I read it and it was typical Kucinich, and again, he is one the most transparent and honest guys out there about what he thinks. Of course, nothing he says sways me, but that's OK.

I watched it and was....well, amused. This is a case where mannerisms and delivery definitely made an impact distracting from his message. Which is exactly why I read political speeches.

So take THAT, ISM! Your evil experiment has failed!:)

Will not make deprecatory Ronald Reagan comment, will not, will not will not

But I'm thinkin' it.

Different people get distracted by different things. While I thought Reagan was a terrific communicator, I more appreciated his policies. You can say you found him distracting or unpleasant to listen to, but I would figure you'd be in the minority (perhapos not here, but overall).

I couldn't stand to LOOK AT the man. Not to get into it all, but Reagan is to me what Hillary is to scaeagles. As MbC wisely pointed out, our respective opinions of these public figures make them out to be more like sinister characters from a political novel than real, human politicians of great ambition.

But that's the case. I won't be swayed. Neither, I daresay, will scaeagles.

Indeed.

Looks like Obama might have his bounce after all. Today's polls:

Gallup - Obama up 8
CBS - Obama up 8
Rasmussen - Obama up 6
CNN - Obama up 2
USA Today - Obama up 7
Hotline - Obama up 9

I don't think that's Obama's bounce as much as McCain's trounce.



Or, taken a different way, maybe Obama did get a bounce from the party's national convention.

Just not the convention of his party.

On the way home from the convention:


Must be nice to know G-d is on your side:

If a Republican had said this.....it would be on every news network 24/7(which kinda proves my point about the media leaning left)

In this day and age, why are people stupid enough to say anything anywhere?

Pfft. Yes it's dumb, but who hasn't made the occasional "God's on our team" joke? It's supposed to be private humor, not a public broadcast.

But just goes to show, if you're in politics and the public eye, you gotta be REALLY careful all the time.
