Sexist prick.

“At its best, the Obama candidacy is about ending a war—not so much the war in Iraq, which now has a mo­mentum that will propel the occupation into the next decade—but the war within America that has prevailed since Vietnam and that shows dangerous signs of intensifying, a nonviolent civil war that has crippled America at the very time the world needs it most.

It is a war about war—and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama—and Obama alone—offers the possibility of a truce.” Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic

I understand why McCain would want to seize Obama’s slogan of Change; it is innovative, inspiring, forward thinking, and it works. “McCain is grounding his message of political transformation in the guise of personal character and biography.”

The maverick that John McCain was, is no more – that was history. We need to move forward, to look forward to real change.

The RNC campaign is all about personalities. They have no substance, no foundation, they have nothing to stand for, therefore they can only attack, and distract from the fundamental issues that the American people want to hear addressed.

Palin also is not an agent of change; I quote a commentary referring to her as a “trojan moose hiding a potential disaster of four more years.” Indeed she is the lipstick (distraction) on the pig (McCain’s failed policies). She is McCain’s Bridge to Distraction.

“America, we are better than these last eight years! This election is our chance to revive and relive the American promise that ordinary Americans can pursue and reach their dreams.”


Obama’s campaign has been premised from the start that we need a fundamental change in government. This is what Obama’s campaign is all about. Real change, not just rhetoric.

Focus on Obama”s inspiration and leadership to take us into real change.

Tell me, do you say everything that crosses your mind, no matter how stupid or offensive or humiliating to yourself it is?

Don’t blink!

Tell me, is there anyone you won’t spread your legs for if it will get you something?

Considering that Fox News and Karl Rove are calling out McCain on his negative campaigning, then I don’t think it’s too late.

Oh go ahead and reach into that bag of self-anesthetizing nonsense. I would probably be in deep denial too

I wouldn’t be throwing bricks when George W is considered THE WORST POTUS in modern history–but that’s probably only because he beat McCain out in 2000.

I thought that should be made the unofficial motto of the campaign. Push it whenever possible. Get it into the public mind so that it starts becoming a punchline in late night monologues (like “never inhaled” had). And soon all you’d have to say when the Repubs made a claim was “Well, I’ve never seen…” and leave it at that.

Folks like thinking they are in the know, and would fill in the rest themselves and Republs would be perceived for the liars they are.

IowaPolitics: Judge and other Dems take on Palin’s credentials

INDIANOLA — The Harkin Steak Fry is traditionally a fundraiser that acts as a stage to rally Democrats around their candidates in addition to highlighting a star of the party. While this year’s gathering did all of those things, it also gave top Iowa Democrats a forum to throw in their two cents about the Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

Iowa Lt. Gov. Patty Judge that spent the most time talking about Palin. She began by joking that she’s heard people try to draw parallels between the female governor and herself and said she wanted to highlight the distinctions in their public service record.

“I’ve been elected twice to the Iowa state Senate, I’ve been elected twice as the first woman in the state to serve as secretary of agriculture, and two years ago I was elected lieutenant governor to serve with my great friend Chet Culver,” Judge said. “So count ‘em up: Sarah, less than two years; Patty, 16 years.”

She went on to highlight the differences in their policy stances.

“Sarah and I are both girls. We both wear glasses. We both have families that we’re very proud of. But Sarah does not believe in a woman’s right to reproductive choice and I do. Sarah doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to equal pay for equal work and I do. Sarah doesn’t believe in a solid science-based education as the foundation of truth and learning and I do,” Judge said. “Sarah is taking a job that will put her within a heartbeat of the presidency of my country, and that scares me to death.”

Judge also poked fun at the details that have become widely noted and reported about the array of outdoor activities Palin enjoys in rural Alaska.

“Sarah knows how to field-dress a moose. I know how to castrate a calf. Neither of those things has anything at all to do with this election. But since we know so much about Sarah’s special skills, I wanted to make sure you knew about mine too,” she said.

Judge dismissed the idea McCain surrogates have put forward about the possibility former Hillary Clinton supporters may throw their support to Palin.

“If John McCain thinks women are than stupid, he is wrong,” she said. “In summary, just because you have a pantsuit, that does not qualify you for the sisterhood.”

Iowa’s First Lady Mari Culver likened the day’s cold, overcast, and windy conditions to her feelings about Palin’s spot on the GOP ticket.

“I haven’t been this cold since John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate,” she said.

Harkin himself spent a few minutes weighing in on the Republican ticket. He said what troubled him most was Palin selling herself as a conservative that has a track record of cutting wasteful government spending.

“When I saw her get up and talk about all these earmarks, I said ‘Wait a minute, what’s going on here? Did I wake up in a parallel universe?’ When she was mayor she got more earmarks for her town per capita than any city in the United States of America,” he said. “This February, as the governor, she requested $270 million in earmarks from our committee.”

Harkin also took aim at the factual accuracy of claims Palin continues to make about specific instances she rejected pork barrel spending.

“She keeps saying she stopped that ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ — not true,” he said. “In November of 2006 Congress stopped the ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’ Here’s the kicker — she kept the money.”

Harkin concluded by saying Palin has “more earmarks than John McCain has houses

Absolutely. In the same way that he’s been getting a ride with the “Maverick” label (it’s just accepted as common knowledge that that is what he is, so it isn’t challenged) this needs to be pushed and pushed often so he gets stuck with the “Liar” label.

John McCain? Oh, he’s the maverick ==> John McCain? Oh, he’s the liar.

CARTER ADMINSTRATION 2 – This time, it’s PERSONAL.

…

America needs more than a great solider, America needs a wise leader.

You guys haven’t got one of those lying around that I can use, do ya?

…

The same campaign that once called for a town hall a week is now launching a low blow a day.

And the same campaign that turned down those town halls, that called for a “new kind of politics,” is doing what, exactly?

Not enough, the continued tax breaks for the wealthy? Promises of “other wars” not closing the deal? More go-it-alone foreign policy, world enmity not enough? Have no fear! You’ll have the continued lies, too! You’ll never miss Bush!

How more out of touch could Mr Eight Homes be, fer christsakes? Does the lying sack of lying shit say anything but lies anymore?

This week, we need to be talking about issues again. If this campaign really is about US, then we need to keep hearing how the policies are going to deal with OUR issues.
