Why did you bring up the train wreck, then. Do you like to rubber-neck?

I'm with you, das2003. It's not a story. We have a nominee.

Yes. I definitely am. Nothing but Clinton surrogate drama all day long on the news. Look at how they are going to milk the JJJ slurs. They are not going to release the entire tape, just leak out bits and pieces over time.

We will probably have more of it leaked in October just before the election.

I am tired of the racial polarization and the blatant McCain bias. No one covers his outright rude crude and lewd comments in the form of 'jokes' where he talks about an 'ape rape' at the height of date rape issues. No one talks about how he calls his wife a cunt. No one talks about he voted to rescind MLK day in AZ, just that he received a rousing ovation at the NAACP. No one talks about his intemperate remarks about women and birth control. The man and what little character he possesses is the antithesis of Presidential. He even jokes aboutkilling people with cigarettes..my GOD..are Americans really considering voting for him to be President? WTF

OTOH, they are out on the news this morning demeaning Obama's character. It is almost like statemanship, integrity and dignity are foreign to Americans that they no longer recognized how true leadership looks. That friggin Scarborough and Tiki Barber this morning had the nerve to say Obama couldn't take a joke, Barber even quoted Dowd (what a source!) saying he was 'stulfyting' because he is unflappable. WTF? Do these people expect it is that same personality crap all over again where they want to make one person the 'fun and likes to hang out and joke' and the other person is a 'stick in the mud jerk who can't take a joke' Never once mentioning that the 'jokes' he doesn't laugh at represent defamation of character. They omit how he goes on DeGenere's and dances or how he calls out Clinton as Annie Oakley or even does 'brush my shoulders off'...is the real point they refuse to accept that he jokes APPROPRIATELY!!! That he does not embarass himself or the nation with his humour and just one of the guys hangin out actions?!

I am so sick of this press tearing down and characterizing the Dem nominee at this point in the election...they have nothing of substance on Obama so they are going to caricature him as the worse person you would want to be with socially while making McCain into 'just a guys guy' and one who can 'take a joke'...even when McCains jokes typically have ethnics or women as the butt of the joke?!

That is just what the country has now in the White House with frat boy Bush..guess folks like Scarborough and Barber haven't had enough of that ribald potty humour so they wnat more of it with rebel McCain the complete military failure. When the military won't put you in positions of leadership despite you being a legacy of TWO admirals and a Navy Academy grad, I say that is enough proof that he is piss poor material for Commander in Chief and leader of anything let alone Leader of the Free World.

Give. Me. A. Break.

There's a difference between tough and dirty. There are many tactics Republicans employ because they care about winning power but not about havng support from the people for their policies once they've won. The country would not be better off if Democrats did the same.
