“No Animosity”

So, last night was the Big Speech, in the Greek Temple, by the ONE. What did he do? He decided to channel Hillary Clinton. Oh, and Aaron Sorkin. One of the lines he is getting so much press on is a variation on a line from the movie, The American President. It was the line that the pundits labeled “excellent,” of course. And that was when he said McCain’s problem was “that he just didn’t get it.” I recognized it as soon as I saw it. Wow, I am so surprised that he wasn’t the least bit original. Hahaha! Good one, right?
Here’s the thing: I don’t want a poor copy of Hillary Clinton. Someone who doesn’t have the passion, compassion, conviction, and intellect of Hillary Clinton. The one who can mouth her words, but not be able to DISCUSS them because he neither wrote them nor cares what the words say. He is a sham candidate, foisted upon us by a sham party. Way to go, DNC.
And one of the people who foisted Obama on us, who backed him but claimed he wasn’t until the beginning of June, is none other than my representative, and House Whip, Jim Clyburn. And he did it by demeaning Bill Clinton. You know, Bill Clinton, the one who spoke the other night so eloquently, as only he can? The first “black president”? The one under whom our economy was so good? That one?
Let me refresh your memory on what Jim Clyburn said about Bill Clinton, on our “friend,” Keith Olbermann’s show:
Oh, and Rep. Clyburn? The “WILL OF THE PEOPLE” WAS overturned by the SuperDelegates when they supported OBAMA, not Clinton! So many of the counties, districts, and STATES she won had the SDs go to Obama in clear contravention to the will of the people. So, how do all of those folks who wrote you feel about this NOW, or do they not care as long as THEIR candidate won? DO they not care HOW he got it as long as HE got it?
Oh – and Keith was right – there WAS “traitorous” acts – and they were perpetrated by the RBC of the DNC, and the Obama campaign with caucuses. Whatever. As long as it’s not Hillary, right?
Anywho, so during the primary, Clyburn had some tough stuff to say about Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton who has done more for the African American community than ANY other president. That one. After President Clinton’s outstanding speech the other night, Jim Clyburn was interviewed by Judy Woodruff. Here is the transcript from that interview in an article, Delegates Rate Speech “Outstanding“:
JIM LEHRER: Let’s go now to Judy Woodruff, who’s on the floor there among the — the Clinton reaction, Judy?
JUDY WOODRUFF: Jim, I am here on the floor with the third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, Representative Jim Clyburn of the state of South Carolina.
What did you think of the president’s speech?
REP. JIM CLYBURN (D), South Carolina: A great speech, outstanding. As I said earlier today, I expect for Bill to be Bill. And he was Bill tonight. I really believe that he teed it up well for Barack Obama, and I think tomorrow night we’ll — he’ll do what he has to do tomorrow night.
JUDY WOODRUFF: There were some differences between you and some others with President Clinton with some of the language he used during the tough primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the question of whether he injected race into the campaign at a couple of points. Is all forgiven on that front?
REP. JIM CLYBURN: Well, I never had a problem. I made it very clear. I admire and respect Bill Clinton. I think he was a great president. I was pleased to be in the Congress to help with that, so I never had a problem.
I do believe, though, that a lot of things that got said could have had more than one meaning. And it got carried in more than one way.
And so I still think that he is an outstanding person, and I have no animosity toward him at all.
JUDY WOODRUFF: How much will his support — how much difference will his support make in this general election campaign?
REP. JIM CLYBURN: I think it means a great amount of difference, especially to our base supporters out there. These people love and admire the Clintons. And they really needed to hear what they heard last night and what we’ve heard tonight.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Congressman Jim Clyburn, the House majority whip, thank you very much.
REP. JIM CLYBURN: Thank you.
Well, golly gee, Jim. YOU may not have any animosity toward Bill Clinton, but I imagine he might just have some toward YOU for disparaging him, for demeaning him, for implying (at the very least) that he was a RACIST. Yeah, he might not be too keen on YOU right about now. You tried to ruin his reputation, and YOU have no animosity toward HIm. That’s rich. Really rich.
But here’s the thing about BIll Clinton: he has class. He may have grown up dirt poor, but the man has class. And integrity. You and your candidate could sure take a lesson or a thousand from Bill AND Hillary on class and graciousness.
You know, now that it is official that Obama is The One, I have said I would vote downticket. But that means voting for Jim Clyburn. Frankly, there is no way in HELL I’m going to support that man after what he did to Hillary and Bill. Hmmm. Looks like I might not even be going to the polls for the first time in my adult life this time around (and before you tell me that I MUST vote for McCain, I assure you – I will give it serious consideration as a way to make clear to the DNC that I will not support a Party that lies, cheats, and steals. I am not there yet. As a lifelong Democrat, that is a hard, hard place for me to go. So can we just leave it at that, that I’ll think about it? Great. Thanks.).
The DNC is broken. People like Jim Clyburn helped break it. I can think of no better reward for him than to lose his seat. Or at least being the Whip. Hey, here’s a thought – how about Dennis Kucinich being the Whip? He hasn’t trashed the Clintons, or painted them as racist. He holds all of the positions Progressives hold dear. Sounds like a good option to me! Maybe he should push for THAT position!! Oh, that would be FUN to watch, wouldn’t it? Whoever, however, it would sure be nice for Clyburn to lose that power position he holds, wouldn’t it? I think so. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy, IMHO.
Jim, you may not have animosity toward President Clinton, but I sure have animosity toward you for what you did. To quote another line from The American President: “You have bigger problems…You just lost my vote.”

That’s Barack Obama.

You aren’t very smart if you are voting for Obama.

Barack who?
ummmm, uhhh, ummm, I uhh, heard he was, ummm, the uhh President of O Force One.
I overheard the news at the hospital today. A priest and another guy were coming around the corner and I heard them taking about Palin. That’s how I found out he picked her for sure.
I am now on record (about a month ago) mentioning Palin for VP. After hearing Neocon Kristol mention her months ago.
Moose stew being her favorite meal! Gotta luv it!
This is gonna be a WILD NOV.
I was in Alaska ONCE in 1979. BEAUTIFUL!!
speaking of beautiful, she’s a heck of a lot better looking than biden and his hair plugs!
and I am NOT LOSING MY MIND she IS A BRUNETTE!!
too bad it’s melting.
“I was in Alaska ONCE in 1979. BEAUTIFUL!!”
boy YOU must be fun at a party
“you will be unemployed again in less than 67 days……lol” not mine but great line
I don’t understand this idiotic comment. Is this a 13 year old writing? Hillary is our love- but she had a chance to leave her party- she knew how corrupted it had become and chosed to stay. She knew about Larry Sinclair-birth certificate- islamic ties- ayers- etc., etc., Her people kept asking her to go on her own- she decided to stay with the evil Obama and his minions. She worked really hard campaigning for him and she got “crap”. Now, the support is going over to Mccain and Palin- simple as that! We love you Hillary- but we are moving on!
Speak for yourself. She can’t just up and leave the party, that’s unrealistic and you know it. She’s a loyal Democrat, the party was hijacked and there’s nothing she and Bill could do about it or they would have. We the people will get it back to set her up in 2012. Then we can try this all over again and do it the right way – democratically.
One hopes enough contributions will be made by Pelosi & Co to pay off HRC’s debt and leave her with some to support her candidates for bending over the way she did.
I still have hope that Barky will be indicted soon enough to really make him unelectable. He really does have a lot of irons in the fire that may burn him soon.
yes, Hillary Clinton IS SMART. However, the poster taking this fact as a posting name isn’t.
I’ve never been more ashamed to be a democrat before in my life. I never thought I’d be ashamed of it. Even during the Carter years, I found good points about him. He was a very intelligent man, had a degree in Physics. He was a great humanatarian when he left office. I have come to terms with the fact that he was a lousy president and that obami will be an even worse president.
Being a great leader takes qualities obami doesn’t have, it takes character obami doesn’t have, it takes humility obami doesn’t have, it takes class obami doesn’t have.
I still adhere to the words of the Great Martin Luther King Jr who said that in his dream, a persons value won’t be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. MKL was right, MLK was a great leader, he knew that CHARACTER was what made a leader. He told us to look beyond skin color and look at Character. MLK would have voted AGAINST barack obama and FOR Hillary Clinton because he KNEW what character looked like and obami has NONE.
It is shameful that on the anniversary of such a great man that the example of what he did NOT want was nominated for the Democratic candidate for POTUS. A great disservice was done to MLK on that day, a disservice to his hard work, to his sacrifice and to his dream.
Are you twelve? go Twitter your rage elsewhere.
My view Rep Clyburn is the bigot, no way, no how, no Clyburn EVER. I am not willing to give Pelsoi any more power period.
During the primaries all we heard and saw were inter-
views with Rep. Jim Clyburn as the “stamp” of dis-
approval of the Clintons stepping on OB’s “fresh face
and rising star”! The MSM had him everywhere. Well,
why not now? With these more “refined” statements?
I guess for the same reason they didn’t focus on his
SC earmark problems.
Good post RRRA.
Jack Tapper of ABCNews posted this story about an encounter between Obama and Biden…
At the Windmill Ice Cream Shop in Aliquippa, Penn, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, asked his running mate if he was getting hard of soft ice cream.
“Let’s see what we’ve got here,” Obama said as he approached the counter.
“So,” he said to Biden, “you decided to go with soft?”
“I’m getting hard,” Biden said. “I’m a hard guy.”
Chuckles all around as Obama orders his wife a small sundae.
There we go folks, the guys on the Democratic Ticket… I am sure even a 10 year old would know the double entendre in thier “joke”…
Obama’s New Democratic Party: Home of Sexism, Racism, Misogynism and a Glass Ceiling for Women.
The New Democratic Party Penis Brigade. Very fitting. I used to like Biden before he had his son make up a warrant for Larry Sinclair. I don’t know that much about Sinclair but that was a mob hit so to speak.
Nobody cares what you want troll.
I agree with you almost entirely. Do you think it possible for this revolution to advance w/o animosity, or is that a staple? I suppose it serves as a motivator. After almost 2 years now of being emotionally, financially, and politically involved with Hillary’s campaign I tire of the anger. I am assured that you are correct in your thinking as it relates to doing battle. I also am assured that we most certainly are doing battle. Is there a means of doing battle by means of peaceful actions in this age?
To clarify, I agree almost entirely with RRRA.
Palin’s gives credit to Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for paving the way. She also wants to shatter the 18 million cracks left by Hillary Clinton.
Obama and his minions made derogatory comments about Ferraro and Hillary and their supporters.

I love that Palin gal. I am so excited to vote for McCain. I think he just won the election by choosing her as his VP. I sure hope so because there will be a mass exit from the US if Obama is elected president. It is a sin that he has gotten as far as he did. MLK is turning over in his grave. Obama is not the kind of man MLK would have respected. MLK knew character and he could spot a phony a mile away.
“I do believe, though, that a lot of things that got said could have had more than one meaning. And it got carried in more than one way.”
What an assinine to say!
So of course, as his friend, rather than defending him, I let the press misinterpret what he said and joined them in their fake outrage.
Rabble rouser: I too am a 50 year Dem and have never wavered in voting for Dems. But for the first time I am going to vote Republican and McCain’s choice of Palin today cemented that for me. Why? I think McCain just shot a torpedo across the bow of the good ship Republican that said it is McCain the Maverick that is going to run for the presidency. I think McCain and Palin will have a clear agenda about reframing and restructuring the Republican party. That McCain I respect. I even envy the Republicans because their party needs a huge clean up and reinvention and they actually have a chance to have that happen. The Democrats need the same medicine but with Obama beholden to a Democratic leadership that has proved it has no courage to be the Democratic Party we are not going to get that. The only way I think Democrats may see their party survive is if this mess they have created gets them the results they deserve—a landslide loss at the polls. Then Hillary will have the opportunity to do what I think McCain will do for the Republicans. So my vote will be Republican for what I hope is the first and only time in my life and McCain’s choice today gave me some confidence that I can cast that vote with less risk than I could hope. My dream is that McCain gets a cleaner GOP going and sets the table for HRC to clean the clocks at DNC headquarters.
jangles–You are so right. I, too, have thought about McCain’s presidency as a path that will purge and restore the Grand Old Party.
Too bad the DEMs are now undergoing our neo-liberal/ neo-con Bush pangs now! But the sooner Obama loses the sooner we will be able to restore our own Party with Hillary at the helm. She may even be running against Palin next time around–but I welcome that! It’s about time women take the center stage in national politics!
YES! “Set the table for Hillary!” Great line.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
i agree. i’m just going to vote how i’m voting and thats that
http://community.adn.com/adn/blog/34446?page=6
Sarah Palin at the fishing boat. (You have to scroll down a few stories.)
Since I love Deadliest Catch, I have to say that picture of her rocks!
kewllllllll!
I think this VP choice, if McCain wins, will clean up both parties.
The GOP will have to listen to more than their base, because it will be voters beyond their base that put them in.
The Dems will have to get rid of the current leadership, because they are tired of loosing and this game did not work.
I think we are maybe getting close to creating a U.S. country and people first environment that my kids might consider worthy.
I can dream.
That’s not just a dream. Look what she did in Alaska already. That takes cojonnes the frail effeminate cowardly Obama’s not even read about in history books.
Hey Amy,
Great article. To the point:
A vote is not symbolic – it’s STRATEGIC. You MUST think of what’s good for the nation. McCain/Palin can be contained for four years; Palin can root Obama out of Washington and Obama and Daley out of Chicago; THESE ARE GOOD THINGS!
Don’t waste your right to vote. MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Vote strategically.
Thank you.
Best to you, Amy!
Love ‘n’ Hugz
Great post, as usual. Depressing that the year started with so much promise and ended up like this. I didn’t even want Hillary to run at the beginning and I grew to admire and respect her. I made thousands of calls for her and sent money I couldn’t afford. She’s so genuine, so smart and such an amazing fighter. She cares about helping people. She was never running for a stadium full of fireworks.
I don’t have much stomach for Krauthammer but this is a good analysis of BO and worth reading:
http://tinyurl.com/55kbqb
I’m voting McCain to send a BIG message to the Democratic party that I won’t support it as the corrupt entity it’s become. The nomination was stolen and we know it. It’s important to tell Donkey Brazile that yeah, maybe they do need us.
Ditto here. She got better and better.
My favorite was her stomping both Obama and loverboy Edwards, when they were doing a debate pile-on.
When it was just Clinton and “Politically Correct Genes” she stomped him.
Backstabbing Clyburn.
Some “friend.”

but the MILF part is an homage to the obama girl, which had its part in starting this whole sordid mess, got the NIKES involved, yadda yadda yadda
great post kev, cant stop laughing
Somewhere
HRC is laughing her butt off
Hope its someplace warm, tropical, with no cell phone service and a nice tall daquiri in her hand
she’ll turn to Bill and Chelsea and say
Looking good Billy Jeff!
and he’ll reply
2012!
ROFLMFAO!! I nearly fell off my office chair laughing today when I snuck an online peek at the Maverick’s hush hush VP pick. Bush III and Catherine Harris, whadda ticket!!! The first debate between the beauty pageant, soccer mom, staunchly anti-choice, NRA lovin’ gun-slingin’, moose huntin’, oil drillin’ CREATIONIST FREAK FROM HELL ITSELF and Biden will be rip-roaring heeelarious. And what a clumsy ass speaker! I can’t wait till she argues that first graders should be taught in the classroom that the universe is 6,000 years old, was created in a week, and Adam and Eve frolicked with T-Rexes. It’ll be a hoot!
And just to preempt any dumb asses, I’m a woman.
And also an idiot
LOL!
You should go to that surgeon and get a temperament transplant too.
She not a soccer mom bozo bot. She can do more than you can..she flies planes, drives large fishing vessels, runs the state of Alaska, takes care of 5 kids, and more..she is wonderful and and and and..unlike Obama & Biden, she has integrity and ethics! We do not vote for crooks. Now blow it out of your arse will ya?
She can also shoot a moose and feed her family from it.
Moose tastes like swamp plants, but my point is valid, none the less.
Barfy is royally fucked.
Possession of a uterus is no bar to idiocy.
Harris couldn’t carry Palin’s hunting boots.
If you are a kool aid drinking bot, and you know the Republican party is 100 percent behind McCain, then why would you go around the different blogs calling Palin a “vagina” and a “porn star” and suggesting she only got picked, because she sucked McCains dick … I mean there are other ways to get the point accross you dont like Palin, but to seemingly go out of your way to offend the single biggest voting block in your party, does not make any sense, ecspecially considering after what happened with Hillary … Those bots are not the sharpest tools in the shed are they ???
These kids filthy mouths need to be washed out with soap. Where are their parents. They need to do kid things and get out of adult matters.
Clyburn needs to know there is one other thing Bill Clinton has–a long memory.
No kidding wac………………he does indeed
Palin.
Brilliant pick
Let the Obama Machine attack.
She has no experience will continually remind them that Obama doesn’t either.
And any attacks against her based on misplaced mysoginistic overtones will remind woman what they did to hillary.
Commentators are saying on the liveral side that it takes the McCain no Experience argument off the table. LOL NO! It takes McCains argument and puts it in obamas mouth for when he turns to barry in the debates and blasts him for being a hypocrit.
Anybody who thinks the palic choice was just a simple grab at hillary voters is too naive to understand politics.
The real run for the White House has just begun and the Obamamanchild and his schoolyard thugs are about to find out that there is more to this game then set pieces, racebaiting and in the tank media pundits.
On a side note the meltdown at MSNBC between the so called reporters is hillarious. I cant wait till Either Olbereman or Mathews picks up a folding chair and smashes the other over the head during a broadcast.
It will be the most viewed item in YouTubes history.\
Now let the games begin.
McCain and Carly promised us Dems for McCain that there would be more women in his administration. So far, he is a man of his word. Thank You Mccain.
Yea, I was just wondering what happened to Catherine Harris the other day, and then I saw today that John McCain selected her as his running mate.
I know Sarah Palin
And Catherine Harris is no Sarah Palin
Yep , just another reason to show us why the Democrats don’t win elections.
Took me a few hours today to realize it but Palin was an excellent choice for McCain. In one of McCain’s town halls he was asked if his staff would be 50% women and he said he could not guarantee that as they would be the “most qualified people for the job” but he did say he would make sure women had a presence through out his staff. Promise made, promise kept!
We heard through out the primary that Republican women were willing to cross party lines for Hillary, here is hoping democratic women will cross party lines to vote for Palin.
Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright excellent commentary.
You nailed it.
Campbell Brown just had a conniption with the news about Palin as VP choice. Brown actually turned red with anger and indignation at such an “insulting” GOP choice!
This outrage by one of Ozombie’s media surrogates made my day! Oh, yeah, Cafferty was more sour than ever!
Really, they are just too funny to watch! Having a great day. Thank you McCain and Palin!
>>> Campbell Brown just had a conniption
Surprised I am that she could remove her nose from Hope-a-Dope’s fundament long enough to manage a conniption.
You people should be ashamed. You obviously do not care about the issues. Hillary ran a shit campaign and lost, it’s that simple. You need to get over it, but you won’t will you? Instead you bunch of fools are going to put a Republican in office that will NOT be acting in your best interest. You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face, do us all a favor and cut 5 inches lower and put us out of your misery.
Putting an inexperienced unqualified crook from chicago with some incredibly poor choices of who he surrounds himself with for 20 years into the whitehouse speaks volumes about your own judgmenet and integrity. What does that say about what you are willing to do to your own face.
OBAMA=DO NOT WANT. CAPICE? DO NOT WANT EVIL THUGS IN THE WHITEHOUSE. CAPICE? DO NOT WANT ARROGANT, INEXPERIENCED MARXIST IN THE WHITEHOUSE. CAPICE? DO NOT WANT!
DO NOT WANT CHICAGO MACHINE IN THE WHITEHOUSE. LET’S NOT MAKE MATTERS WORSE OKAY?
At least you admit that you will LOSE
and better than that, you admit that we need to “Get over it”
What I won’t get over is:
Disenfranchisement
Sexism
Racism
Incompetence
Inexperience
Too bad, you LOSE!!
Game, Set and
Match
OBAMA RAN A STEALING, VOTE SUPPRESSION, LIEING, CHEATING, CAMPAIGN AND HILLARY RAN AN AWESOME CMAPAIGN WHERE SHE WAS WINNING NEARLY EVERY STATE AFTER SUPER TUESDAY BY HUGE MARGINS..CAPICE? OBAMA CHEATED AND PELOSI DELIVERED. OBAMA WAS NOT VOTED IN! OBAMA WAS SELECTED NOT ELECTED BY THE DNC AND BY SUSPENDING VOTER RULES WITH VOTES BEING COUNTED! HELLO? ANYBODY LISTENING?
You’re lying. That’s cut and dry.
Plus, you’re stupid.
and so very uninspired and not original at all.
This SoeBot gets a D- for Dead Boring.
(WE ARE NOT MEN WE ARE SOEBOT)
18 million votes and winning 23 contests is a shit campaign compared to who? Dean, Edwards, Biden?. An interrupted roll call vote? totally staged so Obama “always appeared” to be ahead the entire time?
That is the problem with the Obot supporters. You really can’t deliver a compelling argument without insulting everyone.
Now the sexism and mysogyny will turn against Palin by the faux progressives who only excused their behavior because it was against Hillary. John McCain, Palin and the entire RNC who never did a damn thing for women will stand up and box their ears and make them all look like fools. This is going to be sad and the dems are stupid
Issues? barry ballless was too busy running from Hillary to ever talk about issues. Pull your head out, eric.
looks like McCain is running a superb campaigne and had us at Hello Hillary supporters.
I got two calls months ago for me to join a Town hall forum from the mcCain camp. I got nothing from Barry.
Hey Doona? i found a place to go.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmkay

Get Over it.
You get over it! You Ozombies pushed us out of the Party and now we’ve moved on!
Sayanara suckers!
Barak in office would be worse than a Republican. He has made it clear he doesn’t need our votes. Undoubtedly God will come down and Coronate him for life.
Obama can call himself what he wants, but Bill Clinton is “Still the One” for a lot of loyal Democrats. The only person in this country who could ever surpass him as President is his wife. SHe has defined the meaning of “grace”.
Obama better get used to being second best, because he will never be able to compete on a fair playing field with either of the Clintons.
apishapa Barry still owes Bill an apology for the racist game pulled.
Damned right he does. And he owes Hillary apologies for hundreds of sexist comments/gestures. It willnot happen though because he does not have that quality of graciousness that the Clintons have. He simply cannot findit in himself to acknowledge tha there was anything wrong with “99 Problems and a Bitvh Ain’t One”. He thinks it was cute and acceptable.
Neither Clinton would ever stoop that low.
This is wonderful. A VP from Pacific Northwest (sort of) who has true grit, integrity and honor. Will the West go to Mccain? Highly likely! All the Republican women who were ready to vote for Hillary will now vote for Mccain instead of staying home.
Yes and McCain and Palin have been politically adroit enough to treat Hillary, Ferraro and, by extension, women voters, with respect in their campaign speeches.
Obama still can’t seem to figure out how to do this.
What an arrogant dunce. Honestly.
Now his assinine campaign is insulting Palin because she went to the U. of Idaho and not Harvard. And also insulting her because before she was Governor of Alaska, she was the Mayor of a town of 9,000 — good Obie! Way to diss more of those small town, “bitter” folks.
Is he a complete boob or what?
I truly think he is trying to kill his own campaign with this kind of elitism and disrespect.
Oh, since she is middle America and mainstream America, Obama is insulting her.
She wasn’t a person of privilege like Obama and that’s bad?
Obama grew up with an elitist background and Palin had to work to get ahead like most of Americans.
Boy, does Obama not get it! He assumed HRC supporters had “no where to go” and were thus expendable! But he was sooo wrong! Imagine writing off 27% of the Dem party! He and his Confederacy of DUNCES were so focused on destroying the Clintons and the Dem Party that they lost sight of the forest for the petty trees.
My sister and Mom (life-long Dems) who are on a cruise in Alaska called me as soon as they heard the news of McCain’s VP pick. They said they now have a reason to vote FOR McCain rather than just against OPrecious.
Well I just answered my own question. I just turned on Olbermann for the first time in 6 months, and caught his “analysis” with Rachel Maddow. They did not even give a hint of being objective. It can not be passed of as news, by even the loosest definition. It wwas simply just a Obama “propoganda” session, but if you go on Kos, they swear by KO as being the only legitimate newsguy out there. They have been completly BRAINWASHED. They are just living inside this MSNBC – KO cacoon. They dont have any idea what is really happening. They think that CNN is a Republican network. LOL. The bots just have no clue, and thats why they do such stupid things as constantly insulting the very group they need. (women) They dont realize the Republicans dont care what KO says, and they are energized and united behind this Palin pic, and if the bots just go around insulting Hillary supporters and women in general, they are going to have a fractured Dem party at best supporting Obama, which is no match for a unified Republican party. (Just simple mathmatics)
2TObama: Before you laugh yourself silly take a look at the shots of Palin in fishing gear, shooting a rifle, on the cover of Vogue as Miss MO (big swing state), and remember what the soccer moms have done to the last few Dems. Add the fact that about 60% of voters support “more drilling”—nor has she put creationism in the classroom. I think a lot of those independents are going to like a “maverick” Republican woman who hunts moose. It is the condescending tone of your remarks and their sexist bias that marks the Democratic party today with failure and will haunt Obama.
JOHN ROBERTS ON CNN:
Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”
WTF? Is this gonna get any worse than this? Could somebody please get a video clip of this? CNN you have reached the Gates of Hell.

See I swear I should write FOX a letter (not there yet) but this is how the DEM big wigs, CNN & MSNBC have turned me OFFFFFFFFFFFF
I am so OFFFFFFFFFFF
that I am about to turn past purple to maroon and they don’t really realize what an advocate they’ve lost!!!
it makes me want to kiss a republican for recognizing a hypocrite when they see one and it’s apparently woke them up as well ….. they’ve been on such good behavior I just want to kiss them too!!!
bravo I would have never believed it – I’m so glad MOST of you are OVER BUSH!!! It took 8 yrs for you all to get something right!
Maybe DEMS will be that lucky in oh 4 yrs or so? maybe 8
yep voting RED and not a bit afraid to say it!
(strangggggggggggggge feeling)
JOHN ROBERTS you sexist ass! Why don’t you call for her to step down as the Governor of Alaska because clearly she should be staying home changing diedees! In fact, let’s throw anyone out of office who is planning on having a child during their term.
Who’s with me? I’ll start a list…
One of the big ongoing questions I ask in politics is where the value of partisan ends and principle begins.
I’ve been a Democrat-supporting independent, then after 2000 registered as a Democrat, and after Obama stole the DNC ops to Chicago registered unaffiliated again. I’ve settled into a New Democrat outlook long after the fact, with hindsight, but the more this Obama/Dean/Axelrod crap continues the more unfettered of Democratic loyalty I become.
Obama has claimed, ever since 2004, to be reaching out to Independents and Republicans. But if you’re truly post-partisan, you don’t support someone just because they’re a Democrat, or refuse to vote for someone just because they’re Republican. You vote for the best person for the job (which, by the way, I see as a truly progressive value – in a non-partisan, non-leftist sense of the word). By Obama’s own professed notions of doing what’s right, -anyone- should be as open to voting for McCain as for Obama, and make their decision based on reason and demonstrated character, not on party affiliation. After all, BO is the one who said that the Republicans had been the “party of ideas” in recent years.
And yet that’s not the whip that the DNC and the Obama camp is cracking today. Everyone who’s been (or leant) Democrat is supposed to see a Republican as the vilest thing on earth, and unquestioningly accept the obvious smear that McCain and Bush are the same – they weren’t the same in 2000, nor when McCain pushed the adminstration to come clean on torture, to abandon the disastrous Rumsfeld strategy, to provide more transparency and accountability in military budgeting, etc. etc. And the exaggerated invective of the left which has completely taken over the party from the top down (thanks to Dean and the rabid left) is the opposite of a tone of national unity and tolerance.
You can’t pretend to be post-partisan and spew the most bitter partisan rhetoric in recent memory – certainly this year’s DNC tone is at least as divisive and partisan as the anti-Clinton right in the 90’s. Obama’s message on the current state of America sounds Mondale-desperate – never mind what Bush has done in the past 8 years, a lot of us have done some pretty good things.
So, I’m done with partisanship and will go back to principle. I’m going to remain undecided until Nov. 4, but right now I look at McCain, and I look at Obama, and I see one experienced man I respect and one ambitious man I suspect. Never mind parties; who between these two, personally, can you really trust to hold the reins of this nation? Hillary is not an option now; if she was, I’d already have doubled down on the maxed-out contribution I made in the primary, and would be working for her every day. But that does not mean I take marching orders from her, or anyone else; I’m conducting this job interview, they’re applying. I suggest those of us with an independent streak hold our cards and see how this unfolds, but remember: it’s YOUR choice, not the party’s, not the media’s, not the blogosphere’s – not even Hillary’s.
Yes there appears to be a bit of a disconnect occurring.
Makes one wonder if there is some personality fragmentation occurring within the DNC leadership and the faithful SoeBot fanatic nincompoopia. A dis-integration, as it were.
I’m a lifelong, dedicated Democrat who has never once voted for a republican. And this year I’m voting for McCain. Not voting is not an option for me – a vote NOT for barky’s opponent is a vote for barky as far as I’m concerned.
I’m voting McCain/Palin for one main reason – if Obama doesn’t LOSE, then the Democratic party will NEVER change – there will be NO shake-up, there will be NO reform. They will have gotten away with ALL of it – their fraud and lies manipulation and intimidation and threats. Their “lesson” will be that THIS IS THE WAY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE – BECAUSE THEY WON – no reform needed.
Obama losing is our only chance to get our party and our country back – eventually.
Firefly,
You nailed it!!!!
if Obama doesn’t LOSE, then the Democratic party will NEVER change – there will be NO shake-up, there will be NO reform.
- EXACTLY.
We can’t reward them for their actions.
RRRA:
I hope someone has a You Tube of Clyburn dissing WJC, while that silly-assed music played.
Standing at a half-assed position of parade rest, and refusing to shake the former president’s hand, when he walked by.
How do you explain that all elected Democrats are supporting Obama? If he is as corrupt and bad as you say, why do they seem so enthusiastic? Why does a majority of the public have a positive view of him?
The majority of Americans don’t.
But do you really believe that their voices are going to be heard in the Obama MSM?
They will be heard on November 4th.
Which poll(s) are you talking about? How was the poll(s) taken? What were the questions asked? What was the sample size? What was the sample area?
Additionally, most of Americans get their news from the MSM. The MSM has been doing Obama’s PR work for him.
As far as most elected Democrats supporting him: of course they are going to support him!!!!!!
This is a Presidential election and elected officials support the candidate of their party.
You must be new at politics.
Cause that’s where the money is coming from
Politicans love $$$$$
Idiot
The Primary started long before last year. The msm very shrewdly started pumping up opposition to Hillary by proclaiming her the Democratic frontrunner. In doing this, they were also fanning the flames of Hillary-hatred and Bill Clinton, too. Everyone knows how Gore lost the election. And a big part of that was the Bush campaigning on restoring dignity and honor to the White House. BTW, Bush, how’d that work out for us?
Once the Hillary-hatred fans were flamed, the country depressed from the Iraq War and the economy and the desire to just get rid of Bush/Cheney were resigned to accept Hillary only because there was no one else.
Enter Barack 0bama supported by Dean, Kerry, the Chicago-combine and 0bama’s Alinsky style community organizing. The Caucus fraud was well-organized and from there, he took his Pentacostal-like traveling tent show cult-of-personality road tour and began his campaign of hope and change. With the support of the msm who helped this narrative along big time, the Hillary-hatred loomed front and center and people became convinced that 0bama was the One and Hillary needed to step off.
The cries from Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, and the whole rotten bunch fed the Hillary-hatred. But they underestimated her and she fought on, nobly, smartly, courageously, intelligently making her case, stating policy as 0bama preached inspiration, and her supporters remained committed and she gained respect, admiration as 0bama’s life and past caught up with him in the form of Wright.
0bama stopped getting converts back in March. And when Hillary stayed in the race, 0bama, his campaign, and the DNC leadership began the full-frontal exploitation of the AA community, threatening violence, playing the race card, guilting white America into believing they owed the AA community a black candidate and finally piggy-backing on the Republican free fall because of the Bush/Cheney years.
The same Americans who gave us Bush, are now force-feeding us 0bama out of guilt. It hasn’t occured to them that they really don’t have a good track record at picking presidents.
There are a lot of people who’ve bought into the 0bama narrative and although Bill Clinton didn’t say this, I, an AA am saying that it is a fairy tale, a fantasy, American hype at its highest. 0bama is not the man he tries to pretend he is. He is all gloss and no substance. A professional candidate.
Can someone like this govern? Someone who is already running from criticism and is censoring the press? We already know that McCain can, and Palin has been governing while 0bama’s been running for POTUS and has actual accomplishments in her brief time as governor. Even Biden does.
So why did the Democrats pick someone who is only a celebrity image? And why should we support a Party who makes such terrible choices?
One way or the other, the Dems are going to have to face that by alienating a substantial portion of their base in such an ugly arrogant way, they will have to pay.
I am not going to roll with these folks any longer. And by many of the comments here, it looks like you all won’t be rollin’ either.
I was disgusted with O and the dnc even before i heard of the vp of McCains chose, but it does not make a difference to me , Im voting McCain, better him than O, and the Dnc that allowed the o supporters diss hate on Hillarys supporters, so McCain it is and Palin is just a statement to Hills supporters i listened and O did not, so bite the big one Dnc, i am now working to get as many voters registered and make sure that they vote, and alot turned away from Os party , so they need to continue pretending we dont matter, its going to be a mud bath, with all those o supporters crying and stating o why did those whiteys not vote for our God, no thanks experience and character, McCain 2008
A polar bear friend of mine is really nervous about Sarah Palin’s stance on his species:
“I strongly believe that adding them [polar bears that is, not scientists] to the list is the wrong move at this time. My decision is based on a comprehensive review by state wildlife officials of scientific information from a broad range of climate, ice and polar bear experts.”
Two Term (Obama In Jail after the FEC completes their investigation into Hamas’ illegal contributions to his campaign)
Speaking of environmental issues, did you know Obama opposed the House passed 1872 Mining Act reform bill. In November 2007, Obama pandered to the mining industry by coming out AGAINST a crucial reform bill the House passed that would have updated the notorious “General Mining Law of 1872.” Obama has a close association with a longtime Nevada power broker, mining lobbyist and member of Obama’s Nevada campaign steering committee.
Did you also know about Obama’s support of nuclear power?
As the NYT stated in an article,
Remind twoterm that Obama had the courage to stand up and vote FOR Dick Cheney’s energy bill… and then he courageously championed for FISA. What a hero to the progressives!
Twoterm – if you wanted a progressive in the White House you should have shut your trap and campaigned for Hillary. She had a more progressive record than Obama the whole time, loser.
Obama: “I’ll filibuster FISA – oops, I lied – but I will vote against illegal spying – oops, lied again – but, who cares? These followers of mine are stupid – and where else are they gonna go?”
Obama: “NAFTA’s good – oops – I lied – NAFTA’s bad – no, I gotta lie again – NAFTA’s good. And again, it’s obvious my minions are so stupid they’ll never know the difference – and really, where else are they gonna go?”
Obama: “I will accept public financing for the general election – it’s only right” – except now I don’t need it anymore – so, I lied – too bad – get over it – where else are you gonna go, suckers?”
Obama: “I am against offshore drilling – except my polls numbers are tanking – NOW I’m FOR offshore drilling – so what if I’m saying now that I always was FOR offshore drilling – what’s a little lie between friends, anyway – I mean, where else are you gonna go?”
Obama: Sure, all my “followers” are idiots and suckers – but who cares? They’ve got MONEY and they’ve got VOTES (maybe even a few votes apiece!) – and, when it comes right down to it, where else are they gonna go?”
Trolls, time to wise up – McCain/Palin 08! PUMA!!!
Alas, Obama’s Greek Tragedy comes to and end.
Turn out the DNC lights. Send the clowns and the patsys home.
Go home to Illinois Obama. Find some of your radical, racist, militant, extreme, leftist, pro-abortionist, pro-infanticide, anti-American, Muslim hateful frineds.
Our TEAM has arrived — McCain/Palin — and America’s FUTURE is renewed and reinvigorated. Conservatives, caring Democrats, and Independents are united with Republicans to protect our U.S. of A.
McCain/Palin 2008
And Obamabots? Please keep sending me faked out pornographic poses of Palin. Also refer to her as “ovaries” or “vagina” as often as you like. You’ll help remind me why I’m not supporting the New Dem Party this year.
Well you know what they say “comeuppance is a b*tch.” Well here I am, and I plan to live up to my name.
mcCain ‘08

Yeas for wpmen No for Socialists!!!
I think
McCain just made the bet pick ever!
Troll
Crawl back under your bridge and GET OVER IT.
God, I love saying that.
STOP THE HATE!!!!
PUMA
If Palin is a creationist as I’ve read, she is a total ignoramous unfit for any office, let alone VP of this country. I suggest we get rid of all these idiots, and start over. For the good of the country.
30 year Democrat for McCain!!!Icing on the cake with Palin!!! My entire family 9 brother and sisters all democrats are voting for McCain!!!
YeeeeHaaaa, Mike! Spread the word to more of your young friends!
Hey, jc dudie rudie:
We that HATE Obot (really, really hate that guy!) are not supposed to be telling YOU why WE would never-in-a-million-years vote for his corrupt, lying, lazy con-artist ass!
That’s YOUR job, isn’t it?
Whazza Matta? Did you say you CAN’T tell us the reasons why anyone should vote for Obot?
I see. You attack others because you can’t answer your own questions. That’s a nifty but well-known trick common to those who lack substance. Your defense is to go on the offense. Well, we’re on to that old game that is “oh SO not part of the change routine.”
Silly you. You act just like a CNN reporter. (Are you?) They never ask questions either! That (along with the corruption & cheating seeping out of Obot’s pores) is precisely WHY we are in the midst of this peculiar crisis!
Why don’t you go back to your cage and drum up some specifics for air-headed Obot. He needs YOU!
Oh, BTW – are you a sociopath like Obot?
this had to be the biggest decision of sarah palin’s life. it was not done without the support of her husband and children. it would be an honor for me to vote mccain/palin in nov. this country needs more people in washington of her standard and integrity. give um hell sarah!!!!!
Jim Clyburn is the ultimate hypocrite. He fits right in with the “New Democratic Party.”
I’m done with them all. They can kiss my a@@ for what they did to the Clintons during the primaries. The egotistical a-holes knew they’d need Hillary and Bill to clinch the deal, yet treated them worse than step-children. I have NO respect for any of them.
A study in contrast… the GOP stands by their colleagues to the bitter end. You never hear them dissing their own.
Sorry Barky – McCain “GETS IT.” YOU lose… bye bye Barack!
McCain/Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
This was the decision that McCain could have made.
We would never vote obama!
Life long Democrats, we are voting McCain!
So is all of our family and PROUD!
Sorry,meant to say the BEST decision (choice), John McCain could have made!
Would not have voted for obama even IF Hillary was the VP choice.
BRAVO TO THE AUTHOR
My sentiments exactly.
My only regret is that I dont live in or close enough to south carolina to work on
and assure Clyburn’s defeat.
K.
Party Unity Ny Arse !
McCain made a good choice and I’m definitly going to vote for McCain now!! McCain used good judgement
in selecting Palin as his VP. Good Judgement is what
Obama doesn’t have!! Obama’s speech Thursday night
had NO meat!! Obama still did not give any specifics
on his issues which leaves him wide open to put the screws to the American people after he’s in office!!
He’s been screwing people and throwing them under the bus all through his campaign!! “Once a Rat” always a “Rat”!! Obama plays by his “Dirty Chicago
political ploys!!!
“VOTE COUNTRY FIRST” NO WAY OBAMA!!
BRAVO TO THE AUTHOR
My sentiments exactly.
My only regret is that I dont live in or close enough to south carolina to work on

Greek Temple? Have you idiots ever been to Washington D.C. or a state capital?
Clyburn is sexist and racist. Enough said.
PUMA 2008
You think I’m a idiot? None of you had a real response to what I said. If you REALLY cared about the issues that Hillary Clinton cared about, you’d hold your nose and support Obama.
Lets look at the issues…
1. A woman’s right to choose, McCain/Palin = against Obama/Clinton = for
2. The criminal war in Iraq, McCain/Palin = for Obama/Clinton = against
3. Universal Healthcare, Obama/Clinton = for McCain/Palin = against
4. Alternative Energy Obama/Clinton = for McCain/Palin = “LETS DRILL!!!”
Republicans straight up DO NOT GIVE TWO SH!T5 for you people (especially women). Vote for McCain, you’ll get the government you racist tools deserve. You’re the same bunch of scared suburbanites that are informed by Fox News and are motivated by fear. You put Bush in office, if there’s a God it’s your loved ones fighting in the desert for oil right now.
>>> if there’s a God it’s your loved ones fighting in the desert for oil right now.
What a slimebag piece of shit you are. I have been to Iraq as a civilian contractor and have one kid in Afghanistan and the other has done two DoD tours in Iraq.
Someone needs to shove you back up your mother’s ass…
“Someone needs to shove you back up your mother’s ass”
Oh wow, do you really want to go there? Look man, where I come from we don’t come out of our mothers ass. That said I just came IN your mom’s ass. Tell her to call me, 1 800 EAT SHIT.
Also, you’re a discredit to your country. It’s attitudes like these that have people all around the world straight hating American’s guts. I could say more, but I’ll just kick back and watch you tools reap what you sow. Karma’s a bitch, and so are you (anyone that casts a vote for McCain and his cookie baking, bible thumping sidekick).
Karma’s a bitch
- It sure is!!

Obama will be removed from the ballot the same way he removed Alice Palmer.
I haven’t read all the comments so maybe this has been mentioned already, but when Obie responds in this video he flips us the birdie. He says “I don’t believe in irreparable breaches..” then gets that arrogant, smug, immature expression that we’ve seen so often on his face, and at about 1:50 he puts his left middle finger on his cheek and most purposefully pulls it down his cheek. I’ve watched it several times – it’s not a scratch, not a bug – it’s what seems to have become one of his signature responses to people who irritate him. Can you imagine this child meeting with Putin? Barky thinks all he has to do is flash his smile and Putin will become putty in his hands. But when Putin tells him where to shove it, Barky will flip him off. That ought to help our image, for sure.
Yeah I know what you mean, who does this uppity black man think he is? And no, I can’t imagine Obama meeting with Putin…
“I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul.” -George W Bush after his first meeting with Putin
Trustworthy? Soul? Are you effing kidding me? Look man/woman, you are obviously high as a kite on Fox news kool aid, here…let me add some Draino to that for ya. There is no way Obama and his policy of stern diplomacy could foul things up any worse than Bush has, and McCain will.
