HondoLaneNJ: Hmmm...the same Michelle Obama who has never had cause to have pride in America until her own husband was nominated for prez?

That's the *only* thing she should be proud of? There is absolutely *nothing* about her country to be proud of if her husband isn't the presidential nominee?

I wonder if she would she be prouder if she were a citizen of Darfur.....


you mean this?


"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Later that evening she reworded her stump speech in Madison, Wisconsin, saying "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

Skybow: That old horse has been beaten almost to death and was taken out of context, what she actually said was:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,331288,00.html

Speaking in Milwaukee, Wis., on Monday, she said, “People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”

Greeted with rousing applause after making the comment in Milwaukee, Obama delivered an amended version of the speech later that day in Madison, Wis.

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country … not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” she said. “I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment.”

Lots of stuff can get twisted around and does, especially in elections. It's just more smoke and mirrors, so you gotta like magic shows to really appreciate this kind of politics.

McPain? He wasn't smacked down by the republicans! He was smacked down by Kerry and his cronies!

No Hondo I was talking about when McPain ran against Bush for the Rep candidate for president.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain_presidential_campaign,_2000

John McCain, the United States Senator from Arizona, launched his first candidacy for the presidency of the United States in the 2000 presidential election.

"Announcing his run for the Republican Party nomination in September 1999, McCain was the main challenger to Texas Governor George W. Bush, who had the political and financial support of most of the party establishment. McCain staged an upset win in the February 2000 New Hampshire primary, capitalizing on a message of political reform and "straight talk" that appealed to moderate Republican and independent voters and to the press. McCain's momentum was halted when Bush won the South Carolina primary later that month, in a contest that became famous for its bitter nature and an underground smear campaign run against McCain....

The battle between Bush and McCain for South Carolina has entered American political lore as one of the nastiest, dirtiest, and most brutal ever. On the one hand, Bush switched his label for himself from "compassionate conservative" to "reformer with results", as part of trying to co-opt McCain's popular message of reform. On the other hand, a variety of business and interest groups that McCain had challenged in the past now pounded him with negative ads.

The day that a new poll showed McCain five points ahead in the state, Bush allied himself on stage with a marginal and controversial veterans activist named J. Thomas Burch, who accused McCain of having "abandoned the veterans" on POW/MIA and Agent Orange issues: "He came home from Vietnam and forgot us." Incensed, McCain ran ads accusing Bush of lying and comparing the governor to Bill Clinton, which Bush complained was "about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary." An unidentified party began a semi-underground smear campaign against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, flyers, audience plants, and the like. These claimed most famously that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCains' dark-skinned daughter Bridget was adopted from Bangladesh; this misrepresentation was thought to be an especially effective slur in a Deep South state where race was still central), but also that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days. The Bush campaign strongly denied any involvement with these attacks; Bush said he would fire anyone who ran defamatory push polls.

During a break in a debate, Bush put his hand on McCain's arm and reiterated that he had no involvement in the attacks; McCain replied, "Don't give me that shit. And take your hands off me."

Fallingman: So let me get this right: The Senator from Illinois is a secret Muslim, has a name suspiciously like Osama, doesn't love America and takes every opportunity to show it, has a wife who thinks America has not yet reached perfection and might have a way to go on that road yet, etc etc. He is probably in favour of taxes for paying for Government, pro-worker rights, pro-abortion, pro-women, anti-Gun and worst of all there is a suspicion he might be black.

I think you are entirely right. How did it come to pass that people like that were even allowed to run for office? They should be run out of town on a rail!

So vote McCain - He's rich, he's white, he's fought in a war - he's one of us! (except for the rich bit of course )

Gosh politics is really simple when you get down to it!

Hot_Single_Dude: I may absolutely admit............

Hillary Clinton made a fabulous speach and by that she made republicans to with draw from their endless provocations about Huge problems amoung democrates becasue of her!

All respect from here to Hillary........she will be a strong part of Obama team as the responsible one for creating a much more fair healthcare affordable by the majority of all human beings living in the United States!

In a sad time where more than 40.000.000 americans living in poverty and in a time where a rich dude who made his money because of the wealth of a liquer maker he even does not know how to Respect in front of others, and because of liberals and because of huge companies which just want profet no matter what happens to the rest of America....... In a sad time where the wealth of America is wasted in a stupied and illegal and murdereus war far from the country and where real terrorists getting stronger day by day.......The forces of unity amoung democrates will be the main weaopn against countinuation of the Bushney,s on power!

GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!!!

Interesting dude...that for 18 month you can call Hillary a witch and not much more.....and in a single night and a single speech, she wins your heart.

Fallingman: I will. I don't know Ruby Ridge but I remember a bit about Waco. Seemed like a complete fiasco but then the Branch Dravidians contributed to that too. Tax compliance was hardly the issue though was it?


Who would David Kourosh support for the next president if he was alive?grin

ttom500: Interesting dude...that for 18 month you can call Hillary a witch and not much more.....and in a single night and a single speech, she wins your heart.


No way I called her a witch.... i described all her dirthy attacks against Obama, her indirect threats against his well being, her becoming too close to McCain and by that indangering the whole democratic party and their way to victory in the November election, her really stupied comments about the assisination of JFK,s brother right after the convention, her many skeletons in the closet and all that was proudly mentioned and of course her nomination would cause endless amount of Champagne bottles opened inside Republican party because she would be too easy to defeat because of what most fo us already know about her past!

But still......I am and have always been certain she will be agreat Health guru for feauter America inside Obama,s team, and I am sure she will get an important position if Obama wins in November.

As the VP.....NEVER EVER she would be good ,specially when Rove and Gjuliani and most other omportant repubes suggested her for that. Just imagine listening to a republican like your self TT about who shall be Obama,s VP ..........NO WAY laugh

I know Obama ruined your party by naming Biden as his VP But as told before......The man knows exactly what to do and he is not silly or green at all wink

Make me beleive he means it when he says:

"I am here First to support Barack Obama .....

My fellow americans......Barack Obama is ready to lad and Restore american leadership in the World"!
