Here we go again...Bush sucks, McCain blows, America stinks blah blah blah...Pelosi is a disgrace!

2 Sharmuta  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:14:56pm

Nancy thinks the party was strengthened by hill's candidacy. You go on and tell yourself that nan.

3 quickjustice  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:15:29pm

Every time she stops blinking, she's lying.

4 mitthrawnurdo  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:15:35pm

Any way to tabulate all of Pelosi's blinks tonight?

/Amount probably depends how much she lies or exaggerates during this speech.

5 mbruce  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:15:38pm

She want to save the planet. Harness that blinkage for power and we may stand a chance.

6 Charles  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:15:56pm

The blinking is much less these days. Must have found the proper dosages.

7 Jetpilot1101  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 5:16:13pm

Proud of the Democrats...what the hell have you accomplished. Oh wait, here comes the list.

Nope, New Orleans is still a cesspool.
Pay slackers more.

Great Nancy.

Nancy Pelosi can't read a tele-prompter...

If Bush spoke like this, they'd rip him apart.

From the tail end of the spinoff above about Alex Jones inciting the crowd against Michelle Malkin:

After about a half hour, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a handful of reporters, a smattering of fake coins and several piles of horse poop on the sidewalk.

My mom, the girls, and I left home in Chicago and got to Denver yesterday. What a beautiful city!

The convention started this morning, and everyone here is getting ready for the big week.

All the work you've done is at the heart of what's happening here, and our team filmed a short video to give you a look behind the scenes at the convention center.

Take a minute to check out the video and share it with your friends:

[Link: my.barackobama.com...]

This week, folks from across the country will get to know Barack and our family a little better. Tonight I'm giving a speech at the convention, and I'm planning to share a few stories about the Barack I know -- the husband, the father, and the man who shares my dreams for our girls, for this country, and for our future.

Before my speech, we're also going to show a video introducing our family to families across the country. Make sure to turn on your TV at 10:30 p.m. EDT (8:30 p.m. MDT) to see it, or you can watch it at [Link: www.BarackObama.com....]

This is such an important moment, and I hope you'll join me by tuning into the convention tonight and all week long.

Thanks,

Michelle

Police Investigate Possible Plot To Kill Obama

Law enforcement authorities have arrested two men and several law enforcement sources say the investigation is looking into whether the men intended to harm presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

According to multiple sources, Aurora police made a routine traffic stop Sunday morning at 2:38 a.m. and arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. Sources say he was driving a rented pickup truck. The Secret Service says two rifles were found in his truck along with methamphetamine. Another law enforcement source says he was told at least one of the rifles was a "sniper rifle."

A second source told CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass authorities told officers they are concerned they may have come upon a possible "assassination plot."

That arrest then led authorities to a second man staying at the Cherry Creek Hotel at 600 South Colorado Blvd in Glendale. When authorities knocked on the man's door, they say he jumped out of his sixth floor window, landing on an awning and running from the scene. They say they soon found him with a broken ankle. He too was arrested.

Pelosi get her knuckles rapped by the Bishops.

Since Speaker Pelosi has, in her words, studied the issue "for a long time," she must know very well one of the premier works on the subject, Jesuit John Connery's Abortion: The Development of the Roman Catholic Perspective (Loyola, 1977). Here's how Connery concludes his study:

"The Christian tradition from the earliest days reveals a firm antiabortion attitude . . . The condemnation of abortion did not depend on and was not limited in any way by theories regarding the time of fetal animation. Even during the many centuries when Church penal and penitential practice was based on the theory of delayed animation, the condemnation of abortion was never affected by it. Whatever one would want to hold about the time of animation, or when the fetus became a human being in the strict sense of the term, abortion from the time of conception was considered wrong, and the time of animation was never looked on as a moral dividing line between permissible and impermissible abortion."

she never answered. and she stated that the catholic church had never answered the question either.

Pakistan Meltdown.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — The ruling coalition that just a week ago drove U.S. ally Pervez Musharraf from the presidency broke apart Monday, throwing Pakistan into political turmoil just as it faces an increasingly difficult fight against Islamic militants.

The collapse of the fragile alliance threw more power to Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of assassinated ex-leader Benazir Bhutto and a corruption-tainted former polo player who now becomes the front-runner to replace Musharraf.

Pelosi's ignorance is deadly; she says she is a big booster of natural gas, but she literally fails to understand that to get natural gas we have to drill for it, onshore and off. Hence this exchange yesterday:

BROKAW: Sounds like we’re going to have offshore drilling.
PELOSI: No, no, no.


Nancy Pelosi's ignorance is costing every American money, impairing our economy, depriving us of untold hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and endangering our national security. One wonders how long voters will be willing to put up with Democratic control of Congress.

Silky Pony returned $4 million to donors....


The Edwards ‘08 Campaign for President has quietly refunded almost $4 million to individual contributors, a number of them, bundlers and big backers. This should be news to Warren Buffet who recently mused that Edwards’ supporters should get together and file a class action suit. It seems another “class” has already had their contributions refunded–and it’s not the “grassroots” little guys.

We had no idea the campaign was handing out refunds until we happened to come across the information while perusing the site OpenSecrets.org and the data supplied to the Federal Election Commission by the Edwards’ campaign.

We were baffled, how did the Edwards’ campaign manage to refund that much money, almost $4 million, and no one notice? We hadn’t seen any mention of the refunds elsewhere, not on the web, not in the MSM, and not on the Edwards’ campaign website.

There is an update at the end.....check it out.

Desperate to salvage the fizzled demonstration, 9/11 nutball Alex Jones started barking at me and attempting to make a scene and incite a riot. I should have brought my spit shield. Ick. Jim Hoft was there, along with my friends from Pajamas Media, and provided volunteer bodyguard services (thanks, guys).

Video of that coming for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned.

From Reuters of all places:

Backers of Hillary Clinton cloud Obama show

DENVER (Reuters) - Democrats opened their national convention on Monday and a rift involving Hillary Clinton's resentful supporters threatened to rain on presidential hopeful Barack Obama's nominating parade.

But then they revert back to the Reuters we expect:

Obama tried to assuage anxiety among some Democrats about a mild slide in opinion polls that has left him in a dead heat with McCain heading toward the November 4 election.

Mild?

I'm seriously saddened to see people that follow Obama so uneducated. When they speak or post comments, I'm in amazement at how clueless they are about taxes, economics, finance, what rights we have and have not, etc.

That's exactly what I thought as I sat and listened. It's not only sad, it's terrifying. So I had to go.

My wife has taken the week off (she works downtown). She says the Democrats love of our mountains has inspired her, and every time she thinks of the Democrats she drives further into the mountains. She's 95 miles away now, at our mountain get-away place. I think I'll join her tomorrow. The fishing should be good.

Ted Kennedy - traitor.

It was a May 14, 1983 letter from the head of the KGB, Viktor Chebrikov, to the head of the USSR, the odious Yuri Andropov, with the highest level of classification. Chebrikov relayed to Andropov an offer from Senator Ted Kennedy, presented by Kennedy’s old friend and law-school buddy, John Tunney, a former Democratic senator from California, to reach out to the Soviet leadership at the height of a very hot time in the Cold War. According to Chebrikov, Kennedy was deeply troubled by the deteriorating relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, which he believed was bringing us perilously close to nuclear confrontation. Kennedy, according to Chebrikov, blamed this situation not on the Soviet leadership but on the American president---Ronald Reagan. Not only was the USSR not to blame, but, said Chebrikov, Kennedy was, quite the contrary, “very impressed” with Andropov.

You can't honor the troops by supporting the guy who stood beside the comments of Murtha. Murtha owes the Haditha marines an apology and Obama owes them one for backing the comments of Murtha.

517 SeafoodGumbo  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 6:22:53pm

Kennedy traitor cont.

The thrust of the letter is that Reagan had to be stopped, meaning his alleged aggressive defense policies, which then ranged from the Pershing IIs to the MX to SDI, and even his re-election bid, needed to be stopped. It was Ronald Reagan who was the hindrance to peace. That view of Reagan is consistent with things that Kennedy said and wrote at the time, including articles in sources like Rolling Stone (March 1984) and in a speeches like his March 24, 1983 remarks on the Senate floor the day after Reagan’s SDI speech, which he lambasted as “misleading Red-Scare tactics and reckless Star Wars schemes.”

Even more interesting than Kennedy’s diagnosis was the prescription: According to Chebrikov, Kennedy suggested a number of PR moves to help the Soviets in terms of their public image with the American public. He reportedly believed that the Soviet problem was a communication problem, resulting from an inability to counter Reagan’s (not the USSR’s) “propaganda.” If only Americans could get through Reagan’s smokescreen and hear the Soviets’ peaceful intentions.

So, there was a plan, or at least a suggested plan, to hook up Andropov and other senior apparatchiks with the American media, where they could better present their message and make their case. Specifically, the names of Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters are mentioned in the document. Also, Kennedy himself would travel to Moscow to meet with the dictator.

Time was of the essence, since Reagan, as the document privately acknowledged, was flying high en route to easy re-election in 1984.

No, he is not. I wept for days on that terrible day..22 November, 1963. I was 9 months pregnant, and NY Grampa was stationed at the now-defunct Boston Army Base.

IMHO, Caroline is a disgrace to her parents. This is not the Caroline Kennedy of the 60's, etc.
