With One Month To Go: Why McCain Will Close and Win
|

Because the country cannot afford the greatest gamble in its modern history at this moment in time.
A confrontation with Iran looms and instability in Pakistan grows. The Islamist threat has been beaten back in Iraq, but continues to nurse its fanatical hatreds in many other places, from Waziristan to London. Israel is ringed not with an enemy that wants a state but by two enemies that want Israel to be destroyed.
The world's financial system is teetering, and the estrangement between the American people and their government has never been this deep in modern times.
The cost of energy has soared and will continue to climb. The entitlement trap has only grown worse in the three years since George Bush asked the Democrats to work with him on Social Security and they said no. The corrupt, self-dealing culture of the Beltway has poisoned the decision-making of many bureaucracies and in ways only the burdened know, and the credibility of the big media is shattered even as their audiences shrink and many of their news rooms come close to shuttering.
So, despite the rapture of college students and the registration of the homeless in Ohio, the common sense of Americans will override curiosity about Barack Obama and infatuation with his celebrity, and trust John McCain to pilot the country for the next four years.
Obama is a wholly untested Illinois state senator with less than 200 actual days on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Obama has never run anything or faced any significant political crisis in his life requiring the expert exercise of wisdom and judgment, much less this perfect storm of crises.
Obama's rise has been because of machine politics and hard-left coalitions, and his past is checkered with the most radical and the most corrupt sort of characters imaginable --Ayers, Rezko and Wright to name just the big three.
His party is led by hard-left partisans in the House and Senate, and the "grassroots" manning his campaign and ready to demand their patronage jobs are of the Michael Moore-Daily Kos variety. There is hardly anything left of the old Democratic Party. It isn't about a New Deal or a Fair Deal or a New Frontier. It is about radical change, and creepy children singing praises to their leader. It is about a thorough-going contempt of ordinary Americans best expressed in Obama's own description of the bitter God-and-gun clinging small town and rural voters of Pennsylvania.
Obama would be a huge risk in even placid times of peace, full employment, and robust growth, a radical break with America's political traditions even as measured against the McGovern candidacy of 1972.
In a time of war and precarious economic uncetainty, it would be near suicidal to turn the world's most important job over to him.
The hard left's seven year rage against George Bush has disfigured the politics of the country, but it hasn't infected the large center or demoralized the principled right. Three quarters of the country know the sort of enemy we face around the globe and sense as well the seriousness of the economic risk that faces us and which must be met and managed from maturity and a belief in growth and capitalism's essential genius. The country has never embraced class warfare, and knows that a lurch to the left now would cripple the vast engine of productivity that is the key to a steady recovery of confidence.
We do not desire to become Europe. We do not fear our neighbors or hate our political opponents or mock religion. Large portions of Obama's most dedicated supporters do. The MoveOn.org of "General Betrayus" and the Al Franken wing of the Democrats have tried without success to moderate their rhetoric, and the issue of Michelle Obama's lack of pride in the country have been erased from the fall campaign, but as the decision grows close, mist voters will be turning over all of these things in their head, and assessing the very different futures in front of the country.
This is the choice facing the country as absentees begin to be mailed next week, and it is the seriousness of the moment and the radical nature of the Obama candidacy that favors the tried and tested McCain and his populist, optimistic running mate.
America is a great and good nation, and it will not turn itself over to a party in the grip of its hardest left cadres, its most corrupt machine and its least experienced nominee ever.
Especially not when it has a man of enormous courage and proven devotion and sacrifice at the ready to lead through difficult times.

to go back and see how stupid you MORONS really were. |

Fellow McCain supporters: DO NOT listen to what these polls say- statistically they are very very skewed. In late oct in the 1980 election, the "polls" showed Carter beating Reagan!!!
JM is the only logical candidate with experience in these very tricky times. He is very moderate and we can't have a radical on either side taking the wheel. Let's not forget about the "silent majority"...they decide these elections.
We still have to mobalize and help by contributing and phonebanking (which you can do from home)-- johnmccain.com. If there is one thing I love about the Mac, you can NEVER EVER count him out. For those plebian claims about his health- he survived 5 1/2 years as a POW...enough said.
BTW Great article on the Obama "tax-cuts"

My my my what a dispirited bunch. |
|

Palin was in California Sunday. Was it just fund raising? McCain has run some ads here too. Not sure why except, California demographics have changed..We are over 50% hispanic now. McCain is pro-immigration and Obama's Abortion position may not fly with the Hispanic population which is largely Catholic. If they could target some ads here explaining those positions, it could help. I wonder whether or not he has one more "surprise" for this election. I will pray and hold my breath.. |
|
"Nope."
Do you know about Google? |
|
|
|
"Mormon Mafia. Right."
That's what Hughes' business associates/nursemaids were called in the media. I believe he called them that himself. Do you not remember? |
|
|
|
"BTW, bigots, your beloved Reagan thought Mormons were great people, and had a lot of them he trusted in the White House."
I thought it was Nixon that had all the Mormons. He himself was quaker, but at least two of his cabinet members were Mormon, and I think he inherited a bunch of the Mormon Mafia from Howard Hughes.
But of course right-wingers like to pretend that Nixon never existed. |

You good folks here do a great job of telling other people how they should accept the consequences of the choices they make in life. Well now is the time that you people accept the consequences of your unwise political choices.
Now, since you did not make the correct political choices, the country is in such a state that a Barack Obama is even possible. That's right, the consequences of your political actions are going to result in not only a Democratic president, but one that is an African-American as well!
McCain is going to lose because he's not the same guy who ran in 2000.I would vote for him in a heartbeat if he were. Unfortunately he is running as a W clone and most of the nation isn't buying it.And all the code words like "gamble", "risky", "terrorist", Rev. Wright, Ayers, etc... we all know what those are code for and it's not working.
As a registered Independent, my advice to Republicans is to forget the White House, it's gone; you better worry about the Senate.Look at Ga. look at Ky. The consequences of your efforts this cycle is going to lead not only to an African-American POTUS, but he just might have 60 seats in the Senate!
I am so very sorry that you folks are so troubled by Obama, but he is not only what you deserve for 8 years of W, he's what you need. It's not too late to be on the correct side of history and vote Obama. You'll feel better in the end for having done the right thing.
I'd like to thank you folks. While I am not caught up in the cult of personality that is Obama, I am glad that we'll have someone that is smart in the White House. (Btw, why don't you people ever talk about how Obama didn't use AA to get into Harvard?)

Since my first vote at the age of 21 for Reagan, I've never voted for a democrat or any other party for anything - not once. I've voted for republicans every single vote. This is how I am repaid for my support.
|
|
Went there - very funny and so right on the money.
4 years is not long, Obama will be a trainwreck just as Carter was, and the GOP will have time to re-think the bigotry that kept the best man out, and time to get back to honest conservative values.
I would love every Mormon in the country to withhold their support to the GOP until it cleans house. No more silent voices. I'm not going to support a party anymore that allows itself to be taken hostage by self-righteous bigots calling themselves "religious leaders" who told my children they need not apply for the presidency. No more votes, no more money, at least not from me.
BTW, bigots, your beloved Reagan thought Mormons were great people, and had a lot of them he trusted in the White House. He also thought our church welfare systen of helping people to help themselves was top notch and the way to go. Today, I'm sure he would be heartsick to learn of the shabby way LDS folks were treated, and the way Romney was incessantly maligned for his faith.
Tomorrow's another day. Let's hope there are principled people willing to say the truth the next time around. And let's not let the Bigot Brigade take the party hostage ever again. |

LOVED conference. As always, it is so nice to get the perspective back. What did I learn? Folks like Slimy and Eddie, Laura and Cimmie are just out for their own, and we need not engage them, or comment on them. Also, to prepare, as it will NOT be a pleasant 4 years (no number was given, just to make sure your house in in order).
I do look forward to an obama presidency. It will give us 4 years to regroup and take our party back. It will give talk raido something besides the Palinlovetrain to talk about. It will give Bristol and Levi cover, not to get married, but to give that little one a real life, and give it up to ADULT parents that will love it and take care of it, and then get on with their lives. 4 years is a long time, but it's not a real long time. I also think Michelle has more class in her pinky than Palin has in her whole body. The good news is that we are no longer lone voices in the wilderness. There is a considerable number of CONSERVATIVES who refuse to vote for this ticket. Many women are insulted by this beautyqueen pick, and not a pick of substance.
this one is fun website. See what cranky old ladies say about McCain and his panderpick.

confused you for Laura. sorry. |
|
And don't forget about the Mormon democrates! Heaven forbid! I have a fainting spell, just thinking about it!
Seriously. You are are bigot all way around. You have people of different colors, shapes and sizes. Folks that don't look like you (might be blonde, blue eyed with some ayran features?) are not your cup of tea. You'd totally hate my family! I'm white, of Welsh and German ancestory, my husband is Basque, from Argentina. My children are Mexican, Black and some are mixed black with whatever was out there.
Take your bigotory elsewhere. I'm voting Obama so YOU and YOUR types learn a pretty harsh lesson. My God accepts all. your's only white folk. |
|
|
I'll leave you all to your right-wing echo chamber of paranoia (excuse the repetition), but before I go, I just want to point out the obvious: Decrying Obama's inexperience doesn't make Sarah Palin more experienced. Calling Obama risky doesn't make McCain less risky. And saying that Democrats don't love their country doesn't make you more patriotic. These things only make you seem that much farther out of touch. And in that respect, you all have the perfect leader in John McCain. Good luck with that. |
|
Can I quote you on that rant? It's stunning how someonen can put that many words together in a fairly literate manner and be so utterly wrong in every sentence.
Fred: You are a nincompoop and your post does not bare quoting like Laurie's does, sorry. |
|
|
Seriously - being a president can be viewed as being so difficult if a person like Gov. Palin can be seen as being competent to be our leader. All of the "sky is falling" commentary just cement why I'm going to vote for Obama. McCain is just not a bright guy; to think that he'd be in charge of coming up with solutions to said problems is frightening. Like it or not, Obama will win because the majority of voters are and will be on November 4th tired of the crappy job Republicans have done lately. Obama, or Hillary, or my friend Doug who is a plumber, could have won this year going against McCain. |

Obama is going to fill up the White House with strange brown and BLACK people with funny-sounding names. They are going to storm into your homes and take your guns and turn your children GAY. MOOOOSLIMS are going to pour in through Mexico in droves and kill us all, and make all our women wear those funny hoods. (oh I forgot - the 9/11 guys, they were already here and your jackass president knew it and didn't do S**T about it.) Obama's gonna make everyone in the world, especially the MOOOOSLIMS hate us by starting illegitimate wars all by himself (oops - forgot again. happened already)
They are going to make you accept your social security when you get old and sick, or if your spouse dies. And they're going to make it strong enough to last for your children's children.
They are going to create policy that will enable anyone to obtain health insurance and get health care. Create jobs in a new green economy. Restore the regulations that have protected us so well for 50 years, that were decimated in the last thirty.
But you will still be very very scared, so I understand that when all these great things start happening in our economy, that you just won't participate. Don't buy into Obama's health care plan, even if you can't afford anything else. Don't accept your SS payment. Don't get a new job in the new economy and cash in all your stocks and savings accounts and stick the cash under your mattress, because you certainly don't want to benefit from all that crazy lefty regulation that will keep your investments safer.
Dumasses, the lot of you. |

Caribou Barbie is going to tank McCain, not that he needs help. The evangelicals/Joe Sixpacks are swooning, but Palin is a laughing stock to everyone else. McCain deserves to lose for making such an irresponsible decision in the midst of economic turmoil and international terror.
Sorry folks, winks and cutsie doesn't cut it for a VP with a pres as old as McCain. Obama now has the lead in every toss-up but 2. McCain threw MI, CO, out of contention by not selecting Romney, and probably more. Palin bears heavy responsibility for the battlegrounds moving to Obama because she is not seen as credible to a majority of American voters.
The truth hurts. Have the courage to see what's happening, folks. Fey is right on the money with Palin, scary stuff indeed.
my2centsplus - Enjoyed conference immensely, how about you? I'll be back in a couple of weeks - maybe. The stupid attack continues unabated.

LLR
I am not alone. Many of us - women and men, conservatives find this ticket so offensive we would rather take our chances with Obama than with McShame and the brainless barbie.
No, true conservative will ever vote for someone who goes against all principle, I would say you are lying!
You are an Obama supporter and in this blog LYING
YOU ARE TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO ADMIT YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE! YOU ARE A COWARD TO ADMIT YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT! PRETTY MUCH COMMON FOR YOU TYPE OF PEOPLE
BLOG LISTEN UP, THIS PERSON IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE! |
|
I am not alone. Many of us - women and men, conservatives find this ticket so offensive we would rather take our chances with Obama than with McShame and the brainless barbie.
And cimmie, get a life. I'm sure your boyfriend will come back, if you ask him nicely.

duh. this is news? Did I not say several weeks ago that I got a new computer and could not log on under my real nom de jour? I never attacked, but stated FACTS. You hate those pesky little things, I know. But hey, I just rand across this website that is now on my personal fav's. If you can take off the Palin style glasses (I know you bought them, even though your a 'dude', albet a pretty swishey dude), and read it. This is what America thinks of McCain's new toy.
http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/
have a good day. I'm going to be doing Mom stuff all day. You know, carpool, (van in our case) getting ready for Halloween with our blow up hearst in front yard with a McCain sign on the pop up skelleton and Palin sign on the hooded driver. I can see the humor. i know you can't. You also hate TRUTH. McCain lied about many things during the campaign. Huckles the clown lied about many things. And thank God, none will ever be president. |

TOTAL AND COMPLETE BS!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!, YOU ATTACKED EVERYONE BUT ROMNEY ALL THRU THE PRIMARIES,I SEE WHY YOU NOW CLAIM TO SUPPORT OBAMA, HE IS ALMOST AS BIG A FRAUD AS MITT.YOU ARE JUST A BITTER LITTLE ROMNEYSLUT BECAUSE YOU DO IT FOR FREE ! A ROMNEYWHORE WOULD AT LEAST GET PAID |
|
sweetie. Your also a brainless twit in the mold of madame brainless twit herself, Palin. Can you have an original thought? No. Why? your so anti everything but you, your brain would hurt if you had to think for yourself.
I would have voted for Hutchenson, Snowe, Todd-whitman. Liddy Dole even Lynn Chenney. any number of women. . You see, these woman have paid the dues of conservative. They are not fake women who care more about their precsious careers than their families.You know when Palins name was 'floated' I came out against her. Now I am very much against this ticket. The more I learn, the more I find out the people of Alaska might be as dimwitted as she is. Either that, or they are snow blind. Even Romney is backing away from this ticket, and supporting other GOP's. Bigots like YOU put mcCain up on the ticket. It will be voters of the mid conservative brand, that will send him back to the senate. So, call me names if you wish. It's fine with me. It shows your lack of intelligence. But again, Palin is the pablum for the nonintelligent vote. Those with a sixpack in one hand and a bible in the other. too drunk to even read it, but by golly, they'll vote for whomever their preacher tells them to!
|
|
|
I now he won't be a great president at all. I worry about our country just like you do. BUT I refuse to put Mcccain and that barbie brainless twit anywhere near the whitehouse. There are many, many conservatives who refuse to walk lockstep into the McCain gas chamber. Thank you for your service. Your a true american hero, mccain. but you will NOT be my president. |
|
|
fred you are an idiot,my 2cents you are nothing but a romneywhore |
|
if this pollyanna, pie in the sky view is typical then the Obama has nothing to worry about. you've identified a point of view but no path to victory, just a conclusion; rather, by failing to make an argument coupled with blind optimism you've basically aided Obama's cause, as at this point, McCain's losing. He needs a major event to get competitive.
Full disclosure: I am an Obama supporter. |
|
McCain has his hands deep in the Freddie/Fannie issue as well. Pile on Keating, Abramhoff, and a voting record that is less than stellar. Then, mix (or hang on) a brainless twit for a running mate, and you've got the makings of a losing run for the presidency.
McCain is an idiot. Brainless Barbie is too. I don't wnat these two anywhere near the white house. Both have the morals of an ally cat, both have had affairs, and at least one has a kocked up teenager she did not have time for, who is now (at 17) 'considering' a wedding this summer. |
|
Hey Read-a-book,
Have you read Obama's books? What did that tell you about the kind of man he is? It told me a lot. It told me he is not prepared to be President.
|
|
The last two years the Democrates have been in charge,
and look what happened,
Pelsoi, Reid, Dodd, Franks,
Franklin Rains, Jim Johnson,
Fannie and Freddie and ACORN,
a copputed organization associated with,
Barak Obama,
whos more of the same. |
|
McCain is 72 years old and has a history of aggressive skin cancer.
Sarah Palin is in no way, shape, or form qualified to be the President of the United States. Anyone who still thinks so after watching that piece of performance art she tried to pass off as a debate last Thursday seriously needs to have his head examined.
McCain has a very good chance of dying in office, and Palin would be an unmitigated disaster if she were to take over.
I am a conservative and have voted Republican 95% of the time since I was 18 years old.
I will not vote for John McCain because I would rather take a chance on Barack Obama than Sarah Palin. |
|
Regarding McSame, remember the dismal history of this candidate,the Keating Five and the resultant scandal might come to mind. Don't forget the meda cover-up involving Cindy McCain's pill addiction. That ended in the medical license of the program director being permanently suspended. Can't forget John's abandoning the crippled Mrs. McCain I.
Lobby Lobby Lobby is McCain's hobby. Looking back a couple of decades, McSame carpetbagged into Arizona, armed with Cindy'$ fund$, and hardly addressed any Arizona i$$ues except for Native American gambling. Craps! Az Desert Rat |
|
|
McCain lost my vote when he put Palin on the ticket. |
|
What a silly article!
McCain may be older than Obama, but has he shown that he's learned amything? Just look at his behavior during the last couple of weeks: The fundamentals of the economy are strong - The economy is cratering - I'm suspending my campaign - I'm showing up at the debate - I voted for the bailout bill - Bush should veto it.
And before this, your 72-year-old candidate, with a history of cancer, who always maintained he would put his country before his campaign, nominated a woman with no practically no experience and who, though despite being a journalism major, can't recall a single newspaper or magazine and who actually thinks that being able to see Alaska gives her foreign policy experience! Her performance at the debate was only judged a "success" because the bar was so low - but most of the spectators think Biden won. And they are insulted that winking and refusing to answer the moderator's questions should be tolerated in a candidate for the office that is to be a heartbeat away from a cancer survivor. In fact, many conservatives have come out against her and her lack of qualification.
These are just a few of McCain's problems. He's a gambler, a thrower of dice, a man who crashes planes. Not the steady hand one wants in the POTUS. |
|
"1. Obama used to work for ACORN, and actually had a real accomplishment there: he badgered banks into giving mortgages to subprime borrowers."
ACORN worked with CRA banks and thrifts, which issued less than 20% of subprime loans and have had a much lower default rate than the big lenders like IndyMac and Countrywide.
I don't believe that Obama actually had anything to do with mortgages while working with ACORN; he worked on voter registration.
"3. Fannie and Freddie caused the financial meltdown."
No one actually believes that. They contributed, but it would be more accurate to say that they were victims of it. They did allow themselves to be victimized.
"4. In the initial bailout package, Obama favored giving $20 billion to ACORN (eventually it was dropped)."
ACORN wasn't mentioned at all in the bill. There was a provision that would have allowed state and local governments to funnel a percentage of the profits from bailouts to a given set of organizations. ACORN could be a member of that set under certain circumstances. Republicans, who don't like the idea of state and local governments being in control of anything, protested the provision.
"In sum: Obama has blood on his hands regarding our $700 billion bailout, whether it's by ideology or by corruption or both."
No more than McCain did, in supporting the original bill and voting for the revised one.
" For the first time, I am tasting real fear for this country."
Drama queen. |
|
McCain wins, if the following connections are revealed to the American public quickly (facts are a stubborn thing, so maybe the MSM will have no choice; Fox is the only one doing its job so far):
1. Obama used to work for ACORN, and actually had a real accomplishment there: he badgered banks into giving mortgages to subprime borrowers.
2. In the Senate, Obama quickly got into bed with Fannie and Freddie, taking their money and continuing to embrace social re-engineering.
3. Fannie and Freddie caused the financial meltdown.
4. In the initial bailout package, Obama favored giving $20 billion to ACORN (eventually it was dropped).
In sum: Obama has blood on his hands regarding our $700 billion bailout, whether it's by ideology or by corruption or both.
Another reason to vote McCain-Palin:
If Obama's elected, then appoints two liberal supreme court judges, guess what? We might as well move to Russia. Over there, all branches of government are controlled by one party, and the media parrots the party line (oh, and I forgot to mention the "fairness doctrine"). If Obama is elected, nothing will stop the liberal kamikaze mission. For the first time, I am tasting real fear for this country. |

ReadABook writes: "you seem like a nice enough fellow but if you honestly believe that a magical being in the sky chooses your leaders for you debating you is beyond possible."
Obama, the candidate of atheists.
85% of Americans believe in God. So does Obama, or so he said. Or is he putting on an act to fool the voters?
Obama claims to be a devout Christian. Go argue with him.
|
|
ReadABook, you don't understand what is motivating devout Christians like Katy.
Most of them got interested in politics SOLELY to promote Christian values at the national level. That means opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, etc.
Obama is 100% pro-choice. To women like Katy, that makes him a monster--he supports the murder of the unborn.
I'm not as doctrinaire on abortion as others on TH. But for them, that's non-negotiable. |
|
Katy writes: "This man is a radical marxist. Take a look at Venezeula or Cuba. You think that cannot happen here? You are wrong. O will go after our personal power of wealth, guns, speech and values and we will have very little left to fight with. Our pocket constitutions will be worthless in the face of a fascist Gov."
How do you know all that?
Who told you all that?
Where did you get all this information from? If you're privy to some secret documents about Obama that reveals all this, I would sure like to see it.
Is Obama a doctrinaire liberal? YES, he is! But does that mean he's going to wreck the country? Not necessarily.
Stop the hysteria already. We've had liberal Presidents in America: FDR, Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter. We're still here.
Chill out.

Maher's is a masterful movie? Bill has never done anything masterfully in his life. Back when he was even semi-funny he was only a 2nd rate talent. Now he is just an angry hack.
Now if want to be entertained go see 'An American Carol'. Very funny. |

"Most folks refuse to post McCain signs or bumper stickers"
It's more likely that they just can't get them. The McCain campaign at the foot-soldier level is a complete disaster, at least here in N. Virginia. There are probably 4-5 Obama campaign offices to every one that McCain has, and the former appear bustling and busy while the latter may well be abandoned.
I've seen similar reports from all over the country. McCain is running a TERRIBLE campaign at the grass-roots. Obama is hitting all the traditional parts of a campaign and also using high-tech. Example: Obama is offering a downloadable iPhone app that processes your contact list to optimize political calls. McCain is probably translating his sound bites into Morse Code for quicker telegraph transmission. |

I really do. But Hugh _did_ predict that Republicans would retain control of Congress (his statement was something to the effect of "the Amercian people aren't dummies - they aren't going to trust the party of surrender with the security of this country"), so I'm not feeling sanguine about his latest prediction.
Hugh, when Pete Coors lost his Senatorial bid, you said he'd lost because "he wouldn't stoop to conquer". I disagreed with that - Pete simply followed the tradition of wealthy Coloradans (Republican and Democrat) who've run for high office with no previous political experience, and it showed in his campaign.
But I _do_ think that seems to be McCain's failing. He won't hit Obama and his fellow Democrats on the very substantive issue of government-mandated bad loans - either because he thinks that will make him look too negative, or because he treasures his "bipartisan" reputation (and the leading actors in the housing bubble are almost all Democrats), or because he doesn't want to offend the few Republicans who assisted the Democrats' "affordable housing" agenda.
If McCain is afraid to tarnish his bipartisan reputation in order to win, then I'd have real doubts about his ability to govern in the face of the screaming Left (who will scream VERY LOUDLY if Obama loses). Unless he changes his tune, I think our only hope is in Sarah Palin, who seems to have been unleashed to attack Obama's record and far-lefty associations. |

The post about "HISTORY" being on Obama's side
forgot to mention:
History repeating itself
As Germany went: so will the USA go under
Obama the modern Hitler:
the people did not care when they put Hitler into power
the people do not care as they put Obama into power:
Obama will destroy this nation for generations:
Anyone with children should take the time to review what they are doing for their children and grandchildren: Obama will destroy their lives: |
|
Most folks refuse to post McCain signs or bumper stickers
BECAUSE ::: Obama's HOODS and Thugs: the Ayers communist organization
DESTROYS the property of folks who post McCain signs and destroy cars with McCain bumper stickers:
THAT IS NOT an indication: count the number of "SILENT" houses on your street: That gives you another indication:
I even tell folks who I know are hostile that I plan to vote for Obama or tell them I do not vote: I do not want my throat slit: |
|
everyone has made up their minds: HITLER OBAMA
sounds too good to them: They are the illiterate, the parasites and the "ORGANIZERS"
lke Ayers: Obama: SOROS, etc.
No one wants to learn the truth:
They ignored the warnings about Hitler:
They will ignore the warnings about Obama:
HE SAYS: over and over::; They will try to scare you into not voting for me:
HITLER said the identical thing:
The media was in the bag for Hitler as it is in the bag for Obama:
NO ONE WANTS to hear the Ugly truth: they just want to become parasites:

WATCH SEAN HANNITY TONIGHT, CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTING! |

I was at the neighborhood beauty shop in Ft. Worth yesterday. All seven people, over 50, are lifelong working class Democrats...ALL are voting for McCain/Palin and have NEVER voted Republican in their lives! (4 were Mexican, 3 were white, 1 was a male)
They all said they would have voted for Hillary and can't even consider voting for Obama. They are not fooled by the media and are mad they have such an unqualified candidate. I asked what they didn't like about him. They said, "twenty years listening to, "God damn America" is not someone who can be president of this great country...they haven't forgotten Rev. Wright.
There's only one Obama sign in the neighborhood...there were a lot of Kerry signs back in the day. |

In these trying times, it is hard to think anything will ever get better. We are all reexamining our recent past to see what, if anything, could have been done.
I think as things get more difficult, one tends to turn to their core values to get back, or even stay on track.
I have edged closer to my own core values. It helps to remind myself that everything works for the Greater Good. Not...everything good works for the Greater Good, But EVERYTHING.
I know when I hold true to the values in my heart, I will make the right decision. Regardless, I think we should pray for our country, and we should pray for our leaders.
One should never forget that our country is one of the best places to live, and we should show our pride by getting out to vote. There are millions who do not have that privilege, and subsequently don’t share that pride in their corner of the world.
We can make a bigger difference. God bless America.

You have been schooled already in that, sucker. The campaign has shown us that Barack is Presidential fiber. It has also shown us that you are a blithering fool. One learns a few things along the way.
One thing for sure, McCain is too much a reckless liar to hold the office. And in fact, most of his supporters are reckless liars as well. |

"Er..something tells me that continuum...is our friend Cicero. I could be very wrong, but I would be willing to place a small bet on it."
You are in fact wrong, Diane, as you are almost every time you open your mouth. You're lucky now one took you up on your bet.
I haven't read the exchanges with "continuum" yet, but if indeed he or she is an Anglican-Catholic of a paleocon bent, I will extend my welcome to that individual.
"I've known Cicero for years (via cyberspace, that is). Like many Americans, he specializes in church-hopping. Most recently he has vacillated between the Anglican Continuum and Eastern Orthodoxy. Which is he on any given day? Qui sait?"
Which, as I explained numerous times in said cyberspace, might very well mean that I'm more of a truth-seeker, that is, more intellectually honest, than people who've never "converted." Regardless, I'm still Orthodox after all these years, though I highly regard the Anglo-Catholic tradition and the "Continuum."
That being said, let me suggest to you a couple of things: 1) most people here won't be interested in our past exchanges about theological and ecclesiological matters; and 2) *I'm* not interested in rehashing those exchanges with you here. So why don't you just try sticking to the subject matter of these blog entries, which principally are concerned with political matters?
"Diane, Papist and proud of it :) from an NC parish that's one-half Hispanic."
We're happy for you, dear. But something tells me you're not done talking to us about it. |

I have to do this on a regular basis, what with new people coming in here from time to time, and all, but I welcome the oppotunity to set the record straight once again:
I'm not a liberal, or a lefty. I'm a conservative. A true one. Unlike you and most of the other purported conservatives who post on this board.
I'm a representative of the conservative past you neo(pseudo)cons have jettisoned for a mess of ideological pottage. I represent the cultural and political tradition you have rejected for the modernism you think you need to help conservatism "evolve." Problem is, your neoconseratism is "evolving" toward roughly the same place liberalism is. And why shouldn't it? Other than its hawkish elements and its occasional tip of the hat to the "religious right", neoconservatism shares many a belief with liberalism. Like liberals, neocons are statists; they merely have some sort of predilection to some watered-down form of economic libertarianism that liberals don't have. Liberals lean more toward socalism. But by and large, liberals and neocons represent, respectively, two sides of the same worthless political coin.
Hope that clears it up for you. |

The Obama supporters were out yesterday while we noticed one sign state "Obama for leader of America!" I had to open my window and ask "Shouldn't that say Obama for leader of the world?" Her reply, "what's the differance?"
America wake up! You voted democrats into congress and the senate and look what you have now! Look at states like Michigan and Wisconsin. Cities like Milwaukee, Detroit, San Francisco, Chicago, and a host of others that have had democratic leadership for years. Do you want that the rest of the country? It's time we boot out these liberals and give a conservative led congress, senate, and President a chance to get this country back to it's winning ways. Can you imagine a Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and liberal court system led America? I call that a nightmare! |

Obama Won.
The President on Monday, 15 Sept 2008. We won't find out who won the President's race until 2 AM Eastern on 5 Nov 2008, Wednesday morning when fittingly and appropiately, Hawaii with 4 electoral votes will be the decisive vote.
John McCain does not want to be President, he would rather be a nice guy than win this election.
The Democrats are always saying the 8 years of bad Bush policies caused this economic downturn. I have not seen anyone say anything how the Bush 2003 tax cuts cutting the capitol gains and dividend tax to 15% has been a good thing or that the economy was doing pretty good to around 2006 in spite of 9/11 . Americans wouldn't understand that this economy we have now is because of bad monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.
No matter what McCain/Palin does or say or whom the RNC Convetnion nominated, Obama won.

'Obama would have made the situation even worse by pushing Freddie/Fannie even harder to pump out "politically correct" mortgages. Unbridled government intervention into the free market was more of a problem than "unbridled capitalism."'
You are alluding to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), about which some serious misinformation is being spread. The CRA was passed 31 years ago to eliminate the discriminatory practice of redlining by banks and thrift institutions in mortgage and small business loans. It is alleged to be a major cause of the subprime crisis, but those allegations are on shaky ground.
The banks and thrifts to which the CRA applies have in fact made much safer loans than other lending institutions, resulting in much lower default rates. Only about 20% of the risky subprime loans were issued by institutions under the control of the CRA. My own interpretation is that CRA banks and thrifts, being smaller and more local than the big lenders, were more apt to be in close touch with their customer's needs and ability to pay. Think the Bailey Building & Loan in "It's a Wonderful Life."
The big lenders, like Countrywide and IndyMac, are at the root of the subprime crisis. They are not subject to the CRA.
Btw, it's illogical to simultaneously blame Obama for the crisis and claim that he's been completely ineffectual in the Senate. |

I'm back. Sorry I got a life.
I gave you probably 30 sources on Obama sleazy friends. All of these from his home state and reporters that are openly Obama supporters. You give me some partisan AP story. You are a very sad man. |

These same people who the Democrats under the guise of saying they wanted to help (euphemism for ensnare) have done these folks a huge disservice. Many will now attempt to declare bankruptcy which is now much more difficult as a result of legislation Joe Biden pushed because of his ties to MBNA and his son Hunter’s lucrative lobbying deal at the same bank. Their credit will be ruined for the foreseeable future as a result of this debacle. These same people, who maybe couldn’t afford a house but would still be consumers of automobiles, furniture, appliances, and other goods through installment loans, are now going to be prevented from doing so. They will be relegated to saving for a large expenditure or go to predatory lenders (legal loan sharks).
I take no joy in seeing anyone in a difficult financial situation either of their own making or not. However, the people that are involved in a speculative endeavor for which I am less inclined to feel empathy; the others took the bait. My wife and I had a house in Austin, Texas in which we lost 40% in the mid/late 1980s…again as the result of government tinkering.
People say the Democrats have such good intentions. Bull Shlt, I don’t buy it! I think they are sinister people not seeking to enhance people’s personal growth but to create a perpetual underclass, generation after generation. The same people that continually vote for these reprobates are rarely better for it…unless there is some inside deal. The same complaints that these Democrats say they are going to fix never get fixed. Education, accumulation of wealth good jobs, etc. The root of all these problems can be eliminated with education. Who has nearly complete charge of the education apparatchik in the United States and has for decades? Why do the Democrats oppose school vouchers? One has to believe that these people are either as insidious as I suggest or they are continually wrong about everything. In either case why keep reelecting them? |

Looking for Obama voters?
You might want to try the bus terminals and the plasma centers. |
|
Senator McCain knows what he has to do to win the presidential battle, if he doesn't know. Then I would think that he shouldn't be in the race. He has to lay out his plans and push them, show the difference between Obama and him. People want to know what’s the difference, the young voters that support Obama are not street wise, most of them are looking for that government freebie, which Obama promises, and if he is elected and doesn't deliver then his 2nd term will die, if he leads the country like Jimmy Carter then it will be back to the Republicans.
Clinton's first 2 years in office were a disaster until the people elected a republican congress. Right now the congress
needs a complete overhaul, starting with Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, Reid and I could go on forever. We will have to suffer if Obama and crew gets in but we can look forward to a better next 4 years as long as we are not a satellite for some socialist country.

These folks can't debated with. They are sheeple. Part person, part sheep. They are only capable of repeating what they hear on the radio.
That's not freedom, sheeple. |

8 years of Republicans in the White House have brought this country to its knees - national debt bigger and bigger, jobs lost, financial crisis.
The ordinary American is much worse off than they were 8 years ago.
People do not see a hopeful future for their children.
It is the economy stupid and people will vote for Obama. |
|
|
Russia takes Ukraine, Iran takes American hostages (this is of course, Carter's 3rd term),the market plunges 33% and a massive attack of rockets comes out of Syria into Israel. The msm will cover it all like they now cover Iraq. Thank God Obama's "strong diplomacy" will convince our enemies to back down. Behold his mighty hand on the economy. After all, he ran as a fical conservative, a balanced budget and "fairness" for all. Thank God for "Dear Leader". Oh yeah, the executive order demanding all radio stations give equal time to opposing viewpoints. |

While I appreciate your effort to encourage Republicans, America is sick and tired of the Republican party running the Country into the ground.
Face it, McCain is nowhere on the same level as Obama. He is too damn old for one thing! He is not very smart or intelligent (neither is Sarah Palin) and he has no message! I am sick and tired of hearing about his POW days. He trys to make people feel sorry for him.
History is on Obama's side! Live with it and deal with it! again, we don't want an old, dried up, and tired PResident! |

Let's be clear, the cause was liberal social engineering, not "unbridled capitalism", and Barack Obama was smack dab in the middle of it. To wit:
1. As a community organizer, he worked for ACORN to force banks to make risky loans to low income people. Funny how we never heard that part of the story until now.
2. In Congress, he was the 2nd biggest recipient of Fannie/Freddie contributions.
3. In Congress, he also blocked (or refused to vote on) legislation (pushed by McCain) to rein in Fannie and Freddie.
4. As the Democratic nominee, he had Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson help/advise his campaign (former corrupt Freddie/Fannie CEO's)
5. During the $700bn bailout saga, he supported adding $20 billion in assistance to ACORN (it was eventually dropped from the bill).
Folks, we should all be pissed off at what has happened, and we should all want change. But electing Barack Obama is not the right answer. He has not brought change to Washington, and he will not bring change to Washington, because he cannot bring change to Washington, because he is a typical politician. He has been part of the problem, not part of the solution.
On top of all of this, he wants to raise taxes and spending. If we throw a tax-and-spend liberal agenda on top of the wreckage of previous liberal policies, we'll end up in a depression.
Don't vote for Obama just because you don't like George Bush. Please take a look at the situation we're in, and ask who is more likely to reform Washington.
If you want to watch a documentary on this whole thing, check out the Fox News special (sure, the Dems will say it's biased). |

Hugh,
I believe you are correct on this but I am still very nervous going into this election. The Obama signs in my area outnumber the McCain signs 10-1 at least. There is no way that Oregon will carry McCain but that probably won't be a factor in the election anyway.
I pray that your prediction is correct, I have seen nothing from Obama that would bring me to consider voting for him.

McCain couldn't even look at Obama during the debate.
Obama walked over to shake his hand.
How does that beggar McCain's ability to deal with others? Very bad -- which is what America saw. And sees in Palin. Keep up the fear and hate-mongering. |
|
|
|
Munck,
Which of the above would have been best at preventing the financial meltdown? I'd have to go with McCain. While Bush and McCain both pushed for Freddie/Fannie reform, I think McCain would have pushed harder as president. Obama would have made the situation even worse by pushing Freddie/Fannie even harder to pump out "politically correct" mortgages. Unbridled government intervention into the free market was more of a problem than "unbridled capitalism." |
|
Munck,
I don't know what to tell you, we could go on and on. It's obvious the Obama formula is "McCain = Bush." As a recent example, yet another Obama ad uses the line: "Guess that’s why they say: John McCain – McSame as Bush!"
Let me enumerate a few differences between McCain and Bush:
- spending
- earmarks
- a record of bipartisanship
- a record of pissing off the Republican establishment and the right wing of the party
- a record of ethics reform
- the prosecution of the Iraq war
- their take on Putin
- a desire to be less unilateral
- global warming
- torture
- Guantanomo Bay
- 9/11 commission (resisted by Bush)
- related: McCain is less stubborn
- VP attributes (insider vs. outsider)
- real military experience
- ANWR drilling
- handling of "no child left behind"
- a desire to fire Christopher Cox
- pronunciation of "nuclear"
Time for bed. |

I would like to see the Obamunists on this thread call Hugh's show and make your arguments. It's so eeeeeasy on here...Now that would make for serious radio. chomp chomp...spit...splat. |

If O's "Chicago machine" tenacles are as far reaching as they appear to be ie. Obama camps, voter fraud courtesy of ACORN, the media, illegal campaign funding from Saudi Arabia, Gaza, etc. , George Soros, and a host of other delightful groups and individuals, I would not put it past O to have many of the pollsters in the bag too. If you check the internals of these polls they are a mess in many ways. BTW I watched the first few skits on SNL tonight... ya know, the whole Tina fey thing is getting old. REALLY old. It was very funny at first, but now it's kinda stupid. GO CUDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was knockin' em dead in California today. heee hee heee ;) Wouldn't it be great if they took California. Holy Crap. GET OFF YOUR BUTTS PEEPS AND WALK THE NEIGHBORHOODS. STICKERS ON CARS. MAKE CALLS. EVEN IF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TELL YOU TO "LEAVE ME ALONE". I would rather have my freedoms than a few less ignorant friends.

Living out here in California I've had a chance to listen to Hugh on radio for nearly 15 years. When it comes to election predictions he's almost always wrong. I'd like to think he'd be right for once when it comes to this election, but the odds are he's going to be wrong again. |
|
Personally I am not buying the polls - I live in a state where according to the polls Obama is suppose to have 52% of support - yet I have searched everywhere - and to date I have only found 1 Obama voter.
The shear odds indicate 50% of the people I work with, my husband works with, our neighbors and friends says I should be bumping into them everywhere I go.
I even live in a college town, I have decided the polls are flawed, its the only explnation - so I will keep on plugging away, recruiting more votes for McCain and expect him to win. |

"Invented by the process of evolution, of course."
Yeah, of course. |

I didn't know blood was invented. |

Sarah Palin hurting McCain in the South?
They think she talks funny. Obama can at least sound Southern when he wants to. This is a skill which McCain and Palin lack
========================================
Actually coming the south, I can thankfully say you are very wrong.

"However, if you do not believe McCain = Bush, how can you respect a campaign that perpetuates that lie at every opportunity, ad nauseum?"
I haven't seen the campaign do that. I have seen them make the point that McCain will continue many of Bush's policies, and I do think there's a real danger of that. McCain would have little choice but to do that, as he'd be boxed in by a Democratic Congress and the need to stay on the good side of a far-right constituency that believes in them. After all, that die-hard 20% that still supports Bush will be 40% of McCain's constituency.
Making the point that McCain has voted with Bush 95% of the time is not the same as claiming they are the same as each other.
Obama, on the other hand, will have the freedom and the mandate to discard as many of Bush's more odious policies, executive orders, appointments, etc. as possible, as fast as possible. And he'll have the active cooperation of Congress.
We want change, and McCain isn't enough of it. |
|
Munck,
Thank you for a courteous and thoughtful response. However, if you do not believe McCain = Bush, how can you respect a campaign that perpetuates that lie at every opportunity, ad nauseum? The argument alone has persuaded people who will now vote for Obama. And if people vote based on a lie, is this not a bad thing? |
|
I was speaking figuratively. I always vote. |
|
"Now, I think I'm staying home."
Don't do that. Any third-party candidates you can bring yourself to vote for? Or a name you can write in, preferably someone who might get other write-ins (and isn't Mickey Mouse or equivalent).
I think that staying home, which leads to low turnout in general, makes us as a nation look bad. It calls into question our basic system of government. Voting is a quintessentially American action, and usually makes you feel good. Go vote. |
|
"It's where human blood was invented." ... Please say you're not serious"
Huh? It's quite definitively established that homo sapiens sapiens evolved from earlier forms on the continent of Africa and spread from there to the rest of the world. Are you disputing that, or are you one of these people who doesn't believe in science?
Or were you confused by my somewhat off-handed use of the word "invented?" Invented by the process of evolution, of course. |
|
|
You hit the nail on the head. I was voting for McCain until the Palin nomination. Now, I think I'm staying home. I couldn't pull the trigger for Obama, but I'll be da*mned if I'll pull the trigger for a man with a 15% chance of dying within the next four years when he has chosen a bright but terrifyingly unprepared and ideological VP. |

NeoCon, Hallelujah!
It’s time to “throw the bums out” in this election and expose the culprits behind our $700 billion taxpayer bailout. The “bums” are Obama and the Democrats with their Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac connections, as Cal Thomas explained well in his September 27 piece, "Blame Democrats for Financial Crisis"
http://www.middletownjournal.com/o/content/oh/story/opinio ns/editorial/2008/09/27/swg092708thomas.html
McCain and the Republicans tried to stop the disaster through stricter Fannie/Freddie oversight; Dems blocked them, and Obama did nothing (just check on YouTube for CSPAN footage). No wonder: Obama has been the top recipient of Fannie/Freddie campaign contributions, behind only Democrat Chris Dodd (and just ahead of Democrat John Kerry). Some of Obama’s top advisors include former Fannie/Freddie CEO’s, who resigned under clouds of suspicion.
If Barack Obama wins the presidency, and Democrats retain control of Congress, then we will have great cause for concern, if not downright anger: the exact people responsible for the $700 billion bailout will be running both the executive and legislative branches, spending the $700 billion we are giving them and no doubt avoiding any real investigation or accountability. This is an outcome American cannot afford.
The only way to expose what truly happened and prevent a recurrence is to vote Republican this election.
|

"John McCain = George Bush."
I've never suggested or argued that, nor do I believe it has any truth. They're very different people; Bush is remarkably oblivious, incurious, and self-centered, while McCain is brighter and more aware of the world around him. I don't really think that McCain would make a bad president to the same degree that Bush has, especially with heavy Democratic majorities in Congress.
What I do fear is the possibility of Palin succeeding to the Presidency. She is much more like Bush than McCain is and would, I believe, actually endanger the survival of the nation. As a secondary effect, McCain loses a lot of credit for picking her; he put his election ahead of the country. |

"Obama's father was from Kenya but he was mostly of arabic descent. Someone broke his linage down and it seemed to be as good a break down as any and it seems like Obama has about 12.5% african blood."
Dude, look at the picture I linked to. And look at the other one I link to at the end. The question is, who are you going to believe "someone", or your own lying eyes. But more than that, ask yourself who the "someone" is who broke it down and figured out that Obama is exactly:
"Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.”
Amazing how they arrived at such accurate numbers. This is a smear - like him being a muslim, and educated at a madrassah and etc. etc. etc...
Look, he's friendly with a terrorist, bought his house from a crook, has no experience, and a wife who seems to be something of a shrew. Isn't that enougn? Do we really have to deny him being black and make him the only ethnicity that gives him even less of a chance of winning? Does it have to go *that* far?
This isn't directed at you, but at people like Cotton who are willing to believe literally anything about Obama. Anything. This stuff and Bush being behind 9/11 are on the same par, and believed for the same reasons.

Munck, you are incoherent and evasive, yet somehow maintain a high opinion of yourself.
Obama's entire campaign is built on a lie -- that John McCain = George Bush. People aren't stupid, although you appear to be. The only reason Obama's ahead in the polls is that the MSM has piled on to perpetuate the lie -- that John McCain = George Bush. Can you really look at yourself in the mirror and believe that? You should be ashamed of yourself for backing an empty suit full of hot air, a classic insider greaseball politician. I don't know what you seek, but it's certainly not the truth. |

"Obama has about 12.5% african blood."
In fact, we all have 100% African blood, every one of us. It's where human blood was invented. |

Obama's father was from Kenya but he was mostly of arabic descent. Someone broke his linage down and it seemed to be as good a break down as any and it seems like Obama has about 12.5% african blood. If that makes him african american fine, if not fine. There are idiots on both sides of the aisle. |

"Too Good to Pass Up"
Cottoneyed's rant is a practically verbatim quote from Rush Limbaugh; he just doesn't bother to mention that. You can tell, though, that it's not his writing. Most of his many extraneous quote-marks and commas are missing. Cottoneyed did change Limbaugh's original text by substituting "Obambi" and an extra comma does creep in there. |
|
Your crazy, dude.
"No more soup for you"!

Cottoneyed writes:
"Also, how come obambi is called African-American? He has not one ounce of African-American, blood! He's half Arab, half white, where's the African-American? Obambi, is a walking, talking, contradiction. Nothing is as it appears with this guy, nothing!"
Where to start? First, it's just Wikipedia, but it makes sense: "African Americans.... In the United States, the term is generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry." Obama's dad was from Kenya, a Sub-Saharan African country. So, what is Obama if not African-American? Is there some rule I missed that says your distant ancestor had to be brought across the Middle Passage in chains for you to be African-American?
Second, Kenya is in east Africa. Obama's dad comes from Kenya. He was not an Arab. He and the entire Obama clan are part of the Luo tribe, the third largest tribe in Kenya, making up about 12% of the population. Arabs make up less than one percent of the population of Kenya. A link following this post shows a picture of Barack Sr. I know, there are black Arabs, but that man just does not look like he has any Arabic blood in him. Do you really believe he's half Arab just because you heard it on Rush Limbaugh?

When [McCain] wandered through answer after answer it gradually dawned that he is indeed way past his prime, a Bob Dole without the energy. Sure, he tramps from event to event, but at 71 he is not the same maverick he was at 63 when the McCain phenomenon swept New Hampshire and Michigan before running into conservative reality in South Carolina. Even the McCain enthusiasts watch this aging warrior and know that he could no more win in the fall than Dole could in ‘96. Politics is not exclusively a young man’s game, but it is most definitely not an old man’s game either.
A GOP vote for McCain is a vote for a shattered base and a desultory campaign in the fall. It is a vote for lecture after lecture on global warming, campaign finance reform, and the bridge to nowhere. It is a vote for an old warrior way past his prime and the prospect of three debates against Barack Obama in which the age and energy gap goes unremarked upon while devastatingly obvious.

the Carter years and the 10% unemployment, 10% inflation, and 20% interest rates. The next 4 years, if Obama wins, will probably be worse but we'll be able survive. I just hope there is another Reagan out there to pull us out of the "mailise" Obama and the democrat congress puts us in. |

Hussein Soetoro Obambi. They will do anything, say anything, print anything, show anything, write anything, show skewed poll numbers, all, to make damn sure that B. Hussein Soetoro Obambi is elected President of these United States of America.

"olbernutter would be making that proclamation with a fat lip and a broken nose"
Yeah, that's the standard right-wing reaction.
"Dollars to donuts, Neo, that the self righteous Munk, would run like a school girl if he ever had to defend himself."

"never fail to reveal yourselves, your always right"
The above portion of a sentence is incorrect. It should say "never fail to reveal you're always right".'
I'm not sure whom you think you're correcting; that line was quoted from cottoneyed. I myself wouldn't try to correct his spelling, grammar, or thought processes; some things are beyond repair. |

of course our Sarah would send a straight right hand at olbernutter's leftist jaw, and down goes the nutter, down goes the nutter. These leftists, they don't like strong women, makes them feel, insecure. |

...is our friend Cicero. I could be very wrong, but I would be willing to place a small bet on it.
I've known Cicero for years (via cyberspace, that is). Like many Americans, he specializes in church-hopping. Most recently he has vacillated between the Anglican Continuum and Eastern Orthodoxy. Which is he on any given day? Qui sait?

It used to be: "Obama is toast!" and McCain 40 states +."
Now it's: "Keith Olbermann has a fat a**!" and "Sarah Palin can beat up liberals."
Is there a clearer sign that Rosie O'Donnell is about to sing? |

sorry not to get back to ya sooner. Yep, George was Santa's uncle. Genius. Went to Harvard. He was an eagleatarian: thought everybody was equal, with one exception. Him. Lived at the top of a tall old whispering pine.
Well, it's gonna get UGLY from here on in, Magua. Please remember me the way I was.
I am your most obedient servant, sincerely, |

Hugh also thought that the democrats wouldn't sweep the senate in 2006--clearly he was DEAD wrong.
This is the same mentality George Bush Senior had in 1992. When it looked like he was going to lose his words were "People are going to vote for a draft dodger". Well, clearly he was wrong and people are saying the same about Big O. Well, unfortunately, its the same nearly 20 years later, McCain believes that he wouldn't lose as nobody would vote for someone with close ties to terrorists. Well, sadly the U.S. doesn't seem to care about that, its more selfishness and thinking merely about the economy.
Well guess what, if we have another 9/11, believe me the last thing on your mind will be your 401K... |

i don't, that's your domain. You leftists, you can only govern by decree and you can only debate, by proclaiming your superiority.
Also, self righteous, I've been meaning to ask, what is it with you leftists, you don't like strong women, especially, strong white women. Look at obambi, for instance, he gave the finger to Hillary, right in public, and he has total disdain for her, he called his white grandmother, "a typical white person", and now, our Sarah. He sent all his leftists goons up to Alaska, in an effort to uncover and find any dirt on the strong white women! I think he's got some hang ups on this white mother thing. He did say in one of those books, he wrote, that he wished that he could remove all the white blood he has! I think he's scared to death of strong white women and i think you are, too. Your actions, display, a kind of a low grade, misogyny.
Also, how come obambi is called African-American? He has not one ounce of African-American, blood! He's half Arab, half white, where's the African-American? Obambi, is a walking, talking, contradiction. Nothing is as it appears with this guy, nothing! |

I figured since you were correcting spelling I will lend a hand.

IF Sarah didn't deck nancy-boy first! Let's see...catches and guts salmon and, somehow, Keithy would scare her. Uh-huh. Cute, ain't they?
Have you ever read my post about the night me and Missus Neo discovered--to our huge amusement--that Olbie has the Biggest, Plumpest Kiester in the Wooooorrrrrrlllllldddddddd...? Yep, Dodger Stadium, one night a few years ago. He and a cute little retinue of gay groupies sat 3-rows down from us. OMG! I always think about that hilarious scene when I notice Keith NEVER-EVER-EVERRRRRRR gets out from behind his Host Desk. The man is literally shaped like a triangle, not inverted!
Yep, Todd wouldn't have to lift a fist. Sarah would do that wonderful Sarah Wink as she smacked the Girl. |

"I have a reputation, built up over a period of 25+ years, as reformer and a maverick."
Hewitt, 1/11/2008: "Which brings us back to Senator McCain. His debate performance last night was wobbly, with meandering answers and an occasional grimace or misplaced wink. He fell back on his tired answers and many were exact repeats of Sunday night's programming. When he wandered through answer after answer it gradually dawned that he is indeed way past his prime, a Bob Dole without the energy. Sure, he tramps from event to event, but at 71 he is not the same maverick he was at 63 when the McCain phenomenon swept New Hampshire and Michigan before running into conservative reality in South Carolina. Even the McCain enthusiasts watch this aging warrior and know that he could no more win in the fall than Dole could in '96. Politics is not exclusively a young man's game, but it is most definitely not an old man's game either.
A GOP vote for McCain is a vote for a shattered base and a desultory campaign in the fall. It is a vote for lecture after lecture on global warming, campaign finance reform, and the bridge to nowhere. It is a vote for an old warrior way past his prime and the prospect of three debates against Barack Obama in which the age and energy gap goes unremarked upon while devastatingly obvious."
"[W]e’re looking at the media trying to make Barack Obama the president, and make John McCain the shill for him," Rick Santorum told me. "I think they know that John McCain can’t win this election," he concluded." |
