Sugar daddy scrapbooking kits. Sugar daddy lyrics. Sugar daddy. Sugar daddy 101….

I must admit, I got a little caught up in the speculation that Hillary Rodham….Clinton was going to use the opportunity of her convention speech last night to slap Barack Hussein Obama with the snub to end all snubs.  No,……

Doesn’t anybody realize that if this should succeed, it will have a huge negative effect on our political system, which is already under assault from the rabid anarchist left, and the criminalization of (R) politics spearheaded by the “grownup” left.

If Obama is nominated through a contrived process, it will open the floodgates of cynicism. It won’t hurt Obama that much because he will be under the media cone of silence, and his party will be busy “falling in line”. But it will hurt the tradition of transparency in American politics that has grown up in the last 40 years. It will be yet another lost value we will have the Dems to thank for.

What was that thing the Dems were always shouting in 2004? “Count Every Voice?” “Count Every Volunteer?” Can’t remember, but it was “Count Every V-O-something“, I’m sure of it.

and who will be the happiest woman in america should b.Hussein lose??

Hillary!!! oh yeah she’ll endorse obama with a smile, as she is twisting the knife in his back!!

hell hath no fury…

the happiest woman in America would be me

* executive position in government = 0
* leadership position in military = 0
* any position in military = 0
* leadership position in private sector = 0
* law firm partnerships achieved = 0
* number of real jobs Biden’s held = 0

In his case it’s hardcore Marxists, political fixers, race-baiting preachers and rich white terrorists.

I take that back, since we now know that his housing project created a hardcore slum and the Annenberg project failed even by its own standards.

They’re preparing themselves for the disaster to come, emotionally and politically.

if only.

But even Republicans seem to count on it (Bradley Effect).

Count on it? How do they count on it versus be aware of it? Or acknowledge its existence?

Are they encouraging it? Do they look at the polls and think “Yesss! The Bradley Effect! Goooo racists! We’re counting on you!”

Quietly, though, a strain of worry has crept into conversations in Denver

Reese Hopkins is an African-American talk show host on Boston’s WRKO. He’s a moderate conservative. He’s in Denver for the convention, broadcasting live. About an hour ago he said Obama is doomed. According to him, all the talk, even by those running the convention, is “disdainful” toward the Obama campaign. According to him, the talk among themselves is all about his ego and being the most famous person ever to run for the White House. He says the environment is “safe” and so the talk is unguarded. He says the response to Michelle’s speech today is, “whatever.”

Liberals are their own worst enemy.

Exactly and remember, lawyers and legislators in this country pretty much do the same thing – they are both professional critics, at some level.

They’re the ones who tell citizens, you’ve done wrong and here’s how to remedy it.

That’s one thing when you are a lawyer, that’s what you do.

But to legislate, to critique, to essentially tell fellow citizens, how you’re running your company is wrong, or how you’re running your state is wrong . . .

Shouldn’t you have to have some sort of “in the trenches experience”? Seems to me the Democrats are full of generals who never had to serve in the infantry and who never commanded a platoon, much less a division.

That’s precisely why Democrats are so inherently useless. They have no convictions on how things get done in this country, because they have no experience.

They do what their special interests tell them to do and they are selected for Democrat Party leadership precisely because they have no personal convictions to trip them up.

Successful Democrats “throw under the bus” everyone and everything that gets in their way. That’s how they thrive. Whether it’s so-called “Catholics” and their faith or Obama and his close friends, the only ethics Democrats adhere to is the ethic of having no ethics.

Jim Beasley, the commissioner of Ohio’s Department of Transportation, did not have high hopes for Obama in his area of southern Ohio. “Ahhh, well. Rural Ohio will be difficult,” he said. “Rural areas are difficult for him.”

San Francisco translation:
“Bitter, clingey, religious, racists in flyover country”…

Barack and Michelle Obama: Lawyers
Bill and Hillary Clinton: Lawyers
Joe Biden: Lawyer
John Edwards: Lawyer
John Kerry: Lawyer
Harry Reid: Lawyer
Gore: If memory serves went to law school but didn’t finish.

It’s a party of lawyers, lacking leadership with an understanding of how the real world works economically or practically.

Racism FTW?

Ugh. It’s sad and disappointing that republicans count on these types of votes.

lorien1973 on August 26, 2008 at 10:01 AM

Not a single Republican has voted against Barack Obama yet. All the racism directed at the False God has come from his own party.

+1..

the MSM will proclaim it the greatest speech ever

and be completely forgotten within a week.. like his others.

But only a lawyer can do that. Because the legal profession will do what they do best, obfuscate the issue. Tell us again how lucky we are for being up to our armpits in lawyers.

We need a lawyer to tell us the roles that lawyers play that are beneficial to the American people and separate them from the areas where lawyers manipulate the legal system in order to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else in our country.

In short, we need a lawyer to decipher the thicket of obfuscation lawyers use to hide their nefarious activities.

The partial birth Obama phase of the campaign wasn’t popular with anyone except die-hard marxists and hedonists, i.e., the democrat party base.

For starters, I’d humbly suggest we take all punitive damages and turn them over to the jurisdiction in which the case is decided, like a fine. The lawyers don’t get one penny. Then find a way to curb venue shopping and we’re moving in the right direction.

Agree completely. If you are injured, that’s what compensatory damages are for.

Additionally, compensatory damages are decided at a lower civil standard, preponderence of the evidence. That is, if your evidence is better than the other guys, then you win.

Punishment needs to be decided at the higher criminal standard. Beyond a reasonable doubt.

Beyond that, we need to go to some type of loser pays system.

I like the variant where if the defendant makes a good faith offer before trial, and it is turned down, then when the plaintiff wins, the plaintiff is responsible for trial costs. (Good faith could be defined as an offer that turns out to be within, say, 10% of the jury award.) In this case, it was the plaintiff that forced an unneccessary trial, by refusing the good faith offer.
