DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Hillary Rex

Clinton gave the best speech she's capable of delivering. And finally, the Democrats looked like they know how to throw a party.

    Hillary is 100X more dignified, capable, and worth of the presidential office than Obama...She's a class act, and makes him look like the doofus he is...Hillary should Never have stood at that podium and asked her delegates to vote for somebody who is INCAPABLE!!!!!! Sasquatch Obama could never look, sound, or act as the lady Hillary is.....NO Obama

      You're incapable and shameless. Look at you.. you come here and spew nothing but racism, hate and nonsense. I think you must look like Sasquatch. Pretty is as pretty does.

        I"D be willing to bet that you were one of those pond scum followers who voted FOR BILL...makes you look like you for whomever is winning AT THE MOMENT...that's not a good quality....LOYALTY is what you're lacking...

          NO WAY !

          HILLARY RACISM COMING OUT ?

      Hillary was talking to you, weren't you listening?

    You think McCain's choice of Palin will focus on women's issues? Haha. that's a huge laugh.

    Here is what someone wrote in comments on the Washington Post website today:

    Sarah Palin is in no way, shape or form anything of the stature and experience of Hillary Clinton. Most of her supporters will gladly vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. A formidable team, with complementary skills and capabilities, who inspire courage, optimism and respect around the world.

    Contrast that with a 72-year-old man whose health is not robust, coupled with a 44-year old church lady with five kids and ZERO overseas travel, no foreign policy credentials. Guess who will be calling all the shots? McCain!

    We will be the laughing stock among our enemies - easy target for picking off our president and allowing a totally shallow, inexperienced church lady to become our President.

    All for the sake of the Religious Right and the option to drill in Alaska. Once again, the GOP putting us in jeopardy with a misjudged choice and greed to appease the major oil companies.
    _________________

    McCain-Palin will be a disaster. Nobody in their right minds will vote for an aging President coupled with a token female who's only there to allow drilling in ANWR. She won't champion equal pay for equal work, women's rights or anything remotely connected to Hillary Clinton's platform/interests.

    She will be another Church Lady. Where is Dana Carvey? He did such a good job on Bush Sr.

    Go to Glennbeck.com or Youtube and see the Obama Anthem.
    Funniest thing I've seen since the Jibjab video.
    The Russian national anthem with new wording.

    Hillary did excellent. Thank you Hillary! You looked great too. The yellow pantsuit looked flattering on you.

      Hi P,

      How are you today? I will miss Obama's speech tonight as I am flying out of town for a family event. But I have DVR so if they do not re-air it I can watch it when I return Tuesday. Hillary's speech was good, but I really liked Bill's speech better, he is still one of the best speakers out there.

      • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 08/28/2008 8:57:25 PM

        Hello Seej! Great to read you. I'm doing well, thank you. I know you are too since you are going out of town. Have a good and safe trip.

        I am watching the Convention as I type..waiting for Obama's speech. I thought Hillary and Bill really outdid themselves. John Kerry did great too. Of course it goes without saying that Michelle was outstanding. What a woman!

    Dems choose Obama in thunderous acclamation
    Yahoo News by David Espo, AP Special Correspondent Wed Aug 27, 7:18 PM ET

    Clinton's call for Obama to be approved by acclamation ??? midway through the traditional roll call of the states ??? was the culmination of a painstaking agreement worked out between the two camps to present a unified front.


    My commentary:

    So, democrats, in order to portray a false unification, schemed to allow politics to trump the democratic process.

    And they are insulted when people don???t refer to them as the democrat(ic) party!

    Yes, the truth is offensive to the democrat party!

  • Posted By: cobalt6 @ 08/27/2008 12:57:37 PM

    Hillary made a great speach. She said all the right things, and totally endorsed Obama! Hillary is a great politition and did exactly what was expected of her!

        DO YOU BELIEVE THE LIES THEY TELL ?

        SHAME ON YOU ! SHAME ON YOU !

        • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 08/28/2008 3:39:24 PM

          T, I know all about the Clintons..believe me , they don't fool me, never have. But, I have give them credit for at least helping Obama out. Whether we like it or not, Obama has it good with them on his side.

  • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 08/27/2008 1:26:18 PM

    I have never been a fan but I now admire Hillary for her speech and her loyalty to Obama and the DNC.
    To all of you Hillary naysayers, go ahead hit me!

        Like I said, T, I admire Hillary for her speech and her support of Obama. That's all. You know I'm only trying to keep the peace between Hillary supps and Obama supps.

      The only thing she did for him is to endorse him (which she could not have avoided doing without committing Harry Carrey).

      • Posted By: neos @ 08/27/2008 2:49:11 PM

        Harry Carrey?? Try hara-kiri, sport. The ONLY thing she did was endorse him??? That and her attack on McSame was quite sufficent, thank you.

        • Posted By: josemarti @ 08/27/2008 5:29:03 PM

          hara-kiri? In Chicago, we say Harry Carrey.

  • Posted By: MuseOn @ 08/28/2008 7:23:46 AM

    This just confirms my image of Hillary Clinton, and what this woman is about - she is a great person, a great leader, and with a deep love for her party and the American people. I don´t think you could have anyone act more gracious.
    I wish her the best, today and in the future.
    I´m still wounded by the fact that I think we missed our best candidate - may I turn as gracious as Hillary Clinton is.
    And I hope this for once and for all, can stop all the hateful projections and attacks towards her - and that the "Obama side" can show this kind of gracious behavior as well. Please know, that as much as this might be a victory for black people - who see it that way, know that we; women - also have the same feelings about our gender, and our story through the times. When we would be put to jail for wanting to vote, and men said a woman could never to the job of a man.
    We would be equally joyful and celebrating if "our girl" won, on our behalf - as blacks are now. And maybe you would be just as much hurting - and people letting that out in different ways, that some woman are now.

    We are pretty much the same.
    So.....have compassion for "the other side", instead of judging.


    • Posted By: max in fl @ 08/28/2008 12:23:19 PM

      You are right, we have to put it behind us. Hillary and Bill were really classy.

      It time to go after McNastyads

    If they think this economy is not worse off than ever before then they need more than a medical exam - maybe they need to just go jump off a tall bridge because the decision they make with McCain & Bush will affect our children and there children, we have the highest deficit and it's true last time we had a democrat in office he erased the deficit. We need a democrat to get this Country back to some intergrity.

    Us true democrats will unite and vote Obama-Biden

  • Posted By: tired and old @ 08/28/2008 10:55:31 AM

    TO ANY HILLARY SUPPORTERS OUT THERE -------- SORRY SHE LOST. N O T !

    TO ANY REPUGNANT REPUBLICANS OUT THERE WHO THINK THE ECONOMY IS GREAT ----- GET A MEDICAL EXAM.

  • Posted By: repub4obama @ 08/27/2008 4:18:40 PM

    I cannot wait to get the right wing conservative whackos out of the white house. The thought of McBush continuing the failed policies that have destroyed this country is too much to bear. I cannot wait till Obama proves all these right wing conservative idiots wrong.

  • Posted By: rjkardo @ 08/28/2008 10:19:38 AM

    I am asking this again...Where did the person who wrote this article get his definitions?
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catharsis
    1: purgation (which is defined as the act of purging)
    2 a: purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art b: a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension3: elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharsis
    Catharsis is a Greek word meaning "purification" or "cleansing" derived from the ancient Greek infinitive transliterated as kathairein "to purify, purge," and adjective katharos "pure or clean". While I am not one to defend Hillary, I am wondering where you got your definition.

  • Posted By: josemarti @ 08/27/2008 12:50:26 PM

    She endorsed him (she could not have done otherwise without committing Harry Carrey) but DID NOT EMBRACE HIM.

    This convention is turning out to be a disaster for Obama.
    1. does anybody still remember the first night. Oh yeah. Michelle
    2. Last night. Hillary. Could anybody watch her withought being reminded of that great comic Father Pflagel mocking her?
    3. Tonight Bill. Can anybody watch him without being reminded of the racist comments he made during the campaign?
    4. Tomorrow night. The coronation in front of an adoring crowd of 150,000. The Republicans could not have scripted it better.

      Ok Cuban Counter-revolutionary, why don't you brave little island guys go back to that island and retake it, instead of hiding under our umbrella in Miami, and debasing our politics with your failed mess?

    • Posted By: Richard1327 @ 08/27/2008 5:02:55 PM

      YOU can't even remember the racist remark Bill made during the primary...because he didn't make any racist remarks. His remark about Jesse Jackson was barely racial, let alone racist.

      • Posted By: josemarti @ 08/27/2008 5:31:02 PM

        Oh please. That's like saying: "she is a little pregnant." His comment was racist.

        • Posted By: Richard1327 @ 08/27/2008 5:56:06 PM

          Please, post the comment Bill made, if you know what it was. I'll bet you don't even know what Bill said. You probably listened to the media or a friend of a friend and reacted purely on emotion. While you're out doing research, look up the definitions for "racist" and "racial". I think you'll be surprised.

      This time, when a republican steps into one of their filthy back-alleys, they are going to find a Democrat, at the corner of Rove and Atwater, with a baseball bat, wanting you to come on over. Remember this?

      Bring it on.

    Hillary Rex is the right title.
    She is royal, she has a natural aura of authority - from her personality, experience and competence.

    This is the closest we get to an American Royal family.
    Best wished and blessings to the Clintons.
    And; well done.

  • Posted By: The Soothsayer @ 08/27/2008 1:19:03 PM

    Great Speech! If only we can see the real Hillary... Maybe Bill will tell the truth! If Obama loose, the Hill can make in 2012. The lesser of two evil will be McCain... The winner will be Hillary, if we all vote McCain in November! What can an inexperience Junior Senator do at the Presidency? Look for hidden agenda that will sell out all of us and make Bush look like a Choirboy!!! Barrak is looking like Michael Bolts after the race in the Olympic. With the Russian front looming, Obama will lead us to the biggest downfall in world history!!! It's time to be heard and not follow in "PROMISED CHANGES" that will never work. Remember, you heard it here first!
    On the OX year (2009), Obama (an Ox), will lead us into turmoil in which we had never experienced before. This is the fate we will have should he be elected!!!

    And it came to pass that the national anthem was played and the ONE placed his hands over the wrong place. Some wanted to stone him, but his followers rose up and said "ye who have not fondled yourself, cast the first stone". Thus he was spared and he traveled the land, speaking to the crowds while often raising his head heavenward, as tho getting cues. And yea tho he walketh in the shadow of Wright, his charisma is great, and he plodeth on to achieve stardom. Then came a great gathering of the faithful in the west, and lo and behold, the appointed ONE came forth from the Greek temple, saying "A light will shine down... from somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany... ". The crowd rejoiced and awaited the blessed event, and waited, and waited, and waited, and.......
