Best line of the day, so far

I’m finding the Republican attempts to derail the conversation from the actual state of the country really depressing and disgraceful this year. They practice Orwellian politics of the crudest sort. They are trying to sell a big lie–that the election is about the social issues of the 1960s, or Barack Obama’s patriotism or his eloquence, or the “angry left,” when it’s really about turning toward a more moderate path after the ideological radicalism and malfeasance of the past eight years.

If you’re on-board with what the GOP is doing, fine — but at least admit it to yourself.

But as for NewMexiKen, their America is not the America I live in.

  1. I like how they have attempted to keep the talk of Palin focused on her pregnant daughter rather than the fact that she supported a secessionist political party…even while sitting in the governor’s chair.

    So much for our Constitution.

    Wal-Mart has had employee meeting in which their managers have told rank and file employees to vote for McCain and that anyone who works for Obama may be looking for another job elsewhere. That’s blatently illegal.

    Speaks volumes about Wal-Mart and the Republicans.

  2. Last night at the Republican National Convention, John McCain used the word “fight” more than 40 times in his speech.

    In the 16 years that we have served together in the Senate, I have seen John McCain fight.

    I have seen him fight against raising the federal minimum wage 14 times.

    I have seen him fight against making sure that women earn equal pay for equal work.

    I have seen him fight against a women’s right to choose so consistently that he received a zero percent vote rating from pro-choice organizations.

    I have seen him fight against helping families gain access to birth control.

    I have seen him fight against Social Security, even going so far as to call its current funding system “an absolute disgrace.”

    And I saw him fight against the new GI Bill of Rights until it became politically untenable for him to do so.

    Senator Barbara Boxer
