The denial by libs is breathtaking. They are propping up Kerry big time. It is safe to say Bush and the republicans are going to get no fair shake from the media at their convention.

That might be true, Jeff, but before that--LOL--it was a book written by Nietzsche.

Actually that was the "will to power" in Nietzsche, no?

We have to hold on long enough for the EU to implode on itself, France or Germany will go down first and the whole world will see what a failure communism is for the fifteenth time.

If I hear this "squandered the good will of the world" crap ONE more time I will simply vomit! The Democrats want the whole nation to be VICTIMS that government or the UN has to rescue, not a strong and sovereign nation. This just makes me sick, particularly coming from people who are so obsessed with power and hatred they cannot see the bait-and-switch of their own party's platform with the promises of "their" candidate.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Billion Dollar Tereeezuh. Won't work Chrissy.

That's exactly why I turned CNN off.

I could have seen this coming with CNN lauding her speech and I don't need the agravation(sp?) before going to bed.

Evidently, Pig Latin.

I posed a question to you earlier today on the sparsity of viewership for the convention and whether that was good or bad for us on the side of virtue.

After seeing this, I am flabbeergasted. How they ever allowed that woman on stage is beyond me. I don't want her anywhere national security, helath care, or the Ministry of Poop Scooping.

Spanish, French and Italian, in addition to English and her native Portuguese, which still flavors her speech.

It'd be tougher if it were English, Russian, Chinese, German, and Greek.

Gloves are off for the Bush Bashing tonight.

There is no "toned down".

Talking points

Bush lied
Bush is stupid
Bush is unwise
Bush is too religious (or just plain religious which is bad)

The other interesting point, the Democrats are DIRECTLY attacking naderites.
