Hallelujah!!

Good news, All Ye Faithful! The Obama Camp has designed religious paraphernalia on which you can spend your hard-earned dollars! Now you can show your adoration for your faith and for Obama all at the same time! Oh, wait - was that redundant?? At God-O-Meter, the new items available were revealed. Oh, yes.

Up first, we have this lovely button:

For the family that prays for Obama, stays together, or something like that. Well, if what the NY Post had about Obama potentially violating the Logan Act* by attempting to delay troop withdrawal from Iraq to suit HIS political purposes is true, risking lives as a result, he’s gonna need a lot of those prayers. See, it’s illegal - some might even say TREASONOUS - for a civilian to work against a presidential administration in a foreign country. Oopsy daisy!!

Then there is this nice little bumper sticker for all you Catholics out there! You can put this right next to the sticker for your parochial school!

Oh, great! Now I know what to get my good friend, Divine Democrat! Ahem.

And finally, last but not least, there is this:

All hail, the Obama Faithful!! Oh, wait - am I misreading that? Nope, I don’t think I am. That may not be exactly what they WANTED to convey, at least consciously, but that’s about what they seem to expect from their followers - complete and utter devotion. Praise Obama - he has come to liberate us from our pesky morals, our integrity, our sense of decency and fair play! That must be the “Change” Obama promised to bring us!! Hallelujah!!

And just in case you think I am making this up, here is the letter from the Obama Camp:

Dear friends,
Great news! We now have faith merchandise available for you to show your support for Barack Obama as a person of faith.

Check out the Believers for Barack, Pro-Family Pro-Obama, and Catholics for Obama buttons, bumper stickers and signs….

Believers for Barack rally signs and bumper stickers, along with all Pro-Family Pro-Obama merchandise, are appropriate for people of all faith backgrounds. We’ll soon be rolling out merchandise for other religious groups and denominations, but I wanted to get this out to you without delay.

Take good care,

Paul Monteiro
Deputy Director of Religous (sic) Affairs
Obama for America

Oh, YAY! And God-O-Meter said there will be more to come, like “Clergy for Change.” Oh, I cannot WAIT to get one of those! Actually, yes, yes I can. Many of you will like THIS one: “Pro-Israel Pro-Obama.” I wonder how HAMAS and The Nation of Islam will feel about that one…I guess Obama can ask his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, about that.

Now some of you heathens out there might be just a bit sceptical about Obama’s reaching out to the religious among us. Some of you might just be bitterly clinging to his comments about religious folk bitterly clinging to their guns and religion. Oh, ye of little faith!! He cares about you, he really does. Didn’t you see the BUTTON?? Or the STICKER?? C’mon! Don’t play hard to get! Obama loves you, this I know! For his minions have bludgeoned me with that claim for weeks now! I mean - because he shows us in so many ways: FISA, public campaign funds, off-shore drilling, NAFTA, gun control…Oh, I could go on and on with all the ways Obama’s Words have touched our lives. Praise the One who can stop the waters rising, and slow their very movement! Now the Faithful may proudly display the object of their veneration right on their cars and their lapels! Will wonders never cease?!

But wait! There is one more left to see. This courtesy of my talented partner who wanted to make sure we were all represented. Here it is:

Step right up! Order yours today!!

* Text of the Logan Act: Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Why Does John McCain Hate America So Much?
by Paul Slansky

The contempt John McCain has shown for the people of this country by plucking the wildly unqualified Sarah Palin to sit a cancer-prone heartbeat from the presidency leaves only one conclusion. John McCain hates America.

Eight presidents — or nineteen percent of them —have died in office. This comes out to roughly one in five, and we’ve had eight in a row who survived, so we’re overdue. Add to that the actuarial tables and the early deaths of McCain’s father and grandfather (he’s already outlived them both) and it’s clear that President Palin is far from a remote possibility.

And yet, the true significance and consequences of this grim prospect seem to be off limits for public dialogue. Our not-just-useless-but-actually-complicit mainstream media would rather spend a day repeating the mantra “lipstick on a pig” than urging the public to really contemplate what it would mean if this vindictive, intolerant woman — with her five-colleges-in-six-years education — were to become the most powerful human on the planet. It’s like it’s unfair to mention the inconvenient truth that Sarah Palin is an authoritarian religious zealot totally unsuited for the position John McCain has recklessly named her to — a truth so obvious that anyone with eyes and ears who’s not blinded or deafened by ideology can see and hear it.

But forget about the media. It’s up to our representatives to protect us from this harsh fate. Let’s not kid ourselves — there isn’t one respected member of Congress, in either party, who doesn’t know how grotesque this situation is. But, because of the nation’s bitter partisan divide, it’s the Republicans who have to speak up.

Hey, Thad Cochran. You said, “The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine.” Does the thought of Palin being president warm you up any? Hey, Liddy Dole. What does Bob say about this? Hey, John Warner and Pete Domenici. You’re leaving office, what have you got to lose by speaking out? Hey, Dick Lugar. Hey, Arlen Specter and Kay Bailey Hutchison. Hey, Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell and Olympia Snowe. Hey, Lamar Alexander and Kit Bond and Robert Bennett and Orrin Hatch. Hey, Richard Shelby and Judd Gregg and George Voinovich and Pat Roberts and Susan Collins. Hey, Chuck Hagel!

Hey, all of you. Don’t just whisper amongst yourselves how insane this is. Share it with the class. Your silence can only be interpreted as support for this lunacy. Most of you can’t stand the guy anyway. Say something! Yes, a Republican revolt would cost McCain the election, but after this insulting move, doesn’t he deserve to lose? Hasn’t he disqualified himself from the presidency with his mavericky first decision?

The country has just endured the worst leadership in modern history, and no lessons have been learned. Despite what we have witnessed over the past eight years, tens of millions of people are willing to instantly repeat the same mistake and elect another sadistic ignoramus to national office because she’s able to hide these qualities behind the deceptive dazzle of charisma. This cannot be allowed to happen.

That John McCain is a shameless panderer who’ll do anything to get elected president has become increasingly obvious over the eight years he’s spent reversing every principled position he’d ever taken. That John McCain has renounced every shred of honor that ever attached to him is clear to anyone who bears witness to the parade of scummy lies he calls his advertising campaign — a campaign that no less a bottom feeder than Karl Rove said has gone “one step too far” by “attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent truth test.” That John McCain has cravenly sold his soul for a prize that he doesn’t even seem to want for any reason other than just to have it is undeniable to anyone who looks into his now-dead eyes. He’s a walking corpse.

John McCain likes to wrap himself in the flag and call himself a patriot, but foisting this dangerously inappropriate successor-in-waiting on the nation puts him at the opposite end of that spectrum. By disregarding the kind of risk his country will be at if this know-nothing reactionary ascends to the presidency, he reveals himself not as a patriot, but rather as a traitor. If John McCain dies in office, he should be posthumously tried for treason.

With this fuck-you to America, John McCain has proven himself to be — and I never thought I’d be able to say this about anyone — as despicable as George W. Bush.

One Question? How is it possible to type with your head up your ass?

Comment by beebop | 2008-09-16 10:04:39

Not just that, cut and paste and hang out at a website where we all know that this is just so much crap that we all ride right by it with their head up their butt. This loser belongs over at the ABC website where they feature “browbeaters for barry.”

I believe Sindy had forgotten Michelle O’Angry saying that barky can get shot pumping gas at the gas station during a tv interview.

The left is pretty confident that McCain will not live 4 more years while his mother will out live us all.

I guess you got paid yesterday by the Jesus for Obama campaign.

Sorry, but the Hitler Youth movement won’t come out in November.

Here’s one for you:
Jonah Goldberg
September 16, 2008
» Discuss Article After running a brilliant and historic primary battle to defeat Hillary Clinton, the Obama campaign is now in disarray. Why?

Perhaps it’s because Barack Obama has never run a competitive race against a Republican. After all, Obama won his U.S. Senate seat in Illinois by running against Alan Keyes, a fire-and-brimstone, right-wing black carpetbagger from Maryland (or perhaps Mars) who had no real ties to Illinois.

Now, facing John McCain’s blistering ads, Obama seems unable to fight fire with fire. The Democratic rank and file are furious (while simultaneously denouncing McCain’s negativity).

Obama, they may be realizing, doesn’t know how to close the deal.

Nonetheless, the Obama campaign has vowed, once again, to take the gloves off and go after McCain hard, linking him to President Bush and highlighting the fact that the Arizona senator is out of touch.

One flaw with this supposed course correction is that it isn’t one. McCain-Bush-Economy has been Obama’s message for months now. Indeed, ABC News’ Jake Tapper wrote on his blog that this is actually the fourth time Team Obama has pledged to engage in a bracing round of fisticuffs.

To prove his newfound determination to go bare knuckle against McCain, Obama unveiled a new TV ad, to air in key states.

It begins with the date “1982,” a picture of a disco ball and footage of McCain in clunky glasses from his first year in Washington. “Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t,” explains the announcer. “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class.” All the while it shows ancient computers and a cordless phone that looks like a World War II-era walkie-talkie.

The tax-cuts and economy barbs are familiar boilerplate. What’s new is the charge of computer illiteracy and the blatant attempt to attack McCain as too old for the job — and that speaks volumes.

First, the ad is dishonest. McCain has been one of the Senate’s leading authorities on telecom and the Internet.

In 2000, Forbes magazine called him the “Senate’s savviest technologist.” That same year, Slate’s Jacob Weisberg gushed that McCain was the most “cybersavvy” of all the presidential candidates that year, a crop that included none other than Al Gore. Being chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, Weisberg explained, “forced him to learn about the Internet early on, and young Web entrepreneurs such as Jerry Yang and Jeff Bezos fascinate him.”

Weisberg, an Obama booster, now disingenuously mocks McCain as “flummoxed by that newfangled doodad, the personal computer.”

One reason McCain is not versed in the mechanical details of sending e-mail and typing on a keyboard is that the North Vietnamese broke his fingers and shattered both of his arms. As Forbes, Slate and the Boston Globe reported in 2000, McCain’s injuries make using a keyboard painfully laborious. He mostly relies on his wife and staff to show him e-mails and websites, though he says he’s getting up to speed.

“It’s extraordinary,” Obama spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said, “that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn’t know how to send an e-mail.” For the record, President Clinton sent exactly two e-mails while in office, according to the archives in his presidential library.

Besides, by this logic, Obama is even less qualified to be commander in chief because, unlike McCain, Obama has never fired a gun, flown a plane or led men during wartime.

And if the Obama campaign did not intend to mock a disabled veteran, what does it say about his supposedly “cybersavvy” campaign that they don’t know how to conduct a five-minute Google search to find out these things?

But the most revealing aspect of the ad is who it speaks to. According to Gallup, Obama has a 20- to 30-point advantage over McCain among 18- to 29-year-olds. Indeed, his base (not counting African American voters) is upscale college kids and new-economy young voters. These are the voters most likely to think being able to send an e-mail is, like, totally crucial.

The only other constituency — other than the press — that will be jazzed by such an attack are the Web-symbiotes of the left-wing netroots, another demographic Obama has locked up.

Older Americans, working-class Americans, veterans and other voters Obama desperately needs probably won’t care and might even take offense at Obama’s condescension.

There are two explanations for the ad. One is that Obama released it to reassure his base that he’s serious about attacking McCain, not to win over swing voters. That, or the campaign actually thinks it’s an effective ad.

Either way, the lesson is the same: Obama doesn’t know how to get outside his echo chamber. He talks about being bipartisan to hard-core liberals who like the words, but he hates actual deviation from the liberal line. He talks about new ideas, but he merely repackages old ones.

He is a candidate who has never had to sell himself to voters who weren’t already sold. And it shows.

Let’s assume, just for argument sake, that Sara Palin is grossly unqualified to be President. Let us further assume that John McCain choosing her shows the war hero’s “hatred for America” and is an act of “treason” (Richard Cohen made this charge today).

If choosing Sarah Palin as VP show “hatred for America” and is an “act of treaon”, how much more is the DNC, every super-delegate who voted for Obama, every elected offical who supported him and every columinst who is trying to get him elected guilty of “hatred of America” and “treason”?

Obama, at best, has more or less equivalent experience as Palin. He has represented larger constituencies, as a legislator, but has no executive experience at all. You can hide in a legislative body, but a Governor and even a small town mayor, has got to make tough decisions, there is no “present” button to push in the Governor’s office.

Either Obama and Palin are both well qualified to be POTUS, marignally qualified, or unqualified.

Assuming for a moment, they are both unqualified, at least Palin would have time to become more qualified. VP lends itself very well to “on the job training”, as long as the President does not drop dead in the first few months of his term.

If Obama is elected, (and we assume he and Palin are both unqualified) we will be guaranteed an unqualified President on Day 1.

Also, besides having at least equal experience to Obama, Governor Palin has demonstrated much more of the mental and emotional makeup needed to be President.

Obama, hesitates, waffles, stammter and stutters, and almost always votes with his party, except when he goes to the LEFT of the Democratic mainstream to oppose basic human rights for babies.

Palin is strong, decisive and has gone against her party numerous times at considerable political risk, and has always come out on top.

Sarah Palin is a natural leader of men (and women). Barack Obama is a natural college professor.

Obama is better then Palin, You must be kidding. A mass of people like :ED SHULTZ from Radio Progressive, ans a big supporter of Move ON, went to Alaska with dozens of Obama fallowers, like spies, and were digging against Palin, how dirty ED Shultz is, and His mafia.
They trash Palin, thet lied, and now attacking Her record. Telling, how many Alaskans hate Palin. WOW, Mr.Shultz, You are the most ignorant and dengerous from all those scavengers, and that is why more and more people are turning against Obama, because people like YOU. You and Your people are pushed US away and away.
You look at Obamas record, ande there is nothing to be proud about, and we still dont know all about HIM, but we know enough about Paline, She is a Governor of most important State in USA, and this is enough!!!!

You are aware, right, that McCain’s mom is in her 90s and still kicking? McCain is probably genetically pre-disposed to live another 20 years.

And anyway, what about Biden as a veep pick? Obama chose a guy who seems like he’s drunk half the time. Should Obama get elected (doubt it!), and something tragic happen, he’ll have left a guy who slurs his words in charge of the red button.

Even Obamabots know that Obama should’ve tapped Hillary Clinton for veep in order to win the election. I personally believe that the backlash against Sarah Palin has a lot to do with that.

Good let them do it their way….. give em enough rope and they will hang themselves…

That’s is what happening when you’re doing on job training you make mistakes need to grow and listen sometimes from folks with experience?

Oh they listened : LOL

Barry O is an affirmative action wonk from Harvard Law School who went to a church for 20 years that preached a “black power”, “destroy the white devils” message. If Barry O gets in he will be the President! He will be the most powerful person in the world! You idiots swinging at Sarah Palin are going to strike out big time! Sarah Palin we can identify with!

(Try to concentrate and get over your infatuation–study his “flip-flops” on all your precious issues all while doing anything to get elected.)

I don’t know. I think I’ll stick to American principles of democracy. It’s terrible when the Republicans rig a general election. It’s twice as bad when my own party rigs a primary and then hopes to rig the general election with his “community organizing” * (ACORN) group of thugs!!

This time I choose to be a one-issue voter. NO Sexism! Nobama!

Comment by tzada | 2008-09-16 13:32:48

ACORN, FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC….OH MY AND OBAMA TOO?

Not only Penny Pritzker Obama’s Finance Chair for the presidential campaign is involved in the current financial meltdown, but let’s introduce James “Jim” Johnson too.

It’s Johnson’s job to vet potential vice presidential candidates for Obama
He joined with diplomat Richard Holbrooke in founding Public Strategies, which gave political advice to business clients. Later, he did similar work with Sherman Lehman in D.C. Holbrooke and Johnson remain together now, as vice chairmen of Perseus, an international merchant bank and private equity fund management company.

In 1990, Johnson went to work for the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and quickly became its $5 million-a-year chairman. His compensation rose to a reported $21 million by his final year, 1998. He also increased his connections — and his access to power — by establishing Fannie Mae foundations that spread around millions of dollars. Homeless shelters, colleges, hospitals all benefited from Fannie Mae Foundation money.
.
Which brings us to the Fannie Mae Foundation. A sweet little set up for handing out cash to a nice little outfit called ACORN among others..

ACORN Housing Corporation-National
Chicago, IL $100,000 approved in 2004
General operating support of an organization that helps families of limited means to secure and protect decent housing by providing housing counseling services, building homes, and educating policy makers in Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; and Brooklyn, NY
OK so ACORN helps people who were barely qualified or totally unqualified get housing. So what would they be doing? Finding landlords who would rent to them? Well no. Landlords want to get paid. Fannie Mae had no such scruples. Ever hear of NINJA mortgages? Funny name, huh? It stand for No Income, No Job, No Assets. Just the kind of reliable folk honest lenders are looking for. People with a credit score of 0.

Help with getting poor people mortgages was only one service ACORN provided. Another was help with elections. Late last month six people hired by ACORN were indicted for their role in filing false voter registration forms involving a 2006 drive to increase Missouri’s minimum wage.
Here is something else interesting I’ll bet you didn’t know about ACORN:
It seems the Obama campaign has rather close ties to ACORN.

ACORN is a former legal client of Senator Obama’s, as the Sun-Times reported in 2006:
In 1995, former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar refused to implement the federal “Motor Voter” law, which Republicans argued could invite fraud and which some Republicans feared could swell the ranks of Democratic voters.

The law mandated people be allowed to register to vote in government offices such as driver’s license renewal centers. Obama sued on behalf of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The League of Women Voters and other public-interest groups joined in.

“He and his client were the ones who filed the original case — they blazed the trail,” said Paul Mollica, who represented the League.
Voter fraud? From a Chicago Machine politician? I’m shocked. Actually I think that.
Chicago Machine needs to be praised. Jesus brought a few people back from the dead. Jesus himself is reported to have come back from the dead. But the Chicago Machine is special. They bring tens of thousands back from the dead. No wonder they hail Obama as The One.

JAFFA, Israel – Did Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign attempt to hide a paid working relationship with a radical leftist organization that has admitted to major financial improprieties and has been convicted in numerous major voter fraud scandals?

That question is being openly asked by the Republican National Committee after it was disclosed Obama’s campaign paid more than $800,000 in services to Citizen Services Inc. (CSI), a nonprofit organization that is an offshoot of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
That Obama. He has such an honest face.

Here is an interesting case of Name That Party.
Milwaukee has discovered some more voter fraud with 10 more voter registration workers are being investigated by Wisconsin authorities. Fittingly, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel covered the story in its paper on August 29. Unfittingly, the Journal Sentinel forgot one, tiny aspect of the story… that the voter fraud was perpetrated by Democrats. In fact, one of the organizations, ACORN, is intimately linked with Barack Obama.

Milwaukee’s top election official said Thursday she plans to seek criminal investigations of 10 more voter registration workers, including two accused of offering gifts to sign up voters.

Why would an honest Party like the Democrats do such a thing? I blame it on a few bad apples. Obama, that proud community organizer, has been duped. No way he could be involved in such shenanigans.
Which politicians did Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae’s Political Action Committees support? 50 out 70 members of the House Financial Services Committee got money for their campaigns.

Sindy please get your own blog set up if you want to copy and paste entire articles of screed from some other writer, ok ?
It sure looks like you way exceeded fair use of this blog with near zero effort on your part, and a DECENT PERSON would copy a paragraph and paste the link.
Of course you’re not a decent person. Now I know.
A person who isn’t lazy would type up their own words, in between a clip and a reference link.
DECENT people, like the ones posting the topic leads.

Comment by kgirl1028 | 2008-09-16 12:34:01

hey every body let’s write one for the dnc and

Why Does the DNC Hate America So Much

The contempt Howard Dean has shown for the people of this country by plucking the wildly unqualified Barak Obama to sit in the oval office during the worst times in our national history, when a six year old could see we need someone with a cool head, competency, and experience. Howard Dean hates America.

Eight presidents — or nineteen percent of them —have died in office. This comes out to roughly one in five, and we’ve had eight in a row who survived, so we’re overdue. so to pass up the much younger and healthier hillary clinton the best choice if not for the mere fact her husband one William Jefferson Clinton, balanced our budget in the 90’s, for a traitorous neophyte, and no foreign policy experience, and bush like arrogance, and hubris, leaving the secondly only choice, the Republican can John McCain, who might be a heart beat way from death, and had the sense to pick one young, hot shot governor from candidate who has balanced Alaska’s budget, and who is a whole lot more qualified for the job, than the democratic nominee who has absolutely NO EXECUTIVE experience to speak us, unless he wants us to consider the time he did gain that experience working with an unrepentant, flag stepping on terrorist. and was too dumb not to attend a church were the pastor Damns america. And whose wife is only proud of her country when it is doing to something to benefit HER. Go fig.?

And yet, the true significance and consequences of this grim prospect seem to be off limits for public dialogue. Our not-just-useless-but-actually-complicit mainstream media would rather not spend a day repeating the crimes that obama has committed and just the fact that he lies on a regular basis and no one can tell what he believes in. However they rather chop up a young Ms Palin interviews so that she looks as ditsy as Obama in his first national debate were he sounded like Porky Pig. e han urging the public to really contemplate what it would mean if this vindictive, intolerant woman — with her five-colleges-in-six-years education — were to become the most powerful human on the planet. It’s like it’s unfair to mention the inconvenient truth that Sarah Palin is an authoritarian religious zealot totally unsuited for the position Nancy Pelosis has recklessly named him to — a truth so obvious that anyone with eyes and ears a person who can’t function without a teleprompter, and does not have the sense not erase the picture of a pig dressed up in Palin’s not stylish frame less eyeglasses and signature necklace. But hey Nancy said he’s freshhhhhhh. Well nancy so is my week old can of pringles can it be nominated for president as well?

But forget about the media. It’s up to our representatives to protect us from this harsh fate. Let’s not kid ourselves — there isn’t one respected member of Congress, in either party, who doesn’t know how grotesque this situation is. But, because of the nation’s bitter partisan divide, it’s the Republicans who have to speak up.

But forget about the media. It’s up to our representatives to protect us from this harsh fate. Let’s not kid ourselves — there isn’t one respected member of Congress, in either party, who doesn’t know how grotesque this situation is. But, because of the nations bitter racial divides, no one wants to be call racist because they call out obama’s stupidity, hubris, and questionable friends/campaign donor.

Hey,Hillary. You said, “The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine.” Does the thought of Palin being president warm you up make up for the bitter realization your own part screwed you. Hey Alice palmer, don’t you want to tell people how obama screwed you royally, Hey Kwami Kilpatrick how does it feel to be endorsed by Obama and then asked not to attend his Coronation. hey Max Cleland how did it feel not to be allowed on obama’s magincal mistery tour, just because your are a lobiest. Hey Senator Joe Liberman, didn’t it really piss you are with the choosen one back into that conner, friendly conversation my booty, or how about you governer palin, how did you like it when bama’s fan club accused you of being racist, and how about how about when they placed Trig on Ebay.
Bill how did you feel with this sick sack of crap twisted your words and labled you as racist. why dont’ you and your old friend Jesse Get together and and practice some racial unity and castrate obama. how about all the chicago politicians who reached across the isle to stop corruption and obama set quietly buy and said nothing and then endorsed more corruption.

The country has just endured the worst leadership in modern history, and no lessons have been learned. Despite what we have witnessed over the past eight years, tens of millions of people are willing to instantly repeat the same mistake and elect another sadistic ignoramus to national office because he’s able to hide these qualities , criminal behavior, and just being a down right jerk ,behind the deceptive dazzle of charisma and the fact that he is black. This cannot be allowed to happen.

That Barak is a shameless and arrogent panderer who’ll do anything to get elected president has become increasingly obvious over the eight years he’s spent reversing every principled position he’d ever taken. That John McCain has renounced every shred of criticality that ever attached to him is clear to anyone who bears witness to the parade of scummy lies he calls his advertising campaign — a campaign that no less a bottom feeder than Karl Rove, Dana Brazille and David axelrod said has gone “one step too far” by “ Big a Racist sexist jerk, that smears his competition instead of focusing on the issues, but then gets agree when he gets called on it. That Barack ObamaObamah’s cravenly sold his soul for a prize that he doesn’t even seem to want for any reason other than just to have it. Anyone tell is an arrogent jerk who picks at McCains old POW entries, covers up his past, uses his campaign to out sarah palin’s 17 year old daughter, and has the hubris to ask the Iraqi’s not to push for a withdrawal date until after the election. He’s a walking disaster waiting to happen

obama like to used the race card as a shield and calls himself someone who does not play racial politic, but constantly tries to say to voters that the Republicans will try to scare them with the fact he is black, and this definitely puts him at the opposite end of that spectrum. By disregarding the kind of risk his country will be at if this know-nothing jerk off, who attended a church were the pastor praised the terrorist, just days after 911, and receives endorsements and funding from members of ho ascends to the presidency, he reveals himself not as a person too clean to engage in a post racial politics, but rather as a questionably bigot, a liar, and a cheat. If John McCain dies in office, He should be lauded as making one of the greatest friends to little girls all across the county, for given them a chance to prove that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up.

With With this fuck-you to America, Donna Brazill, John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, Howard Dean, and other member of the DNC has proven itself to be — and I never thought I’d be able to say this about anyone — as despicable as George W. Bush.

So you say 19% of presidents have died? Well I have two pieces of information for you.

1. People are living much longer now.
2. Some of those died from assassinations…if anyone is going to get assassinated it would probably be Obama. There have already been threats.
