"There are few choices more terrifying than the one Mr. Bush has left us with tonight.

We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself from invoking World War III about Iran at least six weeks after he had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible hyperbole, or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to have asked, at what now appears to have been a series of opportunities to do so, whether the fairy tales he either created or was fed were still even remotely plausible."

He was the only show I saw that wasn't so impressed with Romney's speech, too.

you could tell before the comment he was ready to breath fire - he loses that boyish innocence. He's a man among girlscouts there on msnbc. Tweety and Tuckit in particular.

That sound you heard in the background were the little pricks in DC shriveling up.

What the fuck was romney blathering about? Trying to say that this Country is built on religion? Another fucking idiot who is pandering for votes. It is disgusting and frightening in the way these people think, I feel like I am from another planet.

Me 2. I don't mind ceremonial uses for religion; but it's always like the camel who puts his nose under the tent.
The religiosity challenged are not satisfied with saying the Declaration says our rights are endowed by our Creator - as I can interpret that as Natural Law.
No. They want the 10 Comandments displayed everywhere, like that's the law of the land.
And the Jesus Freaks in the Republican Party have made religion a test for office, violating the Constitution.

Romney's speech was sickening. If you ain't a Christian - he's basically saying you are unAmerican, and not fit to hold office.
Yet another reason I look at the Reactionary Republican Party, like I too am from another planet.

To anyone paying attention, this is no surprise.

More interestingly, was all the 'news' stations giving him time (=$$$$$$). That speaks even louder. The corps are running things and he is their best chance and they don't even seem to be hiding it any longer.

To me, that was the big news - him being allowed to do that - what about campaign finance laws? Equal opportunity? Why is'nt anyone squawking about it?

I was embarrased for him. He even brought up why it was wrong,

yet swallowed like a drunk schoolgirl.
