A Day for the History Books

Mr. Fineman: Yes, it was a historic day for many to see Obama elevated to the Dem nominee. But, once again, we are mowed over by the media blitz of identity politics...of race and gender before anything else. And, one again, the false image of the Democratic Party being the only party of Diversity. Tell that to Colin Powell, Condelesa Rice, and the many, many other folks of all colors and ethnicities, and different genders that have or are currently serving under a Republican administration. This issue is a red-herring, proprogated for pure political reasons by the Dems, but unfortunately, so too by too many of the media. It's a sad joke that we are forced time and time again to listen to a myth that only serves to further divide our country. Just look at the posts on this blog that spew ridiculous statements such as Republicans don't care about women, or black people. We certainly all can and should complain about Politicians looking out for only their own butts at our expense, but the notion that only the Dems are looking out for diversity and "the little guy" is utter nonsense.

What a great day for America, and the world. That convention was more exciting than the superbowl and the final four put together.
It is going to be so nice to have a president who actually understands the problems with America and how to fix them. Our country will be on the fast track to recovery from the Bush 8 year fiasco that is sending this country on a downward spiral to destruction.
I cannot believe people are actually thinking of voting for McBush, you like high gas prices and soaring inflation, our economy going to hell, us losing our power in the international global politics, and a government overtaken with right wing conservatives who only look out for the wealthy.

LAST 8 YEARS OF LIBERAL LOON PRO-PAGAN-DA, IS NOW FADING AWAY AND SEEN FOR WHAT IT IS. IT IS NOW THE NOOSE THAT WILL HANG THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

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.

The most insignificant day in American politics history, McBush's announcement of his V.P. pick, soon to be outdone only by the bore fest which is the republican convention. N
No wonder Schwarztenagger is skipping the convention. Who would want to hang with a bunch of idiots who don't know the first thing about politics and what is right for America.

No more McBush 08

Obama is going to go down as the greatest president in the United States history. America is so sick of the right wing conservative idiots who have destroyed this country. They are being voted out of congress and out of the white house.
We need change. It is dispicable how low we have fallen in the international community and idiots like the happyamerican(10000000000 to 1 says he is a bitter right wing conservative) think that being liked and a person who can actually use diplomacy instead of expensive invasions of other countries and try to permanently occupy them.

Eight is enough
No more McBush 08

That was the best event of any kind I have ever been to. When I began to think on his speech tears run down my cheek.

The Best Candidate

True, Obama???s nomination is historical. It appears the country, and the Democrats in particular, were ready to nominate a black man, and that may be the essence and the allure of the Obama candidacy. Sen. Obama is a marvelous speaker, but his experience is thin and he has almost no record to speak of. He does not have a distinguished legislative record in the US or the Ill Senates. Moreover, he has taken highly controversial positions on the ???Born Alive??? legislation, proposing care be withheld from infants born alive of botched abortions, a practice rejected by both the US and Ill governments subsequently. Obama has close associations with racist minister Rev. Wright, terrorist and Pentagon bomber William Ayers, and convicted criminal Tony Rezko. Clearly, Barack Obama is not qualified by experience or judgment to be President. Let???s hope history making does not overcome rational thought.

Mr Fineman--

A Day for the History Books

Senator Clinton's nomination is the social equivalent of landing a woman on the moon.

So my question is: How does a teacher of black history with very limited time in congress suddenly have all the answers to solve America's problems? Are people not thinking for themselves? Is there no person who has traveled the world and been in business available to be President?

DENMILL......another avid listener and regurgitator (look it up moron) of Right -Wing hate speech. This piece of crap was born in the wrong century and the wrong country. His bile sounded better in the original German.

MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS A REPUBLICAN


I had a "DREAM (nightmare)" of what the Country might be under Obama.

There will be a new national Anthem to include Black nationalism.
Maybe a new Flag, new coins, currency.
All Americans travelling overseas, will be required to know a second
language before they are allowed to board the plane. Pledges to the
Flag is banned as it may offend certain religion like Islam.

CNN and MSNBC will play 24 hours of only positive news on Obama. Fox
news is shut down. No criticism allowed.
Patriotism, Pin Wearing and waving the American Flag will be a thing
of the Past. Obama surrenders the sovereignty of this country to the
U.N. Obama will visit Iran, Cuba, North Korea etc to beg their
forgiveness for the so called crimes that past US Administration
carried out.
J Wright, Farakahan, Ayers,the Chicago mob, all will have high
important post advising Obama and policy matters must get their seal
of approval.
Billions and Trillions of our Tax money will be given to third world
countries to buy their love and forgiveness for us. Remember, in
Obama vision,it is important for the World to Love us.



Oil will be so, so short in supply that there will be more cyclist on
the roads than cars. USA will become China of the 1980's.
Taxes, will be so high that all business will have closed and the
only job available will be to those who carry a Obama Party Card.
All across, America, people will be forced once a month to attend
rallies at Stadium singing praises and hearing sermons from KING
OBAMA.
School children are forced to read both his books and call Obama
"Dear Leader"
People who do not faint at his rallies are charged with the crime of
not being a Obamots.

This nation will turn backward into, prehistoric mode with no Coal
plants, no nuclear plants, no oils rigs etc as it sickens Americans
and especially the World. Remember,they need to love us.

Thank god I woke up and broke into a cold sweat. it dawned on me, why
on earth would anyone consider voting for Obama. If he was not
affiliated with any Party, would anyone really vote for him based on
his experience, his friendship with J Wright, sat thru this militant
Black theologian Church, with Black value system for 20 years, Ayers,
Rezko etc. Obama claims to be a Christian, yet never showed when he
was baptised, or even has a Christian name. Why would he still be
want to be known by his Muslim name?

Don't forget China is placing 25,000 automobiles onto their streets EACH DAY EVERY WEEK PER MONTH YEARLY. Now, how does that equate to the Global Warming Propaganda and Green Solutions?

Uh oh...Obama's in trouble yet again...if McCain selects a woman...and it's looking like he will...it's all but over. That'll teach you to treat Hillary the way you did. Good move! Bye bye POTUS.

War in Georgia made on tax money USA - good stimulus to choose McCain. It is very suspicious! Very much in time!
