    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.

    "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."

    Sen. Hillary Clinton:

    I'm with those who are guessing that Hilary will receive a cabinet position.

    I see that "operation chaos" is an ongoing operation. And it worked so well......

      So, then, does this mean when McCain picks whoever, that the democrats will not use the earlier campaign rhetoric where the candidate was not agreeing with McCain against him?

      Oh yeah, that's different....

      So, but for McCain's gambit, everybody would be riding a Unity Pony into Denver? I don't think so.

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

        There is no boost in the poles today over the Biden pick so I guess America is not impressed with picking a man that loses early every time he runs.
        Kinda like kissing your ugly sister who happens to have the personality of a pit bull.

        Clearly, she would have been the stronger choice and would have guaranteed the outcome ...

        I don't see her on the Supreme Court ... she's broken too many laws ... the hearings would be awesome, however.

        The right-wing media Fox"News" and CNN are very angry they couldn't control the American people's choice of Obama over Hillary>>>>

        I think you're right. Sucks not having 'power' you think you have.

        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...)

        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...

        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, the Democrats are doing by themselves, what John Mc Cain, perhaps, would have liked to initiate: They are splitting into two "parties" or better: wings. Desillusioned Hillary-voters aren´t automatically enthousiastic Obama-supporters. That´s the hard Democratic truth!

          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.

          I wonder why McLame just doesn't take Obama down with better policy ideas?

          Oh, wait... never mind.

          Hammer home what the Con Culture of Lies and Incompetence has done to this nation and WORKING Americans and the issue will be moot.

          "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.

            Our goal in every election should be to maintain gridlock in Washington ... limit the damage they can do to us and the country.

            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 ...

            As Will Rogers said " Be grateful we don't get the Government we pay for".

            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."
