Clinton booed for change you can xerox line.
NOW? we start getting sensitive?
Question: What do they mean when Obama supporters answer back,"Yes we can" at his rallies?
Yes we can what?
Change!! That’s what they mean! You know, Obama IS the agent for change. Last year, Obama thought Democrats needed to get closer to God. This year, he drew parallels between himself and the upward trajectory of America during the Reagan presidency. If you disagree, your partisanship is part of the problem. That’ll have to change too. He also wants everyone to come together. He’s literally asking people to “change,” but not necessarily including himself. The change Obama apparently wants is for everyone to change into something HE can identify with. People are complying "Yes We Can!"
After I had this epiphany, I immediately voted for HRC in the Wisconsin primary.
Regardless, Obama and Clinton have their differences but it's not so much on the issues. That makes it look like the harsh criticism and media negativity against Hillary is more personal than anything else. Republicans HATE her guts because she's a Clinton. No matter, I will strongly support whoever wins the Democratic nomination.
McCain Runs Away From Challenging Story
The NY Times article that got McCain's underwear all bunched up had less to do with a romantic affair and more to do with exposing McCain as a fraudulent crusader against corporate lobbyists. The Times themselves never really suggested McCain had a affair and actually spent little time on it in the story. They only reported on allegations of the potential of one from McCain’s own campaign advisers. What the article did achieve through a loosely contrived history of his exploits was that McCain had a cycle of dabbling in corporate cronyism and somehow attempted to balance it with a cycle of half-hearted lobbyist reforms.
The worst part of this is perhaps the usual sexist overtones we’ve come to expect from the traditional right-wing. That is, a female lobbyist can only be good for one thing. Right? Would McCain’s campaign team have warned this lobbyist away if a man? I doubt it.
I’m convinced that the phony conservatives base want to dump McCain now, while there's still time. Unless something unforeseen happens, they probably sense McCain is going to get whomped in the general by either Clinton or Obama and must figure there is still time to change the course. If the NY Times story was truly a (L)iberal plot, they would have held onto this for an October surprise, it would seem.
And I was surprised to see the credible NY Times use anonymous sources for such a story of high importance. We see plenty of that kind of journalism here in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the potential is that McCain's documented history of corporate cronyism will be judged false by association with the more dubious affair. Nevertheless, it was interesting the way McCain reacted to it. He’s done answering questions, so drop it, will ya'?

Wisconsin Republicans Wash Hands Clean Of Budget Deficit
Kanavas: Now What?
Kedzie: Blame Democrats
Both Wisconsin legislators seemed to have conveniently forgot they were part of the state budget negotiated by their Assembly Leader Mike Huebsch.
In the face of a projected $650 million state deficit, Kanavas asks, "What is the governor going to do now? These two wise men should put their words into actions with the cuts they propose. Nobody is stopping them from walking into County buildings, city halls, town centers and school boardrooms within their districts and ask for pledges. You know, they can ask the local officials how many jobs they are willing to cut and how many senior programs they can do without. They can ask the agency heads how many will sacrifice their state health care insurance and pension plans, and which school programs they can cut for their version of prosperity. They could ask which roads they will no longer plow, and which teachers will be cut, which school lunch programs and social services to cut and on, and on and on. The list is nearly endless.
When they're done, they can hand the list of job cuts and money pledged from their districts over to the governor to help shore up the the state budget. After all, most of these are the cuts they held out for in the first place, and besides...it's their job.
Hysterical Trade Talk
“We don’t have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands.” – Mao Zedong, Chinese leader attempting to barter the country’s women during trade discussions with the U.S in 1973, according to a document released Thursday by the State Department historian office.
And here we thought American businessmen scampered off to China so they can manufacture more affordable goods to save us money. HAH!
Ever wonder why the corporate controlled GOP (l)iberal media has been relatively soft on Obama?
Spending 5 times as much on advertising couldn’t possibly have anything to do with it.

I don't think conservatives are sexist at all. Once they leave home they will make passes at men,women and minors without prejudice.
You're no only called partisan, if you are African American you receive death threats or harm to your family.
This guys another GW with vengeance. We have done this I'm a Uniter thing before, and it turned out rather poorly.
With Clinton, in the secrecy of the voting booth I would very likely have voted for her, with Nobama there is no way. When he differentiates from Clinton its always from the right.
nailgunner, I'm convinced that the biggest lifestyle hypocrites in the world today are the self-described "conservatives." Not only do we put up with their cronyism, but also their phonyism.
Politically, I support Obama on the issues, but for many reasons I don't turn to politicians for the inner change or spiritual up-lifting and inspiration occasionally necessary in life. Obama seems to have that preacher GW personality superiority and because he's half-black, I fear for his life. I hope we're both wrong.
Thanks for those observations.
