GravatarTHIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS...

FOR JOHN McCAIN!


GravatarThese two are raising obscene amounts of cash. Where can I get a piece of that action?


GravatarSo with a beginning 10 million dollar debt, that leaves her 7.5 million dollars in the red.


Gravatar$2.25M of it loaned from Bubba.


GravatarRachel Maddow just gave Pat Buchanan a slight ass-kicking.


GravatarDid her campaign raise that, or Obama's?


GravatarWatching her speech tonight, I realized I was all clenched up - I usually reserve that for Chimpy's speeches.

I really can't stand to watch r listen to her anymore.


GravatarIs Obama another Michael Dukakis

No. BHO: Better head, better hat.


GravatarOh, cool, new thread. Question: there's one big bump in McCain's way that all the crowing GOP idiots are avoiding...Can McCain afford not to put Huckabee on his ticket? Does anyone think that the fundies consider the second spot anything other than their absolute non-negotiable due?

And don't we have some very entertaining GOP discomfort to look ahead to?

GravatarWell good for her. We look forward to welcoming her here in Oregon. She can go on the Norml People Tour which has a pre-function in Sweet Home where we will do boilermakers and perhaps never make it to Norml People Nirvana, Eugene. I really, really, welcome the 5mill per year bobblehead corp to the tour. Damn, we're gonna partay.

GravatarI'm losing IQ points listening to these commentators. They are going to go night night now.


GravatarIs Obama another Michael Dukakis

Is that the stupidest question ever?


Okay, I'll answer that. Yes.

For starters, when the Dems nominated Dukakis, they nominated the only colorless Greek in the world.


Gravatarwell Obama will be getting more from me in the morning.


Gravatarmaybe she will net 1 or 2 delegates in indiana with that money


GravatarThus she should drop out.


Gravatarya know both of these folks are power hungry politicians but they are each far superior to any repelican. and i can picture hillary kicking mcsame's ass just as easily as i can picture obama doing it. so i really don't get the whole cult of personality thing the left ( of which i thought i was a member since my first peace march in 1962 ) has about obama. just get one of these turkeys over the finish line!!


Gravatarif you're willing to play ball....

I don't know what that means.

https://donate.barackobama.com/pa...? source=mainnav


GravataraRRRGH. She doesn't listen.

Dear Vici,

Thanks to you, we won a critically important victory tonight in Pennsylvania. It's a giant step forward that will transform the landscape of the presidential race. And it couldn't have happened without you.

There will be much more to do beginning tomorrow. But tonight, let's just celebrate the fact that you and I are part of a remarkable community of people tough enough, passionate enough, and determined enough to win big when everything is on the line.

Thanks so much for all you do.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton


GravatarOn July 22, 1948 Gus Hall and 11 other Communist Party leaders were indicted under the Smith Act on charges of "conspiracy to teach and advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government by force and violence." Hall spent eight years in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary.

The U.S. Supreme Court later struck down the Smith Act as unconstitutional.


GravatarEarth Day Paxcast posted.


GravatarGotta go. Goodnight.


Gravatarain't it *amazing* how much lint Hillary can pull out of her pockets when she really needs it?


GravatarAnd so thus it moves on...

We'll be around.

To discuss other forms of communication, that don't carry the heavy backhand of Secretary Rice's moments.

The military is paying attention and so am I.

Tell that to your chief, should you approach me again...

...for more proof of what I mean to your families, and your future humanity.

Secularily speaking, of course.

(You may finish what you need to say to God at this point, I am a son of my father.)


GravatarDoes anyone think that the fundies consider the second spot anything other than their absolute non-negotiable due?

GravatarSo Hillary has donated $2.5 million more to herself?


GravatarDROP OUT HILLARY!!!!

Dood, she's not IN your blog eating your milkshake.


GravatarWhat? did she write herself a check?
fourlegsgood


Yes, she's going to use it to pay her debts.


Gravatar"Clinton campaign sez $2.5 million raised since the nets called the PA race."

So that means obama will have to raise 3 times as much, about 7.5 million, just to lose by 10 points in the next primary. I think he can do it.

Another $100 to obama...


GravatarCan McCain afford not to put Huckabee on his ticket? Does anyone think that the fundies consider the second spot anything other than their absolute non-negotiable due?

I've been saying this for weeks -- Huckabee is guaranteed to be McCain's veep.

And having that fundie wackjob within a heartbeat of the nuclear trigger should scare the living shit out of all of us...

Huckabee actually got 12% in PA tonight (Paul got 16%).

GravatarAnd having that fundie wackjob within a heartbeat of the nuclear trigger should scare the living shit out of all of us

Ahh, something to make the millennialists happy, a nutjob for the end times.


Gravatarhey!

ABC’s ratings drop after much-criticized debate.

Last week, after ABC News’s much-criticized Democratic debate, Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales declared that “the clear loser is ABC.” The ratings for last week’s evening newscasts are now in, and it appears that Shales was correct: “NBC beat ABC by over 600,000 viewers last week — an unusually wide margin for the dueling newscasts.” Huffington Post’s Rachel Sklar notes that “one reason for that wider-than-usual gap” is that “on Friday, NBC beat ABC by 1.1 million viewers — a practically unheard of margin for an otherwise random Friday night.”

steve hussein simels | Homepage | 04.22.08 - 11:56 pm | #

If it's as airtight as you think it is, that ruins my scenario, but I think McCain, AND most of the bigwigs, are way scared of putting Huckabee on.

And their agonized ruminations about it are gonna set off some fireworks in the days leading up to their convention, started by the prideful fundamentalists wackjobs.


GravatarHuckabee has been all over the tv shows lately.


GravatarAssuming the polling is correct that Obama's base is primarily African American and "youth", and HRC's is primarily white male, older women, which base is more likely to vote for McCane?


GravatarMan, this is beautiful. Let this thing go all the way do Denver. Break down the Super Duper Delegates, one by one. Hey Super Dupers, we've got room on the bus thru Oregon.

Cool.


GravatarRachael Maddow shouts out to A-man!


GravatarHey, Rachel's talking about the Friedman unit!


GravatarOoh, Atrios shoutout! Rachel is so my girlcrush...


GravatarRachel just referenced Atrios coining the term "Friedman Unit."

We win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GravatarRachel just called out Atrios!


GravatarATIOS just got shouted on MSNBC!!!!


GravatarWhoa! Rachel name checks Atrios on the Friedman Unit!


GravatarSenator McCain, does this indicate that there is something horribly wrong with continuing to fight these wars, or is it a positive because the trend is reducing the number of cowards and defectives in our society?


120 x 52 = 6,240


GravatarI wonder how much of Hill's $2.5M was 'raised'....

Yesterday:
Wolfson: Mr X, can we count on you for $1000?
Mr X: I'll let you know after PA.

Today:
Wolfson: We won! Put Mr X down for $1000....

GravatarRachel Maddow just gave Atrios a shout out on MSNBC. Pretty cool.

HOLY SHIT. Rachael Maddow just called out Atrios.


And he voted for Kodos.


GravatarAnd she's right: there's not going to be a decisive vote. It's always going to be 'the next primary' until the superdelegates stop sitting on their hands.

GravatarRachel Maddow just mentioned Atrios on MSNBC... We have a famous blog host now.

Gravatar"So we have you on record as predicting that HRC will win North Caronlina by ten points?

That's what ya call a stretch but I’ll stretch. We'll see. Who would have predicted Hillary would raise $2.5 million in a couple hours [reportedly 80% new donors]? Indiana the same day as NC? Very doable.


GravatarUmmm.....did somebody mention Atrios?


GravatarRachel, Rachel, when you gonna say "Chicken Caesar and his Assclown Posse" or "Butt-Gas Caliope"?

Yeah, according to Wikipedia there are about 800 unpledged delegates, so the House would be a significant chunk of that. Not a majority, but the biggest bloc?


GravatarSuper delegates are House members and Senators, and governors and party big wigs and poobahs.


Gravataractually, the Friedman Unit has been in Wiki for a while now. And yes, credited to our Atrios

GravatarI still don't understand, if Dean works out a negotiation on Michigan and Florida by June, how Clinton can use the nuclear option.


GravatarOkay, Atrios: 'fess up.

You arranged that with Rachel, just to ensure that no-one will ever delete the F.U. from Wikipedia, didn't you?


GravatarG'night, all.

I'll be 59 years old in about 7-1/2 hours, and I need to get ready!

This ongoing primary battle is tedious and tiring, but we're learning a lot about what to do, what not to do, and how to wrest power back from the ReThugs on local, state, and national levels.

So, this whole mess may be worth it, in the long run.

I am tired of the pundits and the campaign advisors, though. More than annoying and unhelpful.

More about what we've learned tomorrow -- no doubt at the end of a dead thread, as usual.

Love you all. Except the trolls.

GravatarThe Grey Lady unendorses Clinton?

The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.

If nothing else, self interest should push her in that direction. Mrs. Clinton did not get the big win in Pennsylvania that she needed to challenge the calculus of the Democratic race....

It is getting to be time for the superdelegates to do what the Democrats had in mind with they created superdelegates: settle a bloody race that cannot be won at the ballot box. Mrs. Clinton once had a big lead among the party elders, but has been steadily losing it, in large part because of her negative campaign. If she is ever to have a hope of persuading these most loyal of Democrats to come back to her side, let alone win over the larger body of voters, she has to call off the dogs.


GravatarNow, lots of fun.
Simels is right.
The convention is going to get violent and ugly.
We've been WARNED about how aggressive the Obama Delegates are.
They have evil partners:
MoveOn, Code Pink and the Democratic Base.
Be Warned.
They might tickle the Clinton delegates to death.


Gravatar96% in, 55-45.

We'll see about the delegate count when all the rats are killed - Clinton has some underestimated strength I think with the 200,000+ margin.

Actually, no. There are studies showing their outcomes are much, much better than the country as a whole...at least it was true before this bloody fuckup of a war.
Their problem is they've been starved of the resources they need for the extra burdens of this war.


GravatarIf any texas delegates try to switch sides I am going to personally look them up and put my boot up their ass

Super delegates might switch, but the people who sign up to be delegates are the most committed supporters, the CLinton people are wasting their time, but it shows how desperate they are.

Texas has received all the money it is going to from the DNC until it decides to act like a real political party, and not like spoiled children.

If you are really this angry about it, you are the perfect type of person to, basically, stage a coup.

The moneyed interests in the State are keeping this lackadaisical leadership in the TDP. A serious challenge needs to come from below, and it needs enough passion and anger to throw the bums out.

Blaming the DNC for our ills here, is only addressing the symptom. Not the disease.

We've heard everything from so and so getting laid to someone else's cancer surgery....for example. The irony is that I've never talked about my personal sex life...I've just talked about sex, in general.

I have never asked anyone to comment on my personal/sex life here, and there seems to be a group think on occasion that pushes the issue. (Some troll will find something in the archives, no doubt...)

God, sometimes I hear the same things from different angles several times.

Just sayin', and not that that matters.

One of my favorites. Her recording of "Get Out and Get Under the Moon" is one of the best recordings ever, for my money.


GravatarWhat awful things to say! But at least John "100 years war" McCain and Hillary "Bush has made his case on Iraq" Clinton, unlike Barrack Hussien Farrakhan Hamas Weather Underground Obama, are qualified to be Commander in Chief

The former North Carolina senator criticized Obama specifically for referring to Ronald Reagan as an agent of change in a newspaper interview. “I would never use Ronald Reagan as an example of change,” Edwards said. “You think about what Ronald Reagan did, to America, the American people, to the middle class, to working people. He was openly, openly intolerant of unions and the right to organize."
In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, Obama said that Reagan “changed the trajectory of America,” and said Americans “want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship.” “I could promise you this,” Edwards said. “This president will never use Ronald Reagan as an example.”

GravatarTacitus Voltaire, you said:

i don't really agree with that.

That's fine, I'm really not in a mood to fight or disrespect a differing opinion. But I am very upset at the way Hillary has run her campaign. These things matter to me. It's late so I'm almost done here. But I'll sketch it out a little bit.

It's just horrifying to see a Democrat using the such bad RW methods on another Democrat. And I'm not saying Obama is perfect but I haven't seen him using such relentless and careless guilt by association, or the kind of tsk-tsking snark you hear on a RW radio about "unAmerican" associations or for God's sake - using the very same RW rags which tried to usurp his husband's election, but this time - she's using them against Obama. (I'm refering to her talking to the Scaife paper about Wright and the use of the American Spectator smear about McPeak, there.)

The debate was almost unbearable last week. I came to really admire Hillary and I damn near voted for her.
I've lost a great deal of respect for her. And again, I think her methods will have a long term negative effect on the party's chances. Add to everything, she's a long shot. We're talking about smearing the front runner.

Trust me on one thing - the things people are throwing off here are nothing to worry about right now. People want this damn thing to be done, already. They're frustrated, for a variety of reasons. Hillary's the one doing the potential damage and I don't know if it can be undone enough.

.


GravatarWe know the strengths and weaknesses of these candidates. We know what demographics they win against one another and what demos they lose. About half the Democrats in the country like Clinton and about half like Obama. She's from the Northeast and he's from the Midwest, and they get a tilt in their favor in each of those regions. He can't knock her out because she's really good at campaigning, and she was swamped by him early because he's really good at campaigning. The level of competition is far higher here than it will be in the fall against John McCain, actually. So the superdelegates can make their choice. They could make it today.

And I agree with Stoller, we're going to be fine. Democrats forced a runoff, and came within a hair's breadth of winning, in a seat in the middle of Mississippi (MS-01) tonight, an R+10 seat. The "Clinton/Obama voters will vote for McCain if their guy doesn't win" polling is about as relevant in the middle of a hotly contested primary

Obama lost the plot in the last several weeks, and Clinton capitalized with a faintly divisive, but strong campaign. Obama needs to get back on his feet in two favorable states. He has not lost a single state that shares a border with his home state of Illinois (Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri). His speech tonight was pretty much a replay of his 2004 DNC keynote, and he's trying to return to the themes on which he won early. If he wins those two states it will be very significant. But the superdelegates need to come out from under the rocks where they're hiding and end this.

GravatarHi folks. I think we should change the topic to more fun stuff. Like Torture.

I've been thinking about doing a project regarding torture, and it might get "media" coverage but the media coverage isn't the goal.

I want people who support torture to lose donor dollars from their religious donors.

And then when the people fall all over them selves to condemn torture I want them on record saying that they want people involved in torture to be sent to jail. So that as more stuff gets revealed we will have them on record saying "People who plan for, approve and carry out torture should be punished."

(Kind of like the way that Bush said if anyone leaked they would be punished... Hmmm that didn't help out much maybe I should reconsider) but the of course I always like to have multi-message campaigns because you don't know which part people will be interested in.


GravatarI want people who support torture to lose donor dollars from their religious donors.

Source: Baltimore Sun

Posted April 22, 2008 7:08 PM
The Swamp
by Matthew Hay Brown
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, under fire from House Republicans for failing to contain rising gas prices, is appealing to President Bush for help.
In a letter today, the California Democrat asks Bush to direct the Justice Department to investigate oil cartel price-fixing, authorize the Federal Trade Commission to pursue and punish "price gougers," end tax breaks for oil companies and invest the savings in renewable energy.

"Lastly, your administration must use the authority given to it by the Congress to end market manipulation," Pelosi writes. "We cannot wait to act in the face of these price increases."

The letters appears to be a response, of sorts, to a campaign by the House Republican Conference accusing Democrats of breaking a promise to contain gas prices. Yesterday, they were calling the increase at the pump since Democrats took control of Congress last year the "Pelosi Premium."...

Bush cut taxes during wartime, putting our troops at risk. Bush has done nothing while his patrons in Big Oil have reaped record wartime profits on the backs of the American taxpayer. Bush has cut funding for medical care for wounded veterans to free up money to pay exhorbitant salaries to "contractors" whose companies funnel huge bribes to GOP campaign coffers. But, as Nancy Pelosi would be the first to tell you, criticism of Dear Leader is "off the table."

I actually am pretty sure that I CAN get them to denounce torture. And I think I can get them on record saying it.

It really is what to do when you have it.

I've found that unless there is some sort of consequences people don't pay attention. So that is why I want to tie it to funding or to future news.

I also want to focus on the people who the news makers care about. The don't really care what the Pope says, he had a week here and no body asked him about torture, it was Priest sex all the time. I want to go to the people who are the "moral" leaders of the Bush administration to hear what they think.

GravatarTrolls know that on election night they won't be here doing double back flips so they are getting their silly digs in while they still can. This will go on until a nominee is chosen. Then they will become less and less visible until they lose and we won't see them until after the inauguration of the Democratic president in 2009.


GravatarThe group "Hate Hurts America" is using my techniques and methods and have been sued by Savage in San Francisco.

Someone should really write a book outlining those techniques and perhaps give details about their practical application in real-world settings.

Who, I wonder, could write such a worthwhile tome???

Gaiii.

Well, I admit, I'm feeling a little rosier than I was just yesterday at this time...


GravatarObama outspent Clinton 2.5 to 1 in Pennsylvania and lost by a good margin, and you are mad at Hillary. The simple fact is that the voters of Pennsylvania saw through the Obama facade and decided they didn't like what was on the inside.

GravatarMessage from PA:

Even effete Dimocrats don't like a pussy-whipped man. Billary bitch-slapped Messiah Obama all over the Keystone State, and it's clear Michelle swallowed his cojones long ago...

hence: Billary 55 Messiah 45

only gonna get worse for the Pussy-whipped Messiah..


GravatarHey Trademark Dave what bullet did you dodge?


GravatarWell, I admit, I'm feeling a little rosier than I was just yesterday at this time...

A good B&B?

Actually, he strategically did a great job at forcing Hillary to spend money to stop bleeding support.


Gravatar...what bullet did you dodge?

A big fat financial bullet! It looked pretty grim for Yours Truly... and it's not a good night to be living on the street.

I have to mention this to Walter Neff, who often refers to himself as "the Bank of Dad." I was pulled out of the bullet's path thanks to the Bank of Dad - from beyond the grave!


GravatarWhy bother to argue with Trolls?


GravatarWell I'm happy to hear it.
financial bullets are very scary. I know.

Why troll?

GravatarWhy bother to argue with Trolls?
Duane V,


And why are they celebrating? Don't they realize they have no chance of winning at all with Clinton?

Oh yeah. I forgot. They are stupid.


GravatarNight trademark Dave and everyone else.
Soon our long national nightmare will be over.


Gravatarfinancial bullets are very scary. I know.

It kinda fucked up my big 5-0 bday weekend, that's for sure.

As it is, looks like my usual trip to watch the running of the Derby with some friends in Reno is out... but I'll make that trade.


GravatarBuenos aires, El Spocko.

Time for both of us to figure out how we're making that next million!


GravatarIn 1934, Gus Hall went to Ohio's Mahoning Valley. Following the call for organizing in the steel industry, Hall was among a handful hired at a steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio. He was a founding organizer of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC) and a leader of the 1937 “Little Steel” strike, so called because it was directed against Republic Steel, Bethlehem Steel and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, as opposed to the industry giant U.S. Steel, which had previously entered into a contract with SWOC without a strike.


GravatarWell, I admit, I'm feeling a little Rosie...

Is that you Chris Matthews?


GravatarWake up: Obama has serious negatives that are of his own making; Hillary didn't invent them. How could he spend 20+ years in a church with a racist pastor and then say he didn't know what was being preached from the pulpit? Could any other politician get away with this? How about lying about signing the gun control survey that said he wanted to ban the manufacture and sale of all handguns?

How about saying he opposed Nafta while his representative was Canada saying Obama supports Nafta?

How about saying religion and guns are crutches for bitter people? Is Hillary responsible for these disasters?


Gravatarthis may seem picky, but nytimes, wapo, cnn, and msnbc all bestow a "10 point win" to hrc over obama in pa. but the actual vote totals shown on their sites round to a 9 percent win. and the numbers on the official pa results site come out below 9 percent (though round to 9). 10/double digit win is a much better story for hrc. why let the facts get in the way of it?

GravatarGus Hall was arrested for allegedly transporting bomb-making materials intended for Republic's plant in Warren, Ohio. Philip Murray, USWA founding president, once commented that Hall's leadership of the strike in Warren and Youngstown was a model of effective grassroots organizing.


GravatarThe fact is that Obama will never be elected president. I suspect we've just seen the tip of the iceberg of his negatives. I think there is a 50% chance that some new information will surface that is so damning that he won't get the nomination.


GravatarMessiah GodDamnAmerica Obama:

Just too pussy-whipped for the Presidency


GravatarGoodness - these trolls are scared witless about the upcoming Democratic government.

Teh funny.

How much do you want to bet?

Is that you General McCaffrey?

So how in the hell can everybody run around yelling "double - digit lead!!"
