    The Clintons are losers; they need to get over it.

    The Clintons, both of them, are just a couple of malcontent, sore losers who have done and continue to do everything they can think of to destroy Obama???s chances to win. To wit: Just last week, as well as the week before, Hillary referred to Obama as ???her opponent.??? Speaking of the conventions, she said, ??? A catharsis is needed for her supporters. A not too subtle hint to her supporters to raise hell at the convention. Additionally, she provided McComa with ammunition to use against Obama. And Bill, when asked if the thought Obama was qualified to be president, responded that: ???Well he over 35 and he???s an American citizen. Those are the only Constitutional qualifications.??? What a ringing endorsement.

    The facts are: these two losers still do not recognize that they have lost, and good riddance. We don???t need Bill to stink up the White House again. And if memory serves me, Hillary was required to return silverware to the White House she had taken after they left.

    I just hope Obama???s gracious offer to allow them to speak at the convention does not backfire. There is no telling what these miserable losers might say to enhance their own tarnished images and bring down Obama in the process.

    If Barack Obama really, REALLY wanted to win the election, he would have chosen Hillary as his VP pick. Unfortunately, his ego won't allow it. BIG, BIG MISTAKE.

    Which american Senator obstructed legitimante reform and improvement to our crimijal justice system? during a period of grouth of violent crime in the USA? And he did this to slip gun control schemes on America?
    That's right! Take the gun control or you get NO crime control was the quid pro quo!
    It is Senator Biden! A verb. A noun. And gun control
    He's a crime coddeler!
    A personal history he can not escape!

      Since coming to the Senate, Biden has written some of the most innovative and far-reaching criminal justice proposals in recent history, including the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, also known as the Biden Crime Bill. The 1994 law put more than 100,000 additional police officers on the streets; assisted states in building prisons and boot camps to make punishing crime more cost-effective; helped fund "drug courts" that combine intensive supervision, drug testing and treatment for non-violent first offenders; and supported existing juvenile crime prevention programs that are proven successes. The law also banned 19 of the deadliest assault weapons, and increased penalties for interstate gun trafficking. The Biden Crime Bill is widely credited with the dramatic drop in crime rates during the 1990s.

      Sorry to get your biased opinion all muddled up with facts, but...

      By freedom do you also mean freedom of religion as enshrined in the American Constitutio?

  • Posted By: thehappyamerican @ 08/24/2008 2:24:46 PM

    Biden is also an ultra-Left Liberal conceding the more ballanced ticket to McCain in almost anyone he picks for VP!
    Biden obstructed sound reforms to get crime and violence under control in this nation, holding out to find the American threshold of pain to substitute gun control schemes!
    Obama has Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist, as a close friend!
    What kind of ticket is this!
    The super delegates must be asking themselves! But then.. there is no democracy in the Democratic Party.

      You sound like an unahappy American that was disenfranchised rather than thehappyamerican you claim to be.

      • Posted By: thehappyamerican @ 08/24/2008 9:26:17 PM

        I'm happy to be an American because this is America! Now ,like many, I'm in a cross fire of shallow discrimination campaigns... and get this:
        The people waging them from under rocks and dumpsters don't think anyone realizes their message of Americans Suck First is a collection of discrimination campaigns!
        They believe they are getting away with it , and that they really are disenfrachising the Christians, Gun Owners, Achievers, military experts and law enforcement people! And other Americans as well!
        So heres what you do! Don't tell those fools that WE KNOW! (shhhhh).
        And just believe America is a great country. A just country. A land of oppertunity! Then what the liars under the rocks and dumpsters waging discrimination campaigns will disenfrachise them selves!
        (The approval of the DNC led Congress reflects some disenfrachisement, and rebuke from Americans!!).
        Americans HATE discrimination campaigns and those that wage them! I'm sure you agree!
        Vote freedom first!

    Sounds like the liberal media brain-washed, Jim Jones Kool-Aid kids are at it again... sipping from the same incestuous punch of MSNBC, NEWSWEEK, CNN etc...

    I think they need to learn to read... and then, read between the lines of these liberal elistists' OBAMA ADS that they call news. You would have to be extremely rich or extremely poor to vote for him (barack hussein bin obama). God won't bless this Manchurian Candidate (Al-Queida's Greatest Cell).

    Besides, why would you even use God's name in vain? If you vote for Obama, you vote for abortion... last I checked, I think that's against the Church's preachings.

    God Bless Smart Americans!

    Vote McCain!

      Do you truly believe all this about a United States Senator? No, really, put your hand on a Bible and swear that you believe this is true. If you can, then you are completely brainwashed, pathologically obtuse, and certainly not a christian. (Last time I checked, Christians are not allowed to be racist, mean-spirited hate-mongers.)

    Obama Misspeaks, Calls Biden 'The Next President'; Biden Calls Obama 'Barack America'
    August 23, 2008

    ABC News' Sara Just reports: Journalists who were awake until the wee hours waiting for confirmation that Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., was indeed Barack Obama's running mate, cannot be blamed if their hearing is a little fuzzy today.

    But after today's Obama-Biden speeches to a massive crowd in Springfield, Ill., many reporters are rolling back the tape and asking each other, "Did he really say that?"

    When introducing his running mate, Obama said, "So let me introduce to you the next president - the next vice president of the US of America, Joe Biden."

    And then when it was Biden's turn to speak, the Delaware senator called the presumptive Democratic nominee "Barack America" instead of Barack Obama.

    "My friends, I don't have to tell you, this election year the choice is clear. One man stands ready to deliver change we desperately need. A man I???m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States, Barack America,??? Biden said, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller.

    MR hair plugs (biden) is the angry white guy that Obama has been compaigining against.

    Didn't he say that Barrack was "clean" and that was a surprise or something?

    Barrack Obama still does not have any experience. He will need a pupet master behind him telling him what he needs to say and do.

    Just like the left accuses Cheney running the show, Biden will be required to run Obama's show.

        • Posted By: Americansforabetterusa @ 08/24/2008 3:32:58 AM

          If I had a Billion I would use it to ensure the prosperity of myself and my family without buying into a do nothing bunch of politicians with their hand out at $1000 plus a plate dinners. Instead I would buy dinner for people who have no idea where their next meal is coming from. Or better yet i would buy them clothes, Put them up in a hotel and help them get a job. It's just to bad that Washington Insiders and Politicians are so greedy. You want to improve this country then take away the corruption of influence. If the max donation to any campaign was $ 200.00 dollars by anyone or business then every politician would be playing on the same level.

    Come, now, you people. You make "adulterous money grabber" sound like it's a bad thing! After seven years of Bush/Cheney we've had to completely re-evaluate the Seven Capital Vices. After seven years of shameless men who still congratulate themselves for lying their country men into a war which has resulted in nearly 4,500 deaths of its bravest and best citizens we have to find a new stratum for sin. Everyone of one of those soldiers who died was a hero--willing to lay down his or her LIFE without question--Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, has not the time come when DECENCY DEMANDS that we ASK those questions?

    Do not wonder, Dr. Rice, whether that is a smoking gun or a mushroom cloud...that may be the smoldering gates of Hell on your horizon.

    To 666: When was younger and lived at home with my parents I heard this word and noticed it bothered some. In the basement of my parents home was a very old Websters Dictionary it was very heavy with gold leaf. Anyway I looked up this word And it read N i G.. A brown skin person with coarse hair African decent. Then I read my bible about a man called Jesus and it describe him.. His feet were the color of Bronze and his hair was the texture of wool. So the next time you decide to call a name. Remember The God of Glory that wrapped himself up in flesh to save the world just might have been what you call a N I g.

When "leaners" are included, it???s Obama 48% and McCain 45%.

    Oh how quickly the right-wing neo-con so called "Christian" conservatives forget. Think back 28 years people, durng the 1980 campaign Papa Bush was calling the neo-con "god" Ronald Reagan's economic plan "VOODOO ECONOMICS" right up to the VERY DAY he was tapped as Reagan's #2.

    IT IS QUITE BEYOND ME HOW HE COULD PICK SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN IN POLITICS LONGER THAN HILARY AND WHO ONLY GOT A VERY FEW MILLION VOTES AS OPPOSED TO HILARY CLINTON GETTING 18 MILLION.

      People pay far too much attention to these "Hillary" boosters. My guess is there are a few disgruntled old women out there, but I think that 95% or better of these posters in this forum are just Republicons posing as Hillary supporters. Just trying to keep the wounds open. Republicons have no moral compass, after all they voted for Bush/Cheney twice.

      • Posted By: ej617@comcast.net @ 08/23/2008 6:07:48 PM

        Right, 18 million of us voted for Hillary-- the majority of the vote-- so much for electing a candidate. And just so you know, us "old women" actually vote.

        • Posted By: jarcher1 @ 08/24/2008 4:17:23 PM

          Uh no, 17,493,836 men and women voted for Hillary. Not 18 million disgruntled old women. Typical republicon con. I very much doubt the crossover to McCain will exceed 10,000 votes total, spread out over 50 states, which will be truly negliable as far as who carries what state. Now I haven't seen you post much but cult followers above is an obvious republicon plant taking all his postings into account. You guys ought to just let the dogs loose and go hunt racoons, cause you really aren't doing any damage here.

    Ever since it became clear that Obama would be the likely nominee, the political establishment has been demanding of him more and more proof that his "change" rhetoric is just that -- rhetoric, and not anything meant as a genuine threat to the prevailing order of things. Obama, arguably out of political necessity, has repeatedly obliged, eagerly trying to offer proof that he is no threat to them, and the Biden selection is but the latest step in that campaign of reassurance. In sum, Biden is a reliable supporter of virtually every prevailing bit of conventional wisdom within the American elite political consensus, which is why his selection has been widely praised by the establishment, whose principal concern is that their fiefdom not be disrupted and that their consensus not be challenged.
