The Party's Over - Revisited

It seems the wheels are coming off the “straight talk express” as the Republican Party desperately tries to shake the (R) that follows their names in an attempt to gain credibility with the American people.

But the damage is done and America remembers. We are a forgiving people and we realize that we all make mistakes, however how can anyone forgive the gaffes of this magnitude? The Republican party has always voted along party lines and have supported each other no matter how bone headed the policies are, inflicting more and more wounds to our country.

Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes.

Now the time has come to pay the piper. Accountability seems to be something foreign to the party of family values and now that it appears their day of reckoning is close at hand, they scurry like rats leaving a sinking ship. This is transparent in the campaign ads running for some candidates where their party affiliation is conveniently left out of the canned script.

They, for good reason, seem to be ashamed of their party. Yet they hold on tightly to the same Republican values. Barack Obama said you could put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. That statement holds a great deal of truth when it comes to the Republicans.

Just take a trip back eight years in history and remember the arrests and convictions, remember the accusations, remember the corruption exposed and remember the scandals that not only shook their party, but shook the very foundation of America.

And the American people DO remember.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly Lost the War On Terror.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly Got Us Into Iraq.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly have allowed our great infrastructure to deteriorate into despotism that abandons the poor in wakes of disasters like Katrina.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly denied Americans better opportunities for Healthcare.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly fought increasing the Minimum Wage so that workers could afford to LIVE.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly got us into our current mortgage Crisis by allowing Banks to issue predatory loans.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly got us into our current economic Crisis by Feeding the Greed Of Wall Street.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly blocked attempts to work on Global Climate Change and denied its very existence in the face of science.

We Remember Republicans Singlehandedly got us into our Constitutional Crisis by turning a blind eye to Bush's power grab and then legalizing his crimes.

Yes, Republicans. America remembers all too well what you have done to our country.

I consider it my patriotic duty as an American citizen to make sure people remember. Let us not forget the Tom Delay’s of the world, the Larry Craig’s, the Scooter Libby’s. They are all serving out or soon will begin serving sentences for the crimes they have committed. But let us not forget the ones that still need to be held accountable for their criminal and treasonous actions. The George Bush’s, the Dick Cheney’s, the Rumsfeld’s, the Rice’s – the list goes on and on and on.

The “shock and awe” perpetrated by this administration against America cannot go unpunished. History will no doubt cast a shining light of discontent against them, showing Bush as the absolute worse President America has ever seen, but that is nowhere near enough. Criminal acts have been committed and justice must prevail to assure us all that the system still works. We cannot let these deeds go unpunished. We must hold these criminals accountable.

What message will it send to the rest of the world if we don’t?

It will make us accomplices to their crimes and just as guilty as them.

There is a lot at stake when we go to the polls in November, to cast our vote for the next President of the United States. We will tell the world that we either support the crimes against humanity of the last eight years or we want to correct our course as a nation and return once again to our former greatness.

What’s it going to be? Are you a criminal or a patriot?

Republican Distraction

The Republican strategy during this election has been a stroke of genius.

They know damn well that they can’t focus on issues or candidate integrity, so what’s left for them to do?

Shock and awe.

You all remember that catch phrase from the beginning of the Iraq debacle right? That’s the strategy where everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at the target with the intent to illicit feelings of “shock and awe.” Which is exactly what the GOP campaign is doing in their desperate attempt to deceive the American public into thinking that their candidates are the better choice.
However, reality paints a far different picture. One would have to be half blind and stupid to believe the rhetoric coming from the right and to be quite honest, I am offended as an American that they would think we are so stupid to fall for this pathetic gimmicky ploy.

But I have to give the devil his due. Looking around at the various political blogs and websites, I am disturbed to see the majority of the discussion about the Republican candidates and little about the Obama/Biden ticket, the true party of change.

But to ignore the things coming out of the GOP camp would be irresponsible. So what does an Obama supporter like me do to stay focused on the issues? Things like our disastrous economy, the occupation of Iraq, the skyrocketing price of fuel and escalating jobless statistics, just to name a few.

You see, the Republicans can’t focus on these issues because they are responsible for these problems. History of both GOP candidates proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt, despite the term of change they pirated from the Obama/Biden campaign. The only change the GOP ticket represents is a change in leadership with the same failed policies of the previous administration. The same continued stripping away of Constitutional rights in the name of the “war on terror.” The same fear tactics. The same lies and deceit.

The same.

The same.

The same.

Hasn’t the American citizens had enough of “the same”?

Hasn’t the American citizens had enough of the same substandard education for our children that represent our future? Haven’t we had enough of the same outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries that produce substandard goods? Haven’t we had enough of the uncontrolled and unmonitored funding of an illegal occupation of a once sovereign nation? Haven’t we had enough of $4 a gallon gas? Haven’t we had enough of slave wages offered to workers? Haven’t we had enough of increased taxation?

Haven’t we had enough?

So the next time you find yourself having a political conversation, and the subject turns to the GOP candidates, turn the tables and sing the praises of the real and true American candidates for the executive branch. Talk about Obama, Biden and the issues. Don’t be sidetracked by the distractions and spin coming from the right.

Keep your eye on the prize, as the old song goes, and do your part, as an American, to restore the greatness of this country and help elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden as our next President and Vice President of the United States.

The choice isn’t that difficult. If you like the way things have been over the last eight years, cast your vote toward the Republicans. But if you are broke, busted and disgusted by the travesty of the Bush administration and the criminal Republican Party, vote for change.

Vote Obama.

Whats With All The Old Farts?

Well, we're midway through the RNC in St. Paul, MN. and what a travesty it has been so far.

I admit that I am not watching all the coverage as I did with the DNC last week but what I have seen was enough to intensify the feeling of hope for our country that the dems gave me from Denver.

With the sounds of Barack Obama's speech still reverberating in my mind, I look at the poor republicunts trying to salvage the last few dying remnants of their party of fossils. I swear, the floor of the RNC reminds me of a bingo hall with senior citizen discount requests plaguing all the poor vendors trying to make a buck.

It is a more low key event than the DNC, where excitement jumped forth through every speaker, where historical speeches were made by Ted Kennedy, Bill Richardson, Al Gore Michelle Obama and of course the afore mentioned inspirational tome laid out by our next President, Barack Obama.

I actually felt some pity for these poor republican bastards, with their knowing eye's and body language that their efforts are all in vain. They know deep down that the ticket they are presenting are a joke and that the Obama/Biden ticket will destroy whats left of their soon to be extinct party.

But never underestimate the power of stupid people gathered in large groups. As Americans, we cannot let down our guard against a desperate enemy. The people attending the RNC do not appreciate and love the same America that I do. A nation where everyone is happy and prosperous. A nation that works and has worldwide respect.

The nation that we all once had. A nation we can all have once again.

America craves a change. A change that only one of the Presidential candidates promises. A change that the other fears.

Its time to bring our country back to its former greatness.

Elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden. America depends on it.

The Next American President

Congratulations to Barack Obama in achieving the next milestone on his way to becoming the next American President.

His speech at the close of the DNC yesterday was inspiring and gave Americans hope for the future.

After eight years of bush administration repression, his plans for America's future have restored the faith in government and the American way of life.

Let us all band together, as Americans, and help elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Fool Me Once...

I see a very disturbing trend among the democratic, liberal, progressive, left wing blogs and forums (or whatever you want to call them) and it seems to be cut from a page of the Karl Rove playbook of political cheats.

To see the various blogs and forum comments out there, I have seen quite a bit about McShitstain and little of Obama. The FACT that McShitstain is a blithering idiot that has NEVER achieved any degree of success (unless banging a millionairess can be considered successful) and Obama is a self made man of honor that holds a law degree and was once a constitutional law professor.

Yet the focus seems to be mostly on McShitstain's shortcomings and political gaffes.

The American people have become more and more stupid with every election cycle and will vote for the candidate whose name they can identify with the most, so even with negative publicity, McShitstain is on the minds of the democrats.

If you have noticed recently, I have done little to even mention the name of the right wing devil and have given him a new, more fitting name, on my website and on my show. I refuse to fall victim to the political games being played by the republicunts and will escalate my efforts to sing the praises of America's next President and only hope for recovery:

Barack Obama.

It would truly be an American tragedy to have the republicunts steal yet another presidential election.

A Conversation I Overheard

I was having breakfast at a local diner on Sunday when I overheard an interesting conversation.

There was a group of seniors at a table near me that was complaining about their medical co-pays, prescription costs and, of course, the economy, which then turned to the election.

I assume the majority were Republicans from their remarks over McCain being the best their party had. Then came talk of not voting at all.

Most agreed they wouldn't bother, even though they weren't sure about a black man being president. While I was bothered by the black remarks, I sat smiling as the demographic McCain is relying so heavily upon was slamming him and talking of not voting at all.

That is when one of the old gents stood up, wagging his finger and said, "Listen. This isn't about black and white. It's about good people and bad people. I've voted Republican all my life, but they have screwed us and this country. It's time we show them what's what. I'm voting for the black kid. He's a smart young man and a good person. You should all vote for him too."

It was all I could do not jump up and yell, "Go Grampa!"

GO BAMA!!!

America's next president

Salute Obama

One Nation under a New Obama Salute.

If a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one pictured.

"Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc.

Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name.

"We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong. Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says.

Their design, unlike Fairey's, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. "We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."

McShitstain Is A Jealous Old Man

Some of McCain’s old pals in the Senate are cringing at what they see as his soulless transformation into what he once scorned.

“John’s eaten up with envy,” said one. “His image of himself was always the handsome, celebrity flyboy.

“Now somebody else is the celebrity,” the colleague continued, while John looks in the mirror and sees his face marred by skin cancer and looks at the TV and sees his dashing self-image replaced by visions of William Frawley, with Letterman jokes about his membership in the ham radio club and adventures with wagon trains.

For McCain, being cool meant being a rogue, not a policy wonk; but Obama manages to be a cool College Bowl type, which must irk McCain, who liked to play up his bad-boy cool.

Now the guy in the back of the class is shooting spitballs at the class pet and is coming off as more juvenile than daring.

An angry, jealous old man.

Veterans Against McShitstain

The growing ranks of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan will have a lot to say about who becomes president. And what they are saying isn't what you might expect.

In theory, John McCain, with his long record of service as a Navy pilot and prisoner of war story from Vietnam, should have the market cornered on the military vote.

Instead, he has drawn opposition from many veterans because of his voting record in the Senate. Sen. McCain has voted against bills that would have improved veterans' benefits, particularly health care, or measures to ease the strain on active-duty troops and their families.

The disapproval among vets for Sen. McCain has fed surprising support for Barack Obama, who has voted for many of the veterans' initiatives in the Senate that his opponent rejected.

One of the last things the McCain campaign expected was to wind up in the cross hairs of angry veterans and having to fight off repeated attacks. But, then, that was also one of the last things the decorated veteran John Kerry expected in 2004.

The Internet has given rise to a new generation of veterans groups that line up from one end of the political spectrum to the other - Veterans for Peace at the left end and the Swift Boat Vets on the right.

Among the many misconceptions about running for president is that a military combat record makes a candidate more electable.

In fact, the converse is true, at least since the Vietnam War changed Americans' perspectives about service in the armed forces.

None of the three presidents who have won two terms since the '70s has done it on the strength of his military credentials.

As an Army officer during World War II, Ronald Reagan made government movies for the war effort while stationed in Culver City, Cal. Bill Clinton has no military record, and lingering questions about why he has none. George W. Bush made sure the skies were safe over Houston when he served on the homefront with the Texas Air National Guard during the height of Vietnam.

Presidential candidates with truly heroic service in World War II have been big losers in November: George McGovern was a decorated B-24 bomber pilot who flew dozens of missions over Africa and Europe; Bob Dole nearly died from wounds suffered in Italy, and lost the use of his right arm; George H.W. Bush earned the Distinguished Flying Cross after getting shot down during one of many bombing missions in the Pacific.

When it comes to winning support from veterans, Sen. McCain's voting record on their issues is an imposing obstacle.

The Disabled Veterans of America gives him a 20 percent rating, compared with an 80 percent rating for Sen. Obama. The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America gives Sen. McCain a D and Sen. Obama a B+. The Vietnam Veterans of America say Sen. McCain has voted against them on 15 issues.

One of the most vocal and fastest-growing veterans groups to oppose the McCain campaign is VoteVets.org. Formed in 2006, the organization claims a membership of roughly 100,000, with a political action committee devoted to electing congressional candidates who oppose the handling of the Iraq war.

Especially galling to VoteVets.org is Sen. McCain's opposition to the new, bipartisan GI Bill that increases education benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan vets. Sen. Obama voted for the bill when it passed 75-22 in May; Sen. McCain was on the campaign trail and did not vote.

The size of the veterans' vote is easier to calculate than its direction. The nation has about 24 million veterans - a population the size of California - with 1.7 million of them in Florida. In 2004, roughly 80 percent of vets turned out to vote, compared with 64 percent of nonveterans. American veterans are 80 percent white non-Hispanic, 11 percent African-American, 6 percent Hispanic and 92 percent male. Their median age is 60, and 60 percent of them live in urban areas.

Veterans are politically and demographically diverse - a long way from a monolithic voting bloc. But Sen. McCain is running the risk of uniting them against him.

Happy Birthday Mr. President

Birthday wishes go out to Americas next President.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARACK OBAMA!

USS Forrestal - July 29, 1967

To call John McShitstain a war hero is like calling the "Yugo" a performance automobile.

Fucking Hypocrite

Some Reasons NOT To Vote For McShitstain

I am sick and tired of McCain brushing off every legitimate criticism by invoking the fact that he was a POW.




Being a POW does not excuse you for having a crappy health policy.


Being a POW does not make you a war hero -- for that you have to kill the enemy in a useful way to actually win the war.

And being a POW does not make you an expert on military or foreign policy.

But being a POW DOES make McShitstain nothing but a PRISON BITCH.

• was fifth from the bottom in class rank, 894th out of 899.


• a sub-par flier, with limited patience for studying aviation manuals.


• Crashed his plane FIVE times, before shot down and taken prisoner.


• His role in Forrestal fire.

McCain was physically brave and committed to a military career because of heritage. But is appears that he was fundementally not very smart, not very interested in actually being a good pilot, studying or working to be a good pilot and actually do his best to win the Vietnam war that was allegedly so imporant to win.

He could not be bothered to study hard, stay sober and fight succesfully.

Most of us have heard about his being fifth from the bottom in his academy class rank, 894th out of 899. That is his undergraduate career. That is much worse then George W. Bush was at Yale. Some of it is excused as demerits from bad behavior. But I have not seen anything about his actual academic GPA. And if he was so interested in beating the Soviets or later in winning the Vietnam war maybe he should have studied and worked harder.

Per the Wikipeida entry on the early life and military career of John McCain (retreived 4/17/2008):

McCain was then commissioned an ensign, and spent two and a half years as a naval aviator in training at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas.[46] He earned a reputation as a party man, as he drove a Corvette, dated an exotic dancer named "Marie the Flame of Florida", spent all his free time on the beach or in a BOQ room turned bar and friendly gambling den, and, as he would later say, "generally misused my good health and youth".

He began as a sub-par flier, with limited patience for studying aviation manuals.

During a practice run in Texas, his engine quit while landing, and his aircraft crashed into Corpus Christi Bay and sank to the bottom. Although momentarily knocked unconscious by the impact, he squeezed out of the cockpit and swam to the surface, escaping without major injuries.

That is crashed on his own #1.

...he had another close call when he and his plane emerged intact from a collision with power lines after flying too low over Spain.

That's #2.

In late 1965, he had his third close call when a flameout in his trainer jet over Norfolk, Virginia led to his ejecting safely before his plane crashed.

And that was #3. That we know of.

One question has always been, how much did McCain's dads position as a senior Admiral have to do with this incompetent not being kicked out of the service?

The above are accepted facts. This next item is questionable but potentially interesting for mainstream follow-up:

Some have suggested (wingers love that phrase) that McCain's had direct involvement in causing the worst non-combat-related disaster in the history of the Navy, the Forrestal fire that killed 134 sailors and injured 62 on July 29, 1967:

Supposedly verified by unamed "senior Naval officer who was assigned to the Naval War College":

McCain and the Forrestal's skipper, Capt. John K. Beling, were warned about the danger of using M-65 1000-lb. bombs manufactured in 1935, which were deemed too dangerous to use during World War II and, later, on B-52 bombers. The fire from the Zuni misfire resulted in the heavy 1000 pounders being knocked loose from the pylons of McCain's A-4, which were only designed to hold 500-pound bombs.' WMR further reported, 'The unstable bombs had a 60-second cook-off threshold in a fire situation and this warning was known to both Beling and McCain prior to the disaster.'

...crewmen aboard the Forrestal have provided additional information about the Forrestal incident. It is believed by many crewmen and those who have investigated the case that McCain deliberately 'wet-started' his A-4E to shake up the guy in the plane behind his A-4. 'Wet-starts', done either deliberately or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.

In McCain's case, the 'wet-start' apparently 'cooked off' and launched the Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that touched off the explosions and massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration.

'Wet starting' was apparently a common practice among young 'hot-dog' pilots. McCain was quickly transferred to the USS Oriskany (the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred). After the disaster, McCain was shot down over North Vietnam on October 26, 1967.

...informed by knowledgeable sources, including an ex-Navy A-4 pilot, the 'wet-start game' was a common occurrence. However, it is between 'very unlikely' and 'impossible' for the Forrestal 'wet start' to have been accidental. 'Wet starts' were later rendered impossible by automated engine controls."

Now granted, the above and more on this is from, ahem, cough, cough, Wayne Madsen via Portland IndyMedia. But hey, if Ayers is a real issue, then WMR is a source worth at least following up on. There is at least some specificity and details being made in these charges that could be looked into.

Has anybody else looked into this?
Inquiring and enquiring minds want to know.

By the way... when McCain was shot down, was it just routine bad luck, the sad but predictable result of a proven lousy pilot who did not study his manuals, or just maybe (playing the sort of specious psychobble games that should be appreciated by those who waved purple heart band aids against Kerry) he felt guilty over his role in the Forrestal fire.

Now of course, we all know that McCain was a great and mighty war hero once he was a POW.

Or not!

As John Aravosis reminds us on his AmericaBlog

McCain working for the enemy. If a US soldier made propaganda tapes for the enemy (like John McCain did), then went on to run for president as a Democrat, the Republicans would eviscerate that candidate. I want George Stephanopoulos to ask John McCain if he loves America as much as soldiers who didn't make propaganda tapes for the enemy while in captivity. Oh, and in case you think I'm kidding, here are McCain's own words:

"Later, I made a second, feebler attempt at suicide. On the fourth day, I gave up. I signed a confession that "I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pilot. The guards ordered me to record my confession on tape. I refused, and was beaten until I consented."

Well, I'm sure a POW has never been beaten before, so it's totally understandable why McCain betrayed his country during his "hero" years in Vietnam. (Or are we to assume that all American POWs betray their country while in captivity, right?)

Maybe among all those who were POWs there were some others who did not do the confession and betrayal thing?

Since being a POW was his initial entry ticket to polical success (the money of his partner in adultery, drug addict thief with a penchant for plagiarism 2nd wife being his other enabling factor), maybe anybody who was a "better POW" should be promoted to President ahead of McCain?

A Dear John Letter

Dear Grampa McShitstain,

Let me be completely honest right from the start: I am a not a Republican (which you probably knew the minute I mentioned being honest).
I am a Democrat, and therefore do not want you to win this election.

No offense, but we’ve already endured almost eight years of an incompetent liar in the Oval Office, and we both know the country cannot survive another.

I realize I am asking a lot of you, but anything you can do to ensure that you never see the inside of the White House (other than as President Obama’s guest) would be a true act of patriotism on your part.

To that end, I was just wondering if you could follow one or two of my suggestions below:

• Make the linchpin of your campaign the idea that staying in Iraq for a hundred years or more is a great idea. This will go over extremely well with the majority of the voters, who want out of Iraq – NOW.
  
• Distinguish yourself from your well-liked, young and energetic opponent by acting surly as often as possible. Adopting a hey, you kids, get off my lawn image should do it.
  
• While your opponent is being warmly greeted by international heads of state, visit a fudge ‘n sausage-type eatery. Be sure to be photographed pathetically doing same, accompanied by a doofy-looking fellow GOPer (Lindsay Graham immediately comes to mind, but you’ll have to check on his availability).
  
• Talk about a country that no longer exists as though it still does. Once will be taken as a simple gaffe; mentioning it three or four times will prove that you don’t know what you’re taking about.
  
• Play-up your opponent’s lack of knowledge about the situation in Iraq while, at the same time, you confuse Shia and Sunni, and the timing of events that have occurred during the occupation.
  
• The single most important issue in this election is the economy. Mentioning that you don’t understand “the economy” or how it “works” will drive millions of voters into the Obama camp.
  
• Make shit up – especially stuff that the entire world knows to be blatantly untrue (e.g. “We were greeted as liberators”.)
  
• Demonstrate that you are out-of-touch with the average voter by arranging a photo-op in a supermarket, where you wear a business suit while “shopping”, and have to refer to notes before “remembering” the current price of milk.
  
• Nothing is more effective than playing the pot-kettle-black game; e.g. highlight your opponent’s dismissiveness of the plight of active soldiers and veterans after you have consistently voted against bills that would assist them.
  
• Cement your I-got-nuthin’ image by criticizing your opponent’s accomplishments and plans for the future, instead of offering any of your own. If you must speak about yourself, constant references to having been a POW and how that alone qualifies you to run the country will suffice in making you look utterly ridiculous.
  
• Your opponent is known for being able to draw huge crowds. Whining about it at every opportunity will go a long way in shoring-up your image as an envious, petulant complainer – so Bush-like, it’s bound to scare even the most dedicated Republican into voting Democratic.
  
• Air TV ads that feature “facts” that have already been debunked; e.g. “Obama refused to meet with wounded soldiers.”

• Act and speak in ways that call your mental stability into question. Not being able to “recall” how you voted on issues over your senatorial career will bolster the idea that you are (a) intellectually incapable of leading a nation, and/or (b) senile. It’s a win-win situation, if you can convincingly pull it off.
  
• Choose surrogates and spokespeople who will insult voters on a regular basis (e.g. calling people who have lost their jobs, homes, savings and pensions “whiners”, or declaring the current state of the failing economy as only existing in people’s minds.)

• Attack programs that have worked well for decades, e.g. Social Security, and vow to rid the nation of such evil. This will go over especially well with seniors, who tend to vote more consistently than other age groups.
  
• Mention how you know how to win wars and bring Osama Bin Laden to justice. This will undoubtedly lead to voters wondering why you haven't shared such vital information with anyone before now - or if you're just talking out of your own ass.
  
• I don’t know how willing your family is to help out. But if your wife could make some comment that cements your image as a filthy rich couple (maybe something about the need to own a private jet?) it should cost you support among voters struggling to make ends meet. (If your daughter could run-up a monthly credit card debt equivalent to more than the yearly income of many US families, it would be icing on the cake – but I don’t want to get crazy here!)
  
• A few at-your-discretion serving suggestions: point out how your opponent is a flip-flopper while changing your own positions, complain about how the media is in the tank for Obama contemporaneous with their publicly kissing your ass, et cetera.

John, I realize I am asking a lot here. But your nation’s wellbeing is at stake.

I have already stated that I don’t want to see you elected, but I would warn you that following one or two suggestions outlined above – three at most – will be more than sufficient in ensuring Obama’s victory in November.

Anything more would be over-kill, so please use caution; doing all of the above will go much further than simply leading to your defeat – it will make you look like a clueless idiot.

Thanks in advance for putting your country’s welfare above winning an election.

It’s heartening to know that we have a true patriot in this race.

Yours Truly,

Fed Up American

McShitstain And His Failed Campaign

As many of you are aware, John McCain’s campaign is a total disaster – and it gets worse every day.

He doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shia, he doesn’t “get” this economy thing everyone is on about, and he thinks Czechoslovakia still exists.While his opponent, Barack Obama, is drawing unprecedented crowds, McCain’s non-events would be completely unattended were it not for the Secret Service (who have to be there) and the few reporters who are assigned to cover him (usually as punishment for having pissed-off their boss).

That’s why McCain is counting on you – the totally misinformed, the ignorant, and the just plain dumb – to keep his candidacy viable.

In furtherance of that effort, please don’t smarten up before November. John McCain’s only chance of getting any votes is your continued stupidity; don’t let him down.If you believe that the high cost of gas is the fault of the Democrats, despite the fact that fuel prices rose while the Republicans were in control, please don’t start putting two and two together now.If you believe that Obama is a radical Muslim and a Christian with a too-radical pastor, please persist in ignoring the contradiction and continue to accept that both of these things are incontrovertible facts.

Should you find yourself noticing that McCain doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about, take a break from listening to him. A little time out can renew your faith in his ability to eventually figure things out.Please do not abandon reliable sources like FOX-News, no matter how shrill and desperate they sound in the months to come. If their fine journalists are saying things that are the complete opposite of what you know the facts to be, remember that they could be right and the facts could be totally wrong.

Do not fall prey to the idea that change is needed in our government, or that the direction the Republicans have taken the nation in the past eight years has been wrong-minded – or even insane. Losing your job, your healthcare coverage, your savings and your home are not the worst things that can happen. The GOP has plunged the nation into unprecedented debt – you don’t hear them whining about it, do you? Put that flag pin in your lapel and soldier on.

Please keep focused on the idea that the War in Iraq is going swimmingly. So far, we have lost a mere 4,000-plus US troops, and a only few million Iraqis are dead, maimed, orphaned and/or displaced.

Do NOT allow common sense to dissuade you from believing that McCain’s idea of staying the course will ensure victory within the next hundred years or so.Above all, do NOT lose sight of the character of the candidates.

Obama may be eloquent, well-informed, admired and respected by world leaders, a man of vision and perception, hopeful about implementing positive change, enthusiastic about our ability to put the country back on the right track, and willing to work tirelessly to undo the damage done by eight years of the Bush administration’s policies. If you find yourself thinking that these are the qualities we want and need in a president, McCain will probably lose. In fact, if you find yourself thinking at all, McCain has already lost – big time.So don’t start thinking.

Don’t inform yourself.

Don’t question anything.

And for the love of God, don’t smarten up – because John McCain is depending on your stupidity.

It may fall squarely in the slim-to-none category, but it’s the only chance he has.

republicans Are Insane

You would have to be nuts to vote for a republican.




For President.


For Senator.


For Congress.


For ANYTHING!


You would have to be out of your friggin' mind.


A mental.


Looney tunes.





Not all there.


Yet there are a small percentage of the American population that thinks bush is doing a good job. No doubt financially benefiting from the crimes committed over the last near eight years. There are even some McCain supporters out there that can't handle the fact that a black man WILL be the next American president.


Its quite funny to watch them, in their "Curly shuffle" attempts in discrediting Obama with lies and bullshit. Much like the lies and bullshit that American's were fed during bush's failed presidency.


But these people are mental.

Delussional.

They have a sickness.

An illness.





A disease or the brain.





Its called republicuntardation.



The entire party is filled with pedophiles, sexual deviates, criminals and closet homosexuals. All profess to have "traditional" family values (for the Adams family maybe) and have a "personal" relationship with something that they like to call God. (but is unlike ANY god that I would want to know)

They will kill their neighbors if given a chance to possess their neighbors land, home and toys and care NOTHING about humanity or assisting their fellow man. Unless of course they can profit from it.

You would have to be ABSOLUTELY CRAZY to vote for any one of these idiots.

Senator Alzheimers

The self-professed candidate of “straight talk” and “experience” spent today changing his position on gay adoption, adopting Senator Obama’s position that we need more troops in Afghanistan after having resisted taking that position, flip flopping on whether he’d send U.S. or NATO troops (he actually offered three different explanations on where those additional troops would come from), and referring to a country that hasn’t existed since 1992 for the second time in two days.

Afghanistan
LAST WEEK: Christian Science Monitor Reported that McCain “Has Resisted Calls For More Troops In Afghanistan.” “McCain has resisted calls for more troops in Afghanistan and has rejected criticism that the Iraq war is detracting from efforts to secure Afghanistan. He labeled Barack Obama ‘naïve’ for saying he'd strike terrorist targets in Pakistan with or without the cooperation of President Pervez Musharraf. … Aides to the Arizona senator said Wednesday that he continued to view success in Iraq as the best chance for victory in the global war on terror. ‘As on many things, Senator Obama is not listening to our commanders, and Senator McCain is,’ says Kori Schake, a senior policy adviser to McCain. ‘General David Petraeus believes Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. Al Qaeda has even said it is.’ … Ms. Schake's comments came about two hours after Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said additional troops were needed in Afghanistan but that too many were tied down in Iraq to send more.” [Christian Science Monitor, 7/7/08]

MONDAY (MORNING): McCain Called for Sending Three Additional Brigades to Afghanistan and Suggests They Would Come From Iraq. According to a press release issued by the McCain campaign on Tuesday morning, McCain would announce in a speech that he now supports sending at least three additional brigades to Afghanistan: “The status quo in Afghanistan is unacceptable, and from the moment the next President walks into the Oval Office, he will face critical decisions about Afghanistan. … John McCain Supports Sending At Least Three Additional Brigades To Afghanistan. Our commanders on the ground say they need these troops, and thanks to the success of the surge, these forces are becoming available, and our commanders in Afghanistan must get them.” [McCain press release, 7/15/08]

MONDAY (AFTERNOON): McCain Clarifies His Proposal On Increasing the Number of Troops, Saying They Could Come From NATO. “Speaking to reporters on his bus after today's speech, McCain indicated that he'd be open to those additional troops coming from NATO.” [MSNBC, 7/15/08]

MONDAY (EVEN LATER IN THE AFTERNOON): McCain Campaign Further Clarifies Proposal, Saying The Troop Increase Would Be Comprised Of Both NATO And US Forces. “McCain spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace said later that U.S. troops will compose some of the additional brigades McCain would send to Afghanistan, but not all of them. ‘Will we contribute? Of course we will,’ she said.” [Washington Post, 5/15/08]

GAY ADOPTION
SUNDAY: New York Times Quoted McCain Saying That He Doesn’t Believe In Gay Adoption. “Mr. McCain, who with his wife, Cindy, has an adopted daughter, said flatly that he opposed allowing gay couples to adopt. ‘I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption,’ he said.” [New York Times, 7/13/08]

MONDAY: McCain Campaign Clarified Position; Said It Was A State Issue And That McCain Believes “Caring Parental Figures Are Better For The Child Than The Alternative.” “On Tuesday, as criticism of McCain's comments spread, his campaign elaborated on the candidate's views. ‘John McCain could have been clearer in the interview in stating that his position on gay adoption is that it is a state issue. ... He was not endorsing any federal legislation,’ a campaign statement said. ‘Sen. McCain's expressed his personal preference for children to be raised by a mother and a father wherever possible,’ the statement added. ‘However, as an adoptive father himself, McCain believes children deserve loving and caring home environments, and he recognizes that there are many abandoned children who have yet to find homes. John McCain believes that in those situations that caring parental figures are better for the child than the alternative.’” [Associated Press, 7/15/08]

Czechoslovakia
For the Second Day In A Row, McCain Refers to Czechoslovakia – A Country That No Longer Exists. As MSNBC noted, “For the second time in two days, McCain has made a reference to ‘Czechoslovakia.’ His answers were about contemporary events, not history. McCain did not use the current name Czech Republic, the country formed in January 1993 when Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The first instance was yesterday during a media news availability and the second today during a town hall meeting.” [MSNBC’s First Read, 7/15/08, http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/15/1200003.aspx]

ABC News Noted That This Isn’t The First Time McCain Has Mistakenly Referred to Czechoslovakia. “In early 2000, then-Gov. George W. Bush told Roger Simon, then with U.S. News & World Report, that he was befuddled by how soft the media was on Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. ‘I don't think there is any plot; I hope there isn't,’ Bush said. "But it's an amazing phenomenon, I'll tell you that. It's like the flap over the foreign-leader deal. A guy gets up and quizzes me -- it's my fault for trying to answer -- but John McCain says something about the 'ambassador to Czechoslovakia.' Well, I know there is no Czechoslovakia (there's a Czech Republic and a Slovakia), but yet it didn't make the nightly national news.

I'm not going to gripe about it, but the media question is starting to pop up.’ Apparently that Czechoslovakia lesson never took, because McCain keeps making that mistake, eight years later.” [ABC News’ Political Punch, 7/15/08, http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/mccain-keeps-me.html]

Politico: McCain Campaign Released Statement Yesterday “Cleaning Up” The Reference to Czechoslovakia. As the Politico noted, “yesterday, McCain's campaign sent out a statement pointedly referring to the ‘Czech Republic,’ cleaning up his latest reference to the defunct state of Czechoslovakia.” [Politico, 5/15/08, http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0708/Jeste_jednou_Czechoslovakia.html]

There should be an age limitation for running for President. At least the candidates should be able to pass a mental test.

What a fucking joke this idiot is.

Cindy McCain - Drug Addled Cunt

It's sleazy as hell for one candidate to attack the other's wife.

But it's even weirder for him to use his own scandal-ridden wife to do it. What moral authority does Cindy McCain have to start throwing stones at Mrs. Obama? Only one candidate's wife is a drug addict who actually stole drugs from poor children in order to feed her addiction.

And that candidate is John McCain.

People who live in glass pill boxes shouldn't cast stones.

Cindy McCain is a drug addict and has stole drugs from children.

The non-partisan Web site, Snopes.com, had this to say about Mrs. McCain's illicit drug addiction:

In 1989, following two back surgeries, Cindy McCain became addicted to the
painkillers Vicodin and Percocet. To keep up with her daily need of 10 to 15
pills, she used other people's names for prescriptions and stole drugs from the
American Voluntary Medical Team, a mobile surgical unit she'd begun in 1988 to
provide emergency medical services around the world. A 1993 DEA audit of the
amount of painkillers her charity had obtained quickly uncovered her thefts. She
avoided prosecution for those crimes through an agreement with the Justice
Department in which she submitted to drug testing, paid a fine, performed
community service in a soup kitchen, and joined Narcotics Anonymous and her
medical charity was closed.

True Americans DO NOT steal medicine from children.

Neither should their wives.

Taking Her Ball And Going Home

Risky. Calculating. Selfish. And yes... CHILDISH.

These are the unflattering characteristics I'm witnessing in a candidate I once believed would make a great first female president. Gladly, she won't be our first. That historic moment will be awaiting another woman who shall get to the highest office in the land on her own merits.

I have never ever seen a democratic presidential candidate running for the highest office in the land exhibit the kind of behavior that Hillary Clinton has. When someone explained that she needed some "time" to retire from her campaign in a way of her own "choosing", I thought... this is someone who everyone said was strong enough to be commander in chief. She had balls of steel as one of her supporters alluded. Hillary Clinton, the candidate who talked tough and voted tough and threw back shots like she was just one of the boys needed to be treated with "KID" gloves? This is a woman who screams sexism then talks like a racist and she needs to be handled very carefully? She throws a tantrum it seems whenever she can't get her way. She starts out as the inevitable candidate with a boatload of money and a gargantuan machine and she ends her campaign in the back seat, in debt and a depleted army largely because of the mistakes she made and now she wants to blame Obama because he won like David over Goliath in large measure playing the cleanest game politics has ever seen?

She felt a sense of entitlement and the fact that someone would actually run against her and win shaded her with a fuming child-like vengeance. That's right... she is being vengeful toward a candidate she didn't beat. The many faces of Hillary Clinton have arisen during her long fought campaign. She was warm and fuzzy toward Obama one moment in a debate and ranting at her opponent in the next breath about mailers. She has changed the goal posts of victory so many times that the goalposts are outside of the arena. And many in the media, political circles let her do it when she screamed loud enough. Was it about delegates or super delegates? Delegates! No, ummm super delegates... um maybe. I'll figure it out for you. Michigan and Florida don't count! The media climbs on board with her insistence. Now that she's lost, Michigan and Florida do count. Yes! Of course they do. Delegate count? No! It's the Popular vote. Every time she wanted her baby bottle she got it. If she was full on formula and screamed loud enough for more, she got it, it seems without question, without hesitation.

Now that she has lost, instead of doing the right thing - suspending her campaign, conceding, endorsing the presumptive nominee - on the day Obama reached the victory number, what does she do? She throws a shit fit! She doesn't suspend her campaign but instead tells the world that she hasn't made a decision. She throws her thumb in her mouth and toddles off the stage. And like parents scolding a child, congressional Democrats (20) and senators who supported her told her that she made a grave mistake throwing that tantrum on what should have been Obama's proudest moment.

Clinton is a grown up, People! But you wouldn't know it. The decisions she made were grown up decisions. You wouldn't know it though. Everyone knows that when you change the rules in the middle of the game then that's called cheating. She is of the age where she should have known better on many different fronts. From her IWR vote, and her web of lies regarding Bosnia and NAFTA to the mismanagement of her campaign and her hijacking and using her supporters for political gain, I find it quite breath-taking that Super Delegates and supporters alike have enabled her to behave like this.

If people can't see that holding her supporters in an attempt to gain access to the white house, in affect trying to tell the presumptive nominee how to run things then you are as delusional as she is. When you've lost the nomination you don't get your way with his office. That's common sense. People... stop enabling and coddling a grown-up who doesn't know any better. It's time for tough love. We've already seen Democrats coddle one president. Once in our lifetime is enough. We don't need to exhibit this kind of dysfunctional behavior with a candidate who has lost not only the election through her own faults but who has lost her way to adult-hood.

It seems the only candidate who made all of the grown up decisions in this historic race for the white house was, indeed, Barack Obama.

America's next president.
