“The DC fire departement said 70 - 80,000 tops. This is all malarkey. And the manistream media is in on it.

This is news for the dumb. And dumber.”

“Amen, Colorado Angry. The Right wing supports the troops by looking the other way. It isn't out of respect. These bozos usually LOVE road kill. Just look at the pictures and the headlines on the front pages of the rags they read and believe in.

If it weren't for the political capital that you or I might be able to make out of this photo, they'd be all over it. If it were a newly found shot of Mary Jo Kopechne's bloated body dredged up from Chappaquiddick, they'd be rushing to the newstand.”

“7granny, you are really really stupid. If I had my way people as stupid as you are wouldn't be able to vote. But I don't have my way -- because fair minded progressives like Obama are in charge. You should thank your lucky stars he's president.”

“Conservatives -- or at least this branch of their tribe -- hates the fact that a black man is president.”

“I keep telling her that clicking the ruby slippers doesn't work but I can't get her to stop.”

“What a winner. I'm not gonna whine. Nope. I'm just going to complain and call it being honest.

Get the hook and get her off the stage someone. Please.”

“Right it has been done before, at Indymac, and you want to know how well that went? The government just sold Indymac back into private ownership, at a LOSS of 10.9 BILLION dollars.

How that work for you? For me, have to say, not so much.”

“No you're not being dumb and thanks for you comment, which was a breath of fresh air. There's way too much of a lynch mob mentality about all this. It's going to hurt all of us going forward -- especially when It comes to stimulus programs.

The Republicans are setting us up on this, fomenting taxpayer anger simply to tarnish Obama's shine. And the Democrats are just trying to get out ahead of the Republicans. It's all a ridiculous show over chump change in the larger scheme of things -- politics as usual.”

“Clinton has to share some blame for that recession, like it or not, but comparing that recession to this thing we're in now is apples and oranges. This is a worldwide financial meltdown, and it's far deeper than anything that happened in 2001. A zillion times deeper.

So the new game of bringing up this comparison all the time is just Republican down is upism. How come Bush didn't come to congress shitting his pants in 2001 the way he did this past Fall, with Paulson at his side explaining that the world financial markets were in danger of collapsing?

What lies these and halftruths these terrible people spew. How do they sleep at night? The country's in a critical state economically and all they care about is positioning themselves for 2010 and 2012. they don't try to help, they just posture and puff. I don't see how anybody with a whit or morality about them could watch their devisiveness and deviousness and not want to retch.”

“Cramer thinks his show's serious or what?”

“Just get him off the stage. Get the hook and get him off the stage.”

“They seem like idiots.”

“He wasn't sucking up but he's not saying anything i want to hear. He's capitulating, not being exactly honest, and as a result he's not convincing. Hope his performance is better next week.”

“Absolutely. the silence has been almost deafening. What gives?

Laura Bush went on at the convention about Democrats too.

Do they think that saying it makes it so? Still?

Well maybe with their base. I guess. Where do those people come from?”

“Oh really? He probably had to move more people around as a community organizer than she does for her whole state. You could fit the whole population of Alaska in Central Park.”

“And don't leave off that he's never enriched himself through any abuse of his position. He's down near the bottom in terms of Senatorial wealth and has, in fact, a negative net worth.”

“No. Being stupid is bringing up your son and daughter in a way that makes them incapable of seeing the big lie that patriotic warmaking is in this country. War as we have known it in the past few decades has been a shell game that serves coroporate interests and makes money for companies like Halliburton and Brown & Root and very little beyond that. We haven't had an honorable war to fight since more than a half a century ago and anyone who brings her child up to not want to be cannon fodder is way smarter than you'll ever be.”

“You said it. Totally pathological. Guess she didn't get the right response to her VP feelers, so she's back on her broom.”

“She had no message. Time and time again the political historians point to message as the thing that makes or breaks you and she had none -- other than selling nostalgia for a past that's over and done.”

“The behavior of so-called feminists in the past few months has done more to reify negative stereotypes of women than anything I can think of in recent memory. The hyperemotional, sometimes utterly mindless, devotion of her female followers, searching for sexist innuendos under mushrooms and rocks, has been a sorry spectacle. It has set the woman's movement back ten years.”

“Doesn't look like the white blue collar vote won them the presidency either. Kerry lost it by 23% -- even Gore lot it, by 18%. Demographics, garnetwood, only get you so far. In the end, there's something called momentum, and Hillary Clinton never quite got that going. The last few primaries were her best, but she still couldn't -- as she herself is fond of saying -- close the deal.”

“It's also because he'll only be fifty. He has so few lines now, they had nothing to enhance so the photo just looks like bad stage make-up. And he won't be gray like that. There will be very little change.”

“McCain is seriously courting the black vote right now because he senses HIllary Clinton may get her way, and when she does the black vote will exit the Democratic party. Without which, by the way, the Democratic party assuredly cannot win. Welcome to for more years of Republican rule. And this time it needs to be called twilight in America. Forget morning. We're headed for the dark.”

“Clinton supporter Ed Rendell said it from the outside. Governor of Pennsylvania, so he should know, he said there are many many voters in his state that would not vote for a black man.”

“Bingo.”
