Elitist Celebrity Hanger-On ...... John McCain

So much for the McCain line of attack that Barack Obama is the elitist and the celebrity in this contest. Not that people who've been paying attention knew any differently. But, you try to talk sense about these things to the GOP kool-aid drinkers and their eyes glaze over and they plug their ears and start screaming la-la-la-la-la-la-la! liberal lies! liberal lies! la-la-la-la-la-la!! Pretty sad.

Ruh-Roh . . . OMFG!

Talk about doing a Scooby-Doo double-take. Imagine my surprise to find out that the moose-shooting, bible-thumping hockey mom from Wasilla, Alaska is the "MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE" person in ALL of the United States on the subject of Energy. And wait! It gets better -- And because Sarah Palin is America's foremost knowledgeable expert on national energy matters that also de facto qualifies her as being a National Security specialist as well!!! Will wonders never cease??

Holy Fucking sheep-shit batman! These people aren't even trying to pretend they're competent and qualified anymore. It's the old canard -- "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BULLSHIT!"

I'm sorry --- my Republican friends --- if you are buying into this load of horse-shit, I have to knock you down a notch or two on my intellectual respect meter. If you honestly believe Sarah Palin is the - quote - "MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE" person in the United States on energy policy, AND, therefore also a National Security expert, you've drank so much GOP kool-aid it's drowning your fucking brain.

No Decent Internet Access In Your Area? Move To Slovenia . . .

Need to take a break from the sordid Sarah Palin coverage. Too damn depressing and infuriating.

Anyhow ----

This article caught my eye and it's an important one because it really captures the essence of the damage that 8 years of conservative and Bush/Cheney rule have done to this country.

We Americans like to pride ourselves on being the best at everything. Of course reality dictates that we cannot possibly be the best at all. Regardless, we do like to convince, mostly ourselves, if not the world, that we are #1 in all matters great and small.

But this article paints a very telling picture - one that underscores a harsh truth. It's a truth which demonstrates that while our glorious American leaders have been stomping around the world playing king of the hill with weak, tin-horn dictators and hide & go seek with ragged bands of bazooka-toting cave-dwellers, the rest of the sane, non-belligerent world has gone along on it's merry way to becoming our technological superiors.

Imagine the progress America could have made in all facets of the hi-tech industry these past 8 years if our boy King and his neo-con clown show hadn't wasted trillions of dollars on their amazing Iraq adventure, their predictably failed world-wide war on terrorism, and their myopic, greedy domestic economic policies.

If our dear smirking leader had only done the right thing and just focused on bringing the 9/11 perps to justice instead of wandering off into the sands of Mesopotamia and declaring world-wide war on every Allah Akbar screeching nut on the planet, all that effort, time, resources and money could have been spent here at home, not only upgrading our broadband infrastructure, but also our national security infrastructure, our transportation infrastructure, our healthcare and education infrastructure, our energy infrastructure, etc., etc., etc. . .

But no -- instead of making the list as being one of the top ten countries in the world for broadband quality and accessibility, we don't even make an honorable mention in the whole goddamn article. Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia -- SLOVENIA! for christ's sake! -- are all better than America.

And so in lieu of decent broadband service, and ready, affordable access to that broadband service for all our citizenry along with a healthy investment in America's bountiful wealth of hi-tech human resources with an eye towards the future, we instead get handed the bloody invoice for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican party's collossal war-mongering fuck-ups and greedy deeds.

It really is all the more reason to put the Republican party, as it exists in it's current embodiment, out of it's wretched fucking misery come November 4th.

Evil Geniuses . . .

Leave it up to the GOP (Grand Old Pricks) to come up with an idea to take away the right to vote from people who've lost their homes to foreclosure.

On it's face it's such an insidious plan, it's a given that it emanated from the hearts and minds of some really awful human beings (I loathe even calling them human) who's contempt for American Democracy and the right of every citizen to participate in that Democracy is on vivid display here for all to see.

KO K.O's the Fascist Propagandists . . .

Thank the invisible cloud beings that be that Keith Olbermann graces the raster scan of that vast wasteland known as cable television once a night.

Keith don't fuck around. He calls out the cowards in the GOP and then delivers a nice swift kick to their nuts. Now, if we only had a way to sap some of Keith's DNA and transplant it into the spine of the Democratic party, the future of this country would start looking a hell of alot brighter.

Turning Away From the Dark Side . . .

Libertarian/conservative pundit Andrew Sullivan has seen the light. The former Bush and McCain supporter himself now is of the opinion that McCain is unfit for higher office - much less McCain's damsel in distress Sarah Palin.

55 days to go and one can only hope with fervor that many more people will reach the same conclusion Sullivan has.

. . . . . Pants on Fire!

Clinical definition of a pathological liar:

* Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth.

* Lies to get sympathy, to look better, to save their butt, etc.

* May have a personality disorder.

* Extremely manipulative.

* Has been caught in lies repeatedly.

* Never fesses up to the lies.

* Is a legend in their own mind.

Sarah Palin -- check, check, check, check, check, check and check. Yep - she certainly qualifies. Meets every one of those attributes. No wonder they won't let the press talk to her.

Here's video proof:

Enquiring Minds Want To Know . . .

Sarah Plain & Tall's home-state newspaper of record has some questions for her which they'd like some serious and truthful answers to.

I suspect that if we ever do see the answers to those questions, it will be long after November 4th, 2008, AND, only if Sarah Palin and her sugar-daddy John McCain get a little help from their GOP election stealing gremlins to put them in power.

Of Mice and Mavericks . . .

In a just world the first paragraph of this AP article would be the real story surrounding the VP nomination of Sarah Palin and her post convention interaction with the media.

John McCain took a risk in picking little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate, but now the campaign's playing it safer. She's sticking to a greatest hits version of her convention speech on the campaign trail and steering clear of questions until she's comfortable enough for a hand-picked interviewer later this week.

If I were to re-write that paragraph in simple language that your average American voting dolt could understand it would go something like this:

Not so mavericky maverick John McCain took a risk in picking unqualified Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate, but now that the dog and pony show is over his campaign's is desperately trying to hide the phony Palin from public scrutiny. She's rehashing her deceitful convention speech on the campaign trail and desperately avoiding any tough or substantive questions until she's been coached enough to handle a hand-picked interviewer (right-wing milquetoast Charlie Gibson) later this week.

On the contrary Joe Biden is out and about mingling with the people, speaking in ad hoc public situations on a variety of topics important to all Americans without special handlers lurking nearby ready to intervene to shoo the media away if they ask too difficult a question.

Barack Obama went on Bill O'Reilly's hate-fest Fox show the other night. Wonder if the Maverick and the Hockey mom would dare go on Keith Olberman's show for an hour-long interview? Not in this life.

It really boils down to the cold, stark truth that McCain and Palin are no different from Bush and Cheney. None of them is capable of speaking in an unscripted, un-teleprompted event with real people as opposed to partisan-stacked audiences. They all fear the honest hard-edge journalists who ask substantive, tough questions. They all hide behind vicious, smear-merchant surrogates. In a nutshell - they're all cowards.

And that my friends is a load of bullshit change that you can count on.

GO f P - Grand Old fucking Pigs

Well now Senator Obama. I would say "them's fightin' words!"

If this horrible, sleazy McCain ad isn't proof enough that the phony maverick, John "I want change" McCain, has thrown his sorry lot in with the equally sleazy Karl Rove wing of the Republican party, I don't know what is.

Obama wants to teach sex education to kindergartners?? Does anyone with a shred of decency in their bodies or an ounce of intelligence in their brains actually believe that bullshit?? I know some people will believe it -- unquestioningly --- but god save this country's soul if a majority of people believe it.

And to this ad Obama and his people ought to say -- "alright - that's it - no more playing nice." There's an old saying, the exact words escape me at the moment -- but something about how you gotta get down in the mud to wrestle pigs. Obama and Joe Biden had better realize that no doubt about it, the GOP are pigs.

Sad to say though, this type of ad shouldn't be a shock to anyone who's closely followed politics for the past several years. In 2002 Georgia GOP pig Saxby Chambliss once put a television ad up against Democrat Max Cleland morphing video of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein into Cleland's picture. The inference was clear. Never mind the fact that Cleland had served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, attaining the rank of Captain, had been awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous action in combat, including during the Battle of Khe Sanh on April 4th, 1968, and had also left 3 limbs in that war-torn country. Saxby Chambliss (like a typical GOP chickenhawk) sat out that war with a bum knee but like a true-blue GOP oinker, had the unmitigated gall to cast aspersions on Max Cleland's patriotism.

So in summary - the GOP pigs, just like they did to Max Cleland in 2002, and incidentally, also like they did to John Kerry in 2004, are going to stir up the mud-pit once again. They're going to throw every scummy, sleazy, childish, brutish muddy lie at Barack Obama and Joe Biden that they possibly can. It's all they have. They sure as fuck don't have any vision for bettering the lives of the majority of Americans. They're a bunch of soulless fucks who's true god is political power and who couldn't give a rat's goddamn ass about anyone but their small cadre of wealthy supporters and their corporate puppet/pay-masters.

I really, really, really hate these fuckers.

Oops - Alaska Locals Snitch on Sarah!

Sarah Plain and Tall's own constituents and home state media are saying her narcissistic claims about being this heroic, towering figure of ethical purity in telling Congress that she didn't want The Bridge to Nowhere earmark is a crock of shit.

Looks like the Straight-Talk Express and his little Red Caboose are skidding off the truth tracks.

Too bad the media is more interested in sniffing around Bristol Palin's crotch than they are about exposing her mother for the phony liar that she is.

Lies and the Lying Liars . . .

How do you know when a lie by a conservative has been confirmed to be just that - a lie? When the reliably conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal says so.

Sarah Palin and her political sugar daddy John McCain are carpet bombing the media with their asinine little "Bridge to Nowhere" lie and it's goddamn time somebody called them on it.

Here's a video clip of the honorable (hack, cough) Governor Palin just yesterday repeating the lie yet again. If she and McCain will lie through their teeth ad-nauseum about this issue, do people realistically believe that they'll be honest and forthright about other issues that impact many more Americans than just a handful of folks on an island in Alaska?

Acknowledging that Sarah Palin and John McCain are liars is the first step to making an informed and intelligent decision on election day.

Here's yesterday's clip:

Why does Sarah Palin hate America?

Trivia question.

Who said the following: "I'm . . . not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

Jeopardy theme song plays . . . . . times up. I'll tell you who it wasn't. It wasn't former Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright. It wasn't distant Obama acquaintance and former radical William Ayers. Nope. It was made by Joe Vogler - founder of the Alaska Independence Party. A secessionist political party that Sarah Palin's husband Todd Palin was an active member of and which Sarah Palin herself has promoted and spoken on behalf of.

Hey - you know what? I don't give a shit whether Sarah Palin has been playing footsy with a bunch of right-wing America haters. But tell me this - can anyone with an iota of fairness and objectivity in them imagine for a nano-second that there wouldn't be 24x7 virulent rage and demands for accountability directed at Barack Obama if it was discovered that he had associated with a radical political party, who's documented party platform advocates for the secession of the state where he resides from the United States of America, and who's founder has so openly declared his hatred of America?

Yeah - that's what I thought.

I hate to keep harping on this word called hypocrisy, but it seems to be a very contagious disease amongst conservatives in this country. And these are the same goddamn people who smugly try to claim sole ownership of patriotism every chance they get.

It isn't too late for reasonable minded people to take a very, long, hard look at what they'd be getting with a McCain/Palin administration -- four more years of Bush/Cheney style governing where secrecy and bald-faced contempt for the law, the constitution and the opinions of the American people rule the day.
