AMERICAblog: Wednesday Morning Open Thread

    Is an attack on Iran more imminent than we think? The Bush regime is rattling swords again...

    (See my post in the previous thread, please.)

    This may affect the primaries more than we know. After all, Clinton wants to "obliterate" Iran.

    Good morning

    NY Times has an editorial today on Obama and Pastor Wright:

    Senator John McCain has continued to embrace a prominent white supporter, Pastor John Hagee, whose bigotry matches that of Mr. Wright. Mr. McCain has not tried hard enough to stop a race-baiting commercial — complete with video of Mr. Wright — that is being run against Mr. Obama in North Carolina.

    This country needs a healthy and open discussion of race. Mr. Obama’s repudiation of Mr. Wright is part of that. His opponents also have a responsibility — to repudiate the race-baiting and make sure it stops.

    Won't a summertime cut in the Fed gas tax just encourage people to use more gas? And starve roads? The panderers don't think so.

    And out-of-touch McCrazy really believes $2500 for a single person and $5000 for a family will buy them health care, so he can get employers out of providing the benefit of medical coverage (averaging about $12K for the average employee) when what he proposes might make just the down payment on anyone's "choice?" It's pretty obvious that most people would not even be able to afford health coverage, even with a "down payment" of course.

    Hey all.

    Had enough yet?

    (Remember when that question pertained to bush and not Clinton?)

    John McCain gets free socialized medicine paid for by the AMerican people and is getting disability benefits from the Navy, so how the heck does he know the first thing about the healthcare crisis in this nation being married to a woman who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and could actually pay for their own healthcare?

    Maybe McCain should give his free healthcare to someone who needs it? It would make him look less hypocritical and stupid than he already does.

    another bad republican idea that Hillary supports

    add that to her vote/support of kyle/lieberman
    and her vote to invade Iraq

    how is she not the mcsame?

    4058: The American death toll in Iraq as of this morning. But that doesn't matter to the CorporateMSM as long as Reverend Wright is alive.

    Hillary's base is going to be real happy. She is making an appearance on O'Rielly this evening. I call this a desperate move on her part. O'Rielly the guy that dissed the kidnapped boy last year and the left wing blogs pointed this out. This is just too damn sick for me.

    aquarius.....

    McCain will be on O'Rielly next week, and Obama committed to appear soon.

    cds2

    I did not know that. I give them all zeros for going on O'Rielly. What's next Sean Hannity?

    Yeah, most people, except the fucked-over voters of Florida and Michigan. No, I'm not bitter about being denied meaningful participation by the dumbfucks in my state and in our national party, not at all.

    CDS2, is that really you, or have you been doppleganged? :-)
    Nice to see you back in the fray.

    Curious to know what you think has been gained by Democratic candidates going on Fox to legitimize the network's gutter tactics and overall lack of serious journalistic principles.

    I say NOTHING: most Fox viewers were never going to be receptive to voting outside their "moral comfort zone" anyway, and as I've seen from some of the comments on their hosted blogs, regular commenters seem to think D presidential candidates are TEH EVIL SUCK.

    Hi Uncle....I've responded twice, and been shut down twice. I'll try again in a few minutes.
  • CDS2 · 1 year ago
    Hi again Uncle...nice to be back in the fray.

    I like FOX for the same reason that I like ABlog....I get to see both sides of an issue.

    Seems to me that it is in the D's best interests to appear. Hell, they get their message out to millions of folks, and maybe they can convert some.
