;)

[thewiseguy]

64. ...

:spank:

[npk]

68. Damn Irishman

What's up with you tonight. When Hillary started her speech talking about her accomplishments they showed a shot of Michelle and she had a stern look on her face, like she had a pretense on where the speech might be going. Then when Hillary said down with McCain she smiled. I think Michelle was a little apprehensive about what Hillary was going to say. That's all.

[Drunken Irishman]

75. All this BS concern and nitpicking is getting old.

[npk]

78. That's like the first post where I have said anything critical

of either Michelle or Hillary.

[Drunken Irishman]

90. It's not just you...it's a lot of others here.

Democrats aren't negative enough.
Democrats are boring.
Clinton looks terrible.
Michelle isn't smiling.
The crowd is too bland.

[npk]

101. I really respect what you have to say

Always have. I guess I haven't read all the negative crap that's been going on around here. So I can see where you were coming from.

[Drunken Irishman]

111. Sorry, I didn't mean to come off on you.

I guess you can just take so much little jabs about tonight before your top blows.

[npk]

113. No problem. I can completely understand. n/t

[hexola]

36. didja catch the "proud to be an American" jab

[blondeatlast]

43. She looked pretty happy right there "no way, no how, no McCain."

Standing up and cherring wildly--that's "not too happy"?

[AbbeyRoad]

50. looked like she was concentrating on the speech

to me. that's all

[Barack_America]

62. Yeah, the whole jumping up and clapping thing...

WTF was that all about? How insulting.

:sarcasm:

[aaronbees]

66. I did see her...

[Tatiana]

74. Hills bringing it back to the choice we face.

Money borrowed from the Chinese to buy oil from the Saudis...

Preach it, Hillary... but connect this shit to what Democrats will do.

[mucifer]

76. poor republicans aren't getting the speech they wanted.

[GoesTo11]

77. Let's have some Obama ad material!

[AspenRose]

79. Yes...pay attention "PUMAS"

Why were you in this campaign? Thank you Senator Clinton.

[chascarrillo]

80. Long list of why she ran... and why she says we must support Obama.

Elegant. Brilliant.

Damn, this is a good speech.

[grace0418]

120. Brilliant! My only criticism of the speech was that list went on too long. I get where she was

going and she eventually brought it around to Obama, but it took just a bit too long to get there.

Other than that, it was a fantastic speech. My hat is off to Hillary.

[Bluerthanblue]

81. WOW- she's hitting home- "Were you in it for me? or for.......

now that is class

kudos HIllary.

[Liberalboy]

84. Totally!

Classy speech :-)

[Coexist]

82. lovely shot of Michelle Obama adoring Hillary's speech

that was touching.

[Dinger]

83. I'm A Crybaby

I am sad, can't help it, but proud as well.

[apnu]

85. Bill looks prouder than the day Chelsea graduated high school.

He looks like he's about to cry. I've never seen that on him before. I'm floored.

[Tatiana]

86. Hillary is kicking ass and taking names. GO GIRL!

Democrats know how to do this... as I recall President Clinton did it with the Democrats!!!!!!

CUTE.

[kwyjibo]

87. Bill just blushed. n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

88. Absolute mastery of the moment.

Inclusive, pulling it all together. Wonderful.

[Arkansas Granny]

She is knocking it out of the park!

[AspenRose]

89. Aw that was sweet.

Michelle, Joe and Jill

[Fla Dem]

91. Never doubted her for a minute.....you go girl !!!! n/t

[AspenRose]

92. OK Senator Obama, you have your HRC soundbytes now :-)

The Twin Cities! YES!

[beac]

97. Gives a whole new meaning to

THE BUSH TWINS!

[Liberalboy]

93. Kicking McCain's ass with a smile

[Orangepeel]

94. this is really good

:thumbsup:

[tilsammans]

96. “We don’t need four more years of the last eight years”

Brilliant! Go, Hill!

:yourock:

[AuntPatsy]

98. She just hit it out of the ball park....its good mcbush and bushcain

are going to be together in the twin cities next week because they are exactly alike...

[Willo]

99. Twin line was great

"It makes sense that John McCain and George Bush will will be in the Twin Cities next week, because he's really hard to tell them apart."

[goodgd_yall]

100. Great line about the "Twin Cities"

You can't tell Bush from McCain.:rofl:

[Tatiana]

102. Jesus Christ... I need a Hillary sign. She is hitting this out of the park.

She is showing America what she is made of.

This is truly a shining moment for Hillary. She has truly trailblazed a pathway for women and the underrepresented.

I've got tears in my eyes. WOW!

[bridgit]

103. Girl Got Game!!! Bill is beaming...

Go Hill!! :bounce:

[AspenRose]

104. Damn, HRC is ON FI-YUH!

:-)

[AbbeyRoad]

105. She's giving a wonderful speech

I'm impressed, and I hope this squashs the media meme of the rift in our Party.

[BlueIdaho]

106. Not a moment to loose or a vote to spare - You Go Hillary!!!!

Rip the place down!

[Liberalboy]

107. Wow...

If she had spoken like this during the primaries she so would have won.....WTG Hillary!

[margotb822]

108. I haven't been like HRC too much lately, BUT

I do like this speech. I think she's doing exactly what she needs to do and I really appreciate it. I may have been a Hillary-hater since the primaries have ended, but I can't hate now.

And, anyone that says they voted for Clinton, but is voting for McCain is officially a Republicans. After a speech like that, they've got no traction!

[mzmolly]

109. She was PHENOMINAL!

Wow.

[tedoll78]

110. Let this be a lesson about the mainstream media:

NEVER, EVER let the mainstream media bait you into attacking a fellow Democrat ever again. Too often, we take the bait, fall into the trap, and waste energy fighting amongst ourselves.

Thank you, Hillary!

Now, let's go turn that map blue! :party:

[goodgd_yall]

114. Hear, hear!

:toast:

[RoyGBiv]

116. Absolutely ...

We've got work to do.

And Hillary just made that work a bit easier.

[Willo]

112. Which video do you want play now McCain?

*crickets*

Cuz Hillary just :nuke:d your ass!

[Lil Missy]

115. Absolutely stunning speech!

[Spiffarino]

117. HRC - My new imaginary girlfriend

Wow. Just wow. I knew she was brilliant. I didn't know she was inspiring!

Ladies and gentlemen, meet your future first female president.

[mnhtnbb]

118. PUMAS pack up and go home and elect Obama! Wow. Hillary told 'em!

[Duppers]

119. She hit it out of the park. I'm so proud of her.

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

Unity, unity, unity, unity, unity!

[danielet]

121. Hillary is that every-woman that makes men great

She's a short legged stocky middle-aged woman...BUT HILLARY IS THE FIRST DEMOCRAT SINCE THE 2006 ELECTION TO KICK BUSH AND MCCAIN RIGHT IN THE BALLS!

I've been watching Republicans smugly capturing the ambiguity in Democrat "accommodation" to the "undecided" voters. As a result, two years of dominion of Congress and all they did is hold the Constitution while Bush-Cheney kicked holes in it!

Hillary is a hell of a femist...Yet, she's an old fashion "stand by her man" woman and that's why she lost, staying true to Bill. We should have no regrets and-- LIKE HER-- we should look forward, not backward. But, as a father of two girls and blessed with one hell of a daughter-in-law...but only boys for grandsons, I must say that no matter how it all ends, there's a time to be two contradictory people-- like Hillary as "the bitch" feminist while Hillary as the loyal "stand by her man" woman--and a time to choose which side of the contradiction you are on, no matter how painful and how wrenching on your loyalties. She gave up the Presidency for "HER" man, even though he so often did her wrong...We men who have so often done the same in one way or another to the women that love us, taking the female mainstay of our species for granted, should now say to ourselves: GOD FORGIVE ME...NEVER AGAIN SEXIST.....HENCE, NEVER AGAIN RACIST!

Hillary Clinton payed for our lesson and then, after she payed, she told us what another woman a hundred years ago told slaves: KEEP GOING, NEVER STOP, KEEP GOING.

My mother put my brother and me, as little kids, on a train and a few weeks later lay for four days under the seat of a passenger car praying that no one drop a pencil and find her while bending down to pick it up. My dad dragged us to America, insisting that it is the "Paradise of Freedom," and then got cold feet, convinced that as a European doctor he could never meet American standards. She shook him and said: go take that license exam and don't dare think that there's any chance you'll fail. He passed. Yet, he got into "Who's Who" and not a word was mentioned about that female courage that got us, and her, out to join my father and in freedom and professional success instead of living as slaves of Stalin; she, as much as he, made him a leader of AMERICAN medicine.

Tomorrow Bill Clinton will talk and never will he say: had Hillary ever chosen to dump me I might never have ended as this "superhero president." No, men only remember women as they seduced them, not as these women build a world around them.

And then, Michelle Obama must be the rock on which Barak stand....So, no doubt it must, therefore, be easy for him to say: thanks, Michelle, I couldn't without you.

We old boomers-- especially those who seek to evade age with Viagra, think of testosterone while in desperate need of insulin. Hillary today said to us American fat, white boomers what my mom said to my dad: DON'T BE A CHICKEN SHI-T AND RUN SCARED BECAUSE OF A RACE RACE!

The Democratic Convention began with two tall marble FEMALE pillars of the future, both laying out the real issues. All the guys who talked were as dubious about their views as they seemed about their gender. So as I look at the girls in my family after Hillary spoke I say to them: please lend us some of that Hillary type courage so we don't chicken-out wondering if our fellow boomers will accept a black man in the WHITE House. THERE IS CLEAR REASON WHY HILLARY INVOKED MS. TUBMAN: BECAUSE SHE IS EMBLEM OF THE WOMAN LED STRUGGLE TO AROUSE THIS NATION'S MORAL COURAGE AGAINST THE SCOURGE OF RACISM. AND STILL, TO DATE, WE HAVE YET TO BEAT SEXISM. This too Hillary reminded us.

So let Hillary's speech motivate you to take part in the campaign. YOU MUST, FOR YOU ARE FIGHTING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF EVIL. But when you start pissing in your socks thinking that the Republican scumbags are beating you with a RACE RACE, remember Tubman and Hillary and MIchelle: they kept going, just as my mom kept going, so you fat ass middle aged boomers get off your asses and fight to save your CHILDREN'S AMERICA from they betrayal you allowed the Republicans. If you again give it to the criminals behind the dying McCain, you will have passed on to your children nothing but one sperm each to procreate them and raise them in this miserable Bush-McCain America.

My son-- a native American-- was going to leave this his homeland, so despaired was he by Bush's re-election. I dreaded the idea that my refugee past begins anew in the next generation of my family but now in the opposite direction. Yet, what could I say having imbecilically supported Bush in 2000. But his wife said NO, we stay and fight. Well, Hillary said to all of you shivering cowards: NO, YOU STAY AND FIGHT AGAINST THIS EVIL RACE RACE. Michelle explained to you in patient detail why you must. Now you go out there and tell the neighbors that we must put out this fire of Republican avarice that is consuming America...And tell them: Hey, boomer chickenshi-ts, if Hillary can lose and not give up, how can you give up now just because the evil scum is running a race race?

See you on the corner, where we bring in our neighbors for Obama, one by one, remembering the generous female courage Hillary gave us tonight and the many reasons Michelle gave us last night!
