No longer McCain's party That was yesterday's qualifications Grand Slam "No way,no how,no John McCain" The Hillary Factor and why Excellent Choice Nuance v Steadfast Start the real campaign Glad to be back Vacation bound....Destination...Chicago October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 August 08 September 08 John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to go to war with Iran. Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking. Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers? I don’t know. I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner. How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual. Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist have too much influence. I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do with it? I don’t know. This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

Just the facts Kevin James
I have been wanting pundits to do their job;make Republicans and Democrats tell the truth, If they don't, call them on it. Kevin James is a right wing talk show radio host from Los Angeles,obviously,using Republican talking points instead of facts when Chris Matthews kept asking him what the Neville Chamberlain reference was about in the president's speech.Kevin James finally admitted he did not know. Please go to UTUBE, and look at this vid clip, because it will remind you of some of the local posters who have their blogosphere labels down pat, but they offer very little substance. Sounds good to the low information reader, but this election is showing a well-informed voter, who will not fall for the usual fear and smear politics. White House spokesman Dan Perino has said the president was not talking about Barack Obama when he invoked Nazis and the actions of Neville Chamberlain into a 60 year anniversary of the founding of Israel speech. If anyone believes that, I have the Guadalupe River bridge I will sell them pretty cheap. This tactic backfired, especially since the Defense Department's Robert Gates is having diplomatic talks with Iran as we speak. This tactic was meant for the Evangelical end-time prophecy Christians(Pastor Joghn Hagee) and, to cause skepticism among the Jewish voters, who usually vote for Democrats. Yesterday, John McCain jumped on the bandwagon saying pretty much the same thing,the president was implying. Thanks to this 24/7 news cycle a two year old news clip appeared;showing John McCain bashing the Bush administration, saying we should have meaningful talks with Hamas. Yet,another flip-flop Mr. McCain.If you remember in the debates,Barack Obama said talks with Hezbollah and Hamas would not begin ,until they seized their terrorist ways, and recognized Israel. The Republican Party thought Obama was easy prey, since he's relatively new on the national scene. Take notice Barack Obama is the only major candidate that has not gone broke, and his campaign will not be swift boated, as you can see by his instant response. This man has shown to be a quick learner,a quality; I what in the next president of the United States. 3 comments from 2 users

Dana PeriNO, isn't she the one that knows so much about the Cuban Missle Crisis? Maybe it wasn't on her cheat notes that she carries into the room with her.

It was so funny yesterday ,when she botched it,so much, that they had to go over her head to ultimate spinner Ed Gillespie to bail her out. First they lied and said they were not implying Barack or anyone else,when that didn't work Mr. Gillespie said the speech was directed at Jimmy Carter......It's a pattern first they trot out their surrogates (Fox,O'Reilly,Hannity) to tout the company line like the US does not torture,when evidence shows up to the contrary, they say oh we did it a couple of times but got useful information. They seem to think everyone is going to fall for the same old scare and smear tactics, Karl Rove has used the last eight years. Speaking of Karl Rove,why is he not in jail? posted by

Well, she isn't too much of a liar, she repeats what the other liars tell her. Uh-oh guilty by association.
