{{{{As expected, one of the two major Democratic candidates saw a downturn in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, but it’s not the candidate that you think. Hillary Clinton is sporting the lowest personal ratings of the campaign. Moreover, her 37 percent positive rating is the lowest the NBC/WSJ poll has recorded since March 2001, two months after she was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York.}}}}

Bwa.

Drag that pig through the mud before she get’s gone.

Make it so she can never come back.

The America haters went on a field trip:

{{{{Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California.}}}}

{{{{The three anti-war Democrats made the trip in October 2002, while the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq. While traveling, they called for a diplomatic solution.}}}}

Is this not an intentional undermining of the Executive Branch and, even more importantly, giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

Iraq oil - another black hole of corruption It’s hardly a surprise considering all of the other areas of corruption and missing millions and billions. So far for each story of failure and missing money, the result from the Bush administration (and Congress, for that matter) has been a shoulder shrug. We continue to throw money in to that pit, allowing Republican talking points to dominate the discussion and rule the day. Somehow, we expect a different end result despite no evidence that suggests anything has changed. If the administration is afraid of taking action, why would Iraqi ministers change their behavior? Either way, as the bill for the Wall Street bailout hits home, American opinions on more spending in Iraq is going to change. When the question is bailout at home or bailout of Iraq, who do you think Americans will choose?

Yes she lies, cheats, steals and has a nasty temper. She and her husband will stoop as low as possible and step on whomever they wish to achieve their objectives. These are trashy people elevated to high office by the primary voters of the Democrat Party with the active help of a sociopath named H. Ross Perot. Now you Democrats understand WHY we Republicans railed against these crooks for so long. These people are a study in mendacity and perfidity. However, it is coming out that Mr. Obama is at least as perfidious when it comes to much of his rather sketchy record as a United States Senator. McCain also has some exaggerations in his Senatorial resume, but these are minor compared to the whoppers being told on the Democrat side. Folks, it is a question of character as we always said.

Before you get self-rightious and start screaming Larry Craid and Mark Foley or David Vitter, I suggest you look in your own closets at the LIVING skeletons. The Republicans have NOT defended these (and other) miscreants. When discovered they are told to leave. Craid and Vitter cannot be forced out, but they certainly do not have the approval to stay. Kennedy and Franks are still in Congress. Garry Studds stayed until he voluntarily retired. Robert Byrd is a continuing embarassment and living corpse on the Senate floor.

We were told for years by you on the left that character does not matter. Now to borrow a well turned phrase - your chickens are coming home TO ROOST!

Well, at least Bob Barr agrees with me:

“On Iraq:

“What we’ve fallen into in recent years — not just since 9/11, but particularly since 9/11 — is this notion that, in order to protect ourselves, we have to preemptively go into and — in the case of Iraq — occupy another sovereign nation,” Barr said. “Simply saying, ‘Gee, it’s better to fight over in this other nation and destroy another nation, so we’re not potentially attacked here, is the height of arrogance.”

Thanks Bob! I hope he does run for President.

“These are trashy people elevated to high office by the primary voters of the REPUBLICAN Party with the active help of a sociopath named KARL ROVE.

I don’t think that allowing the remaining primary races to continue through June will “hurt the party” — for once, all Dems in all states can have a say in who our nominee is for the November ticket. After the final primaries and caucuses are held in June, the candidate with the most votes and most pledged delegates should be our nominee! We will still have plenty of time to mount our General Election campaign against McBush — the Repug Party is weak and a very easy target to hit, and the Dems should have no problems whatsoever getting the majority of American voters to vote overwhelmingly for the Dem candidate.

Howard Dean has been promising the Dems that we would have a 50-state strategy and the primary races have started that process.

Remember that Constitution that you libs like to say that Bush “shredded:”

{{{{Under the Constitution, the president is the federal official primarily responsible for the relations of the United States with foreign nations. The president appoints ambassadors, ministers, and consuls — subject to confirmation by the Senate — and receives foreign ambassadors and other public officials. With the secretary of state, the president manages all official contacts with foreign governments.}}}}

These three wormy demokrat senators acted on the behalf of a country that the United States had been at war or in conflict with for over 15 years.

And they clearly gave aid to the enemy, a genocidal dictator that was a menace to the entire region, Israel included.

Sorry, not following you with that.

So, were these Senators acting solely on behalf of the U.S.? Probably not - they may have been trying to stop a war. That seems like a better interest to the public (and turns out they were right) than the non-sensical and inaccurate rhetoric Bush was feeding to Congress.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

Oh, and your wrong, I love my country - and not so cowardly as to put other lives before mine in fighting my enemy. Remember, I’d be willing to fight al-Qaeda here - and if your not willing to take up arms to defend your home, if you’d be willing for more Iraqis to die fighting OUR enemy, I call that cowardice.

A great article in Rolling Stone mag describing the American electorate every 4 years: a combination of a squid and a dweeb— a “SQUEEB”!

That’s especially true now, during a “controversy” like this latest flap over Barack Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright. This Wright business is a perfect example of the American electorate at its squeeby worst — panicky, gutless, acting more on reflex than thought, incapable of retaining information for more than a few minutes at a time. It’s also a great example of how the presidential election process has become more about enforcing the attitudes of a cultural orthodoxy than a system for choosing leaders. Through scandal after idiotic scandal, the election process has become a painfully prolonged, deeply irritating exercise in policing conventional wisdom, through a variety of means keeping the public in a state of heightened, dumb animal panic, and ultimately turning the election itself into a Darwinian contest — survival of the Squeebiest.

Once again drunken Bush has made a pronouncement from the safe confines of the Pentagon that the US is ‘winning the war in Iraq.” In that building it is unacceptable to question the commander-in-chief no matter how dense or self-deluded he is. Then the alcoholoc sent Cheney to Baghdad on the aniversary of their misbegotten, murderous adventure in order to boost the troop morale. A surprise visit by The Man Who’s Never Been Right. That Mad Man announced Iraq as beeing a “successful endeavour.” Compared, I suppose, to the landing of the Hindenburg. Currently the Bush-Cheney-Repug rodeo is sapping US taxpayers between $8 billion and $12 billion a month - just what a battered and shaking economy needs. We thank all of you bewildered Bushies for your goose-stepping support towards the final US knockdown. God bluss Murcuh. Allah akbar! Stand proud.

The Sunnis once ruled Iraq. We invaded and cast the Sunnis out of power. None of you realize that fact. that’s how ignorant you are. Your eyes are glazed over now just reading about the sunnis.

Winston Churchill was trapped in Iraq in the 1920’s. He put the Minority Sunni’s in charge and they persecuted the Shia Majority for seventy five years until we liberated the Shia Majority from Sunni Saddam. Now, we are fighting those same Shia Majority we just saved and got elected.

Of course we’d have to side with one or the other. Some of us, a handful of americans, knew exactly that this would happen. our five year old blogs are our proof. But saddam was an evil guy, he gassed his own people,

The Kurds aren’t going to like this, Yogi……

Remember, the sunnis were in charge. We didn’t liberate them, we attacked the sunnis. It was the sunnis we cast out. They ruled. Not one of you knows that, or had the intelligence to deduce it. You all need to Know how ignorant you are, and being reminded by me is why you all hate me. Good. If I was acceptable to you, I’d stick my head in the toilet.

We didn’t liberate the sunnis. Memorize that line. We didn’t liberate the sunnis. We invaded the sunnis and destroyed their government. Sunnis. We attacked them.

We liberated the shia, who it just so happens, we are fighting now! why? ask churchill, he’d say, “because they’re shia!”

Lunatic shia. cant deal with shia. that’s why sunnis should be in charge, and why we’ve picked them and aligned army with them. Sunni good. Good sunni. You’re not monsters, you’re good boys…you’re good sunnis…..(camera to sunnis crying because we finally understand them..)

A great letter to the editor in today’s fine AJC:

‘Barbie’ case shows color of justice

When I heard that the “Barbie Bandits” would be sentenced, I thought: We will see if the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s theology has any merit. It does! When one young blond bank robber is given only probation, her sentence does not fix the crime. The scene from a Malcolm X movie keeps coming to mind. When Malcolm X and his friend and their two white female companions are in court, Malcolm X and the black friend are given hard time. The females are given probation. Look at this current case. Who is serving the hard time? I don’t understand how these two young women could commit the same crime and only one has to serve time. This is the type of justice that drives Wright to deliver messages that remind us that there are two different justice systems in this country, one for (white) well-connected folks and one for the poor (black) folks with no connections.

Andy @9:14 -

All that article tells me is that the neo-con theory that Bill Clinton never did anything to combat terrorism is a complete farse (as if I didn’t know that already).

Nowhere in that article did it say anything to indicate that Saddam was planning on using these weapons on AMERICAN citizens.

You see, it’s always been my position that we should not be the world’s police. When we allow others to become complacent that the United States will take care of all the world’s woes, then everyone else gets lazy and we become the main enemy of extremists - like say, for example, al-Qaeda.

So, in 1998, Saddam Hussein had WMDs and had used them on his own people -I never said the man wasn’t an evil SOB and deserved what he got.

That was atrocious, and I’m glad the man got his comeuppance.

But here’s a question, and this I don’t know, maybe you can tell me - was the 1998 bombing in Iraq successful? Did we accomplish our stated goal?

But in March 2003, he was not an immediate threat to the United States of America.

Your article proves nothing, oh, except that Bill Clinton did actually do something to combat terrorism.

Bosch: “why” answered your first question at 9:14 quite well, I’d like to add to it that I have no doubt that you don’t follow along with why Bill Klinton bombed Iraq, mostly because you weirdly put your political party before the welfare of your own country.

And as for part two of your query, see “Oil for Food,” and ask yourself why it was O.K. back then to kill Iraqi children so that France, Russia and Bill Klinton presidential library donors could make a “killing” off of oil money.

I can’t seem to remember you whining very much about that.

Islamic extremists, if I were to take a guess, would mostly be found in the regions surrounding Mecca and Medina, and a great place to find them and kill them would be as close as you can get to Mecca and Medina.

As you may or may not have noticed, that idea seems to be working quite well.

Finally, and most importantly, American and coalition troops do not target innocent civilians like al Qaeda and the Mahdi army does.

This is the most absolute basic truth about our mission and I think it is rather sick of you to suggest otherwise.

From day one of the mission to remove a regime from power that had the potential to kill large numbers of innocent American civilians, we have gone out of our way to minimize collateral damage, including putting our soldiers at undue risk.

What YOU do, everyday, when you badmouth them and their mission, is incite anger and animosity against them, further putting their lives at risk, angering people who want to kill them because they don’t hear the TRUTH about our soldiers but instead only hear your sick, stupid, disgusting lies about those brave men who risk their lives every day so that you can live free.

Ignorant Repunk followers. The Surge so-called “success” has always been nothing more than a polite backing-off of al Sadr & his forces. No more, no less. Out of the goodness of his great heart! American clowns react feverishly to his every breath. How many al Sadrs do you goons think exist in Iraq?? How many can/will spring up overnight when they are in the mood? You are pitiful. Your little hands drip with blood. As always, it is the blood of…others. You have no stomach or scrotum for a fight.

Goldie - as so many of you liberals have complained lately, both in the Obama and Clinton camps, about cutting and pasting sound-bites and interviews. Fahrenheit 9/11 was just such a rediculous hit-job. I know you worship at the stomach of Michael Moore, but the guy is full of hypocritical bull. And anything on Frontline is automatically suspect. Twisting the facts is something that people on both sides do. It is never honorable.

Andy,

“STFU, please”

You’d like that wouldn’t you?

I’ll never shut the fvck up and neither will those like me. Get used to it.

“I’d like to add to it that I have no doubt that you don’t follow along with why Bill Klinton bombed Iraq, mostly because you weirdly put your political party before the welfare of your own country”

If you’d come out and said what you meant in the first post, I wouldn’t have to guess now would I?

But Bill Clinton DID bomb Iraq - and from the looks of things, did a pretty good job wiping out their WMDs.

“I can’t seem to remember you whining very much about that”

Did we know each other back then? I don’t recall knowing anyone named Andy.

“Islamic extremists, if I were to take a guess, would mostly be found in the regions surrounding Mecca and Medina”

You mean like in Saudi Arabia? Then why the hell are we in Iraq?

“American and coalition troops do not target innocent civilians like al Qaeda and the Mahdi army does.

This is the most absolute basic truth about our mission and I think it is rather sick of you to suggest otherwise”

And I suggested that WHERE? Now your just making sh!t up in an attempt to make me look bad. What a cowardly thing to do.

“From day one of the mission to remove a regime from power that had the potential to kill large numbers of innocent American civilians”

The regime is gone……now what?

“we have gone out of our way to minimize collateral damage, including putting our soldiers at undue risk”

I know that Andy, and I never suggested anything different. The Iraqi people have suffered tremenduously fighting OUR enemy - maybe it’s time to give them a break. I’m ready, are you?

No, Andy, we know that. And I think you are conveniently overlooking what I wrote about how I never said Saddam wasn’t a sadistic SOB who got what he deserved.

And I think you are a coward if you are not willing to defend your homeland and face your own enemy.

And I also think it is irresponsible of our country to continue with this complete farse of an occupation, where thousands of Iraqi civilians are getting killed in the crossfire - just like they were getting killed by Saddam Hussein. THEIR enemy is DEAD! OURS ISN’T.

And to suggest that I hate my country because I believe that? What a twisted mind you must have. I’m willing to make sacrificies, you are not.

Yes, these people have suffered enough at the hands of these extremists and lost thousands. Now, I say, we get them over here where every other American has a gun, and would probably share one with those of us who don’t, and take them on over here, on our land, on our soil.

If this is so damned vital to all Americans, then ALL Americans should share in the defense and own it, since our very lives and existence as a nation depends on our defeating this enemy.

We cut them off from their resources, break their will, and then they can go visit their virgins.

We need to stop letting these people die at the hands of these extremists and put our money where our mouths are.

Bush’s heads-I-win-tails-you-lose argument in Iraq - We’ve been dealing with this kind of argument for a little too long now. When conditions in Iraq deteriorate, the Bush administration says, “We can’t withdraw U.S. troops now; this is when they’re needed most.” When violence wanes, those same officials say, “We can’t withdraw U.S. troops now; their presence is helping bring some stability to Iraq.” We should stay the course if Iraq improves, and stay the course if Iraq worsens. Either way, we have to stay the course.——And now that violence in Basra is erupting, and the Mahdi ceasefire may be unraveling, you’ll never guess what the Bush gang believes now. Yep, this is proof of the success of the surge, ——-The positive outcome of the surge to stop the violence was an increase in elective violence.

Good…somebody, AJCM sees beyond the oversimplified view of the conflict with Iraq’s shiites and the Mehdi Army, also shiites.

Stratfor has an excellent piece which supports his (AJCM’s) assessment. By all accounts, the coalition forces are, in no way, involved in the conflict. It’s been left to the Maliki government to deal with, and deal with it, they are. They’re going up against Iran’s shiite proxies.

I can recall back in Nov. 2007 when more than 300,000 Shiite Muslims from southern Iraq had signed a petition condemning Iran for fomenting violence in Iraq.

What we’re seeing is a fractured Mehdi army - one faction wanting political solutions, the other, proxies of Iran looking to put pressure on the U.S. to negotiate. Sadr is caught between Iran and the U.S.

Sadr wants, for personal reasons only, to maintain a political influence in Iraq’s parliament. Iran is screwing that up for him.

“Your immaturity is really shining through. In my experience, people curse when the DON’T want people to rationally understand their arguments”

It’s my experience that when people can’t debate a topic or when they know they’ve been beaten in an argument they SOLELY in their posts bring up LAME A$$ things like cursing while they let slide the crude comments of those who they feel are like minded - while contributing nothing to back up WHY they think it is wrong to curse, or WHY they feel it is immature.

If I were to ever project a moral judgement upon someone, I would AT LEAST explain why it is (other than just simply being immature) WHY I feel that way, because otherwise to do so is just plain arrogant.

Never thought I’d say it but….Hooray Pelosi!

(CNN) – A recent letter from several Hillary Clinton fundraisers to Nancy Pelosi seeking she step back from her contention that superdelegates should support the pledged-delegate leader appears to have had little effect on the House Speaker.

Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said late Wednesday the California Democrat stands by her argument that the party’s superdelegates would do damage if they go against the will of voters and hand the nomination to the candidate who finished second among those delegates awarded from the round of caucuses and primaries.

“The speaker believes it would do great harm to the Democratic Party if superdelegates are perceived to overturn the will of the voters,” Daly said. “This has been her position throughout this primary season, regardless of who was ahead at any particular point in delegates or votes.”

The statement comes a day after nearly 20 high-profile Clinton fundraisers strongly criticized Pelosi for that position, arguing instead that the superdelegates “have an obligation to make an informed, individual decision about whom to support and who would be the party’s strongest nominee.”

The fundraisers, who reminded Pelosi in the letter they have been strong contributors to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, also urged the House Speaker to “clarify your position on super-delegates and reflect in your comments a more open view to the optional independent actions of each of the delegates at the National Convention in August.”

“Speaker Pelosi is confident that superdelegates will choose between Sens. Clinton or Obama — our two strong candidates — before the convention in August,” Daly also said. “That choice will be based on many considerations, including respecting the decisions of millions of Americans who have voted in primaries and participated in caucuses.”

Pelosi first expressed her stance in an ABC News interview earlier this month — one that benefits Barack Obama, whose current pledged delegate lead of 171 is virtually insurmountable given the party’s proportional delegation allocations, even if Clinton were to win each of the remaining 10 primary contests.

An Obama spokesman called the Clinton fundraiser’s letter “inappropriate.”

(CNN) — Its been an interesting week watching folks analyze the outcry over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s controversial comments, especially when they try to link them to Sen. Barack Obama.

Obama’s supporters say it’s wrong to associate his views with those of his pastor at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. His opponents say that surely his views are linked with Wright’s, including the pastor’s praise of Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Conservative talker Sean Hannity — who incidentally many have accused of associations with white supremacist Hal Turner, which he denies — was foaming at the mouth. He called Wright a racist and an anti-Semite, and then said we all should assume Obama is also a racist and an anti-Semite.

Frankly, it’s just not plausible to suggest that you always share the same feelings or views as someone you know.

In remarks to a Pittsburgh newspaper, Sen. Hillary Clinton responded to a question about the Wright controversy by saying: “You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.

True. Very true. But there’s also some reality that politicians pick and choose who they want to be associated with. Clinton pressed Obama during a debate this year to repudiate and denounce Farrakhan’s unsolicited praise of him at an event the Nation of Islam leader organized for his group in Chicago.

The moderator, NBC’s Tim Russert, brought up comments made by Farrakhan 24 years ago in his question to Obama.

Fine, so what do we make of then-President Bill Clinton publicly endorsing the 1995 Million Man March? Who called for that march? Louis Farrakhan. Who was the lead organizer? Louis Farrakhan. Who was the keynote speaker? Louis Farrakhan.

After he was out of the White House, President Clinton also endorsed the Million Man March. Who called for that march? Louis Farrakhan. Who was the lead organizer? Louis Farrakhan. Who was the keynote speaker? Louis Farrakhan.

Did Clinton privately or publicly rebuke her husband for supporting a man whom she has determined to be hateful and divisive?

Poor Hillary…

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s positive rating has dropped to a new low of 37 percent in an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday.

According to the poll, the New York senator’s positive rating slid 8 percentage points in two weeks and she had a negative rating of 48 percent in a week where she admitted making a mistake in claiming she had come under sniper fire during a 1996 trip to Bosnia.

Clinton’s Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, also saw a slight dip in his positive rating, to 49 percent from 51 percent, the poll found.

Clinton, who would be the first female U.S. president, and Obama, who would be the first black president, are in a heated battle for the Democratic nomination to face presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November’s election.

The survey was taken after Obama gave a speech last week on race in America and rejected racially charged remarks by his pastor in Chicago of two decades, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

NBC said 32 percent of respondents said Obama “sufficiently addressed the issue” and 26 percent said he needed to say more about the Wright controversy.

More than half of those surveyed — 55 percent — said they were “disturbed” by the videos of Wright that were widely circulated on television and the Internet, the poll found.

In head-to-head matchups, Obama and Clinton were even at 45 percent. In general election matchups, Obama led McCain by 44 percent to 42 percent and McCain led Clinton by 46 percent to 44 percent.

When asked which candidate could unite the country if elected, 60 percent said Obama, 58 percent said McCain and 46 percent said Clinton.

The poll of 700 registered voters was conducted on Monday and Tuesday and had a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.

NBC said its pollsters oversampled African-Americans to get a more reliable cross tabulation on questions regarding Obama’s speech on race.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who is national co-chair of Sen. Clinton’s presidential campaign, once stood on stage with Farrakhan in 1997 — at an event the Times said was “called to promote racial reconciliation after several recent high-profile crimes” — and praised him for his commitment to ending violence in the black community. Rendell was the mayor of Philadelphia at the time.

According to the April 15, 1997, story in The New York Times, Farrakhan praised Rendell before 3,000 people at the anti-violence rally for ”his courage and strength to rise above emotion and differences that might be between us or our communities.

Roland Martin argues that Obama is not alone in his controversial associations »

According to the Times, Rendell, who is Jewish, commended the Nation of Islam for its emphasis on family values and self-sufficiency.

Must Clinton repudiate and denounce Rendell’s past comments and association with Farrakhan?

Former Republican Rep. Jack Kemp is a huge supporter of Sen. John McCain, and he also has a Farrakhan story.

In 1996, when Kemp was the vice presidential running mate of Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, he told reporters that he wanted to meet with Farrakhan and praised his organization’s focus on economic empowerment, family values and its pull-yourselves-up-by-the-bootstrap message — right in line with the GOP talking points. Kemp said he wanted to speak at the Million Man March.

Kemp summarily criticized Farrakhan’s comments about Jews and whites, but he didn’t take his words back. By the way, Hannity pressed every African-American supporter about Farrakhan, but he never got in Kemp’s face about his comments.

I wonder why?

Must McCain repudiate and denounce Kemp’s past comments and association with Farrakhan?

When it comes to homosexuality, no Clinton or Obama supporter should think of criticizing the other campaign’s black ministerial supporters because that means most of their own would have to be disassociated from their campaigns.

Did the 69% of the people who didn’t say that they wanted the government involved realize that the government was involved in creating the issue to begin with? What they probably do not realize is that very low interest rates (set by Federal Reserve) led to the crisis as more and more people thought they could buy homes while at the same time more and more banks were willing to take risks on those same people.

What the Government needs to do is make sure that only rich Republicans like me can buy homes by requiring 20% down. That way my rental property will be a better investment. I think we’d be better off as a country if we simply made it impossible for people who aren’t rich to buy homes so that we can make the sure money on them in rent instead of loaning these poor liberal losers cash that they won’t pay back. Its much easier and less costly to eject then to foreclose anyway.
