Not sure if Rachel can use this, but I am thinking of having bumper stickers made:

2 BUSHed 4 McCain

Thanks for all you do.

I heard that part of Obama's speech will be read from two tablets with messages directly from God (or from Obama's own mind if you are athiest). I also heard that the concessions stands at the stadium ran out of diet pepsi last night but Jane Fonda said something to him and now the tanks are full again. Apparently some of the toilets had ecoli virus on the seats but after Obama used them they are sterile.

I might miss the live speech tonight but will read it when it is codified in the Second New Testament.

Love,
HR

Rachel--tell 'em to play it! :-)

I just heard Rachel mention the protesters behind the MSNBC set. While I couldn't hear all of it, I am confident one of the things they were chanting was "9-11 was an inside job". It was unfortunate that they had to abandon the set. When Rachel and Gregory moved to "higher ground", was when I actually was able to pick up the words. I couldn't really hear anyone else too clearly at that point. Hopefully tonight will go a little more smoothly.

OK, for the win...

Rachel totally jamming with Uncle Pat as he wears Stevie Wonder glasses!

Today I read a post on a Politico blog that referenced McCain's answer to Leno. He said he did not have a house or a table, chair, etc. He did have a home where his wife and children were waiting for him to return and he gave them thanks by leaving them for a rich heiress.

If there is anything that shows the measure of a man's judgement it is the choices that are made during difficult times. The experience that McCain and any other veteran is unimaginable and it is worth giving credit for. I do not understand why the pain and suffering that his family had to endure is not acknowledged by the media. I can imagine that it was difficult for them as well.

In the area of judgement, is it good judgement to abandon the ones who were loyal and stuck by McCain in his worst hours. I guess it is good judgement if you reside in the 10 percent of America who owns that wealth because it shows good business skills. Right?

I do understand why Obama does not go after McCain to bloody him. He is risking his presidency on the chance that Americans are smarter than a smear campaign.

Maybe he is right and maybe he is wrong...we will see in November.

Watched it in a local gay bar with, as it turns out, a fellow PA emigré. EXCELLENT WORK with the keystone-shaped podium! Unmistakable, and it really stood out to the likes of us.

It seems that the initial GOP response to Obama's speech is to lie about it.
They don't have anything real to take issue with, so they make up false issues.

It seems that the R's have decided that the only way they can win the debate
is by turning it into a gutter fight, and they are trying to provoke us to verbal
violence by lying about the facts. Once we lose our cool and find ourselves
arguing their false facts, we've lost the chance to have a real discussion about
real issues.

The point of their remarks is to make us question ourselves and the validity
of our message(as any honest person would do). It is a frequently used tool
of scoundrels to use the decency of honest people against them. We need to
recognize this for what it is, and not hesitate call bullshit on these bullshit tactics.

We've got to call them out on this behavior the minute they try to use it. I think that
the phrase "that's a false issue" might become very useful to us in the next weeks.

Let's not let them trick us into wasting our energy by debating their bogus points.
If we keep ourselves informed, we'll be able to easily refute the lies and falseness,
and their provocations will prove themselves toothless.

Just remember: if they had any real points to make, they would be using them.

Let's all try to jump right past these false arguments and workto talk about the
important stuff!

Are you just playing dumb, or are you insane? UBL, KSM & Atta defeated all the USA's counter measures under DoD NORAD/NEADS on 9/11 so the USA must redouble PMC contracts with KBR & Blackwater, Boeing, Raytheon et. al., in perpetuity? WTF???

Senator McCain was turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, I stood up and opposed this war, knowing that it would distract us from the real threats we face. When John McCain said we could just "muddle through" in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources and more troops to finish the fight against the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and made clear that we must take out Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants ...

One nation "UNDER GOD" indivisible (from sea to shining sea, wrong! Try Delaware CitiBank to Lichtenstein UBS), with liberty and justice for all MY ASS!!!

1. Two political parties whose electoral campaigns are primarily financed by Fortune 100 corporate executives via K Street Lobbyists and donation bundlers to influence legislation, have leveraged their king maker power to erect statutory roadblocks to thwart efforts of any potential candidate for political office to get on the ballot? particularly for federal office.

2. Despite majority support for legislation that would alter the status quo widening income disparity gap and disproportional taxation that alleviates the wealthiest 1% of any financial liability whatsoever via both loopholes in the IRS code (not to mention the DEATH TAX or the AMT), and subsidizes their corporate ventures counter-intuitively as their consecutive gross profit yield rises above levels documented in recorded history, the majority of movement purportedly democratically elected office holders continue to support legislation that perpetuates an inequitable tax burden on those with the least disposable income in order to secure their personal reelection campaigns financial sources.

3. Efforts to implement instant run off optional preferential voting where a citizens second choice candidate receives the votes of their first choice when their top selection fails to achieve a sufficient majority, although supported by both the rhetoric of most incumbents and by populace consensus has not been made a platform issue just as the matter of instituting a national initiative congressional amendment that would prevent non-responsive congressional leadership from taking critical issues off the table, has been absent from discussion.

As long as the public remains deluded in the belief that their will is proportionally represented by purportedly democratically elected officials, there will be NO CHANGE in the STATUS QUO on a substantive basis. Incrementalist triangulation is a hornswoggler tactic that relies on misinformation and fine print loopholes to achieve the same ends that most benefit the clever oligarchs and plutocrats who have conspired to indoctrinate the masses with the MYTH that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. The fact is that under the current system those who abide by the GOLDEN RULE are MORE EQUAL than others, that is HE WITH THE MOST GOLD, RULES!!!

Just for shits and giggles would you be for a checkbox on your tax return to deduct $50 from your tax burden just for voting by entering your ballot receipt number to be applied against a $100 charge to cover 100% public financing of all elections to facilitate the criminalization of billionaires or proxies clandestinely or overtly buying office seats via media payola and mega quid pro quo contributions via PAC's or bundlers (eg. the shrub's RANGERS)?

WHAT IS THE DoD SPENDING $10 BILLION A MONTH ON?

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Here’s the problem: we have 140,000 private contractors right there, so unless we want to replace all of or a big chunk of those with US troops, we can’t draw down the contractors faster than we can draw down our troops. So what I want to do is draw—I want them out in the same way that we make sure that we draw out our own combat troops.

AMY GOODMAN: Not a ban?

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Well, I don’t want to replace those contractors with more US troops, because we don’t have them, alright?

BTW:

Those WeAreChange radicals disrupting MSnbc's set at Union Station, may appear to be lunatic anarchists, but in truth they share the view of the vast majority of informed Europeans, Japanese, Canadians, Australians, and Nonaligned Nationals.

In the USA, the percentage of those who don't buy the official myth that amateur pilots with boxcutters defeated the DoD's NORAD/NEADS trillion dollar complex of countermeasures to successfully penetrate restricted DC airspace well after attacks on the WTC were public knowledge, exceeds 45%. In NYC the number is over 65% have concluded that the 9/11 attacks involved far more than the government claims to have had occurred just as the global consensus of the official LONE GUNMAN official story surrounding the JFK assassination having been complete bunk. Thus in both cases the perpetrators remain free to commit future acts of terror under FALSE FLAG guise to achieve their political objectives, which incidentally always involve expansion of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that benefits the IRON TRIANGLE with tentacles in every state via the FRB.

Have you been bothered by the fact that the FBI and DoD sill refuse to release the video from additional 84 surveillance cameras trained on the Pentagon at the time of the attack?

How about the fact that live BBC TV News reported that WTC-7 had collapsed 26 minutes prior to the actual event?

The fact that AG Ashcroft was told not to fly commercial aircraft and Willy Brown was personally warned by Condi Rice not to fly on 9/11 hasn't left a burr in your saddle has it?

What about the other 570 570 UNANSWERED questions that the 9/11 widow Jersey Girls who protested for months in the capital to finally have the Kean-Hamilton Commission created against the will of the Whitehouse, that remain UNANSWERED?

You want answers? I want the TRUTH!

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

BTW:
Once the truth about who actually orchestrated 9/11 is in the open, the 3 items at the top of this post will actually have a chance in hell of getting resolved.

Tim Polenta??
"Polenta is made with ground yellow or white cornmeal. It can be ground coarsely or finely depending on the region and the texture desired. As it is known today, polenta derives from earlier forms of grain mush commonly eaten in Roman times and after. Early forms of polenta were made with such starches as the grain farro and chestnut flour, both of which are still used in small quantity today. When boiled, polenta has a smooth creamy texture due to the gelatinization of starch in the grain, though it may not be completely homogenous if a coarse grind or a particularly hard grain such as flint corn is used."
Perfect description of McCain's running mate - boiled white gelatinized grain mush.

MSNBC is reporting that Tim Pawlenty has been told that he isn't the VP pick and Mitt Romney won't be at the even in Ohio.

If the Republican VP pick is Lieberman, I'm reinstating my crackpot theory that McCain is deliberatly trying to lose the election.
