This is borderline silly, No, it’s beyond mentally depraved.
My Question is, why the hell would someone get on National TV and say something and not really mean it? That’s about the most absurd thing, I’ve ever read in my entire life.
Of course, absurdity is about the norm in the world of politics in this day and age, isn’t it?
Okay, I watched the Debates.
Here’s the official "Political Byline" Blog reaction to the Democrat Debates.
I went in, expecting a cat fight. What I saw was basically another civil debate.
Hillary did come out in the beginning, a bit punchy, She did NOT lose her temper, as one of MSNBC’s talking heads suggested. She simply defended herself legitimately. Plain and Simple, I didn’t detect anger at all. Anyone who suggests otherwise, is simply either biased against her, or the democrats in general.
Other than that, I detected a very calming, civil tone to the debate.
Yes, there were quite a few zingers, The Pillow Fluff crack, Hillary Musing because she’s the first to get the question. There were a few others, but the pillow fluff crack was about the only one that I remember and yes, I howled with Laugher.
I believe, however, because I am a realist, I believe that Hillary and Obama are quite ambitious about their crusade to get National Healthcare. If they think that the Republicans are going to just lay down and let them steam roll a National Healthcare plan through, they both have a screw loose. Quite frankly, Conservatives will fight that tooth and nail, until the second coming of Christ. Plain and Simple. In reality, it will be a hard, strong, bloody fight. Would it be worth it? I’m not going to comment on that. Because I’m not in their shoes. I will however, continue to comment on it, even after the election, because, quite frankly, it will be an interesting topic to follow.
On Obama, about the Louis Farrakhan issue, I think the Media’s bringing that up, is playing right into the race baiting of the Conservative Media. I’m quite shocked that the MSM Media, especially MSNBC would even bother going there.
I think Obama held his own, very well. He didn’t have a knee jerk moment, at all and I think that says quite a bit about him. He’s proven to me, that he is not anywhere near the caliber of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, and believe me, that’s a very good thing,
Now as far as Body language, I didn’t really pay attention to that, I listen to words, Not body language. (Unlike some people!
)
So, who won? I think it was pretty much even. They both did fine, I think.
Question is, what did you think? Comments?
This crap here, is just totally wrong.
What do I mean? Because it cheapens the Political debate.
Is saying someone’s full name, racism? No.
Is saying someone’s full name to imply that he’s a closet Muslim, and working with terrorists to overthrow the country? Yes.
Why else would this idiot say that?
Good for John McCain for apologizing for this man’s foolishness.
(H/T Memeorandum)
and I do mean, Silly
Why can’t Right Wingers just accept that the next President will be a Black man?
Calling George Wallace!
There’s an interesting piece in the Politico about Obama Stiffing the Press.
I’m divided on this one.
On one hand, I think it’s not right that the press be limited in their access to a candidate.
On the other hand, I know that the press can be ruthless in the coverage and in their quest to get a story. Here’s a classic example. The woman did wrong, but the local press was ruthless to this woman, until she killed herself. The really cruel part is, the offending station that hounded her, mentioned her death in a very cold, passing way. I used to really respect that station, in the days when Jac Le Goff and Bill Bonds were the rulers there. Now it’s little more than a idiot station, with idiots behind the desks.
So, in a way, I can fully understand Obama’s desire to keep the media at bay. It could be, however, the secret service’s doing as well. After all, Obama did get some threats a while back, it could be that seeing he’s getting so popular, it could be that they’re afraid of people getting mixed up with the media and possibly trying to take a shot at him or something.
So, while I think it might upset the media, for their access being limited, I’m sure it’s being done for a very good reason, and not just because Obama doesn’t like them.

But this is going a wee bit over the line! 
There’s a joke about a "House Divided" in there somewhere…. 
Here are the top stories related to the Run for the White House for 2008.
You know, I make no bones about it, I cannot stand Hillary. Stuff like this Here, is why.
Check out the Picture being circulated by the Hillary camp.
For the record, many other lawmakers who visit other countries tend to dress up in that country’s dress.
To me, it just shows that Hillary is gasping for air, and that air is getting thinner by the second.
I just wish she would face facts and leave this race, to the grown up people, who don’t act like feckless children.

Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.
Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.
Some people need to really look into getting real.
Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.
But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head!
Stupidity at it’s finest.
Looks like this might just turn out to be an interesting race.
Clinton Has Edge in Ohio; Race in Texas Deadlocked (Via Washington Post.com)
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, facing a pair of big Democratic primary tests on March 4 that could determine the fate of her presidential candidacy, is deadlocked with Sen. Barack Obama here in Texas and holds a slender lead over him in Ohio, according to two new Washington Post-ABC News polls.
Of course, both of them will be working their butts off, until March 4.
The closeness of the races in Texas and Ohio underscores the challenges facing Clinton over the next 12 days of campaigning as she seeks to end Obama’s double-digit winning streak in their battle for the Democratic nomination. Those victories have given Obama a lead in delegates to the national convention and have put Clinton’s candidacy at risk unless she can rack up a string of big victories of her own.
In Ohio, Clinton leads Obama in the new poll by 50 percent to 43 percent, a significant but tenuous advantage given the shifts that have taken place in advance of previous primaries as candidates intensified their campaigns. In Texas, the race is about even, with Clinton at 48 percent and Obama at 47 percent.
The experts, however will tell you that Obama’s got it all locked up and she’s trailing for a V.P. Spot.
Either way, It will be fun to watch.
