This is the same logic

that prompted the Illinois Republican Party to run Alan Keyes against Obama in 2006. Keyes took only 28% of the vote.

$20 sez that Levi ditches

lil Palin right after the election. A stud like him can't be held back.

In other daughter news, Meghan McCain has already taken a tour of the White House with Jenna Bush-? to pick out her new bedroom.

I took "run it up" to mean bald-faced pandering to their base without regard to the qualifications of the candidate. That's how they do it in Texas.

Americans will have to ask themselves

if they want this hateful, lying hotchickpitbullwithlipstick half-a-heartbeat away from the presidency. When poor old Senator McSleepy takes his last nap, she will be running the show. She would make Bush look like Abraham Lincoln.

BWT, watching dessicated octogenarians wearing their "Hot Chick" buttons last night made me want to shower.

@skylark

The Hot Chick doesn't merit the attention of Barack Obama or Joe Biden. I hope the Dems have to forsight to make The Hot Chick Hillary's Own Personal Project from now until election day. The Hot Chick can spend the next 60 days with Hillary latched onto her like a pit bull.

Calling The Hot Chick "Trailer Trash"

unfairly denegrates trailer dwellers most of whom are more ethical and honest than The Hot Chick. She is "White Trash".

At dinner with my mother last weekend

and next to us was a table of 80-somethings discussion Obama, the subject: when Obama will be assasinated. Oh, it will be a shame and all they clucked, but inevitable.

It was only out of respect for my mother that I didn't walk over to the table and offer to wager each one of them that THEY would be dead before Obama. Greatest Generation My Ass!

There are large swaths of Chicago's South Side,

Obama's home town, who will not vote for him because of his race. The South Side of Chicago is as racially polarized as any of the Southern States.

That said, I just donated $200 Obama. This is the first, and probably last, donation I will make to any candidate or political party ever. I prefer to make my donations to the ACLU as they are the one organization that has consistently and effectively fought the abuses of the Bush "Administration".

The only candidate who associated the 'pig" comment

with Palin was McCain.

Only 7 days ago the Repug's were dancing around objectifying her as "The Hot Chick". Now they cry Sexism!

Sarah Palin is not a thief, plagerist or anti-semite

@ Elephantman

Sarah Palin is too damned stupid to be on the faculty of Wasilla Community College, let alone the University of Chicago.

Thursday, September 11, 2008 10:54 AM

Biden may be asleep at the switch

but Lincoln Chafee is stepping up to the plate and framing The Hot Chick in words every American can understand.

Meanwhile I have no doubt that Charlie Gibson and The Hot Chick are spending the day rehearsing her interview.

Gibson:

"Your candidacy has the momentum of a runaway freight train. How do you explain you incredible popularity?"

Hot Chick:

"A tough question, but fair...."

Over the weekend

a number of major news outlets have latched on to this story. I don't watch Fox "News",but the others seemed united on calling McCain out on his "Blizzard of Lies". What Mr. & Mrs. Flyoverstate want to believe is a different matter...

I think there is a perfect opportunity for the Obama campaign to leverage this issue and tie it into the "4 More Years of Bush" theme. McCain is conducting his campaign of lies and distortions based on the Bush model. He's lying already, how can you trust him in the White House?

Monday, September 15, 2008 09:05 AM
Original article: Biden goes on the offensive

Again, the proof that McCain is nothing more than

an extension of Bush is the way he is conducting his campaign with a "Blizzard of Lies."

What is the Republican platform

on immigration? This needs to be translated to Spanish and circulated far and wide.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 07:57 AM

Biden put it in terms so succinct, even a Republican could understand:

"Who was at the helm when the ship ran aground?" Repeat this 24/7 through Nov. 4. Add that disgusting picture of McSleepy hugging Bush then, for the kicker, fade to the picture of Bush holding hands with Prince Faud.

This is not the time for nuance, this is the time for blunt cranial trauma.

shows just how oblivious she is about her own neo-con agenda.

If you had the balls to use your real name you could go after me for slander. Unfortunately, your cowardice prevents that.

Elerphantman makes a semi-compelling

argument. The problem is, his party has spent the past 8 year lying through their teeth, and proudly. Lie enough times and people will stom believing you, regardless of the veracity of your argument. A childs tale, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, is used to teach this dymanic. Most people understand this message by the time they are 12. John McCain, 72, obviously still doesn't get it.

a chance to influence RATIONAL SWING VOTERS in his direction.
