“You know I like Tiger. He's cool.
Now he's not a Tiger but a Cheetah.
Still, I like his golf play. Forget about his personal life. None of us are perfect.”

“Great post. I wish more of MSM would highlight how many of the Blue Dogs are receiving money from the HEALTH CARE LOBBY.
Its a shame that this bribery by the Corporate Health Care Lobby controls so much of this country, while people LITERALLY DIE because of their greed.

Please put the public option back on the table, the days of corporate america stealing from us at the expense of the middle class and poor people are over.

Blue Dog Dems should be ashamed of themselves. I propose that we shame these congressmen/women by showing on MSM DAILY how much money these people receive from the Health care lobby, and why they are really going lock step with what Health Care lobbyists want.

Come on Blue Dogs, people are dying, 150 people are going bankrupt every hour because of health care costs. Have these people no heart? Have they no soul?”

“This article is one for the ages. Tongue in cheek yet true. I love it.
There are probably more chumps to go around, I would like to see another article entitled:
"20 chumps that caused McCain to lose."

That article should be a doozie!

:”

“Agreed, it is a sight to see, and I thank the universe I am alive to see people coming together instead of being torn apart. Even though I supported Obama early, I was receptive to McCain, he never resonated with me, and his debate performance was dismal.”

“OBAMA SHOULD ATTACK MCCAIN.
OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE.
YET OBAMA DOES NOT RESPOND.
I am very very upset right now.
Obama should have nailed McCain on veterans, MCCAIN WAS AGAINST the VA BIll”

“OBAMA LOST THIS DEBATE, I support him, but HE LOST THE DEBATE.
Obama is forgetting that he is talking to moms and pops who are uneducated.
The crap that McCain is talking about is sticking ONLY because OBAMA IS GIVING MCCAIN A FREE PASS.”

“Obama has lost this DEBATE. He is way too polite, did not answer the insults hurled at him by McCain, and I think it will go against him.
Why is Obama giving McCain ANY TYPE of credit during the debate. McCain did not give Obama ANY fing credit.
OBAMA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, OBAMA DOES NOT GET IT, WHY DIDN"T OBAMA RESPOND TO THIS?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

“I agree with your article. And its an angle that not many people have talked about.
McCain has run a dishonorable campaign.
Shame on him.”

“We might start with the fact that there are more people in NYC than in the entire state of Alaska.
That ought to tell you everything.”

“Don't forget she may go overboard fighting Biden, making HER look bad. She has very little debating experience. I disagree that Biden will flub the debates.”

“Puma Ann,
You are not a true Hillary supporter because of one of the following:

1. You will vote Republican after voting for Hillary because Palen is female and for no other reason. This does not make sense.
2. You were never a true democrat but a Limbaugh voter who wanted to mess up the elections for a fight in Denver. Still doesnt make sense if in fact you voted for Hillary.
3. You have "other" reasons for not voting for Obama. Now THIS makes sense. But your' re still wrong.

Either way Missy, its your vote and you will throw it away for McSame which is fine. Millions of new voters will take your place and Obama will work just as hard for you as others who will vote against him.”

“I think that Biden graduated law school in the late 60"s, he would not have been drafted unless he quit school.”

“I like the comments, it indicates that he understands where he is in this moment of history.
He will be a great asset to Obama, and his Salomon Chase, and Bates-like statements(c. Lincoln) indicates that this duo will WIN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!”

“Amen brotha”

“Good thing I held my tongue, I didn't think Stranahan was watching the blog, but glad he is.
I think that you sound a bit full of yourself sometimes, but other than that, you make a good point. This should blow up or blow over soon.
However, a few things: If the Midwest Oil spill has not hit MSM, why should this news? Private citizen now, public candidate when this occurred I understand. But I think more like the French with respect to affairs of public officials: it has nothing to do with their ability to govern. Here in this country it does, so Edwards had to drop out fast which he did. But he must have known well fairly shortly after the kid was conceived that she was pregnant, no?
This should have zero effect on his ability to be in Obama's cabinet. Absolutely no effect.
Other than that, let's sing that song:

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One

But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

For Forty Days And Forty Nights
The Law Was On Her Side
But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand
Her Schemes And Plans
'Cause We Danced On The Floor In The Round
So Take My Strong Advice, Just Remember To Always Think Twice
(Do Think Twice)”

“If true this would be a tragedy.
But those are the breaks, especially when they come from one of the most infamous political philanderer ever Bill Clinton and his party.
Isn't he still in charge of the party, oh, that's right he's not in charge now Obama is.

Edwards is a guy I have little pity for. Supposed he won the nomination, what the hell was he going to do then? The gall of some people. But then we said the the same about Clinton, and everyone rallied around him. Let's see what happens now to Edwards, will people rally to him or will they throw him under the bus?”

“What an embarrassment!
Yet Americans elected this bozo in 2004, that was when I woke up.
Too bad the Dems did not have Dean down the stretch running because he would have been president hands down.”

“Senator Byrd,
I commend you for your service to this country. (And I hope your state, WV continues to progress in education and economic success). (Especially education).”

“Not even Obama will make much of a dent in the pork spent by Congressmen/women.

That is what worries me, because we need to get our house in order, get some programs done, and the people in Congress need to wake up and get a Universal type Health Care package done asap.”

“I love Robert Kennedy, and I agree with his efforts to keep Congress and oil companies' feet to the fire when it comes to getting gas prices down.

The problem I have with Kennedy is that he had a chance with an oil executive on Larry King Live to talk about the thousands of acres that are NOT being drilled, even though they could.

He mentioned nothing about that. And I feel that he missed a great opportunity to ask the oil man what he thought about the fact that they are NOT drilling like they should be with the lands they have NOW.

A missed opportunity, I know its tough, but he missed the ball on that show.

Other than that I support what he wrote in the article. Very very important stuff.”

“Creamer,

You must have been reading my posts!
First article that actually puts everything I have been saying in context.
You get it my friend, and I hope that you keep writing to help others in MSM see this as well.
That is the key, if you let MSM get away by feeding into the talking points of the Repub party Obama will have independents thinking that he is just another politician.
He is another politician, but there is something different about this politician.
So progressives, WAKE UP!”

“Dear Sen Obama,

You are right that FISA is imperfect. And I understand the need to compromise. After all you are now running to be President not only of the lefties, or the righties but of all Americans.

I thank you for the article, it shows that you care about what people are talking about. That alone is reason enough to stick with you. Bush and McCain want to scare us and hit us with soundbites, you on the other hand want to reason with us. This is a marked difference from what Americans are used to for the past 8 years. I am sure that while some are disappointed, they will appreciate the fact that you at least recognize that people are complaining, and you have addressed it. Keep open the lines of communication, I like it. And don't forget the fact that you represent the people, not big business.
Trying to turn course of the mighty ship called America will take time, but we are confident with you at the controls. Keep turning the ship, its huge, so it will take time, but the majority of the crew of the America will stand with you. Keep slowly turning the ship and do not stop. Whatever you do, do not stop.”

“Yes Arianna I think political JNKY is correct. Obama refused to sign a kids hand, not do a fist bump.
Hopefully you will revise. Other than that, great piece as usual.”

“Yes Enough, and McCain's flip flops don't bother you? Are you blind?
Politicians are politicians but Obama is a special kind of politician that encourages people to get involved in the process.
I don't agree with him on FISA but see his logic.
I think that he should stay the course and continue his support of FISA and vote against immunity. Then announce investigations that will begin once he is President as to the criminality of those who unduly spied on Americans. That is the best course, and that is something that most on the left will support. The extremists on either side may go ballistic but you can please all of the people all of the time in politics. And I accept that so long as Obama keeps his promises to the American people once President.”

“I do like David Gergen. The fact that he worked for both sides of the aisle is persuasive. His comments are very interesting, and he is one of the most objective people on TV.
Oprah may be good but since I dont watch her show I can't comment.
Brokaw, again, I just know him as a talking head, not someone like Russert.”
