    Good morning

    MoreWar and MoreLies McCain is upset cuz Obama said he's losing his bearings:

    That brought an angry response from McCain's campaign, which accused Obama of trying to make an issue of McCain's age.

    So far the Clintons have not shown ANY dignity or class, so let's not hold our breaths. She will most probably, leave kicking and screaming.
    It was amusing to see Big Bill spin the Indiana win as Hillary coming from behind and winning it. Wasn't it a very close race? What is he talking about?
    He also failed to mention that Barack Obama won NC with a BIG margin.
    Why couldn't she close that gap? The Clintons and their supporters are really delusional. I suppose the Clintons must be very disappointed, that she will not get the nomination (after all, wasn't she entitled to it?). They did not dream that a fresh, black candidate, will give them hell, and make them sweat, and finally lose. No one can say that they did not try everything in the book to win, even play the fear, and race cards (which she still does).
    Time for Hillary to obliterate her harmful campaign.

    umm.. the spin machines are reporting that Hillary is "loosing her lead' in superdelegates... wtf? she never had a lead... did she?

    This 1+ year of a freakin race has been so spun, first for obama, then hill, now mcsame..

    we dont report news... we mold your thoughts!

    so sick of it all. oped passing as reporting.
  • Reason0Politics1 · 1 year ago
    sage... ya.. and most likely, the Indiana squeak by "win' was no win at all.. Indiana has a much higher level of Limbaugh bots ( repugs voting in the dem primary ) than NC did. There has to be some sort of crime in tehre with limbaugh manipulating the dem primaries. what a traitorous , addicted , pig Limbaugh is. should be deported.

    I am sick of Hillary. I used to be a big supporter but no more. She is out of control. Its time the dems got some ballls and end this fiasco. Its alll about the Clinton's now not the party. I am behind Barack 100%. He represents change not old politics like Hillary and McCain.

    ....the Senate, by a vote of 42 to 20, and the House, by a vote of 112 to 22, approved authorizing local governments in the Twin Cities area to push back bar-closing times from 2 to 4 a.m. during the Republican National Convention.

    Under the measure, the later hours would be in effect only from Aug. 31, the day before the convention begins in St. Paul, through Sept. 5, the day after it ends.

    All you need to know about Hillary's declining momentum.

    "Although people in the hangar were enthusiastic Clintonites, their energy level was more subdued than in earlier stages of the campaign. Several attempts to wind up a "HILL-A-REE" chant fizzled in less than a minute. And scores headed for the doors long before her speech was finished."

    Um, Joe:

    This is the couple who spent their last days in the White House pardoning all their cronies and loading government property into their moving van.

    Dignity and class?

    LOL!
  • ReeseMT · 1 year ago
    The Clintons are so disgusting. What were we thinking during the 90's? I'm embarrassed to say I was one of those fooled by Slick Willie and his bullish wife and voted for that sick duo the first time. After Matt Drudge exposed the Monica scandal and then Bill perjured himself, I finally woke up.

    We need to clean up the Democratic Party once and for all so Barack has a chance to beat McCain. The DNC needs to disassociate from slime like the Clintons, wimpish para-sailing John Kerry and the Breck Girl. Like Obama has said time and time again, we need to end our juvenile bickering with the Republicans and finally get something done in DC.

    Actually, I thought that was very ageist of McCain to bring it up.

    Losing your mental faculties is not necessarily the same thing as growing old.

    McCain's been a nut losing he bearings for years, not just recently.

    I agree, but age is the first thing I thought Barak was referring to.

    Joe, in four days I expect her to be saying that she's "winning" again, after she picks up a popular vote win in WV and implies that the race is a tie, except that she is winning because she says so.

    Here's a welcome break from clintonshit:

    GOVERNMENT STARVES ITS OWN PEOPLE

    Burma cyclone relief flights are being turned back, or canceled, as MILLIONS go hungry in "Myanmar", because the little scumbag "Generals" are frightened of the Bush-Sarkosy threat of regime change. Way to go, diplomats. Good call, juntascum.

    HOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY HELP< RIGHT NOW

  • Hangtown Danile · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the idea for donations. I don't think any aid that is going into that nation is likely to reach to people that need it. The Junta has its boot on that nations neck. Anything sent to them will only go to feed the Junta. Starvation is one of the best ways to keep the people down. They don't want the help. They are looking to make there people suffer. This is the best way to exert power over there governed.
  • consult · 1 year ago
    Obviously your readers are too invested in hating Hillary to change the subject, and this viciousness will keep the party from coming together. The blogs are all excited about their big role in politics, but also need to accept some of the responsibility for bringing out the worst in people this campaign season.
  • vwcat · 1 year ago
    Apparently the Clintons hope to use the WV race as proof she has momentum and can still be the nominee. Knowing the sheeple in the press, they will likely play along.

    Anybody else think Jenna's new hubby will eventually be found a'tappin in the men's room?
  • mountainhigh · 1 year ago
    If Huff Post is correct, Obama is now ahead in all leading metrics. Huff says he now has two more super delegates than Clinton.

    Its funny to me, ya know, six months ago I would have been saying a lot of this about the Clintoons and all of you would have been telling me to shut up, your a Nazi, etc. etc. How things change in six months.
    I can only wonder what you will be saying six months form now...
