News, education, female superiority, and just about anything else
Not a long clip, but something to think about. I have heard that only about 6 months ago McCain said that there would be a place in his administration for Cheney. What a thought!
With mavericks like this working on our side, who needs the Apocalypse? Perhaps God is punishing Americans with Republican administrations for being stupid enough to vote them into office.
Perhaps you haven’t been following the issue. For years now right-wingers have been trying to find a way to keep potentially democratic (read non-white, lower-income) Americans from voting. They’ve come up with a lot of arguments based on the false premise that there has been a lot of vote fraud by poor people, liberals, etc, voting twice or impersonating dead people. Now part of it is to pull the attention from their own tactics - which we would be denouncing in any third world country as outright election-stealing. Things like uncertified or tampered voting machines, bizarrely unlikely vote counts, voting for Democratic precincts held in tiny locations with insufficient voting machines so that people will leave without voting, things which can credibly be said to have stolen enough votes to have swung Ohio in the last presidential election. All this is in spite of the fact that studies have shown that voter fraud of the sort they are claiming is virtually non-existent, while organized vote fraud led by people like Karl Rove is completely ignored.
“Advancement Project and Project Vote would like to see the Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, issue a directive prohibiting Ohio electors from challenging Ohio voters whose name appear on any returned mailings and/or any past, current or future caging list. This is the best remedy to ensure that all Ohio voters are treated in a uniform manner during the November 2008 election because it permits the county boards to send out information to Ohio voters and at the same time ensures that all voters are permitted to vote without the threat of being placed on a list that is subject to challenge for no other reason than a returned mailing.”
The mainstream media has been working hard to make it appear that McCain is running neck and neck with Obama, to make it seem plausible when the totals unexpectedly turn out to throw it to the McCain?
We’ve heard it so many times from the McCain camp, beginning with the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ad, but certainly not ending with it. The message is not that Obama is a celebrity in the sense of “a famous person”, but in the sense “a person who is famous but has done nothing to earn his fame”.
But this is intended to contrast with McCain, who…what?
McCain is petty, partisan, and vindictive. His handlers limit him to 38 minutes a week with the press to keep him from shooting off his mouth. “Straight talk”? Maverick? How about “loose cannon”?
Do we want somebody for President who hasn’t earned his fame? If you do, McCain’s your guy.
Is it really some kind of virtue to consider even mediocrity in some way elitist? I consider myself a very intelligent person, but I agree with Jon Stewart. I want someone for President who is smarter than me.
The more McCain tries to establish himself as one of the common people and Obama as a member of some “elite”, the further he slips from reality.
Genetics is heritable, no question. But it’s clear that McCain did not inherit any of the leadership qualities of his father or grandfather. In fact, looking at his record - and that of our current President - it becomes clear that if you come from the right family, you can buy your way to the top with money and influence, regardless of how unqualified you are.
I wouldn’t buy a used car from that man. That’s how qualified he is. I might take a cart from him at Walmart, if he wasn’t giving me that creepy “gramps is grinning now” look. But maybe not.
Remember when just a few days ago John McCain came up with a pronouncement that he might ever-so-slightly ease up on his draconian anti-abortion position, but he would never ease up on his anti-gay position. There will be no place in a McCain administration for gays.
That doesn’t seem to have stopped him from accepting $2,300 in donations from the owner of the top gay pickup site. In fact, the donor was forced to step down from the board of Manhunt for his donation. But the McCain campaign is keeping the money, and the media is completely ignoring this story.
The donor is untouchable, but there is no money so dirty that McCain will not gladly accept it. Right.
It looks like the McCain campaign has egg on their faces. They had to pull the ad they put together using a segment of Wayne’s World (”We’re not worthy!”) after Mike Myers demanded they remove it from YouTube for copyright violation.
Seeing as how he’s a Canadian and all, maybe he doesn’t support McCain’s ideas.on.anything.
Maybe they didn’t ask permission because they didn’t think they’d get it, and were hoping they could get away without him finding out.
Can they do nothing right? Guess not. Neither the candidate nor his staff seem to have anything going for them. What would his presidency be like, um, if he didn’t decide to declare war on the entire rest of the world?
Where is the vision? Hmm, maybe they can look it up in Wikipedia…
Yeah, look up “copyright violation” in Wikipedia and copy it out by hand 100 times. Not McCain. Karl Rove.
Of course, it’s because John McCain is now claiming to be a “fiscal conservative”. Inquiring minds not just want but need to know exactly what that means, and Young Turks will explain that for you.
So you see, a “fiscal conservative” is one who will drastically cut taxes while in office, while dramatically increasing spending. A “tax-and-spend liberal” will produce a balanced budget for you.
It looks like fiscal conservatives are the new tax-and-spend liberals. Or is it the other way around?
What about John McCain. What is he? He’s a guy who admits he does not understand economics. Puhlease. Paris Hilton would make a better President.
Well, well, isn’t it a blast from the past!
It’s been a long time since I’ve put any thought into the Savings and Loan Debacle, and I guess I never did know too much about it. Thanks to the Phoenix New Times for reprinting this article originally published on November 29, 1989. Right from his own constituents, see who was a horse’s ass, a liar, and a scoundrel of the worst kind.
The devil has come to collect his due, John. You can no longer either run or hide.
Seriously, like, NOT. No way. Keep that robot away from me. No me mon.
Just when you thought it was safe to get out of the car when passing through South Carolina, a South Carolina state senator has stepped up to the plate, not just willing, but proud to reveal the TRUTH, regardless of what the state’s tourism bureau may be trying to deceive out-of-staters into thinking.
That they’re a bunch of redneck inbred neonazis? Hmm. Maybe he should rewrite the message if it’s not communicating the message that he really wants us to receive.
Click through and read those comments. Unbelievable.
With friends like this, McCain doesn’t need enemies.
