CNN

Giuliani is an idiot...remember his buddy Kerick? talk about judgement.

Can you deliver??

THIS BOZZO NAMED GIULIANI SHOULD BE NAMED THE GREATEST LOOSER OF THE CENTURY.
WHAT KIND OF GOURAGE IS THIS. HE SHOULD DISSAPEAR AND ENJOY THE MONEY HE CHASHED IN FROM THE GULF COUNTRIES.
EVEN BETTER, HE SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

rudy g. is a joke! before he critisize anyone he should try to figure out which one on his cousins he would like2 date. he's nobody. he was a washed up mayor before them planes hit! remember that america! he just happen to be a mayor at the right time. he prabably go2 bed everynight an praise bin ladin! cause if it wasnt4 "old bin " nobody would no who this "ex-mayor" is!

McCain camp threatening edgier speeches tonight? ha! ha! I'm sorry, but this is just sooooooooo pathetic I can't even put it into words. The Republican's edgier? Someone pick me up off the floor, I'm laughing so hard. The McCain camp doesn't have a clue what "edgier" is if it was staring them in the face!!!

The circus of clowns is about to come out tonight. Everyone is banking on Sarah's speech. Talk about pressure....and another "gamble" by the McCain camp.

A bunch of wrinkly grumpy old men (a la Paris Hilton)......Fred Thompson, Joe Lieberman, Rudy Guilliani, Mitt Romney........All losers......literally. Isn't anyone on this crew under 70 years old?

We don't need edgier speeches from these bums. What we need to here is why over a million of Americans lost their homes because of foreclosure.

Republican voting for Obama/Biden 08

so more bashing bashing and even more bashing

any new ideas?

how are you gonna fix a broken washington?

I'm quite curious how the repugs whom had office for 8 years plan to get the country on track

"Even edgier?" Somewhere between a nap and a coma?

Where is Vice President Cheney? I'm sure he would enjoy hearing these "even edgier" speeches tonight, and even love to deliver one!

But I see he is on a "scheduled trip" to three former Soviet republics. Surely he could have adjusted his "busy schedule" to include a day at his party's own convention! Pres. Bush could also have flown to St. Paul for a few hours last night. Or is it possible the GOP does not want to admit that McCain is the heir and continuation of the Bush/Cheney policies?

Meanwhile the majority of viewers will be watching Obama's interview on Fox Thursday instead of McCain's acceptance speech.

Oh Oh...I feel more fear mongering by the republicans coming our way tonight. Really is getting very boring, but what else do the republicans have to offer? They certainly cannot talk about the enormous issues facing America, as they are the ones who just about brought America to her knees. Hypocrites..each and every one of them!

The GOP party has really aged, this man looks old also. The GOP needed to infuse young republicans into this convention, so far I have only seen 60 somethings speaking each night about service, no change, no direction on the Country, and no plan to bail America out of it's financial woes, just service. Service to do what????? Fight more wars????

So the CEO of ebay is giving a speech? TIme for all Obama supporters to boycott ebay.

Rudy, you are just about as important as Fred Thompson (the real celebrity in this election). No one cares about what you have to say. Talk about empty retoric. Blah blah blah 9/11. blah blah POW. blah blah be afraid. I AM TIRED OF BEING AFRAID AND SO IS MOST OF AMERICA!!!!

edgier?

wow... more lies more saber-rattling... more "red-meat" More bullying & diflection?

what's wrong here? how about more substanitive?

-V

Guiliani needs to learn on how to be faithful. I hope he doesn't speak on moral values because, Rudy and John don't know the meaning of good moral values.

Did you notice they are both former? Go figure!

But didnt the republican break it?!
So why would you want them to fix it?
They have a hard time focusing on the issues during an election (when its all about issues) can you imagine the white house-we'll be talking war & war & more war & did you know–MccCain was a POW!
If poosible he is worse than bush-very 1 dimentional-can only talk about the war & drilling oil (which is the only reason republican go to war for-there prescious oil...Vote Jed Klampet!

"With a critical look at Democrats, the speeches will address "why Washington’s broken" and how Republicans "must fix it.""

Haven't the republicans been in power 8 years? Aren't they the ones who are responsible for the mess we're in? Republicans are still in power, and if they really wanted to fix the problems this country faces they would have done so already.

For me. What I am going to choose is only between more liberal-Obama and less liberal- J McCain. Mitt Romney even didn't make through primaries just because he is a momon. Had he been chosen the VP, you can imagine how McCain could have been smashed. Anyone on the earth care about qualification!

is Carly gonna talk about how she got ran out of HP for almost destroying a fortune 500 company?

I wonder if Guiliani is going to mention 9/11? I wonder if Huckabee is going to talk about abortion for 65 hours.

So far this has been excruciatingly boring. Thompson showed why he was such a pathetic compaigner. It didn't help that some guy was screaming Yeah! Yeah!, each time they rose to clap and cheer.

I agree thet don't seem to be focusing on the economy as much as attacking BO.

It takes one adulterer to know one adulterer.. this is the value that John McCain's party is proposing....

Infedility, teen pregnancy... ENOUGH!!! where does it stop.

The Republican argument that Sara Palin is more qualified than Barack Obama because of her “Executive Experience” as a mayor or as state governor is so flimsy that it is laughable.

Senator Obama has been running a presidential campaign about as long as Sara Palin has been Governor of Alaska. It's a lot harder to run a presidential campaign than a state. Let me explain:

An incoming Governor inherits a fully functioning infrastructure which includes staff, office buildings, department heads, computer systems, procedures etc. He or she then has to run the existing bureaucracy and try and improve upon it. The Governor has a steady stream of money in the form of taxes & other state revenues. The Governor has to travel around the state from time to time. Most often a Governor does not have to deal with daily attack adds from the other political party.

When starting a Presidential Campaign there is usually no infrastructure in place, no staff, no offices, no procedural policy, etc. It all has to be created from scratch. A Presidential candidate does not have a ready-made cash flow and therefore has to find ways to raise money. A Presidential candidate has to travel to fifty states, not just one. He or she also has to deal with daily attack ads, especially if he/she is running against the Republicans.

Barack Obama came from nowhere, put together a highly successful campaign and convention, has tons of money in the bank and he beat the much touted “Clinton Machine”
If that is not Executive Experience, I don’t know what is.

It’s funny that Rudi Giuliani was repeating almost word for word the “Executive Experience” argument all the other Republican talkingAIRheads are reciting from the same prepared script. He was a successful mayor (infrastructure) and a total failure as a Presidential Candidate (no infrastructure).

A State Governor deals with state issues. A State Senator sits in Congress and deals with national and international issues and has access to the President. So who is better prepared to deal with the nation and the world, a Governor or a Senator? Obviously a Senator.

Some of the Republican talkingAIRheads have gone so far as to suggest that Sara Palin has Commander in Chief experience because she can call out the National Guard in Alaska. Or because Alaska is close to Russia therefore she has international credentials. How about believing because she has governed Alaska for a year and a half that she has an energy policy for America?

Give me a break, how flimsy do the lies and exaggerations have to be before even a fool sees through them?

While all of this political talkingAIRhead BS is going on Barack Obama is diverting all of his campaign donations to the Red Cross and about sixty other charitable organizations of your choice to help the hurricane victims.

So money talks and BS walks.

OBAMAFOREVER

You know, I actually watched some of the Republican convention last night trying to be open-minded and at least listen to what they had to say. All I learned is that I am not part of their club and their America is NOT the America I want to be a part of or believe in. According to them, I am not a true American, I am not a patriot. I wanted to scream! I totally disagree with the direction this country has taken and the direction that McCain and his ultra-conservative VP want to take it – IT DOESN'T MEAN I DON"T LOVE THIS COUNTRY it means I don't love the current administration!

I want them to talk about what they are going to do to fix this mess that the Bush administration has made. The economy, Iraq, etc. I want to hear what they're goals are and how they plan to achieve them. All I ever hear them do is bash the other guy which tells me one thing – THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN other than what we're already doing and God knows that's not working!

I wonder if, a decade from now, when this country is far more estranged from the spirit and ideals with which it was once inseperable and the artiicially maintained economy inches closer yet to total ruination, if those who commented here will look back upon their dogmatically inclined beliefs, their specious reasoning and accept responsibility for the destruction of their immaculately conceived republic, or rather as now, if they will continue in their delusions that it is their leaders who are to blame. You, who, cheer and condemn what is not yet uttered, will through your enthusiastic ignorance only serve as your adversaries best advocates and perpetuate the problems this country current struggles with.

Tim Moore said" You people should be ashamed. I will never watch CNN again and I ma hearing that from a lot of people here at the office. "

Tim, this is a catastrophe!!! We're all just crushed.
Well, somehow we will try to get through this anyway.

Of course they have to take the low road. Republicans have nothing to run on. George Bush has ruined our standing in the world and his policies have made life miserable for the part of the population that is not rich. John McCain follows the same destructive policies. The POW card that he plays whenever he can has become a joke. If anything, we should be demanding to know what psychological damage has been done to McCain because of the trauma of being a POW. Obviously it has contributed to his anger problem and his poor judgement. So, to keep the focus off of McCain, they have to lie about and smear Barack Obama. Also, I think they are so fearful of what corruption will come to light by a democrat winning the election that they have to fight for their lives because so many crooks will be exposed.

NObama...the NO is for no experience...come back when you get some because your ticket is backwards...OBiden...even some Democrats have said it because NObama it worthless.

Biggest difference I can see between the two conventions right now. The Dems say, "We can't afford partisan battles," then spend the rest of the speech on soft, fuzzy stories about their backgrounds. The Republicans say, "We can't afford partisan battles," and then spend the rest of their speech attacking Democrats.

I'm not sure I really like either tactic, but anyway I know which side I'm leaning toward.

I personally watched the Democratic Convention and i was impressed at times, but decided that i needed to watch the RNC as well. I was moved by the way they portrayed Obama's raising, but I have to ask myself the question what has Obama done for IL? He sounds good, but the peopl of IL gave him a turn in the senate and i would just like to know what he has done for them.
Fred Thompson spoke of McCain's backgroud which is nothing but military raising all the way to present. I understand he was a POW and how he was treated and how he stood firm even though he had the chance to leave and go home. Anyone that could do that for their fellow soldiers would do that for me my wife and baby daughter. I am a independent voter that now believe's i will vote for someone that i can know what accomplishments and certain issues that i believe in and the one i trust is John McCain!

Sarah is a Lady. Obama is all hot air. Sure wish Biden and Hillery were on the ticket. but Biden is not enough to make me to vote Dem.
Look at all the hate he produces from his followers. This is like a 3rd world country under a dictator telling you what to think and how to act.
Obama knows she has so much more going for her than all his arm waving and windbag promises that are going to completely Socialize this country and take all your earnings.

Reading between the lines:

Tonight, Rudy Guiliani plans to shatter his current record for using the phrase "9/11" in a single speech. He will also be attempting to break his current records for the words "fear," "terrorists," "American hero," "defend," "safe," and "security."

What else would we expect? The Republicans are following their usual pattern of smear, fear and lies. They are very, very good at it. It got them the White House in the last two elections, and regardless of how badly that turned out, they will again garner a large percentage of the vote in November. Let's hope, however, for all our sakes that they don't convince enough of the ill-informed voters to once again fall for their crap and vote for McCain because things will only get worse if they do. The Republicans had control of the White House and Congress and they got to implement the policies they have been pushing for years. Look where its gotten us. As expected, they will once again use cultural wedge issues to gain votes, because they have no record to run on. Do Not Reward the Republicans with Another Term in the White House!

The GOP makes me want to puke. They have no record to stand or anything positive to say. So much so they have to warn the Media about the upcoming smearfest.

I guess it would sound worse if the all the pundits are shocked and apalled after what they are going to hear tonight. With the warning, the pundits will only be apalled making them seem "liberal" and "in the tank."

John McCain your party is a disgrace and you do not deserve control of any branch of government.

Rudy Giuliani, John Mc bush ,how many marriages between the two of them , not to mention the times Judith has tied the knot, or should I say Knots....
These so called social hypocrits make me Sick... If you can`t trust these clowns with upholding their WEDDING VOWS ,how can we trust them with running our crountry ?
And that Pasty haired Mitt Romney , he changes his convictions on a subject so fast it`s unblieveable..... Mitt wanted to be president too , Commander in Chief,... He wanted to command our sons and daughters in war but when it comes to his Five Sons , the only service he asks of them , is Help Me become President, and that will be service enough....
Theres no shame in these people ,and no lengths they`ll go to......

I grew up in NY as a democrat, and I've always like Guiliani. But I must say, he's the only Yankee fan I hate. Keep pandering.

Who is he to talk, he could not even win In Florida. His speeches did no good there, dont think his speech will do no good to night.

McCan can see right through Mr. Empty Suit. Sit back and watch the pro's take aim.

I can't wait to hear Huckabee's speech. It will probably be the best speech of either convention.

Ok, some 9/11 talk well im sure alot. i cant stand this man i dont know how he was mayor of my city for so long,lol. yes i seen some interviews with him yesterday and he was very edgy when talkin bout obama. but today he was lost for words at an interview with cnn earlier maybe they have it on the site,funny how he compares a city of 8million compared to a town of less than 600,000.. i love CNN!

Vic September 3rd, 2008 3:14 pm ET

"Edgier my foot, the republican speeches are basically LIES.
And Rudy will mention 911 a zillion times."

The democratic speeches are LIES as well, just a different angle...please let the government take care of all of us. You are not at all responsible for yourself, the government will take care of it.

T E L L---U S--–A B O U T--–C H I C A G O ' S----–

P U B L I C--H O U S I N G--S L U M S---O B A M A--

H E L P E D---T O--–C R E A T E

What is really going to be funny is how few people will be watching McCain's acceptance speech Thursday with it being the opening night of the NFL season. Good timing.....

Oh yay! As if yesterday didn't look enough like a klan meeting....

Yes, the [R]ightwing attack dogs will appear tonite. Note the irrelevancy of those who will speak at the RNC tonite. Their neo-dimwit messages didn't even gain traction within the warped [R] electorate, so they lost out to McCain who has gleefully told us he is a 90% clone of Bush.

So what's the job of the irrelevants tonite? Attack, Attack, Attack. As always, they have nothing cogent to say to the thoughtful component of the American electorate concerning policy or where America should be heading on the issues confronting it. That approach would be a SURE loser for them; so they revert to attack and fear to garner the vote of the vacuous bottom feeders among us. They hope once again that 51% of those voting in Nov. will leave their brains at home and vote based on the [R] fear and loathing demagoguery.

Mayor who?

“It’s red meat in the sense that it’s a very strong argument on why McCain is the better choice”

No, it's red meat in the sense that after eating it up, the RNC should get a collective colonoscopy.

My name is Rudy.......9/11, 9/11
Support John McCain........9/11,9/11

He will help us stop another 9/11, 9/11

And we should bomb Iran........9/11,9/11

Barack Obama is bad.........9/11, 9/11

I hope so. They've been putting me to sleep so far.

Yes. We need these important speeches to expose Barack & Biden. Whole media is talking sweet of them and covering them. This includes you CNN.

So Mr. "A Noun, A Verb and 9/11" makes an entrance~!! Wonder how many times he mentions 9/11 this time around....? McCain/Palin, nothing but "Fear & Smear" and an idiot former mayor!!

Yeah right. Republicans are going to talk about economic issues. As if they understand it. If they did, we would'nt have been in this mess to bigin with. May be their economic message is for the five million dollar club members.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY WOULD LET GIULIANI EVEN SPEAK TONIGHT WITH HIS ADULTRY REPUTATION SINCE THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN THEME GOIN ON. WHAT A BUNCH OF SINNERS TRYING TO MAKE A CASE FOR ANOTHER OLD ADULTERER. SHAME ON THE REPUBLICANS!

I can not believe CNN and all its correspondents have bashed Sarah Palin as the VP candidate for the Republican Party. It is quite obvious to me that you and all Democrats are desperate and scared to death of this fine mother and candidate with more experience then Presidential Candidate, Barrack O' Bama. You have blown it for O'Bama and the rest of the Democrats. I am from a very strong Democratic family and all of my family including myself will vote for and support McCain-Palin. We were in doubt of which way to go but now its settled. CNN and all its reporters have really lowered its repuatation and what a disgrace of a news agency. How appalling and what a desperate move. Shame on you all. Thanks for helping the McCain ticket to the Presidency.

Like the speech Gov Palin will be reading that was WRITTEN by the McCain staff. Does the word puppet come to mind?

After the brutal liberal media onslaught on Palin, and a stalled start to the RNC, McCain is still neck and neck with Barack Obama. Once we start getting to the meat of the RNC, I think McCain will take the lead. The liberal media obviously won't allow that, and will never put McCain more than dead even with Obama, but most intelligent voters will know the score.

Edgier = more negative attacks on Obama, not talking about issues, and blah blah blah

Good. I can't wait. Down with Wonder Boy!

New Repub buzz words: red meat and surge. How can they fix Washington by selecting people with the same message we've heard for the last 8 years. From what I've read about Palin, campaign spin aside, she has taken earmarks for her town and her state. That's not reform. She's in the middle of an ethics investigation, a serious charge, being defended with taxpayer money. I wonder how the people of Alaska feel about having state dollars pay for her fees and costs? Shouldn't that be investigated as well?

I will be playing a fantastic new drinking game... every time Rudy says 9/11 we will drink. Every time a Repub says Sarah Palin has "executive" experience, we will drink. I expect to go through a few cases of beer by myself. Tomorrows game: every time McCain says "my friends" we will drink... wait, don't want to get alcohol poisoning...

Those speeches are not attractive. They are only showing how much people hateful republicans are.

Obama/Biden 08

Rudi G u were good during 911, now is the time u need to make a retirement speech. No one listened to u during the nomination process and no one will listen to u tonight except for 15,000 in attendance.

So does this mean they still have their American hats on? Or have the put their Republican hats back on? Which are the ones with earmarks?

One adulturer supporting another. Go figure

Is he bringing along the woman he cheated on his wife with? Is he going to tout his womanizer credentials? Will his children suddenly be in the audience to offer "dear ol' dad" their support and applause?

It's always amusing that republicans embrace such a character-less person.

If I were Sarah Palin, I'd consider it an insult even to appear on the same stage Guiliani walked upon.

What I am annoyed with is how this is all about negativity and division. The Reps are nasty hateful people and after such an inspirational and exciting as well as EFFECTIVE Democratic convention I hate that they now have come in and just overshadowed all of that with Republican cynisim.

Makes perfect sense. When you have absolutely nothing to run on but the failed policies of your party and predecessor, all you can do is attack and demonize the opposition. Karl Rove is smiling. How disgusting!!!!!

Here comes the attacks written by no other than Karl Rove. They know why Washigton is broken.....ask Bush about the senseless war he projected us to. He knew that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq and WMD!

Please, tonight will be a joke. Please, leave the experience off the table.

Obama Zombies,

Polls mean nothing – America will not buy the hype in November.

People are just waiting for the chance to cast that vote. The arrogance of the media and Obama is going to bite them.

Or as Obama's "spiritual mentor" once stated "The chickens are coming home to roost" on Obama's head.....

Vote McCain or join the insane....

a verb a noun + 911 = Guiliani's speech. lol

Biden has it right.

Obama/Biden

the mccain campaign spent MONTHS attacking obama's wife, even calling her racist names on national television (fox), but now they are so offended and sensitive to the media going after their VP choice!!

I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!!

let's see if they can take the heat they like to dish out!

The democrats made it easy for the Republicans this year- they resorted to hatred and intra-party vitriol.

DNC dunces.

Let's see How well that strategy works... hate your loyal base... then demand that they toe the party line in NOV.

Some will brainlessly do it... But the sophisticated ones will walk away from such an abusive offer from their treacherous cheating party.

Didn't former Mayor Rudy Gulliani unsuccessfully try to have his former wife and children kicked out of the mayor's mansion because he wanted to move his then mistress/current wife in and make her comfty? Does any of the main players on the Republican platform have a history that doesn't include drugs and booze, corruption, adultry and several failed marriages and divorces ? Have these characteristics become a prerequiste for the evangelical vote? This organization has GREAT American family values!!!!!!

With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished,” Rove said. “I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America.”

Rove continued: “So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States.”

Tim Kaine”s experience:
- Governor of Virginia (pop: 7,643,000) – 2 years 8 months.
- Lt. Governor of Virginia – 4 years
- Mayor of Richmond (pop: 200,123) – 2 years
- City Council of Richmond – 4 years

Sarah Palin”s experience:
- Governor of Alaska (pop: 670,000) – 1 year 9 months.
- Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (pop: 9,780)

--JUST IN: McCain is replacing Palin with Tim Kaine!! --–

Rudy
This should have been your stage what happen ? I know a noun.a verb.and 9-1-1

It'll be like Fantasy Island for Repubs!

Ho did he or Lieberman get on? They are both pro-choice, maybe they can flip-flop for McCain and the conservative right.

Dems. take notice... everything that will take place in Minn. will go down in history as the headliner of the centry. Maybe the Dems can learn from their mistake for future runs at the whitehouse...

Obama is not to be trusted. He has given us an opportunity to watch someone run scared after the convention.

The Dems are already doing this.... Send Obama back to the windy city where he belongs. He will fit right in with the rest of the thugs.

This lifelong democrat is looking forward to it.

The Obama train is losing steam.

Hillary had her hands tied and could not go after the nomination.

The Republicans are not handicapped in that same way.

Go get them.

What about the issues facing America today. McCain has not addressed how he plans to pay for a continued war in Iraq and drilling off-shore will not affect the price of gas today. How will he also address the economy?????

I cant wait until the convention is over and the new poll numbers come out after they get through bashing Barack Obama!!!

Edgier, eh? Well, I certainly hope so! Last night's were snoozers.

Dishonesty! Doesn't that mean anything, the absolute gross dishonesty continually demonstrated by the Republican Party and belligerently over the last eight years should be a blatant cancer on their record, something that makes everyone see everything they say as questionable at best. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me ... and three times ...

I anticipate the "economy" speeches will be brief and to no point.

He needs to replace her with Tim Kaine!!!

I hope their speeches answer some of my questions such as:

Exactly when and why did McCain and other Republicans take off their 'American hats' and put on their 'Republican hats'?

When does their party come before the American public?

During Katrina, which hat were the Republicans wearing? What about when Bush deregulated the lending industry, which hat was he wearing?

Which hat was Bush wearing during his record number of vetos? Does he have a third hat that he wore during his record number of vaction days?

Can these hats be visible so the American public knows when they are being 'Republicans' and when they are being 'Americans'? The disctintion could be important.

DUMB, DUMBER and DUMBEST. So now Republicans see Washington broken and it takes a Hockey mum to fix it.
How many years have Republicans been in the majority in Congress? They are putting the blame on the Democratic congress forgetting we have a president who did not know he has a VETO power until Democrats became majority in congress.
IGNORANTS.

blah, blah, blah.......9/11. Rudy G has nothing to offer, but the republicans drum up anyone who will spread the lies of RNC. Like Lieberman and Thompson.

Edgier.... Does that mean they will be telling bigger lies, distorting the facts even more or just bashing Obama even more? I'm sure it means there will be no intelligent discussion of the issues and McCain's plan to address them.

good thing i have to wash my hair, and pull out my finger nails. i have to do something to entertain myself rather than listen to the fear machine crank up.

here comes more garbage spewing lies.

If McCain wants to talk about the economy, why is he having the woman who basically drove Hewlett Packard into the ground and was forced out of the company up there as some sort of expert? Oh ... right ... female. Forgot about the whole pandering thing.

The speeches tonight should flow nicely from a couple former female CEO's to McCain's running mate, who doesn't believe in equal pay for equal work.

Awwwwwkward.

Reading you Obamabots is scary that people can be so dumb and misinformed on so many levels.

Obamabots are so childish they TODAY RELEASED her social security number (enough of it to easily figure it out).

Sorry bots, Palin has a RECORD of DOING and your "hero" has been running for president since he got in the Senate with no record of anything except voting for giving Doctor's the right to MURDER babies that had the audacity to survive an abortion attempt.

She has been vetted more in six days than Obamabi has in 2 years as Rezco, Ayers etc, etc all prove.

The media was kicked dragging and screaming into reporting on Wright and now ignore his "political Godfather" calling Hilary delegates "Uncle Toms", his staff members picking out Muslim women from photo-ops BECAUSE THEY WERE MUSLIM.

Joe Biden's Son and Brother are being sued for ripping people off and we READ or HEAR nothing about that......

Plagarism anyone, Joe, how about you, you also got kicked out for cheating in college?

The McCain-Bush team have no choice but to go negative. The Republicans have occupied the White House for almost eight years and have accomplished nothing. Since McCain and Bush have no record of achievement to run on, they must attack their opponents with lies and fear.

Republicans run Washington now. They're the ones that are broken how come they only now see this and want to fix it? Before they were happy to go along with the 'broken system'.

It really is surprising to see how some are caught up with the fairytales and whatever the GOP says is right bs. They defend the party regardless of their stance or decisions. Thats the epitome of kool-aid drinkers.

Look forward to at least 4 years of opposition guys. The DNC is taking this one, both the WH and Congress.

"McCain camp: Expect even 'edgier' speeches tonight"

...some with five syllable words in them!

Gonna be more of the same from McCain. He has nothing to offer, no ideas of his own, and he's completely blown any integrity he ever had with his ridiculous VP pick, so all that's left is to slander Obama. That may fire up his base a bit, but I think it's going to turn off everyone else – independents, moderates, etc.

But, go ahead, carry on. McCain's camp haven't done anything right yet, so why stop them now?

I wonder how many times Giuliani will use the None + Verb + 9/11 sentence structure tonight. Per usual I would expect the Republicans to preach about democrats raising taxes and allowing terror attacks sprinkled with some verbiage about retreat and surrender.

The problem when Republicans discuss how Washington is broken is that they are the party that broke it. This is the party that gave six minutes to the sitting president and half of their congressmen did not even attend the convention to stay away from him. If their policies are so strong, why are they running from their administration?

The Republicans are pretending as if we have had 8 years of Democratic administration in which two wars were started, the housing market collapsed, the economy spiraled downward, and energy prices skyrocketed. The problem with that is they were in charge for 6 of those years with a president that hasn't signed a bill in the last two years.

Real political meat and potatoes! Not that whimpy celebrity tofu we saw last week..

"Why Washington is broken and how the Republicans need to fix it"

How stupid are we. It was the Republicans who broke it. God help us. How did this country go so bad in 8 years.

They can say anything. will it be the truth. just because some one says something does not mean you should believe them. Lets remember, they are running on Reform and Change when they are the incumbent. How does the incumbent run against themselves. How do they convince the country that although they have been running things for the last 8 years we are going to fix it now. How are they going to sell they are the people of Change. I saw the convention hall last night. All I saw were a bunch of Old White Men and their wives. Obviously, they don't need change, we the American people do.

The people in that convention center are not hurting economically, so why would they want to change anything?

Why do Republicans want change?

McCain's vise presidential pick is like some sick version of a Hollywood Reality Show. He can't possibly be serious so why the diversion? Is this all the Republicans got?

As an Independant these theatricks drove me away from any possible consideration of McCain as President.

So are you all actually going to discuss the economy and actually talk about the Republicans' vision for this country or are you going to continue to talk about McCain as a POW????

Yeah, I'll bet they're getting "edgy".

McCain/Palin 08 – Ambition First!

John McCain had been in Washington for 26+ years. He and his kind are the problem, they cannot be the solution.

Vote Obama or America will become a dictatorship.

EDGIER? Are these people on drugs? Winning the war in Iraq? Come on – We are sick to death of hearing this. These people have NOTHING new to say. Check out all the CEOs involved in this convention. I hear there is a great gathering of Ron Paul supporters not far from the convention site. You should go check it out.

A bunch of millionaires telling us to "fix" the economy that works for them? I've had enough! I'm voting For Obama even though I am a registered Republican!!

Good to know, because last night was a snooze fest.

This will be the new Republicans....."New Republicans....less sense...more adultery"

Vomit!

I am sick and tired of reading the word "red meat". The republican "red meat" is causing me irregular bowel movement.

Tonight the repugs have
"a critical look at Democrats, the speeches will address "why Washington’s broken" and how Republicans "must fix it."
WORD?! For real? Are you serious? Washington is broken becuase you yahoos have been running it for 8 YEARS! The Dems took a majority in congress but they did not take control. The Senate is still divided and that is where good bills go to die. Republicans are the problem and the only way to fix it, is through the American voter. The American voter must vote Democratic this year if they really want to "fix it"
AND THE REPUGS WOULDN'T KNOW EDGY IF THEY SAT ON THE EDGE OF A LEDGE AT THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING ON THE EDGE OF TOWN!

I wish luck to all of the people who will attempt to look at the GOP convention. I can't stand it

Noun, verb, and 9/11 is all he is going to be talking about and trying to bash Obama. Its the same old tired words they have been using since Obama has been in this race. When you are on top you will get a lot of negative talk to come your way. So since the repugs are not on top anymore they are lost knowing that people are not buying those lies as they use too.

. . . Philanderer!

U.S. Labor Department reports that inflation hit the highest point in 17 years

Americans are struggling to cope with the fastest rise in the cost of living as one in every 464 US households face the real risk of losing their homes as foreclosures rose by 55% in July. Consumer prices rose by 0.8 per cent in July – twice the rate expected.

I tell ya...You know it's getting to the point where you can't even spend 2 TRILLION on Two Wars half way around the world these days without it effecting the economy.

What is the world coming to? Gee Wiz.

-S

Someone count how many times he says 911? I am so not watching this circus.

Wonderful! Just what America needs are more lies, propaganda and inflammatory spin to fix all the catastrophic problems the REPUBLICANs have so effectively caused in this country.

Why don’t you just shut up and go to back to your mansions and huge bank accounts you’ve built up over the past 8 years! (Compliments of the US tax payers!)

Giuliani's speech? 9/11, 9/11 and then more 9/11. GOP is fighting against who??????????????? Bush has been in power for last 8 years.

WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU ALL ARE GOING TO SAY!!!!!!!!!

MOST OF US WONT EVEN BOTHER TO WATCH "TALES FROM THE CRYPT"

MCCAIN WILL PLAY THE CRYPT KEEPER : )

This convention is a total dud. Bunch of old white people. Fred Thompson pretty musch sums up the Republican Party. The past. The old. The rich white oligarchy. Hasta la vista GOP. Your days in power are over.

Go GOP!

See how low the democrats, the party of "Love" can be!

They are so scared right now of Palin that they will resort to anything

God bless this woman she has won my vote

Edgier? Is that your new word for uglier?

"Among the successes McCain envisions, “several years of robust economic growth” and winning the war in Iraq." oh yes and the world is a BIG pizza and if you're on its edge and fall down you will come to the land of milk and honey. Amen.

Oh my gosh. You're losers, why don't you even understand this???
I'm looking for mr. 9/11; Mr. Flipflop Romney, for the little hucka honeybee, and I will love to see Mrs. Georgeine McPalin fail and causing a disaster for the repugs

Note: To whoever the spineless censor is at CNN who continues to not publish my comments – here comes another one! Maybe you can prove you're not spineless and actually print this one. Afterall, you'll look good to all the bloggers who actually think CNN is about fairness and ethical reporting.
Anyway, bottom line on this GOP vs media thing – the person Republicans should be outraged at is John McCain! He put every GOP pundit and delegate on the defensive because he made a horrible mistake in judgement in selecting Palin.
He has shown the nation the destructive and self-serving nature of his maverick behavior. He ignored his staff when they told him Palin would be a mistake. Is that how he will listen to the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
McCain has shown that apparently he thinks he, and only he, knows everything! That's why he's out of touch with the people of America – he doesn't listen!
The saddest victims of his maverick arrogance is the Palin family. John McCain put them in an impossible situation. They should be quietly home in Alaska today eating moose stew.
Instead, the Republicans are trying to cover for John McCain's incompetence and poor judgement. Guess what – when you leave the spin cycle in St. Paul and step out into your home states, you're going to be surpised to learn that the American people already know that McCain screwed this up big time. And to paraphrase another AZ maverick, "In your heart, you know he's WRONG!"

I keep waiting for one of them to slip up and go "Michael Richards" on Obama. You can only hide your true prejudices for so long, after all...It's probably not racial though, after all they destroyed a decorated Vietnam vet with slander and ridicule last time out and he was white (they attacked his wealthy wife too..) HONESTLY, can you DROWN in your hypocrisy? Is that a physical concern?

Well if the speeches do get edgier I hope that Larry King actually allows the Democrats to Respond tonight like he did for the Republicans all last week. I mean all last week all we heard on Larry King was Republican after Republican spouting talking points with no opportunity for Democratic response but this week... Day 1 – Oh the convention was cut short so we have to have Republicans on to defend the Sarah Palin pick... Day 2 – First they wanted to have John McCain on the show; I don't remember Obama being on last week? Then we get to have an Independent, Jesse Ventura, who doesn't support either candidate and didn't even watch the Convention on the entire show so that Democrats have to spend most of their time debating him instead of getting to talk about the lies that the Republicans said in their speechs last night...

For one Obama NEVER voted to withhold funding to the troops. He, and the Democrats, tried to add timelines to the funding but in the end they never kept funding from the troops. If this is going to be your definition of witholding funds then it was in fact Bush that vetoed a bill that would have funded the troops because it had timelines so why don't the Republicans talk about that?

I don’t plan to watch the trash. I gave them a fair enough chance yesterday and all I heard was baseless and untruthful hate. I may tune in at 10pm to see what Ms. Palen (sp?) has to say since I know almost nothing of her.

Good. Take the gloves off and pound the Democrats as payback for how they are treating Sarah Palin. It's sad how they are trying to destroy that woman. Her crime? Being a republican AND a woman.

Word of advice – 'Red Meat' for the Republican audience there is Fire in the Bellies for Democrats and Independents. The best thing they could do for positioning is to walk lightly and give all the substance in the form of policy stances that they can drum up.

From other news sources: "On the eve of John McCain’s formal nomination Thursday at the Republican National Convention, top Republicans acknowledged that Democrats will hold a significant organizational advantage in the fall campaign".
________
Even Republicans like the Democrats style. Sorry Rudy, not even you will cut it. You don't even follow communion rules of your church!

Why arent they talking about this terrible economy? It's all negativity and trying to steer McCain from Bush.

I do not understand their choice of People

Fiorina was fired from HP after a horrible performance.

Giuliani had to quit the primaries fairly early.

Is that all they got?

Giuliani used to act all big and bad when he was the mayor of new york and now is he nothing more than mccain's lap dog. republicans had 8 years to implement their economic policies and they didn't do anything but squader a surplus, put america deeper in debt and tarnish our reputation around the world. This is the Bush and Republicans legacy.

Country First. According the Republicans ONLY the Republicans can be part of their CULT LIKE COUNTRY FIRST CLUB......The edgier they get the more exclusive they sound.

CHANGE??????? BO – null null – otherwise known as Dr. NO!

"CHANGE"......What I Believe BO's Definition of Change Is!

C = COMMUNISM
H = HATRED
A = ABORTION
N = NEGATIVE
G = GREED
E = ELITISM

"Change" is fleeting! Positive and Negative – Good and Bad. Obama's self-serving "change" born from contempt and controversy, is like a wrecker destroying in a day or two, what it took noble builders – our founding fathers – years to construct.

The tale of the sinister scorpion, mirrors BO's blueprint of deceit.

The scorpion, a poor swimmer, asked the turtle to carry him across the river. "Are you mad?" exclaimed the turtle. "While swimming, you'll sting me and I'll drown."
Laughed the scorpion, "If I sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Where is the logic in that?"
"You're right. Hop on!" said the turtle.
Halfway across the river, the scorpion gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly asked, "You said there'd be no logic in stinging me. Why did you do it?"
"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion replied. "IT'S JUST MY CHARACTER."

MORAL – “IT’S NOT WHAT I SAY, BUT WHAT I DO”

LOVE MY USA

I am so THRILLED in hearing Giuliani's speech....pity that just at that moment I will have to take my three dogs for a walk! Such is life!!!!

GIVE THEM HELL RUDY

(P.S.: regards to any of your previous wives)!

More of the same from the GOP. just fear and smear.

"Vote McCain or 9/11 will happen again. Don't vote for Osama. If you do, we'll have 9/11, Iraq, 9/11, Iraq, 9/11, Iraq, 9/11, Boo!, Terror, 9/11, Terror, Iraq, 9/11, Terror, Boo!, 9/11, Terror, 9/11!!!!!!!"

Or something like that.

9/11 (TM) is a registered trademark of the Republican Party. All rights reserved.

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up until now, your speeches have been boring and lukewarm with no substance...unless you can call Fred Thompson's rant on Obama "red meat".
Frankly, if you took away his slightly dishonest criticisms of Obama and reflected on how he presented real issues and the Republican approach to handling them, he failed miserably. Just another has-been looking for 15 minutes of fame.

I don't expect Guliani to do much either except try to be a smart aleck since that's what he does best. Sarah Palin will have her hands full trying to convince people that she has the substance needed to be President when John can't do it any more.

Surprise me please, and talk about the Republican Platform and why you have chosen to support the measures in it. Frankly, I don't believe that your argument about why McCain/Palin is a better choice than Obama/Biden is very convincing. Especially in view of the fact that McCain has a much greater chance of being unable to perform his duties that either Obama. And since McCain has never worked before with Palin (unlike Obama and Biden) and, in fact, has only had a couple of conversations together, I can't see her stepping in, being consulted with or having anything important to do with the McCain administration.

Please prove to us that McCain/Palin are more than "soulmates" and that she is capable of handing the Senate, and Presidential responsibilites. I really don't see it, I don't care how many moose she's skinned or basketball games she's won.

How do the democrats "spoil" the end of the republican convention as the republicans "spoiled" the democratic convention?

Start introducing who Obama cabinet choices. Put the McCain's judgement on leadership on the spot be making him make more picks.

Instead of trying to contrast the two candidates personally, why won't the republicans address the issues the way the democrats did during their convention. As a republican, I really used to like McCain and thought that he would have done a terrific job 8 years ago. However, times have changed and so have my feelings about McCain. This country (and I'm to blame for voting for W) is in critical condition. It needs something that McCain can't give it...a breath of fresh air. That's why this republican will be voting for change in November. GObama.

PS. McCain, Leiberman, Guiliani, et al., you are beginning to look stale in comparison to the democrats. Our party needs new leaders. Hopefully Palin will come out of the campaign a strong enough candidate to run and win 4-8 years from now. She gives this party renewed hope. Unfortunately, when you mix the stale with the fresh, it still smells and taste stale.

The women have to come to the Republican Party where they can be respected for the great Americans they are!

Democrats have done nothing but bash and trash every woman in the race or who comments about the race. It's sexist and very disrespectful to women everywhere.

Hilarious. Washington is broke and we expect the Republicans to fix it? Didn't they break it in the first place?

By the way, when is Giuliani going to repay the taxpayers of NYC the $400,000 in extra security used when he visited his mistress instead of being home with his wife and children? So much for family values.

Look, the big story is the flip-flop of Senator McCain in choosing a person with far less experience in government than Senator Obama.

Personally, I don't think government or whatever experience is the important thing. But what IS important is the fact that one candidate will say or do anything to get elected, and the other is a true straight-shooter.

GO BAMA!

Where is Rudy going to pull the information on OBAMA to show the difference? He never worked in the U.S. Senate, he was never a Governor, so is he going to spread more LIES about OBAMA and then WHINE when the media spread the truth about PALIN? What a joke, these guys just don't get it. No wonder our economy is in shambles and our banks are falling apart.

The Republican part has become the party of lies, fears, and smears.

No person can give a compelling speech that Lisps, I mean Lithspts as bad as Giuliani. A nine year old with a hairlip would be more compelling.

blah, blah,blah, blah, Palin has more exe. experience than Barack Obama. Dang right wing come up with some original stuff. If she have more than Barack, then she have more than McCain as well. Maybe yall should replace McCain with Palin and see how the polls look then. Yall convention is full of old white men, their wives, a pregnant 17 year old young lady, who obviously needs her dad and mom for support and a 17 year old young man being forced to get married. You repubs ought to be a shame of yourselves.

What a surprise report....I am shocked and amazed they would do this (he says sarcastically).

Bush, the worst president in a generation, endorsed McCain–that says it all.

We all know what he is going to say. A noun, A verb, and 9-11' or A noun, A verb, and a Pow

See how ignorant they are, Washington is broken because of the repubs, especially mccain and they are making a case against themselves, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need to try diversity what an audience looks like the KKK... again out of touch come into the 21st century, this country is multi-cultural and all they have is old gray headed white men with no new ideas just scare tactics and attacks guess Palin vetting have them running scared now.... keep it up media its all true unlike their smears and attacks lies lies what a bunch!!!!!!

Noun, verb 911
Noun, verb 911
Noun, verb 911

Oh please Rudy, do tell us once more...

Guilliani, pull no punches and tell it like it is. I can even make a strong argument why Palin would be better presidential material than Obama as POTUS.

FACT: The majority of elected U.S. Presidents have been former governors. Here is one reason: they are accustomed to making executive decisions on a daily basis and they are held accountable. Senators, on the other hand, only deliberate on issues that they want to take a position on...BIG DIFFERENCE, folks. Whether you like it or not, that makes Sarah more qualified to be POTUS than the header person on the Dem ticket....sorry!!! All Obama has done is talk, write and vote "present" on the majority of issues before the State Legislature and spent most of his time as a US Senator running for president, and you fools bought it. (P.S. I voted for Obama in the Calif. primary, but that was before information about him came to light and I wised up.)

Just give me the facts, not the attacks.

How does party plan to fix the problemed economy that was caused by your administration for the last 8 years? You can attack Obama all you want, that doesn't tell me what you intend to do for the American people who so desperately need change.

Attack Attack Attack. McCain's campaign manager has already said that this election is not about the ISSUES and tonight you will see that thought process in full effect. Unfortunatly for the out of touch Repulicans, this election is about the issues. The economy is a mess, we are fighting two wars, kids can't afford to go to college, people are dying from illnesses because they can't afford healthcare and all the Reublicans want to do is attack the person who is talking about issues. The GOP could not be any more out of touch than they are right now. This will play well in the hall tonight but I'm pretty sure that independents will be turned off.

So the republicans are saying the media stories about Palin are a "faux scandal"... From the party that brought you Swift Boating!

The Democrats didn't have to say anything like this to promote themselves! They just went out and gave the speeches!

If someone tells you that you're about to get a surprise, doesn't that dull the surprise a bit? Why would anyone who really had "edginess" announce themselves like this? That's like saying "I'm a charmer, and I'm turnin' it all on for you, darlin'!"... Not gonna work.

And doesn't this announcement give you that "my husband's about to give me a set of golf clubs and a six-pack for my birthday" kind of feeling???

LET THE "RACIST" BEGIN: Dobson's Moral leadership, McCain, Thompson, and Gulianracist

FRED THOMPSON GAVE A REALLY ROUSING AND SPLENDID SPEECH LAST NIGHT . FOLKS GIVE IT ANOTHER TURN AND READ IT. IT REALLY UNMASKED THE DEMS CANDIDATE ABOUT HIS INEXPERIENCE AND LACK OF CREDENTIALS TO BE PRESIDENT . AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE A RISKY CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT A MAN WHO IS SO UNQUALIFIED.
AMERICANS NEED A COMMANDER IN CHIEF WITH EXPERIENCE.
AND THAT OF COURSE IS JOHN MCCAIN

Guliani was joined by his 10th wife, Judith...

No offense, but is there anybody more irrelevant than Rudy Guliani?

So!

Is Giuliani going to tell us how patriotic he is because he was mayor of NYC on 9/11 and he ventured down to ground zero after the attacks. Another two faced Republican fraud.

You people should be ashamed.

I will never watch CNN again and I ma hearing that from a lot of people here at the office.

Wooo EdGy Speeches. Thats it attack! Put do not let the Democrats
attack Palin because that is sexist and mean and she might cry.
Please do not try to imagine Palin facing Putin, you will shudder at the thought.

Hmm... let me guess... dirty politics? What a surprise.

I do expect more edigier speeches tonight.

I expect Ms. Palin to explain herself.

Anything that is said negatively about the candidate of the other party is no more than mudslinging.

However since Ms. Palin has anted up info on her life, she needs to clear up how this makes her a good candidate.

They have nothing to loose by being ediger because with his pick his campaign has become a careless. They had been preaching from day one that Senator Obama had no experience and now he picks someone who doesn't have any foreign affairs experience or national security experience, plus an ongoing investigation, not properly vetting her. When I first heard that he had picked Palin – I honestly thought it was a joke.

"Edgier"–code for more extreme.

Who wants this? The Republican platform is so wacked.

All GOP speakers will be say nothing about the economy, the war, the reckless spending and deficeits by this administration, the corruption of the GOP, the secrecy of this administration, torture, the scredding of the Constitution, and the reputation of the USA around the world.

They will whip the Congress for it's low approval rating, but they won't tell you that it boils down to a 50/50 split in the Senate where the GOP senators are blocking everything. Let's not forget during 2000-2006 the GOP majority led Congress, Exectutive, and Judical branches are the rubber stamp for the Bush/Cheney Administration.

These are some of the things that won't be mentioned, of course "a noun, a verb and 9/11″ will hit a high note……..

OMG – they are going to re-do the crystal ball speech? "By 2013, all is well. I can't tell you how the heck I can ever get it that way, but it will be great!!!!!"

"edgier" isn't the word I would chose; smears and fabrications come to mind.

I am surprised they are allowing the press to cover it. Perhaps it will come with a list of things that can and can not be said on the airwaves will be published to keep the media in line!! What a group of of party first opportunists!!

Republicans' Motto:

- Let's scare people again so they vote for us
- Let's go to war and , and keep spending 10 billions a day in IRAQ
- Let's give the tax cut to the wealthiest among us including Cindy MCCAIN
- Let's choose another Bush and Cheyney like ticket for next 4 years.
- Let's NOT TALK ABOUT REAL ISSUES like ECONOMY
- Let's do negative attacks on OBAMA and BIDEN
- Let's fool people that Palin has real experience and is a voice for Reform although her records shows other things

WOW what a great party to vote for in 2008!!!!

Nobody knows Sarah Palin yet. Even the Republicans and John McCain himself don't know her. This just proves McCain is dangerous with this CRAZY pick. More and more of the truth is coming out on Palin who was picked because she was a so called reformer.

She is not a reformer but rather a fraud due to the following:

-As mayor of Wasilla, population 5700 at that time, she hired a lobby firm to help her get $27 million dollars in federal earmarks from 2000-2003.

-As governor of Alaska the state received $570 million and $200 million dollars in federal earmarks which John McCain is against.

-In 2002 Palin received $4500 from the same firm that has gotten Senator Steven indited for a felony and is under FBI investigation.

-Sarah Palin's gubernatorial administration illegally possessed confidential files of her ex brother-in-law.

-Palin is under a state investigation for abuse of power and recently hired a private lawyer who is authorized to spend up to $95000 to defend her.

Palin is clearly a fraud on the ISSUES she supposedly was picked on.
Where is the judgement now?????

Edgier my foot, the republican speeches are basically LIES.
And Rudy will mention 911 a zillion times.

Don't care....won't be watching. Tired of the hypocracy and lies!

Here's an idea: How about starting your speeches by apologizing for screwing up the country so bad? Or about abandoning fiscal conservatism? Or expanding government? Or engaging in foreign matters that are none of our business? That would be "edgier."

What happened to conservatism? We're supposed to believe that these clowns, who have gone along with Bush and GOP policy for the last seven years, are now going to change their ways?

Here comes the lies and smears from a man who had no buisness running for president in the first place. these kinds of attacks only are effective if the person giving them is credible and this man has been caught lying when the truth would do him better!

Id bet anything that his speech will be FULL TO THE BRIM with fear mongering. please dont listen...

Let's call a spade a spade tonight. Call it like it is. Obama is not ready to lead but McCain is ready.

I guess Biden is lying when he says that obama has experience. And Obama lies through his teeth when he says that McCain doesn't get it.

I am shocked that both Democrats are lying. Biden said that Obama was not ready to lead and I have to agree with him. Joe you can't have it both ways. Hillary said that Obama gave a speech once, but that is not the experience we need for a commander in chief.

Palin is older than Teddy Roosevelt when he became President. And she is a sitting Governor with a budget of billions of dollars. Obama gave a speech once and no budget experience. Palin is a Commander in Chief, but Obama has never even been in the military. He has no experience.

Obama gave a speech once and Biden said Obama was not ready to lead. That is the truth.

Mr. Obama, Let me tell you, "eloquence is no substitute for your poor record." By the way, why don't you help out your Bro who is living in a hovel in Kenya? You live in a million dollar home and he lives in a shed.

Why not share your wealth with your bro?

Nothing is edgier than McCain's ability to view the future at a whim's call. He's like a psychic McGuyver that shakes his right arm up and down like a clockwork nutcracker.

911,911,911,911,911,911,911,911,911,911 did I put enough FEAR in it for you Mc? No. Well how about this POW,911,POW,911,POW,911 how is that my friend? GREAT.

This is exactly what is wrong with our politics. Unfortunately, this backward thinking centered on tearing apart our opponent when we don't have ideas has become central to the Republican argument. We will probably take a giant step back tonight as a nation.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me *****

GOP will emphasize on "how to fix the economy" ???
LMAO !! you must be kidding us !!
Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you

hope they nail this loser..........kick him all the way back to Chicago

Whatever.....9-11 that says it all

Thanks for the warning!!!!!!!! I'll expect nothing less than a much of lies....
Interesting take... Washington broken and it will take a republican to fix it... But wasn't it a republican who broke Washington. No thanks!

Open Letter to Sarah Palin:

Since the members of the Republican party are constantly accusing the Democrats of being sexist. Please outline just what the Republican party calls SEXISM.
See, Sarah I learned last night that I was a member of the “angry left” from President Bush as proclaimed from the White House. So I am not wanting to be confrontational in any way. This poor 57 year old white male left wing-nut, just needs a few updates on the Republican definition of sexism, since I am angry and stupid would you mind if for my record keeping, we called it Republican Sexism Rules V1.01 just so I can separate it from wing-nut V1.00?

So, if I were to make a statement such as:

Sarah, “Show us the smile that won you the Miss Congeniality title in the Miss Wailla Contest” that would not be sexist because it is a fact that you were indeed Miss Congeniality. However, Republicans find such factual statements to be sexist, according to your new BFF, Carly.

Now, bear with Sarah, I am slow. It may take me a time or two to get the hang of the new Republican version of sexism. Here are a few of the Republican examples I have recently observed.

1. Rush Limbaugh when making the announcement of your selection, said that there was now a “BABE” on the ticket.

2. Pat Buchanan on MSNBC last Friday described you as a “GIRL”.

3. Newt Gingrich listed “BEAUTY” as one of your qualifications for VP last Friday on Fox News.

4. McCain after reading your name from what appeared to be a note card, was seen apparently perusing your "resume" when introducing you to the American public.

5. Last night there was a Republican issued, therefore sanctioned, photo of you, Laura Bush and Cindy McCain all in a nice quiet relaxed setting, so nothing would bother your "PRETTY LITTLE HEADS", I am fine with that, but since the other two were spouses, should there not have been a set of testes in your chair by the name of Todd, while you were out discussing rifles with Dick?

So, to recap for me Sarah:

Would you please send me a photo of you in the swim suit competition taken during the Miss Wailla contest? See, there I go again. That is actually a factual statement. I warned you these new Republican sexist definitions were going to confuse me. So, perhaps you should sign it, ’BABE’.
