Clinton Blames Obama for RFK Assassination Controversy...UPDATE

Sun May 25, 2008 at 08:48:55 PM PDT

No Snark Intended.

H. Clinton feels that Obama has crossed the line by fanning the flames that perpetuate her latest gaffe.

UPDATE:  Just like Obama, I would have let the gaffe go, but when you blame the incident on your opponent in the hope of making yourself look like the victim of the front runner is inexcusable

I just gave $100 to Obama! Why?!?!  and Poll and UPDATE

Fri May 23, 2008 at 08:47:37 PM PDT

I believe the most revolutionary thing to happen in American Politics would be to put a person in the Oval Office that will stand out among all the previous presidents we have ever had in this country.

The Bush Emoticon?!?!  With Poll

Fri Feb 22, 2008 at 11:52:22 AM PDT

;!)

Notice the wink to his base!

Notice the Pinnochio nose for the rest of us.

Notice the smile for, maybe, his Daddy.  "Huh I got away with it, despite what you told me."

I hope this becomes the US standard for the representation of Bush43.

In fact I hope it becomes universal.  So all you text messengers out there it is time to get busy.

10 reasons why I support Edwards for President. UPDATE

Wed Sep 26, 2007 at 03:33:48 PM PDT

Edwards has the best line of the campaign so far.  His line has inspired me to "re" believe in my own sig. line.

I heard him say this line during one of the first debates.  I heard him say it again at the Harkin Steak Fry.  I love this line and I think it resonates with our country.  Especially since our current president wants us to shop for democracy and shut the hell up.

I know your are asking yourself,  Gator you said there were 10 reasons."

Well here they are....

Bush Lies!

In case you didn't know.  WMD in Iraq, Yellow cake, Aluminum tubes, "Mushroom Cloud," Progress in Iraq,  Rebuilding NOLA, Mars human expedition, "Mission Accomplished!" "I answer to a higher father."

Bush Lies.

It may seem like common knowledge around here, but about 25% of the nation needs to be informed.

I just can't let this go: "The KKK is the Republican Base."  I am deeply disappointed in my home blog and I decided to write Bill O'Reilly an email.  If this diary gets any coverage, I hope we all grow from it.  I decided to post this out of respect to my home blog.  If I can tell BillO then I can say the same thing to all of you.  But I want to make it clear that I pleaded for moderation.

Contact Harold Ford and invite him to "bring the factions together."  Ask him to make his best case.  We bring success to the table.  Ask him what he brings to the table.  While your at it ask him to stop appearing on FOX.  Party unity is very important no matter how bad GWB43 screws up the country and turns most Americans against the GOP, but we need party unity.

I want to give every Kossack attending YearlyKos my best wishes and have a great time.  I cannot attend this year I just have too much going on.  I'll search for you on C-Span and I'll help keep the blog warm, but I would like to make a small contribution to the discussion taking place in Chicago.  My best wishes are contained within the Four Freedoms that Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed to the nation as the guiding values to lead us through the dark days of World War II.
