Worked for Bush

Smirks worked for Bush, so why not McCain?

Having never known a promicuous Jewish girl, I wouldn't know. I probably maybe inherited my horror of judging or qualifying the nature of a woman's sexuality from my catholic side. So I really wouldn't be able to judge whether a woman was promiscuous, unless, of course, she told me herself she was, but they don't.

I am always amazed at Zionist's extensive knowledge about women.

And as far as changing my correspondent, you're stuck with me sugarloaf. You 'n me, side by side, as the song says. Whither Sugarman, there goest Mooser, too. Inseperable like the great vaudville teams.

I know you'll stick by me.

The "Jews' misery"? Are you kidding?

No, I suppose not. Nothing brings out the nuts like the mention of Israel.

Derbig

the way i think of it, judaism is a CHAIN. so the way to be one is to have jewish children - or at least TRY. if, through no fault of your own, you are the last link of that chain, not intentionally broken, so be it, it's god's will. at the very least you can not carry water for our announced enemies. that's how i feel. you asked and i told. and no, i don't think Obama likes jews because he fucked a jewish girl - in fact i find your salacious insinuations vulgar and insulting - in fact when antisemites want to make jews uncomfortable they regale tales of promiscuous jewish girls. that you copy that is strange, weird, redolent of goyyim. perhaps you are not an EX-jew but an aryan livak, a catholic balt. is that so? i'm starting to be suspicious. change your tune change your ways or change your correspondent.

Again with the $450 million in military aid the US supposedly gave the PA. Got a source for that, other than your fevered imagination?

The FAS links are to CRS reports. Call me crazy, but I think the Congressional Research Service can run down the numbers of how much money Congress gave in aid.

BTW Sugar

I'm very upset about this "ex-Jew" thing. I've been a Jew all my life, and I'm sort of accustomed to it, you know? Here I am, going my circumcised, Bar Mitzvahed way, and some of it a pretty rough way, never suspecting that instead of being a Jew, I was an ex-Jew! How could I let this happen? Well, never mind that, what can I do about it. I'll do anything to get back in. The benefits alone are priceless, and the company, unique. I'm sure the condition isn't irremediable. Will they have to drop a hot rock on my head, like my motorcycle gang wanted to do to make my gas tank glat. They said it really helps your carburettors from getting plugged.

"Obama Likes Jews"

Now that's good to know. So all that stuff they're pushing about Obama and Hamas and him being next door to a Moslem terrorist, and all, I should just pay no attention to? Good.

You don't think maybe the reason "Obama likes Jews" is cause he took a little try at defusing that old Palestinian Demographic Time Bomb. I wouldn't want to say, he, ah... "rolled his own" but maybe he tried boiling a bagel, if you get my drift. Jewish women can be very persuasive, you know.

McCain Frequently Used Wife’s Jet for Little Cost

Bullshit Express strikes again:

-Last summer, just before starting to use his wife’s plane, Mr. McCain was quoted in a newspaper report as saying that he did not plan to tap her substantial wealth to keep his bid for the Republican presidential nomination going.

I have never thought about it,” Mr. McCain was quoted by The Arizona Republic as saying at a July appearance. “I would never do such a thing, so I wouldn’t know what the legalities are.”-

-My mother taught me that. Even if the woman in question is old enough to be your grandmother, "Miss" will always go over better. Try it. You'll see.

Please make a note of it.-

So noted, and I would even submit 'Ms.' might even be more approriate, though maybe too Gloria Steinhem for a lady of your station. It's your call, er, Miss....

Ma'am's NOT the Word

Thank you for your kind offer, Northwestwoods; I plan to take you up on it.

But for future reference, never use the word, "Ma'am."

Derbig, this is my figuring of Obama and Israel

First, i have REALLY good antennae (come from lines of people, realizing before others, but escaping at the last minute) - Obama LIKES jews. why? who can know that? maybe hyde park, maybe law school, who knows? i just trust my gut in this. AND he has because of his name and color and not-whiteness some sympatico with the moslems. PERFECT! i can't be trusted by the arabs, i don't like or trust them (except omooex - and him only SOMETIMES) but i'm not STUPID, the moslems need some respect which jews aren't going to give them. Obama might. this is going to be a really very ticklish negotiation. i have hopes that Obama can be fair and just PERHAPS the arabs, for once, will choose their own happiness rather than the jews' misery.

Sorry, Ma'am. Didn't mean to upset your culinary sensibilities.

Please allow me to buy you dessert.

Why McCain is better than Bush

Barack Obama recently said that McCain represents an improvement over Bush, and I think this issue illustrates why Barack is right. Bush is America's worst nightmare, and Iraq's. That's a really big nightmare. Like 330 millions worth.

McCain, by contrast, is running to be the nightmare of an entity that is not even a country, but rather a political subdivision of a group of people who would like to be a country.

For republicans, this does represent an improvement, and a step in the right direction.

However, I hasten to add that McCain has lots of problems with his own party (or rather his party has lots of problems with him). He's a Maverick, you know. And it may be that his party will not be satisfied with this rather low nightmare goal. A "nightmare gap", one might call it. So they may insist that he be a bigger nightmare than his campaign promises heretofore would indicate.
