Well I guess it is true that paper tigers eat their own young.

But he can cling to his Amendment vote and all will be right with his knucklehead followers.

I can only hope that the McCain camp will get the onions to take advantage of all the ammunition that the O!bama is giving him. I never imagined I'd ever see a Presidential candidate so vulnerable as the O!bama is...not even John F'ing Kerry was this weak.

Bad Barack. The ACLU is mad at you now - they'll still vote for you though.

Heh. Hillary voted against it.

Uh, you know, uh, some have this notion that I, uh, uh am tacking somehow, uh to the uh, right....

It's surprising to see how little of human nature and politics these leftists understand. They fail to grasp that obama will take any position and reserve the right to CHANGE! his mind at any point all in the course of seeking power.

For a group constantly crying "fascist" at people, they also seem stunningly unaware of genuine fascist tactics when they see it.

The only thing I can trust at this time that he is that the O!bama is not, is that John McCain will take our national defense seriously.

FISA will be his Howard Dean "Yeah!". It embarrasses his supporters more than anyone.

It has to do with everything because when one attacks Obama for his stance on an issue it's easy to brand that person as a racist. It insulates Obama from criticism. It's not right, but it's the truth.

I'm glad that he [Obama] is, for the first time, asking for a sit down briefing with Gen. Petraeus and I'll be very interested in what his position on Iraq is when he returns," McCain said during a satellite interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson Wednesday from Pittsburgh.

Watch part of Sen. McCain's interview with Charles Gibson on ABC's World News tonight at 6:30pmET.

"On the issue of Iraq, I am glad he's going for the first time in 900 days," McCain told Gibson, chiding Obama for visiting Iraq once since the war started compared to his eight visits.

Yes, and I am conflicted sometimes whether or not I would "let" Obama be elected just to shut those people up. But then I realise that you do not under any circumstances legitimise a person like Obama by making him President. There's too much damage that can be done.

The problem is, none of this is going to change anything. I think most Americans simply make up their mind according to who is put on the front burner by the party.

Yes, folks like us at LGF's spend a lot more time on the issues, but not the general public.

In the voting booth, the thought going through most voters head will be "change" or "terrorism."

My opinion.

Walter in Golden, Co.

I know why Obama “changed” his mind on FISA.

Imagine this with Lily Tomlin as the telephone operator:

Operator: A gracious good morning. Is this the party to whom I'm speaking, a Mr. Barack Hussein Obama?

Do you know why I'm calling, Mr. Obama?
I work for the phone company. That's right, the phone company.

What do you mean, there's no “The Phone Company”?

Yes, we were split up, but now there are several of us. And we're all upset at you, Mr. Obama.

Over what? Over our immunity.
We just did what the government told us, and now, people want to sue us.

Oh, that's funny, Mr. Obama. You think we should be sued?

Civil disobedience? That's for moonbats, Mr. Obama. Not for big companies that need permits from the government.

Aha. Well, Mr. Obama, we want you to vote for our immunity.

What was that? When what freezes over?

Remember who you are talking to, Hussein. Can I call you Hussein?
We're the phone company.
You know those calls you made to Iran? To a Mr. Amadmanonjihad? I don't think people would like to hear what you promised him, Hussein.

Oh, that's funny. We're not supposed to listen? What would we do for entertainment.
And those calls to a Mr. Chavez of Venezuela? A Mr. Khadaffy of Libya?

A-ha. So, Hussein. I knew we could count on you.
Yes, if you vote for our immunity, those tapes will be destroyed.

McCain is just more principled. That's why he speaks better than Obama when there isn't a script, he's speaking about things he believes while Obama is trying to figure out what he should say. The latter is much more difficult. That being said I don't trust McCain the keep the Bush tax cuts, he voted against them twice and has always been against them.

Exactly. Kennedy got a LOT of women votes (which Obama desperately needs to court) because he showed off Caroline constantly. I'm not sure if this latest reversal makes Obama look better or worse, as a politician or even as a father. At least say something like, "it was a good segment, and my girls looked great, but I've reconsidered."

re: #87 Tardis

There are places in Dreams where he talks about how he learned in college that whites (he means white liberals) will applaud or accept anything if you present it to them in a graceful, mannerly way.
He writes that a black white cannot separate black identity from black rage against whites. He notes that most whites are uncomfortable with that equation, and that the secret to "getting along" is to hide the rage behind a polite, ingratiating facade. He comes right out a couple of times and congratulates himself on his ability to manipulate people.

He had to have written this book before he anticipated running for national office. He'd edit out some of that stuff now, I think.

BOBBY JINDAL coming up. I know Charles doesn't like his ID stance, but I want to hear the guy a little more before passing judgement.

P.S.: I'm Catholic and have no difficulty reconciling evolution and my religion at all. I'm just not energised by that topic, because I don't get it.

In politics, it is possible that there is no difference between saying, "We'll stay until the job is finished," and "We'll leave as soon as possible."

Also like the antithesis to King Canute, the LLL think that if they command the tide to go out, and it does within 6 hours, they've won. Likewise, when we actually begin a pullout of Iraq, as we've planned to do from Day 1 when the Iraqi gov was fully fledged, they'll claim victory.

Obama's getting predictable....
Obama's Next Pivot?

Blogger TigerHawk notes the results of a new Pew Center survey, which shows a dramatic increase in the percentage of Americans who say expanding exploration and production is more important than conservation: from 35% in February (when gas was around $3 a gallon) to 47% in June. Support has risen especially among Obama constituencies: college graduates (up 17 points), Democrats (16 points), independents (19 points), liberals (23 points) and 18- to 29-year-olds (25 points).

Normally you'd expect high gas prices to help the party out of power. But Obama's opposition to increased energy production is a weakness McCain could easily exploit. Durbin's comment may be a signal that Obama will pivot soon.

T. Boone is a senile idiot, tilting at windmills.

I'll bet his heirs are really pissed at him giving away the family fortune and leaving them to live under a bridge in a cardboard box.

I'd rather talk about chemical castration of Obama supporters...

Jindal does seem quite sharp. (First time I've heard him speak.)

re: #149 vbspurs

Jindal on -- talking about chemical castration for sex offenders.

The trouble with chemical castration is that it doesn't amputate the mind, where the crime really is born.

Yeah, I'm glad you brought this up. I'm not PC or anything, but I didn't know if it was in poor taste to mention...when I hear Jindal, I just see a Southern man -- his Indian heritage disappears.

(Pre-post clarification: It doesn't matter either way. It's just an interesting phenomenon)

I went on a job interview once, and they told me that the guy they were sending to pick me up from the airport was Chinese. What they failed to mention was that he was born and raised in Mississippi. I'm sure my jaw dropped when he first spoke...

British blacks feel the same way in America, I've been told. Apparently, they get a hard time from...black Americans.

re: #158 christheprofessor

Growing up in Jamaica, the first time I heard a Black man speak in a real cockney accent just blew me away!

This person suspects Mr Obama may not keep his word on other issues especially if he becomes President. hmmmm Maybe he is fibbing a bit? Is it possible?

re: #66 Walter L. Newton

I've read around the net today that some are saying that Obama is just refining his policies.

Even stipulating that this is true (and it most obviously isn't), it disqualifies Obama to be President.

Obviously any job, including being POTUS, is going to have some on the job training, but like a pilot or surgeon, you want MOST of the learning to have been done BEFORE the job is started, not during or after.

re: #163 christheprofessor

Yes.

Also this black gentleman was blown away with the white boy talking to him in broad Jamaican patois.

Bumboclart!

re: #129 wolfie

He writes that a black white cannot separate black identity from black rage against whites. He notes that most whites are uncomfortable with that equation,

Now, why would they be uncomfortable being told that all blacks who truly know their identity hate them with a rage?

/

Whereas, he is the real bigot for making such a blanket statement about the thoughts of all blacks. I would guess there are millions upon millions of blacks who are quite sure of their black identity, yet aren't racists against whites as he claims they are.

He describes this extreme racism of blacks, and blames it somehow on white racism.

But the racism here is all his own, both his openly stated rage against all whites and his presumption that all other blacks are as bigoted as he is.

Obama throws himself under the bus --- news at eleven.

Ooh, O'Reilly just mentioned that the hard left is killing Obama on the blogs. I think he reads a certain reptilian blog?

re: #144 VegasRick

I am lost.

Book about Laura Bush's sex life being discussed...from the NYT below.

"In 2004, Ms. Sittenfeld wrote a Salon piece confessing that despite her “flaming” liberalism and disdain for W.’s policies, she loved Laura Bush. She called the first lady “an easy heroine to root for — smart and nice, but just flawed enough (she still sneaks cigarettes!) to remain likable.” She identified with Laura’s omnivorous fiction reading.

In the novel, Alice, tormented by the choices her husband has made about the war that she’s stood by, blurts out to a grieving father that she thinks the war should end. In life, we can only wonder how Laura feels. "

BTW obambi has a 5.2% lead in the RCP averaging poll.

Shouldn't he be way ahead at this point?

"Whitey"

At this point in 1976, Carter was up by 20-30 Points, in1988, Dukakis by close to 20. Methinks that Election Night 2008 will be a LONG one.

re: #129 wolfie

There are places in Dreams where he talks about how he learned in college that whites (he means white liberals) will applaud or accept anything if you present it to them in a graceful, mannerly way.
He writes that a black white cannot separate black identity from black rage against whites. He notes that most whites are uncomfortable with that equation, and that the secret to "getting along" is to hide the rage behind a polite, ingratiating facade. He comes right out a couple of times and congratulates himself on his ability to manipulate people.

He had to have written this book before he anticipated running for national office. He'd edit out some of that stuff now, I think.

That's exactly the opinion I got of him from his "race speech".

If they voted Yea it means they are traitors and value large corporations and their collegues more than YOU!

If they voted Nea they are patriots trying to safeguard the Constitution!

Unfortunatley Obama voted with the traitors, but he still has to win in November.

Vote for the traitor!

They also misspelled "collegues" and "Unfortunatley." The enlightened B. Hussein Obama supporters.

Well, from Fox I turn to CNN. Another heads up to those interested, Ingrid Betancourt live on Larry King.

See you guys, later! :)

Obama's fans (I mean supporters) apparently weren't listening to him closely enough.

Completely off topic: I sighted a car at the store this afternoon with three Impeach Bush stickers (including a giant homemade one in the rear window).
The fourth bumper sticker was "Citizens against UFO secrecy."
I never have my camera when I need it.

re: #29 Typicalwhitey

Yep he should. I don't personally trust the RCP polls as they do not reflect a true moving average. If you spend some time and look in side the polls that they are using you may find, on more than one poll, a very skewed demographic answering questions that are positioned for a liberal response. I really think that they are tied neck and neck and that Hillary will have a really good point of order when it comes to Denver in August.

They must have been from Roswell, NM.

re: #171 WhiteRasta

I think in America, we should invent a new racial category called American that refers to anyone with ancestry from two different continents and cultures. Make American mean what it should mean.

I was kidding. (That is, in order to sound articulate you're supposed to say "uh" a lot... like a certain someone.)

Sharpton on Fox commenting on Jessee Jackson's unfortunate remarks caught on "hot mic"...so it's no nevermind.

Instantly brought to mind when Reagan said (on hot mic) "The bombing begins in five minutes..." The Sharpton's of the world made hay for a month.

How do these hypocrites live with themselves?

Wow. Michael Steele and Al [spit] Sharpton on Hannity. Sharpton can't disguise the thuggish hatred in his eyes when Steele is speaking.

Every time a moonbat's head a splodes, an angel stands up and applauds.

Not going upstairs, hope someone's still here.

I am experiencing some glee with the idea what I said three or four years ago is beginning to come true.

In a nutshell, (many others here have said the same, I'm sure) the closer one gets to the big chair, measures that seemed heavy handed, even draconian begin to make sense.

Protecting America is a pretty big responsibility. It'd make me poop my pants. (Can I say poop here?)

If he ain't on the short list, they need to lengthen it, then make it shorter again with him on it.

re: #208 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

If he ain't on the short list, they need to lengthen it, then make it shorter again with him on it.

I think it would be great, but the press would spin it as his being a token, and Steele doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

(Of course it will be hard to avoid no matter when we give him a shot, so let' just do it already.)

Obama got the moonbats' money but they don't have enough votes; so now he's moving to the "middle" because that's where the votes that get you elected reside.

But what are the heartbroken, disillusioned moonbats going to do? Demand a refund, vote for McBush, Nader or Paul? Nope, they're going to cry and whine and then in November they'll dry their tears and vote straight Democrat. Obama knows this and even the moonbats know it;
like good cadre, they'll do what they are told.

A few hard core crazies will sit out the election but I'm fairly certain that the majority will vote. I was surfing the DU before and they're all in an uproar about FISA, but, as one DUmmie stated, "I always vote Democrat and I always vote..." After eight years they're not going to let another Republican get elected.

I'm looking forward to the Democrat convention, it's shaping up to be even more riotous than I anticipated.

re: #227 Paul

Yeah buddie...I whole-heartedly agree with that!

re: #147 WhiteRasta

I know! Imagine a man from Georgia who decides foreign policy based on his 8 year old daughter, Amy.
It's the good ship lollypop -- but MORE SINISTER!

The Obaminable Snowjob man should not be elected as dogcatcher, let aloneto the SENATE-- and now he's shoveling his way to the Oval Office.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

re: #208 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

amen. I enjoy listening to Michael Steele and his views. He has the necessary quotient of common sense (which is no longer common), is naturally amiable, and has great humour which are an unbeatable, inperturbable combination, against such nitwits as Al Less than Sharp-ton and Jesse NutCutter Jackson.

Senator Obama, please vote no on telecom immunity.

We wouldn't want to give the American people an unfair advantage against the terrorists now, would we?

This is getting fun!

I'm tired, goodnight all.

re: #139 vbspurs

BOBBY JINDAL coming up. I know Charles doesn't like his ID stance, but I want to hear the guy a little more before passing judgement.

P.S.: I'm Catholic and have no difficulty reconciling evolution and my religion at all. I'm just not energised by that topic, because I don't get it.

I have no problem reconciling science and religion, as long as they don't try to hide the religious part the way these ID morons try to do. In his "Incarnations of Immortality" series, Piers Anthony pointed out that the Bible doesn't specify just how God created the world. For all we know, He could have used the primordial soup and evolution to get where we are.

I'd bet that's an idea that the Jesuits would find entertaining... :)

Obama lied, Bush Spied!

Coming to a moonbats protest sign soon.

Heh...

Bush spied, freedom was fried!

Feel free to use.
