    Even the GOP cannot tell the difference between the two of them. This made my morning! I love a good laugh. Especially if it is at the expense of the GOP!
  • Val
    I love this. Perfect ad for democrats.

    America May Be In Danger Now

    I believe that the author is speaking of the "ATTACK DOG - WITH LIPSTICK" when he uses the term FASCIST!!! Ooooooo-eeee!! OUCH!!! Where's my band-aid???

    My Mayor is already making his play for CA Gov in 2010. He is VERY attractive in person though and I imagine his charm is somewhere on par with Bill Clinton (plus he's already had a sex scandal).
  • rikyrah
    BUT, he married his hoochie, so now SHE is his ' true love'.

    Haha, "Freudian Slip...It was a Freudian slip."

    Found this comment over at Politicalinaction.com from CNN.com

    i like this comment:

    "Conclusions from an independent observer after closely following both Conventions:

    - The Democratic Convention reminds me of an uplifting harmony conducted by a virtuoso maestro surrounded by qualified musicians playing in tune, who together inspired the best qualities of the American and human spirit and helped us dream of a better world for all.

    - The Republican Convention created the uncomfortable feeling that I was witnessing the darker side of human nature and helped me better understand why Americans are so morose and distrustful of the rest of the world, and why most Americans and their natural friends have lost faith in government. The general mood, chants and slogans sadly reminded me of scenes I have only seen in movies and documentaries where people blindly shouted “deutschland uber alles”. How sad.

    - I have lost all my previous admiration and much respect for John McCain. In spite of his gentler, somnolent tone in his acceptance speech tonight, it was full of the usual, tired empty slogans, rhetoric and wishful thinking but completely devoid of content. How could he have sold his soul to the devil so easily and permitted “his” Convention to be highjacked by the same angry, mean-spirited, mistrusting people who have created the mess we are in today? Where were his vaunted decency and common sense? It has also led me to question the value of his experience and “achievements”. Apart from withstanding bravely the suffering of a young prisoner of war, his long experience in the military and in politics amounts to mediocrity, in spite of his long years of “service” and his cheeky chutzpah. Where would he really be today if he were not born with a silver spoon in his mouth or if he had not remarried into serious money? He would probably be happily driving a truck to earn a living, instead of speaking like a “maverick” while acting and living like a comfortable member of the elite establishment.

    - Barack Obama? He displayed leadership, intelligence, humanity, judgement, courage, generosity, strength of character and maturity that I have rarely seen in one politician in all my lifetime. Even if they had 100 years of experience, John McCain and his self-described “pitbull with lipstick” could only dream of developing these rare qualities in a single individual. If Barack Obama is not ready to become a good president, there is no other active politician alive today who is ready.

    God bless America and God bless this world."

    "We're not going to let any bureaucrats stand between you and your doctor!!"

    (((((CHEERS!!!)))))) Wild <<<<applause>>>>>!!! Thousands of white people cheering!

    And all I could think was "no, you fuckhead. Only the insurance companies are allowed to stand between me and my doctor."

    These people make me sick.
  • GreenLadyHere
    bigassbelle: Thank you for reminding me about wearing my "sun glasses"!!! :>) :>) :>)
  • msmartin
    John McCain has had 25 years to chane things - why should we believe he's going to do it now?
  • TruthSeeker
    I almost lost it at the end where he kept saying "..fight with me." In that ultra-bright, low contrast room...it was awful.

    Gavin Newsom is damn good! McCauliffe was great too...he better not make any fast moves.
  • CraigHickman
    Gavin Newsome is a mannequin.

    Really, what did he say. Is he on CNN?
  • TruthSeeker
    He was really good, I thought. He was on one segment of Larry King.
  • msmartin
    I thought Katrina (don't remember last name - very intellient woman and not afraid to call shit for what it is) made very good points. She said that the talk about community organizing was about urban communities (black) and that it was typical republilcan behavior. Did you see that?
  • GreenLadyHere
    msmartin: She was good!! :>) :>)

    Oh! I meant ta say - EXCUSE ME! :>) :>)
  • TruthSeeker
    Yep... She got that in right at the end.

    This convention is so scripted....there's a grey haired man holding up a sign: College students for McCain.

    Bridget looked pretty tonight. But I can't understand why Meaghan always drags her by the hand....she's 16!!!
  • parker404
    Meaghan drags Bridget around like she's slightly retarded or something.
  • msmartin
    Does she have mental problems. She looks overweight in an unhealthy way. I wonder if they take care of her?
  • kate03
    Probably they don't give a shyt about her.

    And is it just me or did Gov. Palin look like a barfly in that suit and bra?
  • msmartin
    I thought that blouse was inappropriate.
  • GreenLadyHere
    msmartin: Me 2!! :>)
