I am so sick and tired of magnanimous Democratic spokesmen
I could scream. Steve McMahon dismissed out of hand the notion that there was anything of substance to the cone of silence story. True to form Tod Harris handed him his head by arguing that Obama was sore about showing so poorly and therefore had to discredit McCain's performance. Needless to say our guy was on the defensive from that moment on. We are not dealing with people who honor the Marquis of Queensberry rules. They lie and cheat and ridicule. And they will attack and attack and attack. I don't give a rat's ass whether Steve gets along with Tod personally. If you accept an invitation to represent the Party then, by God, come out swinging and concede nothing that could hurt the GOP. Abandon your magnaminity the second the red light goes on.

1. Yep McMahon was stupid
and realized it as soon as the GOP talking head opened his disgusting mouth.

6. Yeah, you could see the horror on his face as his good friend
Tod cut him to shreds. I actually like McMahon but when is he and the rest of our folks going to learn that attack and counterattack is the name of the game. No more beanbag with these creeps.

7.  We have a great candidate. Our spokespeople need to be
upgraded significantly.

3. It's like we are sharing the same mind right now.
I was screaming at the TV when he said that. The GOP spokesman went right for the jugular. WTF is with some of these Dem surrogates? They bring peashooters to gunfights. Is the Party sending them or do the networks pick them?

4. Thank goodness I don't watch anything other than KO
other than by accident. I would be raging right about now.
Instead, everything is nice and calm, and the Olympics are
interesting.
