“As a black man I need to say that I thought Robert Downey's performance in Tropic Thunder was absolutely brilliant. There would have been no way anyone could tell that he was a white man playing a black man if it hadn't been established at the beginning. Just like Heath Ledger, he was lost in his role to the point where the actor as a man was nowhere to be found and all that remained was the character.”

“Wow how many times did she say "fair and balanced"? It absolutely astonishes me that Fox continually defends the notion that they are the ONLY news organization that reports it straight. If I was a newsman that would outrage me because they're telling every other news organization that they can't do their job.”

“Absolutely. The republican party is the biggest hack farce going today. And to compare them to comedic hack Larry the cable guy is a stroke of genius.”

“Great questions but regardless of the circumstances the Powell endorsement is probably the most thoughtful and thought-filled that I've heard from anyone. I say let's not over analyze it.”

“Powell: It's good to know the president is focused on the task at hand for once.
Bush: Won't you flyyyyyyyyyy hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, Freeeeeeee Biiiiiiiiiird, yeah! SOLO!!!”

“At the end of the day it showed both candidates as who they really are. Two people who see the world differently but that doesn't make either of them bad. I think Obama's set was funnier by far. I think he killed. The one thing that made me wince with Obama was the celebrity punching the paparazzi bit that seemed really forced. And with McCain his line about Bill Clinton and the Zoroastrian new year that was too cool for the room (and dare I say "elitist"?) But a good night for both candidates I think.”

“Right, and how long did he not wear a lapel pin before he finally wore one? Because God knows there weren't questions bombarding him everywhere concerning his patriotism because of it. And the Jeremiah Wright thing, because everyone knows that it was his job to screen everything everyone he ever knew said before he started running for president, even before he knew he was running for president. Why didn't Obama do something about that before hand? And also Senator Clinton who, before Obama came along, the MSM had her picking out drapes for the White House, why wasn't this little known Illinois senator able to just knock out the well known and respected wife of one of our better presidents? . Mr. Ridley might want a president who doesn't want to consider all aspects of the situation and who is flexible and adaptable to the multitude of problems that will face the American people in the coming years. Mr. Ridley might not care that the world pretty much can't stand and doesn't trust America or her leaders but there are some of us who do and we've decided that's it's not important for a president to prove to the world that he has the biggest balls. Who will be the better leader for America in these troubled times? That's a no-brainer.

Obama/Biden '08”

“This has all the trappings of "...you might be a Redneck"”

“This is the three ton elephant in the room as to why this election is so close:

“Obama said he would go through the federal budget and cut the useless wasteful programs which will provide money plus the added taxing of the rich because let's face it, they can afford it which will also help. Add to that the fact that he wants to implement some regulatory measures on Wall Street so that this idiocy doesn't happen again which will help to protect the money that's already there. And hey if you can find any solution that John McCain proposes that doesn't involve, "drill", "maverick", "reform" or "POW" then I'm sure we'd all love to hear it. Hell if you can provide any solution John McCain proposes to anything we'd all love to hear it.”

“I live IN New Jersey and had no idea there was a hamlet called "Colt's Neck" I'm ready to vote right now!!”

“The Republicans beat us everytime because no matter what they remain united. We as voters will get Obama into the White House. Or we as voters will allow McCain to steal it. Support Obama completely like the Republicans support McCain. Stop nitpicking and criticising everything that he does that isn't picture perfect to what you think he ought to do and convince someone that is on the fence why he is the better candidate. Barack said that "We are the ones we have been waiting for." And he's right.”

“Didn't the democrats choose a woman to be vice president over 20 years ago? What dark ages are you talking about? What the republicans are doing is nothing new just like McCains new (old) mantra of change. You swallowed his garbage hook line and sinker refusing to see it for what it is which is him throwing the chicks a bone despite the fact that this woman and Hillary are NOTHING alike but because Palin's a woman that means the Republicans should be applauded for doing something the democrats already did over two decades ago. It's people like you who care more about gender roles than the future of this failing country are the embodiment of the problem.”

“Reality check: Hillary does not care. She did the bare minimum for the party's sake and more importantly for her own public image and she's not gonna do much more.

“As long as Palin wants to hide the press then let her. Obama needs to re-enforce that McCain is the one people will be voting for. Keep slamming the point home that Ameircan believes that things suck and McCain voted for the massive suck and that won't change. Heck there's a catchline against McCain.
"80% of Ameircans believe that the country is on the wrong track. John McCain voted with George Bush 90% of the time to put us on the wrong track. If he gets into office THAT WON'T CHANGE"”

“For any of Hillary's supporters who want to throw in their lot with Palin: Just remember that Susan B. Anthony was a lowly "community organizer" too when you go to vote.”

“That's an awesome point but unfortunately it would just feed into the republicans delusion of Obama as the democratic messiah”

“Palin's speech proves to me that there isn't much she wouldn't do. Ambition, the lure of her place in history, the cutthroat nature of being a former beauty queen all contribute to this. Sarah Palin will say and do just about anything and her family is nothing more than fodder”

“Sarah Palin didn't do anything your average high school debater can't do. Does that qualify her for the "big time"? Unfortunately in this post Rovian world yes. I bet you could have a beer with her too. Or at least try to take her home from the bar. (God knows I would )”

“The saddest thing is that you're actually serious. You DO know that the Ayers story is like 40 years old don't you? Please explain to me why Obama is responsible for something somebody did when he was like seven years old?”

“Well see here's the thing Palin's inexperience is like Christmas come early. Obama has already shown McCain to be the doddering old clueless Bush/Cheny puppet that he is that point will be magnified ten fold after their debates. Anyone with half a brain will not be fooled by Palins definite hotness and will see that she's just a Geraldine Ferraro 2008. And finally, Biden will destroy Palin so badly in their debates that she's bound to get some sympathy votes from battered women. So a win/win politcal year for the GOP? Eh, not so much”

“Absolutely. Is he supposed to address and outline how he will solve every single one of the worlds ills in one speech?”

“Maybe you should have read Max's previous post,. If you did you'd have noticed that he doesn't mention Obama ONCE, so I'm guessing that Mr. Blumenthal doesn't think it relates to Obama either”

“It astonishes me just how quickly someone in the african american community gets jumped on when they tell other black people to stop acting like they expect us to. They did it to Bill Cosby and now they're doing it to Obama. What is right and proper still remains right and proper and if there is nothing that threatens the notion of white supremacy more a nation of black people all doing what is right and proper. They'd rather blacks keep acting ignorant but Obama is sick of that crap and quite frankly so are a lot of black people. So it's time for blacks to man the f--k up and do what is right and proper.”
