So, What’s Next?
By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on August 31, 2008 at 9:45 AM in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, DNC idiocy, Debates, Democratic Nomination, GLBT, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden
One astute commentator at No Quarter last night mentioned how incredibly upsetting it is that Jesse Jackson got all 485 of his delegates on the Roll Call, and Hillary Clinton got only 20% of her almost 2,000 delegates.
Upsetting, frustrating, insulting, maddening, disturbing, and demeaning are other words that come to mind. Frankly, if Obama has such a thin skin that he cannot acknowledge that Clinton had almost as many delegates as he did (and would have had MORE had the RBC not acted immorally), then how in the HELL is he going to stand up to the people he claims he wants to serve? He has no business running as the nominee. None.
To say he is a lightweight is a gross understatement. And he CANNOT EVEN WRITE HIS OWN SPEECHES!!! Pathetic!! Absolutely pathetic! I reckon he doesn’t know that his speechwriters cannot accompany him in the debates, which is probably EXACTLY why he won’t meet McCain in Town Hall forums.
Now, not only is Obama going to have to deal with McCain, he is going to be outshone by McCain’s running mate who can talk pretty darn well for herself. Without a speechwriter, I might add. Right off the top of her head. Just sayin’. Oh, and for whatever issues I might have with Palin, she DID veto a ban on same-sex benefits as unconstitutional in her first month in office. That counts for something. Yes, there are other issues, but I gotta say - she’s a compelling figure.
But, believe it or not, this isn’t about Palin. It isn’t even about Obama specifically, but peripherally. It is about Senator Clinton. Now that the Fixvention is over, what lies ahead for her? There was an interesting commentary in my local paper recently by Dale McFeatter who addressed this very issue. There are some things I think he could have phrased differently, and one word with which I disagree completely with the writer (oh, don’t you worry - I’ll point it out in bold), but it is interesting, I think. Here’s the article:
Hillary Weighs Her Future
An Editorial/Dale McFeatters (Submitted by SHNS on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 15:30. Scripps Howard News Service editorials and opinion.)
Psychologically, Hillary Clinton faces a demanding fall. If she wants a political future beyond the Senate, the former first lady must not be seen as going less than all out to elect Barack Obama, even though relations between the two camps can charitably described as strained.
Clinton’s very gracious and warm speech at the Denver convention, touching all the right notes, including a tactful nod to her husband’s presidency, showed that she is fully capable of that role and even of sharing attack dog duties with Obama running mate Sen. Joe Biden. But in her heart there has to be some ambivalence. You know that when she was on the podium with her tearful supporters cheering her name that at same level she was thinking, “This should have been ours,”
If Obama loses — and the polls indicate that for all the Republicans’ woes and the baggage of President Bush, he is not a sure thing come November — she would have the satisfaction of saying, certainly in private, “I told you so,” and the way would be clear for another run for the White House in 2012. Since her health-care debacle, she has proved capable of learning from her mistakes, and a second campaign for the presidency would be freer of the mismanagement and infighting that hobbled her first.
Even though she finished a close but indubitable second for her party’s nomination, she is perhaps our most remarkable politician and, even though Obama’s people might wish otherwise, Bill and Hillary Clinton will remain formidable fixtures in the Democratic Party. Their approval ratings with the Democratic faithful hover around 80 percent. She came achingly close to being the first woman to be the presidential nominee and retains a dedicated base of support and impressive appeal to blue collar voters.
Recall that she survived scandals — Filegate, Travelgate, her husband’s sexual dalliances — that would have sunk a lesser mortal and then went on to win a Senate seat in a state, New York, notorious for its convoluted politics, where she had never lived and had no real connection. Her effortless re-election was a sign that she can have the Senate job as long as she wants. If Obama wins and her hopes of another presidential run are perhaps eight years off, the question is: Will she want to?
If Clinton wants to stay in public life, there aren’t many options. Her husband has pre-empted one field with his Clinton Foundation. No nonprofit post could match the power and high profile of her Senate seat. Some have suggested that Obama appoint her to the Supreme Court, a job for which she isn’t really qualified and one that the Republicans would certainly block. Some have suggested that she might run for New York governor but it’s hard to imagine her trading Washington, her home for 16 years, for the administrative grind of Albany.
Or she could return to the Senate and take up the torch that Sen. Ted Kennedy is passing as that body’s great liberal lion — in her case, lioness. She has said she looks forward to passing universal health care and having Obama sign it. And the fact is that Obama, who was less collegial with his fellow senators than she, will need her advocacy in Congress.
A chapter in a gripping American political biography closed in Denver this week but it is far from the final chapter.
(Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service)
All in all, not a bad piece. Did you notice how the writer said Obama will need her help in the Senate since she had more collegial relationships. Wow, really? That isn’t what Obama and his minions claimed all the time. But those of us who actually PAID ATTENTION to her record knew better, didn’t we? And is she the nominee? No. Not that she ever thought she was the presumptive nominee from the beginning - that was another MSM line to demean her. But she DID have the votes, and she DID have the delegates. Until the DNC stole them, that is. So, she lost the nomination, and we lost the opportunity to have someone we KNOW would be one of the greatest presidents ever.
Well, not this time, apparently. But hopefully, in four more years. In the meantime, Hillary Clinton will continue to do what she has BEEN doing - the people’s work. And she will continue to do it with the same passion, brilliance, humor, and dedication she has exhibited her entire working life. We will be there for her, too, because we KNOW she is the real deal.
If you are so inclined, please consider helping Senator Clinton retire her debt. GeekLove, she of the most awesome videos, has a link she has set up for that purpose: http://www.actblue.com/page/retireherdebt
just don’t know how i get through a day without reading the wonderful posts at NQ
the whole damn thing makes me sick sick sick
so fed up…
thank you amy
Hillary in 2012.
She will be stronger than ever.
And so will we.
yOU CAN COUNT ON ME!!!!
Wikipedia and a Jerry Falwell staffer write McCain’s speeches. You sure you want to go there?
Yes. Obama proclaims to be a profilic best selling author. McCain does not.
Oh please. How many talk shows did McCain go on to peddle “Faith of My Fathers” and “Worth the Fighting For”?
What is the problem here? Obama CLAIMS TO BE A SPEECHWRITER. Is McCain making that claim? NO. So when someone says they write their own speeches, then pays someone to do exactly that, or just “borrows” speeches from others, they are lying liars.

OMFG, that was SO funny I had to write to the Times and LMAO at their fluff(er) piece!
The very first line tries to make us believe this:
“Barack Obama is usually the candidate who begs his staff to let him take one more question at every event…”
Who sold those so-called journalists that bit of bull??
Did they miss his whining about waffles and about, like, 8 questions being more than enough….not to mention his chickenshit hightailin’ it as far away from town halls as he can hide!
“Barack Obama is usually the candidate who begs his staff to let him take one more question at every event, but this week he hasn’t been a man to linger.” (Reference August 28, 2008 Times article.)
+++++++++++
“Toward the end of the press conference, the question of Goolsbee’s meeting was raised again. Obama answered curtly and then walked out after a staffer called last question. The press erupted with shouts, but Obama continued to walk out.
He paused only to say, “Come on guys; I answered like eight questions. We’re running late.”
On the flight from San Antonio to Dallas, Obama, unsurprisingly, did not wander back to make small talk with the traveling press corps. (March 4, 2008)
what about his new book Character is Destiny-J Mccain
Does Obama cast his own votes to support Bush’s agenda?
retro-FISA,
Cheney’s energy bill,
considering offshore drilling?
You know, important things that obama COULD have taken a stand against, vs. 30 year old Roe vs. Wade law that’s entrenched in American society?
Cuz really…speech smeech.
did obama cast his own votes for this bush/republican policy oriented bills?
well, did he?
The reference was to Bill Clinton writing HIS own speech for the Dem. convention, and that most Obamabots claim that Obama is SO eloquent. Yes, as long as he is reading a teleprompter. Get hom away from one, and he will um, uh, ah you to death!
I had the news on in the background today, and suddenly I hear this completely inane comment about “waiting, um, to see, uh, what was needed, canned goods…” and I looked up to see Obambi trying to answer a simple question about Gustav and New Orleans.
It was so labored it rivaled Bush on his typical day.
Except that then The O Messiah claimed that once we knew what was needed, he could get millions there as volunteers. He’s putting his cult to work already!
Rev. Amy is target-on!
cackicoo - you’re not the only one dying to read the NO QUARTER — So is the WashingtonPost!
No Quarter got honourable mention in Washington Post’s Aug.29, TRAIL comment:
“HA! SAY THE ONLINE HILLARY SUPPORTERS” by Krissah Williams Thompson - Washington Post, Aug 29.
We readers of NoQuarter are proud of Larry, Susan, Rev. Amy, Lisa and all the wonderful contributors that keep us Hillary fans satiated and up to par!
Thank you! And may the PUMAs roar Nov. 4th and beyond till we get our Lionness back!
I really wish the Clintons would step up to the plate and call out the disgusting upheaval of the Democratic Party but the Obamaasswipes and hillary haters on both side would do their best to crucify them again and again. At any rate what I have learned is BOTH parties are very corrupted and do very little for the people- Ever notice how wealthy congress critters become after a couple of years in DC? Its just another CORPORATION.
But since there is very little choice regarding party politics I’ll vote for the better pair and this time it will be McCain/Palin.
None of the DEMS have been able to sell Obama to me and I have become a very frugal and conscientious consumer. I’ve been known to BOYCOTT the popular choices like Walmart and phony Dems.
Did you guys watch Meet the Press this morning? Of all the panelists, only Maria Bartiromo was impressed with Sarah Palin. Andrea Mitchell made the comment that when Sarah Palin mentioned Hillary Clinton’s name at a rally, she was booed. Palin’s extremist views on abortion won’t attract any Hillary supporters. Virtually all the panelists on NBC’s Meet the Press thought this was a big gamble by McCain. McCain must be desperate.
Abortion issues don’t play any more idiot. Get Over It. Be responsible for your own actions like we are. We Despise Obama and the hypocrisy of the dem party. THEY FAILED US. Use good rubbers.
Sounds like you are ready to write off a woman’s right to abortion. Would you risk a Republican WH that would do exactly that?
At 56 it’s not a concern anymore. If you were so concerned you would have voted for Hillary. Obama does not care about women and you have no vote about abortion- it’s a phony wedge issue and you know it.
So, it’s all about you. Nice. Thank God young people are so involved this year.
Yeah, the spoiled kids sure know about ‘all about me’ stuff. Bratty American Idol celeb rock star ass lickers.
Nobama
Please keep supporting McCain. Your nastiness only helps Obama.
And so does you bots coming here- We despise Obama! Get lost!
Thank-you for acknowledging that we are helping Obama by coming here.
Forsake Obama and the pain will stop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu4IFSGIUFU
LOL- typo- but you bots will grasp at anything.
How can anyone who cried foul at the voting fraud of Bushco in 2000 and 2004 turn around and ignore the caucus voting fraud and bully tactics of the corrupt democrats? Hypocrits!
Obamabots = bushbots
Obama =Bush#3
Country first not SHEEPLE PARTY PUPPET POLITICS!
Our nastiness? I can not even repeat some of the things I have read here the last two days about what you Obot’s have been saying about Palin. And how about Fowler, a former DNC chair? I just can’t wait to see those Republican commercials.
No child. It’s all about you. You take rights that somebody else fought to give you for granted and they are being removed from your life daily you little fool.
Abortion should not be a concern in 2008. With medicine and hopefully a democratic congress this should not scare women no matter how old they are. If the Dems get a vetto proof majority, this should finally take care of this issue. But, it will not, they will not have the courage. They need this issue just as republicans need national security. I will vote a down ticket, I do not want one party controlling the government. And, I do not want the most unqualified nominee of a party in the Whitehouse. Obama/Bidden are worst than Bush/Chaney or just like. Have we learned anything over the last 8 years?
You are absolutely right,. Me, at 60, why should I care. Now It is young generation turn . I am for much more tough penalty, for abusing,rape,killing children even dath witch Obama is oposing!!!
Since when did the DNC appoint itself ” Lord and Protector of All American Uteruses?” I can put on my big girl pantsuit and watch out for my own sex live and reproduction thank-you very much. What is with the country-wide fascination with our lady parts? Tell you what- if the national obbession with vaginas must be fed- focus on providing women and girls with an adequate medical care system and keep rapists and molesters out of our homes, streets, and schools.
Hey Free-dumb Fighter, an Obama WH will destroy Roe vs Wade just the same as Obama vote for removal of peoples rights to privacy on his flopping on FISA, so your points of discord are garbage with Barry Soetoro saying “Just Words” and then doing the opposite, hard to trust a pathological liar isn’t it!
Enjoy your Soetoro blogging paycheck with your failed arguements!
cripes, don’t you have anything new to say??
This tired old meme again? The “pro-lifers” had the White House and the Congress for 6 years. How many attempts were made to abolish abortion? Zero.
Justice Scalia himself has declared Roe starre decisis. It’s a bedrock of American jurisprudence (I’ll wait while you look up the big words…….).
Roe doesn’t even address the legality of abortion. It’s a case regarding notification and consent. American women are no longer letting the Democratic Party blackmail them so shove it up your ass.
If you sheeple actually gave a crap about reproductive rights you would have backed Clinton, not the misogynist ass Barry Soetoro. Besides, the interfaith convocation that opened the Convention in Denver hosted a Pentacostal Minister who condemned abortion so the party’s commitment to women is soft anyway, as it is to equal protections for LGBTs, and rights to privacy…or were you to busy demonstrating your lack of sense to the blogosphere when Soetoro, Pelosi, and so many other Democrats voted for the FISA bill?
I was in Denver and am here to tell all of you that the Democratic Party is a sick, corrupt, steaming pile of turd. They don’t care whether you live or die, as long as they get your money and your vote.
Sounds like you are ready to write off FISA
A Republican President of 8 years, a Republican Majority of 4 years in Congress did not overturn Roe v. Wade. This is nothing more than an Election Year scare tactic, just like one side or the other trots out Supreme Court Justices every 4 years.
Reverend Amy’s article states the exact reason that this Registered Democrat will not vote for Obama. The DNC cheated, stole and strong-armed…I would be fearful of an Obama Presidency. Every bit as fearful as I was to even open my mouth and criticize Bush during his first 4 years. Howie and Donna learned how to train their thugs in the art of intimidation, but I hope their reign ends on November 4. I am so impressed with Sarah Palin. She is a breath of fresh air.
I fought for women’s rights and civil rights in the 60’s and 70’s. The youth of today threw that all away by nominating Obama, the unelectable candidate, over Clinton, a sure winner. I don’t feel any guilt.
No guilt here either.
So let those youngsters swallow !
I am votin for now, not for what will happend 30-50 years from now. Obama is saying, that we need to invest in future???, because we will not witness anything. Invest now, future is for coming generation, I will not fight for them, because they sell US to worst candidate ever!!!
Those young people have no brain, and those socall”educated” dont give damn, not so intelligent as I thought!!!
Clinton supporters know how to not get pregnant.
The little 20-something Obama female supporters, who binge drink every weekend and wake up with their knickers around their ankles are the ones up shit creek, not us!!
When you have every other commercial on MSNBO is an erectile drug but no mention of breast cancer or ovarian cancer, this shit has been going on for a very long time.
When a lame asshole like John Edwards, married with young kids and a grown daughter doesn’t take the proper precautions and engages in a sexual affair leading in a pregnancy…after decrying Clintons blow job….and so-called “progressives” take up all the old right-wing talking points on this during the primary; I have (4) words for you.
Shut the fuck up!!
I know how to take care of my vagina…I can’t say the same for all the young, stupid girls who laughed when Senator Clinton was called a bitch, or a ho, or when an organization named: C.U.N.T was given airtime on CNN!
Nice try on the guilt trip though!!
correction:
When every other commercial on MSNBO….
I am pretty certain it was a hand job…
LOL!
Preach it, sistah!
OMG. Not a Republican White House!
Waitaminit. Isn’t that what’s in there now? OMG!
I figure if they were so ALL FIRED UP about women’s rights and equal rights and FAIR & BALANCED Judges……. doh!
THEY SHOULD HAVE PICKED HILLARY!
Convenient that Now they worry?
With a choice between a white woman hater and a Vet who (to me) looks to only be trying to do the RIGHT thing for this country after his opponent in 2000 FRIGGED everything UP!!!
McCain should (in his heart) hate GWDouche after the way he treated him in 2000. (glad to hear he can’t make the Rep Convention)
Hillary too was treated heinously. You think she will forget all of that by 2012? Not likely.
Palin (if she stays reasonable) will get my vote.
McKook is the one I’ll plug my nose for but at least I can stomach him.
Certainly could never vote DEM as they are no longer what I call DEMOCRATIC. I have a problem voting for frauds. McCain may not be pretty but his heart is in the right place.
(Pretty Vegas Even! LOL)
Obama’s is all about Obama. And his next FIX. What ever that is now days that he’s had to give up Crack, Boys and now cigarettes. I wonder if he’s still got his caffeine addiction. Can’t give THAT up certainly. Maybe he’ll get a new addiction to alcohol and join with BUSH and BIDEN in the stupor world?
sigh (shaking my head)
go SARAH
reform those weak minded greedy fools
watch your back too!!!!
Some of them are “bat shit” crazy!!!
this is great!! No vote for Democrats. Independent it is nice to be!!!
Sarah is a great choice. She got my vote!!!
It always amazes me to hear the argument the Dems use inciting fear with regards to the SCOTUS and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. I wonder will that right of choice, if overturned, have any criminal and tough sentencing for those young teenage girls seeking an abortion. I’m of the opinion that Roe v. Wade will never be overturned because those affected would raise holy-hell should their daughters be criminally sentenced for having or seeking to have an abortion.
If past history was a guide they weren’t sentenced in court just butchered in back alleys by illegal abortionists.
well I am for states rights in those instances
if a state is against it and you NEED ONE
drive your little unprotected butt (or sadly if raped call me and I’ll drive you myself) to another state that allows them! OK?
Otherwise keep your legs closed for 4 yrs. You helped bring this on by not voting for Hillary! (unless you are too young to vote) anyway………..
there is ALWAYS an if/and or but
and always will be
but some things CAN be decided w/out tearing them down to their smallest degree of reality
or as my MAMMA has said to me
don’t PISS on my foot and tell me it’s raining! (and her Scotch Auntie used to say that to her, she tells me) lmao!
In my opinion, if my younger sisters lose Roe v Wade it will be their own fault for taking the rights they have for granted, because they didn’t fight for them. They think these rights will always be there and nothing could be further from the truth.
If this year’s Democratic Primary showed us one thing, it’s that these rights are precarious. In fact they would be completely gone in the wrong hands. And the wrong hands belong to Barack Obama, the man who secretly chuckled with glee as women were bashed by-proxy by his surrogates, his followers, the press and him.
I see many very young women who are dangerously complacent enough to take the time to swoon over a sexy empty suit who has already set gender relations back a minimum of 30 years. If these women lose Roe v Wade because they all want to be the Obama Girl, then it serves them right. Not my problem. I know how not to get pregnant.
It’s my job to protect the rights I fought for that matter to me. I do not take these rights lightly. This is a misogynist’s campaign and if squealing young women are too busy spawning over Leland Gaunt handing out Needful Things and discussing his vibrating cell phone when he leans on one of them, then they will have to learn to take the consequences of their own folly along with the consolations. Maybe then they will Get It. I have already done well enough in my life. Complacency is theirenemy, not mine. If they don’t appreciate what the previous generation of women went through so that they could act like they want to spawn for Barack Obama, then they don’t deserve our help any longer. Let em eat vibrating cell phones.
You are being rolled, girls! But you won’t Get It until it starts to hurt. This kind of pattern rolls down hill into the workplace and the home. You do NOT want a man whose sycophants have the attitude being shown and encouraged by Obama.
as to the abortion issue i don’t believ it should be a major issue in 2008…20 yrs ago yes but not now …..with all the birth control products on the mkt. there is no excuse for an unwanted pregnancy outside of incest or rape…
i am a feminist to my toes but i think where there is consensual sex its
time for women to take control of their actions..and not to expect gov to bail them out.. it sends the wrong message ..
for the record i was always pro choice…
Apparently for all his alleged “constitutional scholar” credentials, Obama has failed to explain to his supporters exactly HOW laws are made and passed.
First off, “freedom”, laws are made by CONGRESS. (A President can sign an Executive Order, but the Congress–if it has the will to do so–can overturn such an Order.) A President can recommend that a law be written and passed and sent to him TO SIGN, but he CANNOT make laws.
Second, laws are judged by the Courts. That is what Roe v Wade is–a Supreme Court decision. For 35 years, there have been numerous attempts by lawmakers (of BOTH parties, mind you) to pass laws which would restrict, if not eliminate, a woman’s right to abortion. (Incidentally, you might want to Google the name Robert Casey, Sr and find out what many people believe was behind his being snubbed at the 1992 Democratic Convention. You’ll also find out something VERY interesting about Casey with regards to the Supreme Court.)
In short, we’ve had TWO Presidents in the last 35 years who’ve openly supported an end to legal abortion and BOTH have been two-term Presidents, yet abortion rights have largely remained (albeit with additional restrictions). Also, abortion has become, by and large, a matter that the states have taken up. Many states have imposed restrictions (that the Supreme Court has allowed to stand) on abortion–things like requiring a 24- or 48-hour waiting period, requiring a woman to have the procedure fully explained beforehand (upon which she must STILL wait), imposing higher insurance rates on clinics providing abortions. A number of states have mandated that no one without a medical degree (i.e., only full-fledged doctors–not RNs or LPNs) may perform abortion services. Many universities (including MEDICAL schools) have even taken to eliminating teaching the procedure. There are, in fact, a number of states which have fewer than a dozen abortion providers in total (I seem to recall a story where one of the Dakotas only had ONE provider in the entire state).
So, take a few minutes and actually CHECK on the REAL state of abortion in this country before parroting the Obama party scare tactic about abortion.
Roe vs Wade changed the law of the land 35 years ago, with 19 of those 35 years spent under administrations that would prefer the law changed back.
As hard as it is to extend freedoms by mandate in America, it’s harder still to remove those feedoms once granted.
The threat of challanges to Roe vs Wade is an old, tired refrain. IF that fight omes we’ll fght it.
That said, this election is not about a woman’s right to choose or any other side dish. This election is about keeping America out of Marxist hands.
Screw womens issues. Screw Gay issues. Screw every special intrest issue on the books. America as a whole must come first this year.
If not, she will cease to exsist as we know her.
When we look to Andrea Bitchell for journalistic integrity we are all in a world of hurt, aren’t we. I am surprised that she still gets air time.
Did you notice how many of the butts are out this weekend? They must be getting time and a half. Probably double time tomorrow. If there could be any greater signal that they smell trouble in River City, I am not sure what that would be.
William Safire’s column in the NYT — I read it on Realclear as a click to NYT just encourages them — is stunning. And Safire gets more readers that Howdy Dowdy and Frankie combined.

Maria Bartiromo of CNBC is impressed with Palin because she did an hour-long interview with her in Alaska three weeks ago. After you watch this, you’ll know who the most qualified candidate on either ticket is.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838272/site/14081545/
Correction on CNBC link:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=836384597&play=1
I totally disagree with her support and her arguments on this issue. There is no way that drilling in a “wildlife refuge” will not negatively impact the wildlife. One doesn’t just drop drilling mechanisms and pipelines in place, infrastructure is built. Studies have shown significant disruption to wildlife with just the noise of a single snow mobile. Imagine the construction, operation and maintenance and their impacts, let alone the inevitable spills.
Degraded ecosystems are the norm around the world, that is why this is another great extinction period (believe me, our species is not immune to extinction; there are several hominid species that are extinct). Then there is such a thing as keystone species (without these species, the whole ecosystem fails) and canary in the coal mine species. We are even still today, discovering species and we are learning more about ecosystems and what keeps them healthy - but we don’t have all of the pieces, and many mistakes continue to be made that also negatively impact humans. Cumulative impacts are yet to be determined thoroughly - and with each disturbance, we as a species are placing ourselves in danger. Therefore, I am totally dismayed that there are those among you are praising this interview - it is disingenous.
Plus, again, none of this will help us now nor in the near future. We need to implement Hillary’s energy plan.
That said, Obama will cave on this issue and any issue that polls well. He has no core values, he cares about Obama. This is really a terrible choice for the short term; but, I believe that Obama is the death of the Democratic Party because he will be even worse than Jimmy Carter. That means, Republican rule for 20-30 years instead of just the next four (I don’t think that the conservatives will allow McCain to wander from them even if he inclined to do so, so he will fail as President).
I will support down ticket Dems in order to counter balance McCain when he goes off the reservation. Although, I don’t have any confidence in the current Dem leadership - we must ensure that changes. Clinton should be Senate Majority leader and we need to get someone who is not beholden to the PTB’s on the House side.
I watch this to, Sarah is smart , intelligent and will make Obama look like real rookie!!!
I saw the Palin interview the other night. BArtalomo (?) looked impressed. I was too.
I can’t believe that on a site that screams about misogyny by the Dems at the drop of a hat that you can get away with saying “Andrea Bitchell” but not get called out. Hypocrites, all of you, for letting this slide.
I’d like to say that was a typo, lol, but Andrea is a tool for msnbo, you know, the station that bashed Hillary Clinton for months on end and felt the tingle go up their legs for the incompetent BO?
It’s totally justified in this case.
Kind of sounds like McCain’s stance on torture.
Obots are torture. YUCK! We can smell you coming-
Obama supporters=Bush supporters Idiots!
Please take your faux feminist concerns to someone who thinks you are authenitic. She is a total sellout. She deserves to be called out.
Now, now Blue Intrigue. I know you got the Axelrod memo over AAs using the N word amongest themselves. Obviously, you were skipped over on the B word memo. I give you a run down. Women can use that word among ourselves. Privately, never publically. It can be a put-down. OR it can be a term of inspired endearment. But we NEVER want to hear that word coming out of a man’s mouth. Do so and you risk having your balls kicked up into your throat.
that is because ALL WOMEN ARE BITCHES
most of us don’t mind that word
Hey Free-dumb fighter, how are things going over there in Gaza, Barry Soetoro’s little paychecks helping out much?
President Obama is the only one who can bring about peace in the Middle East. Seeing how the Bushes and Clintons hadn’t even tried, we finally have a candidate with change we can believe in. Barack Obama will bring about peace in our time.
PEACE?? Look how he divided the dem Party– Yeah he is just the most peaceful person… GET OVER IT.
OBAMA SUCKS the peace/CRACK pipe
You believe a pathological liar, well smoke someone of your dope, it is proving you have no ability to think, or is a $7/hr paycheck more important to you than country?
good lord, don’t walk, run to the nearest mental health clininc and check yourself in for Kool Aid detox…you are a sad case.
chuckle! hear THAT!
Waddle back to Gaza, FF. BTW, he’s not prez, nor will he be. According Zogby, it’s dead even. Read this.
“Barack Obama will bring about peace in our time.”
Barack is the next Neville Chamberlain? Are you sure you’re not a neocon double agent?
Barack Obama wants to reverse the direction of the guns. Nothing more.
FF, Obama is an arrogant thug and he’s just not bright enough to be president. After watching the entire process this year, I have come to the conclusion that Barack Hussein Obama reads pretty well from a teleprompter. End of story.
Obama couldn’t even push the correct button as a state senator. He’s already talking about a plasma TV in the Lincoln bedroom. He’s well into middle age and has never done a day of work in his life. He ain’t gonna start in the White House.
How’s that smear campaign against Palin going? Any thoughts on the viral Fowler video?
Interested in buying a fantastic vacation property? I have the perfect one for you! You will be surrounded by wildlife as you rest and rejuvinate. Watch the aligators play at your doorstep, see rattlesnakes frolicking in the back yard, feed the lovely mosquitoes,… it will be great!

Neville Chamberlain
