DC,

Easy to predict that - we both know HRC will still be in the race at Barack's inauguration.

No matter the outcome today, I think we will see some announcements from super delegates how those break will be interesting.

Fact is Obama’s risky - Even Mass. Democrats starting to take notice

Boston Hearld ^ | April 22nd, 2008 | Michael Graham

Barack Obama, meet John Adams.

Adams noted during the Boston Massacre trial that “Facts are stubborn things.” And it appears that, for the moment, the facts have caught up with Obama here in Massachusetts.

How else to explain the amazing, astounding and unthinkable results of the latest SurveyUSA presidential poll: Republican John McCain is tied with Barack Obama in the Bay State.

The last Republican to win Massachusetts? Ronald Reagan. The last Republican before that? Dwight Eisenhower. Even George McGovern managed to carry Massachusetts in 1972, the one Democratic holdout in Richard Nixon’s 49-state landslide.

Replace “McGovern” with “MoveOn.org” and you’ve seized the essence of the Obama candidacy. He’s the most liberal U.S. senator, advocating tax increases on the “wealthy” and enjoying the support of Gov. Deval Patrick, Sen. Ted Kennedy, The Boston Globe-Democrat and every 9/11 conspiracy kook in the People’s Republic of Cambridge. He’s got all the players in Massachusetts behind him except the ones who actually vote.

While Hillary Clinton soundly beats McCain in Massachusetts in the new SurveyUSA poll, 56 percent to 41 percent, the Obama/McCain number is 48 percent to 46 percent, well within the margin of error.

A Democrat struggling here in 2008? An unpopular war, a collapsing housing market and $4 gas - if Britney Spears were running as a Democrat, she’d pull at least 50 percent of the Massachusetts vote.

Sixty percent if she kept her clothes on.

Holly Robichaud, the “Lone Republican” of Boston Herald fame, blames Patrick for Obama’s woes. “We’ve already elected one inexperienced candidate running on a vague platform of hope in Massachusetts, and it’s not working out. This is a classic example of ‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.’ ”

Not a bad theory, given that SurveyUSA also found only four in 10 residents approve of the job Gov. Patrick is doing.

But I think that the question driving Obama’s numbers down of late - Clinton passed him in Gallup’s national head-to-head this past weekend for the first time in weeks - is that liberals wonder if he can give them that which they crave most.

Not socialized medicine. Not surrender in Iraq. Not even higher taxes on evil, rich, white oil company executives.

What they want is victory - at virtually any cost.

Typical Americans want to know if Obama, a liberal community activist with little political or executive experience, is tough enough to face our enemies in a troubled world. Massachusetts Democrats could not care less - they just want to make sure he’s tough enough to take on McCain.

And because the answer is “probably not,” Obama is struggling among what should be his most ardent admirers. Massachusetts liberals like him as a guy, and they certainly support his politics. But they really hate losers. Especially after the last eight years.

From the 2000 election controversy - “selected, not elected” to “Bush lied, people died” - the Democratic passion for victory is palpable. The sting of 2004, when exit-poll reporting had John Kerry supporters cheering at 4 p.m. and crying at midnight, is a painful memory.

For a while, Obama was the golden child. His campaign allegedly inspired Obamacans to abandon the GOP in red states like Montana. As long as he looked like a winner, the Obama Express could not be stopped.

Now, it’s the post-Rev. Wright Obama - insulting “clinging” rural voters, running attack ads of questionable veracity, making public statements on things from gun control (for it) and higher taxes (for them, too) that are demonstrably untrue.cw-2

This may be the righter “left” way to govern, but is it the way to beat McCain?

Until Democrats have an answer, Hillary Clinton won’t be dropping out of the race. Why should she?

McSame as Bush.

Micahel Moore endorses Obama~~

So why is Obama losing in PA?

Hey, didn't Moore endorse Kerry also?

Too Funny!

Hey Pando, 2nd place is not a win no matter how you spin a 20 pt lead.

Peolpe are finally getting to know who the real Obama is and don't care much for him!

'Reformer' McCain Repeatedly Did Favors For Wealthy Donor

Donald R. Diamond, a wealthy Arizona real estate developer, was racing to snap up a stretch of virgin California coast freed by the closing of an Army base a decade ago when he turned to an old friend, Senator John McCain.

When Mr. Diamond wanted to buy land at the base, Fort Ord, Mr. McCain assigned an aide who set up a meeting at the Pentagon and later stepped in again to help speed up the sale, according to people involved and a deposition Mr. Diamond gave for a related lawsuit. When he appealed to a nearby city for the right to develop other property at the former base, Mr. Diamond submitted Mr. McCain's endorsement as "a close personal friend."

*****

Oh my, reformer? I think not. Old school, old guard politics. Maybe that is what people will choose? I think it will be a hard sell, everything old versus anything new.

Senator Barack Obama’s Nation Of Islam Connection Exposed!

Minister Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam

February 5, 2008 – Syndicated columnist Debbie Schlussel broke a story on January 30, on Senator Barack Obama’s close ties with the Nation of Islam (NOI), headed by black racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Schlussel interviewed a former Obama insider on the condition of anonymity and learned that contrary to Obama’s recent statements distancing himself from Farrakhan and his anti-Jewish views, the Senator actually has staff members who are NOI members.

According to Schlussel, “… a former Obama insider says that Obama’s sudden aversion to NOI and Farrakhan is belied by the fact that Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs.”

One of those NOI members is Cynthia K. Miller, who served as Treasurer of his Senate campaign. Another NOI member is Jennifer Mason who currently serves as Obama’s Director of Constituent Services and who oversees the hiring of interns for Obama.

The insider also told Schlussel that Obama’s Illinois State Senate district consisted of prime Nation of Islam territory, including Hyde Park where Farrakhan’s mansion is located. According to Illinois politicos, no one can win that district without the blessing of Farrakhan.

Obama’s relationship with recently arrested Tony Rezko is problematic. Rezko is a Syrian Arab who helped Obama purchase his home. In addition, Rezko was in partnership with NOI founder Elijah Muhummad’s son, Jabir.

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
Sen. Obama’s pastor, Dr. Jeremiah Wright has been in the news recently over his anti-Israel statements and his recent awarding of a lifetime achievement award to his friend, Louis Farrakhan. The racist head of the Nation of Islam has referred to Judaism as a “gutter religion” and said that whites are only “potential” humans.

Obama issued a statement distancing himself from some of Wright’s anti-semite comments but his employment of NOI members raises questions about his own religious beliefs and views about Israel.

“This newest revelation about Obama’s close ties to the Nation of Islam raises serious questions about his own faith and his views on whites, Israel and our nation’s war against Islamic fascism,” said TVC Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon. “Just how many Nation of Islam racists will fill an Obama Administration should he become President of the United States?”

The Nation of Islam is a radical anti-white, anti-Jewish organization, founded by Elijah Muhummad.

I think it will be a hard sell, everything old versus anything new.

Bush's disapproval rating worst of any president in 70 years

WASHINGTON — President Bush has set a record he'd presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing; 69% disapprove. The approval rating matches the low point of his presidency, and the disapproval sets a new high for any president since Franklin Roosevelt.

The previous record of 67% was reached by Harry Truman in January 1952, when the United States was enmeshed in the Korean War.

Bush's rating has worsened amid "collapsing optimism about the economy," says Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies presidential approval. Record gas prices and a wave of home foreclosures have fueled voter angst.

Bush also holds the record for the other extreme: the highest approval rating of any president in Gallup's history. In September 2001, in the days after the 9/11 attacks, Bush's approval spiked to 90%. In another record, the percentage of Americans who say the invasion of Iraq was a mistake reached a new high, 63%, in the latest poll.

Assessments of Bush's presidency are harsh. By 69%-27%, those polled say Bush's tenure in general has been a failure, not a success.

Low approval ratings make it more difficult for presidents to maneuver, limiting their ability to get legislation passed or boost candidates in congressional elections.

"The president understands war and the slowdown in the economy weigh down public opinion, but the situation in Iraq is improving, and the economy is about to get a big boost from the stimulus package," White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.

Bush has had dismal ratings through most of his second term. His approval rating hasn't reached as high as 50% since May 2005. He has been steadily below 40% since September 2006.

Views of Bush divide sharply along party lines. Among Republicans, 66% approve and 32% disapprove. Disapproval is nearly universal — 91% — among Democrats. Of independents, 23% approve, 72% disapprove of the job he's doing.

I bet Bunnypants can break this record - if he applies himself.

Being the worst is hard work.

Guilt by Association

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…you know the rest. Obama wants us to believe that he has the judgment – his word – to make sound choices about our country’s domestic and foreign policies. Virtually all of those judgments will involve the people he chooses for cabinet positions, judgeships, and advisors. But look at his (horrific) track record!

▪ Obama’s wife of 16 years, Michelle, hates America (it’s a “mean country”).

▪ Obama’s pastor and “spiritual advisor” of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, hates America (“Not God Bless America, God Damn America”).

▪ Obama’s friend, supporter and former Weatherman terrorist, William Ayers – who bombed the Pentagon, State Department and NY City buildings – hates America ("I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough").

▪ Obama’s closest foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power, “resigned” after intemperate, disparaging remarks she made about UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Hillary Clinton.

▪ Obama’s new foreign policy advisor, Daniel Kurtzer, a former Ambassador to Egypt and Israel, calls Palestinian terrorists “guerillas,” helped to legitimize the terrorist Yasir Arafat, praises longtime antagonists of Israel like former Secretary of State James Baker, urges more pressure on Israel and none at all on the suicide bombers and rocket launchers who routinely attack its citizens, preposterously ties attacks on America to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, incredibly, wants Syria, the terrorist state and implacable foe of Israel, brought into the peace process.

▪ Obama’s campaign co-chair and chief military adviser, Tony McPeak, reports Ed Lasky in The American Thinker, “was found to have made ominous remarks about foreign policy being unduly influenced by people in Miami and New York.”

▪ Obama’s campaign, according to Judicial Watch, has accepted $50,000 from a radical group, Code Pink, which funds and supports Islamic terrorists. “The group actually gave $600,000 to help Iraqi terrorists in Fallujah fight U.S. military forces and its `counter-recruitment’ campaign has harassed, vandalized and impeded U.S. military recruiters across the nation.”

Such is the judgment of Barack Obama – and he hasn’t even been nominated yet! What next can we expect from this smooth-talking, self-described agent of “change” if he captures the presidency? History can be our teacher.

Today, like yesterday, examples abound of other “leaders” – like Obama – who use their verbal skills, charisma, and appetite for power to dupe their followers into believing that they are the way and the light. But as in Fidel Castro’s Cuba and Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, it’s those very followers who end up being tyrannized by the failed Marxist policies that strip them of their freedoms and render them impoverished, hungry, and risking their lives to escape – legally or illegally – to America’s shores.

By the way, Castro and Chavez have heartily endorsed Obama, as has the current president of Nicaragua, the Marxist Daniel Ortega. And you can bet if the Marxist Che Guevara were alive – as his poster image is in one of Obama’s campaign headquarters – he too would climb aboard this ignominious bandwagon. Did I leave out Hamas’s de facto endorsement of Obama or that Obama’s church reprinted the terrorist group’s manifesto?

As to the poster, Obama said it was okay, no need to take it down. As to the Hamas Manifesto on his church’s website – that compares calling for the murder of Jews to America’s Declaration of Independence – Obama said, in essence: I didn’t know nuthin’ about it! Just like in 20 years of attending the Trinity United Church of Christ, he didn’t hear nuthin’ that his anti-American, anti-Semitic pastor ever said!

John McCain's top ten temper explosions

1) Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F— you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens—stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07)

2) In 2000, Sen. McCain Ran An Attack Ad Comparing Then-Gov. George W. Bush To Bill Clinton. SEN. MCCAIN: “I guess it was bound to happen. Governor Bush’s campaign is getting desperate, with a negative ad about me. The fact is, I’ll use the surplus money to fix Social Security, cut your taxes and pay down the debt. Governor Bush uses all of the surplus for tax cuts, with not one new penny for Social Security or the debt. His ad twists the truth like Clinton. We’re all pretty tired of that. As president, I’ll be conservative and always tell you the truth. No matter what.” (McCain 2000, Campaign Ad, 2/9/00; www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHoXkCprdL4)

3) Sen. McCain Repeatedly Called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) An “A**hole”, Causing A Fellow GOP Senator To Say, “I Didn’t Want This Guy Anywhere Near A Trigger.” “Why can’t McCain win the votes of his own colleagues? To explain, a Republican senator tells this story: at a GOP meeting last fall, McCain erupted out of the blue at the respected Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, ‘Only an a–hole would put together a budget like this.’ Offended, Domenici stood up and gave a dignified, restrained speech about how in all his years in the Senate, through many heated debates, no one had ever called him that. Another senator might have taken the moment to check his temper. But McCain went on: ‘I wouldn’t call you an a–hole unless you really were an a–hole.’ The Republican senator witnessing the scene had considered supporting McCain for president, but changed his mind. ‘I decided,’ the senator told Newsweek, ‘I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.’” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)

4) Sen. McCain Had A Heated Exchange With Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) And Called Him A “F*cking Jerk.” “Senators are not used to having their intelligence or integrity challenged by another senator. ‘Are you calling me stupid?’ Sen. Chuck Grassley once inquired during a debate with McCain over the fate of the Vietnam MIAs, according to a source who was present. ‘No,’ replied McCain, ‘I’m calling you a f—ing jerk!’ (Grassley and McCain had no comment.)” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)

5) In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor. “In January 1995, McCain was midway through an opening statement at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing when chairman Strom Thurmond asked, ‘Is the senator about through?’ McCain glared at Thurmond, thanked him for his ‘courtesy’ (translation: buzz off), and continued on. McCain later confronted Thurmond on the Senate floor. A scuffle ensued, and the two didn’t part friends.” (Harry Jaffe, “Senator Hothead,” The Washingtonian, 2/97)

6) Sen. McCain Accused Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Of The “Most Egregious Incident” Of Corruption He Had Seen In The Senate. “It escalated when McCain reiterated the charges Oct. 10 in a cross-examination, calling McConnell’s actions the ‘most egregious incident’ demonstrating the appearance of corruption he has ever seen in his Senate career.” (Amy Keller, “Attacks Escalate In Depositions,” Roll Call, 10/21/02)

7) Sen. McCain Attacked Christian Leaders And Republicans In A Blistering Speech During The 2000 Campaign. MCCAIN: “Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore. … The political tactics of division and slander are not our values… They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country. Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.” (Sen. John McCain, Remarks, Virginia Beach, VA, 2/28/00)

8) Sen. McCain Attacked Vice President Cheney. MCCAIN: “The president listened too much to the Vice President . . . Of course, the president bears the ultimate responsibility, but he was very badly served by both the Vice President and, most of all, the Secretary of Defense.” (Roger Simon, “McCain Bashes Cheney Over Iraq Policy,” The Politico, 1/24/07)

9) Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Republican Volunteer. “It was election night 1986, and John McCain had just been elected to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Even so, he was not in a good mood. McCain was yelling at the top of his lungs and poking the chest of a young Republican volunteer who had set up a lectern that was too tall for the 5-foot-9 politician to be seen to advantage, according to a witness to the outburst. ‘Here this poor guy is thinking he has done a good job, and he gets a new butt ripped because McCain didn’t look good on television,’ Jon Hinz told a reporter Thursday. At the time, Hinz was executive director of the Arizona Republican Party. … Hinz said McCain’s treatment of the young campaign worker in 1986 troubled him for years. ‘There were an awful lot of people in the room,’ Hinz recalled. ‘You’d have to stick cotton in your ears not to hear it. He (McCain) was screaming at him, and he was red in the face. It wasn’t right, and I was very upset at him.’” (Kris Mayes and Charles Kelly, “Stories Surface On Senator’s Demeanor,” The Arizona Republic, 11/5/99)

10) Sen. McCain “Publicly Abused” Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). “[McCain] noted his propensity for passion but insisted that he doesn’t ‘insult anybody or fly off the handle or anything like that.’ This is, quite simply, hogwash. McCain often insults people and flies off the handle…. There have been the many times McCain has called reporters ‘liars’ and ‘idiots’ when they have had the audacity to ask him unpleasant, but pertinent, questions. McCain once… publicly abused Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.” (Editorial, “There’s Something About McCain,” The Austin American-Statesman, 1/24/07)

*****

Temper, temper. . . . Then lying about temper - not so good for any politician let alone a presidential candidate.

Damn the Flag Pin and National Anthem

Finally, there is the real question of Obama’s patriotism. Okay, he doesn’t like wearing a flag pin. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to puncture the fabric of the pricey suits he can now afford, given that his 2006 federal tax return revealed he and his wife are now millionaires.

But that is not the reason he gives. "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, there are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression…”

It gets worse.

According to a sacred United States Code (Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171): During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

But asked about a famous photograph that showed him refusing to place his hand over his heart when our National Anthem was played, Obama offered no explanation. That non-explanation may play well in his elitist circles, but it would play like a stink bomb at Ground Zero in New York City, at the bombed-out Pentagon, in the fields of Shanksville, PA, and in the heartland of America – in fact, in all the places that “bitter” people “cling to God and guns” and other things that Obama clearly holds in contempt.

In spite of overwhelming evidence about the truly dreadful choices that Democrats offer our country next November – Hillary the pathological liar and Barack the Manchurian Candidate incarnate – Obama has smitten a hungry and thirsty electorate for the “hope” and “change” he promises.

To the prospect of his presidency, every sane American should say God forbid!

This explains a lot about you Cornnuts!

Barack Obama’s Snake Oil

Politics Joan Swirsky, Featured Writer
April 22, 2008

Handsome, intelligent, charismatic, blessed with a golden tongue, and irresistible to his besotted followers, Elmer Gantry – the title character of Sinclair Lewis’s 1927 novel – inspired his supporters to swoon, indeed faint, at his seductive oratory. He told them they were “sinners,” then gave them “hope” that they could “change” if they would only follow his path to redemption. As it turned out, Gantry was a fraud – a sinner himself – ultimately exposed and discredited.

“That’s not fair!” liberals protest. “Gantry was fictional.” True, but he is a character that resonated with the reading public because he was instantly recognizable as so many of the frauds in their lives. Just like Svengali, the fictional character in George du Maurier’s novel, Trilby. To this day, a “Svengali” is known as someone who manipulates others into doing his bidding. Sound familiar?

Let’s move on to a real person, this one strikingly good-looking, eloquent, highly educated, and a magnetic charmer who entranced not one but dozens if not hundreds of people to “believe” in him. Here was a man who convinced numerous college-admission professionals to welcome him into the higher halls of academe, as did the employers who trusted in and were rewarded by his work ethic. That is not to omit the dozens of women who were bedazzled by the allure of Ted Bundy, but who the beguiling sociopath savagely murdered.

Like Barack Obama, Bundy was raised by a single, “typical white woman.” But unlike Bundy, Barack has a much larger agenda. It is, in my opinion, to use his good looks, Ivy-League credentials, verbal skills, and personal magnetism to murder America itself! To rail with his oh-so-moderate voice against the bedrocks of our country – the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the capitalism that drives our nation’s immense wealth, the military that protects our freedoms – in order to fulfill his Marxist dream of reversing the exceptionalism that is America itself!

“That’s not fair,” liberals screech. “He’s such a goooood person!”

Let’s turn to Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic known to have held hypnotic influence over Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, the Tsarina Alexandra, after he “healed” their son Alexei. Alexandra came to believe that God spoke to her through Rasputin. Ultimately, Rasputin was thought to be responsible for discrediting the tsarist government he pretended to defend and bringing about the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1917. He was murdered in 1916 and history has by-and-large recorded him as the very emodiment of a charlatan.

“That’s not fair!” liberals whine. “That was then, this is now.”

Okay, how about “now!” Who can forget Jim Jones and his Peoples Temple (of doom)? Using his rugged good looks, powers of persuasion, and faux-messianic message, which included “apostolic socialism,” he convinced his followers to move from San Francisco to Guyana, where, upon being investigated by the U.S. for human-rights abuses, he urged his 900 infatuated followers to imbibe a cyanide-laced drink (the famous Kool-Aid) that resulted in their ghastly deaths.

All of these men – the fictional Elmer Gantry and Svengali and the very real Ted Bundy, Rasputin, and Jim Jones (and I didn’t even include David Koresh and Mussolini, among others) share startling and disturbing similarities with Barack Obama. They all had charm, eloquence, a “message” that was irresistible to their acolytes, and a peerless way of camouflaging their real goals until after their victims were hooked!

After the hooking, however, their lust for total control of “the masses” – that they really had deep contempt for and fervently believed were too stupid to determine their own fates – took hold. All of these slippery charm-purveyors turned out to be monumental phonies and devastating oppressors of the gullible and needy people they preyed upon.

McCain boasts: ‘No one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have’

The AP had an item the other day noting that John McCain is walking a fine line between running on Bush’s ideas and keeping some distance from a wildly unpopular president.

The senator told ABC News on Monday, “The point is, I’m not running on the Bush presidency, I’m running on my own service to the country, my own record in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and my vision for the future.”

McCain sometimes makes it easy, though, to connect him to the president with a 28% approval rating.

O]n right-wing radio talker Mike Gallagher’s show this past Friday, McCain struck a different tone, proudly declaring that “no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.” “Let me emphasize that there are many national security issues that I have strongly supported the president [sic] and steadfastly so,” added McCain.

Later in the interview, McCain reiterated that he has “agreed with the president on many issues,” though he said “there are some issues” they have not agreed on.

“No one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.” Be prepared to hear that quote quite a bit in the fall. Indeed, I’d argue that it’s nearly as damaging as his stated willingness to keep U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years.

****

Now Bush is in the tank, I wonder if McShame will change his tune? A rank opportunist would so I expect it will be so in this instance.

Too predictable, eh?

Good thing St. McCain campaigned so hard to get Commander Guy re-elected in 2004. Those hundreds of campaign stops they made together will make for some great advertising, don't you think?

Anyway, 69% disapproval places Bush below Castro's Cuba and Saudi Arabia in the eyes of Americans. Given the record oil prices and that 17 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, that's pretty remarkable. Even Venezuela, led by Chavez is held with higher regard than our very own Preznit.

Why there are not more calls for his resignation is a complete freaking mystery.

*****

My guess is Barack will not need to even go there. McSame can't hide from his long, long past.

Bush as a global pariah - I think I predicted as much.

President Bush made a cameo appearance on the NBC game show, Deal or No Deal, and even made fun of his own abysmal approval ratings in a prerecorded message to an Army officer who was a contestant on the show.

“Good evening, Captain Kobes. I’m thrilled to be on Deal or No Deal with you tonight. Come to think of it, I’m thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days.”

*****

And tonight Bunnypants is raising money in LA for another GOPher/slug.

He knows he is reviled and jokes about it? Where are those pesky WMD's - it just gets more funny by the day.

Someone sure wants to paint a picture of Barack Obama as a commie, Islamic, American hating, terrorist. The only association that would deter me from considering BHO as the best candidate for president of the United States is if I had proof that he was even remotely connected with LBH. At that point I would lose all respect for the man and probably blow my brains out.

Thank God that shit don't flow up stream!

HA!

On crucial primary day, wild Bill at it again with 'race card' claims

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - Hillary Clinton began her crucial election push in Pennsylvania under bright sunny skies - and a new cloud courtesy of her volatile husband, who bitterly accused Barack Obama of "playing the race card on" him.

The former First Lady has repeatedly apologized if people got offended in the racially tinged South Carolina primary, and urged her supporters, including Bubba, to zip it.

But the former President mouthed off on a Pennsylvania radio station, declaring, "I think that they played the race card on me. We now know, from memos from the campaign that they planned to do it along."

He was referring to a memo from Obama's camp that detailed comments from the Clintons that had offended some African-Americans, including Hillary Clinton saying it took Lyndon Johnson to realize Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.

****

I think I mentioned the HRC camp would trot out some surrogate and bring up race AGAIN right before the polls.

This is a planned part of the way the Clintons campaign. Go back and check out what they said right before other polls.

How low can they go?

This just in. It is strongly rumored that should Barack Obama get the DEM nomination, Sen McCain will chose Sen Clinton as his running mate. They have been lock-step all the way.

And how is the race card going to play in PA? Drive white voters to BHO? The black voters have all but abandoned the Clintons and it is for a variety of reasons

Read Rochelle Riley in todays Detroit Free Press

(I asked her to check on the story that bacaangel posted regarding counselor Wright at the White House)

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080422/COL10/804220369

"That the Clintons have been too shortsighted to see it means they are missing the watershed event -- America accepting a man and his ideas without regard to his color. This election is the moment that civil rights workers of all colors died for in the 1960s, the moment for which my grandmother prayed."

This is the dream we have all prayed for all of our lives since the beginning of mankind. Cut the crap. Stop the greed and killing and live as human beings to the fullest intent of our creator.

And God Bless Jimmy for still being in there trying. Dana Perino says "actions speak loudest" so I guess that means the white house agrees that the do nothing statesmanship is going no where.

A Bill Clinton/Jeremiah Wright pic emerges

My source yesterday had a smart premonition.

The above is from, of all days, September 11th, 1998. Clinton was in his contrition phase at that point in his presidency, atoning for his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Posted by an anonymous member of Jeremiah Wright's Chicago church on a blog titled "The Truth About Trinity United Church of Christ," the caption states that Obama's pastor was at the White House for a meeting of religious leaders.

"Pastor Wright was invited to the White House TWICE! This man is a true patriot and a powerful minister of the gospel," writes the blogger.

It's unsaid what the other event was.

Expect to see this shot everywhere tonight and tomorrow.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0308/A_Bill_ClintonJeremiah_Wright_pic_emerges_.html

The wording of Mr. Clinton’s thank-you note to Mr. Wright, dated Oct. 28, 1998:

Dear Pastor Wright:

Thank you so much for your kind message.
I am touched by your prayers and by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across our country.

You have my best wishes.

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

As for Obama himself, according to the Web site Politico.com, in a radio interview to be broadcast Monday in Philadelphia, he defends his church, saying, "Despite these very offensive views, this guy has built one of the finest churches in Chicago. This is not a crackpot church. Witness the fact that Bill Clinton invited him to the White House when he was having his personal crises."

*****

So Rev. Wright was okay to help Bill get past his bad days but the good Rev. is disposable when that might serve the Clinton's ambition?

The only association that would deter me from considering BHO as the best candidate for president of the United States is if I had proof that he was even remotely connected with LBH. At that point I would lose all respect for the man and probably blow my brains out

Dude, haven't you heard? Obummer is related to Dick Cheney, which makes Obummer one of my crazy uncles like his pastor is to him.

Please don't blow your brains out, it would give us bitter ol white boys who cling to their guns a bad name~~~

Someone sure wants to paint a picture of Barack Obama as a commie, Islamic, American hating, terrorist.

Jeesh, your boy Obummer is doing a good job of that himself. Keep drinking the Kool Aid my friend! LOL

Obama’s acceptance of Moore, MoveOn.org support is an insult to our Armed Forces and nation

Dear Mr. Obama,

The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States commands the obedience of our men and women in uniform by law, but we are confident that you also appreciate the need to command their respect. We bring to your attention the endorsement of filmmaker Michael Moore at his Web site.

...In 2004, Mr. Moore posted material that praises the terrorists who are murdering American service members as “Minutemen” who “will win.” This material is still online at his Web site (http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=2004-04-14).

Decent Americans have NO use for ANYBODY who cheerleads for terrorists who murder our service members. We use the word “murder” deliberately because only a uniformed enemy combatant who is fighting in accordance with the laws of war can legally kill an American soldier. Any of Mr. Moore’s “Minutemen” who disguises himself as a civilian for this purpose is guilty of murder. Mr. Obama, voters need to know whether you are with our Armed Forces or the terrorists.

...Your solicitation and acceptance of MoveOn.org’s endorsement makes you a party to this insult to General Petraeus, and therefore an insult to every decent American who understands the meaning of “Duty, Honor, and Country.” If you continue to stand with MoveOn.org, the concept of an officer and gentleman like General Petraeus, or even a buck private, having to call you “Sir” is sickening.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Come on this guy took a Hamas endorsement, Michael Moore is like icing on the cake for him. he doesn't give a crap about our troops, for Gods sake the man won't even wear a flag pin!

Obama Explains Comment About McCain

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 12:29 PM

PITTSBURGH -- Barack Obama, who said Republican John McCain would be an improvement over President Bush, argued Tuesday that his comment didn't undercut Democrats' contention that the GOP nominee-in-waiting offers the same as the unpopular president.

"To say that John McCain and some of his instincts may be better than George Bush's, that's a low bar," the Democratic presidential candidate said, adding that he also has stressed that McCain is offering "warmed over versions of Bush foreign policy and economic policy."

"So, there's no contradiction there," Obama said.

In Reading, Pa. on Sunday, the Illinois senator was trying to argue that he is the better choice over Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in Tuesday's primary in Pennsylvania. But Obama, who often claims that McCain would be an extension of Bush's tenure, ended up inadvertently praising McCain.

"You have a real choice in this election. Either Democrat would be better than John McCain. And all three of us would be better than George Bush," Obama said.

That comment contrasted with what the Democratic Party as a whole often says about McCain as it tries to make the general election a referendum on Bush _ that the likely Republican nominee offers a vision identical to that of the president on everything from Iraq to the economy.

It also gave Clinton an opening to criticize Obama, saying: "We need a nominee who will take on John McCain, not cheer on John McCain."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess Obummer didn't get the McBush talking points from you jokers!

"All three of us would be better than George Bush," Obama said.

John McCain: “I’m a Terrorist”

Well, OK, he didn’t say that explicitly. But he did say it implicitly.

A basic logic lesson and please forgive me if you think I’m talking down to you. I’m really not. It’s just that I’m shocked at how many people, including McCain, don’t seem to get logic. If I say, “All crows are black” and I also say, “That bird is a crow,” then I’m saying that that bird is black even if I don’t say so explicitly.

On ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday, April 20, John McCain called William Ayers “an unrepentant terrorist.” What was McCain’s evidence? McCain said that Ayers “was engaged in bombings which could have or did kill innocent people…” So McCain is saying that someone who engages in bombings which could have killed or did kill innocent people is a terrorist.

Now consider what McCain did. McCain flew a bomber, an A-4E Skyhawk, over North Vietnam. I don’t know whether he actually dropped his bombs before being shot down. But certainly he was engaged in actions that, if he had succeeded, could have killed innocent people. Which makes McCain, in his own words, a terrorist.

Now McCain could argue that that’s different because, as he said elsewhere in the interview, “I had a reconciliation with the Vietnamese, when we normalized relations.” Did he apologize to them? He didn’t say. If he did, that would make him a “repentant terrorist.” Too bad Stephanopoulos didn’t challenge him.

29 N. Carolina legislators endorse Obama

RALEIGH, N.C. — U.S. Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of 29 North Carolina state legislators on Tuesday, a significant boost to his candidacy ahead of the state's May 6 primary.

Led by Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand and former Speaker of the House Dan Blue of Raleigh, the lawmakers repeated the same lines as others who have endorsed Obama — that the Illinois senator can bring people together and ignite change across the country.

Blue also challenged the Clinton campaign to remain positive in North Carolina, saying he had seen nothing but negativity so far in Pennsylvania.

"I hope this is not what we can should expect to come to North Carolina in the next two weeks," Blue said. "Tired old political tactics aren't going to bring about the kind of change we need."

Blue and Rand said their support comes in part because they think Obama will help Democrats win other offices in the state and because he has committed to win in North Carolina in November's general election.

Rand praised Obama for speaking directly. "He won't just tell everyone what they want to hear," Rand said. "He'll tell people what they need to hear."

He said the group will raise money and stump for Obama if they are asked. And he praised Obama's ability to raise millions of dollars in part on the strength of $100 donations.

"We're prepared to do whatever. I mean, I'll give him a hundred," Rand said.

Did I mention the superdelegates?

HRC cannot get 29 ahead with a 70/30 win in PA.

And the flood gates are just cracked open a little . . . .

Bush loved the troops too much?

There once was a monkey-boy president
Started a war on lies and the truth was bent
To show his great love from on high and above
He killed four thousand of the troops he sent

Interesting about flag pins. John McCain has worn one but a google image search reveals he doesn't wear a flag pin very often. I veiwed 7 pages of photo's before I could find one.

Exit Polls: McCain would win Clinton and Obama supporters

cnn ^ | April 22, 2008

John McCain said Tuesday he isn't sure if a prolonged Democratic race is benefiting his candidacy, but the exit polls appear to show it is.

The Arizona senator stands to win supporters of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama if their candidate does not win.

Only 50 percent of Clinton voters in Pennsylvania said they would support Obama if he is the nominee. Twenty-six percent said they would back McCain over Clinton, and 19 percent said they would not vote at all.

Among Obama’s Pennsylvania voters, 67 percent said they would support Clinton if she is the party's nomine. Seventeen percent said they would back McCain instead, and 12 percent said they would stay home.

Clearly, whoever is the Democratic nominee will have some fences to mend.

"To say that John McCain and some of his instincts may be better than George Bush's, that's a low bar," he said, acknowledging that McCain is offering "warmed-over versions of Bush foreign policy and economic policy."

"So, there's no contradiction there," Obama said.

Wow! He really likes to set the bar low for himself - since he's comparing himself Hillary and McCain in the same statement. Must be why he whiffs it every time he gets close to closing out Hillary!!! LOL

Poll Shows New York Turning "Purple"

New York State's traditional status as a blue democratic leaning state is changing to a color closer to purple in a new poll released by Siena College, which shows Republican John McCain gaining ground over his Democratic challengers. In a sign that the long, and increasingly negative campaign between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is hurting their standing among New York democrats, the Siena poll finds that neither could win over 50% of voters against Republican John McCain. Siena's Steve Greenberg says if the election were held today, 46% would vote for Clinton to 42% for McCain, and 45%...

Great article on Obummer the glass jaw canidate~~

Thoroughly Beatable Barack

Human Events ^ | April 22nd, 2008 | Jed Babbin

Though Hillary Clinton probably can’t, John McCain can certainly defeat Barack Obama. Obama’s weakness has nothing to do with his race, his liberalism, or his inexperience.

The Greeks had a term for it: hamartia. The one flaw -- different in every man -- that makes him imperfect, vulnerable and gives his adversaries, if they discover it, the ability to bring him down. Achilles’ was his heel. Obama’s is his political glass jaw.

The supposedly-brilliant Democratic wunderkind can’t take a punch. Like a Hollywood actor, he’s only comfortable, quick and charismatic as long as the crowd is oohing and ahhing. But the moment that he is challenged -- as we first saw in his presser after he lost the Ohio primary in March and again last week in the ABC debate -- the mask shatters.

What we see is what we would get with an Obama presidency: a man whose range is so small and ego so huge and fragile that when taken out of his comfort zone, he not only fails to shine, he barely is able to speak.

In that post-Ohio presser, the reporters who had previously been a source of adulation were themselves riled by a Saturday Night Live skit which portrayed them as they had been: fawning over Obama. (In the skit one actor-reporter offered him a pillow.) And then, when he lost to Clinton in Ohio, reporters dared to actually ask a few questions that required more of him than to smile and mutter “change.”

Obama was flustered, angry, and terminated the event with a sharpness that startled some of the participants. Last week, he showed another side.

In the last debate against Clinton before the Pennsylvania primary, Obama had a very bad night. He ducked and weaved, demonstrating an amazing shallowness on critical issues. On capital gains tax, he said he’d raise it to a “fair” level, shrugging off the questioner’s statement that the proven result of capital gains tax hikes is a reduction in collected tax revenues. He, and Clinton, are suddenly big fans of the Second Amendment, but he (and Clinton) both spoke favorably of gun control laws. The former chief of the Harvard Law Review didn’t display much understanding of the Constitution. Or of the Supreme Court case that’s about to decide the constitutionality of the DC gun ban.

Obama may be able to float like a butterfly but he also stings like one. At a rally later last week in Raleigh, N.C., Obama was critical of Clinton, saying, “Sen. Clinton looked in her element” in the debate. And then he did something as shocking and juvenile as we’ve seen a pol do since the last time Bill Clinton stuck his thumb in a lady’s waistband and snapped her panty hose.

Obama was speaking critically about Hillary Clinton and -- unable to control his impulse -- he smirked and made an obscene finger gesture (in a manner well-known to high schoolers) with his middle finger against his nose. (To those who doubt, see the video and judge for yourself.) Everyone saw what he meant: the crowd understood. And so did Howard Dean and John McCain.

The Pennsylvania debate and aftermath drew a frustrated plea from Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean. In a CNN interview last Thursday, Dean practically begged the superdelegates to put him out of his primary misery. “I need them to say who they’re for starting now…We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time,” Dean said. Not just campaign time and fundraising time. But healing time?

Dean -- having done much to create this Frankenstein-like primary season -- has, like the mad Baron, realized what he has done. He may not have forseen the Obama phenomenon or the fact that Hillary Clinton couldn’t close the deal on Super Tuesday. But even the man who brought primal scream therapy to televised campaigning sees open, not-soon-to-heal wounds separating the biggest Democratic constituencies: black voters and the most liberal of Democrats overwhelmingly for Obama versus women and more moderate Dems for Clinton.

Dean’s party is split neatly down the middle, in a battle growing rougher by the day. Which is why he is pleading more for time to heal than time to campaign against John McCain. But Hillary Clinton isn’t going anywhere, and neither Dean nor any of the other party elders can either stop her or compel superdelegates to decide the race. Both Hillary and Obama have gone negative in the days before tomorrow’s Pennsylvania primary. Healing is delayed, indefinitely.

Which leaves Sen. John McCain able to throw sharp above-the-belt jabs at Obama to keep the Democrats divided. On Sunday, McCain raised Obama’s long-time association with former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.

In an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulous, McCain said that Obama’s defense of his relationship with Ayers “borders on the outrageous.” Having done the damage he desired -- like any good fighter pilot -- McCain headed back to base saying he didn’t question Obama’s patriotism. “But,” McCain added, “his relationship wit Mr. Ayers is open to question.”

When Pennsylvania Democrats vote tomorrow, they’ll be placing their bets on who can survive a 15-round fight with Sen. John McCain. Sen. McCain wants to fight the fall campaign by Marquis of Queensberry rules. In his own words, McCain is older than dirt and has more scars than Frankenstein. He can throw a pretty good political punch.

Obama is young and unscarred. And he can’t take a punch. John McCain can beat Obama even if Hillary can’t.

Voters Have Their Say in a Democratic Battle That Obama Can't Seem to Lock Up

By JENNIFER PARKER
April 22, 2008

Pennsylvania voters have their say today in a primary vote that isn't expected to clarify what has become a dragged-out Democratic nomination battle between Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. Hillary Clinton battle for votes in the Pennsylvania primary Tuesday.
(Getty Images/AP Photo)With Clinton leading in polls in the state, her expected win could fuel questions about why Obama hasn't been able to sew up the nomination, despite having more money, having won more states and a lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates, according to ABC News' delegate scorecard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obummers not much of a closer~ not going to help him much trying to get his agenda on raising taxes and increasing spending when he can't even close out Hillary.

What a dud!

If I had a nickel for every time that our very own homeschooler beat me to the Funnies, I'd help Gramps McBush pay for the legal fees that he's incurred by cheating the Campaign finance laws. Now THERE'S a candidate that LBH can get behind, another corrupt Republican. Figures.

Onto the professional class funnies, these guys do it for a living and on purpose (as opposed to LBH whose accidental humor goes a long way to explaining the current state of the Dead Man Walking Party):

"This is weird. I'm not making this up. ... Earlier tonight, President Bush made a special taped appearance on the game show 'Deal or No Deal.' President Bush was on 'Deal or No Deal.' Afterwards, Bush said, 'I like this show, because randomly pointing at boxes is how I make decisions, too.'"
--Conan O'Brien

"But it's true, Bush was on 'Deal or No Deal.' Apparently he didn't feel he was ready for 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'"
--David Letterman

"According to some of the political blogs, Democratic operatives have been looking for dirt on John McCain since February. You know what you call someone who digs up dirt on John McCain? An archaeologist."
--Jay Leno

"And earlier this evening, President Bush made an appearance on the TV show 'Deal or No Deal.' I guess he got turned down for 'Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?'"
--Jay Leno

"In an interview, First Lady Laura Bush, who used to be a librarian, ... says she cannot fall asleep without reading. ... As opposed to her husband, who can't read without falling asleep."
--Jay Leno

"Speaking of reading, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is now working on a book about his strategy for the war in Iraq. It will be a while before it goes to the publisher because cause he just doesn't know how to end it."
--Jay Leno

"This was quite a debate. They touched on all the important issues that are facing Americans today. Bitterness. Flag pins. Retired preachers. Sixties radicals. Imaginary Bosnian snipers. Cookies. It was really quite a debate. I don't want to say Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos were awful, but today the FCC fined ABC for allowing boobs on the air."
--Bill Maher

"And not to be outdone on this subject, George Bush made a speech this week on global warming. The good news? He finally admits it's real. The bad news? He wants to invade the sun."
--Bill Maher

"And with oil prices hitting an all-time high, Barack Obama promised today if he is elected, he will fund research to develop a car that runs on the bitterness of economically-strapped Pennsylvania voters."
--Jay Leno

"And this is interesting. Congressman Jack Murtha said that John McCain is too old to be president. To which McCain said, 'Hehhh?'"
--Jay Leno

"A new ABC poll says 58% of Americans don't think Hillary is honest or trustworthy. 58%? You know what you call a politician with numbers like that? President Bush."
--Jay Leno

"How many watched the debate last night? [on screen: Light cheers and a few boos]. How many watched 'American Idol?' [on screen: Loud cheers and applause]. You get the government you deserve."
--Jay Leno

"I watched the debate between Hillary and Barack. It was interesting. She was kinda lashing out at him, but to be fair, I think it was just the liquor talking. As you know, Hillary Clinton is trying to appeal to the blue collar voters. She's drinking, talking about hunting and fishing, and it's working. She is now, in the latest poll, up eight points in the mullet vote."
--Jay Leno

"And President Bush announced his plan this week to limit greenhouse gases. He said he will ban all greenhouses. See, I don't think he understands exactly what's going on."
--Jay Leno

"And yesterday, of course, was Pope Benedict's birthday. Happy birthday to him. They had a little party for him at the White House. You may have seen that. As you know, the pope does not drink, he does not do drugs, and he's taken a vow of celibacy. So it's pretty safe to say no congressmen showed up for that party."
--Jay Leno

"In fact, you know, I think President Bush got a a little bit confused yesterday, when he heard it was the pope's birthday. You know, like, he said, 'His birthday? Where are we gonna get a Christmas tree this time of the year?' I don't think he understands the Catholic religion. It's a little different."
--Jay Leno

"These international trips are tricky. And often there can be some confusion and perhaps some embarrassment. They had an episode today in Washington, everybody is laughing about it now. But at the time, it was not funny. The pope, after the mass, accidentally gave the last rites to John McCain."
--David Letterman

"And then, you know what they did? The pope, God bless him, has the popemobile. He said the mass and he takes off in the popemobile, and then President Bush followed him in the dopemobile."
--David Letterman

Oh, where to begin with cleaning up the Zombie Chow? Let's start with Jed Babbin. I don't even have to riff off of his name to make him sound like a simp. With a name like his, you're lucky to be allowed on the internet.

Jed thinks Obama has a glass jaw? Hmmm.

Let's look at his history of prognostication (that's "predicting" for all you homeschoolers, sorry, didn't mean to go all polysyllabic on ya'. FYI "polysyllabic" is something akin to using "big words"). M'kay? M'kay.

First off there's the hilarious rant: September 15, 2006
Is There a New Republican Momentum?

Therein Jed analyzes the conventional wisdom that warns of a Democratic Tidal wave and comes up with this gem:

"But - as Donald Lambro and I wrote last week, and as Rush Limbaugh analyzed with mathematical elegance Tuesday - Democrats are not in as strong a position as they say. The momentum shift of the past six weeks may be profound, and among the things it portends is NOT Democratic control of congress."

Could he be any more of a goofball? The answer to that simple question is an emphatic "yes!!"

There's his follow-up screed: October 05, 2006
Dem Timing Plays & GOP Silver Bullets

Here he lays out the winning formulae for winning the 2006 election.

"This year, polls show Democrats aren't doing as well as they'd thought on key issues such as winning in Iraq, homeland vulnerability to terrorist attack and the need to keep the economic boom going."

I guess by "boom" he means the implosion of the housing market?

Jed's keys to the electoral kingdom?

"The Republicans should realize two things. First, as ABC's political director Mark Halperin wrote a few days ago, Republican strengths are real. If Republicans start filtering the media-generated noise out of the election conversation, they will beat Democrats on issues. Second, the Democrats are spinning the issues not answering them."

Read the whole thing to see just how delusional this fool is:
http://tinyurl.com/5lq8jy

This brings us to Jed's earth-shaking warning: October 26, 2006
Will the Media Drown in an 06 Election 'Wave'?

He thinks the media clowns will eat crow after the election. The logic starts off soundly enough: The big money media sux. The conclusions that he reaches never deliver on that initial premise. Mainly because Republicans drowned in a stank lake of corruption, greed, recklessness and over-the-top @$$clownishness.

This one's not really worth reading; but that's your call:

In his next column, he gets caught counting and trying to cook his chickens before they are out the hen's behind:
November 02, 2006
Countdown to Tuesday (and Wednesday)

The opening is all you need to read: "This column was supposed to be a self-congratulatory analysis of...."

Republicans are about to go swirling down the toilet and he's writing self-congratulatory analyses. It is even more pathetic than you can imagine:
http://tinyurl.com/6kmge2

Oh, wait, I forgot the funniest one of them all. Jed engages in Poll-watching and gets it all @$$backwards:

"About two weeks ago, a Gallup poll showed that the Dems' lead (more than a dozen points) in national polls had disappeared. This was a poll of 1,000 adults, not likely voters. If only likely voters had been polled, the Dem advantage would probably have morphed into a small Republican lead. This, despite bad news from Iraq, high gasoline prices and voter disgust with Congress. Why? Because world and national news is trumping small issues the Dems want to campaign on."

It just goes downhill from there:

What kind of ugly stories will Gramps have to answer for in the General Election? Bribes. Big. Big. Bribes.

"Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has doled out numerous favors to Arizona millionaire Donald Diamond, the New York Times reports, including authorizing the Interior Department to pay Diamond $23 million for Arizona ranch property valued at about $5 million. “Mr. Diamond and his family have given more than $55,000 to Mr. McCain’s campaigns” and Diamond has raised $250,000 for McCain’s presidential race so far."

Of course lying being a requirement of the DMW, we have post after post from the Dead(head) Man Walking posterchild, LBH lying about Obama's wife, his campaign and suggesting that it's ok to discriminate against someone for being a muslim. The DMW never get it. They screw over Catholics, Italians, Hispanics, pro-choice libertarians, fiscally conservative dems, moderate muslims, civil libertarians, etc, etc, and they wonder why they're in the minority. The DMW is a white man's party.

Roadblock republicans have no ideas other than "filibuster the world," and they can't figure out that they're the reason that Americans hate congress. Mr. 20% spends 100% of his time vetoing legislation that Americans need.

The DMW can't hold a solid Republican stronghold like Hastert's even when they run against a MoveOn liberal; and tonight they're crapping their pants because they're scrambling to hold onto a "safe" DMW seat in Mississippi:
99% of Precincts Reporting
Travis W. Childers (D): 49% (32376)
Greg Davis (R): 47% (30923)

They outspent Dems 10 to 1 in the 2006 elections and got stomped on in a most egregious manner. This election cycle they can't even keep up with the Dems in fundraising.

Lies. That's all the DMW has. How pathetic. Gramps needs to pray for a miracle.

The DMW and the homeschooler take parody as fact. They have become so disconnected from reality that they take jokes written about Obama and swallow them whole as if they were true. The Koolaid Enema is clearly impairing the thinking of the rank and file DMW.

They quote Obama saying:
