Your’re right about there being ALOT of stupid people out there. How else can you explain Nobama’s support. People actually believe things would change if he’s elected. I can understand the young (18-24) voters falling for this since most of them aren’t out in the real world yet. Plus this age group has never delivered and this year won’t be any different. Remember “Rock the Vote” and “Vote or Die”? That’s basically what happened to John Kerry. His campaign died on election day. Losing to Bush by 3 million votes. How pathetic.
Nobama speaks in such general terms, nobody knows exactly where he stands on any one issue. Ask just about any one of his supporters what will change and how will it be accomplished. Just sit back and wait for the deer in the headlights look. They can’t be blamed though for the look since there are no details out there.
McCain has been getting a free pass while Hilliary trys to make herself the nominee in 2012. Things will get alot tougher for both of them once Hilliary is out of the picture. McCain will get more attention from the networks, papers like the New York Times and MSNBC. (Granted only a handful of people watch MSNBC) Nobama will get a little more attention from these media outlets but not too much since they’ll be cheering him on. He will of course be hammered by FOX and radio talk shows.
Being a member of the Democratic party I think we will keep on losing elections, including this one, as long as we keep on nominating someone from the far left. The farther you go from the middle, the less support you’ll receive. This will actually help McCain since he’s not as conservative as alot of Republicans would like. Moveon.org and other 529 groups are killing this party by supporting only the most liberal candidates. They just don’t get it. It will really be over if/when Michael “Kiss of Death” Moore gives his support to Nobama.
It’s a shame in a country of 300 million (about 285 if you’re counting those here legally) we don’t have any better choices then the 3 stooges.

this is all bullsh!t; we saw how fast everyone distanced themselves from the nyt piece on McCain’s lobbyist affair.

that is how it will continue to be; the “grace period” will never end.

Right. Has anyone checked on ABCs ratings lately? Is Timmeh feeling the heat?

Mightymouse0 @ 20: You don’t have a clue do ya? Swiftboating is now a generic term used to describe smearing and lieing about ones political opponent. It’s straight from the KKKarl Rove playbook. There’s ALOT of stupid people in this country that will believe anything.Hence so many dildo-heads and loofa fans.

Russert looked like the cat that swallowed the canary the whole time he was talking. You’re not as clever as you think Tim, if you’re not careful you’ll be working at Fox News before long.

Russert is no Lawrence Spivak and “Meet the Press” has become just another right wing spin machine under Russert’s heavy hand and mediocre intellect.

Sure… and in the fall, Timmeh’s excuse will be that it’s old news.

RE: Stupid people in 2004 I actually heard people say, “better the devil you know than the one you don’t.” Referring to voting for bush over Kerry. And this from a college professor, so stupid hits all walks of life.

mary, my parents, both in their 80s brought up the ‘fact’ that Obama was raised as a muslim. Propaganda works. When I countered with the facts, then they went to ‘Michelle Obama is a radical’. Geebutz.
I’m going to visit them weekly with passages from “The Audacity of Hope”, and just hope I can get through…

The sad thing is that the nonsense on talk radio and FAUX news takes its toll. This morning I read an article in which a man at a diner where Obama was campaigning said that he would never vote for Obama because he was a Muslim and hated America.

Well consider how much of the media and press is owned by the few long standing Republican backers why is anyone surprised? Your language is that of the signature on your paycheck.

Last night, I noticed that in Indiana Hillary got the majority of those without college degrees. Now, mind you, I do not have a college degree, but, it occurred to me that that was interesting. The more educated a person, the more likely they were to vote for Obama.

Of course, Limp___ is now using that against Obama.

OT, but just found on Politico..
Shellshocked House Republicans got warnings from leaders past and present Tuesday: Your party’s message isn’t good enough to prevent disaster in November, and neither is the NRCC’s money.

The double shot of bad news had one veteran Republican House member worrying aloud that the party’s electoral woes — brought into sharp focus by Woody Jenkins’ loss to Don Cazayoux in Louisiana on Saturday — have the House Republican Conference splitting apart in “everybody for himself” mode.

I believe Mr. Russert’s statement is evidence in and of itself that the press is giving McCain a pass. Delaying any critical review of Mr. McCain, his statements, or his actions, is no different than not doing it at all.

There is no time like the present. Go ahead and begin. We’re tired of waiting, and we’ve waited long enough.
