This one is a beaut! Here’s a Texas state senator on national TV unable to cite one accomplishment of Barack Obama as a U.S. Senator.
As shameful as the video is, it makes clear that Obama is nothing but hot air, stolen rhetoric, and vague promises. I shudder to think how Obama’s “record” will be shredded by the McCain campaign if Obama is our nominee.
Think people!

In the words of Eric Cartman, “We need to work together…”
I slightly prefer Hillary over Barack, but your blog reads like a right-wing site.
As to the Matthews back-and-forth, I love Chris, because he doesn’t hold back. But just because this one guy couldn’t answer the question, it doesn’t mean Obama hasn’t worked hard in Congress – it just means Barack should have had a better spokesperson to go up against Matthews.

Right wing? Me? Hardly, Amy.
The last time I voted for a Republican for president was. . .never. And that’s lots of elections since 1972.
I AM tough on bullshit, and I think Obama and Co are flinging it so high, most in the media and his supporters can’t see how deep in it they really are. My fear is that if Obama is our nominee, a mean SOB like McCain will call it for what it is.
Hollow, empty, hot air.
Thanks for your comment.

A mean SOB like McCain? You pimp Hillary and call McCain an SOB? Wow, talk about Pot calling the kettle black. I am voting for Obama simply because I think Hillary is a mean ol bitch who only cares about herself. That and the fact that if Hillary wins, McCain and the republicans will pull out every skelaton she has hidden. She will get creamed by McCain. Obama at least is a wild card and has a chance.

Calling Rake right wing is a bit like calling a dog a cow. Both have four legs, but only one wants to play catch or guard you from mauraudering invaders. Perhaps you could notice the “not holding back” qualities of Mathews in Rake?

Gee, what they say about Obama’s Fan Club is true.
While the “Man-Child in the Promised Land” allegedly takes the high road, his testy fans are quick to slice off his opponent’s balls. Or try to.
McCain: Hillary’s got ‘em, you don’t. And do you really think that calling your candidate a “wild card” is a good thing? Are you as dumb as you sound?
Jo, speaking of dumb (at least I own up to it), it took several readings before I understood that you were paying me a compliment. I get it now. Accepted. Thank you.

Rake please look at my research today, then pass it to the appropriate channels. Thanks.

Hey, Rake. I’m not saying you ARE a right-winger, I know you’re too intelligent to be one, I just meant that sometimes your criticism of Obama is a bit harsh, that’s all.
Rake Morgan // February 21, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Yes, I agree it must sound harsh, especially if you like the guy. Most criticism of Hillary sounds harsh to me, too. So, let’s say that if we have a favorite candidate we don’t like reading harsh things about them. Fair enough.
But thanks for getting me off that Right Wing meat hook!
Keep writing!

Go team NAFTA! woohoo
Has Hillary spoken about the absolute gutting of the middle class that they brought about with their “FREE” trade rule?
I could care less about the things that I like about the Clintons… they have effectively reversed what us Americans fought so hard against starting in 1773. Isn’t it wonderful to have given Corporations more power than Governments worlwide?
Are you sure they don’t have some stock in the East India Company?
