3 June 2008

[SE Mom]

All 3 candidates have live speeches planned tonight- incoming results from the LAST (can you believe it) of the Dem primaries- it seemed a live thread was called for!

Too bad no one is watching, only Fox news is carrying his speech.

“That little under the breath chuckle before his line “that’s not change....” makes him sound deranged.”

If a tree falls in the forest...

[Raineygoodyear]

LOL..No Joke he is even putting my Cat ZORRO to sleep!

See #115

McCain needs money, organization, and one more big electoral prize.

[CAluvdubya]

If Romney is the vp candidate, maybe he cold sit in for McCain against Obama during debates. Romney might come off better??

NBC calling it for Ding Dong.

MSNBC & CNN: Both reporting that the DemocRAT party has nominated someone named Barak Hussein Obama to be President of the United States.

McCain had been calling for more troops for at least a year before the surge started.

Not true. McCain been all over the board on Iraq. 1st he wanted 250,000 US troops to Americanize the war. Then he wanted the Baker Commission plan to cut a deal with the Iranians and run away. McCain is the father of the Baker Commission.

Then when he was dead in the water politically last year, McCain jumped onto the Petraus's Surge as a Hail Mary play. He had nothing left to lose.

We are succeeding in Iraq despite all the DC crowd, like McCain, could do to politically undercut the Iraq effort.

The only reason the Surge worked was Rumsfield/Bush paid the political price in 2004-2005-2006 to buy the Iraqi forces the time they needed to get up to speed.

All the Surge does is link 1 American Battalion to each Iraqi brigade to serve as on the job trainers. With out those Iraqi forces being there, the Surge would of failed.

Where Rummy screwed up was underestimating the amount of time the Iraqis would need to get it together. Where Bush screwed up was not making any serious effort to communicate to the people what was going on and letting a clown like McCain claim credit for things that took place despite him and the rest of the DC armchair generals.

Furthermore- the crowd sounds as fake as McCain does- remember “canned laughter” on tv? That’s what this crowd reminds me of. I can almost see the little signs popping up- “BOO NOW” “ROAR WITH APPROVAL NOW” “LOL NOW”

Hey, you would too if it meant getting t-shirts and coffee mugs.

[Right_in_Virginia]

McCain’s actually b*t&#-slapping Obama.

[AliVeritas]

Palin.

[joebuck]

This would be a good speech if anyone else was giving it.

[don-o]

“Put aside personal and partisan interest...” Like the amnesty bill? Got yer arse handed to you on that one Johnny. Want some more of it?

[prairiebreeze]

I’ll post more clearly. NBC says enough delegates have switched camps and informed NBC of their decision to call Obama the nominee.

[Rebelbase]

When I close my eyes and listen to him it reminds me of someone else........

[Sprite518]

I have the same dream...

[advertising guy]

that speech would put a tennis shoe to sleep

[romanesq]

Many people believe Romney is the best choice for VP.
I tend to agree. He’s better at getting things done than most.

And no, he’s not perfect and people are comfortable acting as bigots when his name comes up. I’ve seen it firsthand with a friend last summer. Same guy had no problem voting for Hillary.

Then again he now lives in LA.

[spectre]

Me too..But I'm positive he was speaking about the Katrina refugee babies.

It's just that McCain says some dumb things and is speaking like he is on Tranqs..

[NoGrayZone]

WE’RE SCREWN!!!!
