Serious ?? to anyone watching the cable news wraps - is ANYONE rebutting the bullshit we heard
tonight? During the DNC it seems that the major newsshows stacked the deck with Right wing pundits. Wasn't this week supposed to be the reverse? I get the impression that it is NOT happening and that the panels are either mixed or right wing once more. Is anyone taking apart point by point the errors and inaccuracies in Thompson or LIEberman's bullshit? If not WHY NOT? Or is the plan to let them have their party this week and go for the juglar once the conventions are over?

I realize that the RNC is a small collection of mostly fringe nutcases, and probably wasn't all that widely viewed - but I have to admit that even though we have the strongest candidates by far and a great campaign organization, I fear that they are going to do it again....

1. Surprisingly, it's Harold Ford, Jr.
He called Newt Gingrich and Fred Thompson out on their boosteration of Sarah Palin and said they make her out to have more experience than John McCain himself. He said McCain has never been an executive, never governed a state, and has mostly written and given speeches during his career.

2. Yeah, according to Newt, no one who has ever served in any capacity
except Governor or mayor is fit to be President. No one. Which certainly eliminates McCain. And most of our Presidents.

3. Ah, but there's one other important qualification.
You have to have been commander of the Alaska National Guard.

Otherwise, no sale.

Barack Obama has never been commander of the Alaska National Guard. Game over, man. How can we even THINK of him as a potential president?? :rofl:

4. No, Chris Mathews just let Heather Wilson say 2x that Leiberman
was our VP choice 4 years ago.

Have not seen one Democrat interviewed.

Thank GOd for Keith Correcting their lies.
