Well, everyone knows I don't care for Hillary much, but I have to admit, I like this Hillary tribute they're showing.  Maybe it's just my dem side slipping through.  :)

I don't have a dem side, and even I have to admit that the video was well done.


Bill's gonna cry!


Yes, it was really nicely done.

only because he realizes that he is at least another 4 years removed from a seemingly endless supply of impressionable white house interns.

Well, she got that out of the way quickly.  Straight to the unity theme.  Surprising.

unity lasted 10 seconds. :whatever:  now it's health care . . . although that seems to be a segue to thanking her supporters.

I have never understood this about the universal health care advocates.   universal access can be, I suppose, enforced, at least in theory, but how can you guarantee quality?  you can't.  so, are they admitting that they are guaranteeing access to crappy health care?

HMO's are sort of like little Stalinist socialist health care camps already.  I really think MSA's are the way to go, or at least a part of the broader solution instead of making something the government already made bad, worse.

Problems cannot be solved with the same level of consciousness that created them, to paraphrase Einstein.

"end the war responsibly"?  is there a more responsible way of ending a war than by winning it?

just keep thinking about how agonizing this is for her, and how the only person that may want to throw up more than us right now is her.

Create millions of jobs?

Can someone please explain to this dumb bitch that employees don't CREATE jobs, employers DO? ...and when you tax the ever-living-SHIT out of the employers they tend to create less jobs?

****! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. JFK even knew this shit.  ::)

no, I just think their rhetorical device is cowardly.  and it's dishonest.  how can you either respect or admire someone that you genuinely believe is evil, and will intentionally crush the middle class beneath their jack boots, plunder the national treasury for their own benefit, and start neeless wars just to see brave young men and women die?

she got it over awfully quickly, and hauled ass offstage.  I am sure she has buckets backstage ready for her to puke into.

I have not watched one second of the convention; probably will not watch that much of the Repubs either. Even if McCain picked Jack the Ripper as VP, he would still be better than Obama and Old Joe.

that was odd.  "god speed" is a phrase used to wish one good fortune on a journey . . .

Could be a synonymous with her other slip or not so slip of the tongue in mentioning the word assassination

this convention just isn't inflicting much damage on john mccain thus far.  they're beating up on george bush a bit, but he isn't on the ballot.
