I don’t like the idea. I said to someone the other day, it’s like when ratings start to go down on a sitcom and a character has a baby or the neighbor moves in. Remember Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch? Or when The Seevers had a baby (who became a little girl in like an hour) on Growing Pains? Same thing, IMO.

But it may make for good fireworks between her and Paula, so that might be fun. LOL

"Look Messiah....It's Bickus Dickus!"

“It shows what a bunch of Democrat nerds they are. It’s like this is their Comicon and Obama is their Superman”

That's a perfect comparison :)

ERIC CANTOR ON NOW ON LARRY KING/CNN!!

Thanks for the heads up.

"Ok, I’m only 31 so my experience with speeches like this are a little limited but...DAMN. That was hands down the SCARIEST speech by a Presidential candidate that I have EVER seen..."

Thank God, for a fairly young person you have some sense.

I just dont understand why it would not be Romney. He has put aside his differences with MCCain and been one of his best spokesmen while on the talk shows. He may help in Michigan and Colorado. He’s passionate and can hold his own. He had passionate supporters and was championed by a lot of conservatives.

Tim Pawlenty? Man is dry as paint. I dont know much about him but man is he a bore on TV. Very dry. And you can forget about him bringing that liberal bastion Minnesota.
I just dont understand why he would get it over Romney.

Your self-control is to be highly commended.

You would have seen me on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, CBS, CNN Headline news, BBC, CNN International 24 hours straight initially, and for at least a SOLID WEEK with all of the replays.

Wow, I had not seen this info before. Just more background facts that don’t square with the emotion-laden speech he gave. Speech all/only about emotions—even some of the Fox anchors.

I am in Chicago and the Annenberg/Ayres story is coming out—his speech was so full of tolerance, yet he is trying to shut down any and all opposition—just like all Chicago machine politicians do. Hopefully, reality will set in with the light of day tomorrow now that the Obamapalooza fireworks are finished.

HAHAHAHA!

After an hour of listening to this Marxist rant on and on, is there still anyone here who believes that McCain with all of his faults is not an infinitely better choice than this assclown?

Exactly. I'm voting for McCain/Whoever.

Keep pushing that message here on FR... the best I can do to hopefully convince the McCain haters is my tagline.

I just don't get these third party / stay at home voters...

You said it in a nutshell nutmeg! Great post.

[navymom1]

That’s exactly how I felt after this tawdry spectacle. During his speech, I started thinking of my father, who fought in the jungles of the Pacific in WWII... my many uncles and cousins who served this country during numerous conflicts over the years. My grandfather who fought in the trenches of France in WWI.

Hi, just got back home from Okinawa. Got a kid over there in the Navy. Oh my what our men endured ... Have you read the book, With The Old Breed? EB Sledge is the author. I’d highly reccommend it.

I’m not really disturbed about Barak Obama’s speech; what I find disturbing, nay terrifying, is the amount of people who will vote for him.

THis is what set Keith off on his hissyfit.

But instead of dwelling on specifics, he laced the crowning speech of his long campaign with the type of rhetorical flourishes that Republicans mock and the attacks on John McCain that Democrats cheer. The country saw a candidate confident in his existing campaign formula: tie McCain tightly to President Bush, and remind voters why they are unhappy with the incumbent.
Of course, no candidate can outline every initiative in a 35-minute speech - especially one that also must inspire voters, acknowledge key friends, and toss in some autobiography for the newly-interested. And Obama did touch on nitty-gritty subjects, such as the capital gains tax and biofuel investments.

I saw one of the dems this week say “when Bush took office we were a country at peace and now we are at war”..on Fox, and no one spoke up to remind him of 9 11.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

I'm voting for McCain/Whoever.

Roger that. McCain was not my choice either, but I will now do what I can for his campaign to see that Obama is not elected.

[lainie]

Her London Bridges wanna go down for Obama. Oh Snap!

[Lady Jag]

I needed a little levity after all tonight's ennui and thought you might, too.   ;-)

[Williams]

I think tonight Obama pretended to be McCain. Obama pretended to be for the 2nd amendment, against abortions, for the troops, on and on. Yet Obama’s policies are exactly the opposite. It was all trickery his election will mean 100% left wing policies and he deliberately tried to hide that.
