Obama is merely the cabal's fall-back position. Wake up!
After the destruction wrought by the Bush administration, Obama looks like he won't be as bad.
He voted for the FISA bill, after all.
We know.
He knows he has been cheated again. He will never be President.
So he slings mud like a vindictive punkass bully.
It shouldn't be too difficult to set him up for a little tirade on national TV.
Here's Johnny! You know, the senator with the illegitimate black child who also abandoned his first wife when she got cancer. Values. Yep, Maverick Values.
I predict a heart attack for McCain before the election. He hasn't looked healthy for months, and low-roading carries a built-in stress that does not bode well for longevity. McCain is a pretty crappy excuse for a human being anyway, and such a person running for President of the United States at age 72 had better have a strong constitution.
If McCain loses, the future doesn't look so good for Palin either. Impeachment and/or recall is likely when she returns to Alaska. She will have the added burden of holding on to her absurdly dysfunctional family.
As for the country as a whole, this election is likely the denouement of incivility in our various forms of interaction - TV, politics, work, social life, family life. McCain, by being such a piece of crap, might just achieve the heroism that he has been so mistakenly been ascribed: as the final poster boy of intemperance and nastiness, he can serve as the national exorcised demon.
"the usual rules don't apply" - I don't know why that should bother McCain. On Sunday Palin said America is "a force for exceptionalism."
They have decided to see if they can get him killed. Its as easy as that.
Mad Bomber McInsane is temperamentally unstable, the kind of man who's dangerous when armed with authority. His fellow senators think he's a whack job. (Indeed, earlier this year, Senator Rick Santorum--a neocon nutcase like McInsane--was spreading
dirt about McInsane.)
Sarah Palin doesn't know a Goddamn thing except what AIPAC and the neocon crowd tells her.
News reports have it that McInsane's campaign is going to "take the gloves off" against Saint Barack. Obama had better be ready for it.
But I'm not sure she knew what she was saying. This is just what we need, someone we can't believe, not necessarily because they're lying (although there's that too) but because they don't understand the words they're saying.
Yes, McCain's entire demeanor is ugly and very, very wrong.
Obama supported the bailout and wants to continue war spending in Afghanistan, two of the most ugly and very, very wrong seminal positions in, of, and about America.
Vote Independent.

Or, you could just shoot yourself. It will have precisely the same effect on national politics. In fact, it might even have more if you leave a really nasty note blaming both major political parties for your untimely demise.

...would, then, fall into the category of I Just Don't Want To Hear It. I honestly don't have any reasonable way to respond to that.-- bystander
No, that's not it. I'm not going to bother explaining anymore about it beyond what I already explained. I saw the remark as juvenile, counterproductive and not anymore or less childish than what the guy yelled out at Palin's Nazi rally. Not at all useful. Nothing to do with "don't want to hear it" I'm aware of the situation. Don't see what is difficult to understand about that. Doesn't matter if anyone agrees or disagrees but it would be nice not to be misrepresented.
Over.
Now that was funny, art guerrilla. And preceptive.

by Robert Dreyfuss:
"For all the talk about Afghanistan being the "right war," and with both Obama and McCain insisting that they want to send thousands of additional US forces there, our British allies have let the camel, so to speak, out of the bag. Meanwhile, more and more information is coming out to confirm that the government of Afghanistan is negotiating with (gasp!) the Taliban. This is important stuff.
First, here are the quotes from British Ambassador Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, whose leaked comments in a French cable were reported at the end of last week. In them he says that sending more troops to Afghanistan would make the problem worse, not better, and that the NATO forces in Afghanistan are "part of the problem, not part of the solution": ..."

Having recently moved from Chicago after living there for 53 years, and having followed Chicago politics for a great many of those years, believe me, Barack Obama is NOT the face of Chicago politics. The fact that he might have known Chicago politicians does not make him one any more than knowing who Ayers is makes him a University of Chicago professor.
Those who have tried to tie Sen. Obama to some of the sleazier characters in Chicago have come up looking dirtier than they ever dreamed of making him look. Sen. Obama is the real thing, and none of these arrows have come anywhere close to hitting their intended mark.
From Spain we see words by an economist with a funny first name. Come to think of it, if one loves old cars then his last name has meaning also.
Anyway, he says:
The severe financial crisis and resulting worldwide economic recession we have been forecasting for years are finally unleashing their fury. In fact, the reckless policy of artificial credit expansion that central banks (led by the American Federal Reserve) have permitted and orchestrated over the last fifteen years could not have ended in any other way.
The expansionary cycle that has now come to a close was set in motion when the American economy emerged from its last recession in 1992 and the Federal Reserve embarked on a major artificial expansion of credit and investment, an expansion unbacked by a parallel increase in voluntary household saving. For many years, the money supply in the form of banknotes and deposits (M3) has grown at an average rate of over ten percent per year (which means that every six or seven years the total volume of money circulating in the world has doubled). The media of exchange originating from this severe fiduciary inflation have been placed on the market by the banking system as newly created loans granted at extremely low (and even negative in real terms) interest rates. The above fueled a speculative bubble in the shape of a substantial rise in the prices of capital goods, real-estate assets, and the securities that represent them and are exchanged on the stock market, where indexes soared. ...
He goes on to use his native Spain as an example and gives a decent economic education in a relatively short essay. A good read for those who are not expecting the next president to wave a magic wand and save us all.
