Well, tonight is Bubba’s night. How long do you think he’ll take to say nothing? He’ll be late then he’ll talk over his allowed time.
Does any one else but me see the irony of allowing Ted (the swimmer) Kennedy and Bill (I didn’t have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky) Clinton to have their own night and then hide away John (I ain’t the daddy) Edwards?
Just wondering,
hehehehe
I couldnt help thinking about Shirley Chisholm as I watched the vote. I bet she’s a smilin’ down on this convention. On second thought…
She might have supported Hillary! Heheheheh.
God, I miss her, Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards and Stephanie Tubbs Jones. We need these women NOW!
Where will the next generation of fighters come from? Sebelius land? Heheheheheheheheheheheh.
not
“ksfarmgrrl” –
And Molly Ivins!
Rachel Maddow is part the new generation of fighters. But she’s got some big shoes to fill.
I think she will.
Hell, run for office Farm girl! I’ll send ya a check. I’ll put your bumper sticker on my ‘going-to-town’ pickup.
You’re a better woman than any you’ve mentioned!
Thank you Hank. Really. And I believe you. It’s not gonna happen though.
I’d be murdered and lying in a ditch before midnight on the day I announced. Somehow, I think I’d be the issue instead of the issues being the issues.
Hehehehe. But after the water wars, I do admit, my opponents were waaaay worse for the wear than I!
It was a real nice touch that the man who put Obama’s name into nomination is an Iraqi war veteran and a life-long registered Republican. He had some great things to say about our next president!
Wonder if I could find a script of that speech — it was a good one I wouldn’t want anyone to miss!
Yeah MonkeyHawk. Molly would have LOVED this election year. We need her too. Not these jackasses that call themselves pundits. With the exception of Rachel, they arent fit to carry Molly’s shoes.
Except for Dave Barry of course, but that’s a whole different subject…
Here’s part of it.
=========
“I’ve seen war up close not as a political slogan or a think tank theory,” said Michael Wilson, an Air Force veteran.
“America needs a president who has the strength and wisdom and courage to talk with our enemies and consult with our allies,” Wilson said to thunderous cheers from an only half-filled Pepsi Center.
“A president who has the judgment to use war as a last resort not as a first resort; a president who can adapt to things that change and a president who will respect our veterans when they come home instead of leaving them without the medical care and benefits they deserve.”
“Somehow, I think I’d be the issue instead of the issues being the issues.”
I don’t know, darling. Times they be a-changing. That’s the the problem these days, we seem to be voting for the personality and the charisma instead of the leaders.
We’re getting pollsters instead of statesmen.
We’re getting pollsters instead of statesmen.
And cokehead drunks like our current worst-President-ever.
Linda,
Try CSPAN for script of the nomination speech. I think the video is up, but not sure about the transcript yet.
You know I could have sworn that someone was trying to tell me something the other night. I am not kidding here- I had a dream that angels came and told me that I had to vote for Obama and I argued with them. I woke up going- ok- I don’t believe in angels. And that very evening I was walking out of the store and I heard choir music- in my head. Really loudly- like some amazing choir song I had never heard before. I felt so stupid because I stopped there with my son- looking around to see if other people could hear it too. Nobody seemed to be stopping. I asked him if he heard music. He said no.
So I’m either going batsheet crazy over this Hillary losing thing- or something. I can’t figure it out. I’m more likely to believe my mind is playing tricks on me.

Here’s an ad that will welcome the PukeCONs to St. Paul–
“Thanks for the memories . . . “
It’s Jesus telling you to vote for Obama, Pmom!
LISTEN!!!
“KansasNative” –
…and you can’t see the stars at night when they turn on the streetlights.
I’m not sure I’m entirely against political polling. But it is the sociological wah-wah pedal of life in America: a little bit isn’t bad but too much is a bad 80s hair band.
I kinda like it that some politicians (they’re called REPRESENTatives, after all) try to take the pulse of the people they represent. I also think a REPRESENTative sometimes should vote against the whims of partisan rhetoric and represent the best interests of his or her constituents. Personal and political integrity sometimes shows up in the Congress, albeit that’s not the way to bet.
Obama is a Lightworker (one who has been sent to deliver us from evil) pmom…..
listen to the angels….they are real.
OOOBBBBAAAAMMMMAAAAA, Pmom.
“Barbara Jordan”
Probably the American politician from my lifetime who I admire the most. I also greatly admire the late, great Paul Tsongas.
But Barbara Jordan…talk about someone who would have had a presidential presence, a mind sharp like few others…
She was born too soon to a country too immature to truly appreciate her.
Oh please. Mary you know I don’t believe but nice try lol.
“Agnatha” remembers Barbara Jordan –
“…talk about someone who would have had a presidential presence, a mind sharp like few others…”
She had an elegant mind.
A countenance of wisdom, understanding, and wit.
Irony is so… ironic.
They play Clinton’s campaign song, “Don’t Stop Thinkin’ About Tomorrow,” but the last words are “Yesterday’s gone.”
I suspect Bill got the message.
Mh, you obviously have major issues with the Clintons. Get over it will you? That’s what you keep asking me to do right?
Millions of us still love them. They’re not gone.
We won’t let them be.
See, he’s talking to ME!
“She had an elegant mind.
“A countenance of wisdom, understanding, and wit.”
Not only that (and that is soooo important!), she had PRESENCE, the kind of “don’t f*ck with me” presence that most citizens would want to represent them in the broad, wide world. And it wasn’t something she did, it was simply who she was. She projected not only intelligence but hard earned wisdom.
Truly, when I imagine the most presidential person I can, particularly when I think about politicians from the second half of the 20th century to now….
Barbara Jordan is one of the people I imagine. In fact, she’s pretty much the first person I imagine.
Thanks, but no thanks! In this case, the third time is NOT THE CHARM!
“I’m more likely to believe my mind is playing tricks on me.” — p.m.
Those are stroke symptoms p.m.
Beber, don’t you have kiddy porn to be viewing?
Bill Clinton,
Give that man a cigar…
back to unity and hope
America must always be a place called hope
WOW!
For those who guessed this speech would be about Bill Clinton — you guessed wrong!
What a man, what a speech!
#Regular Posted August 27, 2008 at 8:26 pm |
“Bill Clinton,
Give that man a cigar…”
Right Regular, right!! But where are you going to put it???
What funny is that what’s going on for Obama in Kansas won’t make a bit difference. It is solid RED! All electoral votes RED!
But you Dems…keep acting like what you think is important if it makes you feel that way.
Oh, and that question about being ‘ready’ to be president. President Clinton certainly knew how to answer that one!
Boxlock, the “dems” on this blog have moved waaay beyond Kansas to join the rest of the world! But tell yourself whatever comforts you. You’re gonna need a lot of comfort soon!
Bill did exceedingly well.
Looks like our donkey above is kickin’ ass!
“Political_mama,” you’re wrong –
I really think President Clinton would be remembered as one of the most successful Presidents in history. If only he’d kept it zipped.
I’m far more liberal than Bill Clinton. And Bill Clinton is far less liberal than the wing-nuts imagined him to be. I didn’t particularly like Clinton’s triangulation strategy. And I think there’s a chance that the flaws from the first term (e.g., DADT, Welfare Reform, even NAFTA) might have been addressed had it not been for Monica Lewinsky.
I think Senator Clinton is a superior policy-tician but not that great a politician. I think she can become the Lioness of the Senate. And I think we’ll all be the better for it.
And that’s a glimpse into just how weird our electoral system is. Hillary gave a better speech, but Bill spoke better.
Some of it is about style.
Funny, isn’t it? How reality keeps getting in the way of fantasy?
The CONs are the fantasists these days.
(An aside: Has anyone else noted that “Franklin,” after about 38 straight hours of manic posting like a crazed weasel, suddenly isn’t around today? Bi-polar? A meth crash and burn? The Rapture? (If so, don’t tell “Nathaniel”. He’ll whine about being left behind.)
Thousands stage anti-war protest at convention
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26429975
Just click and look at the picture! Change, she is a comin’!
We do have a better future for all Americans in our future! And we’ll once again be the country that leads by example.
I’m pretty sure Franklin is herre under one of his other nics. Its how he makes his living. He needs the money to pay for his house and the x-wife’s house… Maybe he also sells insurance, but can you imagine he does well enough at that to support TWO households?
lindainks55,
“Boxlock, the “dems” on this blog have moved waaay beyond Kansas to join the rest of the world!”
Oh yeah, well lets see you vote way beyond Kansas then.
I suspect that having been found out, my soccer ball, er uh Franklin will lie low for a few days and then emerge in a new nic. This has been his pattern in the past when he gets his foot too far down his throat.
In the capacity he is supposed to operate here, he has to have some level of deniability for posts past.
Bill was good wasn’t he? I never liked Bill that much. But he can turn a phrase and move a room.
In fact….
Obama is going to have to have a pretty impressive speech to be up to par with those who have gone before. Think he’s up to it?
“They play Clinton’s campaign song, “Don’t Stop Thinkin’ About Tomorrow,” but the last words are “Yesterday’s gone.”
Damn, Bill looked good, didnt he? I love that man and I would vote for him again, if I could. I wouldnt marry him, but I damn sure would make him president again.
He looked to me like a man at peace. At peace with his legacy, at peace with Hillary’s campaign, at peace with his party. So yeah. I think he’s ok that yesterday is gone, and he will NEVER stop thinking about tomorrow.
Whatever happens with obama, he cant blame it on the Clintons ever again.
And Pmom? I’m feeling the pull myself. I will always be disgusted by obama and his divisive strategy to win the nomination. I will always have a DEEP resentment over the mcclurkin incident, the way he treated Hillary and the way he tried to paint both Clintons as racist. He has one hell of a lot of work to do to EVER make me feel good about him.
But goddamn. Teddy Kennedy makes me proud to be an American. So do Hillary and Bill and Joe Biden. Not proud to be a democrat. Proud to be an American.
We’re stuck with obama. There’s nothing left to do but make sure mcsame and the repukes who have brought this nation to within a hair’s breath of destruction, NEVER get a chance to do it again.
“preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution”.
What a concept.
And what a concept that we could, once again, awe the world with the power of our example, not the example of our power. Wouldnt it be nice if we set an example of equality and not division?
I hope paulie has walked away from his computer to “spend more time with his family”. I have a sense that somewhere inside, he is a good man, just terribly, TERRIBLY misguided.
I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been worried about his mental health. I hope he’s taking some time for himself and for the family I know he loves.
Koolaide detox is rough, or so I hear…
Text of President Bill Clinton’s most exceelent speech delivered tonight at the Democratic Convention:
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/text-bill-clintons-speech/story.aspx?guid={386FB784-B10C-4648-BD91-49C4767585DF}&dist=msr_1
And as for boxy… all I can say is…
It must just phucking suck to be him right now!
Ya know, if you closed your eyes and listened when Barbara Jordan spoke, even in a private setting, there was no doubt.
Her’s WAS the voice of GOD!
You’re ditching KFG?
I can’t say I blame you. And I’m not ready to give in and join you.
Boxlock, popular vote isn’t how our president is elected. Don’t worry about my vote in Kansas. Worry about the many votes in the many other states.
PMom, I know how much you give of you and your energy and strength to women’s rights. Just think real hard about SCOTUS appointments. And then vote exactly the way that is best for you — no justifications, no explanations, you and your vote. I’ll always love and admire you. You are the kind of woman Senator Clinton is — the kind that make the world better for all women.
No, I’m not ditching. I’m just deeply conflicted. Do I hate mcsame or obama more? I dont know. I dont trust obama, or pelosi or reid or sebelius or, well, a hell of a lot of democrats.
But the thought of the repukes and their puppet mcsame completing the shredding of the constitution, the rat phucking of the middle class, the torching of the economy, the destruction of our military, and the wrecking of our government, makes me want to, as the Rude Pundit says, down a fifth of Maker’s Mark with a handful of Xanex…
From barack obama to sebelius all the way down to gail finney, they’ve got to repent for their bigotry and worst and lukewarm acceptance at best, and set a place at the table for the gay community.
And I dont know that ANY of them are big enough to do it. So know, I’m not ditching. I’m still voting for CYNTHIA! At least in Kansas, I can do it without regret that I’m turning over the keys, no pun intended, to the repukes.
One of my favorite people:
Garrison Keillor:
Having been called names, one looks back at one’s own angry outbursts over the years, and I recall having once referred to Republicans as “hairy backed swamp developers, fundamentalist bullies, freelance racists, hobby cops, sweatshop tycoons, line jumpers, marsupial moms and aluminum siding salesmen, misanthropic frat boys, ninja dittoheads, shrieking midgets, tax cheats, cheese merchants, cat stranglers, pill pushers, nihilists in golf pants, backed-up Baptists, the grand pooh-bahs of Percodan, mouth breathers, testosterone junkies and brownshirts in pinstripes.” I look at those words now, and “cat stranglers” seems excessive to me.
The only thing I will ever ask of you, PMom, is to fight against McCain. Thanks, but no thanks, in this case the THIRD TIME IS NOT THE CHARM!
No way, no how, no McCain!
“We’re stuck with obama.”
Oh do not resign yet my friend. We have until early morning Nov. 4 for that.
You and I and political mama still have a role in this.
We will be the voice of the base that Obama thinks he can win without. He has plenty of the faithful. NOW he will pick up many of the go along get along.
We can keep him and his choir conscious of the fact that Obama MUST be answerable to people NOT convinced yet to vote for him.
Obama has been given SO much SO quickly that I fear he may come to see himsel as ABOVE accountability to anyone. That does not serve him, the party, or the country well.
Ya know what I hope? I hope that there are thousands of hecklers (noun, not clones of the poster here) at that stadium tomorrow. Obama NEEDS that. He has had too much unrequited love already.
Heheheeh Walker!
“lindainks55″ –
I really REALLY don’t worry about who might be posting under multiple nyms.
One of the reasons I address other posters with their nyms verbatim is that patent juvenile tone that comes from stuff like “CrapnAmerica” and “MonkeyHock” and the insider-ish references to previous nyms or addressing known first names. I know some guy named “Paul” used to post as “ECON101″ and is now “Franklin.” I know “Nathaniel” used the be “Nathan.” I’m not quite sure whether “ksgrm” became “outlander” or “okobserver” and I don’t really care to keep up.
As I read the archives of this forum I’m astounded by the posters who spew their stuff at six in the morning, all through noon and evening, into the night, overnight. It was like a piecework seamstress spitting out counterfeit Levi’s from a hovel in Honduras.
When do they sleep? Not figuring in the meth, I mean.
I got into a dialog on another thread with “Nathaniel” earlier today. After a while it felt like coaching the Special Olympics synchronized drowning team.
“I shoulda told ‘em to breathe when they had a chance!”
I don’t think “Franklin” is posting under another nym. I suspect “Franklin” might be wallowing in that depressive personal hell that follows a manic episode.
I am a fighter. God if anything I think I’ve proven that. Thanks Linda- I love you woman!
I do find Hillary to be my inspiration- the woman that could- if anyone could- it was her. And she keeps plugging along- no matter how many people call her butt fat- try to get her to iron their shirts.
This has been a dream of mine electing her for …oh my god, when exactly did she start on the healthcare reform? I don’t know, but that is how long. Far longer than anyone even knew of Obama. It wasn’t just about her being a woman, no matter what they say. I truly believe in her- and I just feel kicked in the gut.
I will vow to keep on keeping on fighting against those who are against equality for all. I will vow to keep fighting on against Christian fundamentalists. I will vow to keep fighting against corruption from ANY politician.
And I will vow to fight for what is best for my country.
Biden’s giving a helluva speech.
THERE ya go political mama!
This fight is not over. It has just changed.
We didn’t beat Obama. SO what we have to do is make sure he cannot forget us. We owe him that. We owe the party and the country that.
Monkeyhawk? For the record? Outlander has been posting here from the beginning. I have met him in person and if he ever switched nics no one caught him. Just FYI.
And what about that throwaway email I asked you for? We want you in on the fun Nathan is so distressed that we are having.
It has all been rather predictable to date, but we were told that there would be suprises in Denver.
I think a left hook is yet on the way.
President Clinton told us tonight that Obama’s first presidential decision was a hit outta the park. he was, as always, so right! I’m so proud this guys on our side! We really can get America back!

I’ve been all in favor of your off the wall call that Al Gore was gonna sweep in and make this all so much simpler.
But the delegates have voted. Obama makes his acceptance speech tomorrow. It’s a done deal except for dragging Obama back to the base.
The Change We Need.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Biden kicks ass and takes names! Wahoo!
I’m going to predict this was a very successful night for the democrats! giggle
Great speech after great speech, great man after great man, great plans, THE CHANGE WE NEED desperately!
What change, specifically?
The Change We Need.

Repeat.
Inhale.
Ahhhhhhhh………
Exahle.
Ahhhhhhhh………
I get it now.
Change.
Joe Biden’s wife has a PhD in education. She isn’t a librarian in a private school. She will contribute to one of my most cherished goals — a good education for every American child!
And like I said, BIden was always my #2 for the #2 slot, right behind the one who is just a tad more inspiring.
Getting rid of bushco is a great change! We’ll take it from there and make it even better!

Neither of the Clintons looked out of it to me. I think both Clintons have a great place in the tomorrows of America!
Who is in charge of the exclamation point bank? We’re gonna need a loan. Max is scared shitless and using ‘em faster than they can be manufactured.
psssst, Max
Supreme Court Justice Hillary Rodham Clinton (FOR LIFE)!
giggle
Say, did Bill mention how the 2nd Amendment was going to be irradicated by the Democrats?
How the 93 Gun Ban was going to be reinstated and made even more restrictive?
How Obama would ban concealed carry nationwide?
Dang! No? Really?
I’m surprised!
What a platform!
Cont.,
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
39.6% – (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that ‘Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.’)
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $31,250
OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K – tax $8,400
Single making 50K – tax $14,000
Single making 75K – tax $23,250
Married making 60K – tax $16,800
Married making 75K – tax $21,000
Married making 125K – tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least….New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
For those that actually produce something Obama and the Dems are a nightmare. I’m glad I just leased a Texas quarter for $175/mineral acre, and got the check today, this year and this years taxes.
Now I’ve got to worry about our 20% split of production if they put a well on. They might not even bother if Obama makes it unprofitable.
Max,
The Clinton “Dynasty” is not dead. You just wish it was. All you had to do was watch and listen to those delegates, both last night and tonight.
The Republican Party will never equal what you saw tonight, nor will they ever step up to threaten it.
Push us down, we get up. Count on it.
How about balancing the National Budget, did Clinton mention how the Democrats were going to do that?
No?
Really?
Dang!

Chas has a massive surplus and has been donating exclamation points to other posters as charity.
Chas’s wife doesn’t like them laying around the house.
Defending America, did Bill mention how Obama would be so strong on National Defense that America would be safe?
That America could pull out of Iraq now?
That America would no longer have to fight wars?
No?
Really?
Dang!
Supreme Court Justice Hillary Rodham Clinton (FOR LIFE)!
Nah. First Woman President. It WILL happen. Until then, we want her on the front lines, helping to make laws, not dithering over the ones already there.
You know what? I never ever thought about the second amendment until I began posting here on this blog. I was raised around guns. They had a purpose, they were kept clean (I’ve cleaned many a gun! which is why I know how bad they make my hands smell!), they had a purpose. I took guns for granted BEFORE I met the gun nuts here on WEBlog. No longer! Now, I know guns are in the hands of nuts.

That freudian slip was great, it will be repeated many times tomorrow on the news.
I thought it was nice and fitting for Obama to come out and recognize Hillary for her great performance, as well as bill’s.
I guess Boxlock and Max aren’t a part of this country. They see to hold themselves above everyone. Those people in Washington who claim to represent them aren’t doing that, but, hey, what goes around, comes around.
You boys enjoy yourselves, ’cause Karma’s a bitch.
Does Chas also have question marks? Max is irrationally wasting precious resources. Of course, we expect no less!
Hey, it was such a great night! I’m ready to sleep soundly and peacefully. Good night all.

You’re supposed to shoot guns, not pee on them and make them smell.
Women in the democratic party see their role as advocates and vocal ones- equals to their husbands. Republican party women see themselves as beneficiaries of picking a rich man to tell them what to do.
Bahahahaha, Pee.
That’s funny. Your sarcasm is getting better.
Notice how Linda uses Guns in the PAST TENSE!
They HAD a purpose.
Not anymore.
Not under Obama and the Democrats.

Unless you are John McCain who files for the marriage license to marry his rich, politically connected second-wife-to-be while he was still married to his first wife. Cindy McCain looks like a grandmotherly Barbie doll with way too many botox treatments. Does her face ever move?
Arnie is no Republican. He’s a RINO. Married to a Lib Kennedy.

Pmom, how do you treat your husband?

I bet Obama brings it home tomorrow. Think Bill, and Biden have been setting the stage, look for more red meat. Obama’s gotten the message that No You Can’t, if you don’t get elected first.
Very clear message Phantom.
I’m very convinced.
You must be a professional marketing type?
I only heard a bit of Biden.
Fighting the kid for the TV. I’ll catch it later.
Damned energetic. The cons can’t match that next week.
I hope Focus on the Family has abandoned praying for rain in Denver in favor of praying for the Gulf coast. McCain’s VP choice is gonna duel for news time with hurricane Gustav.
Off to try and get Monkeyhawk in the coop.
One of the RNC’s biggest draws just doesn’t want to be associated with the event.
The Republican ship is taking water and listing. Even Roberts had better sense.
Biden came a pretty good outline of the failures of the last administration, numerous though they are. I expect Obama to expand on them. We’ve been watching and listening to a building crescendo that should reach its peak tomorrow.
came-gave Getting tired!
If it heads towards N.O., it will be a reminder of Katrina.

I am sure you are hoping for that tragedy to strike your fellow Americans to further you political cause.
Yes Anti, the Dems PRAY FOR BAD NEWS!
New Orleans, if another 1,000 get killed, that will be PERFECT for them!
They will have a big celebration!
Nah. First Woman President. It WILL happen.
A look ahead to 2015:
In a widely-expected announcement,Vice President Joe Biden, 72, declares he has no interest in a third try for the presidency.
The presumed front-runner, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, 68, is expected to announce her candidacy within the two weeks.
Predicting the future is always risky, but it could happen.
Hillary at 68, hmmm…..
Can’t imagine how much better she will be then!
(Bill will be dead. Why? Because he wants to be!)
New Orleans, if another 1,000 get killed, that will be PERFECT for them!
They will have a big celebration!
You are truly disgusting, Max.

Arnie is no Republican. He’s a RINO. Married to a Lib Kennedy.
What did you expect?
But I’m sure your party would use Arnold for his celebrity status if he was interested in coming to your little party, huh?
I said heads towards, not hits. But what would a Republican care anyway, oh that’s right, they flushed out the dems. with the last flooding.
Well now that Obama and Mcsame both missed the deadline to file for being on the ticket in Texas- and there are no laws for exception- will Texas go to Barr?
Looks like it must be so. No whining now.

Done here for the night.
And Scarborough lost it on MSNBC- someone needs to ask if he needs a doctor!
Says he’s loathed by his own party now. Gosh, I wonder why.

You were done long before 11:07.
Look for an emergency session to get the law changed.

Anyone with a brain, left before Katrina hit.
Are you done or not? Maybe you are Chas too.

As I recall, as New Orleans drowned, they tried to use it as a political objection lesson on the failure of government.
Which is kinda like sitting back in your lifeguard’s chair, sipping a margarita and watching someone drown, and going “Tsk! Tsk! It just shows the incompetence of lifeguards!”
We are ALL Chas, Max!
EVERYONE is Chas, if you believe!
Hallelujahgobble!

You and your party celebrated the body counts in New Orleans and Iraq.
Every milestone, 1,000, then 2,000, was celebrated. Every death was on the evening news, except for the last 6 months.
Something in Iraq must have changed, it’s not being reported every day any more.
Well now that Obama and Mcsame both missed the deadline to file for being on the ticket in Texas- and there are no laws for exception- will Texas go to Barr?
LOL! That would be fantastic!

Rage, did YOU go to New Orleans and dive in to swim those who were drowning?
No Rage, you sat at your house, sipping your Margarita, and drooled over the body counts. The higher the numbers, the better your election chances would be in Nov 06, and Nov 08.
Congratulations on your victory.
PSALM 2008-2012
FIRST BOOK OF DEMOCRAT
Obama Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want.
He Leadeth Me Beside Still Factories,
He Restoreth My Faith In The Republican Party,
He Guideth Me In The Paths Of Unemployment.
Yea, Though I Walk Through The Valley Of The Bread Line, I Shall Not Go Hungry.
Obama Has Anointed My Income With Taxes,
My Expenses Runneth Over My Income,
Surely, Poverty And Hard Living Will Follow Me All The Days Of My Life.
The Democrats And I Will Live Forever In a Rented Room.
But I Am Glad I Am an American,
I Am Glad That I Am Free.
But I Wish I Was A Dog
And Obama A Tree.

Hey Rage?
My Yahoo is messed up. Scroll up and try and get hold of Monkeyhawk. We need him in the coop.
And wow just wow.
I am well posted that I am not on board for Obama.
But the cons are in a complete ranting meltdown.
I was wondering tonight. In 2016, will bush be a motivational force at a con vention?
In a few days when the Con Convention is going on will we on the left be as scared and afraid as the cons are by OUR convention?
Nah, most likely it will be a snore fest. And a defunded, privatized, CON government will be incompetently addressing a hurricane.
BJ, ya got a job yet?
Nope, your still a Lib.
“And Scarborough lost it on MSNBC- someone needs to ask if he needs a doctor!”
Yeah Pmom. He’s been increasingly surley and unstable. It just PISSES him off that Rachel Maddow got his old prime time slot and he’s in the basement on the morning good ol’ boy clubhouse.
I find that morning show completely unwatchable. Not only is it the gop clubhouse.. It’s just STEW-PUD as Tracy used to say.
God, bring back Imus. At least he was smart and funny even if he was a bass turd.
I look for Mr. Dead Intern to move on over to Fux News very soon. I hope he takes willie and mika with him.
Outside of church, Have you ever heard God mentioned as much as it was at the ‘crat convention last night. Opened with a prayer by a rabbi and then it was God bless this and that. May God bless the USA etc.. etc…
Of course, I enjoyed hearing it, sincere of not. It was an acknowledgment of God. But the Democrat party has never been one to play the God card before. So what do you all think, especially you Democrat atheists and agnostics? Sincere, or just a cynical strategy to try to buy a few more votes from the faithful? To try to make themselves more palatable to an America where the majority believe in God.
Personally, I doubt the sincerity. Actions speak much louder.
