Thread mark.......
O.K.
THE NEW YORK TIMES reports that Fred Thompson is surging in South Carolina. And I just got an email from a journalist who says that crowds at Thompson events are suddenly over-capacity. Is it a tipping point for Thompson, or just a blip? Stay tuned.Dang...wish he could publish that reporter's email!
I doubt that Fred is interested at all in being ANYONE’s VP.
It would certainly generate some media interest.
PoC
Endless possibilities
Late Edition coming up on CNN; guests include the Huckster, Romney, and Fred. And then gives Edwards some air time as well. Oh yes, and commentary by “the best political on television” (GAG)
Clinton 39%
Obama 37%
Edwards 17%
Romney up first from the campaign trail. First question about “fears of a recession” and what would you do Governor Romney to immediately fix the potential recession problem. Romney sounds tired and sounds like he has a little bit of a cold. Romney says he would immediately cut taxes for the middle class and agrees we should cut corporate taxes as well, but that impact wouldn’t be immediate.
Me too, but you’d get him in trouble if he’s caught not following MSM dogma.
thanx, i never thought i’d actually like reading a post in dailykos. :-)
Well if it makes you feel any better...
Here’s the rule as I shall do my best to pass on to the ladies in the Sussex County Republican Women’s Club:
..if Mitt gets the nomination, vote for Mitt.
...if Rudy gets the nomination, vote for Rudy.
....if Fred gets the nomination, vote for Fred and cheer while doing so.
....if the Huckster gets the nomination, hold thy nose and immediately submit for pardon any felons in your family, then vote for Huckabee.
.....if McCain gets the nomination tear down your Blogs and any other forms of free speech, then hold your nose and vote for McCain.
.....if Ron Paul gets the nomination, arrest all of his followers, hold your nose and smoke a joint to avoid gagging, and vote for Ron Paul.
That about sums it up.
Let’s see
Clean and articulate
Magic negro
Did coke (I was surprised they went there, hello Mena?)
Drug dealer
Madrassa outing
Where’s the white grandmother... is she in the closet, he’s ashamed of that side who raised him.
Where’s his brother the muslim and the rest of his family, why aren’t they around. (Obama showed them, his sister starting stumping last Nov. I think)
The Odingo documents
Whatever else the Clinton machine put out.
Shuck and jive
Spade work
Not racist but taken as such:
irresponsible and frankly naïve
Rezko
Early school dreams of president
Dad was an alcoholic
Fairytale
There were others I can’t think of now.
Don’t forget where Bill comes from; We know Hillary let’s all kind of slurs fly from those who worked for her.

Clinton’s Racist Roots
November 11, 2001
The really troubling thing about this Bill Clinton speech at Georgetown University - in which he said Americans have some responsibility for the September 11th attacks - is that I have no clue what his purpose is. You could say that he’s legacy building or shining the light of attention on himself or being provocative or what have you. But I think it really just proves the guy is a liberal. I think this really just indicates what he actually thinks of this country. To him, this country is full of faults - and everyone today is guilty for the sins of slavery and even the Crusades. He thinks that this country is the reason for much of the suffering and pain that people in the world experience today.
Now, I want to address something key about what Bill Clinton said during his speech, because he is not and has never been a great champion of civil rights. In fact - and this is something you never, ever hear about - the young Clinton studied at the knee of well-known segregationists. His political career in Arkansas demonstrates a complete lack of understanding and sensitivity about those people with whom he now claims to sympathize.
You want some hypocrisy? Let me give it to you. I’ve said it before, and it’s appropriate to say it now as well. Bill Clinton’s political mentors in Arkansas were segregationists! That means they didn’t want white people and black people living together. They were active members of the stay-in-the-back-of-the-bus crowd. J. William Fulbright, the late Arkansas senator, and the Arkansas governor Orville Faubus, were among them. Those were the men Clinton idolized. Those were his mentors. Fulbright even hired Bill Clinton at one point.
These were the men Clinton hung around, tried to learn from - and they were passionate, committed segregationists. Think about what this means: Had they lived during the time of the founding, Bill Clinton’s idols would have been enthusiastic slaveholders. Had they lived at the time of the Civil War, they would have fought and killed for the right to keep Africans enslaved. These are Bill Clinton’s idols! These are the guys that Bill Clinton is running around taking leadership ideas from. These are the men that Clinton reached out to in order to start his political career.
Slavery Was Not Enshrined In Our Constitution!
Slavery is a chapter in American history that never seems to get mentioned by those who question the very essence of this country and its righteousness. The framers who wrote and adopted our Constitution understood that they couldn’t resolve the slavery issue at the time. But they didn’t ignore the issue. In fact, they punished slave states by limiting their representation in the House of Representatives. That’s why slaves were counted as three-fifths a person for purposes of representation. That’s why we fought the bloodiest war in our nation’s history to end slavery about four score and seven years later.
It was not because the majority of the framers thought they were property. It was because they didn’t want southern states to have it both ways, claiming they could count their slaves as people when it meant getting a bigger voice in government, but not in their day-to-day lives. An amendment process was put in place to right wrongs like slavery which needed fixing. That amendment process was used after the civil war to address or correct issues that could not be revolved during the Constitutional Convention.
In fact, amendments were adopted after the Civil War that dealt directly with the issue of slavery. This, too, is part of our history, and to ignore it is to distort our founding and to distort our history. Provisions were put in place to deal with slavery! It wasn’t thought to be a great institution worthy of preservation. If it were, don’t you think they’d have written a guarantee of slavery into the Constitution? Do you think Thomas Jefferson wrote the words “all men are created equal” without knowing it’s full meaning?
Clinton’s Mentors Were Racists and Segregationists
Now, if we judge Clinton as he would have us judge the history of America, we would look at his career through his association with outspoken and powerful racists and look no further. Bill Clinton has a history of association, respect for, and mentorship with powerful racists and segregationists! Yet he stands up and gives that speech. It wouldn’t matter what he said or did as governor or president. All that would tell us about the measure of the man is that he embraced these segregationists rather than speak out against them.
But I am willing to look beyond that for a moment, and examine his presidency. And when I do that, I find a man who did nothing to improve race relations in this country. I find a guy who hailed those who promoted this notion of segregation. Clinton promoted discord between the races. This silly business about claiming he saw church burnings in his home state when it’s proved that no such attacks ever, ever occurred prove he’s trying to stir up racial hatred. He and his party used race to try to divide this country for crass political purposes.
So to come out and give this speech yesterday is the height of selfishness. This is a pathetic man screaming, “Don’t forget me! Don’t forget me! Don’t forget me.” We would love to find a way to.

(That’s after you get over the nerve of him saying this a month after 9-11... and after his years in office, cajones)
Now that Lamont is on the campaign, expect Hill/Bill in blackface ala Leiberman. Hopefully the guy they brought in from the Onion will teach them a different way.
This is a softball interview on MTP
And that ear piece in Hellary’s ear is also help remind her to keep her cool
Notice that whenever she starts to raise her voice, she pauses and cools back down
jon carry says that “a Barak Obama” can say things to Africans that a white president just can’t say.
LOL. These guys are so racist.
Kerry maintains that the Swifties were lying.
Wolf asking Mitt about the “guy who laid them off” ad by Huckabee.
Why doesn’t Mitt simply say “The supposed guy who laid one off is ALSO the guy who HIRED them”.
Does anyone remember if jon carry accepted federal financing of his campaign?
