    To all the viewers on this Newsweek Board, especially Republicans, and Independents -

    Here???s a one day collection of recent reprehensible demented stalking rants from HarleyisHere (aka hardlyherenorthere) to which I refer in my standard dismissal to him:

    It appears as though the Obama camp supporters on this website consider this to be acceptable blogging practice by one of their kind.

    Is there a psychiatrist viewing these blogs who would be capable of diagnosing and treating that mentally inhibited individual?

    Senior Dems Concerned Over McCain Gains
    The Hill by Alexander Bolton Aug. 25, 2008

    DENVER ??? Senior Democratic politicians are signaling concern about Sen. Barack Obama???s (Ill.) slip in the polls and are urging him to regain his edge against GOP rival Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

    Rep. John Dingell (Mich.), the longest-serving House Democrat, said Obama must realize the primary season is behind him and Republicans will ???run a very rough campaign against him.???

    Dingell???s critique comes in the wake of polls showing that McCain has gained ground on Obama since the Democratic senator left the campaign trail for a family vacation in Hawaii. A CNN poll released Monday showed McCain and Obama in a dead heat.

    ???The campaign has not yet taken off,??? said Dingell in a telephone interview. ???He???s got to address things that go into a presidential campaign as opposed to a primary campaign. They???re very different campaigns.???

    Even Obama???s allies, including Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the co-chairman of Obama???s campaign, acknowledge McCain has gained ground. Durbin said Obama???s absence from the news cycle during his Hawaii vacation, combined with Russia???s invasion of Georgia, gave McCain a chance to dominate the race over the last 10 days.

    ???We realize over the last week or 10 days that John McCain has had a 12-0 run in this basketball game,??? said Durbin, who hastened to add: ???We know the momentum can shift.

    ???My observation is, and I talked a little bit about it with Barack after [his] tour overseas with dramatic positive results, that we expected an evening of the playing field,??? he said.

    Dingell said Obama can regain momentum if he addresses substantive issues such as a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, rebuilding of the nation???s roads and infrastructure, and the lack of health insurance for an estimated 47 million Americans, including 1 million in Michigan.

    Dingell???s words carry weight because of his seniority in the House and his knowledge of Michigan politics. The AFL-CIO, an important ally of the Democratic Party, has identified Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania as the three most important battleground states of the campaign.

    Durbin said Obama???s family vacation was ???well-deserved,??? but blamed Russia???s invasion of Georgia for focused media attention on McCain???s national security credentials. McCain is a former prisoner of war and senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

    ???All those things came together in a moment giving McCain the field ??? I mean, a stronger position than he might have otherwise have had,??? Durbin said.

    Hillary supporters are stupid. They don't realize that Hillary will become Secretary of State. That is what she wants. It is a much powerful position then VP. Go ahead Hillary supporters and don't vote for McCain.
    Obama will make an announcement on Thur. that he wants Hillary as his Secretary of State.

        If they're voting for McCain in hopes of 2012 - they're not that bright. She will not win then either. What lost the election in 2008, will still be there in 2012. And, we'll have four more years heading downward.

        • Posted By: News and Notes @ 08/25/2008 12:28:06 PM

          The post I was responding to said "Hillary supporters are stupid", without reference to whom they will vote in November. I cannot understand why Obama supporters CONTINUE to trash Hillary supporters. Many Hillary supporters are concerned about Obama's lack of experience on a national scale, and insulting them will not help.

    Hillary Gets Stiffed
    Politico Mike Allen Aug. 22, 2008

    There???s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate ??? his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

    But it???s not for the reason you think.

    Obama has often said, most recently on NBC???s ???Meet the Press??? on July 27, that Clinton ???would be on anybody???s short list.???

    But apparently not his.

    ???She was never vetted,??? a Democratic official reported. ???She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she???d take it????

    The official also said Clinton never met with Obama???s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.

    And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.

    The Clintons also were not asked about donors to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.

        Generally I respect my elders, unless they give me cause to forgo that respect..

        Although I am not a Hillary supporter, I notice that your attempt at humour - "POOR HILLARY, SHE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO USE HER SELF SATISFACTION TOY" - is quite similar to some of the milder derogatory rants which are characteristic of hardlyherenorthere.

        I have noticed that you do converse with him.
        Hopefully both of you are not related, and hopefully you're not his father.

      Don't you think that she could be offered a cabinet position or possible supreme court judge nomination? Hillary may be down for the moment, but she is far from out. We don't know what possible offers that Obama offered her that nobody in the publice knows. I.E. I wont ask you to be VP, however I will offer you whatever. How much do you really think the public knows about dealings behind close doors with these types of issues?

      • Posted By: Americansforabetterusa @ 08/24/2008 4:29:23 AM

        I think Hillary may wait until all the Drama dies down no matter who is elected. Anything she does now even running for reelection will draw attention to hers and Bills finances and that I think they are wondering how they will cover her dept from this run of the Presidency. Any Cabinet job or Judgeship will be a long drawn out process simply by her name. It would overshadow anything that Obahma would be doing in his presidency if elected and Biden would be appointed the point man to handle the navigation, where he would likely open his mouth and again say the wrong thing. I'm not sure she would ever pass the hearings before she gives up or they find reasons for her not to be confirmed. She could be put in as White House Press Secretary, she is pretty good at spinning the news.

    Somewhere buried in all these blogs is the fact that that moveon.org and George Soros own the Democratic party. George as a billionares who knows how to get these millions of dollars to Obama in small amounts through thousands of individuals. This is the scariest part of the whole election that people forget about since George is even a further left Socilaist/ progressive than Obama.

      base9ba -

      My previously expressed comment may possibly have prompted you to post your observation that ???Somewhere buried in all these blogs is the fact that that moveon.org and George Soros own the Democratic party.???

      Welcome to this one topic board on the Newsweek website - hopefully you will ardently and factually post on this specific board, and also the numerous other ones.

      Several of us, individually and collectively, have assumed the daunting task of striving to educate the masses, prompting others to dispel biased, misleading, and false obamabot talking points, and inviting intelligent and hopefully respectful discourse regarding the various issues of this election campaign.

      If you choose to participate in this endeavour, expect that others, particularly the radical segment of the obamabot faction, will do their darnest to target and harass you in an attempt to intimidate you to silence your right to free speech.

      I suspect that you have done a few internet searches on George Soros and moveon.org - I invite other bloggers and viewers to do likewise, and to thereby discover the covert modus operandi whereby those nefarious entities attempt to control what is reported by the mainstream news organizations as ???news.???

      Yes, George Soros is definitely adept at trying to subvert the government and the population into fostering his Machiavellian Orwellian system of government.

      Hopefully you will be willing to ???enter the fray??? to help expose the sinister tactics of both George Soros and moveon.org.

      Are you willing and ready to assume that objective?
      Either way, we would welcome your participation!

        What a pompous ass. You don't educate, you insult those who disagree. You don't talk facts or issues because if you did, you would compare, contrast and analyze. You assume that your mission is to educate? Start at home. My only memory of you is picking on girls then asking your "students" to support your crass, base, useless meanderings about how bad Obama supporters are.

          Here's a prime example of one of the rabid pack - as you can see, it sure didn't take him long to snap.


          AskPlus -

          Regarding your comment - "What a pompous ass." I realize that you are - you wear that description well!
          Maybe you would care to change one letter of your screen name to reflect that propensity of yours.

          Your very obvious rant demonstrates that you are the one who doesn't educate, and that you insult those with whom you disagree.

          I'll leave it up to the other viewers and posters to form their own opinions as to whether I or you "don't talk facts or issues because if you did, you would compare, contrast and analyze."

          Yes, my "mission is to educate" - even you!
          But you are demonstrating that you are incorrigible and snarky at times, although that doesn't deter me.

          With regard to your allegations - "My only memory of you is picking on girls then asking your "students" to support your crass, base, useless meanderings about how bad Obama supporters are."

          Maybe your memory is, well let's just say, less than accurate on many occasions.
          Would you care to provide any verifiable facts to support those contentions?

          We're patiently waiting!

      CHANGE! UNITY! NO OLD WASHINGTON POLITICS!

      Right. Just like everything else - Barry lies. Biden's the SIXTH senior most Senator in Washington. 35 years. Longer than either Clinton, Bush, McCain or Chaney. It's a complete and utter farce - just like barry's "judgment" on Iraq. And where did Biden stand on Iraq? He voted YES. And just how many meetings did Barry/biden have on Afghanistan? This election is a farce.

      Name me one person (especially a woman of any color) who would be the Democratic nominee with Barry's resume. I'll check back.

    So HOWARD it finally dawned on you that PUMAs are real? People screaming behind you that Barnicle, Barbie Boxer and chill up my leg Mathews are ridiculing. And will you tell CHUCK TODD to stop telling "Hillary" to rein in her supporters? It's not her responsibility. Barry won, right? It's his job and his alone. Name me one candidate who got 18 Million votes and a differential of at most 40K in the popular vote who was terrorized for not endorsing the other candidate on the same night they won their last primary? How much did Teddy Kennedy campaign for Carter before OR AFTER the convention? And how many delegates behind was he? 700? Did he have to fight to get his name in roll call? He didn't even shake Carter's hand. And the more the MSM MSNBC continues to denigrate Sen Clinton the more her supporters will move away from Barry. Not necessarily to McCain. Sen Clinton will be written in on the ballot. The issues that the DNC were relying on are not more important than respect for the former First Lady and President of two terms. And tell barbie that running for president is a lot different than anything she has run for and lost.

    Obama's pick of Joe Biden now opens the door for Mitt Romney as McCain's VP choice. An extremely smart, successful self-made but humble man, also given to public service. He's a great debater with a steel trap mind, an economics whiz who dresses sharp and looks far younger than Biden. A man with real family values, not for show.

        Whenever I see Romney I see GENIUS. He has amassed wealth between $190 and $250 MILLION. He was smarter than the moron liberals in MA and was elected Governor there. He is genius at economic issues and turned the 2002 Olympic Winter games around. When he was hired it was $379 MILLION short of its revenue benchmarks. Not only did they go through without a HITCH and a huge shortfall initially the games actually ended up making a $100 MILLION profit!

        Obama is an idiot, I fully believe that even most Democrats know he isn't 1 / 10th the man Romney is, Obama hasn't accomplished ANYTHING! Let Mc Cain and Romney turn this country around, keep inflation and interest rates low, balance the budget and if Romney has anything to do with it we may have a SURPLUS WITHOUT raising taxes through something called GROWTH.

        Just wait your time Democrats, with all the poor people in this country reproducing at ALARMING rates you will have your majorities in 8 to 12 years and THEN can ruin America.

        • Posted By: News and Notes @ 08/25/2008 3:18:25 PM

          Romney campaigned one way, and governed the opposite, all for his own political expediency. His position on issues always considers himself first. A total chamelion. When the going got tough at Bain Capital, he went and laid off tons of people so he could prosper. He is the world's biggest phony. McCain can't stand him. He can't just lay off all of the American work force to his own benefit. McCain wouldn't get a single independent of Democrat to vote for him if he selects Romney. He might appease the radical right wing, but Romney would ensure an Obama victory.

        • Posted By: RO in Reno @ 08/25/2008 2:44:04 PM

          Romney calls himself a "Venture Capitalist"
          The fact is he like many others including GHW Bush, made money by destroying American Business's
          Taking over profitable companies because they had a positive net worth, bleeding them of cash and then breaking up the company selling the parts off or declaring bankruptcy, a vast number of smaller profitable companies have disappeared along with the jobs they produced over the last 30 years.
          Hardly the kind of activity that says he loves America, and we already have had enough of Vice Presidents who love money over all else.

    Obama camp downplays Clinton backers at convention
    MyWay by Darlene Superville Aug 25, 2008

    DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama's campaign dismissed concerns about the impact of die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton on the choreographed show of unity Democrats were opening Monday at their nominating convention.

    Opening night at the Pepsi Center, the main venue for the four-day Democratic National Convention, aimed to tell the Illinois senator's personal story to the millions of voters nationwide who will begin tuning in to the presidential campaign. Obama's wife, Michelle, was the evening's keynote speaker.

    An emotional highlight was expected to come with a video tribute to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The liberal stalwart was diagnosed in May with a malignant brain tumor and has had surgery and a six-week course of chemotherapy and radiation.

    Behind the scenes, however, polls showing significant Clinton support still being denied to Obama and pro-Clinton demonstrations at offsite venues were creating a different kind of anticipation. Clinton has backed Obama and was scheduled to speak Tuesday night.

    "There are a lot of delegates here who had passionate choices in an extended primary season," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Today" on NBC. "We feel confidant that if we can demonstrate a record of change, a record of vision ... a team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden can convince Democrats, Republicans and independents to support a ticket of change in November."

    Republican candidate John McCain tried to widen any schism remaining between primary-season rivals with a TV ad featuring a Clinton supporter who now backs McCain over Obama.

    "She had the experience and judgment to be president," says Debra Bartoshevich, identified by the McCain campaign as a former Clinton delegate. Of McCain, she says: "I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really!"

    • Posted By: AskPlus @ 08/25/2008 12:07:17 PM

      How come the feigned intellect/backward insulter posted this? Is there a point? Are you implying that those who would vote for Ms. Clinton's and her beliefs, which are 180 degrees out of phase with Mr. McCain beliefs, are smarter for voting against every thing they stood for? Are they not being over-emotional and hurting themselves? I still can't see: "Well we'll take four years of Mr. McCain, then we'll get 2012 for Ms. Clinton - then she'll clean up the bigger mess" attitude. Chances are, she won't win then either. I'm pretty sure someone will bring up the sniper, and remind her of the 17 dead bodies in her wake. And if Mr. Clinton doesn't keep his mouth shut and his pants on - she'll spiral out of control like she did this election. An election she lost on her own.

      • Posted By: News and Notes @ 08/25/2008 12:13:29 PM

        I don't believe many Hillary supporters will go to McCain, most will probably unenthusiastically go for Obama. However, your insulting Hillary with the sniper comment is every bit as divisive and insulting as the comment your responded to

        • Posted By: AskPlus @ 08/25/2008 12:33:26 PM

          How could that be an insult? I did not say it she did. I, unlike other ex-Clinton supporters still think she would make the best President. I, unlike most ex-supporters was mortified when she started the attack campaign - unlike her husband who preached "high road" from a bus. I, unlike most ex-'s, just wished her husband would have kept quiet, be that scholar, and talk issues and calm, instead of getting angry. I, understand why she had to do it, but do not agree with her tactics. I don't like Mr. Mccain doing it, and I can't stand seeing Mr. Obama always being on the defensive, which he has to do because the RNC will not stop, and I really dislike "fill-in-your-own-blanks" innuendo attacks.

      That isn't terribly important. Many Catholics are pro-life personally, but in many cases don't believe it is the role of government to intervene, thus being closer to pro-choice politically. Wedge issues won't drive the campaign this year as much as they did in 2004

    On the Tom Joyner morning show, Tom Joyner interviewed Michelle Obama. He told her many black listeners were Hillary supporters, and they told him they would have to pray on their decision whether they would vote for Obama in November, or not. Tom asked Michelle what she would do to persuade those voters. Michelle went on a speech about Obam's stance on issues, but she did not answer the question. Also, she NEVER mentioned Hillary by name, only glibly referred to "those who supported other candidates." What a stuck up, angry, bitter, mean, jealous, indignant, petty woman.

            To answer your question, I would do everything I could do to reach out to Senator Clinton's 18 million supporters. Whomever attacked who worse during the primary season is a matter of opinion. No, Michelle did not answer the question. Michelle Obama didn't even make an attempt to reach out to black Hillary supporters

      So according to your terrific logic skills, Biden is a terrorist. Beautiful logic. What grade are you in, 3rd or 4th?

      • Posted By: NotAnObamacan @ 08/24/2008 4:29:17 PM

        4th Mark, 4th... still higher than 2nd... but in a short week or two, you'll be in the 3rd and I will then be a 5th grader. A bit cliche for the elitist libbies: what grade u in man... wow, what an intellectually, witty response!!!

        I rather just say, "you're an idiot". So let's say it - You're an idiot!

        Wow! Now try and knock this block of wood off my shoulder.... I dare you!

            That I did, eh Mark? 3rd grade AINT too hard, man... Now you have to learn how to vote: McCain, yes McCain!

            Otherwise, I'll have to give you a noogie and say such things as, "What grade you in man???".

    All this talk about Obama and Biden are insignificant compared to the the fact that George Soros really owns the Democractic Party. As a billionare, he knows how distribute millions of dollars to the campaign through thousands of individuals making it look legal. This is really scary as he wants to sway the country to far left socialist/progressive doctrine if the democrats win. Lord save us.

    Obama camp downplays Clinton backers at convention
    MyWay by Darlene Superville Aug 25, 2008

    DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama's campaign dismissed concerns about the impact of die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton on the choreographed show of unity Democrats were opening Monday at their nominating convention.

    Opening night at the Pepsi Center, the main venue for the four-day Democratic National Convention, aimed to tell the Illinois senator's personal story to the millions of voters nationwide who will begin tuning in to the presidential campaign. Obama's wife, Michelle, was the evening's keynote speaker.

    An emotional highlight was expected to come with a video tribute to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The liberal stalwart was diagnosed in May with a malignant brain tumor and has had surgery and a six-week course of chemotherapy and radiation.

    Behind the scenes, however, polls showing significant Clinton support still being denied to Obama and pro-Clinton demonstrations at offsite venues were creating a different kind of anticipation. Clinton has backed Obama and was scheduled to speak Tuesday night.

    "There are a lot of delegates here who had passionate choices in an extended primary season," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Today" on NBC. "We feel confidant that if we can demonstrate a record of change, a record of vision ... a team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden can convince Democrats, Republicans and independents to support a ticket of change in November."

    Republican candidate John McCain tried to widen any schism remaining between primary-season rivals with a TV ad featuring a Clinton supporter who now backs McCain over Obama.

    "She had the experience and judgment to be president," says Debra Bartoshevich, identified by the McCain campaign as a former Clinton delegate. Of McCain, she says: "I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really!"

    Poll for White House Tied
    by Paul Steinhauser CNN Deputy Political Director

    DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- It's a dead heat in the race for the White House.

    The first national poll conducted after Barack Obama publicly named Joe Biden as his running mate suggests that the battle for the presidency between the Illinois senator and John McCain is all tied up.

    In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominees, with an equal amount supporting his Republican opponent, McCain.

    "This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain."

    So what's the difference now?

    It may be supporters of Hillary Clinton, who still would prefer the New York senator and former first lady as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.

    Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. That's down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.

    "The number of Clinton Democrats who say they would vote for McCain has gone up 11 points since June, enough to account for most, although not all, of the support McCain has gained in that time," Holland said

      The latest statistics I saw show Hillary supporters with : 27% undecided, 21% McCain, 51% Obama. Truthfully I think most Hillary supporters will go to Obama, but with very little enthusiasm

    Biden is an excellent choice. It shows that it will take someone who knows Washington DC old school politics to be able to affect the change our dear country desparately needs. God Bless Obama-Biden and we pray that this country embraces this great ticket. We must work for them not taking anything for granted given the history of poor choices for our country in Presidential Politics.
    Allow McClain to enjoy his life as a civilian traveling to and from his multiple homes in luxury and Peace.
    God help America to follow the wisdom and leadership of Obama and Biden.

    If you really want to look at Senators records you should look at them all. Clinton had more Lap Dogs than any president in history. This is exactly why we should have term limits in the Senate & House. Not picking anyone side, This is why we cannot get anything done for the people. If terms where limited then it would be like any job where if you do not show up then your sorry but has no job. Democrats and Republicans alike spend to much time away doing things that just don't matter to anyone but themselves. Two terms in office is more than sufficient. After that they are like an albatross on the neck of humanity.

    1. Drug warrior, at arms! In 1982, when John McCain was making his first run for political office, Joe Biden was building his credentials for a national bid. That was the year he proposed the office of "drug czar." Thus began a pattern: Whenever people were panicking about drug abuse, Biden would swoop in to assure them that their panic was justified. The crackdown on stuff that could be used as drug paraphernalia? The RAVE Act? Biden was there with a pen. Since 2002, he has softened only a little on the drug war, changing his mind about the crack/cocaine sentencing disparity two decades too late.

    3. The Red, White, and Blue Man's burden. Biden isn't a hawk in the way that John McCain is a hawk. He doesn't look to military intervention as the first solution to every foreign policy trip-up. But he still wants the United States to solve them all. Darfur? Check. The embargo on Cuba? Check. NATO expansion and aid to Georgia? Check. Biden amplifies Obama's long-held, and well-disguised, neo-liberal foreign policy. If you were leaning toward the Democrats because you're tired of leaders bellowing and demanding action from the actors in every foreign flare-up, forget it. That's going to be Biden's job description.

      Yeah, Biden enacted draconian steroid laws making guys who want to add some muscle to their body into criminals. There is a guy doing 37 years in jail in texas for having steroids in his car. Thanks Joe Biden! All of this so that there are no steroids in baseball. Guy is serving 37years so Joe Biden can enjoy baseball. Great American! His retarded thinking and writing of laws is beyond conprehension.
      Then he cosponsors the dxm harm reduction act. That's right folks, cough medicine. He wants the government to track YOUR cough medicine purchases. And, if necessary, throw you in jail for f**king cough medicine!!!
      According to his twisted logic, a man can inject female steroids into his body, grow breasts and have a doctor cut off his penis. But a guy can't go to a doctor and get a legal prescription for steroids supervised by a doctor b/c Joe wants to protect baseball! A guy can however, get breast implants. I dont care much for either candidate but Biden is a dealbreaker.
      I am going to move to Australia if either McCain or OBama are elected. And everyone's post I have read on this site are complete morons. Both sides. For or against Obama/McCain. It's retards like you arguing on the internet is why America is doomed. Internet was so much better when only techies were on it. Now anyone can make a dumb comment. Internet masses of idiots. Sydney here I come baby!!
