HULK SMASHED
Hello!
Peace.
hello to you!
I'M JOHN MCCAIN AND YOU'RE NOT
Fine with me.
I was enjoying the Ferraro thread.
I am John McSame & I am soooo confused.
I love the way Obama keeps rubbing McCain's nose in chimpitude.
He is McCain, so he is good and moral and right and correct and anything else is unpossible.
He's a maverick, too... don't forget that he's a maverick.
In spite of what that big red W branded on his ass might lead you to think.
I'm glad that Bonoir is putting it out on the table that our SoS and state legislatur nixed the revote - it had nothing to do with Obama.
John McCain refused to admit that he made a mistake.
He also refuses to admit that he's only four feet tall.
Oregon and other states followed the rules. Levin basically said, tough shit Oregon.
I am John McCain and my behavior has caused the death of people in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and on an aircraft carrier. Can Obama say anything like that?
I made a mistake in ordering the meatloaf. I can admit it. It was a mistake.
.
George Bush, John McCain
Just as every sentence from Rudy consisted of a noun, a verb, and 9/11, every sentence from Obama should contain a noun, a verb, and George Bush, John McCain.
John McCain refused to admit that he made a mistake.
The combover doesn't help his case any.
John "Admiral Stockdale" McCain.
Hell, he's not even John McCain any more.

John is moral and good and right and correct.

I thought it was, "He's more mosquito than man now..."
On Memorial Day, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen published a letter to uniformed soldiers warning that “the U.S. military must remain apolitical at all times.” Just three days later, however, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign sent out a fundraising appeal featuring a picture of McCain with Gen. David Petraeus. McCain spokesman Brian Rogers told ABC News’s Jake Tapper that “the image of Petraeus is not at all contrary to the spirit of Mullen’s directive.” But in a press conference today, McCain himself admitted that it was inappropriate, saying “it won’t happen again.”
McCain: That doesn't mean I made a mistake, my friends.
Oregon and other states followed the rules. Levin basically said, tough shit Oregon.
ErinPDX
I don't think it's as simple as that Erin. What he said he and those who agree with him are trying to find an equitable solution the problems of a flawed process in order to achieve the kind or unity that is necessary to win in the fall.
I think everyone wants to revisit the whole problem of sanctioning states for breaking rules when honoring those rules isn't entirely in their parties' hands.
.
I can't believe that midday on a Saturday they allow the TV to broadcast all this hot rule on bylaw action!
Which one of these attributes allows him to call his wife a c*nt?
Correct?
.
iced green tea coming your way.
I think a push to bring up the 'c*nt' comment once a month should happen from now until September at which time it is brought up bi-weekly.
Am I the only one that thinks Sarah Jessica Parker has a horse face?
Neigh.

Ferraro is the female Joe Lieberman:
In 1992 she ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for the New York Senate seat, finishing second in the primary behind State Attorney General Robert Abrams.
In 1998, Ferraro ran for the Senate again. She started off as the frontrunner for the nomination but lost ground in the late summer months. She finished second behind Congressman Charles Schumer
See, it's stuff like this that actually gives me a glimmer of hope that an Obama presidency won't be just another four years of Dems caving to the Repugs on everything.
I said a glimmer..
McCain, speaking to reporters in Milwaukee, refused to acknowledge a mistake, saying that "I said we have drawn down. And we have drawn down."
His advisers said the flap amounted to nothing more than "nitpicking" about "verb tenses."
"It is the essence of semantics," said a frustrated Randy Scheunemann, McCain's top foreign policy adviser, on a conference call organized by the campaign. "We're having this call about a verb tense."
The Republican National Committee also joined in, saying in a statement that "this all goes to show that Obama would sooner go on the attack than go to Iraq."
Lame, unoriginal, obvious horseshit.
In Montana later in the day, Obama refused to back off, saying that "anyone running for commander in chief should know better."
Running for president, not running for commander in chief.
The Sarah Jessica Parker comment is lookism. Perhaps you are confused as to how she, with her looks, gets on the screen, but some would call it progress. The acting-notsomuch.
Foal me once, shame on me.
Where is Vicki Iseman? What happened to her?
Sparkle, I heard him and understand. The whole thing is fucked and that was my point. Basically all of the states that followed the rules were duped. And the MI and FL voters got the screw job, as did Edwards.
The Sarah Jessica Parker comment is lookism.
? I was under the impression most people find horses to be quite beautiful.
Well, this is the danger of the politics of personality rather than the politics of policy, right? George Bush is a righteous man, in good with god, and so nothing he does disturbs that.
One might try judging people by policies, instead.

Okay then, you got me, as usual.
I have to say, of all the commenters here, you are the one that is always calling me out. I would love to be angry and frustrated, but you are uncannily correct.

While I think their underlying psychologies are slightly different, this is very true about McCain. He is McCain, so he is good and moral and right and correct and anything else is unpossible.
McCain and the media have mind-melded over this. A messy spectacle, if ever there was one.
Fucker did it again!!!

wadr, if HRC's campaign would listen to the feedback, they might have a shot at showing their ability to adjust their message to join the populace in the 21st C. It's getting late, if not already too late.
as it is, Obama's tracking with the populist undercurrent by saying, "not only change the players, change the game." So far, his actions have been more in line with his words and that's why he's ahead, that's why his message seems almost spiritual - it is precisely the spirit of the fight.

So far, his actions have been more in line with his words and that's why he's ahead
That and the fact that he doesn't have Mark Penn, Geraldine Ferraro and other assorted luminaries running a GOP/DLC style campaign for him.

hi, all
OT, but worth noting: some insurers are declining to underwrite policies for otherwise healthy women who've had c-sections:
“It made no sense,” said Ms. Robertson, 39, who lives in Centennial, Colo. “I’m in perfect health.”
She was turned down because she had given birth by Caesarean section. Having the operation once increases the odds that it will be performed again, and if she became pregnant and needed another Caesarean, Golden Rule did not want to pay for it. A letter from the company explained that if she had been sterilized after the Caesarean, or if she were over 40 and had given birth two or more years before applying, she might have qualified for coverage.
...Although it is not known how many women are in Ms. Robertson’s situation, the number seems likely to increase, because the pool of people seeking individual health insurance, now about 18 million, has been growing steadily — and so has the Caesarean rate, which is at an all-time high of 31.1 percent. In 2006, more than 1.2 million Caesareans were performed in the United States, and researchers estimate that each year, half a million women giving birth have had previous Caesareans.

For-profit insurance companies like the odds to favor the house, and share all the fervor and moral rectitude of any given casino operator on the subject. Why they should be at the center of a nation's health care continues to baffle me...

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Chief negotiators of a landmark treaty banning cluster bombs predicted Friday that the United States will never again use the weapons, a critical component of American air and artillery power.
The treaty formally adopted Friday by 111 nations, including many of America's major NATO partners, would outlaw all current designs of cluster munitions and require destruction of stockpiles within eight years. It also opens the possibility that European allies could order U.S. bases located in their countries to remove cluster bombs from their stocks.
The United States and other leading cluster bomb makers — Russia, China, Israel, India and Pakistan — boycotted the talks, emphasized they would not sign the treaty and publicly shrugged off its value. All defended the overriding military value of cluster bombs, which carpet a battlefield with dozens to hundreds of explosions.
carpet bombs rule!

Why not give women more delegate power too? After all They didn't get the vote until 1920. They weren't even considered people under the Constitution.
prof wombat, that is one of the most revealing stories about the complete bankruptcy and immorality of health insurance companies and our present system.
insure the well. increase profits.
it has nothing to do with health care. it is a total racket.
FL and MI should listen to Stroschein talk about the glam of being at the *end* of the campaign trail.
Rules shouldn't disenfranchise voters.

I once addressed her as 'shit fer brains', so it all evens out.
Republicans like to say that individuals should be in charge of their own healthcare and gov't run health insurance would keep that from happening. In what sense is Arlene Robinson able to make decisions about her health care? How is it that insurance company executives making decisions to deny people access to health insurance is acceptable to these people? I don't get it.

It's actually a mixture of for-profit and not-for-profit companies. Aetna is a for-profit company, Blue Cross/Blue Shield is a not-for-profit company. Lots of people get their health insurance through a prepaid group practice, and most of those are not-for-profit.
So it's not just the for-profit motive that is the problem. Or rather, the problem is that high-cost cases are something the companies would not like to accumulate, and they all really have the same incentive to avoid them, even the not-for-profit ones.
Unable to manage their own primary process, Dimocrats seek to manage Executive Branch...

What the man said.
When our "representatives" are paid to misunderstand it is amazing how hard it is to get them to understand something. I just don't understand why they sell out so cheaply to the insurance, phone and oil companies.
Probably not so cheaply. The money, I understand, is quite good.
On May 7, Dunkin’ Donuts began running an ad on its Web site and others, featuring the celebrity chef Rachael Ray holding a cup of the company’s iced coffee while wearing a black-and-white fringed scarf. In the ad, which was shot in a studio, she is shown standing in front of trees with pink blossoms and a building with a distinctive spire.
On May 23, the conservative blog Little Green Footballs posted an item that likened Ms. Ray’s scarf to the type typically worn by Muslim extremists. The blog said that the ads “casually promote the symbol of Palestinian terrorism and the intifada, the keffiyeh, via Rachael Ray.”
Later that day, the conservative blogger Michelle Malkin chimed in, likening the scarf to a keffiyeh and calling it “jihadi chic.” Then the story, as they say on the Internet, went totally viral.
it's teh stupid that has gone viral...nothing more, and teh NYT, and any other media which doesn't simply denigrate the ratwanger intolerant assholes; show more about how complicit they are in perpetuating stereotypes
Oh, yes. When Obama extols the virtues of his own superior wisdom, it just cries out for someone to take him down a notch.
