  • You've got an open italics tag somewhere in this post, I think.
  • I've checked three times and still can't find it.
  • Does "read the rest of this entry" normally show in italics? It might be there.
  • You know what, I'm really getting tired of the over-washed media line that by Obama doing X, Y, or Z he is not straying away from the "change" he promised. Examples:

    McCain (and party) tries to laughably paint him as an elitist over and over and over. When Big Bucks McCain slips up and plays dumb (oh? he wasn't acting?) about the number of houses he owns and Obama weaves that into his campaign's mission to draw a contrast between him and his policies vs. McCain and his... Well, Obama can't do that because, somehow, that's not "change" (actually, that's Obama not rolling over and playing dead... allowing McCain to levy any and every charge him and his team of partisan hacks can come up with without answering them).

    When Obama chooses Biden as his VP that's not "change" either because... Well, because... Well, because Obama, someone criticized for not knowing the ways of Washington, was supposed to be stupid enough to either pick someone that's a true radical (i.e. someone who would really represent "change" in every sense of the word) or someone no one really heard of or someone who hasn't been a part of the Washington scene... because... Well, because... Because Obama is still the person who is not supposed to make a credible challenge. He's not supposed to believe he can be president. Why, that would be arrogant. That would be presumptuous of him...

    This sh*t is simply getting out of hand.

    It's like these people can't even disguise their desire to have Obama run this campaign and fight the battle for the White House with both hands tied behind his back.
  • Both hands tied behind his back, legs tied together, blind-folded, and spun around 3 times to make him good and dizzy. They used to move the goalposts, but now they have just taken the goalposts away and told him to guess where it is.
  • You are so on point, it's scary.
  • Nquest: Co-sign! :>) :>)
  • Let us not forget ... that in addition to statements like 'America is a mean country' ... and, 'this is the first time in my adult life that I'm proud to be an American' ... Michelle Obama also made the decision to expose her children for years, to Jeremiah Wright, Pfleiger, Moss, Farrakhan, and the rest of the radical anti-American racists at the black liberation Trinity Church of Chicago. Is this who we want for America's first lady ... I don't think so !!!
  • Gina or is this really HRC?,
    You're an idiot. What an irresponsible comment. Everything you mentioned is a blatant lie. You must be fresh off the GOP express train----flying by the REAL issues.
  • Well, you can have the drug addict who was willing to allow someone else to go to jail for her own theft of those drugs. Just be thankful that you were not the poor stiff working at that charity, trying to feed your family...only to get framed for a crime you didn't commit.

    Also, be thankful that you are not Cindy's half sisters, disinherited, then made to feel that they don't exist.

    Give praises to whatever god you believe in, that you are not Carol McCain, whose former husband abandoned her when she needed him most.
  • fuck you, Gina
  • Double down on that "fuck you, Gina."
