Will Bill deliver?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There is no doubt the last two-term Democratic president deserves a prime-time speech at the convention. But after Hillary’s big night, complete with autobiographical video, it’s beginning to feel like a Clinton convention.
It will be worthwhile, though, if Bill delivers a rousing speech endorsing Obama and slamming McCain. But will he?

First of all Reality King, Why can’t you people use your real names if you are so much behind your candidate and this is a blog about the Democratic Convention your opinion is not wanted or required. Let’s keep Mrs. Clinton catch phrase as it was original spoken. No how, No way, No McCain.

Cynthia,
I want you to give it to Bill O’Reilly! He did you wrong yesterday on the Factor.

Kay’s position is SOOOO very in tune with the Democratic Party’s beliefs that I’d be surprised if SHE isn’t on the podium as a speaker in Denver.
Censorship of opposing beliefs is the very CORE of the Democratic Party’s principles.

Since my running mate is scared of a town hall meeting debate and Fox news. I’m prepared to debate him with Keith Olberman, Ms. Tucker, and Michael Moore as moderators.
I like challenges and this is becoming too easy.
Aw heck, throw Chris Matthews in there too, while his leg is still erect.
Your fellow citizen of the world,
JM

Hillary was not engaged in a Obama butt-kissing. Who do you think she was addresing when she said Proud American ?. It was directed at Michelle Obama and it was a bytch slap delivered right on target, so direct. Michelle Obama cannot hide her hate and jealousy of Hillary. McCain 08…the only choice. Jason, O’Reilly and Tuicker are not match. he will eat her fdor lunch and leave nothing but pulp. She is small change compared to him. She is in print, a dying media, he’s on the highest rated news show on Fox. Jason, grow a brain and some balls.

If Bill toes the Obama party line, check to see if there’s an intern inside the podium. Maybe Bill will make his “O” face.

Somehow a speech is going to make up for the fact that this country is nearly 10 trillion dollars in debt with committments of at least 57 triiion and some say as much as 100 trillion dollars? I don’t think so.
Somehow a speech is going to make up for the fact that Obama has no intention of getting us out of the middle east and pulling the empire back to the shores of this great country? I dont think so.
Somehow a speech is going to make up for the fact that Max Headroon, the VP choice voted for the Patriot act - twice, voted for every Iraq war spending bill, voted for the military commisions act and has received a poor rating from virtually every taxpayers group in the nation? I don’t think so.
Then there is McCain of course whose goal is war with every nation on earth and a continued presence in the middle east until armageddon (likely and event he wishes to precipitate).
This has got to be the lowest moment for america. We have certainly seen horrible choices for the past 5 or 6 elections, but this one takes the cake.
At least there will be one gathering that should inspire all americans. It will be happening in Minneapolis, while the war mongers meet in St. Paul. The Rally to save the Republic will be bringing together 10,000+ freedom-loving individuals who realize that the fight for freedom and liberty cannot be deterred by the obvious consequences this election holds, no matter who wins, but that the fight for liberty must go on every day.
The dream land that Barack and Hillary and Bill and McCain will be presenting over these two weeks doesn’t exist, and their policies will do everythng to make sure of that. We are a nation that has lived beyond its means and the bill is coming due. You are afraid to face that, and they are ashamed and afraid to tell you.
Thankfully the consitution, the free market, the gold standard, Ron Paul, and all of his followers will be there always to point the right way.

All I can say about this election is:
If you want to hear someone talk, vote for Obama
If you want to see someone DO, vote for McCain.

Sarah, you are absolutely correct in everything that you stated! It’s refreshing to see comments from a person who has her compass poited in the ‘right’ direction. If I wasn’t happily married I would ask you out - but hey, if I was Bill Clinton then that trivial matter wouldn’t be in the way at all, would it? McCain will completely wipe the floor with that communist half-Kenyan in about ten weeks from now - bank on it!!

Do you really want a ninja in the White House?
Besides, His biggest opponent, Hillary, and his VP, Biden, says he isnt ready to be pres.
That is a pretty damn good reason he should be pres.

But if you were John McCain, you would only have to wait until your wife was seriously injured, and Sarah was in line to inherit $300 million dollars. Your 1/2 Panamanian candidate is only going to wipe the floor with his own drool.

Comments from Satan, Fidel Castro, John McCain? It is shocking how serious the conservative “wrong” take an election and the issues that face our nation. Oh wait, I shouldn’t be shocked. How can I forget how serious you took the last 2 elections. To you it is just about winning, not about electing someone with an interest in policy and diplomacy that positively impacts the citizens of this nation.

I cannot believe that you people would jepordize the future of our country and vote for McCain because you can’t vote for Hilary!! We are not voting for our high school class president!! This isn’t a situation where since I can’t vote for my BFF I am going to vote for the other guy as long as the person that beat my BFF doesn’t win. Our future and our children’s and grandchildren’s future are at stake her people. If you want to vote for McCain because you truly believe in what he can do for this great country of ours then vote for him but don’t vote for him because Hilary is not an option. The right to vote is a priviledge and an honor that should not be squandered and taken for granted. I am absolutely astounded by this notion. I mean really if you vote McCain into office because Obama beat Hilary what have you accomplished, REALLY?

you dumb ignorant racist rednecks. if the last 8 yrs have been good for you(gas prices) then vote for mcsame, if you have 9 houses(mortgage crisies) vote for mcbush,if you have 100 million in the bank(Enron Irag, world Com, Bin Laden) then vote for mcsame. My disgust with the mcsame party is you guys know your candidate ain’t worth a $hit,(bush drunk at the Olympics)but you vote for him because some qualified african american has eaten your lunch, stole your promotion and taken your wife to the barn…LOL!!!!! Vote Obama fo yo momma!!!

Get up there and tell the truth Bill. Say that you know your wife who received 18 million votes would be a far better candidate than Obama. Tell it like it is about the way they turned you into a racist because you supported your wife and not Obama. Tell the world how slimey and low the news stations treated your wife while having their lisp surgically implanted on Obamas butt. Tell the truth about how unfit and unqualified Obama is to be President. Tell the truth Bill, what have you got to lose. Blacks have already lied about you and tossed you to the curb but most would vote for the idiots on the Clayton County School Board if they decide to run for anything. I think white people are ready for a black President but I sure as hell don’t think blacks are. They would think everyday is Freaknic and the 3rd of the month when the welfare checks come. Tell the truth Bill, singe their short hairs off…they deserve no less!!!!! Give them hell Bill, give them hell tonight!!!

Joe Blow, do you remember when gas prices went up? That is correct, when the dimocrats took over congress. Do you remember when they started coming down again, that is correct when we just mentioned that we were going to talk about drilling? Oh by the way Enron was done by the policies put forth by slick Willie, not Bush. 143 day experience in congress qualifies you to be president? Joe Blow, you are a prime Obama voter, you don’t have a clue or even want a clue.

JHL fo you think everyone wants a Clayton County, a SW DeKalb? Both of these are glaring examples of black rule. Clayton County, by conservative estimates is what…85 per cent black andthis paper, the AJL has a froint page story on the kids there are the dumbest of the dumb. Yeah JHL I hear it every day how white people want to move to black domninated areas becasue of the high standard of living and the low crime. We love rent houses, projects, pawn shops and liquor stores and our kids love to play hop scotch on the outline of the bodies of dead thugs. JHL, there’s another hurricane coming, get your 40 oz. and head to the roof you dumaz.

BILL. Bill. bill. He has cloaked that name with such deep meaning. Now when someone says “My name is Bill”, everyone gets a picture in their mind. A feeling deep in their chest. A little smile. BILL. There is just something about the guy! That name. It just makes you want to throw your hands into the air, open your mouth wide and get on your knees. Yes, BILL will deliver the goods! The same goods that he has always delivered. He will deliver the goods all over the smiling faces of the Democrats in the audience and they will love him for it. BILL. Bill. bill. What a guy.
