Quote of the Day

And the crowd booed when Biden mentioned his party’s apostate Joe Lieberman. “My friend — and when I see him I’m going to ask him to go down to the gym with me,” Biden said of Lieberman in what seemed like a vague, joking threat. Biden said Lieberman and McCain have unfairly accused Obama of advocating surrender in Iraq.

Gym. Wood shed. What's the difference?

Once we get 51 seats without Lieberman in the Senate, I want President-elect Obama to order Harry Reid to ditch Lieberman's sorry ass on the sidewalk.

If he doesn't, we'll force him to do what needed to be done as of August 8, 2006.

The Enquirer fires back. Pwnage ensues:

ENQUIRER RESPONDS TO MCCAIN/PALIN
Wed Sep 03 2008 18:19:21 ET
"The National Enquirer's coverage of a vicious war within Sarah Palin's extended family includes several newsworthy revelations, including the resulting incredible charge of an affair plus details of family strife when the Governor's daughter revealed her pregnancy. Following our John Edwards' exclusives, our political reporting has obviously proven to be more detail-oriented than the McCain campaign's vetting process. Despite the McCain camp's attempts to control press coverage they find unfavorable, The Enquirer will continue to pursue news on both sides of the political spectrum."

Uh oh.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.

I dunno, today's quote I think comes from CNN:

In her speech, Palin wants to leave no question about which ticket has a better hold on the economy, aides say.

Oh I think she'll settle that one for sure.

This one ain't bad either:

"Mitt Romney's attack on a candidate's wife is as pathetic as his failed presidential campaign." -

Speaking of booing (none / 0)

Dr. Elena Rios gave a speech on healthcare focused on minority women and children. Oops, wrong crowd. First she started off by saying that in the future, 1 in 3 Americans will be Latino.

GASP, grumbles..

Then she said that women of color have a higher rate of AIDS/HIVs and get ignored more in the healthcare field. That they fall through the cracks and people booed. Then she said that minority children often go without their vaccinations and people clapped.

Are you guys watching this RNC (none / 0)

The past hour they've trotted out 5 Latinos and a black person. There's no theme, they're jumping all over the place; economy (with a bunch of lies on both candidates stances), main st. vs big city, gas, and hitting Obama. Most of the people are reading their speeches as if they've never seen them before. It's oddness.

Lieberman and McCain are just never going to get this. There is no victory or surrender in an Occupation. Those two are just never going to grasp this simple concept. Iraq is not a war/it's an Occupation!
