I am really excited to have Sarah Palin on board. Someone earlier said she was good for giving CPR.
I think you are right. But the CPR is for the entire country. She is a wonderful breath of fresh air and has alot to offer. Good going, McCain!!

LOL

What a pandering move by a dimwitted old man. So, I guess all of that grumbling about Obama’s lack of experience was just a bunch of BS.

All McCain can run is negative ads because he has no plan of his own to restore the dignity of our great country. He has moved too far to the right and promises to the most pro-life president ever. Thank goodness he will never be the president and can head back to one of his seven kitchen tables.

WAKE UP - our country needs to respect the right to personal choice as defined in the Constitution, focus on health care for all, restore our leadership in world affairs and leap out of the pockets of big oil.

If you think GWB has been good for our environment, our health care, our educational system and has made the world a safer place - feel free to pick this grumpy old white dude.

If you care about your fellow citizens and the country we are fortunate enough to live in, please support the ticket of fairness, liberty and opportunity - Obama/Biden 2008!

Republicans are not bad people - they are just less informed on the real issues. Please look elsewhere for your news sources than fox news and uncle rush. Please checkout the Huffington Post, DailyKos, Digg, the BBC, CNN and your local paper.

I trust the American people to make the right choice in 2008 - Obama/Biden!

McCain can not get the presidency this time, but he has the right to have fun until then. Good job McCain, Palin is also good at giving CPR just in case you need it.

Apparently being a “syndicated columnist” means that you can write pieces with no factual basis that consist of exclusively insulting Bill Clinton and making up real screamers like “President Bush has done more for HIV/AIDS than any president” - you mean, such as, promote abstinence-only sex education, which has been clearly shown to be ineffective?

Shameful.

McCain blew my vote!!! Lost it compltetly as choosing her as his second!!! I thought he’d pick someone to compete against Joe Biden’s experience!

When more of you comment about Bill Clinton, rather than the pick of McBush, that tells me all I need.

McBush just blew. Oh, and picking a vp who is under investigation sounds about right. Bush tended to award his criminal bunch with medals of honor.

Did anyone notice that McCain picked the oil state governor to be his running mate. If there was an easier job over the last two years than Governor of Alaska over the last two years with skyrocketing oil prices, I want it. While the rest of us were paying at the pump, the Alaska government was racking in the royalty revenue.

John, you must have been reading my mind! For the past to days I have been encouraging you through this forum to pick a right-leaning running mate. You did even better, you pick a right-leaning woman for your running mate.

CONGRATULATIONS MR. PRESIDENT!

Ok, so I take it all those “inexperienced Obama” commercials were just a total waste of time, now that McCain picked Big Oil’s Soccer Mom as his running mate?

As an independent, McCain just lost my vote..WTH is he thinking. Biden as number 2 over Palin, seals it for me.

Yo, Ivan baby, check the U.S Constitution. In that great, enduring document, you’ll find where your “rights” are enumerated. They don’t include that for which you are whining. Peace, bro.

Bill Clinton is the ultimate self promoter. He is ticked off, because once again his coattails mean nothing. For someone whom liberals claim was so good as president, why does everything he touches turn to stone, including his wife’s political hopes? He never won as many popular votes as George Bush, and Clinton was probably the worst foreign policy president we have had. No one cares what he thinks or says outside of San Francisco or Manhattan. I was embarrassed to be an American while he was president and I still cringe when ever he shows his now saggy, wrinkled and smirky face in public. He needs to go away, but unfortunately like Jimmy Carter, he will be a canker sore, always there when you are trying to enjoy a meal, or talk, or just think.

I think it’s fair to say that McCain pick is risky. The most fundamental argument for picking a vice president is that the person
should be able to take over the presidency in case of death of the president. This could backfire,
since he courting Hillary’s female voters, who would have to switch parties to vote for him. Moreover, these women who have to overlook the fact that Palin is prolife. It’s not that most women are pro-choice, but maybe they just want to be able to have the option to make the choice.

Onother problem the decision presents for McCain is that he can no longer question Obama’s inexperience. Palin is less experience than Obama, so if the GOP brign up the issue of inexperience, Dems can counter and question his judgment. Already Dems can say, here is McCain questioning
Obama’s experience and than he pick a VP somebody with less experience than Obama…

The good thing about this choice is the GOP’s plan is to paint Obama a radical liberal. It has worked in the past and it might just
work again now. Let’s get ready for the big debates…

Cal,

Bill Clinton should be blown off. The Headline should have read:

“Convicted Perjurer Endorses Obama in Exchange for Large Sums of Money”.

Clinton is a sociopath that would sodomize his own family members for money. He doesn’t blink when he lies. If they’re effective, he relishes in it.

Truth be told, Clinton did it for the money. As always. The endorsement was geared to be as generous as the Obama camps payoff of Hillary’s campaign debt.

Most of the lies will be fixed by the Republican convention followed by Obama’s staggering drop in the polls immediately after McCain’s on the fly knoweldge of policy details will doom Obama in the debates. Obama is still relishing Ivy League, Ivory-Tower theories that are really communism taught in a vacuum under a different name. The McCains and Palin’s of the world will set these things straight and should focus on the following:

1. John McCain’s voting record is constitutional. Obama and Biden’s are not. The 5th Amendment violations of the Violence Against Women Act show that. (It was held to be unconsitutional by the US Supreme Court. Same for the DC Gun Ban position of Obama.

2. We already have Universal Health Insurance and that’s the problem.

3. We are approaching 10 Trillion dollars in debt, mostly due to Medicare, and now is the time to cut stupid, unconstitutional programs, not increase them.

4. Increasing Energy Supply and Diversifying Supply is critical.

5. A Manhattan Project and Compulsory Patent Licensing will fix most of our problems.

6. The American Dream is built upon production, not consumerism.

The knowledge of McCain and Palin on these issues is paramount. McCain’s deficiencies on economics were only inferior to Guliani and Romney, they still far surpass the earmark twins..Obama and Biden’s.

“I like preidents(sic) that like women, Kennedy, Clinton, FDR ect”

Fan of phallanders are you ? They liked women allright, but not the one they were married to.

Obvious products of public schools.

I find it interesting that Thomas mentions Clinton’s inability to “take out” Bin Laden. How many year’s have we been in Bush’s war? Have I missed something? Has Bin Laden been taken out?

I also find questioning Obama’s “readiness” for holding office or his ability to lead to be amusing considering our current state of affairs. We’ve had such great leadership for the past eight years!

I have watched the convention- and cannot believe the outright lies these people are saying. Does anybody realize there is less unemployment that during the Clinton years. There are less people considered in poverty than at any other time. Our media does nothing but lie about the Bush administration. Because Clinton was too much of a coward to face the Muslim agenda of destroying the US, today we face a greater danger. If you are thinking about voting for Obama, read his two books. They should scare the hell out of you. Find out who Frank is and all the other people he associated with. What his real philosophy is. And be ready to give him all your money, because he thinks he is the modern day Robin Hood. And don’t make too much money-cause he will take it to give it to the loafers who don’t pay anything. Remember, Louisiana was run by Democrasts-but somehow their debacule was blamed on Bush. Think California- now run by Democrats. Everything here is a disaster- the roads, the schools, the corrupt gov. the lack of water(think smelt fish), and the entire infrastructure. Evidently Obama thinks the gov should be Big Brother.

Excellent article, but no one is talking about one simple fact. Clinton/Gore ran on the abstract (means nothing or anything) word “change”. Now, some 16 years later, Obama is running on the same abstract. Is it the people or Fox that has the short memory?

Narcissistic describes both Clintons from head to toe. I’ve never seen two more dysfunctional people in American politics. It’s always been about them from the very first words I ever heard from Bill, right down to the speech last night — how great I’ve been for everything I’ve done for people, how great I am now for what I’m doing now and how great I’m going to be for all the good things I’m going to do for you all in the future. It’s sickening! I marvel that he doesn’t throw his shoulder out of joint trying to pat himself on the back.

Clinton is incorrect in his assertion that the Republicans have called Obama young and inexperienced. It was the Democrats, and more specififcally his wife Hillary and Joe Biden who have called Ubama too inexperienced and young to be C in C. As for Bill Clinton, the only person that called him too young or inexperienced was Ross Perot to whom he owes his presidency. Bush senior just called him a Bozo.

Ubama brought forth a surge of new energy and expectation, but since winning the nomination he has been hijacked by the Clinton machine and is therefore no longer representative of the aspirations of his original followers.

I Love the Clintons! I hope we see tons of them and I hope it drives the republicans crazy.lol

These speeches are all pomp and no substance. The Clintons are doing the minimal required by them and that has to be tough doing it after the back stabbing she took in the primaries. Obama has arisen from the left wing nut factory. The democrats are good for criticizing but not very good at solutions that do not rape the middle class. Their only real offense is to compare McCain to Bush. Pretty shallow so far. Good peice Cal.

Two thumbs up, Jonas! (Nobama)

I cannot believe…….(yes, I guess I can) how these ‘dems’ tell lies, and of course, the media lets them get by with it.
The welfare rate has been lower in the Bush adm., as has the unemployment rate, but the ‘top’ dems report the opposite, and the ……media….again, lets them lie & get by with it.
I was brought up to tell the truth, and always told my kids I wanted the truth, no matter how bad it was.
Where has truthfulness, common sense, and conscience gone? It sure is not present in the people who represent our great nation, and I DON’T mean the republicans necessarily. Obama and Biden have both been caught in untruths, and the attendees eat it up like candy. Very, very sad…….
P.S. Where have the good ‘dems’ gone……like Truman?

Carl in Maryland:

Last I looked, 9/11 happened 9 months into Bush’s presidency. Bill didn’t get Bin laden, huh? How’s lil’ George doing in that regard?

It is comical how Republican sycophants like you just hate the fact that under Clinton, we had a booming economy, balanced budget, low unemployment, etc. so you end up blaming him for an affair (what, McCain didn’t have affairs?) and an event that happend under someone elses watch, and ignore the fact that Bush took that booming economy, ran it into the ground, and eventually said of Bin laden that “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” This was in March of 2002! Bush gave up looking for Bin ladne as a priority 6 months after 9/11!

Dear Mr. Thomas,

If I were the President of our great country, I’d much rather be a laughingstock on late night TV, and one of the most well respected Presidents here in the US and around the world, than THE most fiscally, morally, and diplomatically irresponsible President that our country has ever known…who, by the way, is the laughingstock of 70% of the United States, the majority of countries in the world, in addition to ALL of TV.

Just think how much worse GW would be doing if he didn’t have Fox news and Texas to help him out in his approval ratings.

Thanks for bankrupting our country and damaging our reputation abroad Mr. Bush, and thank you Mr. Thomas for doing your part to perpetuate the fairy-tale of a successful Republican administration!
——————————————————————————————————————
you are a bumbling ID10T,
i hear this all the time, blah blah blah, you can only go on what you have heard through the grapevine for so long before you take it all as fact.
up until the last two quarters, our President had lower unemployment on a percentage basis than your great savior of a president.
I am not goign to waste my time giving you specifics as there are many, you have to do your own research and get the actual facts. But, because it is GWB you are automatically refusing like all other democrats, to research yoru facts before you start to spew sewage out of your mouth.

Couldn’t agree with you more!!

DIDN’T WATCH THE SPEECH IN IT’S ENTIRITY. JUST CAN’T STAND TO BE LIED TO LIKE THAT. I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE REFER TO BILL CLINTON AS PRESIDENT. IT’S AS IF HE WERE STILL IN OFFICE (HEAVEN FORBID). HE SHOULD BE REFERRED TO AS FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON. YEAH, HIS LEGACY LIVES ON AND ON AND ON. HE JUST WILL NOT GO AWAY. YOU’D THINK BILL & HILL ARE ALL OVER OBAMA JUST TO INTICE HIM TO CONTINUE THEIR AGENDA.

I am looking forward to the time when Fox has it’s own news channel.

Why is it, that for those of us who point out the many short comings of Obama, we are told we hate him? Like Uncle Bill, if you can’t disprove the facts, discredit the fact finder. For shame. He’s such a “swell head”!

We need to elect McCain, bring in the draft (as he has already hinted) and go after Iran and possibly Russia.

Dear Mr. Thomas,

If I were the President of our great country, I’d much rather be a laughingstock on late night TV, and one of the most well respected Presidents here in the US and around the world, than THE most fiscally, morally, and diplomatically irresponsible President that our country has ever known…who, by the way, is the laughingstock of 70% of the United States, the majority of countries in the world, in addition to ALL of TV.

Mr. Thomas has always had a flair for quick and concise assessments in his editorials which are boxed up quite nicely — He even adds the bow! Bill Clinton is very likeable even “believable” in his presentations of fact and fiction … but disingenuous all the same. Thank you for summing up what really “is”.

P.S. — Just skimmed over many of the replies. It’s easy to see why people are taken advantage of in so many ways these days……they see [or don’t see] what they want.

natasha I have to say that you are the stupid one. I am sure that you believe that you will be receiving much more in welfare benefits with the tax and spend skumbags. Take a look at how your black woman race has been used by the dem-rats ever since LBJ started the live free, don’t have to work, breed and have as many kids as you can, no husband/family stability required, the government will take care of you. Well the dem-rats finally have their voting base. Nothing more than a dumbed down no moral freeloading group of idiots.

“I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski”…

4 more months!!!!!

That’s all they have left!!!!

I love how the liberal people that read these blogs post. They normally follow the following patterns:

1. “Fox News is so right winged it is not objective far and balanced or whatever”. No news media is completely balanced. All spin the information, so why not watch the one that spins it the way you like it. Try NBC, CBS, CNN.

2. “All of us that read Fox News and believe it or ignorant and small minded”. Doubled edged argument. You are the same for not accepting my views. I guess the liberal people of this world hold the copy rights to “Toleration”.

3. “You always point out the prosperity of the 90’s as Bill Clinton work”. Little insight that politicians do not want us to know. Our economy largely controls it self. Neither Democrat nor Republican can do much to change that. How many of you had a cell phone or computer in 1990? How many had either in 1999? Wow!!! A technological breakthrough never seen in history and you actually think it was Bill Clinton who caused it. If you believe all that then, wow, you are stupid.

4. I like how you point out the moral discrepancies of the GOP bad boys. Most of us will accuse them of being wrong just like it was anyone else, so what’s your point. Seems to me the Democrats control most of the depravity market.

Rant off now.

Cal, great opinion that I happen to agree with.(To you brilliant liberals, I am sorry I ended the last sentence with a preposition)

I do not understand how you can dislike someone so bad one minute and be all for them the next. Smells like cold hard cash to me, heck for millions to pay off my campaign debt, I would endorse Obama too.

To all you right winger and fixed news watchers:

Obama will be president …

and you should just live with it… for the next 8 years at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boo Woo….

You have got be kidding… You Repukes have no idea the damage your party has done to America. I like preidents that like women, Kennedy, Clinton, FDR ect. Lets bring Edwards back now I really like him. It’s so much better than the Anti Gay-Gay Repubilcans. Just more hypocracy by the far right

Fox News is a joke along with it’s veiwers. Guess what, if Obama wins your lives will be better in spite of you right wing whacks.

Cal you have it right! First off I land somewhere between Independent and Mid Right.

Think about this for a minute everyone. What are you supporting in Obama? You are supporting a man with no experience. Let me repeat that - Obama has NO experience! While I have my problems with Clinton, he did have more experience. I do not buy any of what Bill Clinton said last night in his speech. How can you believe a man that lied to the ENTIRE U.S. in front of a grand jury? Do you honestly think that he supports Obama?? Not even a month or so ago Bill Clinton himself was saying that Obama does not have enough experience to be in the White House!!! WAKE UP!! He left the convention after his speech and he will not be there tonight for Obama’s speech. Wow! Now that is support! He no more supports Obama than the rightest of the right.

How many times has Obama flip-flopped on his policies? It amazes me how middle America Democrats believe that having their taxes raised over and over is going to be a good thing. It amazes me that they think that the government is the solution to EVERYTHING! They have lost all sense of their self worth. They would rather have the government pay for their healthcare than get out there and work for it. I am not the one that makes welfare mommies pop out babies right and left, and I shouldn’t have to pay for it.

I challenge any of you to truly tell me the REASONS why you support Obama. “Because he is bringing change.” Well anybody can say that people. Change can go both ways……… good and bad. The speech tonight will look like a rock concert because that is all that it is. A lot of groopies flocking to the rock star. I have news for you people - every rock star looses his fame. We DO NOT need a rock star. We need a political leader with some experience. All of you left wing nutbags have already forgotten 9/11. You have forgotten that the U.S. has enemies out there whether we go out there and go after them or we just sit here and let them hit us again. We tried the approach of minding our own business in WWII and look what happened to Pearl Harbor. Do you really want another wimpy guy in charge that is going to leave us defenseless? There are SO MANY countries and rogue idealists that would love to see every single one of you and your children wiped off the face of this map. Our country was founded on defending our freedom. We need to be ready to defend and not sitting here defenseless.

Obama is nothing more than hype. He is a college kid fad with no experience. The numerous Dems that I see on here saying that Clinton’s speech was brilliant just prove it. There is no way that you can honestly believe or prove that the Clinton’s support him when not even a month ago they were bashing him. You my friends are drinking a gallon jug of Kool-Aid.

Clinton was a great commander in chief. While Europe and UN were watching the genocide in Bosnia, with serbian concentration camps of bosnian muslims in Manjaca, Omarska and ethnic cleansing in Srebrenica, Clinton didnt wait for lazy Europe to stop the war in Bosnia and Kosovo, he did it himself by ordering to bomb Belgrade. What did Bush Jr. do during past 8 years, oh yeah we have now less liberties, terrible managed war in Iraq, more profits for rich americans, forclosures, enormous debt etc.

This year the choice is clear but our America is racist country and I dont think we are ready to have a black man as a president, we dont want to be represented by a black man in the world and thats the truth. No white man wants his daughter to go out with the black and vice versa.

My prediction - republicans will win and McCain will become the next president of USA.
I like Obama more than McCain but I think McCain is a good man who wants justice for everyone and he will become a good president.

That the United States does not match up to the Utopian fantasy Ms Obama invisionns for the world. It does not follow that America is a fault.
The world opinion of the United States is a direct result of the slanderous degrading rhetoric of the left.

For those that complain the Fox is not fair and balanced (Usually liberals) I might point out that this article is commentary. If you want liberal commentary, try reading any one of Fox’s liberal commentators (Susan Estrich).
It is obvious to me that liberals are so used to having a media that is biased towards the left that a fair and balanced media outlet is considered biased towards the right. If you are standing to the left of “fair and balanced” then you perceive “fair and balanced” to your right even when it is in the center.

S T E V E

You are so correct. Bill was arrogant when he was the governor of Arkansas. He hasn’t changed his spots. My dad was a yellow dog democrat and thought Bill could do no wrong. Unfortunately, he died just as poor and uneducated as he began life.

Bill Clinton is a very intelligent man but has very little moral character. Yes, I too think of sex when thinking of Bill, because he is notorious in our state for being a womanizer. A lot of people get dead around the Clinton’s also. Check the obits.

I am an independant who served in the military when BC was CIC. He was hated by his troops. Of course all of the gays loved him. Go figure.

I wonder why all of the democrats get so defensive when the facts are stated. Several bloggers have mentioned how smart or dumb someone is. Face it folks, at least the guys made it to the top unlike us.
It really is ok to agree to disagree.

My comments???
I`ve offered a couple of honest comments over the course of the past several weeks, :)…
(grin), when did ABC and/or the likes buy out FoxNews????
Hmmm, guess that the truth hurts, :)…

Hey, GERALD CARTER:

Apparently FOX is fair and balanced, because they posted what you submitted (see following):

Good day to you, sir.

To George about 9/11 happening on Bush’s watch. The 9/11 scheme was hatched on Bill Clintons watch. It was in the planning stages beginning in 1995. Get your facts right George.
Billy Slick was to busy playing with his thing to give a hoot about the national security of this country. And Billy Slick has the blood of close to 3,000 people on his hands. I will never forgive him for that either.

It wasn’t just that he lied, it was that he lied under oath to a grand jury. If they want to impeach Bush they should put him under oath ask him questions then prove that he was lying. As much as you might disagree with Bush’s decisions, he hasn’t done anything worthy of being impeached. One thing to keep in mind also, as much as George may have done wrong, he did a lot right as well. Most people are unable to see that because of their blind hatred for Bush. I didn’t vote for Bush, but I can at least respect the right things he did.

Here you go check out this newsweek article about it.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/151731

By the way when are McCain and Obama going to stop giving speeches with flowerly rhetoric and stop arguing over how many houses the other owns and start talking about what they’re going to do in detail. I’ve heard a lot of I’m going to make the world a better place, but have hear very little of HOW.

You ‘family-value’ Republicans are always looking for a boogie man on which to pin the blame for your woes. I know, because I’m very ashamed to admit, I used to be one. And like you, I blamed the “liberal” media, liberals and gays, promiscuity, etc for the decline of American economics. But then I became a journalist, a conservative journalist and was countless times accused of being a liberal by salt-of-the-earth Neocons, who wrote half-truths to promote my own political agenda. Mind you the agenda I was writing about was on a community level, not a national level. But still, I was absolutely AMAZED that someone could accuse me of being a liberal when I considered myself a conservative and when all I was really doing was reporting the facts as I gathered them.
That’s when I started to put it all together and figure out what Democrats have been shaking their heads about for years:
That Roe v. Wade remains in tact, despite a conservative court, despite the Republicans having control of the Congress (until 2006) and the presidency, it’s still legal. Seriously, why would they want to actually overturn Roe v. Wade when that one issue gives them free license to put a larger percentage of the tax burden on you, reward their cronies with enormous tax breaks and deregulation–which they tell you and me is “freedom.” Freedom for them (corporations) to have more control over you, is all it really is. Oh, they throw you a few crumbs to keep you satisfied and to keep you from asking any questions. They give you the “freedom” to own guns, and they give you the “freedom” to spend $800 a month on health insurance (for a young family of three) that only covers a percentage of the actual costs. It’s all freedom, right boys. Don’t ask what that freedom actually means. Just keep saying the words “freedom” and “patriot” over and over and over again. That’ll help you stomach $4 a gallon gasoline, the $800 you have to spend on health insurance, 75 million Americans who don’t have health insurance, the increasing gap between the poor and the rich, increasing costs, decreasing wages. Keep saying the words “freedom” and “patriot.”
Meanwhile, those Republicans will keep saying another four words: “Suckers. Gets ‘em everytime.”

Well said, Cal, and oh so true! When some of the people in this comment section start slamming Fox News, that’s when I know that the truth hurts.

At least Clinton could speak without a telepromptor and cue cards and without three days’ practice. Or is this the Change the Democrat party speaks of? Not being able to think on one’s feet? Yep, that’s Obama. Turning to his wife first for presidential counsel? Well, we’ve had that before. Supporting terrorists? Well, in a way we’ve had that before, too, in using police actions to punish terrorist actions. But as for Obama’s relationship with Ayers (a true White House bomber, docs at FBI http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/weather.htm). Does Change me that Congress will actually work? Or is Obama “in bed” with Pelosi and Reid to keep up the standstill while their constituents pull out their hairs waiting for someone to work for their pay? I made the mistake once of voting for “Change” (Carter) and will never make that mistake again. People HAVE died for the LACK OF ACTION by both Carter and Clinton.

I think there is a much bigger plan here. I don’t think most people applying common sense to both Bill and Hillary’s speech believe that they are sincere.

How can anyone change their opinion 180 degrees in a few weeks with no change having occurred in Obama?

It is about Hillary 2012 - and for that to happen Obama needs to lose. Bill Clinton has said many times that the American people as a voting entity are much smarter than the politicians give them credit for.

In this case he is not only correct - he and Hillary are counting on it!

That’s funny.. all republican’s can say about Clinton is he lied about having sex. When Republican’s have a sex scandal it involves lying about gay sex in men’s restrooms! Total hypocrisy. Yes, Bill Clinton was impeached, but W, Cheney and the rest should be in prison for war crimes. NO ONE DIED WHEN BILL CLINTON LIED. Get a little perspective please!!!
======================================
Danielle - you need to be set straight on something here. President Bush didn’t lie, he acted on the intelligence he was given. And if that intelligence was WRONG, then you need to put the blame where it really belongs, on President Clinton. He was the one gutted the military, and he gutted the CIA. It’s no surprise that the intelligence was inaccurate, as the intelligence-gathering arm of the US was decimated by it’s former President. So, attribute those deaths, at least in part, to Bill Clinton.

Clinton was obsessed with Osama Bin Laden.. lobbed cruise missles at the guy.. the Republicans dismissed that as waving the Dog.. Just a distraction from Monica ,they said..Remember that? Then the Cole happened; just 1 month before George Bush was elected. The CIA and FBI didn’t come to a conclusion as to who did it till right AFTER Bush took office. Did Bush do anything? He couldn’t have cared less! to busy spying on Americans.looking for Timothy McVay types. Remember the telecom data mining controversy? and poking N. Korea with a pointy stick so he would have a rationale for his mini Star wars system. Bin Laden wasn’t even on this radar screen till after 9/11.. and then as a phoney excuse to go into Iraq… Bin Laden? ” I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him…..I truly am not that concerned about him”

NO ONE DIED WHEN BILL CLINTON LIED. Get a little perspective please!!!

It appears that MOST Democrats, especially Clinton Lovers, forget about a little event in a city called Mogadishu…… Can you say “Black Hawk Down”? If I remember correctly, eighteen (18) BRAVE American soldiers died and 73 were wounded. Before you go and make ignorant statements like that, please check your facts.

You are right on Mr Thomas! Well said! …Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the downturn in our country ever since the d’crats and “speaker of the house” NP took over??? Hmmm…Yeah, right, let’s put a d’crat pres. on top of all that mess and really take the country down a few more pegs.

McCain 08

The radical conservatives who call themselves patriotic should be ashamed of themselves. They will always find something negative to say. Clinton did a great job on his speech last night and he was a great president. The radical conservatives are now dragging President Ronald Reagan through the mud by attaching themselves to him. Reagan was also a great president and a great conservative. This new breed of radical conservatism is sad and a bit frightening. They remind me of radical Muslims of a different color. Reagan would be ashamed of them.

The most unbeleivable thing I saw and heard last night was Pres. Clinton’s argument for electing an unexperienced Senator as President of our beloved nation. Placing himself as an example and argument for a Deja-vu with Obama, made me realize that the liberal Democrats suffer from chronic, disabling amnesia. It only takes an informed person to remember Clinton as a Commander in Chief during his tenure: How about Somalia, Kosovo, the attack to the US Embassy, the attack to the US Marines barracks, the attack on the USS Cole, the first attack to the Twin Towers in NY, and the fact that he could have captured OBL on two different ocassions and Al Quada trained and grew under his watch, are just a few samples of his incompetence, which added to the fact that he lied under oath and was impeached are plenty enough arguments to say thank you but no thank you, we don’t need another inexperienced liberal running our country and risking our national security beyond the limits of the Cinton administration.

Amen!
I haven’t had time to read all the comments in response to your blog, however I personally hope America also remembers these facts:
Contrary to both the Clinton’s statements in their speeches last night, to wit “America can’t stand 8 more years of Bush,” then commencing implicating Pres. Bushs’ administration, of which they apparently include Sen. McCain, has been and continues to send our jobs abroad, causing unprescidented unimployment in the process — remember that it was “oh no Mr. Bill” who signed NAFTA… not Pres. Bush;
That the wars the Clinton’s so demonstratively oppose with words, and literaly with their body language, were more or less begun during “oh no Mr. Bill” ’s” presidency, but all he could and would muster as you so well stated, were a few not so well aimed rockets at not so important targets, then in addition Mrs. NY Sen. also voted “FOR” the invasion after the attacks on America in 2001;
That the combined speeches from “oh no Mr. Bill” and Mrs. NY Sen., and the entire DNC in general for that matter… seemed far more focused on the Clintons than on the Democratic party, or on “Barack America” for President, (according to our next President Biden, as introduced by Obama).
Please!!! REMEMBER… History proves America has a very short memory.
America needs and deserves a person of good moral character, who knows what he believes, reacts to those beliefs, upholds the Constitution, and defends America in this time of trial and tribulation.
By the way… I agree with Sen. McCain. Life begins at conception. Not because I said, but because God said. A person of Barack America’s inteligence knows this from Sunday school… that is, if he actually went, as he said he has.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Emily,

I hear you about (and respect) your comment on not throwing stones. But regarding extra-marital affairs, there’s simply no comparison between Clinton, the “Serial Philanderer”, and any would-be Congressman (woman?) having AN affair. And the others weren’t sitting presidents, either (except perhaps JFK, Clinton’s hero).

It’s funny how George Bush and the Republicans get blamed for the failures of a Democratically-controlled Congress. How can you blame Bush and concervatives when it is Democrats that make the decisions and pass laws. It happened on his watch, but it was because of a Congress that sat by and did absolutely nothing. Liberals want to say that George Bush was the worst President ever, but the Democratically-controlled Congress has an approval rating that is usually 8-10 percentage points LOWER than the “worst President in history”. I urge everyone, regardless of who you support, to make a list of the top five most important issues that you want someone in office to affect. Then research who the better representative is to improve those areas, based on their records and their PLANS, not glorified, feel-good speeches. If you think Obama, or any Liberal is good for your situation, and more importantly, for the direction of the nation, you are sadly misguided, or you want a handout. Think about how much damage YOUR Congress has done before you vote to give them even more power.

Excellent article. I wonder what high-ranking positions the Clintons have secured for themselves in
the potential Obama Administration as part of “the deal”? Hopefully, we’ll never know.

McCain didn’t lie about his affair. Clinton did, even under oath. Clinton had multiple affairs and Hillary led the program to destroy the credibility of the women who accused Bill. The only good thing about Obama is that he beat these phonies. Obama himself is an empty suit. The Clintons really want him to lose so Hillary will be the candidate in 2012.
democRats (spelling intended) will do anything to gain power, even accepting and adoring a low life like Bill Clinton.

BUBBA CLINTON IS A COMPLETE LOSER.TODAY THERE WILL BE AN ESTIMATED 80,000 STUPID PEOPLE LISTENING TO “ONE” IDIOT.WHAT A JOKE THOSE DUMMYCRATS ARE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You have written what I was shouting at the TV last night as I watched Slick Willy’s speech.

The ignorance within the Pepsi Center last night was palpable.
