Romney steps on McCain's speech--who stepped on Huckabee's speech: MRP congratulates wrong winner!
The funny begins in Michigan soon after the results were called by the networks. While McCain was just beginning to deliver his concession speech, Romney starts his speech early and FOX cuts away from him abruptly. That was no accident apparently.
Hume: Well, Mitt Romney's decided not to wait for John McCain to finish, he's the winner so we feel obligated to go to him---Mitt Romney in Michigan.

Earlier in the above clip---while Huckabee was delivering his loser speech, it appears that McCain did the same thing to him. Ouch! I wonder if the media will give this any coverage? I wouldn't hold my breath since it makes Republicans look like they lack a certain amount of civility and they can't have any of that. And as Billw pointed out:
The Michigan Republican Party mistakenly sent out a news release Tuesday night congratulating John McCain for winning the state's GOP primary.
So is there any doubt left that these guys are all assholes?
I thought cockfighting was illegal in the US?
Ha!
Republicans gettin schooled in Karma.
Truth & Beauty
The three stooges. If the Dems can't beat these guys in November (especially with Bush's disapproval at 66 percent and "America on the wrong track" rating at 77 percent) then we'll need to start a new Party.
None of the video links are working this morning.
And Romney wants to be my latex salesman.
Shameless Lying ... the Republican Moral Standard.
During all these 'reported' contretemps, such as the Dems 'race' controversy, we must keep our eye on the 'reporters', the MSM.
First, though objectivity is a 'goal' of reporting, it is a figment, not a fact. And whether you believe the MSM is pro-Reps, or pro-Dems, you can be damned sure the MSM is pro-MSM.
So, since 'MSM' is a code word for MAJOR CORPORATION, and REAL RICH 'PLAYER', take that into account when you consider their biases. Anything the MSM can do to stir dissent and disrupt the Dems will benefit their bottom line, instantly and in the long run. Consider: if the MSM could give the Reps a shot at winning the '08 election, wouldn't they do it? And if they didn't try to influence the election in that direction, wouldn't they be derelict in their duty to their 'stockholders'?
So count on it, the MSM is going to favor the Reps, the Party-in-Power, the Good Old Boys who give them tax breaks and subsidies, and enough slop at the government trough so they can afford to pay their lobbyists enough to properly bribe the Reps.
The Windows Play didn't work for me :(
Go by your description, it sounds like a dog fu*k to me.
All these guys are so pathetic - funny, but pathetic. It's like watching the Keystone Candidates.
Umm, Oops. Going by your description, it sounds like a dog fu*k to me.
Sorry about that chief.
Seven point two years of republican terrorism on Americans. I hope Americans get off their fat asses for the Elections. The Economy usually hits them where it hurts.
Groceries, Gas, Mortgages, Schooling, excess govt. spending on a war that was illegal and still is.
Pass the popcorn, watching repubs in a cluster-F*** is great entertainment.
Everyone should go read Glenn Greenwald today.
They'd beat children and old ladys for seats in a lifeboat.

Breaking the Sound Barrier: Democracy Now! Re-Hosts NBC Las Vegas Debate to Include Kucinich After NBC Wins Appeal to Exclude Him
theWalrus @ 4:
Didn't everyone say this about Pelosi & Reid on 06? They got in, & nothing was done. What do you think is going to change, a different color of paint on our prison cell walls?
O.T. a bit. The votes are in at msnbc for who won the debates last night. Clinton 20%. Obama 72%. Edwards 8.1%. Who are the bozos that voted in this poll. We know that the commentaters tried to focus away from John Edwards and the media this morning almost treated him like Kucinich, as if he wasn't even there. I felt that Edwards was the most consistant with his message and his message is for change by taking our government back. I participated in the thread last night and there were a bunch of comments by people who wren't even watching the debate. I have to wonder if the voters in msnbc's poll watched it, also. I would like to see what the rest of you think.

Sadly the Supreme Court overruled and NBC gets to exclude Kucinich.

I've been a GG fan since day one. He great. It's really amazing to see how these MSM "journalist/reporters" respond to criticism. Obviously it's not something they are used to reading - certainly not over the last 7 years. It's about time they're held accountable for the words and actions. Go Glenn!
JohnnyThief @ 17:
Note I said a "new" Party, not a replacement Party. Let the R's & D's continue their corrupt dance off the cliff. It's clear to me that we need a new Party with clearly defined humanistic, progressive principles and candidates that defend those principles. It will probably take decades for this new Party to gain momentum but the current system is broke and beyond repair.
I'm disappointed Fox didn't cut away from Romney's victory speech to catch Rudy's latest "I'm exactly where I wanna be" speech.
Ron #18 Those polls were just pulled out of someone's butt! Obama and Hillary used a whole bunch of words to say almost nothing last night. Edwards was the only one on the stage that actually made any points. Obama and Hillary both need to learn that hope and change are just words and not real positions on the issues. Obama wants to bring people together to debate the issues but debating isn't doing and Hillary will take her orders from the DLC and her Corporate Masters. We are so screwed and it's happened because we no long have a free or fair media.

"Heh heh, thank you Michigan! I appreciate it. Like Ari was just telling you all, two percent was our target, and we blew through that ceiling the way those hijackers tore through the World Trade Center on September 11th. I want to thank all my supporters. Small incremental steps has been my plan all along -- hey! whaddya mean I'm not going out live on Fox?! Hello? Rupert...? *tap* *tap* Hullo . . . Is there anybody out there...?"
Mental midgets sitting around laughing at liberal's who had the guts to sign a republican ticket??
You folks aren't just idiots, you're Darwin's Nominee's!

I would love to be a fly on the wall of the Giuliani and Thompson camps this morning. Just listening to them all commissurate over the fact that Ron Paul kicked their asses in Michigan and he didn't campaign there either!! Wonder if they'll demand a re-count!!
I already told ABC that they should replace Giuliani's picture with Ron Paul's.
Here's a handy synopsis of the Ron Paul Revolution 2008 in today's L.A. Times:

We really have to break the mold on this media hold they have over the elections. Don't pay attention to the polls and vote with your heart and an educated thought.
Can Brit Hume talk out of his ass? Just curious, because what comes out of his mouth sounds like sh*t. Just an observation.
Loonie @ 21:
*slowly shakes hers too and crosses eyes*
It's incredible that Grandpa McCain can't even say, "Thank you all, My Friends" without reading it from his prepared speech. Sad...
I can't put it any more succinctly than this spot on analysis by Mark Morford in the SF Gate "Right now, the various spurts of venom aimed at Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama from conservative pundits and politicos are, at best, scattershot and convulsive, with only MSNBC's Chris Matthews proving himself to be a consistent blowhard jackass in his relentless slamming of Hillary by claiming that she only made it this far due to adultery-survivor sympathy. Hey, Chris? 2001 called. It wants its puerile, sexist analysis back. Thank you"...and "After all, the right has its own heaping bucket of problems right now, not the least of which is the weakest and craziest and least palatable field of GOP contenders in 50 years. There's the chipper creationist nutball who loves him some Chuck Norris, the stupefied Mormon mannequin who simply cannot believe the world is so icky and complicated, the doddering Iraq-loving war vet who seems to be getting more unstable by the minute, and the cross-dressing former New York mayor who has "9/11" tattooed on his ego in fake blood. And oh yes, a zany old anti-choice libertarian who somehow keeps raising piles of cash and sending fascinating postcards from the edge of political reason. Cool!"

If the voters are reluctant to have a woman or a black man as the president, why aren't they pushing the leading white democratic male. Answer: Simple, they know they can't beat Edwards and the corporations fear him. If it's a woman or a black man, they think they can win.
Hey!
When ith thomebody going to congratulate
Thindy BradyRudy Giuliani on his whopping 3% victory last night??? Come on, getting beaten by Ron Paul, who received over twice the votesThe ExploiterRudy did, deserves some kind of (snicker snicker) positive recognition.Chicago Joe @ 38:
well 911 changed everything damit!
Way back in April, 2001, that very good publication The Washington Monthly printed an article by Stephanie Mencimer entitled "Theocracy in American: What Gentile life in Mormon Utah can teach us about church and state."
Someone really needs to reprint this in light of Mitt's campaign.
What the hell was that music that preceded Romney's speech? Sounded like Argentinian techo-pimp.

Oops! Damn those Diebold machines, they didn't operate "properly"!
Not to fault those at Crooks and Liars (or maybe I'm too bleary eyed to see it), but I'm surprised to see no mention of Mutt Romney's (not a typo) ridiculous speech, saying, "Washington is to blame" for all the problems, as if 16 months of the Dumbocrats has caused more damage than 7 years of ReThugnicans, as if Chicken George's ReThugnican ineptitude had nothing to do with it.
Different Anonymous @ 51:
Kucinich is paying for a recount of the New Hamphire primary. Apparently diebold machines picked Hillary and those damn unreliable paper ballots picked Barrack. Ron Paul was also impacted. Audio Here
McCrazy said "Mexicans" instead of "Michigans".
Wow what a clusterfuck that was. Candidates sideswiping each other's speeches and then the state GOP congratulating McLame. You can't make this stuff up folks.
McCain will understand that it's all part of the fight. (His wife has a black baby, you know.)
stupid comments from dumb fucking liberals
