Last Day Folks! Thanks for letting me do the threads.

Last night was GREAT! You can tell by the amount of slime that is being thrown us. Break out the poopcorn, it's going to be another late night!

[retrokitten]

How neat! Freepers know everybody. :-)

LOL! I did see a sign I liked. GI Joe/Super Woman.

Anyone know what's up with the men in uniform? Are they retired?

Lindsay Graham: “I’m not saying Barack Obama doesn’t CARE....I’m saying he doesn’t GET it!”

[silent_jonny]

whaddyall think?

Noonan said what she and her other blue-blood elitist friends think. She's useless.

[bolobaby]

You think he’s a buzzkill for you? He’s MY senator! Talk about buzzkill!

[Onerom99]

THIS IS THE WORST SPEECH I'VE EVER SEEN DELIVERED IN ALL MY LIFE!!!

[STARWISE]

He did say the Surge worked.

~~~

He’ll pay a heavy price with moveon,
kos, and the Rat blogosphere. Get
ready, your crucible is about to begin.

[Tax-chick]

Snoozemachine. This won’t be so bad in transcript, but as delivered, it’s ghastly.

[KansasGirl]

I don’t like him, but this speech is good strategy.

[tioga]

my dear friend john mccain.........that sounds a little kinky

Yes, I know what the service lapel pin is and what it represents.

I had originally posted that what I thought I saw as her lapel pin was an Israeli flag - rectagular in shape; white background; blue star in middle; blue horizontal stripes above and below. A couple of people then responded that it was the service lapel pin. I replied that could have been (and probably was - my eyes get worse every year) but I posted the same photo you did and noted that it had a red border.

Just leave the stage goober...

This is what Mike Murray said:

Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys -- this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it's not gonna work. And --

I take that comment to mean that one of these people is who John McCain should have picked but he didn't so he is going to lose because of it. Do you agree? Peggy followed that comment with:

PN: It's over.

Now, how does her "it's over" comment at that point in the conversation convert to what she's now claiming she meant, which is:

I got on the subject of the leaders of the Republican party assuming, now, that whatever the base of the Republican party thinks is what America thinks. I made the case that this is no longer true, that party leaders seem to me stuck in the assumptions of 1988 and 1994, the assumptions that reigned when they were young and coming up.

How do you go from what Mike Murray said to "it's over" and have it mean what she's saying here? I don't get it.

[KansasGirl]

good strategy content wise

[Right_in_Virginia]

I don’t like him, but this speech is good strategy.

Totally agree.

[defconw]

Night.

[mylife]

Its good to see the Commies in fits

[icwhatudo]

WORST SPEECH EVER!

[hsalaw]

Thanks for the link. I read it, and my thought was: “Keep digging, Peggy.” She never got over the fact Pres. Bush didn’t select her as his speechwriter, and has been acting like a woman scorned for the past 8 years, sniping and snivelling about the Bush Administration.

Dana Carvey used to do a character called, “Lyle the Effeminate Heterosexual” that I always think of when I see Lindsay.
