Where is the (feigned) outrage from patriotic Americans?
Bush did the most unacceptable and indecent thing - lie and slam a Democratic candidate, who might end up being a President.
Bush does not have a leg to stand on, when it comes to foreign policy.
His policies really STINK, and have failed miserably. He has nothing to
help McCain run on, he has been unsuccessful in every way, so he resorts
to lies and ugly attacks.
I was glad that the media and pundits criticized these words, and where they were spoken, and McCain agreeing to what his idol, Bush said, is filthy politics. Bush is a rotten, embarrassing SOB, and is the worst President in our history. He should keep his mouth shut, and do what he is good at; clearing brush. A president who lied and took this country into war, might have avoided the deaths of a million people, if he took time to sit and negotiate.

Though it is true that this has tied idiot george around all republican's necks, including McFailure, it has moved the focus off of the failed republican economy. We must not allow this. The failure in republican foeign policy is directly tied to the failed republican economy. We must strive to make every conversation regarding either the failed republican economic policies or the failed republican foriegn policies a two-fer - then wrap it all up with a bow that reminds us all that we are far less secure (both physically and financially) than we were eight years ago.
mccain has embraced republian failure and bush politics, and offers only an older face.
the republican experience is republican failure.
Setting up a Nazi-based analogy as a pretense for attacking an American politician while speaking to the Knesset reeks of condescension to Jews as well as to any clear-headed person on planet Earth.
What am I hearing? The voices in my head tell me I should get outdoors and pull weeds before the sun is overhead.
Column by Dowd on the eve of Powell's presentation to the UN.

This is very good. I mean, I've read books of columns about pivotal points in WW II and this ranks up there with them.
Dare I say "a classic column" ?
"When the evidence is not black and white, the president must persuade everyone. There is no red and blue. There is just red, white and blue."
sounds like classic Obama too!
Look at the Huffpost article, then write the Tennessee repbulican party and tell them how disgusting and Un-American they truly are.
Here is the Tennessee republican party link: http://www.tngop.org/leadership/staff.html
Here is what I wrote to EACH one of the pigs:
Dear Mrs. Smith,
Your ad trying to swiftboat Michelle Obama is on it's face disgusting. Her comments were taken out of context. She was referring to the POLITICAL PROCESS. She is proud of America for the first time because of her husbands campaign being able to energize millions of people in a way that has never been done in a grass roots effort.
How do you people sleep at night? Michelle Obama is a wonderful human being, a great mother and a great American. She comes from extremely humble beginnings and worked her way through college. A true American success story. If you sat down and talked to her one on one you would probably be fast freinds. But you can't because you are a coward, and so are most in your party.
You want to go after someone? Go after the Elitist Cyndi McCain. The pill popping, drug addicted wealthy heiress and second wife of John McSame. She does not have a patriotic bone in her body. You want to go down that path? Bring it.
You people are truly desperate and disgusting. And you will lose in November because you have NOTHING to offer. This only serves to galvanize our side, so on that note I should thank you. How about this for a concept, why don't you tout what your own candidate can do for our country and leave the spouses out it.
Meanwhile you have your president trashing a sitting senator and possible president in a foreign country and jeopardizing our national security.
The republican party has destroyed our country, and you will be defeated come November. Why do you hate America so much Robin? You are a truly revolting human being to allow this ad to happen.
Sincerely,

(Obama better not get into any spending cap deals with McCain. He's running a shell game over there and everybody knows it.)
I hope Howard Dean knows enough to do the same with Sidney's past.
For him, extreme rightwinger Sharon, the man who has a war criminal record going back to the fifties, is a man of peace.
Of course his speech is also steeped in religious fervor. He also says in what seems to be a message about Iraq, Iran, etc.,
"As we go forward, our alliance will be guided by clear principles – shared convictions rooted in moral clarity and unswayed by popularity polls or the shifting opinion of international elites."
So, screw American opinion and the international community, we will go it alone. There is much more that is equally bad.

In Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined gay marriage supporters and same-sex couples who brought their children to hear the decision at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center.
The center's public affairs officer, James Key, said a huge celebration was planned for Thursday night in West Hollywood, a traditional hub for gay and lesbian residents.
"It's going to include a huge cake and people dancing," he said.

He wants attention.
I have tried very hard to find a copy of this ad, but to no avail. But, after what happened in Israel this week, I see now that it was a part of Republican coordinated effort to equate voting for a Democrat with giving in to Hitler.
This proposition doesn't deserve my comment. I have no ability to get this observation to the DNC or the Obama people. But if anyone reading this does, I believe that it must be a part of the debate. The other side's campaign methods are a real turn off to many, many good, normal Americans
