The GOP's Natural

Philip Berg, the well-known Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General for the State of Pennsylvania who two weeks ago sued Illinois senator and Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama in federal court challenging the constitutionality of his White House bid, was at the courthouse this morning to file a Praecipe for Reissuance of Summons.

While the original summons was accepted ten days ago by the U.S. Attorney's office on behalf of the Federal Election Commission, also a named defendant in Berg's suit, proper service never reached the Democratic National Committee or Barack Obama's agent for service. Today's procedure will ensure that proper service is made, but the reasons behind the procedural hiccup remain a mystery to everyone involved.

"For whatever reason, Sen. Obama never received the summons," said Berg over the telephone this afternoon. "The court mailed everything out on August 22nd."

This time, rather than relying solely upon the court to mail the summonses following the filing of the complaint, the papers were faxed to a court service company in Washington, D.C. While on the phone, Berg received a call on the other line and confirmed that the papers were indeed in D.C. and would be served, at the latest, by tomorrow.

NOBAMA!!!

Palin and Guiliani were the stars of last night's hate-fest. Has anyone else noticed the sharp contrast between the issues-oriented positive Democratic convention and the personality-oriented negative Republican convention? One convention inspired us to seek our better nature and the other has become mired in tho old divisive politics of hate. The Repubs simply can not run on the issues, so it's back to the old Karl Rove playbook of character assassination. Let's all band together as Americans first and say, 'Not this time!'

RUDY'S BEST LINE WAS !! OBAMA FLIP FLOPS SO MUCH IF I WERE JOE BIDEN I'D GET THAT V.P. THING IN WRITING ! lmfao

Vice President Dick Cheney is representing the United States in the country of Georgia this week in light of recent unrest there with Russia. As much as I disagree with Mr. Cheney's politics, I think he would be competent in this political mission for our country. I do not think that Sarah Palin would be our best representative to go to Georgia and discuss these issues...this is just one example of trying to put someone who is underqualified in a position of importance. It is not a popularity contest in the simplest of terms. There are serious and important demands on the position of VP. Regardless of her speaking ability, I cannot believe that her experience thus far could possibly prepare her to do the minimum as VP.

What's the difference between a Pit Bull and a Republican?

Pit bulls come in different colors.

I think that it was a mistake to call a lady a dog, considering the confusion that might arise over the technical term for a mama dog, and its connotation with respect to a lady by the same term. Maybe they should have called her some other aggressive animal. But then, in politics, mistakes are made.

Beyond the Palin

When Palin can win a national primary (over a political dynasty no less), then she will have the standing and credibility to be mentioned in the same breath with Obama. This woman is not anywhere near the most qualified person to be tapped for the VP slot. Again, for those complaining about Obama's lack of experience as a counter agrument to this valid argument - he has campaigned for 20 months and earned the nomination with over 18 million votes from the American people (not to mention an 11 year record as a State and U.S. Senator from a state with an actual population to manage).

Sarah Palin is no leader of a movement - she was Governor of Alaska for 18 months - which is the equivalent of a kid running a lemonade stand and claiming to have the experience to run Wal-Mart. How many states could she win in a primary?

She was abrasive at best last night, and showed she could effectively read a teleprompter. The fact these Republicans can actually (pretend to) get behind her exposes a far more troubling issue for them; Poor judgement and desperation. In private, they freely admit that this was terrible for this campaign but are playing the only cards they have - Culture wars, Fear, and running to the right.

It saddens me that McCain has turned in to such a sad, old puppet of the right. How could he name her as VP when he's met her once? Judgement? Country First? Really? One heartbeat away from the leader of the free world? Cute story, but let's get back to reality folks. The Republicans should be ahamed of themselves, and have lost any credibility they might have been clinging to.

As far as the sexism claims - please get real. If She wants to throw her 19 year old heading to Iraq in our face, and her special needs baby, then she will need to field questions about her pregnant daughter as well when she wants to ban sex education......So I say to her stop using the kids and the media will stop asking, which is as it should be.

The only thing more pathetic than Palin being named is that so many will actually vote for these clowns.

Palin and these goons don't think we're stupid............The know we are.

Obama / Biden 2008

back to the stix reject

As the proud mother of a soldier who is currently on his THIRD tour of duty in Iraq I have qustions...

1. What strings were pulled to get her son away from his unit 1 week prior to deployment to be at the convention? On my sons second tour he had a buddy who's grandmother died 10 days prior to departure and the Army did not let him leave to attend the funeral.

2. Did the information she gave out about her son (Infantry, deploying on Sept 11) get clearance from the Pentagon? This information is not normally made public to protect our brave men and women - we did not know our son's departure until 2 days prior to leaving.

3. Now that her son's face and name has been released to the world, will he still serve in the capacity originally planned? Will he have Secret Service detail or be reassigned to desk duty?
