Guy Benson writes on the Dems' inability to land a hit on the GOP nominee.
Remember Joe Isuzu? Or Jon Lovtiz's "That's The Ticket" Pathological Liar? Or Al Gore and inventing the internet/flying with the FEMA director/the cost of his dog's medicine?
Barack Obama is making a bid to join that first circle of exaggerators. "It is a touching story -- but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified," concludes the Washington Post in a review of one claim Senator Obama has made about how his father got to the U.S.
Then's there's the question of resume puffery. The University of Chicago Law School has put out this statement about Senator Obama's past teaching at the school.
In fact, thanks to Hillary, we have a list of many of Senator Obama's, ah, improvisations with facts. I reproduce the March 25 memo from the campaign here in case you missed it:
3/25/2008
Just Embellished Words: Senator Obama’s Record of Exaggerations & Misstatements
Once again, the Obama campaign is getting caught saying one thing while doing another. They are personally attacking Hillary even though Sen. Obama has been found mispeaking and embellishing facts about himself more than ten times in recent months. Senator Obama’s campaign is based on words –not a record of deeds – and if those words aren’t backed up by facts, there’s not much else left.
"Senator Obama has called himself a constitutional professor, claimed credit for passing legislation that never left committee, and apparently inflated his role as a community organizer among other issues. When it comes to his record, just words won't do. Senator Obama will have to use facts as well," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said.
Sen. Obama consistently and falsely claims that he was a law professor. The Sun-Times reported that, "Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter." In academia, there's a significant difference: professors have tenure while lecturers do not. [Hotline Blog, 4/9/07; Chicago Sun-Times, 8/8/04]
Obama claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed. "Obama scolded Exelon and federal regulators for inaction and introduced a bill to require all plant owners to notify state and local authorities immediately of even small leaks. He has boasted of it on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Iowa in December that it was 'the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed.' 'I just did that last year,' he said, to murmurs of approval. A close look at the path his legislation took tells a very different story. While he initially fought to advance his bill, even holding up a presidential nomination to try to force a hearing on it, Mr. Obama eventually rewrote it to reflect changes sought by Senate Republicans, Exelon and nuclear regulators. The new bill removed language mandating prompt reporting and simply offered guidance to regulators, whom it charged with addressing the issue of unreported leaks. Those revisions propelled the bill through a crucial committee. But, contrary to Mr. Obama’s comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate." [New York Times, 2/2/08]
Obama misspoke about his being conceived because of Selma. "Mr. Obama relayed a story of how his Kenyan father and his Kansan mother fell in love because of the tumult of Selma, but he was born in 1961, four years before the confrontation at Selma took place. When asked later, Mr. Obama clarified himself, saying: 'I meant the whole civil rights movement.'" [New York Times, 3/5/07]
LA Times: Fellow organizers say Sen. Obama took too much credit for his community organizing efforts. "As the 24-year-old mentor to public housing residents, Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld's asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup. But others tell the story much differently. They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir 'Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.' Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book." [Los Angeles Times, 2/19/07]
Chicago Tribune: Obama's assertion that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing 'strains credulity.' "…Obama has been too self-exculpatory. His assertion in network TV interviews last week that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing strains credulity: Tribune stories linked Rezko to questionable fundraising for Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2004 -- more than a year before the adjacent home and property purchases by the Obamas and the Rezkos." [Chicago Tribune editorial, 1/27/08]
Obama was forced to revise his assertion that lobbyists 'won't work in my White House.' "White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was forced to revise a critical stump line of his on Saturday -- a flat declaration that lobbyists 'won't work in my White House' after it turned out his own written plan says they could, with some restrictions… After being challenged on the accuracy of what he has been saying -- in contrast to his written pledge -- at a news conference Saturday in Waterloo, Obama immediately softened what had been his hard line in his next stump speech." [Chicago Sun-Times, 12/16/07]
FactCheck.org: 'Selective, embellished and out-of-context quotes from newspapers pump up Obama's health plan.' "Obama's ad touting his health care plan quotes phrases from newspaper articles and an editorial, but makes them sound more laudatory and authoritative than they actually are. It attributes to The Washington Post a line saying Obama's plan would save families about $2,500. But the Post was citing the estimate of the Obama campaign and didn't analyze the purported savings independently. It claims that "experts" say Obama's plan is "the best." "Experts" turn out to be editorial writers at the Iowa City Press-Citizen – who, for all their talents, aren't actual experts in the field. It quotes yet another newspaper saying Obama's plan "guarantees coverage for all Americans," neglecting to mention that, as the article makes clear, it's only Clinton's and Edwards' plans that would require coverage for everyone, while Obama's would allow individuals to buy in if they wanted to.” [FactCheck.org, 1/3/08]
Sen. Obama said 'I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage,' but Obama health care legislation merely set up a task force. "As a state senator, I brought Republicans and Democrats together to pass legislation insuring 20,000 more children. And 65,000 more adults received health care…And I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage." The State Journal-Register reported in 2004 that "The [Illinois State] Senate squeaked out a controversial bill along party lines Wednesday to create a task force to study health-care reform in Illinois. […] In its original form, the bill required the state to offer universal health care by 2007. That put a 'cloud' over the legislation, said Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon. Under the latest version, the 29-member task force would hold at least five public hearings next year." [Obama Health Care speech, 5/29/07; State Journal-Register, 5/20/04]
ABC News: 'Obama…seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he made' on ethics reform. "ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: During Monday's Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he has made on disclosure of "bundlers," those individuals who aggregate their influence with the candidate they support by collecting $2,300 checks from a wide network of wealthy friends and associates. When former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel alleged that Obama had 134 bundlers, Obama responded by telling Gravel that the reason he knows how many bundlers he has raising money for him is "because I helped push through a law this past session to disclose that." Earlier this year, Obama sponsored an amendment [sic] in the Senate requiring lobbyists to disclose the candidates for whom they bundle. Obama's amendment would not, however, require candidates to release the names of their bundlers. What's more, although Obama's amendment was agreed to in the Senate by unanimous consent, the measure never became law as Obama seemed to suggest. Gravel and the rest of the public know how many bundlers Obama has not because of a 'law' that the Illinois Democrat has 'pushed through' but because Obama voluntarily discloses that information." [ABC News, a=href"http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/07/obama-exaggerat.html">7/23/07]
Obama drastically overstated Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance. "When Sen. Barack Obama exaggerated the death toll of the tornado in Greensburg, Kan, during his visit to Richmond yesterday, The Associated Press headline rapidly evolved from 'Obama visits former Confederate capital for fundraiser’ to ‘Obama rips Bush on Iraq war at Richmond fundraiser' to 'Weary Obama criticizes Bush on Iraq, drastically overstates Kansas tornado death toll' to 'Obama drastically overstates Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance.' Drudge made it a banner, ensuring no reporter would miss it." [politico.com, 5/9/07]

that don't like black people, they've used them for votes for the last 45 years, all the while, playing like they were down for the struggle, only struggle they were ever down for was the struggle for their power, that is white feminist liberal power, they are the party of white feminists, they own it, lock, stock and barrel, and the black guy can go to H...E...L...L, it's their turn, Hussein, Gloria says so.

this dem primary has shown, that, you white feminist liberals, simply have no standing, to accuse anyone of racism, either you are ignorant, or you refuse to see what has taken, place, for decades, you have used blacks, for their votes, all the while feigning disgust for racism, Wright, Farrakhan, and Obama, see through you, that don't buy it, and now, Obama is playing you, just like you played them for decades, for votes, of course, Obama won't admit that, he needs your vote, but these race hustlers, they make NO distinction, between you and me, we are white, we are the problem, the "blue eyed devil", if you will, the difference between you and me, is that i don't feel guilty, you do, and you feel that that guilt, exempts you from their scorn, it emphatically, does not, because in those sermons of Wright's, i heard NO distinction made, whitey is whitey, and as such, he is THE problem, and those sermons go on in black churches, all across this country, each and ever Sunday, and it is deplorable, and your white guilt, assuages nothing, for white feminists, both female and male, in your party are fighting tooth and nail, to maintain control, of it, and in doing so, exposes, your race problem, you simply have NO standing, concerning race any more. |

It surprises me not, that you implore me to repudiate some words of a poster on this thread----this site.
You and your Liberal/Leftist ilk are the authors of, "The Age Of Entitlement", and, by God, you are entitled to get from me what you demand. Of course, I shall never get away with demanding from you that you help clean up the vitriol, the HATE, the incredible ignorance, racism existing on sites such as, Huffington Post, DailyKos, MediaMatters, MoveOn.org, etc.
I mean those are your peeps on that site contributing to, despicable personal assaults. I could ask from you that you start your quest of entitlement by cleaning up your own backyard. But that would get me nowhere---for you would not remotely comply. You would most likely not offer a reply.
But this is all about your, "entitlement".
I find this phase of the campaign most revealing in its affirmation characteristics. Your own Democrat Party candidate, Hillary Clinton, digs up the lion's share of material which many of these threads are about, and people like you transfer your anxieties to conservatives. It's conservatives who are the, "race hustlers", not Bill Clinton with his various comments this year. Not Hillary Clinton and her twisting of phrases. Not reverend Wright. Nope, Democrats, progressives, leftists, libs are clean.
It's these damn posters on this site.
You got a 20+ year high level "mentor", a professed, "uncle" of your desired candidate stirring up bonafide African-Nationalist hate, Farrakhan-fomenting fandangos, U.S.KKK A.-conspiratorial concoctions, BUT YOU, call me out to chastise some "word" typed on a keyboard by an "alleged", republican-party-poster.
Pathetic.

You know who you non-admitting(EeeeeeeeeekK!!)Racists are: Any of youse trying to shut down Rev.Wright's talking points, sensitivity oratory, America Dissing, etc...??
No, me neither. Thanks.
Now, any of you Non-Admitting Reep Racists happen to be offended and alarmed that a candidate in Very Serious Contention for the Dem nom has this Jew Hater as his openly-proudly declared mentor and Spiritual Guide for 20-years?? Yeah, me too.
Okay...Now, Focus, you Con-Reep Racists: Does it remotely matter to you that the proud student of these inparted Wrightian Spiritual Principles is a)Black..b.)White...c.)Yellow...d.)Brown...e.) ANY other damned color....?????????????????????
Nope, me neither.
I LONG, LONG, LOOOOOONG Ago tired of cheap Race Hustlers and their Cheap Lib Water Boys. |

that the Republican base is filled with pathological creeps who think they know God's will, have divined the future, are nihilistic towards mankind and his prospects, and see the devil's work here and there and everywhere. It may not disturb you, but it disturbs me. And it disturbs me that Reep politicians pander to these louses, and that their mystic notions--from prosperity theology to exclusionary salvation to the divine right of Israel--encumber our body politic with shameless nonsense. That may not disturb you. It disturbs me.
What does not disturb me is a black leader venting, within the constraints of the First Amendment. That does not disturb me. I even see its social utility--although I agree with Barack that there is plenty of blame within the black community as well. What does disturb me is the extreme phoniness of people. That may not disturb you. It disturbs me because I would rather be a genuine racist than a phony baloney non-racist--and there are so many Americans who belong to this second camp. "What problem? There is no problem. There's a problem? Well it must be YOU." Yeesh. How flat and morally second-rate.. |

That's pretty corny, Laborlawyer.
What I'm saying is that you are inferring that "we" are responsible for what other people in this thread write---people by the way, whom we have never met, and would never recognize walking down the street---yet you have earnestly defended Obama's mentor relationship with Reverend Wrong.
Obama has attended Reverend Wrong's church for twenty years because he BELIEVES in him.
Obama wrote that Reverend Wrong is the most influential male in his life.
But I guess when all else fails, you can just impugne everyone by playing the race card.
Ironically, Reverend Wrong's church is the place where race is a defining issue. And Obama has winked at Reverend Wrong's hyperventillating anti-America, anti-Semitic hate-mongering for 20 years.
It may not disturb you that the foaming-at-the-mouth Jew-hating Louis Farrakhan is an honored member of society in the eyes of Obama's church, but it disturbs me. |

A definable number of Republicans are racists. The rest aren't, but they'll wink knowingly at the bigots amongst them rather than confronting them. And Republicans as a whole don't care if the way they win is by whipping up race hatred.
If that's "western civilization", you can count me out.
I really feel sad about this. But it is nonetheles proof that Obama and Condi Rice are right in pointing out how burdened we are by America's "birth defect". You folks can joke about it all you want (yes, you too Neo) but it reveals a serious moral failing on the conservative side of American politics.
It may work. It has in the past. But that will never, ever make it morally right.

is that how you always introduce yourself?

Good point re: Bush and WMD. He's not responsible for that, but BHO is culpable for some anti-semitic rant in his church bulletin.
And to compound it, this us the same crowd that argued hyper-assertively that a member of an unusual and basically unpopular Christian sect deserved to be considered for President without any questions put to his faith. Now they are nuancing distinctions between Mitt's case and BHO, but the constant is the level of aggressive certitude. Basically, no principle. Whatever works for the moment. If it is A now and not-A later, so be it. Oh, and don't forget that Western Civilization will collapse if you don't buy their argument. |
|
|
that the radical element within your party, and that would qualify as most, do believe that Western Civilization is the problem, this may not be you, but this black liberation theology, certainly, subscribes to it, as do most feminists, thats why this fight between the feminists and the blacks, is so very deliciously, ironic, but, LL, ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK.....2 to go.....it's inevitable...... |

you don't have a honest bone in your lily white feminist liberal body, brobby-briggsy, only thing you need to get, is intelligence, Hussein sees you just like he sees granny, you're the "blue eyed devil", your the enemy, honey, so get of this high horse of yours, feigning disgust over race relations, like your down for the struggle, or something, your a joke, Hussein, Wright, Farrakhan, Abu Mazook, ain't buyin' it, and neither are we "cons", you lily white feminist liberal.......

So, you're saying you are guilty of the same thing of which you accuse Obama?
For me, there's no "irony". I denounce Rev. Wright and say, right now, I don't want him in my party. I just don't impute Wright's views to Obama.
Likewise, I don't impute 86 and Armigenerous' views to you, Neo and Clarity. I haven't found evidence you are racists. But you refuse to denounce the racists in your midst.
I ask again- do you guys want people who find nothing wrong in calling Obama a "chocolate hero" and his wife a "negress" in your party? Do you agree with them that in 2008 America, these are not racially demeaning terms? |

When liberals cannot intellecutally, honestly argue the facts, they start, name calling i.e. Jamesb.
The 527 ads need not even have John McCains approval message!
I live in Ohio, every one is pouring gas in their large SUV's, shopping, living a normal life, even those democrats who are used to live on democrats hand out.
Democrats higher taxations, regulations are ill of all social malaise and problems.
At 75, as a young bride and in love with JFK, having quite a soft spot and sympathy for the African in the States, I tried very hard, while my Amercian husband wisely kept his mouth shut, I learned the hard way, No matter, how I tried, the majority of blacks have been brained washed and do not like, or care about the whites. It is not the whites but the Blacks who put the wall up, and it is always up to us to try hard to prove ourselves.

Oh, Mr. Laborlawyer, it's so painfully ironic that you would even ask us that.
After all, you've done nothing but defend Reverend Wrong for his statements, and you've defended Obama for continuing to have a close relationship with the Reverend d-e-s-p-i-t-e the fact that Obama knew about that stuff over 2 decades.
I would ask you if that's the kind of stuff you want in your party, but I already know the answer to that---and it is "yes."

if you are a lawyer, then you are familiar with 'crimes of specific intent.' Racism is very much a crime of specific intent. Negress is merely the feminization of Negroe, which causes liberals to shudder.
AND, asking a black person if that specific word offends is a loaded way of going about it. While the 'N' word, when used by a non black is universally offensive, normal blacks, unindoctrinated in the ways of the crypto-socialist, professional victim, academic left, might describe negroe as antiquated but inoffensive. Indeed, MLK referred in official correspondence to negroes and the plight of the negroe.
AND, there are some blacks who will stomp around in high dudgeon if you call them anything other than African America. Most people are almost as sick of this as they are of white, effete liberals instructing other people how to think, how to feel and how to talk.
When you label another poster here a 'racist' or a 'bigot' based upon the use of the term "negress" you are dismissing him/her out of hand.
Please consider this one of my rare invitations to STFU. :-) |

Sorry, bub. The idea that your side owns the creative idea market is a conceit you'll have to abandon. Was a time, a quarter century ago. No longer. Ideas which convert into strategic failure, economic deterioration, moral erosion, fiscal mismanagement, widespread corruption, and general misgovernance, are not exactly the best products of human creativity.
Nor is it "Bush or the UN". That's a false choice. Boomer conservatism has failed to advance both America's interests and the interests of broader humanity. In fact, I would argue that these false dichotomies, however politically effective, are the primary reason why conservative thought has become so uncalibrated and unhinged. So it is back to the drawing board with you. Enjoy your time in the wilderness.. |

The NAACP was founded a hundred years ago. It was a term of the era--an era where the number one "civil rights issue" was whether or not lynching was okay.
As for the brothers using the "n" word, it is a way to expropriate an ugly term and drain it of its meaning.
I'm as racist as the next fellow, but I can see these things. Ethnic minorities can be racist, and often are--more racist than whites, it seems. But the worst kind of racist are jack-asses who claim they are not racist. Or the ones who sputter at the 'pretensions' of those of us who recognize there is a problem. Or who cite outliers like Clarence Thomas (didn't Condi deliver a comment on racism last week?) as proof that the problem is not them. Enough, already. Better to be an honest racist than a phony non-racist.. |
|
I'm calling you out as well, Amerigenerous, you're a racist too. If you really think the term "negress" is not demeaning towards black women, ask the first ten random black women you meet wht they think. And btw, hiding racism behind religion is disgraceful.
OHM, Neo, Clarity, are these the kind of people you want in your party? And you guys say Kos is bad. |

Also, his Ted Kennedy jig was repulsive. Three of those brothers gave their lives for this country. 86 is a piece of garbage. |

I don't know how I missed this, but McCain's ad's final line: "John McCain: The American president Americans have been waiting for." It appears to be an allusion to Michell Obama's much-quoted line that "we are the ones we have been waiting for."
That has to hurt.
Michelle Obama anti-American has also expressed sentiments like, "life in America is not good, we're a country that is just down right mean . . . We're a country that is guided by fear, We're a nation of cynics, sloths and complacents." These all put her in the same hymnal as Rev. Wright.
Yup, words do count.

JamesB,
Yes I have bought groceries and gas. No problem. I expect everyone to make a profit. I've never asked for a hand out. I'm doing quite well.
In fact the home I purchased 15 years ago for $100,000. is now valued at $1,000,000. I still have a few years before retirement and I'm sure it will be a very comfortable life. God Bless America and all the Republicans. |

In other words, DUDlee is bankrupt. Not even elligble for membership in babakazama's church. |

Liberal Pat, the first ad of general campaign launched by McCain shows what you can expect from the McCain campaign. It makes a devastating comparison without mention of Obama at whom it is targeted:
JOHN MCCAIN: Keep that faith. Keep your courage. Stick together. Stay strong. Do not yield. Stand up. We're Americans. And we'll never surrender.
ANNCR: What must a president believe about us? About America?
That she is worth protecting?
That liberty is priceless?
Our people, honorable?
Our future, prosperous, remarkable and free?
And, what must we believe about that president?
What does he think?
Where has he been?
Has he walked the walk?
NVA INTERVIEWER: What is your rank?
JOHN MCCAIN: Lt. Commander in the Navy.
INTERVIEWER: And your official number?
JOHN MCCAIN: 624787
ANNCR: John McCain
The American president Americans have been waiting for.

Rich, I cannot cut McCain a break on the gitmo issue. Yes, he was tortured, and that he came through it and had the career that he has had is honorable and remarkable. However, what John McCain feels about torture should not cancel out a valuable intelligence resource. I do not accept the premise that the men in gitmo are tortured. They may undergo harsh interrogation but that is not the same thing. Ever rush for a frat? Some of what they call torture makes me laugh when I think of what used to go on back in the 80's and 90's. If harsh interrogation leads to solid intel (and it has) it is something we should continue doing, regardless of what John Mccain's personal history is. The fact that he is willing to toss away something valuable in the name of vanity (America is better than that) does not speak well of his judgment in foreign affairs. Protecting ourselves and procuring good intel should be our top priority. Leave the image construction to the state department. |

Man, shocked am I at the level of resentment by the Libs here. Palpable. I...I...I think I FEEL their Pain...Naw...Just Gas! |

Call it suicide if you will. I call it a choice I'm prepared to live with. A vote for McCain is a signal to the GOP that you will reward politicians who don't represent you; they lie their way into office and screw you raw, then tell you to vote for them again. There is no accountability for failure to represent the values they claimed to stand for. You're sending a very bad message to the next generation of young politicians.
Any bad legislation that McCain decides to inflict on us will be supported by Democrats (whom he has more in common with) and Republicans who will go along with the Republican President. That means global warming BS legislation, amnesty, ect.
Not voting for McCain, letting one of the other libs win, you'll get the same legislation, but you just taught the GOP that they are accountable to the voters who they pump for money. And you'll have the Republicans in the house voting in opposition to stupid ideas like amnesty and global warming, instead of for them. That's my policy calculus; agree or disagree, I don't really care. I'm just one guy following my own code.
How do you reconcile voting for someone who barely a year ago was the ringleader of one of the filthiest attempted back room screw jobs of the American public? Just think about how McCain tried to sneak it by; secret deals with La Raza, Ted Kennedy; no hearings...is that what you want for a President? Did you ever ask yourself why Juan Hernandez is attached to McCain's campaign, and not one of the Democrats? Best of luck to you working for McCain, but I think you'll regret your vote more than I will mine. |

DUDlee, crapping in your easter basket feels superb, baby. |

stage left.
So, you heard it here first. There is no 2nd coming of Camelot for babakazama. He is well on his way to joining Gary Hart, Michael Dukakis, Albert Arnold Gore and John Kerry in the junkyard of has been, dipstick dimocrats.
"Hope & Change" has been aborted...snagged with a rusted coat-hanger, in the back room of the dimocrat party. Even now, super duper dimocrat delegates will NOT commit to babakazama. Why is that? Jeremiah Wright/Tony Rezko/Ayers and maybe even some choice footage (Carville has been hinting) of babakazma cavorting with Farrakhan.
Hope is a liar.
Change is a fraud.
Hope & Change turned out to be a 'clean & articulate' version of Jesse 'anit-y-daddy' Jackson and Al 'tawana-yo-mam' Sharptoon.
So much for "To Sir with Loooooove."

And, what will be the result? Will Black America then close ranks arounf Hillary and carry her to the Whitehouse? Having had their fair-haired boy robbed of his moment of glory, his moment in the sun? Oh No! Oh Noooooo!!!!

"Little Big Man" you're right great movie. I don't think I called anyone names. I was just pointing out the obvious. I get very frustrated with wimpy republicans. The liberals usually win arguments because they scream the loudest and republicans cower in the corner. Oh please don't call me names like racist, bigot or homophobic.
I can be just as confrontational as any democrat. I refuse to cower.
And yes I will be voting for McCain. He also was not my first choice. But I can trust him on foreign policy and keeping America safe. If you guys have time go to his website and watch the video of his life. He is an exceptional American. |
|
|
Now you're trying to explain yourself, bigot. Now you don't..seem so proud. |
|
May wish to reconsider going after the folks here they are calling racist or bigots.
There are rednecks aplenty in the dimocrat party, notably Bill Clinton and James Carville. If you want to bolster babakazama, you had best do something about those guys before you come over to get your a55 whipped.
My fellow conservatives should hear me out when I say that Jeremiah Wright was 100% correct in one thing he said. Wright said of Bill Clinton "...he rode us dirty..."
THAT is correct. Smarmy, smug, effete white liberals alligned themselves with the closeted Klansmen in the dimocrat party in the interest of political power. Indeed, both factions have enjoyed the unstinting support of Black Americans, wholly without merrit.
To heist a phrase from a dung-dipped dimocrat named Gloria Stein'em, "Black America needs dimocrats like frogs need bicycles."
Having Bill Clinton in your political party is like having Hannibal Lector as a bunky---sooner or later, you WILL be consumed. |

Good for you S/A86. I also intend to work for McCain. austinnelly;'s kamikaze approach is, well suicidal.
Being conservative should not be a suicide pact. |
|
I am something of a skeptic about Anthropomorphic Global Warning, but I do believe we must become energy self sufficient for Natural Security reasons. I thin McCain's Common Sense Approach to stewardship for the earth and her resources is the best approach:
"As John McCain said, 'Americans solve problems. We don't run from them.' He believes that ignoring the problem reflects a 'liberal live for today' attitude unworthy of our great country, and poses a serious and unacceptable threat to our environment, our economy, and U.S. national security. He has offered common sense approaches to limit carbon emissions by harnessing market forces that will bring advanced technologies, such as nuclear energy, to the market faster, reduce our dependence on foreign supplies of energy, and see to it that America leads in a way that ensures all nations do their rightful share.
By addressing this problem responsibly, John McCain believes we can meet our obligation to be proper caretakers of creation, in a manner of which we can be proud - by protecting our country, strengthening our economy, and addressing the challenges of our time, rather than leaving a much worse problem for our children. "
With that said, I will be a do deal more comfortable with McCain calling the shots than the spendthrift approach Obama and Hillary will take. Hillary and Obama will turn the check book over to environmental hacks. McCain is death on pork barrel spending of any kind.
|
|
even with the warts McCain wears, he is a far sight better than Hillary Rod'em and babakazama.
So, I am not for making fairly good he enemy of perfect. McCain will get my vote. |

austinnelly writes: "at least he's a veteran. That makes up for the rest of it."
I guess you are not going to cut hims some slack even though he was on the receiving end of torture. He has a right to a different perspective on that one I think. |
|
Rich from CA, I'm assuming you mean McCain is going to court Democrats with his record of screwing the GOP in order to show them he has nothing in common with the right wing. The only part of his record that the GOP is actually citing is his veteran status. Everything else pretty much makes him look like a giant backstabbing a***ole.
The Shamnesty bill, back room dealings with La Raza and all, doesn't say much for his character. Neither does his McCain-Feingold bill. His fixation on a new Kyoto treating and 'doing something' about Global Warming doesn't give him many points in the economics department either. Unless you're a center right democrat, there is not much reason to vote for McCain. So, what else in his record makes him so much better? Ah, he's 'good on the war'. Yes, no more interrogations and shutting down gitmo. But hey, at least he's a veteran. That makes up for the rest of it. |

lula may you said you as Native American. I have spent a few years among the Navajo. Wasn't that the one with Candice Bergen? Pretty sad excuse for a movie as I recall. I personalty think "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman and Chief Dan George was really good. Did you see it? Good flick!
But I digress

Liberal Pat opts for an ad hominem: McCain is "a doddering old gentleman to be your President."
McCain has courage, character and credentials as a person who gets real things done. He does not have to exaggerate his courage or his accomplishments.
Not to worry, McCain does not suffer fools or sycophants gladly.
Now my first choice, but a far better choice that Hillary or Obama. |
|
lula may said: "you're a fool if you think the republicans will win this playing nice. "
I didn't say we can't play hardball, but the name calling has got to go. Leave the name calling and ad hominem to the Nut roots and Kos Kids. Let's stick with the contrasts. McCain looks really good beside the two Dems who are throwing mud at each others lack of experience and willingness to exaggerate.
McCain is the real deal. He has courage, character and credentials as a person who gets real things done. |

You know I've been watching this group of elite liberals for years now in Chicago. Evanston Illinois is a good example. They price the undesirables out of their neighborhoods. Yes even the most liberal town in the Midwest are hypocrites. The black folk are on the other side of the tracks. No busing there.
They just declared themselves a sanctuary city. That's a joke. They only did that so their housekeepers and nanny's don't get deported. The busiest store in Evanston is Sam's club. I thought they hated Walmarts ? |
|
is actually a high complement.
A hint to DUDlee: calling everyone bigoted and/or racist all the time cause the words to lose their power. And you should also know that your annointeed leader, babakazama, has denounced phony claims of racism, DUDlee. So again, you are a sympering chimp, who will be whining all the way to November.

the Libs here, Missy!! Damn, YOU go, Girl!! |

JamesB,
Oh please you are so transparent. When I refer to a group of people I'm referring to the likes of Reverend Wright, the Jacksons, Sharpton, Farrakhan and their followers. People who will never move on. Way too self absorbed.
Rich from Ventura Co - you're a fool if you think the republicans will win this playing nice. The article is about Obama's lies. Not saying nice things about McCain. This is not choir practice. |
|
Boy, the Libs here seem awful Down today. I think that under the huffing & puffing, some mathmatics of reality is settling in. :-)
I, for one, am NOT feeling any of their pain! |

Actually, S/A86, Lula May said she was native American. You, on the otherhand, are a typical white bigot. But make sure your vote for McBush counts; he's practically a liberal, anyway. |

"One reason why your moral credibility is close to zilch with the American public these days."
Nonsense.
The fact that the Republicans have fallen short doesn't change the fact that conservatives own the creative idea market.
It's bubbling with solutions to problems that have existed for decades. You have yet to tell me what beyond the 1960's the Democrats have proposed that doesn't feed into a bloated, bureaucratic system or entrenched special interest (Teachers Unions for example)in order to achieve a desired result.
That fact that the Republican Party has fallen short (in a big way) doesn't mean we are going to give up in trying to incrementally pushing the conservative agenda. The Pubbie party is the only vehicle we have - we have to vote for the party we have..and try to change it.
BTW, I for one am comfortable hangin' with the Neo-Cons who have set in motion historical events that may, just may, help push individual liberty forward in Iraq and thus elsewhere.
Moral credibility? You can have the UN, I'll take Bush.

like me, a Typical White Person...and nearly anything we say on matters of race can be endlessly construed as racism, so why bother?

I'm not surprised to hear that retort. It has been obvious for a long time that the Reep standard is the perceived lack of standards of their opponents. In other words, Republicans answer to no standard at all. Any evil is justified by the far greater evil they are supposedly fighting.
One reason why your moral credibility is close to zilch with the American public these days. |

"Sure, if you want a doddering old gentleman to be your President, to be surrounded by the McSame ilk who have misgoverned this country for a generation.."
Well we've got our doddering old geezer, and you've got a hip metrosexual dude proposing the same doddering old agenda from the late 60's and early 70's.
Seriously. when are the Democrats actually going to come up with solutions that don't feed and bloat the status quo? |

"We can expect a dishonest but effective campaign from the Reeps this year."
Not quite as dishonest as the James Byrd ad claiming Bush lynched a black man, but effective none the less. |
|
|
I hope the Republicans do as you say. If we have a clean campaign and McCain wins, he'll have the support of guys like me. But if the campaign is like many here want to run, I'll be sick to my stomach and call for blocking him at every turn. |
|
Go ahead, keep talking to yourselves. In the meantime, Obama has moved back into a statistical dead heat with McCain, yes even in the Rasmussen tracking poll which had McCain 10 points ahead of him only a few days ago.
It is revealing to watch some of you rub your hands with glee over the prospect of dishonest 527 ads. I have no doubt we will see plenty of them. Maybe they will work again, maybe this will be the year America finally gets sick of them. Too early to say. |
|
|
Lula if you are a Republican and not a spoofer try some words supporting McCain rather than going negative. A straight up comparison between Hillary and Obama on the one hand and McCain on the other is going to be more effective than name calling. |
|
|
|
Liberal Pat: " We can expect a dishonest but effective campaign from the Reeps this year."
That is not the campaign John McCain wants or needs to run. he can run on his record and his character. the comparison will be sufficient to carry the day. |
|
Hillary and Obama's are wantabe's so they embellish and exaggerate.
For McCain "if you did you ain't bragging" works. He is the real deal. A war hero who really did dodge bullets and chose to staying a really bad neighborhood in the Hanoi Hilton when the NVA wanted to release him to gain bargaining points. McCain is a uniter taking flack form the right and the left to actually pass legislation with his name on it.
McCain was not my first choice because of the stands he took and stood by with determination. His is now my choice because he stood for something. if he says it he will doing. |

Patriotic Liberal,
Dishonest. What are you talking about ? You don't actually believe there is an honest bone in Baraks body ? Please. It was his pastor and his cheering congregation that made these statements. Standing up and cheering. I have never seen anything so disgusting.
Oh wait yes I have.
I am native American. Back in 71 there was a movie called Soldier Blue. I watched this movie in a theater in downtown Chicago. At that time most of the theaters downtown were 90% black audience's. The story was about the plight of the Native Americans. There was a scene where the white army was taking revenge on a native village. Babies and children were killed, women raped, a bloody gruesome massacre.
Everyone in the theater stood up and cheered. Men were yelling rape that one.
There was no sympathy for the natives. Now this was back in 71. Since then blacks have learned to use the Native Americans to further their own hate. What I have seen is a very self centered group of people who have no compassion for any other group of people. They will never move beyond themselves. |

No, President Kennedy wouldn't believe his eyes, nor would President Truman. The very first thing Jack Kennedy would do is kick the living'chit outta baby brudda.
IF Carville said what's reported here about "100", then that was a shot over Bazama's bow of more pain on the way. Hey, AGAIN, I caution stepping back and letting them devour themselves. Just toss a dash of pepper in their stew now & then.
AND, never, never, everrrrrrr ASSume they'll keep their crosshairs of Juan McCain for much longer. Any little fireball he can lob their way is good because it keeps'um dividing their attention and off-balance. |

Yikes. When either the Obaminable Barrack or Hilliray the Castrator open those holes under their noses, my hand grabs reflexively for my wallet anymore. Honorable people never need to brag anything about themselves or their accomphishments as those are already known facts. These two lying sacks may finally drive this sorry excuse for a political party into the mountain it's been aimed at for the past 25 years. JFK wouldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes. |

Senator Obama's Chicago Law School CV can be found at brokengovernment.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/barack-obama-is-he-the-one/
(just cut and paste the url) It was taken from the Chicago Law School web site prior to their removing it from view. It clearly states that he was a Senior Lecturer.

A bit more than a month ago, I remember reading all too may posts on this forum about how Obama was going to mop the floor with McCain.
I stated at the time that Barack Obama had a cocked gun at his head but he was too arrogant to realize it. Now, in the wake of Jeremiah Wright and a few other precious tidbits, Republicans are beginning to understand just how EASY its going to beat Obama.
James Carville said something this morning on CNN that I thought was astonishing. When asked about Wright and Obama's electability, Carville said, "This is just one thing of about 100."
100?
Folks, we have only just begun to touch the surface about Barack Obama's unique disqualifications for the presidency - from requested earmarks for the hospital his wife works as an over-paided executive, to his associations with Farrahkan, to Louis Ayers.
And, of course, when the public learns Obama has sided with his radical Muslim cousin in Kenya who has requested the government adopt shariah, it will not only devastate Obama but Democrats in congressional races as well.

Firing on ALL cylinders.
babakazama has been fatally wounded. Should he survive the dimocrat Denver Death March, he will get both barrels from the 527s.
Even if McCain doesn't have the heart to hand a drowning man an anvil, Club for Growth does, Swiftboat Vets do a bunch do.

Inspector Clouseau would ask for facts from Obama. I want to see the RNC blast Obama on his issues, stands, agendas. And do it now. 1. His socialist economic views; regulations, govt. hikes in taxes et al. 2. His complete lack of understanding of immigration. 3. His complete lack of understanding of Islamofascism and our national security. Then ask him about where he wants our education system to be like. Then grill him on how his govt. health care is any different from the Hildabeast's. Facts Hercule, facts. |
