Purplegirl,

I’ve got to agree with you.  This convention is being sidetracked—with a lot of help f rom media who’s out for drama—by the Clintons.  Even I continue to let the Clintons rankle me.  I done with them.

I miss the democratic conventions of old, rousing, smoking affairs with unkempt folks.  Comeon!  It’s time for some Bush/Cheney bashing!  The longer we talk about Clintons, the less we can curse bush/cheney.  Get Kucinich up there and impeach Bush roll call style. Get some folks to dress up as Bush McCain twins. 

These reporters should be inundated with vitriol about Bush instead of snide remarks about Clinton from Obama people and Obama from Clinton people.

We can lose this election if we’re not careful.

And let’s not allow the unregistered commenters pretending to be Democrats to manipulate the discussions. 

If you’re unregistered and blue, the first 5 sentences of every post has to be about the crappy Republicans!

Bill’s most likely has a secret date, he knows where his wife will be.

who cares what the Clintons do..I only care if their asses are leaving Politics- Good Riddance!
them and their league of Corporationist of the DLC can find their way home.They’ve been like a crappy lay for 24 yrs.All about them, all about how much they could ‘move & shake’, how beloved they are, how Special they are.Want to know where W got his mandate for self absorbed short sightedness, look to HillyBillys era.I voted for that SOB 2x’s and now I can’t stand the sight of him. Not because of the BJ, but because of how he behaved during Hillary’s claim for the WH.She not only revealed & discredited herself she added the final nails into Bill’s presidential legacy.could that have been her ‘pay back’ vindictiveness. ‘if I don’t make Queen, your Reputation will go down with me!’
so who cares what Ol’Slick Willy thinks or does, as long as he no longer weilds any power over US!
What a Corp Whore he was (IS)!

Golly, Willie won’t show. He acts like a snotty little kid, miffed because things didn’t go his way in what he mistaken believe is his private party. Too bad. The party doesn’t need him as much as the piranha-like and fully biased media does. This is not news.

is Bubba a delegate?? why does he need to be there in the first place? just another example of the media creating a controversy when one does not exist. next thing you know, they will be blaming the latest hurricane on what the dems are doing in denver.[unintentional alliteration]

If you’ve spent any time at all watching CNN, then you know they will do anything to stir the pot.

Anything to make it look like there is bitterness, stife, disorder, and fragmentation in the Democrat party.

I keep thinking how the Republican controled FTC eliminated the fariness doctrine, when it was convient for them. But for decades when they were in the minority in the congress they were it’s biggest supporters.

“Outraged, i find Bill Clinton at least as ridiculous as you do.  Watching him watch his wife’s speech last night…all i could think was, “how did he ever get elected president twice?”

Because, Bill, we hardly knew ya!  Naivete ruled then and there is no longer any excuse for it now!  We still haven’t realized just how far we’ve fallen and it may well be our demise.  There is little time left for an awakening and I don’t see it happening on this cycle.

Wow.

This does seem to be an indication of some very hard feelings.

There are only two possible explanations for this, as far as I can see. Either:

(a) Bill is deliberately trying to be unhelpful and place a depressing cloud over Obama’s campaign, so that Obama will lose and Hillary can run in 2012; or

(b) Bill is so emotionally upset that he simply can’t bring himself to do the proper thing.

Some time ago Cyrena called me an “idiot” because I had the temerity to predict that Hillary Clinton, following her concession, would return with enhanced power to the U.S. Senate where she might make political life for a President Obama difficult. After the speeches by Biden (on Saturday), Warner (on Tuesday), and Clinton (on Tuesday) I wonder who of us is the “idiot.” In fact, I was too timid in my prediction. With Biden gone and a doddering Dodd chanceless, the Democrats in the Senate will be infinitely stupid if they do not replace senescent Senator Reid with Senator Clinton as their Majority Leader. Two issues in Clinton’s speech yesterday show where she departs substantially from Obama. She demanded that the war in Iraq (which is now actually not a war but an occupation) be ended and that the soldiers be brought home. Mark: “soldiers” and “home”, not “take combat units out and send some to Afghanistan immediately” which is Obama’s position. She will work for a “universal health insurance policy” which is fundamentally different from Obama’s timid version.
Finally, a remark about Governor Warner. If this guy is an example of a “New Age” Obama-Democrat I retch and so should all progressives in the land.

I voted for Bill in 1992. It was the first, and last time I threw my vote away to pragmatic ends. Then the worthless prick began selling out the dimmos. He gave up gays in the military, he gave up universal healthcare, he continued DC’s policys of deregulation, he sold Joclyn Elders down the drain.
He pursued a neoliberal foreign policy, causing the deaths of countless thousands of innocents from the Balkins to Indonesia.
Kinda sounds like the actions of a repug, doesn’t it?
So who gives two shits what this scummbag says or thinks? Everyone who has ever delt with the Clintons knows that Bill and his lapdog Hillary, have marched everywhere on a road of bones. Leaving behind a trail broken dreams, broken promises, and jism stained dresses.
The dimmos should buy him and Hillary a plane ticket out of Denver, because a train ain’t fast enough!

Not any more ridiculous than Nobama being absent during Hillary Clinton’s speech last night.  What the hell is that all about?

******

Oh please…stop with the drama. If you want to say that Senator Obama was ‘absent’ then he was ‘absent’ during his wife’s keynote address as well. He isn’t even PLANNING to be in ‘physical’ attendance until tomorrow, because he’s ‘attending’ from the homes of various citizens via teleconference.

Did ya miss that optipessimist, or did ya fall through the CRACKS of modern technology? Maybe you’re still hanging out with McCain as he learns to use the computer?

Not any more ridiculous than Nobama being absent during Hillary Clinton’s speech last night.  What the hell is that all about?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a big fight at that convention over the next two days.  There are cracks in that party.

Outraged, i find Bill Clinton at least as ridiculous as you do.  Watching him watch his wife’s speech last night…all i could think was, “how did he ever get elected president twice?”

I’m curious.  Does anyone else find Bill as ridiculous as I do..?  (I mean of course, aside from Hillary)  The man was engaging in “self-satisfing experimentation” in the oval office, is that correct… am I confused?  We are speaking of Bill Clinton here, right?

Of course before that we had ol’ “crystal ball Nancy” directing our future from…..what, Nostradamus, or would that be Ra, seriously….these things confuse the hell out of me.

I’m not sure if I should “win one for the Gipper” or take Monica seriously.  Of course, most people I know don’t use crystal balls to direct the SUPERPOWER OF A NATION or use “experimentation” to enhance their job performance.

What a conundrum.  Well..there was ol’ Daddy Bush in there too…  But, someone who DECIDED Barbara Bush was a “good thing” .... well…it leaves a person wondering doesn’t it?

I did figure out that if we’d all just intermarry, then we’d all be “bluebloods” and really… could we do worse than SEVERELY MENTALLY “CHALLENGED”.
