This story tells us that, while the Repugs continue to delude themselves in St. Paul......Barack Obama took a swipe at Republicans today while talking about jobs in eastern Ohio.Of course not. Were they to do so, they would have to acknowledge their record of utter failure.
The Democratic presidential nominee criticized the GOP for not discussing the economy Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention.
"All these speakers came up. You did not hear a single word about the economy. Now think about it: Not once did people mention the hardships that folks are going through," Obama said at a Kent State University branch campus in New Philadelphia. "Not once did they mention what are we going to do about keeping jobs here in Ohio."
Oh, and in response to Holy Joe's lie about how Obama never worked with Repugs in the Senate, I should note that "Republicans For Obama" seems to be doing just fine, with former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee (pictured) stumping for the Democratic nominee in St. Petersburg, FL (here)...
Chafee was the lone Senate Republican to vote against the Iraq War resolution. He lost his seat in 2006 to a Democrat, then registered as an independent and cast a ballot for Barack Obama in the presidential primary, his first vote for a Democrat. A recent survey suggests he may not be alone in his dissatisfaction.Finally, concerning Palin, K.O. called Mike Huckabee on the latter's BS about the Alaska governor receiving more votes than Joe Biden here (I can't make this stuff up, my friends).
An August poll by American Research Group Inc. found that about 34 percent of Republicans and 73 percent of independents disapprove of Bush's job performance. And Chafee argued Tuesday that politically McCain is not appreciably different from Bush.
Louis Kwall, a Clearwater lawyer and Republican who supports Obama, agreed. He said McCain's vice presidential choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a Christian conservative, was evidence that he will continue the ideological partisanship of Bush.

I sit and wonder how these liars can stand there and smile knowing they are lying.
The speeches were written for them and of course it is all about performance. They are rehearsed and prepared.
I heard Bill Kristol helped write her speech. I would not be surprised.
Palin was the neo con choice, not McCains. The Hanoi Hilton could not break McCain. The neo cons did.
Country First my eye...it is election first.
I hope this is the last we see of Lieberman. He is neither a democrat, a republican or an independent. He is a failed opportunist.
Regarding the lying, they've no doubt been ordered to toe the new line, as it were, which is to create this "culture of resentment" BS all over again, including the whole "Washington insider" thing (and how dumb would you have to be to buy into that, knowing how long McBush has been taking up space in the Senate?).
And if Kristol Mess wrote anything for Palin, I'm sure an errata will be issued at any moment. Also, among the many powerful reasons to vote for Dems, one would be to ensure enough of a Senate majority that Lie-berman would be stripped of his committee posts to the point where he would make it official and become a Repug at long last (of course, he'd be in the same failed boat with the rest of the neocon fossils, which is just where he belongs).
