Pelosi is out there telling about all they achieved

She included "rebates". She and other dems in congress want to take credit for Bush's political scam that did nothing. A while ago she had said that we should do another rebate. It's like bizarro world.

I have a hard time watching her on stage. All I can think of is "Impeachment is off the table".

Re-elect Pelosi.

When it takes a liar, she's the best.

For once you've got a good point

...which is why we have this:

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. ~~~John Kenneth Galbraith

I like this video on New Orleans

Carter is giving a sober explanation of what happened.

McCain would do to the US what Bush did to New Orleans.

Fact is, N O was very quickly rehabilitated

to its pre-Katrina crap hole status.

Are you talking to me Brian?

You're an idiot. Don't expect me to bother with your nonsense.

Maliki demands 'specifc deadline' for U.S. troop pullout
By Leila Fadel

Posted on Monday, August 25, 2008

Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki said Monday there would be no security agreement between the United States and Iraq without an unconditional timetable for withdrawal — a direct challenge to the Bush administration, which insists that the timing for troop departure would be based on conditions on the ground.

"No pact or an agreement should be set without being based on full sovereignty, national common interests, and no foreign soldier should remain on Iraqi land, and there should be a specific deadline and it should not be open," Maliki told a meeting of tribal Sheikhs in Baghdad.

...

They can keep the mercenaries though.

Jesse Jr

doesn't sound like idiot.

Was he adopted?

For a second I thought it was Jesse Jackson they introduced

It's his son. Jackson has done good things in his ay but he's gone off the deep end since. His son is quite bright.

Financials drag on market; Dow falls more than 240

Financials drag on market; Dow falls more than 240

Stocks sank in light trading Monday as worries about American International Group Inc. touched off broader concerns that the deterioration of the credit markets will bring more big losses for financial companies.

The major indexes lost about 2 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average fell by nearly 250 points, erasing a gain of about 200 points seen Friday. Bond prices also jumped as investors fled to the safety of government debt.

New York-based AIG was the steepest decliner among the 30 stocks that make up the Dow industrials after a Credit Suisse analyst cut his price target on the world's largest insurer and forecast steep losses for the third quarter. Adding to investors concerns, Fitch Ratings warned late Friday that it might cut its ratings on the company, which has been buffeted by investors' distaste for some of the types of complex debt instruments on AIG's books.

Now, re Biden

I dont think he hates America, I just think he's misguided.

Of course, I wish his priest would kick his ass like they used to do in the good old days when one of the flock got out of line.

By im_so_lonely August 25, 2008 - 8:49pm

Now, it's awfully silly to think anyone here gives a shit about what you think of Biden.

Not only will he do to the country what Bush did to New Orleans, he will most definitely start more wars.

War Veterans’ Concussions Are Often Overlooked
By LIZETTE ALVAREZ
Published: August 25, 2008

...Mr. Owsley is part of a growing tide of combat veterans who come home from Iraq and Afghanistan with mild traumatic brain injuries, or concussions, caused by powerful explosions. As many as 300,000, or 20 percent, of combat veterans who regularly worked outside the wire, away from bases, have suffered at least one concussion, according to the latest Pentagon estimates. About half the soldiers get better within hours, days or several months and require little if any medical assistance. But tens of thousands of others have longer-term problems that can include, to varying degrees, persistent memory loss, headaches, mood swings, dizziness, hearing problems and light sensitivity.

These symptoms, which may be subtle and may not surface for weeks or months after their return, are often debilitating enough to hobble lives and livelihoods.

To this day, some veterans — it is impossible to know how many — remain unscreened, their symptoms undiagnosed. Mild brain injury was widely overlooked by the military and the veterans health system until recently.

Even now, with traumatic brain injury called the signature injury of the Iraq war, some soldiers and their advocates say that complications from mild concussions often are not recognized.

Mr. Owsley’s request for a Purple Heart, given to troops wounded or killed in action, was denied by the military, a devastating blow. Others say that their mild brain injury entitled them only to low disability payments, or, if the diagnosis was inconclusive, to none at all.

...

Republicans say "fuck 'em". Republicans only care about themselves. McCain is a republican.

I always see McCain with his wife Cindy

But I never see more of his family. I wonder if he is worried about showing his black child? He shouldn't be. But looking back to 2000, the Bush administration used is as a smear tactic. McCain probably thinks he'll loose just because of his child again.

Republicans suck.

Why are you talking instead of letting us hear the speeches?

On ETV, I heard Nancy Pelosi, Jessie Jackson Jr., and Obama's half sister, who turned out to be an excellent public speaker. ETV also had an interview with Jimmy Carter. Carter said some remarkable things about racism in America. Meantime, your audio has you folks talking to each other.

bebe and the toad Go to Denver

2 arrested in possible plot to harm Obama

DENVER – Police have arrested two men they believe are possibly linked to a white supremacy group in connection with a threat against Sen. Barack Obama.
For one of the men, officers found two rifles, ammunition, scopes and methamphetamines following a routine traffic stop on Sunday.
[...]
A second man was arrested at Cherry Creek Hotel in Glendale on Monday. NBC News reports that when police knocked, the man jumped out a sixth floor window, injuring himself. He ran into nearby bushes where officers apprehended him. Authorities say he had weapons.
[...]
Authorities plan to release more details on Tuesday afternoon.

It's too bad that Democratics

won't govern in a manner consistent with Ms. Obama's family stories.

Democratics keep people poor and helpless rather than build them up.

The families She just described are struggling mostly with increased food and fuel costs caused by Liberal energy policy (no drilling domestically, no new nuclear power, no new natural gas sources)

By its_so_over10:48pm

All the crap energy sources, Clean up your act, Itsy.

One word iso...

pro- jec- shhe- un.

It's weird.

I know it's_so_over is speaking... But all I hear is BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

After enough meaningless troll posts, my brain just tunes it out.

"To end the war in Iraq responsibly"?

Comm-u-lib speak for "surrender".

Michelle's over selling just a bit.

Hope for change - change to hope blah, blah, blah.

This woman may have once been intelligent, but she's hung with hubbie and other comm-u-libs much too long.

"Michelle Oblahma - the judgment to get sucked in"

Surrender? To whom?

Maliki?
Look for your masters to declare victory in October. BushCo doesn't give a rats ass about Iraq- they got their money.

"they got their money."

Not so fast. I haven't confirmed it yet but I heard Maliki is reneging on the no-bid turnover of their netional oil resources to the American oil olygopoly... and cutting a better deal WITH CHINA.

HA!... Wouldn't that be a kick in the balls!

That would be awesome.

Iraqi citizens might actually get something out of their nation's most profitable resource.

Michelle is pretty

I haven't really followed any stories about Michelle Obama.

The people of America

Are tired of being sold out by republicans. Republicans keep the little man down while increasing the profits of oil companies by billions. How do they do this? War. That's right. Bush sacrificed 4100 Americans and a bunch of mercenary scum (but who's counting them?) all for oil company profit. There were no wmd. There was no wmd program. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush didn't care. What's a few thousand soldiers for oil profits?

Republicans suck.

Obama camp: Prosecute Simmons

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Obama_camp_Prosecute_Simmons...

Democratics – all for free speech, unless they don’t like what’s being said.

“Obama – the judgment to have as friends only nasty, revolting people.”

Simmons is Halliburton

Simmons' own family is suing him for slanderous lies.

Obama just got in line early. What Kerry should have done to that Simmons swiftboat slime. The same slime, you might want to know, owns Halliburton. It all comes clear, don't it.

Simmons fancies himself a big puppet-master, like Howard Hughes. Only he hasn't got the money, balls, or brains of Hughes.

Simmons should drop a couple million on finding Bin Laden, and answer the unanswered question--why did Bin Laden's family get a Republican escort out of the country, away from prosecution for complicity in 9-11 terrorism.

STAND UP FOR OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS

.
OK BARRACK, please, not another "rainbows up the ass speech". Can't you see Democrats are MAD. Democrats are ANGRY.

OK, You are very inspirational. We get it. Now, we need to know you can fight.
KICK YOUR OPPONENT WHILE HE IS DOWN. YOU CAN APOLIGIZE LATER.
MAKE SURE HE CAN'T GET UP. THEN KICK HIM AGAIN.

Talk about the last eight years and why they are so dangerous. Tie Bush to McCain over and over again.

Come on now. We know you are inspirational. McCain has used POW until we are sick of it. We are getting sick of inspiration. WHERE IS THE BEEF.

OUR RETURNING SOLDERS ARE IN MOLD COVERED HOSPITALS.

MCCAIN VOTED AGAINT THEM.

GET MCCAIN
GET MCCAIN
GET MCCAIN

WHEW, I think I can sit down now.

Hillary just said...

And 'm paraphrasing here:

If you supported Clinton and you vote for McCain thinking you support Hillary, then you are a fucking stupid.

By f u bush2 August 26, 2008 - 11:19pm

:lol:
Paraphrasing as well, of course, she also said:

And if you sit it out and don't fight, you failed to fight for our soldiers and teachers and firefighters and union members and mothers and children.
So get over your idol worshipping and get behind the nominee.
