to school on US the Americans, while our children do without so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need NOBODY's in office. People used to REALLY working hard, and don't YET know how to work the system for thier own PERSONAL goals!

The right-wing media Fox"News" and CNN are very angry they couldn't control the American people's choice of Obama over Hillary and now are freaked that they couldn't force Obama to accept her either. They really thought they could (They are almost in shock...)
Reply
Both stations were going on and on trying to stir up conflict and antipathy in reports all weekend and actually said the name Clinton MORE than the name Obama.
America rejected the Republican Democrat.
The false news stations are losing their stranglehold.
Maybe our country has a chance...-

They're still trying, & they're going to mess up this historic nomination process for those of us who would like to watch the convention on the basis of its reality. We'll be watching their talking heads, their CON pundits, & their looking for anything to create a problem. F***king jerks! Maybe I'll luck out and be able to watch it on PBS, and just enjoy it for what it is, and not what CONS want it to appear to be. -

Hillary has the majority of the votes while Obama has a lead in delegate count from the elections. What were the Democrats yelling about in the 2000 election? Same situation as then and Hillary's people are incensed. They sound like the Democrat party in 2000. Stole the election. Now it is all Democrats fighting. They didn't need any help from McCain. They are planning on doing a lot of yelling at the convention if given the chance. Hillary and Bill will be nice nice but their people won't be. Deniability.

Via the incessant flow of these negative ads, McCain is showing that he has NOTHING to offer this country except another four years of Rove-style dirty politics.

I think this phenomenon is more wishful thinking than anything. Why are Republicans pushing the idea that Republicans are all willing to forgive and forget all the ways McCain has betrayed them over the years but Democrats who supported Hillary will all stay home, pout, and hold their breath merely because they didn't get the candidate of their choice (who happens to differ very little from Clinton ideologically speaking)?
Reply
I originally supported Edwards, Hillary was my second choice and Obama was my third. The point is, I liked ALL of the Democratic party candidates and would have been fine with any of them in the White House (even Edwards, still). I didn't slam any of the other Democratic party candidates during the primaries and I didn't feel any one was light years better than another. And I don't think I'm alone.

When was the last time McCain had anything of importance to say? All you ever get out of him is the constant reminder that he was a POW and constant digs and barbs against Obama. No real substance to anything he has to say. Maybe because he has his campaign people making these riduclous ads and all he has to say is "I'm John McCain and I endorse this ad"... In the meantime, none of the major issues facing this country get mentioned by McCain other than his wanting to drill, drill, and drill some more.

This is so true. Not so many months ago Rush was saying how all us Obama supporters have no idea what Obama stands for, well, what exactly does McCain stand for? The only thing I see is 4 more years of failed Bush policy.

"The McCain camp must think that the Clinton supporters are pretty stupid if this is the best that they can come up with. After Tuesday night, I don’t expect that there will be much of a rift left in the Democratic Party. The Democrats are going to come out of Denver strong, and the longer McCain avoids the issues, the closer he steps towards defeat in November."

We could replay the Biden tapes where Joe says he wants to either run against McCain or be McCain's VP. But enough of that...we have plenty to watch in Denver. For example, are there odds on which freak-fringe leftist radical misfit will be the first to occupy the DNC concentration camp set up for the obligatory crat mobs? I'm guessing PETA, but a Hillary supporter could easily be Detainee No. 1. And this may be hard-to-get information inasmuch as the Crat alphbet media bots have received their marching orders to keep the cameras on the celebrities....just as in Berlin they were instructed to keep the cameras on Obama while panning the crowds, deftly avoiding the two major concerts being performed to the right and left of Obama for which the throngs turned out. Then there Hillary's successful bid to have a roll call of votes for the nominee. Nothing nefarious about that. I mean, it's not like she could have beaten Obama, RIGHT ??? Meanwhile, even Clinton insiders dismiss the puff speeches Bill is giving about Obama...they say he's still seething at Obama for making Fr. Plegm appear to have been accurate. -

They like it too ... they can blame the other side for inaction without ever having to take responsibility for legislation gone wrong. And it generally goes wrong ...

McCain has NOTHING to do with the Dems being divided! They are doing it themselves! Take responsibility for your own party of thugs! Democrats can't control their own party, how are they going to lead this country? Hmmmm?Can't say I blame them either. Phony, not who he claims to be, Barack Hussein Obama and crazy Dean treated Hillary and those who voted for her something awful! I hope they expose Obama, Soros, Ayers, Wright, The Annenberg Foundation,etc. Vote McCain, Hillary supporters! Obama and his henchmen don't care about you...they have a socialist agenda to undermine this country. George Soros, the guy with the bucks behind Obama, is a professed rabid hater of America!

With all the gazillions BO has he should have retired Hillary's debt! But he didn't and he won't! What a joke. What a shame.
Found this on the web:
"Obama’s record of reaching across party lines is, as his own answer to Rick Warren’s recent Saddleback Civil Forum showed, pretty thin. His paper trail is surprisingly thin, too. He has left no papers from his Illinois senate days; he hasn’t listed his law firm clients or provided more than one page of medical records; the papers of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which he chaired and in which the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers was heavily involved, were suddenly closed to National Review’s Stanley Kurtz by the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois.
Mainstream media, with the conspicuous exception of ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, have shown little curiosity about Obama’s connection with Ayers. It will also be interesting to see if there is much coverage of Obama’s 2003 vote in Illinois against protecting infants born alive in attempted abortions, now that his campaign has conceded the bill was virtually identical to one that passed the U.S. Senate 98-0 in 2001."
This issue with Ayers is likely to heat up after the convention IMO."

i suspect the Dems are divided because they failed to properly vet any of their candidates. Obama has tons of luggage that continues to surface. He's still not being asked real questions when it comes to his friends and religious supporters. Ayes and Wright are only a small part of the problem. He's never reached across the isle and he's never voted against his party. In Springfield he's known as a rubber stamp for the DNC. If the DNC continues with this guy, there will be another GOP president next year.
