Big Ol' Smitty Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Dobson on Rudy: "my conscience and my moral convictions" prevent him from voting for Rudy Giuliani should he win the Republican nomination... Dobson called Giuliani an "unapologetic supporter of abortion on demand" and criticized him for signing a bill in 1997 creating domestic-partnership benefits in New York City. He said there were other "moral concerns" with Giuliani, including that he's on his third marriage to "his mistress" from his second marriage and "appears not to have remorse for cheating on his wife." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070518/ap_on_...vYdn4UIQ_atOrgF

Sure, so is Rudy, but Dobson's more dispicable, IMO.

Big Ol' Smitty Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 McCain hits Obama where it really hurts--his spelling.
Guest George's Box Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Come on, Republicans, you're not going to knock America's Sweetheart out of the race on an ambiguous spelling error.
2GOLD Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Maybe it's McCain's way of appealing to the internet nerds?

gWIL Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 And Obama wins the second debate. Although, I can see the argument that will be made for Edwards. Everyone else was just kind of there.
Toshiaki Koala Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Mike Gravel rules all, and I say that without a trace of irony.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 I don't see why Kucinich & Gravel were rambling on about cutting funding for the war when Hillary, Obama, & Dodd (I don't know about Biden) ALL voted against the supplemental funding cave-in. I'm not a big fan of either Kucinich (as I've said before) or Gravel (crazy, angry old curmudgeon schtick was cute in the first debate...now it's tiring). They do make good far-left punching bags for the more mainstream candidates, though. On a side note, where the hell is RobotJerk/Y2Jerk/whateverthehellhewascallinghimself?
Gary Floyd Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Posted June 4, 2007 On a side note, where the hell is RobotJerk/Y2Jerk/whateverthehellhewascallinghimself? Who knows? Either way, it's a good thing he's been gone.
Gary Floyd Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Posted June 6, 2007 Giuliani really bombed tonight, IMO. Romney seemed uncomfortable.
Toshiaki Koala Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 I really wish the next GOP debate would just be Ron Paul talking for two hours.
CBright7831 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 From Variety.com: Spielberg endorses Clinton Filmmaker chooses Hillary over Obama By TED JOHNSON Director Steven Spielberg is endorsing Hillary Clinton's candidacy, lured back into her camp after some anticipation that he was poised to support her chief rival, Barack Obama. The director released a statement making it clear that he had chosen Clinton for her experience and because she would be a "strong leader." "I've taken the time to familiarize myself with the impressive field of Democratic candidates and am convinced that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate to lead us from her first day in the White House," Spielberg said in a statement released by the campaign. "Hillary is a strong leader and is respected the world over. As president, she will bring America back together, rebuild our prestige abroad and ensure our protection here at home." Spielberg and his DreamWorks partners Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen agreed to co-host a fund-raiser for Obama in February, which created quite a stir because the trio has long connections with the Clintons. But there were some reports that Bill Clinton personally intervened and convinced Spielberg to hold off an endorsement of Obama and also raise money for Clinton. Spielberg's political consultant, Andy Spahn, says that those reports were "completely untrue." "He was not endorsing at that time and said he wouldn't for a few months," Spahn said. On May 30, the DreamWorks partner co-hosted an event for Clinton at the home of Peter Chernin that raised about $800,000. The Spielberg endorsement is important because he can help lure additional donors, not to mention the cachet his name carries throughout the industry and nationwide. Spahn is one of the veteran fund-raising experts in the industry. (Spahn also reps Katzenberg, who continues to endorse Obama). There are no plans at present for Spielberg to cohost another Clinton event. The Obama campaign has been anticipating the endorsement, citing Spielberg's long ties to the Clintons. Among other things. President Clinton asked him to produce a short film that ran on the turn of the century in 2000. Rumors that he had been prepared to back Clinton had been floating out there and was reported in Wilshire & Washington on June 2. On Tuesday, at a Hancock Park fund-raiser featuring his wife Michelle, some of his Hollywood backers were talking about recent reports that Clinton has been experiencing a surge in Hollywood. And Michelle Obama was asked about her husband's No. 2 position in the polls. She noted that he husband actually has been pulling in more donors nationwide. Obama's campaign has the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey, and she is expected to host an event for him.
gWIL Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 And Bloomberg says fuck the Republican party. I'll vote for him if he runs.
2GOLD Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I lost interest in it when I heard "taking questions from Youtube". I don't know why, just made me have zero interest in what they had to say. I still know which Dem I'm not voting for but it's looking like she might be the one standing.
Boon Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Actually, the YouTube format was pretty slick. They had some solid questions, some funny moments and it was presented by what appeared to be competent individuals. Anderson Cooper did a decent job, too. As for the actual content of the debate- meh.
Gary Floyd Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Posted July 24, 2007 Obama wasn't in his best form last night. I'm starting to not believe the hype. Richardson did great. I really like this guy. Meanwhile, Giuliani has the answer.
EricMM Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 When the show Family Guy ends up getting pertinant, you're too predictable.
Ripper Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 You know what I noticed about Obama and Clinton that makes me think they could win the Presidency? They are both experts at actually not answering questions at all. I have heard interviews with both of them, and they are asked simple questions and they go into these long stories that always seem to hype up their virtues but don't even slightly answer the question at hand. Bush is really good at that too. Kerry would always try to answer a question directly...then talk another 15 minutes until you completely forgot what his answer was. Thats why he lost.
bobobrazil1984 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 I actually like obama so this is somewhat painful to admit, but his recent comments on attacking Pakistan don't sit well with me (the nuke statement also but that's lesser). If his intention was to disprove hillary's accusations of being naive at foreign-policy-defense, well he did just the opposite. Saying "oh well we'll just send troops into pakistan" is the height of naivetee since there are very concrete political reasons we dont do that - namely that we don't want the pakistani government to get toppled and replaced by a hardline extremist one.
snuffbox Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 I think Obama might have been trying to make a point about focusing on actual terrorists. Whether or not people believe that might be a valid strategy is certainly up to them.
Danville_Wrestling Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Yea, those Pakistan comments have are ones that Obama is going to have to pay for during the rest of this election cycle. However, he actually gave some specifics about what he would do other than "we can't take any options off the table" Hillary Clinton.
Timmy8271 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 That debate last night was classic. Anyone see it?
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 What was so great about it?
