McCain Leaks Details Of Obama's Iraq Trip

What I would like answered is WHO told McCain? Someone at the WH?? posted 07/18/2008 at 19:22:27

Can America Afford a McCain First Term?

I tnought you were talking about MCCAIN, until you dragged up wright (!) Could you describe why McCain should be even considered for President? posted 07/19/2008 at 06:05:19

McCain: Obama Socialist? "I Don't Know"

McCain is following Hillary Clinton's campaign tactics. Remember "not as far as I know;" "not experienced," "just one speech," etc.. Did someone neglect to tell McCain that Hillary's tactics did NOT work? posted 07/19/2008 at 09:21:43

Obama's Multi-Million Dollar Question: What About The Hillraiser Holdouts?

Please explain why Hillary Clinton was the "best candidate." She lied; she whinned, she tried to parlay her first lady role (tea and cookies) into experience. BTW, she actually wrote a cookbook while in the WH; funny how that was never mentioned as part of her experience.

I am baffled. posted 07/15/2008 at 19:35:16

If you want to defend Bill's mouth, please do so with EXAMPLES, not by bringing up Michelle, who is NOT the candidate. posted 07/15/2008 at 10:54:03

Senator Obama needs to think about HIS supporters, not Hillary Clinton's supporters. Choosing HRC as VP would be a woeful mistake for Obama to make. posted 07/15/2008 at 10:50:14

Hillary's Failing: It Was All Someone Else's Fault

It was HRC who made the mistakes. When one looks back, there were MANY times when she could have won primarires or caucuses, if she had campaigned wisely. She lost because she did not deserve to win, not because she is a woman. If sexism were determinative, how could she ever have been the "inevitable," as she was for so many months . posted 07/18/2008 at 13:29:29

Yikes! Controversial New Yorker Cover Shows Muslim, Flag-Burning, Osama-Loving, Fist-Bumping Obama

The New Yorker magazine deserves to be trashed. Is it an exercise of the First Amendment to steal, hide in the stacks; otherwise make it unmarketable? I am outraged. posted 07/14/2008 at 21:42:26

Obama Hasn't Ruled Out Clinton As Vice President

Senator Obama; staff: are you listening? Please count me as one fervent supporter who is waiting to contribute to your GE funds until I know you are NOT selecting HRC !!! I am sure I am not the only one. posted 07/12/2008 at 21:09:20

Jesse Jackson Disparages Barack Obama: Caught On Tape (VIDEO)

Has Reed Tuckson been heard from on Jackson's words? He should speak out, as Jackson says he was RESPONDING to Tuckson. That seems unlikely from the "body language" on the video. posted 07/10/2008 at 04:52:45

Obama Makes Unscheduled Stop At Veep Vetter's Office Building

Thousands??? The limit is $2300. posted 07/09/2008 at 20:26:39

PLEASEEEE, Senator Obama, do NOT pick Hillary Clinton!!!! It would be a BIG mistake; it will shake up your supporters. posted 07/09/2008 at 20:25:37

Hillary's PUMA Voters: "It's Not Too Late!"

Hillary Clinton supporters regularly argue that the superdelegates stole the nomination from her by supporting Obama. But that was Hillary's sole pitch: the superdelegates. For puma to now want the superdelegates to "steal" the nomination from Obama is a blatant disregard for their own discontent. posted 07/09/2008 at 06:43:54

Obama Kids Tease Mom And Dad On Access Hollywood

Old Vs. Change: Voters' Images Of McCain And Obama

What is more important is McCain's lack of character. He is an adulterer. In all the talk about how McCain is getting "unfavorable" (true) press coverage, his lack of character is actually being largely ignored.

Evangelicals Contemplating Obama

McCain Uses Swift Boat Vet Bud Day To Rebut Wesley Clark

This is not on topic, but very worrisome. The pro-Hillary pumapac website has a photo of Obama and along it a picture of a vicious growling dog. This is scary. Is there anything we can do? posted 06/30/2008 at 15:54:12

Anti-Obama Vandalism: City Vehicles Spray Painted With Racial Attacks

Today, the pro-Hillary pumapac website has a photo of Obama and along it a picture of a vicious growling dog. This is scary. Is there anything we can do? They are definitely inciting violence (and vandalism?) now. posted 06/30/2008 at 15:57:54

Clinton Makes First Appearance As Obama Surrogate

Have Hillary and Bill Clinton contributed (money) to Senator Obama's campaign? I am disgusted and irritated that they expect him to pay off her debt, incurred when there was NO chance she could win the nomination. posted 06/27/2008 at 05:11:54

Hell No: P.U.M.A. Spokesman Will Bower on Post-Clinton Party Unity

I was surprised that Bower got media time; they must not have looked at his website. I checked it out, and now I look at it , just for a laugh. Believe it or not, there are lots of photos of CATS (what message is that, exactly?) and a few posters all saying tood night to each other. Their reason for existing is somehow lost in the inanity of it all. posted 06/26/2008 at 06:30:43

Dreams of My... Grandparents? Obama's Campaign Ad Omits All Mention of His Father

The ad says he was "raised by a single mother." Obviously, he has a black father. Much abo about absolutely nothing. posted 06/21/2008 at 06:26:14

Obama Opting Out of Public Financing

Senator Obama again demonstrates his wisdom and excellent judgment. This is a serious campaign, in serious times, and Senator Obama is serious about winning! posted 06/19/2008 at 18:10:15

A Cable News Abomination During the Gore/Obama Rally

Keith Olbermann was positively snippy because Gore and Obama did not come on before his show ended. Then he engaged in a silly speculation as what the Governor of Michigan could possibily be saying, when the sound could simply be turned on. Fortunately, Obama had in on live stream and I watched it there (even with partial sound loss, it was better than the nattering Dan Abrams!) posted 06/16/2008 at 22:50:28

McCain: Guantanamo Decision One Of the Worst Ever

I am shocked at John McCain. How can any thinking person, much less candidate for the Presidency, object to a detained person getting a HEARING??? That is what constitutional habeas corpus requires. On a smaller point, why would a fiscally responsible leader want to pay for indefinite detention, when a hearing could determine that the person should be released? posted 06/14/2008 at 10:00:31

Who, Me, Sexist? Confessions of a Cable-News Commentator

Why exactly is it "sexist" to say that a woman's voice shirll? Women are different from men, in physical characteristics, some better, some worse. Today, John McCain was described as having a comb-over, a feature that commonly turns women off. I do not understand why it is sexist to describe a person as having a feature that is common only to their sex. posted 06/13/2008 at 19:18:52

The Perfect Date

When I saw the title "perfect date," I expected a nice little story about Barack and Michelle's date this weekend (!) Just like the myth that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote is the fantasy that she belongs on the ticket. Consider instead: the Vanity Fair article, the new G. Flowers/P. Jones website; the enormous campaign debt. Just to name a few new problems. And BTW, calling a presidential ticket "a date" is too cute by half. posted 06/10/2008 at 16:16:22

Obama Launching "Joshua Generation Project"

I recall that Senator Obama spoke about the Joshua Generation during the Selma memorial. It seemed then that we all could be part of the Joshua Generation, in many different ways. This new effort is but one way. posted 06/10/2008 at 01:16:03

Hillary Loses Again

It is clear that the definition of "Truth" in relation to the votes Hillary Clinton received is based on wishes, not on reality. But, in any case, it was the delegates that count. And remember: Hillary Clinton's intent was to have the superdelegates decide the nomination; and they did. posted 06/09/2008 at 15:57:41

Two Senior Advisors: We'll Tell Hillary To Resign If She Loses Indiana

What Happened?? Remember Hillary's cringe-inducing "I am in it to win." Now it's "I'm in it to stay." Just a little more reality check needed. posted 04/01/2008 at 07:43:17

Hooked on Hillary

I certainly have been eager for Hillary Clinton to drop out. But now I am realizing that it may be better for her to stay in, so we can all, and I do mean all, finally get her and Bill out of our systems (politically, psychologically, and any other wise). When the end does finally come, there will be little substance, and none of it trustworthy, left of her, including "and" and "the". I just hope someone is waiting in the wings to run against her when her Senate term it up!! My checkbook will be ready. posted 03/30/2008 at 19:11:36

Hillary: That "I'm Human" Is A Revelation To Some People

On the media's coverage, try this: google "Hillary lies" and "Hilary misspeaks." None of the main stream media is willing to say she lied. Why is that? Why can't the media be truthful??? posted 03/26/2008 at 23:12:22

HE'S BACK: Bill Clinton's Campaign Remarks

I am beginning to wonder if any of the media has viewed the full video of Wright's sermon? Moments before his famous comment he was talking about Bill Clinton and how he was a friend (compared to Bush). Not a mention about this in the media, nor in most ranting blogs. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:01:19

14 Painful Things Hillary Knows -- Or Should Know

What is important is what the superdelegates should know. Add to the above: Senator Obama has coattails, Hillary Clinton does not; voters will not tolerate the Party allowing the Clintons to steal the nomination; Hillary has alienated a large number of voters, not just the young and minorities; Hillary Clinton has less than a 50% credibility margin among voters; not only does Hillary Clinton NOT have coattails, alienated voters will stay at home and not support legitimate Democratic candidates. Thank you, Governor Richardson! He said it so well. posted 03/21/2008 at 21:17:52

Obama Endorsed By Bill Richardson

James Carville said Richardson was taking the 30 pieces of silver. To James: HIllary Clinton is NOT Jesus Christ, and your statement on Good Friday is itself a betrayal of Christian values. Fundamentally, Jesus was for others, not for Himself. Hillary is the opposite. posted 03/22/2008 at 06:12:06

Joe Klein 'Stingray' Comment Shocks, Embarrasses CNN Colleagues

I quit watching network news years ago and just this week gave up on cable. Except for Rachel Maddox, commenters (they are not really reporters any more) don'seem invested in the truth but in spinning it,and not even spinning it to support their point view, but to play the public, just to keep a trend going , or if they are bored, start a new trend (who is ahead, who is behind).
Better to read newspapers, and the web. Destill and think for ourselves. Feel much better! posted 03/21/2008 at 06:14:45

Bill Clinton And Jeremiah Wright Photo Uncovered

I am beginning to wonder if any of the media (or anyone else) has viewed the full video of Wright's sermon? He talks about Bill Clinton as a friend (compared to Bush). Not a mention about this. My point is not that bill Clintonis implicated but to show that most commenters/reporters/bloggers have not seen the video, just hte Fox clip. Sigh posted 03/22/2008 at 22:22:20
