Welcome to the Terrordome
ABC News just now:
EXCLUSIVE: GOV. SARAH PALIN WARNS WAR MAY BE NECESSARY IF RUSSIA INVADES ANOTHER COUNTRY
Is there anything Sarah Palin can say or do that will make people realize that she is too crazy to be vice president? A quick rundown of the atrocities so far:
- As mayor, her town charged rape victims for their medical exams.
- As mayor, she inquired about banning books and then subsequently tried to fire the town librarian for not showing sufficient loyalty.
- The constant and shameless lies about the Bridge to Nowhere.
- She supports teaching creationism side-by-side with evolution in science classes.
Anything else? Could she do anything else that would just make her beyond-the-pale crazy for most people?
UPDATE: OK, so the whole quote is apparently this:
“I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help.”
Which is why Georgia and Ukraine probably shouldn’t be brought into NATO. But hell, since Obama has stupidly endorsed the same position, I don’t see this getting all that much traction.
Gavin adds: On the other hand, here’s what Pam Atlas got out of the story:
ABC EXCLUSIVE: GOV. SARAH PALIN WARNS WAR MAY BE NECESSARY IF RUSSIA INVADES ANOTHER COUNTRY
G-d bless this woman. This is exactly what America has been lacking. The era of a foreign policy driven by an impotent and dhimmi State department is over.
I can only pray it’s a McCain/Palin presidency like Bush/Cheney.
Well really, why not attack Russia? After the lesson of Iraq, it’s just obvious that we’d win the wars against Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and North Korea that the neocons have been spoiling for. A quick invasion of Russia China… No wait, I mean China — no, Russia. I mean Russia. An invasion of China Russia might be just the challenge that America needs.
Maybe a ground war in the winter or something — we’ll figure it out as we go.

The next four months better go by fast, because shit is hitting the fan, I suspect in honor of Bush’s descent into a madmans quest for a legacy.
Anyone thinking Palin is up to the tasks of the latest developments are out of their minds…
Serious issues being overrided by Americans thirst for tits, dead wolves and hey…being a beauty queen can’t hurt.

I have no idea what you’re hinting at Handy. Everything is a conspiracy is that it? Sorry but that nonsense won’t get anywhere with me.
Even with the updated point that she was talking about an attack on a NATO member this is still a gift. Tact and discretion go a long long way and she has none of those. She is reckless and frankly, out of her f*cking mind. But the Obama campaign knows what they are doing. They should have no trouble tearing her and McCain to shreds now.

Forgive me if my point wasn’t plain enough, but Republicans make the message. They drive the media narrative. They’ve done that as far back as I can remember, right around the time when a guy named William Jefferson Clinton was inaugurated. So in reality, Obama has two opponents he’s campaigning against, the McCain ticket and the media.
If you think that’s nonsense, then I have a few questions for you:
Did you know Al Gore invented the internet?
Did you know that some people saw John Kerry shoot himself in the foot, and was rewarded a Purple Heart for his effort?
Did you know that Sarah Palin is a reformer whose only crime is that she was “for the bridge to nowhere” before she was against it, but eventually she came around and did the right thing so all is forgiving?
D. Aristophanes said,
September 12, 2008 at 0:12
Somerby’s got the juice on the Bridge to Nowhere lie and it needs to get hammered relentlessly. It’s the part about ‘I told Congress’ in the ‘I told Congress thanks but no thanks on that Bridge to Nowhere.’
When did she tell Congress? Who did she tell in Congress? Does she have any record of telling Congress this?
The chronology, of course, shows that Congress had already stopped offering a ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ while Palin was still supporting it. So by the time she cancelled the project, there was no reason for her to say ‘thanks but no thanks’ to Congress for something they weren’t even offering.
Unless, of course, she’s literally insane and makes a habit of rejecting things that nobody is actually offering to her. Maybe she also told Congress, ‘thanks but no thanks on that shipment of purple cheese’.
I’m not ruling out that she’s just nuts, but I’m leaning towards the only other explanation, which is that she’s a big fat liar.

– As mayor, she racked up a $20 million debt in six years. Even if we go by the very generous estimate of ~8,000 people in Wasilla, this is $2,500 for every man, woman and child.
I’m surprised she was even elected governor (though she did fail her first bid for gov). I guess the previous guy was a real fuck up.

But that would be assuming that Rove/Cheney do anything other than seek instant gratification. But with their weight/health issues, who can blame them? Fascist

Here’s the thing about Palin that I thought conservatives would really get a kick out of. As Mayor of Wasilla, she tripled the size of town government and left the previously balanced budget $22 million in the hole.
As I’ve said before, the town I live in is almost exactly the same size as Wasilla. If our town manager ran up a $22 million debt for us, we’d be using his body parts as lobster bait. AFTER he was rat-fucked. And this is a fairly liberal, Democratic town.

Uhhh, you know that NATO’s mutual defense clause is the entire point of the alliance right?
It was the legal underpinning for the multinational invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11 for instance.
Still, it doesn’t apply in this case. Palin’s just mentioning war because it always appeals to the right to have an angry Russian bear to wrestle with.

Anything short of a total screaming meltdown on live television will pale in comparison to Obama being caught without his flag lapel pin.
My hopes in this election are pinned on two things: the likely record breaking Dem turnout and the American people finally tiring of our media force-feeding us petty pseudo-scandals while our world crumbles to the dust. It’s not my nature to be hopeful, but it’s a fact that the last six months of fake-ass bullshit flung at Obama had a negligible effect on his polling.
Note that I have absolutely no faith in our media to actually cover the issues in any meaningful way, despite some hopeful progress in that direction. Just as it happened with the Olberman/Matthews debate flap, their corporate overlords will put the smack down on any trouble making.
Let’s not forget that Amy Goodman, along with many others, was arrested for practicing journalism not a whole two weeks ago.

Post ad feature a vulture attacking a small child with the words “She Wants to Invade Russia” superimposed, followed by the words “And Destroy the World!” superimposed over the most scary picture of Palin in the archives. Repeat. Repeat Again.
Visit every conservative blog you can find and first post messages saying “I’m a huge Republican, but I’m very worried about Sarah Palin’s plans to launch a nuclear attack on Russia and destroy the world.” Then post under a different name (in all caps) “PALIN IS A SLEEPER TERRORIST AGENT WHO’S GOING 2 START A WAR WIT TEH SOVIETS SO BIN LADEN CAN RULE TEH POST-AP4OCLYPSE.”
Call all the networks and demand to know why they aren’t giving enough coverage to Sarah Palin’s plans for a nuclear holocaust (even though it’s by this point pretty much 24/7 on the news rotation). Call again. Repeat. Start online petitions and blog-centered letter writing campaigns demanding more news coverage of Sarah Palin’s plans to sacrifice the earth to Satan in a violent nuclear bloodbath and insist that any news anchor that doesn’t spend the entirity of his or her show on the subject should immediately be fired. Repeat.

So is not knowing the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite, yet our press puppy-dogs assured us that McCain really does know which is which, he simply misspoke eight times. We haven’t heard about that in awhile because McCain took care of the problem. No silly, he didn’t learn his mid-eastern politics, he just stopped talking about it. Let’s face it, if a Repuke isn’t blast-faxing about something, it doesn’t exist.
Naturally, had Obama made that error it would have been the top story for a month straight. Lucky for us that he’s not a drooling fuckwit, which uncivilly forces our press corpse to focus on his use of a phrase that was old when McCain was in potty training and has probably been used by 90% of this country’s politicians at one time or another, yet they just can’t seem to remember what it means.

Ah, Troof. Shitting out our mouth again. I guess with an asshole for a face it’s inevitable.
As is so often the case you are so fucking catastrophically stupid you have no idea what the real issue is, you mouth-breathing troglodyte.
Sarah Palin’s crime is to be crazier than Pat Robertson when it comes to matters of religion and government.
Palin believes religion should have a place in government. The primary place in government. Americans do not.
Palin is also a revelation, a nobody whose Stone Age policy positions were unknown before McTheusalah plucked her from total obscurity.
You would never have seen this outpouring of shock and dismay over Kay Bailer Hutchison or Olympia Snowe, two Republicans who would have made far better choices on any number of different levels than Paleolin.
What is always missing from the neocon narrative is reason. Hutchison or Snowe would have been reasonable people as reasonable choices
Paleolin is nothing but a giant hunk of babealicious red meat thrown to misanthropic douchebag Cro-Mags like yourself. By any other reasonable measure she is a cipher who brings nothing but theocracy to the table.

Clearly, Obama should have picked Hillary Clinton as his veep. Had he done this, he would be polling strongly right now and would have many ordinary Americans on his side. Also, in this proposed strategy, ‘Hillary Clinton’ is named ‘Sarah Palin’. And Barack Obama is named ‘John McCain’. Such a principled electoral calculus would truly demonstrate that Obama is serious and prepared to assume the presidency.

I mean, think about it: she’s a woman, and (much like Sarah Palin) she won’t respond to questions from the press. But everyone will know they can trust her because, literally, you can easily get inside her head. She’s even older than John McCain (I think) which wins the geriatric vote. She’s big on welcoming minorities, so she’s got their vote. She looks good on t.v. and anyone who doesn’t like her is unpatriotic.
(The only drawback is the GOP would have used the “she looks French” sh*t they pulled on John Kerry.)
I just don’t know about the campaign signs: would they read “Obama/Statue” or “Obama/Liberty”?

Some important data points.
Russia did not invade Georgia “unprovoked”. There were negotiations on an agreement on the status of South Ossetia, and Georgia violated it by massively crossing into that region under air and artillery support. Now sure, nobody was negotiating in good faith, but they were NEGOTIATING. Let’s be clear here – russia no more wants NATO fucking around on her doorstep then america wants russians in cuba or venezuela – when presented with an opportunity to make the nations comprising her “near abroad” recognize the risks of becoming too friendly with the west, she didn’t pass it up.
Mutual defense alliances between small, weak states and large powerful states are, and always have been, foolhardy. The weak states can provoke their neighbors all they want, because they know they have serious military capability available without having to develop it on their own. If Georgia and Ukraine are admitted to NATO, it is the perfect shortcut to a nuclear exchange. Which is why, ultimately, the european members won’t stand for it.
You think a ship and two bombers constitute “war games” in venezuela? Well, hold on to your tinfoil beanie, my friend, because the big bad bear knows exactly how to counter aggressive american moves in eastern europe. And that is aggressive russian moves in latin america. And with oil and gas wealth and advanced weapons, she is a counterweight in our hemisphere all out of proportion to her global relevance. Look for additional military assistance programs with other latin american nations, including mexico and cuba…

How did we get to this point?

I assume there are enough sane NATO countries to prevent the US from dragging us all into a war over overt US anti-Russian aggression (hello ‘Missile Shield’ to prevent apocalyptic Iranian nuclear war – hahaha, try saying that with a straight face). NATO members, particularily European ones, know what is potentially at stake if we were to accept Russian border states into the alliance and, I assume, would not be keen to find themselves backed into a fight with one of their major oil and gas suppliers. Look at the current NATO troop committment problems in Afghanistan.
Course if McInsane wants to get up his whole ‘League of Democracies’ (hello empire!!), I’m sure they would be glad to drag the world into World War III (or whatever roman numeral the neocons want to shoot for).

See, my take on it is this: Georgia has pretty much done nothing with South Ossetia but low-level ethnic cleansing at any point it’s ever been a modern independent state.
You see the videos and the coverage, you’re looking at the Georgians blasting away at commercial and residential buildings on empty streets. It was the first act of a fucking genocide.
Anyone who keeps Georgia out of South Ossetia is a fucking hero; he could be the love child of Bin Laden and Hitler and he’d still in doing so avert unmeasurable human misery. The only way to come to any other conclusion is to (a) pretend the Georgian incursion never happened or (b) pretend that the Ossetians are the ancestral homeland of Judeo-Bolshevism.

I’d like to quote Clark just to rub it in Troof’s face:
It seems as though there are only two possible reasons for John McCain to be taking this hardline pro-NAMBLA stance: Either he really dislikes children and wants them to suffer more sexual abuse, or else he really admires sexual molesters and wants to ensure that they remain free to carry on doing what they do.
Now, to be fair, it’s possible that John McCain is not the driving force behind the decision for his campaign to embrace the sexual abuse of children. Perhaps it was his campaign manager, lobbyist Rick Davis, or his senior campaign adviser, lobbyist Steve Schmidt, who insisted — perhaps for intensely personal reasons — that the protection of sexual predators become a key part of John McCain’s agenda.
Let me be clear: I am not suggesting that John McCain is opposed to teaching children about appropriate and inappropriate touching just because he is himself a sexual predator. I am sure he has other reasons for making children more vulnerable.
Nor am I suggesting that Rick Davis or Steve Schmidt is promoting such an agenda only because it would make it less likely that they will ever be indicted for touching small children inappropriately. I doubt either of them is scared of getting caught doing that.
It is strange, though, that all three of these men felt so strongly about this issue that they chose to inject it into the national campaign.
Now that the issue is out there, though, just remember what their ad says: John McCain promises to keep children vulnerable and to make life easier for sexual predators.
That, my friends, is change that NAMBLA can believe in.

It goes along with the whole “vision thing.”
No blink for no blink leaves the whole world’s eyes diseased.

No patience, that’s their problem. Unbridled greed is now bringing down the whole financial house of cards. Okay for the Little People, like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. Meanwhile, the big winners are making plans to go offshore and buy servants.
People who only think they are players, like Karl Rover? He’ll be left holding the bag. Whatever money he got out of this is chump change, and servants are only patted on the head while they are performing. Someone has to do the perp walk while their betters are cruising through customs.
I think the puppet masters are getting out of the whole schmeer. They’re going to go off and rampage through another country somewhere, since this one is no longer fertile ground for them. They will leave the party to the wingnuts, because no one, but no one, really handles wingnuts.

reform of this country and victory in the war

This country needs reform because YOU assholes broke it, wiped your ass with the constitution and refused to allow oversight and, oh yeah, our guys couldn’t be fucking BOTHERED to prosecute you for it.
And let’s talk about your “victory” in “the war”. First, there is no war. Remember the spoon? That’s your war. No matter how you tend to feel about aggressive invasions of nations with whom we are at peace, america won “victory” in the america/iraq war in late april, 2003. Since then, there has not been a “war”, there has been an “occupation”. You cannot win one of those, and lot’s of historical people could have told you that if you’d bothered to ask.
So how bout you go back and try again, sistah.

So why did CNN decide to cut the interview? The thing is, Putin came off pretty darn well. Sure, the chicken embargo was embarrassing, but the McCain/neocon conspiracy theory wasn’t as crazy as some would want you to believe. Gary Brecher has been saying all along that this little war had the mark of a half-baked neocon plan for world domination. As Gary says, Georgia’s move makes no sense at all from a Georgian perspective. Somebody must have told those idiots they’d be safe to retake South Ossetia. And who better than Cheney?
I like to see the furor over Palin (at least most of it) as being something of a feminist triumph. There has never been a woman in this country taken seriously enough to be villified as an open and dangerous fascist; even the Clinton hacks merely saw Clinton as an abstract, personal threat. She’s been the first actual villain from the whole chorus of right-wing hags we’ve been dealing with since ‘94, and everyone seems to notice it: even that despicable cretin Paglia has seen the writing on the wall and the tenor of her lie tells volumes of the truth.

Yup – Dolan (who sometimes posts under his own name when it’s become clear his latest scheme for tenure has failed) is a particularly insightful and funny writer. He does sometimes make novice mistakes – but he doesn’t cover them up as most would. The article linked makes the particularly baffling mistake of inflating the size of legions by a factor of ten – which actually strengthens his point when corrected, but still.
Everything by Dolan as both Dolan and the War Nerd is thoroughly worth reading. It’s great stuff, and it’s a good thing he’s gone back to doing it. I can’t even imagine getting through the South Ossetia war without it.

Aside from the fact that I don’t know what that has to do with foreign policy, what I want to know is – when did she have the time? She’s only been in office 20 months; she spent all that time driving back and forth to home 45 miles, cooking for her family, selling jets, having a baby and harassing a state trooper – when did she have the time to develop oil and gas production?
What else is she going to say she’s done? Did she invent the internet too?

Of the agonizing holocaust!

And no shrinking violet,

You must mean his efforts to push the idea that nobody really knows what the Bush Doctrine is for sure.
So if Norman and Andy can’t agree on exactly what the Bush doctrine is how can Sarah Palin be expected to do anything but stare blankly at Charlie Gibson when asked about it?
Update: he’s gone from saying the Bush Doctrine is something he and Podhoretz have hotly debated the definition of to saying it’s not really definable because Wikipedia’s not so sure either.

Pick a fucking side you overpriveleged Manhattan cunt (see McCain, John for a definition of ‘cunt.’) Also trollop (see McCain, John for a definition of trollop).
Or you can get them both together:
“Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day.

Off-Topic, maybe, but check out the thread Ground Zero etiquette: A tale of two roses over at MichelleMalkin.com. It is the most disturbingly out-of-balance wingnuttery I have ever read. A tiny, trivial detail of Obama’s behavior used to rationalize a tsunami of hatred and suspicion.
MM and her cult painstakingly analyze the way the two presidential candidates placed their roses at the NYC memorial on 9/11 and the commenters almost unanimously agree that it all demonstrates how McCain is the noblest of heroes but Obama is soulless, devoid of integrity, and indifferent to anything but his mad plan to destroy all that is or ever was Holy and Good in the history of western society.
As you read, remember that these are the people who are always bitterly and condescendingly referring to “Bush Derangement Syndrome” and “Palin Derangement Syndrome.”
Dissenting commenters are dismissed as hateful without a hint of irony, and one brave voice offering video evidence of errors in Malkin’s description is pretty much just ignored.
It’s so plain crazy you might even hope this could be a jump-the-shark (Nuke-the-fridge?) moment for MM, even in the minds of conservative readers. But don’t hold your breath.

Some talking points for Obama’s campaign, culled from various sources around the InternetsTubes:
“Am I running against John McCain or Sarah Palin?”
“If the Republicans wanted her to be president, they should have nominated her.”
“Maybe Republicans are used to a vice president that runs the show.”
(cf. Rude Pundit)

_______________
(Point out shameless distortion of ads such as “sex ed” and turn it back on him):
“John McCain is on record as opposing legislation that would help make children safe from sexual predators. Why does McCain hate America’s children?” etc.
Also:
Where is Michelle Obama? Couldn’t we all use some media images that contrast between an intelligent, truly happily married professional woman and successful mother and the autobot rich-bitch Cindy McCain and the ambitious-hockey-mom-from-hell Palin? And how about getting Joe Biden in there somewhere, and his lovely wife? Perhaps the image of marriages that are solid and children who aren’t fucked up would help set up a subtextual vibe among those undecideds who I’d guess are starting to hunger for that sort of thing, perhaps even in spite of themselves. Yes, I know Dems aren’t as eager to whore themselves and pimp their families out as the Rethugs are, but, well, we are at war for the future of our country, as someone once said.

Wait, are we entirely sure she said in that interview that she didn’t blink? Doesn’t “think” make a lot more sense? When her son said he wanted to join the giant debacle in Iraq, she didn’t think to actually learn anything about the conflict. When her unwed daughter told her she was pregnant, she didn’t think it seemed in poor taste to parade her and her boyfriend in front of the cameras and brag about her daughter’s decision in order to deflect rumors about covering up that same daughter’s alleged earlier pregnancy. When she was told her own child wold be born with Down Syndrome, she didn’t think it might be wise to take off more than three days after his birth before going back to work. Heck, when her water broke, she didn’t think anything of hopping a few flights to travel across the country after giving a speech despite the obvious risks. When the McCain campaign asked her to be the vice-presidential nominee, she didn’t think there was anyone more qualified for the job. When she wanted to build a sports complex (unlike the water treatment center she’d promised), she didn’t think to see if the government had the rights to the land before plowing ahead. When she… you get the idea.

In Peter Gent’s excellent novel North Dallas Forty, at one point the main character sez, “I was filled to my eyeballs with hate.”
That’s the way I feel this morning. I’ve just had it up to the eyeballs with the Malkins, festering boils on the asshole of decency that they are. I’ve had it with the boo hoo hoo I-hate-Obama-cause-he’s-not-in-possession-of-a-womb shit we’re still hearing from certain quarters, I’ve had it with people who only look at this election from the narrow perspective of their own immediate wants and needs, and I’ve had it with the fucking media not doing its fucking job.
I’m getting a chuckle out of poor Charlie Gibson’s predicament, though. Talk about being damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Got us over here yelling “Ask her the tough questions!” and them over there screaming “Stop being mean to the nice soccer mom!” If that doesn’t sum up the effed up state of American politics I don’t know what does.
Sarah Palin got owned by Charlie Gibson. She falls into the Evil/Stupid quadrant of the graph, I guess. If I believed in a god or gods, I’d be praying and crying out: God help us. If McCain/Palin wins the elction, America can take the proud title Dumbest Nation In The World.

I am about 25% convinced that if the McPOW/Mooseburger ticket wins, there are a number of major nations that will start a shadow economic boycott of America.

“So tell me, why should we listen to anything you say? Ever?”
Guessie, like many GOPig commentators, is only interested in spreading FUD and convincing Democrats to give up and go home. It’s part of the two-pronged GOP strategy to reduce the Democratic vote count.
Phase 1: discourage as many likely Democratic voters ahead of the election — try to make them think that their cause is already lost.
Phase 2: disenfranchise and discourage as many Democratic voters as possible on Election Day by challenging their ballots, putting few/poorly-functioning coting machines in heavily Democratic precincts, etc.
This is just part of their plan. It’s nothing but desperation — since they can’t win an issues debate and they don’t have a positive record to point to (not to mention the fact that the GOP is sinking the economy as we speak), they have to lie, misrepresent and quite simply try to talk us out of our votes.
The fact that Guessie is so incredibly easy to debunk indicates to me that their effort is little more than perfunctory this time out, and that when the votes are in, it’s going to be Dewey Defeats Truman time for the GOP again.

Nope. Not in the least. (laughing)
Did you even bother to educate yourself after what I asked you yesterday? Do you still not know what *likely* voters means?
Go check out how many new voters the Democrats have registered in the last twelve months. Then ask yourself what the polls are going to do when all those new Democratic voters show up at the polls in November. Your paid “attorneys” won’t be able to turn them all away.
“and this is with built in proObama bias in the polls.”
You can go on telling yourself that, but given your demonstrated ignorance of statistics, polls and sampling techniques, as well as your ignorance of what pollsters are biased in which direction, I think I’ll rely on my own counsel in this area. Suffice it to say that you simply don’t know what you’re talking about.
“Not panicking yet?”
Not a bit. But you are; that’s why you’re here. Saint Sarah has been unmasked as an ignorant cretin, and McCain’s sent her back to Alaska because the one stump speech she managed to memorize isn’t hitting with the crowds any longer. Your game’s falling apart, and I suspect that you know it.
I look forward to Saint Sarah’s next deer-caught-in-the-headlights appearance in the media. And I can’t wait to hear the next set of applause lines her handlers manage to get her to memorize. Tell me, did installing a new hard drive in her head cost the McCain campaign very much, or did Saint Sarah just claim it on her per diem expenses?

Again, Truth, why should we listen to a word you say?
Democrats have 5:1 and some places 6:1 voters registering Democrat. Deployed troops are giving money to Obama at a rate of 6:1 over McCain.
My feeling is, YOUR scared because you know in your heart of hearts that McCain doesn’t have a chance.

“I know on campus it’s cool to wear your Obama shirt, but just because people aren’t wearing McCain shirts doesn’t mean they won’t vote for them.”
Yes. You wouldn’t believe how many students at the all-women’s college I attend have posters of McCain secretly tacked inside their rooms, where they can giggle and sigh at his dreamy cheekbones and chocolatey, taut skin, his tall-dark-and-handsome frame, his intense honest eyes– um, wait. Nevermind.
I know McCain isn’t as pretty or smart or talented or sane or decent or educated or competent as certain other politicians, but we liberal arts college girls love him ’cause he respects us! You can tell by how happy and successful his firs– um, *second* wife is. Or something. Heartland.

“Are you relying on the same youth surge that won failed to show up for Kerry?”
Of course not. That was 2004. This is 2008. Catch up to the rest of the class.
The Democrats built a massive, 50-state registration drive that has yielded several million newly registered voters that are not — repeat, *not* captured by pollsters. The term “likely voters” excludes new registrants, therefore polls of “likely voters” (which most polls at this point are checking) do not include said new registrants.
Since Republicans like you are terrified of losing, your best bet is to simply discourage as many Democrats as possible from voting in the first place. That’s why you’re here.
“Or are you still hoping that the massive voter fraud the Democrats perpetrated in places like Wisconsin will carry the day for you this time?”
You have as much evidence of “massive voter fraud” on the part of the Democrats as I have that the new Palin child isn’t actually Sarah Palin’s spawn. IOW, you’re simply engaging in fabulism.
“Either way, the polls are indicating a narrow lead for McCain,”
By ignoring the several million new Democratic voters now on the rolls.
“and all of us who are brave enough to admit to ourselves know that McCain has a massive silent majority.”
Then you’d better get them out to the polls, shouldn’t you? It’s a shame that you have to act like a school kid on the basketball court, talking smack instead of bringing your “A” game.
Of course, if you actually had an “A” game to bring, you’d have actually nominated a candidate your party could get behind instead of saying ‘ah, well, none of these candidates are any good, so let’s let McCain have a turn.’ It wasn’t so long ago that your party was agonizing over whether Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Julie Annie or Ron Paul were even worth showing up for. Plus, you couldn’t even fill your convention venue, the President didn’t bother to show up and quite a few state and Federal congressmen and senators stayed away.
Well, when your choice is driving into Minneapolis over a collapsed bridge or flying into MSP and risking an accidental photo-op in the Larry Craig Memorial Tearoom, I suppose we can’t fault your ideological fellow travelers for punking out.
But don’t try to make that lackluster display into something “brave.” That’s bullshit, and we all know it.
“I know on campus it’s cool to wear your Obama shirt, but just because people aren’t wearing McCain shirts doesn’t mean they won’t vote for them.”
I wouldn’t know about what’s going on over “on campus;” I’m far too old for that. And as far as your fabulist construct goes, you appear to be saying that popularity doesn’t determine who’s going to win. In that case, I’m very interested in why the polls are always the first thing you cite. Either popularity matters, or it does not. You’re quite clearly trying to have it both ways, and that’s just another sign of your desperation, troll.
“You are going to be very, very surprised at the vote totals on Nov 4.”
Yes, I am. I’m going to surprised that any Democrat was ever worried about losing this election in the first place, given how high Obama’s vote totals will wind up being.
“There is a massive, massive anti-Obama groundswell amongst the American people right now.”
Which explains why Obama routinely beats the pants off McCain in terms of raw numbers of campaign contributors and total amount of contributions raised from individuals. But perhaps reality just has a liberal bias?
“Liberals are talking about narrowing polls, fundraising drying up, and a sense of momentum loss”
Evidence? Corroborating evidence of your claims?
No? Didn’t think so.
” – let me tell you, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
Says the ignorant, anonymous internet troll who is known to make things up. Remind me why anyone should believe anything you say?
“You’ll see.”
Yes, you will.

Well, OB-GYN, that isn’t as hopeful and I’d hoped . . . Ah, well, dream to bright to last and all that.

Considering that Ron Paul *refused* McCain’s request for an endorsement (see article), I wouldn’t paint the sky so dark.

Regarding NATO membership for Georgia: Obama DID NOT say that Georgia should be a member of NATO, as McCain repeatedly has. Obama has only said that Georgia should be able to participate in a NATO “Membership Action Plan,” which is a long-term plan for moving an aspirant nation toward membership — it does not guarantee membership, and the process can take many years. Also, and really important, countries with a Membership Action Plan are obligated to resolve outstanding territorial disputes before they can become NATO members.
So everyone please stop saying Obama’s position on this is the sae as McCain’s — because it is very, very different, and way smarter.
