Well, that was one truly inspirational speech.

Now starts the real battle. The McCain-Bush-Neocon-Karl Rove- War Criminal Gang will not be simply lying down to take everything the Democratic Party will throw at them.

Watch out for the next chapter, starting right now!

There will be:

-- Guilt by association;

-- Innuendo;

-- Planting seeds of doubt based on the most tenuous evidence;

-- The manufacture of ‘evidence’ to suit the neocon purposes;

-- Outright lies.

--(and maybe even an 'attack' on the USA by someone claiming to be Osama bin Laden!)

It is good to know that the Democrats seem to be getting their act together. But they will need to watch their backs very carefully indeed...

There will now be those 'wolves prowling through the underbrush', or the equivalent, coming out soon.

I do hope Obama-Biden are properly armored against all the coming lies, that they're able to give back better than they get from the McCain-Bush-Neocon-Karl Rove- War Criminal Gang!

It would be very dangerous indeed to maintain that condescending tone I found in some of the commentary to the real dangers that John McCain + Sarah Palin represent to the Obama + Biden ticket.

It would be wise not to underestimate the stupidity of the US citizen to make exactly the wrong choice for its leaders! US citizens have already proven the level of their political intelligence by electing GW Bush and his War Criminal Gang - not once, but TWICE over!! (Yes, I do realize there was good reason to dispute the results of the 2000 'election' - but did either Al Gore or the voters trouble themselves to dispute the fraud committed by GW Bush and his neocons? And the second time around, in 2004, GW Bush and Gang had been PROVEN beyond any reasonable doubt to have LIED to US Citizens; LIED to US Congress; COMMITTED War Crimes; brought the US to its nadir as a democratic nation - but still the US electorate voted them in!!!)

My real fear now is that the Democrats will now, once again, TOTALLY 'misunderestimate' (as GW Bush would surely put it) the threat to common sense in November that McCain+Palin do surely represent.

OK, as someone pointed out, Sarah Palin lied shamelessly on her first national address.

Does that really matter to US citizens? Is it any different from what GW Bush and Gang had been doing all along right through the tenure from 2000 right up to now?

Remember that US citizens had twice over accepted GW Bush as POTUS, despite (or because of?) those lies!

So, what makes you feel it will be much different for McCain-Palin, especially as they learn to tune their lies to the Obama+Biden weaknesses as perceived by US citizens on the right?

Remember that Obama does not at this point command a huge lead over McCain (despite his credentials to be an effective president).

Now, how should thinking US citizens now work to ensure that Obama + Biden will put Bush-Cheney-Rove-McCain-Palin where they properly belong, in history's garbage heap?

Here's a thought:

The Lies of GW Bush and Gang and Costs of Each Lie:

Lie No. 1:

Cost to the US

LIES leading up to the Iraq War

- US $ 600 Billion

- 4500 US soldiers dead

- AT LEAST 500,000 Iraqi civilians dead

- US at its nadir as democracy

- (etc)

... ....

Lie No. 2: Costs to the US

... ...

Lie No. 3: Costs to the US

... ....

Lies No. 4, 5, 6, 7, etc, etc, etc.

...

(detailed listing of lies of GW Bush and Gang, along with a reasoanble computation of costs of these lies to the US)

COSTS TO EACH INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN, of each lie of GW Bush and Gang.

Question to each US citizen:

Do you want the costs of those lies to be repeated in GW Bush - Term 3 (by McCain+Palin)

US citizens in their electoral 'wisdom' had already made the worst of all possible choices - TWICE over!

First, they 'elected' GW Bush + Cheney in 2004 - OK, there was some question about the election being stolen from Al Gore: but did either Al Gore or US citizens DO anything at all effective about that thievery?

Then, they re-elected GW Bush and his Gang in 2004 - despite clear evidence that this was a bunch of Liars, Thieves and War Criminals, nothing less. The whole world knew it, but the United States of America elected The Gang as their leaders!

I do hope that US citizens will get their act together now at least to ensure that Bush-Rove-McCain-Palin - is not reelected this time around. (According to the current polls, McCain-Palin are not yet wiped out)... this I find truly amazing!!

McCain's 'promise', as reported in story: "McCain, Palin get a rousing welcome in Michigan" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080906/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_palin):

>>>>

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - John McCain and Sarah Palin got a rousing welcome Friday to the final two months of the presidential campaign, stressing themes of a strong America and concern about the sinking economy. "Tough times all over America," McCain said.

Big crowds cheered the Arizona senator and Alaska governor as they made their post-convention debut in Democratic-leaning Wisconsin and Michigan, presenting themselves as a team of reformers eager to challenge Washington's political establishment.

"John McCain doesn't run with the Washington herd," said Palin, the surprise pick as McCain's running mate.

"It's over. It's over. It's over for the special interests," McCain promised. "We're going to start working for the people of this country."

.... (snip)

>>>>>

So for who or what have GW Bush and Gang - McCain's mentor on Iraq and on much else - been working for?

Halliburton and the other special interests, no doubt about it...

...and it is clear from Sarah Palin's antecedents who she is working for...so who is John McCain working for???!!!
