lieberman just complimented bill clinton at a RNC, and got applause.  I got dizzy and fell over again. :-)

Strange bedfellows. At least we got his vote.   :p

Ok Joe...  Time to end your speech.

Soap?  I'm thinking some straight lye is in order.

There's not a whole lot of Joooos 'round these parts.  I had forgotten about them.  :p

I used to pass what I thought was a synagouge on the way to school every day.  Turns out it was a Unitarian church or something like that.

he's having a bit of a problem consistently hitting upon those topics that a GOP convention delegate would find complimentary.  they may as well be from pluto. :-)

I like the "watchening and listening" line the best. I think that's kind of catchy.  :popcorn:

Fred is hilarious and heartbreaking and kicking butt. sheesh

Feels like the convention did not truely start till Fred showed up.  :-)

No offense to McCain, but where the HELL was this Thompson when we needed him?????

No offense to Thompson but running a fairly luke warm race. If he entered the race like he is presenting himself tonight we would be watching McCain talk up Fred right now.
Thompson was the only adult running and I don't think he knew how to handle the children but he knew how to handle the press.  I loved when he refused to raise his hand.

I really think the fix was in for McCainez for not jumping ship in 'aught-one.  I wish he had.

Plus too many people were afraid of Hillary.

Now the same people who were afraid of Hillary uber alles are afraid of Obama uber alles which is exactly why it is better to be for someone rather than being for someone because they aren't as bad as the really scary someone.  And if I can't be for someone I would rather not vote at all.  But WE made an excellent point in another thread and that is, if Juan wins Palin will be the guy in '12 or '16, preferably '12.  And that, for me, is something to be for.

it was different.  there were a couple of minor republicans at the obamapalooza convention, but they were former republicans, and they were kinda screwballs to begin with.  and they didn't feature them in prime time.

i mean, think about it.  two election cycles ago, THIS GUY was their VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.  I mean, if we hadn't hacked all those voting machines in palm beach county, he would BE vice president right now. :-)

i think that is the power of having him speak at our convention.
