I’m afraid all is lost, forget Ed, forget Allah, forget most conservative pundits, they all shiver in fear for their own survival and will acquiesce by becoming part of the Obama-nation. Just like O’Reilly its time to bow to the new master and prostate oneself in the name of racial harmony. I will continue to observe, look/listen/feel and look forward to celebrating the inevitable capitulation to a bunch of leftist opportunist whores. Time to hunker down and get seriously ugly. I’ve enjoyed most of you and truly despised others, such was life in America! Michelle et al; please understand my frustration, you offer nothing tangible to defeat Obama and only criticism of McCain, how is this acceptable to so called conservative blog? F most of you, and to those I respect…good luck and may God have mercy on your soul.

Let the bodies hit the floor……………

Barack speaking the General Petraeus! Film at 11.

He’s counting on that film. My money is on his having a skeptical and furrowed look on his face. I’ll bet there’s a fight in BHO’s war room – “I can take him! I’ll condemn the war to his face” “Sir, we think that may not be the…uh…best idea for you.”

Maybe McCain’s campaign would do better by pointing out the hypocrisy of the supposedly objective media

There’s the real hoot. You can look for: “Andrea, could he look any better?…” “We can feel the thrill of the crowd all the way up here in the booth…” “I can’t help but be reminded of some of Churchill’s most stirring speeches…”

The Columbia trip is a good example of joining with the leaders of that nation to show solidarity in maintaining our trade agreements.JonPrichard on July 17, 2008 at 2:41 PM

Do you mean the “agreement” that Pelosi won’t even let come to the floor for a vote?

Like the interview with Wolfie Blitzer where Pelosi said off-shore drilling “was not in HER plans” to come to a floor vote, the democrats are sooooo out of touch with what this nation is demanding.

14% disaproval rating and they still blame Boooosh after two years in control. PATHETIC

1. McCain networked gathering intelligence and alliances pro-USA policies, and always observed international diplomatic protocol, never upstaging the leader of the country he visits. (Heck, McCain plays Mr. Nice Guy to Obamarx himself at his own expense since Obama hasn’t the etiquette to respond with proper decorum.)
2. Obama networks giving up intelligence selling out to the highest bidder, promoting anti-American policy, and has disregard for international protocol as he would dismiss Merkel in order to have his own way.

Germany is already in a swoon over Mr Obama and near-constant comparisons are made between him and President John F Kennedy, who is still revered, especially in Berlin.

LOL! As though the Germans don’t know that it was JFK’s puss that LET Kruschev build the Berlin Wall, INEFFECTIVE in face to face confrontation! At least the British know that it was JFK that let Kruschev have our missile technology and remove our missiles from Turkey in exchange for the USSR “backing down” removing the missile threat from Cuba. Everyone knows what a drug addict JFK was, so is THAT also the parallel Europeans swoon over for BHO? JFK may have had youth for show, but he was no great President in fact. BHO has the same youth and inexperience as JFK, but unlike JFK, BHO hasn’t a birth certificate to prove his candidacy’s legitimacy. So any comparison is mere rhetoric. What they share in common politically is definitely a moot point.

Of course, on that day, the MSM will decide that the highest priority is continuous coverage of the Olympic decathlon from start to finish. No cameras allowed when Obama gets a one-way trip to the woodshed.

All-in, indeed..

Works great for Roger at Fox, why not for Ed at HA…?

I wasn’t objecting. :)

Ed, don’t take this the wrong way–I love ya and all–but sometimes I find it very difficult to discern the topic of a post from what you put on the front page. :-)

DaveS on July 17, 2008 at 1:45 PM

Yeah. I just the hottie’s phone number on the front page. After seeing that I found myself not caring much about the substance of Ed’s post :P

The Germany trip could backfire in the same way the large stadium venue at the convention might. Could be the affair will look a lot like a Hitler rally. Is that a good message to send from Germany?

This may have been a great point to make — before McCain traveled to Canada, Mexico, and Colombia to make major policy speeches in the last few weeks

Don’t forget those trips he made to Czechoslavakia, Formosa, and the Ottoman Empire.

It is not a “Fact finding trip” and it is a campaign rally overseas.

McCain made a campaign rally overseas, and didn’t call it a “Fact finding trip.”

There is no problem with this – whatsoever. This is completely stupid of an issue to make.

.
There may be a problem if the candidates are using taxpayer money for the travel and arrangements. Isn’t Obama traveling as a member of a Congressional delegation?
IIRC Senator McCain used a corporate jet (Cindy’s) for at least some of his trips.
