oh wait, you are trying to make a correlation aren't you?

Christ, when I saw the headline, I thought we had a story of her being a prostitute, and Obammy her pimp. Carry on.

8 million?

That is way behind what McSame has done.

Just say Obama on O'Rielly, looked like a draw. Good to see him stand up to his critics face to face.

$10 million in 24 hours? Holy crap. Isn't that what McBush raised in all of July?

Has anyone reading this, noticed how the people who are so joyful about the money increase to Nobama's stash, are validating an old Republican Mantra? The one that says the Dems waste money? The Dems have never understood, that you can't solve a problem, by throwing money at it. If you pay one dollar for a pigs ear or if you pay one million dollars for a pigs ear, it will still be a pigs ear.

Hunny without Money You might as well be spinning Your wheels cause You ain't going nowhere fast. Hell it even takes money to spin your wheels hunny cause gas is through the roof) Money talks and Bullshit walks. Going to take lots of money to fix Dubya's fuck ups. Or do You have some magic fairy dust that You could sprinkle on every fuck up and it magically be fixed??

Can't argue with you there. Money does make things happen. However in this case, I hope you understand you are purchasing a candidate of inferior quality. But damn he's got good teeth.

I just found out where all that extra dough came from:

I'd rather trust Obama to Lead this great Country of ours than the sad sacks on the Right Wingers of Today. He has worked Himself up from the bottom like You are supposed to in theis great Country of ours. He knows the value of hard work. Does John McCain?? Not so much.

Larry

Per 51773: "If you pay one dollar for a pigs ear or if you pay one million dollars for a pigs ear, it will still be a pigs ear."

I'd listen to this man. He is speaking from personal experience.

What hard work has he done?
Compared to McCain?

well, he wasnt a pow so i guess you got us on that one.

obama and Mccain are both opportunists.
being a prisoner of war does not make you a hero. If so, then you must include every citizen that has ever been wrongly convicted in this country and served hard time. McCain got shot down bombing people, many of whom were women and children, and had his ass tasked for that. He didnt seem to mind supporting killing all those iraqi civilians, over false cause. He's still wrestling with the fact that he LOST in vietnam. And you want to give control over nuclear weapons to this dishonorable man.
Then you have obama, claiming to be black/african-american.
But the fact is, he is mulato, and that carries a more negative conotation than being black in this nation. But that wouldnt get the same recognition as being black and running for president. Harvard law school graduates have done more harm to this nation than any terrorist. Lots of 'em in the game.

Both have sworn allegience to Isreal, a crime under the very constitution they claim to uphold, defend and protect. A terrorist state at that. Unless you call yourself a christian or jew.

Both will bring more war and misery upon this nation and its people. Neither trusts the people they claim they want to represent. As for experience to lead this nation, I see no more qualification than any other citizen, and in many instances, far less than most.

None of the above.

8 million?

That is way behind what McSame has done.

bullshit.

I hope you understand you are purchasing a candidate of inferior quality.

Versus, say, an old broken down candidate who can't point to any accomplishment since he ran out of confessions in Hanoi? Or a nobody who put the date in candidate?

In the next 60 days, Palin will deliver more than 8 million to Obama. She'll deliver the WH.

Palin rocks. She is a freethinker and has good ideals. McCain-Palin '08!

And Larry-welcome back.

Hedge betting with intent of hatred

And in case someone here still finds a DEMO inarticulate, a friend sent:

Greatest Bush Speech Ever!
Greatest Bush Speech Ever!
2008 YouTube, LLC

If that's no link, you're - um - uh - on you own. herm

"And we fully expect John McCain's attacks tonight to help us make our grass-roots organization even stronger."

Gimme your money!!! Let's show them! Donate now! Money, money, money!!

And thus the reason why I donate to neither party

LIBS ARE SCARED...................

"Palin rocks. She is a freethinker and has good ideals. "

What might those ideals be?

Lying right off the bat about being against the bridge to nowhere?

Being "against' earmarks and pork but yet funneling millions into her small town?

Saying she has lowered taxes when Alaska does not have a state income tax or sales tax?

Being against sex education and contraception and programs to help unwed mothers, yet having a knocked up (by a dropout) teenage daughter? You people want to give her a fucking cookie for that.

What about deciding (or, through lack of birth control) to have a baby in her forties, when it's a much higher risk to have a birth defect? What, four kids aren't enough? Still too many cutsie yuppie names to go?

Spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a program to shoot wolves from helicopters, but finding it utterly ineffective?

Those kinds of "ideals"?

She's an empty skirt, baby.

Yes Cato, I mean, Cabo, we ARE scared; scared of the outcome of another Bush term...which is exactly what you are rooting for. Sucker.

"LIBS ARE SCARED..................."
No not at all

but based on DR comments:
party of Hope Democrats
party of Hate Republicans

SHIT

I hope to hate everybody.

utterly and completely false.

The glorification of the near complete lack of experience Obama has by many on this board is humorous.

Until I read the utter disdain these same mental midgets espouse for a women that has more qualifacations for the job Obama is seeking...but is actually seeking the #2 job.

Does this hypcrisy not register? Anywhere?

WHich part is it? Becuase she is a republican or becuase she is a woman that makes you hate her so much?

It can only be one of the two.

I keep hearing from many on here about how she's vetted in foreign policy because she lived near Russia.

Can anyone tell me how that works?

What part of her job as Gov, or what action did she take that can clearly show that living near Russia really helped her gain ANY experience in foreign policy?

Yes, she was the governor, but WHAT did she do that shows the American people that she's vetted on foreign policy. Did she make policy decisions regarding Russia while Governor?

Anyone? Serious question. If you can give a real answer, I'll listen.

This is for all you unevolved humans with whom I share the earth. Where has experience gotten us thus far? What is experience? An angry, ill tempered war vet? A hostile "pitbull","barracuda", gun slinging pre-menapausal woman? Or do we want to fix our bridges that we have burned with that vile attitude of mcbush/mcshame. Maybe we should all be as willing to be stewards of our community for as many years as Barack has, because we all know that Sarah has put in only a fraction of that time.
We need a different route soon!!! This map is no longer working and more of the same will surely sink our magnificent country. We can't afford to listen to the rhetoric of "no experience". They said the same of Kennedy and Clinton. It's not an arguement.
One last note, Barack is neither black nor white. He belongs to neither party! No one can claim him. That is what is so great. He is in between, neutral, and balanced.

It's called Fear

Plain and Simple, so cheap talk and rhetoric are all nullified by this simple fact, they are scared and MUST do something to stop her.

Where's the popcorn, this is a great show.

Where is the media on Palins pastor problem?

Oh right, Palin was the best possible choice of all the Republican female possibilites to lead America in the event that McCan't fills up his depends and drowns in his own beliefs.

Go wave the flag for the other braindead NeoCons to join the fight on the bridge to nowhere. You neocons don't give a flying F about morals, abortion, gay marriage, none of it. It's all a show to get the fundies into the voting booths, just like with your rocket scientist Bushy.

Like any of you really stand behind those principles. Moral superiority and smaller government. The Kool-Aid doesn't go down as easily as it used to.

Thank god Gustav is over, y'all can burn your American Hats and put on your Republi-con Hats. That was a cute show. Cindy all crippled up there leading the charge, how humiliating for her. She probably bummed a ciggie from Laura and popped a few donor pills in the back alley.

The Palin spin is in the hopes that the Dems and the public get all caught up in it and the GOP waltzes into the whitehouse. Forget about it.

Unemployment, Failed War, Failed Education System, Scandals that make the Clintons look like kindergarten, Military stretched thin, Unaccountable funds for Iraq, Executive over powering, Rule of law ignored, etc.
These are the GOP's Platform.

These are the GOP's Platform.

As if the Democrats are saints. Democrat or Republican. Choose your poison.

Palin rocks. She is a freethinker and has good ideals. McCain-Palin '08!

51773:
McCain has been in the Senate 26 years. How has he changed Washington? His campaign ridiculed Obama's message of change and now, at long last at the RNC McCain says HE is the agent of change. That's laughable. And then he chooses a VP that he met only once and couldn't even tell an interviewer anything about the position's responsibilities.

Why don't we call it like it is? MCain's too old, too much of a short fuse, and has cynically capitulated ot every RNC far-right element that in 2000 he claimed to reject.

Vote for him if you want, but a man who does a 180 on every major issue, who is too old, and who has an incompetent VP is not getting my vote.

"Palin rocks. She is a freethinker and has good ideals. McCain-Palin '08!"
#21 | Posted by Unclesam at 2008-09-05 06:46 PM |

"Freethinker"...

Is that what the RNC calls denial of global warming?
Or is that what you call the teaching of creationism in schools?
Or maybe that's what you call it when someone belonged to a secessionist group.
Or maybe it's what you label a woman who agrees that abstinence should be the only birth control mentioned in schools while hiding a pregnant daughter!

The word doesn't mean what you think it means.

Sam--calm down--

Sarah agrees that there is some global warming going on but that it is not man made.

Lots scientists would agree with her.

ID in schools--so what

She did not belong to a secessionist group--

As for abstinence--it's 100% when used properly--she disagrees with passing out condoms at schools to school children.

There are tens of millions who agree with that.

"She is a freethinker and has good ideals"

Hahahahaha. Sarah the Savior a freethinker? That bible thumping bumpkin from Mooseville? Give me a break.

The 8 mill came from all those POOR liberals on Wall Street!

Murphy--
Exactly WHO is passing out condoms to schoolchildren?
And pardon my laughing at your 100% "birth control method." That's workable in theory only.

"Intelligent Design"--you can't really be seriously using that phrase. As a Christian, I know exactly what that is...a code word to teach the bible in schools.

as for global warming, yes a lot of scientists agree with her. A lot more disagree with her.

yous lefty assclowns never cease to show your true selves. V.P. Sarah Palin has you running scared, she is more qualified to be president than the assclown you idiots puked up to run. He is nothing more than another leftwing token. No skills at all, can't speak or give a speech without someone else writing it, or telling him what to say, and has to have a telepromter tied to his ass.Uh,eh,ummm, errr,a ,e ,i ,o ,u.
Uhhh, err, ah, with a, uhh, unemployment rate of ahh, uhhh, 6.1%, Americans, uhhh, ahhh, may be ahhh, uhhhh errr, right, that ahhh we should send the ahhh,uuhhh errr fucking blood sucking 38 million illegal aliens packing, that will, uhhh , aaahh, err, thurp!, provide jobs for those worthless leftwing unemployeed that would rather be on the uhhh, errr, dole than work.
And uhhh, ahhh, errr, hmmm, ummm,if we had started drilling at uhhhh ANWR when the right wing wanted to , and drill off the shore of Florida we would'nt be in the uhhh, ahhh, ummm,errr in this energy crisis today.

Ozzie:
No, the 8 Million came from people just like me. I live in Texas, not Wall Street, and I gave $100 the morning after her speech. I live in a rental house and am squarely on the median income.

But don't let me stop you from your usual bullshitting.

rightnut

lolololololololollol nice..

Obama was a community organizer..... Wow, thats impressive..

"In terms of concrete accomplishments, Obama and hundreds of other organizers-- were not able to transform the South Side neighborhoods or bring in new industries to provide jobs."

Great change... very inspirational....

It's great to see that Sarah inspires both sides of the aisle. ;o)

Sam--you should read your own link on the AIP flap.
They showed her registration forms being Repub.

Murphy,
I see, she wasn't REGISTERED as a secessionist, so it doesn't count, right?

"Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence party (AIP) before becoming an elected Republican official, according to party members, and recorded a video message for the AIP convention this year."
Actions speak louder than voter registration, don't they?

and, I didn't mention her husband's involvement in the secessionist party, but thanks for that plug.

As for union involvement...I'm not in a Union. Not sure where you're going with that.

So Palin's helped benefit both sides. What's the problem then? I bet if Hillary was the VP instead of Biden we'd also have seen a nice bump in both sides' fundraising.

This has to be one of the MOST bogus headlines ever on The Retort.

FIRST - Palin's selection raised 10 Million bucks for McCain in less than 20 hours when she was announced as his VP

SECOND - Of course there will be a backlash by the left wing to her selection

THIRD - NOBama has to raise a huge amount of money after lying to the voters by saying he would not accept donations from special interests and instead would accept public financing of his campaign. So he is in the hole by $89 Million because that is how much McCain will receive without having to lift a finger

FOURTH - NOBama has already started out in a HUGE financial hole since he is spending like a drunken sailor on the assumption that the Koolade drinkers will keep filling his coffers with their money... wonder who will be paying his deficit when he loses the election?

FIFTH - There is no way to compare donations to NOBama's campaign to McCain since the rule of accepting public financing of your campaign is that you can't accept private donations so you are comparing apples to oranges...

So keep on putting up these bogus headlines. They are good for laughs.
Next month I expect the headline to be that NOBama gets X million in contributions while McCain gets NONE - not telling people that he can't get donations since his campaign is publicly financed....

Palin's a pop star with no substance. The buzz will fade fast.

Libslayer says:
"In terms of concrete accomplishments, Obama and hundreds of other organizers-- were not able to transform the South Side neighborhoods or bring in new industries to provide jobs."

But Libslayer, with the new mapping available on the Internet you can take a virtual stroll down the streets of any major city in America.

The Koolade drinkers haven't bothered to do so since they might find that when they stroll through the neighborhoods of NOBama's Illinois State Senate district that the former buildings owned by his close friends Antoin Rezko (soon to be the guest of the Federal Penal System) and Allison Davis (NOBama's former boss) whom he helped to borrow $43 million of taxpayer money to buy those buildings they would find:
-Boarded up buildings
-Empty Lots
-Playgrounds
Everything but the apartment buildings these men were supposed to buy and refurbish.

Of course having grown up in Chicago, I have seen them up close and personal since I used to visit his Senate District often when going to the hospital where his wife is now a Vice President (a position she was promoted to immediately AFTER he was sworn in as US Senator).

The same hospital that has been charged with "patient dumping" by the Health and Human Services Department. Michelle is responsible for community services so she is directly responsible for this patient dumping.

But that is something she is used to, having closed plants and put people out of work with her votes as a board member of a food company.

Makes me laugh when NOBama is scrambling all over Ohio and Penn telling people about how the Republicans are putting them out of their jobs when his wife is doing exactly that, as well as tossing sick people out of her "Not For Profit" hospital that ONLY made $240 MILLION in profits last year... but they DID spend over $12 million for collection agencies to hound these poor, sick mostly Black people.

And while NOBama is criticizing Palin about earmarks, he forget to mention his earmarks such as $1 MILLION for a new portico for HIS WIFE's HOSPITAL... must have slipped his mind I guess...

Vote NOBama/NOBiden in 2008 and put everyone out of their homes, work and the hospital!

And pardon my laughing at your 100% "birth control method." That's workable in theory only.

It is a theory that you can still get pregnant while abstaining from sex?

No, it really works.

Scrumplet,

Palin is a Rock Star and NOBama is what?
A "Community Organizer"....
and just what has he EVER done? Seriously, name something substantial that he has ever done besides help his Slumlord buddies Rezko and Davis steak $43 MILLION of taxpayer's money....

Earmarked ONE MILLION Dollars for a new portico for his wife's hospital (that had made $240 million in profits last year)? Don't you think they could afford to pay for their own portico?

Have you ever been in that hospital? I have. It is like the Ritz hotel with marble corridors, fine woods and an atrium that belongs in a Las Vegas Hotel, not a hospital.

I can understand why they dump poor patients from their hospital. it takes a lot of money to maintain that kind of elegance.

NOBama's wife has an office bigger than the CEO of my former employer, who owned a Billion Dollar Corporation! She also has a bigger staff than he had as well.

Of course you don't believe me but see for yourself. Just go to the University of Chicago Medical Center site and see it with your own eyes.

Of course you won't, because fantasy is far more enjoyable than reality.

Obama's a rock star, Palin's a no-hit wonder.

Let's see, Obama...

President of the Harvard Law Review. Civil rights attorney. United States Senator. Community Organizer. Fought the Death Penalty. Sponsored a bill to bring health insurance to 150,000 children, including 70,000 uninsured children. Won the respect of generals and excited a great deal of younger voters about politics.
